A/N- Sorry ppl! I have been busy with all sorts of crap these days… 16 days till my 15th b-day! WOOT!

"… And they're off!"

James, Sirius, Lyn, Ryn, and Chloe were all piled on top of Lily's bed. Lily had been banished to the foot of it with Remmy. Little children feet were in her face, and Lyn's face was on top of Lily's stomach, her strawberry blonde hair knotted into a bun making it uncomfortable for Lily.

Lily's mind was racing today was September first. She hoped for the best, as she was about to leave for Hogwarts for the rest of the year. Trying to get up to find a clock, she found it quite hard with her siblings sleeping on top of her. She lifted her right arm and started pushing Lyn off of her stomach. In the commotion, Remmy woke up and started barking, waking everyone up.

James and Sirius toppled off the bed while Chloe climbed from the bottom up. Lyn sat up and let Lily up, and Ryn just laid there until everyone else was on their feet.

"Sorry," Lily apologized, "I was trying to see what time it was." She got to her feet and climbed down the ladder that led to the rest of her "bedroom." The others followed, Remmy was carried in Chloe's arms. Lyn and Ryn sat on the couch as the boys sat on the floor in front of them. Chloe ran into the bathroom as Lily walked into her closet to finish packing her clothing. There was a knock at the door, and their mother came in.

"Breakfast is ready when ever you want it," she told them in a loud voice to Chloe and Lily could hear. "Lily-bell, do you need anything while your packing?"

"More socks and knickers would be nice!" came the shout of a desperate girl. Suddenly, a large BOOM was heard from the closet. "WOOPS!"

Ginny rushed into the room, "Darling are you alright?" she asked, desperately trying to see if her eldest was all right.

"Fine, mum, just dropped my books," Lily smiled widely at her mum.

Chloe came out of the bathroom, hair wrapped up in a towel. "Chloe, what have I told you about taking a shower in my bathroom?"

"Oh come on, Lils," The girl threw her hand s down dramatically. "You let Lyn and Ryn shower in it. Why cant I?"

Lily looked at her sister as her mother got up. "Because you leave hair in the drain. As long as you clean up the hair, I don't care."

"I didn't this time," the little girl told her, hands on her hips.

Lily went back to packing. About five minutes later she looked up. "Wait," she called to Chloe, "could you grab all my toiletries from the bathroom." Lily handed her sister a tiny bag.

"How am I supposed to fit all of your crap in here?"

Lily sighed as she got up. She walked took the bag from her sister and waved her hand. The bag filled and the bathroom emptied.

About a half an hour later, around 9:30, Lily was all packed to go and waiting for her family. "COME ON!" she called desperately. "I'm ready to go!"

"Darling, the train doesn't leave until 11 o'clock," her mother said brushing her hair. "You have plenty of time to get there. I remember we always were rushed, getting trunks in the car, making sure everyone had everything." Ginny wiped a tear from her eye. "You make sure you try all of the foods at dinner. I don't want you to be starved while there. And whenever you have a problem, go to your father. The password is "Bottomless Soda-Straws." And do be good for all of your teachers, I don't want to hear that on your first week you get a detention, I don't care about after that, if your anything like your father or Fred and George, you'll get plenty."

"Mum, come on. Lets go so I can get a good seat," Lily begged.

"Alright, CHILDREN! Lets go," Ginny called. Five pairs of feet pattered from all directions.

A little brown mop whined. "Oh, Remmy. I'll be home in a bit."

And they were off…
