So sorry I took so long to update, been EXTREMELY busy. I'll try to update sooner. I'm glad everyone is liking this story and reviewing.

Chapter 8-Summer Lovin'
Everyone had slept in, because they had stayed up so late the night before. It was around 10 o' clock in the mourning, the phone started ringing. Lily groaned and put her pillow over her head. Sirius was moving his arm around as if looking for his alarm clock ready to break it. James mumbled something angrily, Remus yelled at Sirius to turn his alarm clock off and put his pillow over his head, and Suffie was mumbling something about it being to early. The phone stopped ringing and then started again. Lily finally realized it was the phone but didn't feel like getting up to get it. 'Probably just Mum and Dad checking up anyway,' She thought as she fell asleep again.
Sirius tried going back to sleep but couldn't. He sighed and got up to go change. He went into the bathroom and took a shower, he yawned and then walked back into the living room everyone was still sound asleep. Sirius, knowing that Remus and James were almost as impossible to wake up as himself, smirked and laughed to himself. He went over and pushed James near Lily and put James arm around her. Then he walked over Remus and Suffie and did the same. 'Man, I'm good,' he thought to himself. He got his camera out of his bag and took a few pictures, smiled, and then walked out side. He shoved his camera into his pocket and started to walk down the street. He knew the other way was how they went to the supermarket and other stores but he hadn't been down this way yet. He passed a house that had a big truck in front of it. 'Someone must be moving in, I guess,' He thought to himself. He continued walking down the street until the road stopped. It was a dead end, but at the end there was a small park. There were a few kids on the jungle gym and some were playing tag. He saw a girl reading a book under a tree, she looked about the same age as him. She had brown wavy hair a little bit below her shoulders, she was thin and looked very pretty. She was wearing a pink tank top that criss-crossed in the back, a pair of light, faded jean shorts and a pair of white tennis shoes. Sirius started to walk towards her, he was about to say hello when she stood up and began to start walking but bumped into him because she didn't realize he was there. She yelped and her book fell to the ground. Sirius bent down to pick it up but no sooner had he done so she snatched it away from him. She had not done so quick enough for him not to read the title though. It read Hogwarts: A History. 'Must be my lucky day,' He thought to himself.
"Hogwarts, eh? Do you attend that school?" He asked. She looked at him surprised.
"Perhaps I do," She said and then smiled as she understood he wasnt just an ordinary person, "Do you?"
"In fact I do," He said, "Now, are you a transfer? I know you don't already go to Hogwarts, I would have noticed such a pretty thing as yourself."
"I'm a transfer, I'm going to be attending Hogwarts this year. I just moved in down the street," She explained and started walking. Sirius stood there for a second and then ran a bit to catch up behind her.
"What year?" He asked.
"I'm going into my 5th year," She said and then sat down on a swing. Only a few little kids were now running around. Sirius went behind her and gave her swing a push.
"May I have your name?" He asked charmingly.
"I'm Lindsey Laurence, you?" She said.
"Sirius Black at your service," He said, "Where are you transferring from?"
"Beauxbotoms in France. I'm English though, I was born here but then we moved to France when I was ten." She said and then got up from the swing. "I should be getting home"
"Can I walk you? I'm going that way anyway," Sirius said.
"Sure," Lindsey said. They started walking down the street until they finally got to her house.
"Not everything thing is unpacked yet, but the kitchen is if you want to come in and get a drink maybe?" she asked. Sirius agreed and the both walked inside. The house was pretty big and looked very nice. She showed him to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
"What would you like lemonade, ice tea, water, pumpkin juice, or orange juice." She asked.
"Pumpkin juice will be fine," He said and took a seat on a stool that was at one of the counter tops. She poured it into a cup and handed it to him, then she poured herself some lemonade and sat next to him. After she did, a boy who was chasing a girl both came running into the room yelling.
"Luke and Lucy, both of you calm down" She said. Both kids stopped were they were. "This is my brother Luke, he's in his 4th year and Lucy, she's in her 2nd" Lindsey explained to Sirius. "I think my parents liked the sound of the first and last names starting with the letter 'L'" She said and laughed.(AN- If you don't get that all three kids names are- Lindsey Laurence, Luke Laurence, and Lucy Laurence)
"Who is he?" Luke asked folding his arms over his chest.
"This is Sirius Black, he's going into his 5th year at Hogwarts, like me," She said. "My rooms pretty much unpacked we can go up there," She said to Sirius and led him up a staircase. She opened a door and stepped into the room. It was pretty empty so far except a dresser, bed, and desk. On the desk was a large, beautiful barn owl in a cage. Lindsey took the owl out and fed it some owl treats.
"This is my owl, Hera," She said. Then she went to the window and let him outside to fly around. They sat down and talk for a while, Sirius was telling her about Hogwarts.
"I better be going I don't live around here. I'm staying with some people. They all go to Hogwarts too," He said thinking, "If you want you can stop by and meet them later."
"Sounds great," She said and smiled. He told her the house number and then left. He walked down the street and dashed into Lily's house. It was about noon, he walked inside to see everyone still asleep and still in the positions he left them in. He laughed quickly.
"You guys, wake your lazy butts up!" He yelled. No one moved. "Wake up!" Only Remus opened his eyes. He noticed he was holding Suffie but didn't let her go.
"Am I seeing things, or are you the first one awake Sirius?" Remus asked "How long have you been up?"
"For a while," Sirius said and shrugged.
"Congratulations Sirius, I don't believe you have ever woken up without anyone yelling at you too," Remus said. He was still lying down holding Suffie, he put his chin on top of her head. " So what were you up to?" He asked.
"I went for a walk, met a girl..." He said
"You met someone, who?" Remus asked.
"Her name is Lindsey Laurence. I saw her reading a book and it turned out to be Hogwarts a history. I guess she's transferring here from a witchcraft and wizardry school in France and she's in the same year as us," Sirius explained and flopped down on the couch. "So shall we wake James and Lily up?" Sirius said with a smirk. Remus nodded. Sirius kicked James lightly with his foot. "Hey, love birds wake up," James and Lily opened their eyes. Lily yelped and they both sprang apart. Sirius and Remus laughed.
"Ha ha, very funny Sirius" James said as he yawned. Suffie woke up hearing everyone laughing. She looked up at Remus who was holding her, she didn't mind, she just smiled.
"What did I miss?" She asked.
"I'll show you when I get the pictures developed," Sirius snickered.
"Sirius, I'll kill you!" Lily yelled.
"Already taken care of!" James yelled and pounced on Sirius. They wrestled around a bit until Sirius finally had James in a headlock as they stood up.
"Arg, okay I give in!" James said his face slightly red. Sirius was smirking as Remus took a picture of the two. Sirius ruffled James's messy hair and let go of him.
"Moony, how could you?" James said complaining about the picture Remus took.
"Couldn't resist," Remus said, shrugging as he threw Sirius his camera. Lily and Suffie left, mumbling about how guys were so immature sometimes, to go change into some clothing.
They were all eating breakfast and Sirius was telling them about Lindsey. Half way through Twink, Suffie's owl, came flying in.
"Well it can't be as bad as the last letter," Suffie said.
"Yea what ever happened last..." Sirius started but noticed Lily signaling him not to bring it up. Suffie held Twink on her arm and was petting him and smiling. She put a few cornflakes on the table and he hopped off her arm to them. She opened her letter.
Suf,
Dad told me to owl you and tell you that you have to come home the week before school starts. He's having one of his moods so I'm glad your at Lily's. Mind keeping Twink with you until you come home? He keeps tapping on my window until I let him in and feed him at like 4 in the mourning and I need my beauty sleep. Wouldn't want me to look horrible in my last year at Hogwarts, now would you? See you later, take care shorty.
Love your sweet, caring, loving, excellent, and perfect in every way possible brother.
At the bottom it was signed Thatz, her brothers name.
"Who was it from?" Lily asked.
"Just Thatz, I have to go home a week before we go to Hogwarts," Suffie said.
"That's when we're leaving too," James said.
"Who's Thatz?" Remus asked concerned.
"Chill Remy, Thatz is my brother," Suffie said and giggled. "He's the one in 7th year. My other brother who already graduated is Orion," She explained.
"So when is Lindsey coming Sirius?" Lily asked.
"I don't know sometime later today..." Sirius answered.
"Do you perhaps have a crush on this girl, Padfoot?" Remus asked laughing.
"Of course not," Sirius said folding his arms and leaning back in his chair.
"Good, because your face is breaking out..." Remus said.
"What!" Sirius yelled worriedly. He ran to the bathroom. Everyone was laughing.
"Liars!" Sirius yelled and shut the bathroom door so he could fix his hair.
"Nice one Moony," James said.
"What is with all your nicknames?" Suffie asked, "Moony, Padfoot, and...um..."
"Prongs," Lily said "What do they mean?"
"Classified, sorry," James said.
"Remyyyy, please tell me," Suffie said clinging to Remus's arm and giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Sorry," Remus said shrugging. Suffie stuck her tongue out and let go of his arm.
"Fine," She said and laughed.
"What a bunch of evil, secret keeping gits, huh Suffie," Lily joked.
"Yea, I agree, they are gits," Suffie said.
"James, I do believe they called us evil gits" Remus said
"I know you know what we have to do now, right?" James said. Remus grabbed Suffie and carried her over his shoulder out the backdoor and James did the same to Lily. Both girls were laughing and screaming. James and Remus walked to the edge of the pool.
"No, I just changed! Remmmmmyyyyyy! Don't you dare!" Suffie yelled.
"Should we James?" Remus asked.
"Remus, don't tell me your going soft on me!" James said smirking.
"James Potter, let me go!" Lily said while trying to get free. James laughed.
"Who's the best wizard in the world?" He asked.
"Me!" Lily yelled. James tickled her sides a little with his free hand and she started giggling. Her face was totally from all the blood rushing to her head. "Stop! No tickling! Fine you're the best wizard!"
"Who's the most intelligent and sexiest wizard?" He asked.
"No!" She yelled.
"Fine, in the pool you go" He said and started tickling her again.
"Okay, okay! You are, now let me go" She said laughing.
Remus laughed and walked to the edge of the pool.
"Remy don't you dare!" Suffie said laughing while trying to get loose.
"Am I a git?" He asked.
"No your not a git Remus," Suffie giggled.
"What am I then?" He asked and laughed.
"Evil!" She yelled. Remus walked closer to the pool edge.
"Just joking! Your um... perfect, cool, and handsome, and cute..." Suffie said. Remus put her down.
"Why thank you," He said and smiled.
"What do you think about me?" Suffie asked stepping closer to him and smirking.
"Beautiful" He answered and wrapped his arms around her waist as they began to kiss. They only stopped for a moment when Remus asked if she'd be his girlfriend, which she of course said yes to.
James and Lily walked behind Remus and Suffie, who were on the edge of the pool kissing, quietly. They signaled a 1,2,3 count down together and on three they both screamed. Suffie screamed and Remus lost his balance and they both toppled into the pool. James and Lily were too busy laughing to see Sirius come up behind them. He waited a moment and then shoved both Lily and James who lost their balance and both fell into the pool also. Sirius looked at them all and then shrugged and jumped into the pool also. Everyone was still in their clothing and were now splashing each other while laughing.
"Um...excuse me," Someone said softly. Everyone stopped and looked at the direction of the voice. There was a girl at the edge of pool. "I uh, knocked but no one answered and I heard people back here so I just came, I hope you don't mind," She said smiling. Sirius lifted himself out of the pool, his clothing dripping with water.
"You guys, this is Lindsey," Sirius said. "Lindsey that is James, Remus, Lily, and Suffie," He said pointing everyone out as he said their names.
" Hello, do you guys always swim around in the pool with your clothing on?" Lindsey asked laughing.
"Not usually, care to join us?" Lily asked laughing also.
"That's okay, I'll pass this time." Lindsey answered. Everyone climbed out of the pool and went into the house to change while Lindsey waited on the couch in the living room. A few minutes later they all returned.
"So whose house is this?" Lindsey asked.
"Lily's, we're all staying here while James and Lily's parents are away" Remus said.
"So, I hear you going to go to Hogwarts?" Suffie said. As she sat next to Remus who put his arm around her.
"Yea, we moved here from France. I use to go to Beauxbotoms, but I was born here and lived here in England till I was 10" Lindsey explained.
"Well I hope you like it at Hogwarts, and I hope you make Gryffindor!" Lily said.
"Gryffindor? Oh, yes the houses. I don't know if I'll get into Gryffindor, I hope I do though. Are you all Gryffindor?" She asked.
"Yep! " Sirius said "I'm sure you'll make Gryffindor," Sirius said while smiling. Lindsey looked at him and smiled back.
