A/N: I'm back with another haunting update! (well this one isn't really haunting, but my updates will be… soon) I"M SOOOOO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SOONER!!! explaination at the bottom!

Chapter 2: I don't need sunscreen!

The three Marauders and Lily, went to the carriages after breakfast finding Dumbledore and… A muggle car.

"Um, Dumbledore? What is that?" asked Sirius.

"Oh it's a muggle car."

"Why do we need a muggle car?" asked Remus

"To take us to the stores."

"Can't we just use the carriages?" asked James

"No, the muggles will see them!"

"What??" asked everyone at once. Including the kids from the other houses who just showed up.

"We are wasting a lot of time just get in. Just don't take the seat with the wheel, that's mine."

"Um, professor," said Lily "The car only seats 6, there are 17 of us."

"Hmm… Indeed Miss Evans, but there is room in that little compartment in the back and on top of the car isn't there?"

"You don't mean!" Lily was in utter shock. So the seating arrangements went like this.

Dumbledore had the drivers seat. Narcissa rode in the middle in the front. With Remus in the passenger seat with a Ravenclaw on his lap. In the back, there was James behind Dumbledore with Lily on his lap. And Regulus was in the middle and on his lap was a Hufflepuff and next to him was a Hufflepuff on another Hufflepuffs lap, while a Ravenclaw was sitting on the floor with a Hufflepuff and a Ravenclaw, one on the hump thing and one at James and Lily's feet. Another Ravenclaw was lying on top of the three on the floor. In the trunk there was room for two people: Sirius and Bellatrix, which did not turn out pretty. And Snape was tied to the roof. It was very crowded and no one could move save for the ones in the front seats.

In the trunk:

"MOVE IT SIRIUS!"

"I CAN'T BELLA!"

"YOU SURE CAN!"

"I WOULD, BUT THERE IS NO ROOM TO BECAUSE OF YOUR BIG BUTT!"

"BLACK!!!!!!! I HOPE I KILL YOU!!!!!" (A/N: The fic is paused for a moment of silence to remember a terrible memory of that horrific night in Harry's fifth year, the day… #sob!# That Bella killed Sirius….#wails in tears#… Ok moment over, continuing on…)

On the roof:

"SOMEBODY IS GETTING ME DOWN FROM HERE!!!!!!!!!"

In the Car:

"Dumbledore, do you know how to drive this?" asked Lily nervously,

"Oh it is very simple you just put the key in, release this thing, put the gear on this push this thing, and off we go!" The car went backwards. Right into the Whomping Willow. That was not good.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Could be heard from out side the car. The willow was swinging its branches wildly.

"Drive, Dumbledore Drive!" Yelled James. Dumbledore quickly tried to drive away, thankfully after some struggling with success. Dumbledore stopped the car and those who could get out did.

"Are you ok Mr. Snape?" Dumbledore asked

"What does it look like?"

"Maybe I should drive," Lily offered, "I have a Muggle license too." The others agreed that Lily should drive.

"Well where will Dumbledore sit?" asked Lily, they looked at James,

"He's not sitting in my lap." Said James "No offence Dumbledore."

"Maybe we can strap him to the roof." Said Snape quite annoyed. Dumbledore shot Snape a look. "Er… Um… Never mind…" Severus added sulking. So it happened that Lily was Driving and Remus and Dumbledore switched places and Remus was to sit in James' lap.

James, Snape, Sirius, Bella, and everyone else except for Dumbledore and Lily were very upset with the seating arrangements.

After a long drive, they were almost at their destination, but sadly a muggle cop saw Snape on the roof and pulled them over.

"Excuse me ma'am," the officer said to Lily "But why are you driving with someone tied to your roof? It's against the law you know."

"It is? I didn't know." Said Lily trying to think of an excuse.

"I'll have to see your license." Lily dug into her pocket and gave it to the officer.

"You see officer, we are…a very, very poor, - large family and we could only afford this car – and only one of them, and well we are going to an important…. Meeting and we all had to go, and we can't afford a bus, and well…. Bottom line we are very needy… Right family?"

"Yes,"

"Indeed,"

"Very poor!"

"Destitute!"

"We live in a shack!" The cop sighed.

"Fine, I'll let you go this time, but if I see you guys out and about again and you're not going to charity to get money for a bigger car- or even better you already bought a bigger car, I'll have to give you a ticket – and maybe arrest you." Said the cop handing the license back to Lily.

"We understand officer, good day." Said Lily driving off.

"That was close," said Regulus

"Yeah, I'm not worried to much any more," said Lily, "I'm just worried about the trip back home!"

After a couple more minutes they arrived at the store. They all filed out. Severus looked like a mess, and so did Sirius and Bella.

"Well, we're here" said Lily looking at the big store in front of them. They all walked in. Everyone – except for Lily and Dumbledore nearly fainted. It was crowded with Muggles!!

"No, I can't shop here!" cried Bella fully disgusted with all of this.

"You are, now come along" said Dumbledore leading them all to the clothes section. "Let's see… you'll be needing a lot of these things, oh yes, and these, don't forget these, and these…" Dumbledore and Lily were throwing clothes at everyone. Within a half hour everyone had a lot of clothes that fit them stuffed into a lot of shopping carts.

"These filthy clothes are disgusting!" complained Narcissa

"Live with it!" snapped Severus

"Shut up!" said Bella; A couple muggles were staring at them.

"Walk away." Narcissa whispered. The others nodded and just left with the others.

"Next…. Hygiene" said Lily, they all walked around and Lily threw some stuff into another cart, and they quickly left. They almost had all that they needed.

"I do NOT need sunscreen!" said Sirius for about the 50th time. They had come upon a problem. Sirius did not think he'd need sunscreen for this trip.

"Sirius, it's Mexico, it is very hot there." Lily explained.

"Don't be stupid," said Remus trying to reason with his friend.

"It's October! It's supposed to be cold!"

"But there is a time change!"

"A big one!"

"I don't need it!"

"Come on Sirius."

"I'll be fine, trust me!"

"What ever," said Bella, "Let's just go."

"Umm… guys…" started Sirius, "didn't we have 17 carts??" The others counted their belongings: one cart was missing.

"That was MY CART!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Bella, "What did you do to it Black!" Bella grabbed Sirius by the collar of his shirt

"Nothing! I was just taking role call of everything and.."

"SOMEONE STOLE IT!! You are getting it back and that's final!" Bella released Sirius but then they found a small group of muggles staring at them again.

"Let's get that cart." Said James quietly, the others nodded and dashed – again.

They started running randomly around the store, dodging muggles here and there looking like maniacs. Soon Narcissa caught the sight of Bella's cart and a hobo running to get out of the store.

"Bella, look!" Bella followed Narcissa's pointing finger. She saw it.

"MUGGLE!!! GIVE ME BACK MY CART OR YOU WILL DIE!!!!" The hobo started running faster, but was slightly confused, was muggle a new insult or what?

"Bella!" said Regulus catching up to Bella "The muggles see us, stop giving us away!"

"Sorry, but that cart is mine and that muggle will pay!" Regulus stopped running and groaned in exasperation. No one likes a cousin like that! He began to wonder if she forced Rodolphus Lestrange to go out with her…

Within ten minutes it was a mess but Bella single handedly got her cart back. The hobo just gave up, that lady was sure crazy, he went to go snitch someone else's cart. Finally the others showed up at the scene.

"Can we go now?" asked a Ravenclaw. They all walked to the check out line, and Sirius was up first

"That'll be … (insert really expensive English price here)"

"Ok umm.. Hold on.." Sirius looked in his pockets he only had wizard money. He looked at Dumbledore; he motioned to Sirius' back pocket. Sirius raised an eyebrow and dug deeper and he found a plastic card. He shrugged and gave it to the clerk. Who slid it across a thingy and gave it back.

"You gave it back?" asked Sirius in wonder. The clerk looked at Sirius like he was an idiot. "I mean um… Of course you gave it back, that's how it works! Um… I'm gonna go now." Said Sirius taking his receipt and leaving the line area. He studied this interesting plastic card. It was very interesting, how much was it worth? He had to ask Dumbledore about this one…
