Chapter Seven: A Day at the Carnival!

Disclaimer: Does J.K. Rowling have an obsession with cookies and mashed potatoes… didn't think so.

It was now about 11:30 now and faint whispering was heard by Kat.

"Aw, aren't they so cute together?" Alice whispered.

"I know! They make the perfect couple," Lily chimed. Kat smiled knowing how true this statement was. She opened her eyes and saw all of her friends crowded around them.

"What the hell!" Kat screamed making Remus wake up. The girls all giggled.

"Well the two of you are normally the last ones asleep and the first ones to wake up so we were surprised to see you two out of everyone to still be sleeping," Sirius pointed out.

"We woke up at about five, but eventually fell back to sleep," Remus explained hugging his girlfriend tightly which made all of the girls smile. He then sat up pulling Kat onto his lap so their friends could sit too. Lily and James both sat down on the couch with Kat and Remus until the girls decided to go get changed.

"Be right back babe," Rori said kissing Derek then running up the steps to Kat's old bedroom.

"I think we should take the girls somewhere," Sirius randomly stated.

"Random much?" James choked.

"Very, but a very good idea Padfoot," Remus answered.

"Thank you Moony," Sirius thanked.

"But where?" Derek asked turning to look at Frank. The others all turned to look at Frank also, after all he did know the girls more then any of them did.

"What the bloody hell, Cooper, why did you look at me… now everyone is!" Frank screamed.

"You know them better!" Sirius answered just as agitated.

"Oh… right…" he responded, "How about the carnival. I thought I saw one when we were on our way to the club."

"The WHAT?!?" the other guys asked clueless.

"Wow, you guys have never been to a carnival?" Frank laughed.

"Must we remind you that we are all from wizarding families?!?" James exclaimed.

"So am I!" Frank responded annoyed.

"Yes but your best friends are all muggleborns," Derek said.

"Except Rori… she a half blood," Remus added.

"And Alex, she's a pureblood," Sirius added also.

"Alice is a pureblood too, only, ever since her parents died when she was four she has lived with her Aunt and Uncle, her Aunt is a witch but her Uncle is a muggle and refuses and despises all things magical. Back to the carnival, okay well pretty much there are rides and games. It's a lot of fun!" Frank explained. "The girls LOVE going to carnivals."

"Okay," they all agreed in just in time for the girls to come running down the stairs dressed for the day ahead. Rori came down wearing a jean mini-skirt with a tight brown short sleeve shirt that said aeropostale. She also wore cute brown boots that go up to about four inches below her knees. Her make up and hair were done as well. Then Lily came down wearing an emerald green spaghetti strap shirt and jean short shorts. She wore matching green flip flops and her hair and make up were done as well. Then Kat came down wearing a v-neck strapless red top that had a small dark blue moose in the top right hand corner (which means it's from Abercrombie) and a dark jean mini skirt (both her and Rori's skirts and Lily's shorts were REALLY short) and cute red flip flops that matched. Her hair and makeup was also done and her shirt and flip flops matched her red highlights. Then Kris came down wearing a lilac colored spaghetti strap, v-neck top and jean short shorts and lilac colored flats. Her hair and make up was done as well. Then Alex came down wearing cute jean Capris and a white short sleeve shirt that said Hollister in blue. She wore white sneakers and her hair and makeup was done. Finally, Alice came wearing a yellow short sleeve shirt that said Abercrombie with jean short shorts. She wore matching yellow flip flops and her hair and make up was done.

The guys all looked at the girls with their mouths open and in complete shock. They all looked amazing! The girls all walked up the their boyfriend's shut their mouth and then kissed them quickly and smiled. Derek started tickling Rori, Frank started tickling Alice, James and Lily just started kissing, as did Kris and Sirius, and Remus grabbed Kat around the waist and pulled her onto his lap.

"So what are we going to do today?" Kat asked casually. The guys all smirked.

"Now that's a surprise," Sirius answered.

"Oo! Tell me please!" Lily said impatiently.

"Nope," replied James tapping Lily's nose gently. Lily looked really pissed off and walked away from James. Suddenly everything went dark for the girls and someone grabbed their hands and pulled them away. The girls believed it was the guys and followed them, thinking that they were going to their surprise. And they were right! They heard screaming and laughing and then light flooded their eyes once more, they were at the carnival!

"Oh my god. Frank I love you!" Kris screamed.

"Hey, what about me?" Sirius pouted.

"Well, it was obviously Frank's idea," Kat pointed out. No one contradicted her.

"Wow, I've never been to a carnival before," James stated.

"WHAT!" the girls all screamed.

"Never?" Lily asked him surprised.

"Nope never," he answered truthfully.

"Wow…" the girls sympathized him. Then seeing a roller coaster off in the distance, Kat grabbed Remus's hand and started dragging him after her as she started to run. He caught on to what was happening and started to run alongside her still holding her hand. They laughed when Kat suddenly tripped and pulled Remus down with her. Kris and Rori came running over to help Kat up and Derek and Sirius to help Remus. Then once everyone was off of the ground, they all skipped over to the roller coaster. It was called Nitro and was yellow and blue. It had one really big drop and it didn't go upside down. Everyone got in line together but they all got split up. Kat, Remus, Rori and Derek all sat in the front seat, Kris and Sirius sat in the row behind them. They were the only people on the roller coaster because everyone was eating right now at the carnival instead of on the roller coasters. None of the guys had ever been on a roller coaster before besides Frank (who wasn't even on it right now) so the girls laughed at their reaction as it started moving. On the way up everyone was calm except for Sirius who was flipping out.

"I WANNA GET OFF!!" Sirius cried.

"Padfoot calm down, it's only a muggle ride," Derek laughed. Sirius took out his wand and started slamming it on the safety bar. Suddenly it snapped in half and Sirius looked absolutely mortified.

"Babe… we kind of need to go shopping," he explained holding the snapped in half wand in front of his face.

"Yay! New shoes!" exclaimed Kris clapping her hands.

"No, new wand," he answered. She glared at him and he suddenly jerked, "And new shoes!" He looked scared out of his mind.

"Wpshh!" Kat said flicking her wrist like a whip.

"I am NOT whipped!" he denied.

"Yes you are," Kris said through gritted teeth glaring at him evilly.

"Yes ma'am!" Sirius answered her.

"Haha!," laughed Kat and Rori. Kris turned bright red with anger.

"Shut the fuck up," Kris muttered.

"I REALLY wanna get… AHHHHHH!" Sirius screamed as the roller coaster suddenly dipped straight down. Kat and Rori quickly went back to back and did a piece sign. Then light flashed and guys realized that they just had their picture taken. There were more drops and turns. Derek grabbed Rori hand so they sat there for the rest of the ride holding hands. The ride stopped.

"Finally it's ov- AHH!" Sirius was caught off guard by the break check. Everyone laughed at him, wailing and screaming like a two year old who was told he wasn't allowed to have a lollypop.

There were a few more small dips but then the train came to a halt for real this time. Sirius was relieved and everyone was disappointed. After taking off their safety bars they jumped off the ride and proceeded down the stairs in order to go and see their pictures. Kat grabbed Remus's hand and started running ahead again. Only this time Remus made sure she didn't fall. They got to the picture stand and the pictures were so funny. The one of Kat, Rori, Remus, and Derek was so cool! Kat and Rori were posing in the middle and Remus and Derek were on the sides with their arms in the air and huge smiles on their faces. Kat, Kris and Rori decided to buy one. Kat bought two pictures; one for her and Remus, Kris bought two pictures, one for her and one for Sirius, and Rori bought two pictures, one for her and Derek. Then, they looked at the other picture and started laughing so hard. Sirius had his mouth wide open his arms clutching the safety bar for dear life and it looked like he was crying. Kris who was sitting next to him made her fingers in the shape of a gun and pointed it at her head. The picture was so funny that Kat, Rori, and Kris bought two each. Each one bought one picture for themselves and one picture for their boyfriend.

All of the couples were holding hands as they all went off to find another ride to go on. The next ride they found was the tea cups.

"What the hell is the purpose of that ride?" Sirius asked. The girls looked amazed at his reaction.

"You've never been on the tea cups?" Kat asked. All of the guys shook their heads.

"Wow… I feel so bad for you guys… you must have had horrible childhoods I mean, what did you do for fun?" Rori said. The person who was running the ride let them all in. They all got into one tea cup and it happened to be red.

"Sit back and let the girls show you how it's done," Kris boasted. A loud beep was heard and then the three girls started spinning the plate in the middle as fast as they could and suddenly they were being whipped around at an unimaginable speed. They were spinning so fast the guys thought the tea cup was going to pop off of its axis.

"Slow down! You girls are going to break the ride!" Remus laughed.

"Plus I don't feel so good!" Sirius called getting dizzy. This only made the girls spin even faster. Suddenly they saw the plate stop spinning and the girls looked disappointed.

"It's over?" Derek asked.

"It's over," Rori answered.

"That was fun," the guys all smiled.

"No duh!" the girls answered laughing. The guys all rolled their eyes and suddenly Rori's stomach started growling.

"Stomach says it wants food!" Rori shouted. Kat laughed.

"Okay babe, lunch is on me," Kat answered.

"Yes! Free food!" the other girls called. Kat rolled her eyes and then grabbed Remus's arm. He put his arm around her waist and she leaned her head against his shoulder and they walked like that. Kris yawned so Sirius scooped Kris up and she screamed. He put her down and then she hopped onto his back and he carried her around. Rori and Derek were holding hands and laughing at how foolish Kris and Sirius looked running around the carnival. They found a food stall and Kat stepped up and asked everyone what they wanted. Kat stepped up to the window and told the girl what everyone wanted.

"Five fries, two salads, one hamburger, one onion rings, two spaghettis," Kat ordered.

"And what would you like to drink?" the lady asked.

"One Sprite, one diet Coke, and one diet Pepsi," Kat said.

"Please go to the next window," the lady said. They all walked over to the next window and there stood someone with two trays of food. Kat paid and then the guys carried the food to the first empty table they found that was big enough for the six of them. Derek passed out everyone's food. Kris had spaghetti and the onion rings, Sirius had the hamburger and two fries, Rori had a salad and a fry, Derek had the same and Kat and Remus had the other spaghetti and fries. Kris and Sirius had the diet Pepsi, Kat and Remus had the diet Coke, and Rori and Derek had the Sprite. They all sat their eating and talking.

"So how do you guys like the carnival?" Kat asked as Remus fed her a French fry.

"It's awesome!" Sirius exclaimed.

"I'm having a great time, love," Remus said.

"I love the carnival, it's just the perfect place to have fun and truly be a kid, you know?" Kris said.

"Yeah, I noticed," Derek said taking a deep breathe. He looked at Rori who looked deep in thought. "Rori, you alright babe, you seem kind of, out of it."

"Yeah, Rori are you okay?" Kris asked worriedly.

Rori still looked dazed but spoke anyway ignoring her friends and boyfriend, "Remus, did you ever notice that your name backwards in summer… only its missing an M?" Everyone laughed except for Kat who just smiled.

"Oh my god! I never noticed that!" Kat exclaimed.

"Random much?" Sirius asked taking a huge bite of his hamburger.

"Pretty much," Kris stated.

"Story of her life… literally," Kat laughed.

"Derek?" Rori asked turning to her boyfriend.

"Yeah babe?" He asked.

"Do you recycle?" Rori randomly questioned. Kat and Kris started laughing but Derek didn't answer.

"I said… DO YOU RECYCLE?!?" Rori practically screamed.

"Yes! Why?" He asked looking petrified.

"Dude, you look petrified!" Sirius laughed.

"ARE YOU PETRIFIED OF BEING PETRIFIED?!?" Kat and Rori sang making everyone look at them funny. A five year old who was waking by stopped and just looked at Rori. She turned in her chair and looked straight at him making a face that made her look like a fish.

"Are YOU petrified?" she asked him. The kid just stood there looking scared shitless.

"Mommy!" the little boy cried.

"Apparently," Remus said making everyone laugh. Rori went to take another sip of her soda and Kat quickly pulled it away and Rori looked like she was going to cry.

"Give me my soda!" Rori whined.

"No, you're too hyper, and if you want me to get you ice cream later then no more soda for you, okay?" Kat asked in a motherly way.

"ICE CREAM!" Rori screamed nodding her head vigorously. Everyone finished their food and stood up. The guys grabbed their garbage and their girlfriend's garbage and threw it all out for them. (A/N- aww how sweet!)

"Let's go play some games," Kris suggested.

"GAMES! I LIKE GAMES!" Sirius screamed.

"Oh my god you and Rori should so be a couple!" Kat declared. Sirius and Rori blushed furiously as to where Kris and Derek glared maniacally at Kat.

"I mean…uh," Kat stammered nervously. Kris and Derek looked at each other, and nodded.

"Run," Kris said.

"Wait! You didn't even let me explain why!" Kat pouted.

"Fine, why?" Kris asked rolling her eyes.

"First of all they are the two randomest people I know," Kat explained holding up one finger, to that reason everyone nodded in agreement, "And secondly, both of their last names are colors!" Everyone laughed at the second reason. "What?!? It's true Rori RED and Sirius BLACK!"

"Wow, I never realized that…" Rori stated.

"Me neither…" answer Sirius. They looked at each other and then Sirius screamed, "Rori my dear, will you marry me?!?"

"I would, but my best friend looks like she's going to kick my ass…" Rori responded dramatically. And what she said was true, Kris was really red and her hands were in fists. Derek was laughing his ass off and Kat and Remus decided to just start walking away.

"Wait, Kat, Remus… TAKE ME WITH YOU!" Sirius yelled running after them. All the others turned to see them walking away and joined them. The friends were just walking along and laughing at absolutely nothing until they got to the games.

"I'll pay for one game for each of the guys, but if you want to play another one then you have to ask your girlfriends who ALSO HAVE MONEY!" Kat said when everyone looked at her for money.

"What you're not gonna pay for us?" Rori asked pouting.

"No, use your own money," Kat hissed.

"But WHY?!?" Kris begged.

"I paid for lunch therefore you should be thankful! But noooo you're gonna try to pester me into giving out more money! Just because I" Kat started but stopped herself. The girls laughed.

"What was that?" Rori said smirking.

"NOTHING SHUT UP OR I'LL SPILL YOUR DEEPEST DARKEST SECRET RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!" Kat screamed angrily.

"THEN WE'LL TELL YOURS! Wait… aren't they the same things?'" Kris yelled back while winking at Rori and Kat. The girls who were just about to claw open each others' throats were now laughing so hard that they were leaning on each other to make sure that they didn't topple over.

"Are we missing something?" Remus asked as all the guys looked at each other.

"No… maybe… kind of…" Kris said through laughs.

"YES!" Kat and Rori screamed at the exact same time and then gave each other high fives.

"How do you girls do that?" Derek asked.

"Do what?!?" The three girls asked together.

"THAT!" all of the guys said and then looked at each other. The girls once again… laughed.

"That's how," Kat simply said.

"Yes, but you girls do that ALL the time!" Derek exclaimed.

"So? What's wrong with that?" they all answered in unison again.

"Ugh!" Derek screamed frustrated.

"Heehee… sorry babe," Rori said and then kissed him on the cheek.

"I wanna play THAT game!" Sirius said pointing at one of the games. Kat and Remus laughed. "What?"

"Nothing," they laughed then suddenly stopped because they didn't want to get back to the random fight.

"I wanna play to!" Derek said running over to the game with Sirius in tow.

"Me to!" Remus called following after them. The girls just laughed as the lady explained the game to them.

"So all you have to do is shoot the water into the hole?" Sirius asked looking disappointed.

"As in moves," she finished for him.

"OKAY! KAT GIVE ME MONEY!" Sirius screamed at Kat taking a seat. Derek and Remus took a seat on each side of him and Kat walked up and paid the lady. The guys all grabbed the handle of the water gun and when the buzz was heard the water started. The guys were pretty much tied and then some one's red light went off the sound of 'winner' went off as well. "Moony, you suck."

"What would you like?" the lady asked Remus, when he looked confused she continued, "Your prize."

"I don't know, Kat?" he called, she came over and he put his arm around her waist.

"Yes?" she asks smiling.

"Pick anything you like," he offered. She smiled and went on her tippy-toes and kissed him on the lips. That made him smile too.

"I want that one!" She exclaimed pointing to a big black teddy bear. The lady pulled down the teddy bear and handed it to Kat. She kissed Remus again and then examined the teddy bear. "I'm going to name him Fred… Fred this is Remus, Sirius, Derek, Kris, and Rori… and I am Kat. Everyone say hello to Fred."

"Hi Fred," everyone chorused. Kat grabbed Remus's hand and then the group continued through the board walk/games section of the carnival. They came across another game with a slanted barrel and three baseballs.

"Rori, can I play… PLEASE?!?" Begged Derek.

"Okayy," she giggled handing the lady five dollars. Derek threw the one ball at a time and made all three of them in.

"Wow…" All the girls said looking amazed.

"What?" Derek asked.

"You should play baseball!" Rori pointed out staring at him. The girls all nodded looking just as dumbfounded as she did.

"What's baseball?" the guys asked. The girls gasped.

"YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF BASEBALL?!? OH MY GOD!" the girls screamed in awe and shock. The guys still looked confused.

"It's a muggle sport," Kris explained. To this statement the guys all nodded.

"A freiken AWESOME muggle sport might I add…" Rori added.

"Sure… what ever, anyway… babe what do you want?" Derek said.

"That one!" she cried happily pointing to a yellow and orange baby cow that had big brown eyes

"What shall I name my sexy cow…ORANGE JUICE!" Rori shouted looking at her friend's for agreement about her cow's awesome name and her friends just rolled their eyes and looked away. "You don't like it?" She sounded really hurt when she said this.

"Orange juice is a great name for a cow babe, I love it," Derek said kissing her quickly on the lips. Then he looked at her and she pointed to 'orange juice's' forehead, so Derek kissed its forehead and Rori squealed with happiness.

Then Sirius started pulling on Kris's shirt and he was pointing to a game. She rolled her eyes and then walked with him over to one that the object of the game was to climb a rope ladder and it could flip you upside down and you had to make it to the top of the slanted rope without touching the ground. Kris paid for him and then he ran into the area with the rope and started climbing. He crawled up that rope like he was part squirrel and then he came back down within seconds.

"Easy!" He shouted causing people to gape at him in disbelief. Sirius ran over to Kris and pulled her over to a giant wall of stuffed animals to see which one she wanted. He whispered something in her ear and she giggled and then made her choice. It was a baby bunny in footie pajamas and bunny slippers.

"Aww," Kat and Rori chorused at the adorable bunny.

"I'll name her bunny…" Kris declared.

"Wow… so creative!" Kat teased earning laughs from everyone.

"Shut up… now everyone say hi to bunny…" Kris said, no one responded and so she got really pissed, "I said… SAY HI TO BUNNY GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!" Everyone jumped at Kris's over powering voice.

"Hi bunny?" They gave in frightened. Kris smiled and just hugged the bunny giving Sirius a kiss for winning it for her. "Thanks Siri."

"Your Welcome… and please don't call me that…" he complained.

"Why not?" She asked disappointed, "It's cute!"

"It's annoying just… please Kris," he begged.

"NO! I'll call you what ever the hell I want to call you got that?!?" Kris screamed the answer angrily. Sirius opened his mouth to answer, but a song broke up the bickering and everyone sighed, they were relieved that they didn't have to hear the entire fight.

The song was heard:

Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I'm silly
Cause I'm hanging in this tree
In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she...?
Lily, my one and only

"Heyy Lils,.. where? The dance floor… okay meet you there in five minutes!" Kat said hanging up her phone.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Sirius asked looking concerned.

"What? Oh you mean the song! Haha… it's called Lily so I set it as my ring tone whenever she calls," Kat explained with a laugh.

"Well, what did she want?" Derek asked looking at Kat.

"Oh, she wanted us to meet her at the dance floor… so follow me!" Kat giggled skipping ahead of the group. Remus ran to catch up with her and then grabbed her hand and they walked together. The other two couples in the same position were walking in tow. They kept walking until they saw a girl with fiery red hair waving at them.

"Over here!" She screamed.

Frank, Alice, Lily, James, and Alex watched as their friends walked away from them and toward the roller coaster.

"They just ditched us!" Alex said sounding pissed.

"No duh, dipshit," Frank answered her. The others laughed at his choice of words. After the laughter died out the five friends looked at each other blankly.

"What are we gonna do?" Alice asked. Although this question was simple and random it was going through all of their minds.

"I'm hungry… let's go eat!" Lily suggested.

"FOOD!" Alex and Frank screamed in unison. They looked at each other, nodded and then gave each other a high five. Lily walked leaning on James and his arm was around her waist. Frank was walking in between Alice and Alex and he had an arm around each of them.

"Alex… h-how could you do this to me?" a mock- upset voice rang.

"SEVERUS!" Alex screamed running away from Frank and into the arms of her boyfriend. They kissed and then jumped apart when coughing was heard from behind them. When they saw it was Lily they both blushed and then just held hands.

"Po-," Severus started, then Alex elbowed him in the stomach, "James."

"Sni-," James started as well until Lily copied Alex's motion on James, "Severus." The boys were holding back insults and everyone could see it, Lily and Alex looked at each other and shrugged. I mean, who cares if yours and your best friend's boyfriends hated each other, didn't matter in the least to them.

"Hey Snape," Frank greeted welcomley.

"Hey Frank," he answered.

"Hey," Alice said with a warm smile.

"Hey," he answered. Lily just smiled at her old best friend and waved, he mimicked her and then they both laughed. "So, what are you guys up to?"

"Food," James answered simply.

"I see," Snape answered.

"Indeed," James continued. The girls, Snape, and Frank started laughing (A/N my friend who Lily is based off of always says indeed and it's pretty much and indside joke, a lot of things in this story is an inside joke so that's why some things really don't make any sense) and James looked really confused. "What?!?"

"Nothing…" Lily answered still laughing. He turned his head at Snape.

"And why are YOU laughing?!?"

"No reason…" Snape answered also still laughing. James groaned in frustration.

"So am I the ONLY one here who can't read each other's minds?" He asked angrily. The others just stopped laughing looked at him sternly. It went silent for two minutes.

"Yes," Alice said when the silence became to much to handle. (How it got quiet at the carnival… I have no idea!) Then she just turned and started walking towards a building that said Striped Umbrella, the others just shrugged and followed her into the fast food restaurant. Alice took out her wallet and then turned it upside down and nothing came out, so she just pouted and then turned around and smiled at Frank. "Frank, will you pay for me… please?" She made a face that Frank just couldn't say no to so he took and hand and they walked over to the window. Severus bought Alex's food as well and she thanked him with a kiss.

"I feel horrible…" James stated.

"Why?" Lily asked still leaning on him.

"I'm a horrible boyfriend! I'm the only one whose not paying for their girlfriend! I feel like a poor jerk," James sorrowed.

"Shut up!" Lily screamed making James jump, "You're amazing and… and I love you," she admitted looking into his eyes. He looked completely surprised for a moment but then his expression changed to complete joy.

"You have no idea how long I've been dieing to hear those words come out of your mouth," he smiled hugging her. Lily started crying into his chest. "Lily, what's the matter?" He pulled her back so he could look into her tear filled eyes.

"I-it's nothing…" she tried to explain.

"No apparently it's not nothing," James scolded pulling her into a deserted hallway, "Now please Lils, tell me what's bothering you." The tears she was holding back were now pouring freely down her beautiful face.

"I've just always been afraid that you only wanted me because you liked the chase… and you'd break my heart once I finally fell for you… well it's finally happened and I'm scared to death because honestly I-I just don't know if I could take it if you did… I know that I've done it to you for years but… but James, I'm ready to admit it now, I love you and I-I just don't want to lose you!" she sobbed into his chest. He held her tightly and rocked back and forth trying to calm her down.

"Never Lily Evans, you will never lose me, even if you leave me, I promise you, I will always love you… and don't you EVER forget that!" James cried tears gathering in his eyes, but of course he didn't let them pass there. Lily looked into his eyes noticing how sincere his word were and so she just kissed him and then relaxed a bit.

"Look at us," she laughed looking in the mirror hanging from the wall. James laughed too, they were both just standing there, their eyes all red and puffy hugging. James looked down at the girl that he was finally able to hold in his arms he held her face in his hands and wiped away her tears then kissed her forehead.

"All better?" He asked grabbing her around the waist.

"For now," She answered, and with that they held hands and went to meet up with their friends in line.

"I want the Caesar salad and a giant cookie… and he wants the same," ordered Alice, "Oh! And a large coke! We'll share." Frank nodded at her choices. Frank paid, grabbed their food and then they went to find a table for the six friends (well… five and Snape). Then Alex and Snape walked up to the counter.

"Umm… I'll have a hotdog and fries… he'll have a hamburger and fries… and a chocolate milkshake!" she ordered making Severus laugh while shaking his head at his girlfriend. He paid, grabbed their food and headed off to where Alice and Frank were sitting. Then Lily and James walked up to the counter.

"She'll have the salad with the Italian dressing and a giant cookie, and… I guess I'll have the same, and for a drink… we'll share a root beer," James said earning a smile from Lily. She paid for the food and then James carried it over to their friends.

"So, when are you guys going to America?" Severus asked to which James looked completely shocked.

"Friday," Lily explained.

"Does he…" Severus started but Alex and Alice both put their hands over his mouth to stop the rest of the sentence at the same time. After Severus shut up they took their hands away and gave each other high fives. James looked confused and in his head was deciding whether or not he wanted to know what was going on… but knowing Lily and her friends he decided that he probably didn't so they just dropped the subject.

"So, Sev, what are you doing this summer?" Alex asked looking at her boyfriend

"Same as usual, spending as much time away from my house as humanly possible, probably going to be hanging around at our park," Severus answered.

"What do you mean by your park?" James asked.

"Oh, he lives down the street from me and Kat, so does Alex, we all live by this one park, the one that is literally across the street from me and Kat and down the road from Alex and Sev," Lily explained. James just nodded and kept eating his salad. After about twenty minutes everyone was done with their food and so they decided to head toward the dance floor at the complete opposite side of the carnival. They started walking but then James who wasn't paying attention walked into a clown.

"Oh, sorry sir I… AHH CLOWN!!" James screamed. The clown had a pure white face (make up)

"You're afraid of clowns?!?" Alex and Severus laughed.

"Shut up!" James snapped.

"Aww… my poor baby!" Lily teased making a baby face at him. He stuck his tongue out jokingly at Lily so she went over to the clown and gave him a hug. Then she secretively handed him a five dollar bill and whispered something in his ear, James didn't notice anything though. Lily walked back over to James grabbed his hand and the group continued walking. They reached the boardwalk/games section of the carnival and Lily stopped to tie her shoe she bent down and suddenly the same clown that Lily paid before jumped out of no where and James screamed on the top of his lungs and started running in circles. Lily, who was already on the ground because she was tying her shoe, was now rolling on the ground crying of laughter. Alice fell next to her and she was clutching her side because it hurt to laugh as hard as she was. James stopped running in circles and he stopped screaming and he looked half angry at Lily, and half petrified of the clown standing next to him.

"L-Lily… how could you?" James asked completely honestly.

"I'm sorry James b-but I j-just couldn't r-resist," explained lily through her maniacal laughter. The clown smiled and then walked away (for good this time) and then James face turned into complete anger. Lily only did this prank in fun, but when she saw that she really hurt James she felt horrible. James shook his head in disappointment.

:Lily, yes that was hilarious but I think you really scared the living hell out of him," Frank said. James walked ahead and Frank ran after him to make sure he was okay.

"Guilty tummy!" Lily complained holding her stomach. Whenever she did something that made her feel guilty she always said this. (A/N- In school the other day, Lily and I went to guidance because one of our friend seemed depressed and it was scaring us and afterwards we felt really guilty because the guidance councilor said that if our friend didn't agree to come she would get them to talk to her some way or another, so Lily and I felt really guilty And I actually said "Guilty tummy" and I was holding my stomach as I did this and now Lily and I always do this whenever we feel guilty about something. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG AUTHORS NOTE… my friends and I just have a lot of inside jokes that I keep putting into the story and if I didn't explain them it just wouldn't mean the same thing that I am trying to imply.) Alice just patted her on the back and gave her an apologetic smile.

"I think you should go and apologize," Alice advised. Lily nodded and then ran off toward James and Frank.

"Frank, do you think I could talk to James for a moment alone?" Lily asked as she reached the two boys. Frank nodded and then walked back towards Alex, Alice, and Severus. James looked at her and she gave a weak smile. "I'm so sorry James, I-I didn't know that it was this big of a deal… I was only joking around!" James stayed silent. Tears gathered in Lily's eyes and she turned to walk away but James swiftly grabbed her wrist spun her around and kissed her. She was surprised at first but then she kissed him back.

"GET A ROOM YOU TWO… DAMN!" Alex screamed making them jump apart. They were both flustered and breathing heavily.

"Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they shared one in America," Frank muttered quietly, unfortunately for him Lily and James heard him anyway. James just smiled a really goofy smile and Lily slapped Frank across the face.

"We will do no such thing!" She shouted. The grin on James's face evaporated and he now looked really disappointed and that made everyone laugh except for lily who had a stoic look on her face but then she smiled a little bit and slapped his arm playfully. He smiled again and then grabbed her around the waist and started pulling her towards the direction of the dance floor. She laughed and then they all followed his lead. They were almost there when suddenly Severus and Alex who were leading the group stopped.

"What's wrong?" Alice asked.

"I-I don't think I should come," Severus said looking at the ground.

"Sev, what are you talking about?" Alex asked getting worried, this might be the last time she got to spend time with him before she left for America.

"Well, let's just say that Sirius hates my guts and Derek and Remus.. wouldn't be very… excited… to see me," Severus stated.

"Got that right," James chuckled causing Frank to back hand him in the back of head. James muttered those words softly and thankfully no one else heard but him.

"I'll see you guys when you get back," he started, then he turned and faced Alex, "Byee Alex." Tears rushed to her eyes and she hugged him tight.

"Please don't leave, Sev, I'm not going to get to see you for a two months!" Alex cried. He wrapped his arms around her and tried to calm the balling girl in his arms down.

"Alex, go hang out with him alone for a while, you can go back home with him if you want to also, just come back before Friday," Lily suggested. Alex and Severus both immediately smiled and ran over and gave Lily a huge hug.

"You're amazing, you know that Lils?" Alex asked while hugging one her friend.

"Psshhh! Yeah, I know," Lily said concededly then she gasps really loudly.

"Lily, what's the madder?" James asked looking scared. Lily looked mortified.

"I-I just sounded like you…" Lily said keeping a straight face. Everyone burst out laughing (that is except James) and he just started chasing her and when he caught her he lifted her up into the air and then put her back down and tickled her. She screamed with mirth and joy until he finally stopped tickling her because their friends were starting to get annoyed.

"Bye Alex, bye Sev," Lily called after them. Severus paused for a moment… realizing that Lily just called him Sev… like she used to… but NO he couldn't think about Lily, he was with Alex, he loved Alex, and he knew it too. He sighed and decided to let it go that Lily will 99 definitely never forgive him, but it was that 1 that kept him holding on, he missed his best friend, he only wished that she missed him as well.

"Byee Lils!" They answered in unison and then walked off in the opposite direction. When the friends… well the four that were still there, got to the dance floor, Lily decided to call Kat and tell her where to meet them.

"heyy Kat… we're at the dance floor meet us there… the dance floor, okay bye," Lily said then hung up her cell phone, and within five minutes Lily saw them so she waved her arms around madly and wailed, "Over here!"

Kat, Remus, Rori, Derek, Kris, and Sirius walked over to Lily, James, Frank, and Alice.

'Umm… Lily… did you…. lose someone?" Rori asked noticing Alex's absence.

"Yeah, Lils, where's Alex?" Kat and Kris both said then gave each other high fives.

"Oh, we were hanging out with Severus and now she is going to spend some time with him because he was afraid that if he came Remus, Derek, and Sirius would rip him limb from limb," Lily explained.

"I'm surprised at you James, he's still alive?" Sirius asked with mock-shock.

"Unfortunately yes," James stated earning an elbow in the ribs from Lily, "OW! Why do you keep doing that?!?"

"Stop being a scumbag!" Lily shouted.

"I will when you stop elbowing me!" James fought back.

"I'm elbowing you BECAUSE you're being a scumbag!" Lily screeched.

"Oh… okay then," James answered and then kissed Lily on the cheek. Lily smiled and then grabbed his hand.

"Wow… what an… INTERESTING… relationship," Sirius whispered to Derek. Derek fell over laughing and nearly pulled Rori down with him, but Rori with her awesome Quittitch skills managed to keep her balance.

"What the hell Cooper… you okay?" Remus asked lending him a hand to help him up.

"Yeah, thanks Moony," Derek said as Remus helped him up.

"Hey, what about me?" Sirius cried.

"What about you?" Derek asked.

"I helped too!" Sirius complained.

"Padfoot, you're the reason why I fell down… and you didn't even help me up, why the hell should I say 'thank you Padfoot'?" Derek asked glaring at Sirius. Apparently this was a compliment or something because Sirius was grinning like a five year old boy on Christmas morning.

"YOU"RE WELCOME!" Sirius called. Lily rolled her eyes, will he ever grow up?

"God, can you EVER be serious?" Lily asked angrily.

"You see Lilykins… I'm ALWAYS Sirius," Sirius smiled. Kat and Rori laughed at the look on his face.

"Kat, what time is it?" Kris asked.

"4:32… and 30 seconds if you want to be exact," Kat answered. (A/N- okay I know what your thinking… why 4:32… and AHHH ANOTHER LONG AUTHOR'S NOTE THAT MAKES NO SENSE. Okay well once again an inside joke… I went to go see a movie with my friends, the only one of them that you guys would know was Alex, and was telling everyone that it ends at exactly 4:32 (and a half) and as soon as the movie was over I checked my cell (I had it set to minutes, seconds and hours) and it said 4:32:30. My friends and I started laughing our asses off and the people who hadn't already left looked at us like we were nut cases (which.. we kinda are… but that's not the point… so yeah anyway I just HAD to say 4:32) (and a half) Haha X3)

"WHAT TIME IS IT?" The guys screamed.

"4:32 and three quarters…" Kat answered. The guys looked at each other.

"We have to go soon… we promised Mrs. Potter we'd be back by dinner tonight at 7," Derek explained. The girls looked devastated.

"NO!" They all shouted making pouting faces. Kat looked up at Remus. He just smiled sadly at her then pulled her close and hugged her tight.

"Please don't leave…" Rori sulked. Derek wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in for a kiss. After they broke apart he kept his arms around her and they just stood there staring into each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I have to… I'll see you on Friday," he tried to cheer her up, but it wasn't working, he was upset that he had to leave too, "Hey, we still have two and a half hours left, so come on, lets have fun now… and worry about goodbyes later… okay?" Rori just nodded and they looked up, all of the girls looked sad as did the guys.

"I think we should all go to Lily and Kat's and then play truth or dare in their bedroom, after all we never got to finish," Alice suggested with a smirk the girls and Frank all immediately agreed and the guys did what ever the girls wanted to do so they went back to Lily and Kat's house. While they were walking down the street Lily decided to fill the boys in about what happened with Petunia.

"If you see a fat ass walking around with a slut clinging onto him… that's just my sister trying to ride a cow…" Lily explained causing the girls to laugh.

'Lily, what happened?" Frank asked surprised that Lily would say this about her sister.

"Well… the fat ass walrus yelled at Petunia and called us all freaky whores… so me, being an awesome friend, stood up for everyone cause NOBODYmesses with my friends. Then Wally the walrus broke up with Petunia and she blamed us 'freaks' and now she won't talk to us and is being a stubborn bitch. DAMN SHE'S BEEN HANGING AROUND ME AND KRIS TO LONG!" Kat finished. Everyone laughed at the Wally the walrus and the last thing she said. The guys really weren't used to the girls cursing because they all got top marks in school and were MOST of the time well behaved, so this cursing came as a shock to them. They walked in the door and immediately walked into Petunia and 'Wally' and the fat ass prick turned to Petunia.

"I'll be right back," he cowered knowing full well that they could do magic now.

"Well… well. Looky here if it isn't the little freaks and their freaky little freaks of boyfriends," Petunia said with a smirk.

"I don't think you used the word 'freak' enough in that sentence Petunia," Lily sneered.

"And if I were you, I wouldn't be insulting our boyfriend's just because you don't have a boyfriend… oh wait… you DO have a boyfriend… I'm sorry… I don't count walrus's as people…" Kat smirked making Petunia turn red with anger.

"Aw, the rich little brat thinks she's so perfect doesn't she… getting everything she wants well guess what princess… you're wrong. Do you remember what the last words you ever said to your mother were? Well, how about I refresh your memory you told her that you hated her and that you wish she would just butt out and never talk to you again, and that's exactly what she did didn't she? She got into a car crash and died less then an hour after you said that. And then your father, he killed himself didn't he, even though he still had you and your brother, he killed himself anyway, because you weren't good enough for him. It was entirely your fault that he killed himself too. If you hadn't told your mom that you hated her then she never would've gone for a car ride so she could calm down and then she never would have died. And if she didn't die then your father wouldn't have committed suicide. And then your brother, Jason, goes off to fight in the Order of the Phoenix and he prays that he would die, so he wouldn't have to put up with you anymore, I wonder why? Incase you haven't gotten my point yet, I'll just tell you, you have no family, everyone left you! No one really cares what you do, for all they care… you could die!" She screamed at Kat. The boys looked astonished at what Petunia was saying. Kat burst out crying and then fell into Remus's arms.

"Kat, that's not true your parents loved you, so did Jason!" Frank comforted.

"Oh, I'm not even done yet, and then ," Petunia started until Kat turned to Petunia and slapped her across the face… hard.

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK GO THERE YOU BITCH!!!" Kat screamed. The boys (except Frank) all looked really confused. Lily held her wand out at Petunia's face, then Lily's mother ran in with 'Wally' behind her.

"Lily Evans! YOU PUT THAT WAND AWAY RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY!" Mary Evans shouted. Lily dropped her arm and put her wand in her pocket. Then Lily turned and started to walk up the stairs everyone followed her up.

"OH MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?!? SHE IS SUCH A BITCH!" Lily screamed frustrated slamming onto her bed face down. James walked over and hugged her and then kissed the back of her head. This made her relax a lot more and then she flipped over and James and her laid on the bed and she laid with her head on his chest.

"Tell me about it," Kat said looking miserable and then started crying again. She slid down the side of the bed and landed on the floor with her head against the side of the mattress. Remus came over and plopped down besides her and then wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Don't listen to her Kat, she's a bitch," Lily said looking at her from the top of the bed with James. Then Frank sat down on the other side of Kat and held her hand.

"Yeah, Kat, just forget her and what she said, she just wants to be like us… you know that and unfortunately you had to stand up for Lily, it's this friend weakness you have," Frank explained hugging her tightly. She smiled and then wiped away the tears.

"Thanks guys," Kat said. She looked at Remus who was sitting besides her with his arm around her, looked really concerned.

"You okay?" Remus asked her. She leaned towards him and kissed him quickly on the lips, then she sighed.

"I will be," she said, "Okay, Frank truth or dare?" Everyone looked quickly from Kat to Frank.

"What me… why me?!? Surely you would rather pick Alice, I mean come on!" he complained and earned a smack on the arm from Alice.

"Because I picked you… now answer!" She demanded laughing.

"Fine… no need to be all fussy about it… dare," he answered bravely.

"Follow me…" Kat ordered. She got up and he followed her into her closet and then she shut the door, it was silent for a moment.

"NO FUCKING WAY!" Frank screamed. Then you heard Kat laughing. "Fine." They stayed in there for like another five minutes and then you hurt a lot of giggling.

"Oh my god… YOU LOOK SO SEXXII!!" Kat screamed and then you heard a loud bang.

"Kat… is everything okay?" Remus asked wondering what the hell was going on in there. Suddenly it got really dark and then there were disco light and music and then Kats voice rang throughout the room.

"Presenting, the amazingly sexxii… FRANNY!" Kat screamed as the door opened and fog spread through everywhere.

"Don't call me that!" Frank screamed just then the smoke vanished and you saw him wearing a bubblegum pink strapless bra with white polka dots and it was from Victoria's Secret. He was also wearing pink boxers that had these purple words all over them 'I'm a fagot!' Everyone laughed at him, he looked so ridiculous. Then dance of the sugar plum faeries from the nutcracker came on and he started dancing ballet to it. Alice was laughing so hard that she was crying and Lily was literally rolling on the floor laughing. When the song was over the lights turned on and Frank was wearing his normal clothing.

"I'm never gonna look at you the same again!" Alice choked. Frank looked at the floor blushing but looking sad that Alice said that. Alice saw the look on his face and then she ran over and kissed him quickly on the lips. "Never said that it was a bad thing now did I?" She said seductively with a wink.

"Cough cough WHORE cough cough" Kris joked.

"No I'm the whore!" Lily argued. James looked at her surprised.

"Yeah, well I'm the slut AND the bitch!" Kat said.

"You're the what now?" Remus asked. Kat, Lily and Kris laughed.

"I'm the slut and the bitch, Lily's the whore, and Kris is the emo slut," Kat explained. Everyone just looked at them funny.

"So you're a slut and a bitch?" Remus asked curiously.

"Yupp," Kat answered with a smile.

"Lils… how the hell are YOU a whore?!? You are the least whoreish person I know!" James explained.

"Oh, well then you must not know me very well," Lily said. Then when she saw the look on James's face she quickly added, "Guys, it's only an inside joke." The guys who were all apparently holding their breath let it out.

"You scared me!" James screamed causing Lily to fall off the bed. She landed on top of Derek who looked so shocked that it wasn't even funny.

"Why, hello their Derek how are you on this lovely evening?" Lily asked flirtatiously.

"Derek if you answer that question I swear I will castrate you," James threatened.

"Was that a threat?" Derek asked sounding offended.

"Obviously," Sirius snorted.

"Shut up Padfoot, they weren't talking to you," Remus said.

"Yeah, well they weren't talking to you either," Sirius explain.

'Pads… just shut up, and yes Cooper, that was a threat," James sneered.

"You wanna go?" Derek called.

"Maybe I do!" James said getting up. Derek gently moved Lily off of his lap before springing to his feet, James tackled Derek to the ground. They were rolling around wrestling and all of the girls jumped on Lily's bed so that they didn't get tackled. Then out of no where Sirius lunged at Remus and they started wrestling as well. Frank got pulled into the wrestling match and soon the two separate matches joined into one and you heard them laughing as they wrestled and acted like boys. The girls all watched their boyfriends rolling around like idiots and laughing their heads off, and so they just rolled their eyes and laughed. When the guys finally stopped they found their girls all cuddled up in the bed fast asleep.

"How are they always tired?" Sirius asked rather loudly waking the girls up.

"Trust me, when your boyfriend is a marauder there's always something to be tired for," Lily explained with a yawn. James looked disappointed. Lily caught that and then she added, "But I wouldn't have it any other way." James's expression lightened and he scooped her up and kissed her.

"Sirius… did you realize that technically we're not going out?" Kris asked staring intensely at Sirius.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT KRIS… ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON'T THINK I'M SEXXII AND IRRISITABLE ANYMORE?" Sirius asked.

"NO! Of course not! I'm just saying that… well… you never asked me out," Kris said looking at the floor. Sirius walked over to her and pulled her head up to look him in the eye and he looked at her.

"Kristen Penn, will you b e my g-girlfriend?" Sirius said. He was new at this… normally he had more of… let's say fuck buddies… since you couldn't exactly call them girlfriends… I mean… he had at least 5 girls a week! But no one could say that he was not loyal… because he never cheated on any of them, and you could ask the other marauders, he was the most trustworthy friend anyone could ask for. Kris smiled and then kissed him quickly on the lips when she noticed how cute he looked when he was nervous. NERVOUS! Sirius Black was nervous about a girl… could you believe it?

"Yes, Sirius Black I will," she smiled and he lifted her up in a tight hug and she just laughed. Then he put her feet safely back on the ground and then Sirius sat down on a nearby rocking chair and he pulled his girlfriend onto his lap.

"Derek… are you okay?" Rori asked looking at her boyfriend who was still lying on the floor and hadn't moved.

"Ummph," he responded.

"Ummph… what the hell does ummph mean?" Kat asked.

"He got pounded… he was kinda at the bottom…" Remus explained.

"Not only that but Sirius sat on my hand and I can't move it," Derek explained.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" Rori asked jumping off the bed and running to his side. She looked at his disfigured fingers they were swollen and snapped backwards. Alice and Frank were standing there to make sure that Derek was alright as well.

"Oh my god! Derek! Are you okay?" Alice shrieked at the sight of his fingers.

"Padfoot, I think you broke his fingers!" Frank called. Sirius looked mortified. He took Kris off his lap and then he ran over to make sure that his friend was okay.

"Mate, I'm so sorry!" Sirius called.

"It's no problem Padfoot… does anyone know how to FIX MY FINGERS?" Derek screamed the last part because Sirius accidentally bumped into his hand.

"I do," Kat said as she walked over to Derek with her wand and mended his fingers. "Better?" Derek nodded and Rori looked relieved. Derek hugged Kat.

"Thanks Kat," Derek thanked.

"No problem Derek," Kat answered with a smile.

"Guys, sorry to ruin the fun and all… but it's kinda 6:30," James explained.

"NO!" Alice screamed and then clung onto Frank for dear life. He laughed but it was more of a… forced laugh. Then he looked down at Alice and kissed the top of her head.

"I'm sorry Alice, but we have to go," Frank said.

"James… I hate you," Lily said with a frown.

"WHAT? WHY?" James screamed.

"You could've just ignored it and let us all be happy… but NO you had to kill the fun… stupid fun killer," Lily mumbled.

"Not only did you kill it… you stabbed it multiple times in the stomach with a stainless steel switch blade, and then when it tried desperately to crawl away you snapped its ankle in half and then pulled it back by said ankle and gauged out its eyeballs with its bloody toes which you bit off just seconds before… then you fed its eyeballs to your pet mutant gerbil names Isaac, who then crept into its mouth and ripped out its tongue and slowly and painfully plunged out all of its rotten, yellow teeth. And then you tore off its skin, flesh, and muscle and chopped off two of its ribs and then played the xylophone on its remaining ribs. And you didn't stop torturing it until you made a multimillion platinum record of songs played on its ribs…" Kat said.

"Graphic much?" Derek asked looking disturbed.

"Wasn't that a bit… over the top?" James asked, "But really guys we have to go."

"You are a disgraceful, horrid, repulsive, unpropitious, corrupt, villainous, repugnant, spiteful, obscene, atrocious, vile, vicious, revolting, destructive, heinous, flagitious, gaiety and tomfoolery assassin that ought to perish in Hades perpetually," Kris said.

"Emo girl say wha?" said a girl from Kat and Lily's door.

"Alex! You're back already?!?" Rori asked.

"Yes and Kris what the hell was that all about? Were you trying to summarize the dictionary again?" Alex sighed.

"Again? You mean she's done it before?" Sirius asked shocked.

"Hah! That was hilarious!" Lily laughed.

"Yeah, it was," agreed Kat and Alice and then they both ran at each other and have each other high fives.

"Guys, my mom is gonna pitch a fit if we don't hurry," James got interrupted by an owl who swooped down and dropped a red envelope onto James's lap.

"Hah! James got a howler!" Kat said pointing at him. Then it opened suddenly and a piercing, shrill voice was heard.

"JAMES CHRISTOPHER POTTER WHERE ARE YOU? I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A SINGLE LETTER FROM YOU TELLING ME WHERE YOU ARE… YOU HAVE ME WORRIED SICK!" Then you faint whispering to which you couldn't make out the words. "Oh… you boys are with your girlfriends! How sweet. Tell them I want to meet them all, wait you are most likely with them right now so… hello ladies I'm Mrs. Potter, James's mom, but please call me Rose! I'm sorry for all the yelling but all of the boys parents are here already for dinner, how about you girls come to dinner! Oh what a splendid idea. Oh yes, everyone is staying at Lily's house I presume, well then Lily tell your mother and father they are invited as well and to the rest of you girls please do come, all of the parents want to meet you. Dinner starts at 8 o-clock tonight so please meet come around 7:45-8:00. But boys you still need to be home by 7:00. Hoping to see you all soon! Mom."

"Wait all of your parents are there?" Rori asked.

"Well yeah, all of our parents… well… everyone's but Sirius's he lives with James you know," Derek explained.

"So are you girls gonna come?" James asked. Lily smiled.

"I'll go ask my mom!" Lily called jumping off the bed, racing out the door and down the stairs. Lily forgot to close the door though. All the couples were sitting on a bed except for Kat and Remus who were sitting on the floor so Alex could sit on the bed. Remus sat with his back on the side of the bed and Kat sat in-between his legs. He wrapped his arms around her stomach and she had her head on his chest, and he had his head on hr head. They were the most visible from the open door.

"I hope you can come, I don't want to leave you yet," Remus said looking at Kat.

"I don't want you to leave yet either!" Kat complained. Remus took his head off Kat's and then she turned her head around to look at him, and he kissed her quickly on the lips.

"Awwww," cooed Alex.

"Aww how cute," came an extremely sarcastic voice from the hallway. Suddenly the figure appeared more clear and standing there was Petunia. "That's disgusting!" She made a face like she was going to puke and everyone in the room stared at her with eyes full of hate. Well, everyone except Alex, she didn't know what happened. Petunia went to open her mouth again, but before she was able to speak, Remus slipped Kat's wand out of her pocket and pointed it at the door which was pulled in, towards them.

"Depulso!" Remus casted causing the door to slam shut in her face. He put the wand back down next to them and he wrapped his arm back around Kat's waist.

"You're amazing, you know that?" she smiled at him.

"Yes, I know," he answered. They both laughed and then Lily burst through the door with a huge smile on her face.

"We can come! My mom said she would love to come, but my dad is gonna stay home with Wally and Petunia!" Lily screamed.

"YES!" Everyone else screamed as well.

"Umm… guys?" Alex said, everyone turned to look at her, "Severus and his mom are coming over to my house for dinner so you don't mind if I skip tonight do you?"

"No of course not Alex, do what ever you want to!" Kat said.

"Thanks Kat," Alex answered.

"Guys, we got to go, see you girls in like, an hour!" James said getting up and kissing Lily. Then they all went to walk out then froze.

"My house, back of the silver wear drawer," Kat said. Frank nodded and then the guys headed out and into the house next door.

"Wow… I never thought I could have so much fun with the marauders, if you would've told me last year that I would have to spend a month with James because I wanted to, I would've gotten you tested for drug use!: Lily laughed. Everyone else laughed as well. Kat was still looking out the window and where the guys were walking right then.

"Kat, you okay?" Alex asked.

"Yeah," she answered snapping out of her gaze. Alex looked at her funny and she smiled reassuringly, "I'm fine, really." Alex sighed and then pulled Kat into her closed and used the silencing spell so no one else could hear them.

"Now tell me, Kat, what's up?" Alex asked looking concerned.

"I love you Alex, you know that? You can always tell that something's on my mind even when no one else can. You were always the hardest to fool," she answered.

"Shut up and tell me what's on your mind, because I can tell that it's scaring you," she answered.

"Nothing… just, umm… I think I love him," Kat said looking sheepishly at the floor. Alex squealed really loudly and that noise broke the silencing spell and then everyone came rushing in. What they saw was Alex squealing and hugging Kat really tightly and Kat looked like she was in a lot of pain.

"What's going on?" Rori asked.

"Nothing.. and WILL YOU SHUT UP?" She asked Alex and answered Rori. Alex stopped squealing but smiled goofily all the same.

"Oh, I have to go, have fun!" Alex called running out of the room.

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Lily asked.

"Severus is going over for dinner remember?" Kat reminded them all. They all nodded in agreement and then headed off to go and get ready for dinner but still looking suspicious about why Alex was squealing. Of course they were all going to dress up after all, they were meeting the boys parents! It took the girls until 7:47 to get ready and then they had to gather in front of Lily's house and get into pairs of who knew how to apparate and who didn't. Well, Kris and Rori were still sixteen so Kat apparated with Kris, Alice with Rori, and Lily with her mom. They appeared across the street from the Potter's mansion and it was beautiful. There was a beautiful garden of flowers and trees and fountains in the front and they walked down the path cutting down the center of that garden and it led them to the front door. Lily stepped forward and knocked. Then you heard the guys laughing and a lot of thumping and then the door opened and there stood James dressed in beige dress pants and a black button down shirt with blue stripes.

"Lily!" He said and then he froze when he saw how beautiful she looked. She was wearing a emerald green v-neck dress that went down to about two inches below her knees. At the bottom of the dress there was black lace winding around the bottom. Lily's hair was down and straight and she was wearing matching emerald green flats. She had a light brown purse with Cs on it that held her cell phone and wand. Lily smiled at the look on his face and then she hugged him.

"You look amazing," he whispered in her ear. She smiled and then he invited them all into his home. When Remus saw Kat he froze like James did when he saw Lily. Kat was wearing a spaghetti strap, v-neck wine colored dress. The top was ruffled but the ruffles stopped at her breast line and it went down to about an inch below her knees. Her hair was straight and the highlights were only at the bottom tips of her hair and they were wine colored as well. She wore matching wine colored stiletto sandals and a black purse with Cs on it that held her cell phone and her wand. Remus was wearing beige dress pants and a white button down shirt with red and light brown stripes on it. He ran over to her and hugged her tightly which made her smile. Then he put his forehead on hers and their noses touched but they didn't kiss because all of the parents were watching.

"You look so beautiful!" he whispered. She smiled and he wrapped his around her and she leaned against him and they stood their like that for a while. The when Sirius saw Kris he ran over to her and kissed her full on the mouth, but Sirius's parents weren't here so they really didn't care.

"Sirius let the poor girl breathe son!" A man called standing behind Sirius. Kris blushed when they broke apart and Sirius turned to the man.

"Kris, this is Mr. Potter, he is the closest thing I've ever had to a father," Sirius explained. Kris grinned and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you," Mr. Potter said.

"Pleasure to meet you too sir," she answered politely. Mr. Potter walked back into the dining room where they would all being going to eat and where he'd get to meet the other girls. Sirius looked at Kris and smiled, she was wearing a spaghetti strap v-neck black dress that went down to her knees. She wore black stiletto sandal and her hair was down an curled. She had a purse similar to Kat's but you could tell the difference and hers held her wand and cell phone as well. (only her cell phone was dead).

"You look great," Sirius said with a smile. He was wearing the same colors as James, only the shirts had different designs.

"You don't look half bad yourself," she answered him. Then Rori and Alice walked in they were wearing the same dress in different colors. Rori's was in orange and Alice's was in pink. Rori's hair was down and to one side and she wore matching orange sandals. She had a light brown purse holding the same materials as Kat's, Lily's, and Kris's. Rori ran over to Derek who was wearing beige dress pants an a blue polo with a Hogwarts symbol in black on the side. They hugged and then just looked at each other for a while until they walked over to Lily and James and started talking. Alice had the same outfit and shoes only it was in pink, her hair was to the other side, and they had the same purse. Alice and Frank hugged and he kissed her on the cheek which made her blush, and then the 5 couples and Mrs. Evans (Mary) walked into the dining room where the rest of the parents were waiting. The woman at the front of the table was the first to come and greet Lily's mom.

"Hello, I'm Rose Potter, James's mom," she introduced with a smile. Mary and Rose talked for a while the kids went to go and take a seat and the girls met their boyfriend's families. Before they got to the table Kat quickly turned to Remus.

"I'll be right back I have to say hello to Augusta first," Kat explained, when Remus looked confused she added, "Frank's mom." He nodded and then all of the girls and Frank went over and said hello to Augusta. Frank's father died when he was a kid so it was only Frank and his mother, but they never really minded, at least his father didn't suffer. After everyone said hello Kat walked up to Augusta and she smiled.

"Kat is that you?" she asked getting out of her chair to see her.

"Hello, Augusta, how have you been?" she asked with a smile. They hugged quickly and the Augusta looked at her again.

"Marvelous, you look so beautiful tonight. I remember you when you were two years old, you were always smiling, well that hasn't changed now has it. But, my you are so grown up! I haven't seen you since… Oh my dear I am so sorry I nearly forgot! How have you been?" Augusta asked after spinning her around and looking at how much she had grown. Her face went from complete joy to concern.

"I've been getting along, I couldn't have made it without Mary and Patrick though, without them I would've been a mess!" she explained. Augusta smiled at her response.

"You are one very strong girl Kat, you know that?" Augusta asked her. Then Remus came over and took Kat's hand she looked at him and smiled as Augusta continued, "You have a good, strong girl there, Remus, I hope you know just how strong she is." Remus looked at Kat and she smiled at him.

"Yeah, I know, she's been through a lot, but she smiles through it all," he answered.

"I like him Kat, I think you should keep him for a while," Augusta said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I plan to," she answered back. Augusta waved goodbye and went to go sit down with Frank and Alice.

"Come on Kat, I want you to meet my parents," Remus said. He took her hand and they headed to where his parents were seated. Over on the other side of the table, Derek was introducing Rori to his mother and father.

"Mom, dad, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Rori," Derek said holding Rori's hand.

"Nice to meet you Rori," his mother said holding out her hand.

"Nice to meet you too ma'am," Rori responded warmly shaking her hand.

"What a pleasure to meet you Rori," Derek's father offered his hand as well.

"I assure you, the pleasure is all mine," she answered politely and shook his hand as well. Derek took the seat next to his mother but before he sat he pulled out Rori's chair for her. She smiled and sat down, "Thank you, Derek." He pushed her chair in and then swiftly sat in the seat next to her.

"No problem babe," he answered her with a smile. After everyone was acquainted, they all took their seats so that dinner could begin. Around the round table it went Derek, with Rori to his right, then Lily, then James, then Mr. Potter, then Mrs. Potter, then Mrs. Evans, then Augusta, then Frank, then Alice, then Sirius, then Kris, then Kat, then Remus, then Mrs. Lupin, then Mr. Lupin, then Mr. Cartwheel, then Mrs. Cartwheel, and then back to Derek. House elves showed up with Chicken, Turkey, and Ham (Rori and Derek both being vegetarians were gagging) then they brought salad, cheese lasagna, fettuccini Alfredo, garlic bread, corn, and mashed potatoes. When Kat and Rori saw the mashed potatoes they both smiled and tried really hard not to scream. Lily, Frank, Alice, and Kris, just started laughing and Kat and Rori immediately asked if someone could pass the mashed potatoes but Kat got them first. When she got them she stuck out her tongue at Rori and then laughed as Rori pouted. But when she was done, she automatically passed them to her. Everyone ate a very filling and delicious dinner that night thanks to the Potter's and their house elves. After dinner was done and cleaned up, the adults decided to play games.

"So kids, what do you want to play?" the Mrs. Potter asked.

"How about Battle of the Sexes? It's a muggle game where it's guys against girls and it's who knows more about the opposite sex," Kat explained. Sirius fell to the ground laughing and James just looked at him.
"Sounds like fun!" Mrs. Cartwheel said ignoring Sirius.

""Padfoot… what's your problem?" James asked him.

"She said the word sex twice in that sentence," Sirius answered him. James started laughing as well. Remus rolled his eyes and Derek sighed.

"You guys are so immature, why am I friends with you two again?" asked Derek. Remus patted him on the shoulder.

"I've asked myself that question every single day since I was seven, and I still don't know the answer," Remus said. Derek nodded and then they both just walked away from their two best friends who were rolling on the ground laughing.

"One question… how do we get the game?" Frank asked grabbing Alice's hand. Kat opened her purse and took out her wand and summoned it. Everyone gathered around the board, girls on one side, guys on the other. They all read the instructions and then the game started, the guys asked the girls the first question.

"Okay, one, What is the top selling motor oil in America?" Mr. Potter read.

"Oh crap! I should know this!" Kat screamed.

"Why?" Mrs. Lupin asked.

"Oh, she's American," Lily said.

" Oh my god! I know this one… Pennzoil! " Rori screamed.

"Yes! That's it!" Kat called. The guys and girls looked at Kat and Rori surprised. They gave each other high fives.

"Umm… next question, On average, which fish grows larger, a perch or a trout?" Mr. Cartwheel asked.

"Hah easy, trout," Kat answered with a yawn. Once again everyone looked at her. "What?!?"

"Last question, using a culinary term, what is a generic name for perch, crappie, and bream?" James asked. Kat ran over to Lily and whispered something into her ear.

"Pan fish," Lily said and Kat smiled. The girls got to move 3 spaces and they were ahead… big time.

"How the hell do you know all these Kat?" Remus asked and his mother slapped him in the back of the head. "Ow."

"Watch your language," she said to him.

"Yes mum," he answered.

"I lived with my older brother my entire life and some of my best friends are guys," Kat answered. Then she picked up a card and laughed.

"What?" Derek asked. Rori came over and read the questions.

"You guys are screwed I don't even know some of these answers!" Rori said with a laugh. Suddenly all of the guys looked really scared.

"Okay, What would you use a pumice stone for?" Mrs. Potter asked.

"Taking off dead skin, well off your feet," Frank answered. The guys all looked at him surprised but the girl didn't well the kid girls didn't the adults did.

"Question two, traditionally why would a bride wear a white wedding dress?" Mrs. Cartwheel asked. The guys all looked completely clueless.

"Because it's a pretty color?" Sirius asked making everyone to burst out laughing.

"It's a sign of purity," Kris said laughing.

"Oh…" All the guys murmured making the girls laugh even harder.

"Mark you should've known that!" Mrs. Potter yelled at her husband.

"You guys only got three right because of the kids! Without them we would cream you!" He called back.

"Oh, you think so?" Mrs. Lupin asked standing up for Mrs. Potter (her best friend).

"We know so," Mr. Lupin answered. The kids were just staring at them and then they slowly started backing away into the living room and they sat on the couches and watched as the guy's and Lily's parents became very competitive. Lily sat on James's lap and they both sat there talking and laughing at their parents' stupidity. Derek sat up normally with Rori's head in his lap. Rori fell asleep and he started playing with her hair which was laying across his lap as well. Kris was sitting on Sirius's lap and they were just staring at each other and trying their hardest not to start making out right then and there. Alice and Frank sat next to each other holding hands and talking with Lily and James. And Kat and Remus sat next to each other and he had his arm around her stomach and she was leaning on his chest.

"This sucks," Lily stated making all everyone (the kids) look at her.

"What sucks, Lily?" James asked wrapping his arms around her waist.

"This! The fact that I can't kiss you!" Lily shouted quietly (if you know what I mean, like it was shouted worthy only it was said quietly so the adults couldn't hear her).

"It sucks for all of us Lils," Kris said snuggling really close to Sirius so she wouldn't be tempted to kiss him.

"Really, it's not fair," Kat agreed. Kat pouted and buried her face into Remus's chest and her hugged her tightly.

"THIS SUCKS MONKEY ASS!" Kris screamed making all the parents and kids turn to look at her.

"What sucks monkey ass?" Mr. Potter asked causing all the kids to burst out laughing. Then Lily like growled or something like that and Kat fell off the couch laughing.

"Ow!" she said when she hit the floor but she kept laughing anyway. Then Frank and Alice fell off the couch as well and they were rolling around on the ground.

"What the hell is so damn funny?" James asked irritated. Then his mother walked over and slapped him across the face. "Ow! Mum!"

"Don't talk like that around your parents James, it's rude," his mother said as she walked back to the game.

"Hey mum?" James called.

"Yes?" his mother answered.

"Can me and the guys give the girls a tour of the house?" James asked.

"As long as you guys stick together, then yes," his mother answered. Everyone jumped up and followed James and Sirius up the stairs. As soon as they all reached the top Kris ran over to Sirius and they started making out. Alice leaned towards Frank and kissed him quickly on the lipsbut then they broke apart and blushed. Remus went to kiss Kat but she quickly turned her head and he ended up kissing her cheek. He looked really surprised and hurt.

"Oh… access denied!" James laughed. Then he went to kiss Lily and she stepped to the side and he almost fell over. "Lily? What the hell?"

"Kat, why did you do that?" Remus asked. Kat looked at him and bit her bottom lip.

"It's just, I don't get why it isn't okay for us to kiss in front of your parents but as soon as they can't see what's happening, suddenly it's okay?" She asked.

"I agree with her," Lily stated.

"Kat, it's not like that! I just don't know what they'd say!" Remus tried to explain. Kat just looked at the floor and bit her bottom lip. "Will you stop that?!?"

"Lily, same thing moony just said, I'm just scared at what they'd say and think," James explained. Lily turned and looked at Kat and then Kat nodded and Lily turned back to James.

"We've come to a decision, we aren't gonna kiss you until you feel comfortable enough to kiss us in front of your parents. We feel like if we can only kiss you guys behind their backs it makes us feel like we are dishonoring your parents. We hope you understand," Lily said speaking for both herself and Kat as well. James looked horrified and he almost started crying and Remus looked at Kat to see if Lily spoke the truth. She nodded her head and then held his hand.

"It shouldn't be that big of a deal," Kat stated leaning against Remus.

"It's okay, I guess you're right it's not that big of a deal," Remus answered hugging her tightly.

"I guess," James agreed pouting and wrapping both his arms around Lily's waist.

"Sucks for you guys," Sirius said making everyone jump.

"Shut it. And may I welcome back to the real world Sirius?" James asked.

"Nope, that's my job," Kris responded with a smirk and then quickly pecking Sirius on the lips. Alice looked around and then realization hit her.

"Hey, where are Rori and Derek?" Alice asked suddenly.

"I think they are still downstairs on the couch," Remus responded.

"Oi!! Cooper! Get up here!" Sirius called. Frank, Lily, and Kat started giggling.

"Rori's asleep!!" he called back. They started chuckling.

"Then wake her ass up and come here!" Kris exclaimed. They burst out laughing. Frank was leaning against the wall for support and James and Remus had to hold up Lily and Kat to stop them from toppling over. Rori and Derek came trotting up the stairs hand and hand and Rori looked a little tired. When they reached the top of the stairs and they saw their friends they both looked really confused.

"What's so funny?" Rori asked. This comment just made them all laugh harder. Frank started sliding down the wall until he hit the ground and sat with his back to the wall still howling with laughter.

"Really! What the hell is so god damn funny?!?" Kris yelled. Everyone just stared at them except for James and Remus who were struggling to keep them on their feet. When they eventually stopped laughing they were holding their stomachs and had tears in their eyes (or streaming down their face like in Lily's case).

"Now can you explain what was so damn funny?" Sirius asked impatiently.

"Inside….. joke," Frank said struggling to speak. When everything was said and done they continued their tour of the Potter's humongous house (some people might even call it a mansion, some being the key word…). Through out the entire tour the marauders had funny stories about every single room of the house, some of which the girls would have rather not known. The stories varied from Sirius breaking his collar bone, to wild parties, each story unique and scary in its own special way.

"Ah, the ball room, fun times in here, wouldn't you agree Mr. Cooper," Sirius said.

"Yes Mr. Padfoot, fun times, but not all of said times I wish to share with my girlfriend…" Derek responded.

"Oh yeah, and why exactly might that be?" Rori asked sweetly.

"Oh, well at one of our parties Mr. Cooper here got drunk out of his mind and almost got busy with a certain Miss Hathorn. Kelly Hathorn, if I am to be specific. I believe we made it here just in time to stop him from having the worst fuck he would have ever experienced in his entire life. Is my memory correct Mr. Moony?" Sirius explained. Rori looked absolutely shocked and disgusted. The rest of the girls look the same. The marauders and Frank just looked amused. Derek however, looked mortified and really pissed off.

"Yes Mr. Padfoot I do believe your recalling is accurate. However, I am still mentally scarred at the sight of the two of them, drunk out of their minds, having no idea what the hell they were doing, half naked," Remus answered.

"As am I Mr. Moony, as am I," Sirius agreed.

"Where the hell was I when all of this happened?!?" James practically screamed.

"Mr. Prongs, I do not believe that you would wish me to reveal your where abouts with these ladies in particular in our presence," Sirius said. When James heard this his eyes went wide and he paled a little bit.

"I agree with you one hundred percent, Mr. Padfoot, there is no need to reveal my where abouts at said moment in time," James nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Cooper, are you feeling alright, you look a bit, peaky," Remus stated.

"Ah, yes Mr. Moony, he does look a bit peaky," Sirius confirmed.

"YOUR DAMN RIGHT I LOOK A BIT PEAKY! DID I NOT JUST FUCKING TELL YOU TO SHUT YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTHS! RORI IS GONNA HATE ME!" Derek panicked. Everyone turned to look at Rori who was still in a state of shock.

"I- I," Rori stuttered not able to spit it out.

"I understand, you wanna break up with me," Derek sulked looking at the ground.

"When?" she asked him.

"What?"

"When did this happen?" she asked looking into his eyes. He look back into hers and saw tears in her eyes.

" Umm, I think it was Christmas break in 4th year," Derek recalled. Rori nodded and then a few tears fell out of her eyes. He hugged her and she buried her face into his chest.

"Derek I think we need to talk," Rori said not looking up at his face.

"You guys can go and talk in my room, we'll meet you in lets say, twenty minutes," James suggested. Derek nodded. James gave him an apologetic smile and the group of friends, save Rori and Derek, continued their tour. Rori and Derek headed off to James's room, which was where the five boys were staying anyway. They walked into the room and closed the door behind them. Derek led Rori over to his bed and they both sat crossed legged across from each other on the bed holding hands.

"Okay, talk," Derek started.

"I'm not mad at you for something you did in the past," she began looking at their entwined finger.

"That's a relief I mean you," Derek started but stopped when Rori let go of his hand and held a finger to his lips.

"I wasn't finished," she declared. Derek nodded and then took her hand into his once more, he hated it when they were fighting. Rori took in a deep breathe and then continued, "I'm not mad at you for something you did in the past," she repeated, "I'm mad at you for not telling me. I'm mad at you for thinking that I would be mad at you. But most of all, I'm mad at you because you didn't trust me." Tears filled her eyes again as she finished what she was saying.

"Rori, no please don't cry!" he pleaded.

"You don't trust me!" she cried, tears streaming down her face. She didn't often cry in front of people, she really didn't enjoy showing weakness, but she was really hurt. Derek held her face in his palms and wiped her tears away with his thumbs.

"It's not that I don't trust you. I trust you a lot! It's more of, I'm embarrassed. You have to understand that, I would be embarrassed by that," he explained calmly.

"I'd be embarrassed too," she chuckled.

"So, are we good?" He asked hopefully. She smirked.

"I guess you could say that," she responded and then kissed him full on the lips.

"I hope she doesn't eat him," Kat said randomly. Everyone turned to look at her and then they rolled their eyes and looked away and continued their walk in silence. They walked in a complete circle and then Alice turned to Frank.

"It's too quiet god dammit I hate it when it's quiet! It has to have been twenty minutes," Alice complained. Frank looked at his girlfriend and chuckled at how pathetic she looked. She had her bottom lip puckered out and she had her arms crossed tightly across her chest. She was looking at the carpeted floor and stomping her feet like a spoiled six year old begging for the latest toy.

"Actually I think it has been," Frank answered taking a quick peak at his watch. The four girls looked at each other and then darted off into the direction that they came from and when they opened the door to James's room they saw Rori and Derek snogging each other senseless. So the four of them ran in and jump on top of them making both of them scream and jump apart. When the guys arrived all they saw was everyone lying on top of Rori and Derek trying to escape.

"Doggy pile!" Sirius screamed and all of the guys jumped on top of Derek and the friends were all laughing. After everyone stopped wrestling the couples all sat on the beds in each other's arms.

"I'm assuming you guys made up," Kris flatly stated towards Rori. Rori just giggled and then kissed Derek on the lips.

"At least we can all finally spend time together without the parents breathing down our necks," James stated.

"I agree with you there mate," Sirius said.

"I also agree with Mr. Prongs and Mr. Padfoot," Derek said.

"Mr. Cooper I believe that we all agree with Mr. Prong's statement," Remus said.

"Yes Mr. Moony we all do agree on that," Sirius agreed.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THOSE NICKNAMES!" Kris, Lily, Kat, and Alice all screamed together. The four marauders and Frank all looked at each other and laughed.

"Now I really feel left out, even Frank knows what it means!" Kat teased. Everyone started laughing except for Frank who gave Kat a jokingly dirty look.

"Hey! I know a lot of things!" Frank complained which only made everyone laugh harder. Alice roller her eyes and kissed him.

"Of course you do babe," she joked.

"But really, what do they mean?" Lily asked completely honestly.

"They mean… they umm mean," James started.

"Kids come back downstairs where we can see you!" James's mother screamed suddenly. Derek gave Remus a look that clearly said 'Saved by the bell' and Remus nodded in agreement. James gave Sirius the same look. Everyone got off the beds and went back downstairs into the family room where all of the adults were already gathered.

"What did you guys really do upstairs?" Mr. Potter said with raised eyebrows.

"Honestly?" James asked, his father nodded, "Absolutely nothing."

"Lily, what did you guys really do upstairs?" Mr. Potter asked. Everyone laughed at the look on James's face.

"He's telling the truth sir, absolutely nothing happened between James and I," Lily approved. Mr. Potter nodded, he of course believed Lily because he heard about how responsible she was.

"Derek?" Mrs. Cartwheel sternly said.

"Mother?" He replied. Everyone chuckled.

"Well, what did you do?" she demanded.

"Not to be disrespectful mum but I am seventeen and there by a legal adult and may do what I please," Derek commented. His mother and father looked at him shocked. "We didn't do THAT!" Everyone laughed except for his parents.

"How can we be sure?" Mr. Cartwheel interrogated.

"Please sir and ma'am, we did nothing like that! I swear," Rori assured. His parents looked at each other and gave an approving nod.

"Remus?" Mr. Lupin asked, "What did you do?"

"Same as James and Lily, absolutely nothing," Remus replied/

"Is he telling the truth?" Mrs. Lupin questioned Kat.

"Yes he is, absolutely nothing," Kat verified.

"Alice, I trust you, so I don't have to ask. I don't trust Frank, but I trust you," Augusta stated flatly.

"Thanks Augusta," Alice chuckled.

"Mum!" Frank called embarrassed. After that it got really quiet for about a minute.

"Wait, why didn't anyone ask me is I did anything?" Sirius complained.

"That's because we know you Sirius, and we know you did SOMETHING!" Mr. Potter replied. Everyone laughed at what Mr. Potter said and at the color of Kris's face.

"Kris, you're blushing so hard you look like a tomato!" Rori laughed.

"Are you insisting that I'm over weight?" Kris screamed.

"No! I'm saying the shade of your face reminds me of a vegetable… that's not a insult," Rori explained.

"Ummm… Rori, a tomato is a fruit… not a vegetable… your a vegetarian shouldn't you know that?" Alice asked.

"What ever, I say potato you say tomato," Rori yawned.

"Yo, it's I say potato you say potado," Kat explained.

"Oh…" Rori said shrugging.

"Anyway, we called you kids down here to ask you some questions about your little trip on Friday," Mrs. Potter said.

"Shoot," Frank said sitting down, all of the other kids followed his example.

"Number One, what time is the flight?" Mrs. Potter asked.

"We are meeting at the airport at 5 a.m. the flight leaves at 6:45 a.m. I will take about an hour to go through services then we will probably get food and drinks then board the plane," Lily answered.

"Number Two, how are you guys getting from the airport to wherever you're staying?" Mrs. Cartwheel asked.

"We have a limo coming to pick us up from the air port… we have connections and we know the driver personally," Rori explained.

"Number Three, where are you staying?" Mrs. Lupin asked.

"My house," Kat simply answered.

"I thought you lived with Lily?" Mrs. Lupin questioned.

"I do, but my parents left the house to my brother, and my brother left the house to me… so we always go there," Kat explained. The parents all nodded their heads in understanding.

"Number four, when are you coming home?" Mr. Potter asked.

"We're coming home in exactly a month, the girls will be there for two months though," James responded.

"Number five, do you guys have stuff planned to do on certain days?" Mr. Cartwheel asked.

"The girls said they have everything planned and that they know where we are going inside out and backwards. So they have everything planned," Derek answered.

"Number six, what time do we have to pick you up from the airport when you get back?" Mr. Lupin asked.

"About 1:30, because our plane lands at one so we have to get all of our luggage or something like that," Remus explained.

"Our final question, on your way back, are you gonna know what to do in order to get on the plane?" Mrs. Potter asked her son,

"We are gonna pay very close attention when we leave on Friday and when we come back and have the girls explain everything to us so that we can't screw up when we come home!" James answered carefully. His mother nodded and then all of the mothers burst out crying (except for Mrs. Evans and Augusta Longbottom).

"Mum, don't cry it's only a month!" Remus comforted.

"Yeah, mum, please don't cry, I'll write to you once a week!" Derek suggested.

"Mum, if anything happens you could always apparate or we could too! We just have to take the plane there because the girls always do and we've never flown in a muggle airplane before! They're safe, we won't crash and die or anything!" James reassured.

"It's not that!" Mrs. Potter explained.

"It's just that you guys," Mrs. Cartwheel continued.

"Are growing up so fast!" Mrs. Lupin finished. The boys all went up to hug their moms (and Mrs. Potter told Sirius that he was her son too and she wanted a hug from him also) and the mothers all calmed down. Mrs. Potter looked to Mrs. Evans.

"Is it hard to watch them go?" she asked honestly.

"Every time," Mrs. Evans concluded. Mrs. Potter took in a deep breath and just calmed down.

"They have a good group of friends over in America that I trust. They really do know it very well, we used to al go until they turned eleven, then we allowed them to go alone with Jason, but after Jason left, we knew they were responsible enough to take care of themselves and we knew that everything would be alright as long as they stuck together, and they always do, so there is no need to worry about anything, because believe me, everything will be just fine, it always is," Augusta reassured them all with a smile.

"Yes, I used to go as well, but like she said when they turned eleven everything changed and we knew Jason well enough and of course we trusted him with our children. Then after he was gone we knew that they needed time to get over that and hang out just as kids without adults and they are all responsible when they need to be. Allowing them to go alone has really helped them grow up and accept responsibility for themselves, everything always turns out just fine," Mrs. Evans agreed.

"I lived in America for the first four years of my life, then I would also go there every summer and sometimes I would go to school there as well. I have many friends in America and I know the place completely… we all do. After fourth year when I no longer had Jason I was able to really rely on myself more then just those around me and I learned a lot about how life will be down the road, going there has really helped al of us, and I assure you there is no reason to worry," Kat explained.

"Wow… that was deep," Frank said in fragments.

"I have my moments," Kat mock gloated.

"I wanna make a speech!" Lily exclaimed.

"Go ahead, who's stopping you?" Kris asked.

"Okay, let's see. I started going to America every summer since I was five. I me many people who have made huge differences in my life. Some good and some bad, but mostly good. Jason took good care of us when we stayed with only him, but once he was gone we had to do everything ourselves and that helped us with responsibility/ We had to depend on our selves and get things done our selves otherwise nothing would have ever gotten done. We learned that if you have something to do, don't procrastinate because it will still be there later, and you could end up having to do more then you would have had to in the first place. In conclusion, I've learned many things in my experiences in America and I'm sure tha your sons will too," Lily stated.

"Wow, that was a very long speech, are you like running for president or something?" Rori asked tilting her head to the side.

"What's president?" asked James, Sirius, Remus, Derek, Mrs. and Mr. Potter, Mrs. and Mr. Lupin, and Mr. and Mrs. Cartwheel.

"It's the muggle leader of America," Alice explained.

"Oh," they all echoed.

"Hey James," Mr. Potter called.

"Yeah, dad?" James asked turning to look at his father.

"When you say nothing, do you mean that you guys didn't even kiss?" Mr. Potter chuckled. James turned a deep crimson color.

"Yeah, same question Remus," Mr. Lupin said. Remus blushed as well. The look on both of the boys' faces made the girls giggle.

"Yes, we didn't even kiss," James answered.

"Same," Remus responded.

"Why not?" Mr. Potter and Mr. Lupin asked. James and Remus were astonished and the girls just giggled.

"They wouldn't let us?" Remus and James pouted. Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Lupin suddenly looked at the girls.

"Well, Lily and I felt that if we were only allowed to kiss them when you guys weren't looking than it was like we were disrespecting you feeling and rules," Kat answered.

"I like you," Mrs. Lupin said.

"Thank you," Kat smiled.

"Thank you Lily, that was very mature of you," Mrs. Potter pointed out.

"You're welcome," she replied. Kat and Lily were just smiling and laughing at the miserable looks on their boyfriends' faces.

"What time is it?" Alice randomly asked. Everyone in the room turned to look at her, except for Frank who was looking at her in the first place.

"Good question Alice, and oh my! It's almost 10! We have to get going," Mrs. Evans called getting off of the couch. All of the kids groaned, no one wanted to leave but they got up anyway.

"Goodnight Alice, I'll call you in the morning," Frank said sweetly pecking her on the lips.

"Goodnight Frank," she responded. They hugged and then headed their separate ways.

"Goodnight Kris," Sirius called. They hugged and kissed for a brief moment.

"Goodnight," she answered.

"'Night Rori!" Derek exclaimed hugging her.

"'Night Derek," she said with equal enthusiasm. She kissed him quickly on the lips then they also separated. Kat and Remus and Lily and James just looked at each other and then Kat and Lily stuck their tongues out at James and Remus and tried to run away but the guys both grabbed them around the waists and stopped them.

"You're not going anywhere until I get a proper goodnight," James declared leaning down kissing her full on the lips. His parents were clear in view and quite frankly he didn't give a damn. When they broke apart Lily smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Goodnight James," she laughed and then walked over to her friends. Kat smiled and then Remus quickly spun her around and kissed her on the lips. She smiled and then hugged him.

"Goodnight Remus," she said still smiling.

"Goodnight," he answered. Kat kissed him on the cheek then she ran off to her friends and they all waved goodbye. The same pairs were established to apparate back to Lily's house. They all got back and went upstairs and the girls all immediately fell asleep after a long, restless, exhausting day. Lily laid down on her bed and thought to herself, Well, this summer will sure be weird. I'm going out with Potter, Frank and Alice finally told each other that they liked one another, and we're all going to America on Friday. Oh well, I guess things will just… unfold.

Then her eyes fluttered closed and she fell into a well-deserved sleep, and all her worries and fears seemed to fade away with the light.
