July, 1976

Sirius and James had told Raina to come to James' house to see something.

We have to show you something.

Nothing good could come out of that sentence.

Dreading what she would find, she Flooed over to the Potters'.

Mrs. Potter told her that the boys were out in the shed. She was smiling.

If Mrs. Potter knows what it is…

It couldn't be that bad, could it?

Raina took a deep breath and entered the shed to find James and Sirius working on a huge motorbike.

"Hey, Moony", James said, smiling widely.

Sirius appeared from behind the vehicle.

"Well?", he said, looking at it proudly.

"How did you get that?"

"James' parents", Sirius replied.

"What are you doing with it?"

"Trying to make it fly", James said casually, as if it were the obvious answer.

"Are you -", Raina paused. "Bloody mad you both are."

"Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?"

Sirius and James, realizing that Raina was getting angrier by the second, stepped back.

"It's only dangerous if you don't know how to use it", Sirius shrugged.

"Do Mr. and Mrs. Potter know about this?", Raina asked, trying to calm herself down.

The two boys looked sheepish.

"...No, and, er, could you not tell them?", James asked.

When Raina opened her mouth, Sirius came over to her and put an arm around her.

"Come on, Moony...for me?"

Raina rolled her eyes.

"Fine."
