Hello again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Sierra Cassia Shallows get down here right now and stop ignoring me." My mother yelled up the stairs. I groaned, I was still tired but my mother would probably just yell at me again for the third time. I stood up and went down to the table.
"Why do I need to get up so early?" I asked grumpily. My mother rolled her eyes.
"Sierra that Diagon Alley get together and sleepover is today." She said exasperated.
"That's today!" I screeched excited.
"You forgot?" My sister asked.
"You have been talking about it all summer and know you forget." She exclaimed.
"I'm going to pack." I announced.
"Okay but hurry up you need to be there in thirty minutes." My dad warned.
"Okay." I said as I raced up the stairs. I quickly packed everything I would need and raced downstairs and had breakfast. I ate and packed very quickly but it still took thirty minutes.
"Sierra you should go now." My mother warned.
"Yes mom." I agreed then apparated to Diagon Alley in front of the quidditch store, where we decided to meet. James and Sirius were already there sitting on the bench laughing.
"Sirius James." I shrieked.
Wow if it is possible Sirius looks even better looking then the last time I saw him.
"Sierra." They both exclaimed. I ran up and hugged both of them.
"Hey." I said.
"Lily, Raela, Peter, and Remus aren't here yet?" I asked.
"No, they aren't and Peter can't come he is at a family gathering." James said.
"He isn't, I didn't know that, when did you find that out!" Sirius exclaimed.
"I owled him." James said, rolling his eyes. Just then, I heard two pop, it was Remus and Lily.
"Hey!" I shouted and hugged both of them.
"You're late." Sirius said.
"By two minutes." Remus exclaimed.
"Beside I couldn't find my wand at the last minute." Remus exclaimed.
"My sister was in our bathroom and she wouldn't get out because she had to get ready for a stupid gathering with her future in-laws." Lily said.
"Raela's not here yet?" Remus asked.
"No." I said sadly. Crack!
"Raela!" I shrieked and ran at her.
"Sierra!" She shrieked and hugged me.
"Hey Raela." Remus said
"Hi." James and Sirius said in unison. She hugged all three and then hugged Lily.
"We're all here, so what do you want to do?" I asked.
"Yeah, hey wait where Peter is?" Raela asked.
"He's not coming." James, Sirius, and I said in unison.
"Do you want to go in the Quidditch shop?" James asked.
"Okay." I said, I loved Quidditch but was horrible at playing at it.
"Sure." Raela said enthusiastically, she loved Quidditch even more than me and she was on the Gryffindor team as a chaser like James. After, we went to the Ice Cream Parlour, James got a very disgusting flavour, which he loved and everyone else hated. I got my favourite flavour, caramel. After that, we went to Flourish and Bott's to get our school books.
"Should we go to your house now, James?" Remus asked.
"Yeah. I'm starting to get hungry." Sirius said.
"You just had ice cream!" I said.
"Ice cream is more a drink then food if you ask me." Sirius said.
"True."
"So are we going now?" I asked.
"Yeah sure." James said.
"Should we apparate?"
"Yeah." I answered. "That is the best way."
"Okay one, two, three now." James said. We all apparated.
"Hi mom dad." James said, as we walked into the kitchen
"Hello." All the rest of us chorused.
"Hi, do you want lunch?" James' mother, Dorea asked.
"Yes please, Mrs. Potter, Sirius here is dying of starvation." I said.
"Aren't you always hungry, Sirius?" Mrs Potter asked her eyes twinkling. Sirius grinned.
"Maybe."
"Lunch is coming up." She sang and got to work. We set the table and then went outside and sat down.
"Lunch is ready!" Mrs. Potter said out of the window. We all clamoured up and walked or in Sirius and James' case ran to the table. We sat down and had a wonderful lunch.
"That was delicious. Mrs. Potter." I said.
"Please just call me Dorea; you have been here so many times." She said smoothly.
"Okay." I said.
"And that goes for the rest of you too." She said her eyes twinkling.
"Now what do you want to do?" Sirius asked.
"Let's play Quidditch!" Raela exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Sirius and James yelled.
"Sure I guess but I suck at Quidditch!" I exclaimed.
"That is probably just at school because you're on pressure." James said.
"That happens to a lot of people." He added.
"Do you want me to be the announcer?" Dorea asked excitedly, she loved Quidditch as much as her son did.
"Sure mom." James said. As I said.
"Sure Dorea."
"Sirius and James you can be captains you can go first James." Raela said.
I wonder whom he is going to pick.
"Lily." Knew it!
"Your turn Sirius."
"Remus."
"James."
"Sierra."
"Sirius your turn."
"Raela."
"Group huddle and make up a team name too." Raela announced. I noticed Lily look a little red when Raela said huddle. James, Lily, and I got together and started planning.
"What should our name be?" Lily asked.
"Blaze." I suggested.
"That is your Marauder nickname and were not naming the team after you; we need some name that reflects all of us!" James exclaimed.
"Fine Thunderhead." I suggested.
"Yeah." James and Lily exclaimed.
"I'll be seeker!" I said.
"I will be the keeper, since I'm not that good flying on a broomstick." Lily said.
"I will be a chaser." James said.
"Were ready." We called out.
"Okay were ready too." Raela said.
"Let us begin then." Remus said.
"Okay first what is your team name James and who is playing what position?" Dorea asked.
"Thunderhead, I am playing chaser, Lily keeper, and Sierra seeker." James said.
"And what is yours Raela?"
"Claws." Sirius said somewhat unenthusiastic. "Raela is chaser, Remus is keeper, and I'm seeker." He added. She walked into the centre of the field and threw up the Quaffle.
Moreover, Raela has the Quaffle she dodges around James comes up to the goal and shoots. Lily blocks the shot.
I saw the snitch it was hovering by the house, Sirius still was not looking in that direction so I slowly hovered towards it. I almost snatched it but it flew away.
And Sierra seems to have seen the Snitch and Raela OUCH crashes into James. James picks the Quaffle up, races up to the goal, and scores!
Ten to zero for the Thunderheads. And Raela has the Quaffle she flies up to the goal and shoots Score. 10 to 10.
Sierra is still in pursuit of the snitch. Wow, she is fast!
C'mon slow down will you just an inch longer arms and I could catch it. Suddenly it swerves in the opposite direction. I quickly spun around and chased it.
Sierra is nearing the Snitch
I was slowly nearing it. I caught it as Raela scored a goal.
And she catches it!
"Yeah Sierra!" James yelled.
And the Thunderheads win!
"Good job, Sierra!" Lily screamed. They all jumped off their broomsticks.
"Good job Sierra even if you weren't on my team." Raela exclaimed.
"Maybe you should try out for seeker this year, since that Dean boy left." James suggested.
"Maybe but I doubt I will get in." I said.
"That was good commentating Dorea." I said, she flushed.
"I had practice dear, I was the commentator for some Quidditch matches, back when I was in Hogwarts." She said.
"You were you never told me that." James exclaimed.
"You never asked." She retorted mockingly.
"What do y'all wanna do now?" Sirius said as we sat in the Den, going back to the priceless times he talked in a western accent.
"Oh brother." Raela and I said in unison.
"I'm not ya brother, I'm yer friend." He said. I rolled my eyes.
"Do you want to play Fiendfyre?" Raela asked.
"How do you play?" Remus asked.
"Well first you need to spin your wand and see who's turn it is then someone else says three people of your opposite gender then you need to pick out of the three which one you want to save from the fire then marry, and another one who you want to save and the other who you want to leave in the fire." Raela explained.
"Um okay but remember don't take offense if they leave you in the fire because it is just a game." I stated.
"A new rule out of the three people you say one of them can't be you, and at least one of the people can't be here right now." Raela added.
"Sure." James and Lily said Lily more slowly , James smiled at her, and she blushed the same colour as her hair. Not a good combo!
"Okay." Sirius said, a little on edge.
"Sierra do you want to spin your wand to see who the victim is and then ask them?" Raela said grinning. I took out my wand and spun it, it landed on Remus.
"Okay.. the three girls are Raela, Lily and Rose." I said grinning, Remus turned pale and looked down.
"Raela marry, Lily save and Rose fire." He said quickly not looking at anyone.
"Your turn to spin." Raela said, bright red but smiling like crazy. She spun it and it landed on Lily. Lily turned bright red then to pale in one quick second.
"James, Sirius, or Peter." Remus said quietly, Lily again turned bright red.
"Umm…umm J-James marry, Sirius save and Peter fire." She said, the same colour as her hair. James smiled at her and if possible, she turned even redder.
She spun her wand and it landed on Sirius, she grinned wickedly and said.
"Sierra, Raela, or Jane, your old girl friend." She said grinning, Sirius also tinged a little red. But said confidently.
"Sierra I would like to marry, Jane save, and Raela in the fire, that is for turning my hair green last week." I tinged red. He spun his wand and it landed on Raela.
"Lucius Malfoy, Peter, or James." He said, Raela's face turned furious, she scowled and said.
"Marry James, Save Peter and into the fire for Lucius Malfoy and Sirius Black." She said.
"I wasn't one of the choices, Raela." Sirius said taunting, she stuck her tongue out. Raela took out her wand, Sirius flinched but she just spun it around and it landed on me.
Oh no!
"Sirius, Malfoy, or Snape." She said, I raised my eyebrows.
"Snape." I started saying trying to see what the others reactions would be. Raela rolled her eyes, Lily still looked red, James had his eyebrow raised, Remus was looking a little shocked and Sirius he had the most comical look on his face, jealousy, shock and amusement all in one.
He actually thought I was going that I liked Snape more then him, well I did play a prank on him and James last week but come on .
"Snape save, Sirius marry and Malfoy fire." I finished quickly.
"P-P-padfoots fa-ce." I said in between laughing spells, Raela looked at Sirius who still had the expression on his face and she burst out laughing. Eventually I quieted down, no such luck with Raela she still had some giggle spells and a little red in the face.
"Lets stop this is getting boring." James said.
"You just want to quit so you don't have to do it." Sirius teased.
"I am serious." James said. "This is getting boring." He added.
"My name is Sirius though." Sirius retorted.
"What?" James asked, I rolled my eyes he could be so ignorant sometimes.
"Never mind." Remus said quickly hearing the joke way too much.
"Should we deal with the sleeping arrangements.?" Lily asked.
"Sure." I said. We went to the top floor.
"Do you girls mind sleeping in the guest room?" He asked.
"No." Lily and I said in unison and Raela nodded.
"The guest bedroom is right there." James pointed two doors down the left.
The room was beautiful, the bed looked comfortable. We were fighting for about half an hour on who should get the bed. The boys came in, obviously hearing us.
"Who do you think should get the bed?" I asked them.
"Lily." They said
What! James, Sirius and Remus are soo going to get it! I glanced sideways at Raela, she nodded we both sprinted towards them.
"You are so getting to get it." I screamed. Sirius and James went left and Remus went right. I sprinted after Sirius and James, while Raela ran after Remus. I was hopelessly sprinting after the two fastest boys of the marauders, the only advantage I had was they had to keep looking back. Still I finally lost track of them. Just then, I heard whispering from the closet I was beside.
"Do you think we lost her?" I heard James say.
"I think so." Sirius whispered back. I slowly opened the door. I heard Sirius whisper.
"Is it just me or is the door opening." I flung the door open and yelled.
"Found you!" James yelped and both of them jumped backwards and collided with the back wall. They both looked at me, I knew what was going to happen.
Oh no! They leaped at me as I sprinted towards what I thought was the stairs. It was instead, the living room. I hid behind the couch, just as I thought that I had lost them they jumped out of either side. I screamed as James leaped on top of me.
"I got her Sirius." He said as they started to tickle me. I was very ticklish and they knew it, sometimes I hated those guys.
"S-s-st-o-o-pp." I said in between giggling fits, I was starting to have hard time breathing. They, eventually stopped and we went upstairs. Lily, Remus, and Raela were sitting in the room, talking about something.
"Sirius….James…..Sierra." I could hear as we walked up.
"Hello!" Sirius said cheerfully and suspicious.
"Why did you say our names?" I asked.
"Just wondering if you got them." Remus said, with a grin.
"Yeah but they got me back." I said sulkily mocking, James grinned.
"So is it dinnertime?" Sirius asked. "I am getting hungry." He added.
"You're always hungry, Sirius." I laughed as we went out of the room.
