A/N: Um, o.k., so I could SWEAR I wrote another chapter for this and published it…but I guess I never finished, and then we got a new computer and everything we had saved was gone forever. I'm sorry! Really truly completely 100 SORRY!! Don't kill me! At least I updated now, though, right?? Heh…heh…heh. Here you go…

Meant To Be

Chapter 19

"They're finally over! Praise the lord hallelujah!" Jessi knelt down and kissed the ground.

Sabrine, Lily, and Danica looked at her incredulously.

"Are you quite all right, Jessi?" Sabrine asked slowly.

"I'm great! Super. Tip-top, cheerio!" Jessi stood and skipped around in a circle. "Exams are finally over, my mum got custody of me and James, and mum said you could all come to our house for as long as you want over summer break!"

"Your mum got custody?" Lily asked, "That's great, I guess, but why are you so happy about not seeing your dad anymore?"

Jessi stopped mid-skip. "Um. I'd rather not talk about it, actually."

"Exams are over, over, over, YEAH! Over, over, over, YEAH!"

The four girls turned around. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were all headed towards them. James and Sirius were hopping around in a sort of tribal dance, chanting, very much like Jessi had been earlier. Jessi laughed and linked arms with the two of them, and they continued the chant.

"Exams are over, over, over, YEAH! Over, over, over, YEAH!"

"So what's up?" Remus asked.

"Nothing much, Jessi's just been telling us that their mum got custody." Lily replied.

"Yeah, James was really happy when he got his mum's letter last night," Remus said, glancing over at the strange tribal dance.

"Over, over, over."

"So are you guys going to the Potter's over summer?" Peter asked.

Danica nodded. "Jessi invited us this morning."

"Over, over, over."

"What about you, Sabrine?"

Sabrine nodded and looked down. A faint flush began to creep up her face.

"Over, over, over."

"Well, I gotta go. Today's the last day to return library books. See you around." Remus waved at the girls and walked off, Peter following close behind. When he was well out of sight, Danica turned to Sabrine.

"You like him!" she whisper-yelled.

"Over, Over, Over."

"I do not! I mean, yeah. NO! I don't…know," Sabrine blushed again.

"Over, Over, Over!"

"You so do! Oh my gosh, Sabrine, this is so cool! You have your first crush! You two would look so cute together!" Lily squealed.

"Just don't tell him…please?"

"Over, Over, Ov-Don't tell who what?"

Jessi turned to look at her friends, her eyes wide. "Tell who what?"

"NOTHING!" Sabrine yelled quickly. James and Sirius stopped chanting to look at the girls.

"Nothing, we just, um, have to go do girl stuff!" Lily cried, dragging her three friends behind her.

"Girls are weird." Sirius stated. James nodded.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"You like REMUS?"

"Yes, Jessi, now please stop yelling!" Sabrine pleaded. "I don't want the whole castle to find out!"

"O.K., sorry. It's just…wow. YOU like REMUS."

"Alright, change of subject, please?" Sabrine said, burying her face in her pillow.

"Fine. So Jessi, are your brothers friends planning any cool pranks for tomorrow?"

OoOoOoOoOoO

"And I'd just like to take a moment to say goodbye to our Seventh Years. Hopefully you will all find your place in the world and make a difference."

The students clapped politely as Dumbledore finished his speech. It was the last day of school, finally, and everybody was waiting very impatiently for the announcement of who had one the House Cup.

"And judging from the looks on your faces, I'm guessing you're all getting highly impatient with me. So, here it is."

Every student in the Great Hall was silently waiting, crossing their fingers and staring at Dumbledore.

"In fourth place, with three hundred ninety-five points-Hufflepuff!"

Everybody clapped politely, and the Hufflepuff table looked depressed.

"In third place, with four hundred points-Ravenclaw!"

More polite clapping.

"In second place, with four hundred twenty-five points-Slytherin!"

Cheers from the Slytherin table. The Gryffindors turned to grin at one another.

"And in first place, with an astonishing four hundred and ninety-five points-Gryffindor!"

The entire Great Hall erupted into cheers, all the Gryffindors hugging each other and throwing their hats in the air. While still cheering, everybody looked around for signs of James Potter and Sirius Black. When they were nowhere to be found, people began searching for Peter and Remus. But they were gone, too. What was going on?

POP.

Thousands of Gryffindor banners unfurled from the ceiling, tables, walls, and even some of the Professors hats. Confetti drifted down heavily from above, and fireworks exploded in red and gold. When all had settled down, one lone firework stood suspended in the air:

Happy Summer!

From the Marauders:

James Potter

Sirius Black

Remus Lupin

Peter Pettigrew

Jessi laughed and pointed to the entrance way. The four 'Marauders' stood by the door, high-fiving each other.

Professor McGonagall stood to tell them off, but Dumbledore shook his head, and she sat back down. As the four made their way to the Gryffindor table, everybody clapped and cheered for the four young boys.

OoOoOoOoO

"Promise you'll write?" Lily asked her friends.

"Totally!"

"Duh!"

"Every day!"

"Promise you'll visit?" Jessi asked.

Her three friends nodded violently.

"Of course we will!"

The four friends hugged one more time and took off to find their parents.

OoOoOoOoO

"You guys will come over this summer, right?" James asked his friends.

"Yup."

"M-hm."

"Maybe."

"Maybe?" James asked. "Why?"

"Well I doubt my mom will want me to, what with my condition and all…"

James waved it off. "Just come right after the full moon and leave right before!"

Remus grinned. "I guess I can talk her into that…"

A/N: Sorry it's kinda short, but I have to go somewhere in five minutes, and I REALLY wanted to update this. Please review, and read the author's note in the previous chapter. I'm now debating actually finishing this. Like Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, AND seventh year. But I'm not sure. Reviews, please!
