Here we go, New Years. Sorry about my last chapter, the email alert got delayed by a few hours for some reason. And I'm ill today! No work! Which means the last two chapters of this story can be put up TODAY!!!! Yay for me! Yay for everyone! I may be ill, but I can still be damn well hyper! On here at least, feel like I'm coughing up a lung in reality. (Don't you hate reality? Squashing all of your fantasies?) Ok, adding on from this, I wrote this before I went for an unscedualled(?) 6 hour nap at 12 noon. Then I waited until most of my readers (I was guessing) would be on. Didn't want to delay them from the chapter anymore than I should have, did I? Well anyways, ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!!

Chapter 14: Happy New Year And Happy Birthday

Godric's Hollow…

"I'm so glad that we aren't having a huge party. After Christmas, I think I was ready to sleep for a few weeks." Lily said, sipping her non alcoholic champagne. She was sitting in the living room with all the other females (plus Chris and Wyatt) in the living room while the males were, where else but the Quidditch pitch. Lily didn't want a fuss for her birthday, which was New years day, and nobody really wanted a huge party after the late nights they had had in the past week.

"Yeah, but we will be having a late night tonight too." Prue said. She was fiddling with her new wand. It was her gift from Remus for Christmas. The two of them, with Phoebe and Sirius went to Diagon Alley on the 29th to get it.

Flashback, 29th December, Diagon Alley…

"Creepy little place." Prue commented as the four of them walked into Ollivander's. The shelves behind the counter were filled with long slim boxes, Prue knew they were wands, she wasn't dumb.

"Ahh, Ms. Halliwell. I was wondering when you would be coming for your wand. After all, you've been back a week or so." Ollivander stepped out from behind the counter.

"How did you know? No one was supposed to remember that she was dead." Phoebe asked.

"Ms. Halliwell, I don't mean to alarm you, but I myself am part demon. It was forced upon me many a year ago but I overcame the evil inside me. It is because of this reason that I remember what really happened and the new memories. But it is quite useful for knowing what wands will suit who. But then again, the wand picks the wizard." Ollivander went back behind and picked up a few boxes. "Let's try this one. 7 inches, pine, unicorn blood core." Prue took and waved it but Ollivander snatched it back straight away. "No. How about this. 9 inches, holly, mermaid tail scales." Prue once again took it and waved it but it was snatched away again.

This process was repeated around 12 times before Ollivander went further than before and brought out a very old looking box. "This wand I tried with your brother in law last year, but I feel that you may be powerful enough to wield it. 11 inches, oak, oriental flame dragon scales core." He gave her the wand and as she waved it, golden silk floated out of the end and disappeared into thin air. "Excellent. I thought this wand would be the one for you. That will be 7 galleons please." Remus paid and they left the shop, a happier Prue in tow.

Present Time…

"Prue, your going to wear that wand of yours out if you don't stop playing around with it." Lily's voice drew Prue out of her daydream. She shook her head a few times and put her wand away.

"Sorry, daydreaming." She said.

"Aren't you always?" Piper replied. Prue stuck her tongue out and Piper returned the favour.

"Wow, and I thought that I acted childish." Phoebe said, grinning at her two older sisters.

"You are, but we still have 6 years to catch up on, that's a lot of joking around." Prue said.

"Hey, do me and Paige not count of something then?" Phoebe pouted, Paige following suit.

"Do you always have to be the centre of attention?" Prue and Piper asked together. The rest of the women in the room started laughing at the four Halliwells. Then the sisters realised how silly they were being and started laughing too.

Quidditch Pitch, A Little While After…

"How long before Ginny sneaks away to come play with us?" Ron asked Harry, who was flying next to him. The four other men were throwing a Quaffle between each other and the two Kinetic Charmed Ones were flying around the pitch together, just talking.

"Not long. You know her and Quidditch. And I put Hermione would come out too. She's getting more used to Quidditch now."

"Yeah. It's only 6 anyway. We should be going in for dinner soon." Ron said, looking at his watch.

"Do you only think about food?" Harry asked, shaking his head and smiling.

"Of course it is. He wouldn't be Ron without that would he?" Sirius said as he flew by them and stopped at their pace.

"Shut up Sirius." Ron told him.

"And again, the cat is telling the dog what to do. That can be very dangerous for your health you know, you should watch yourself Ron." Sirius grinned. He paused while he was being spoken to telepathically from Phoebe. "Hey guys!" He shouted to everyone on the pitch. "Dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes! They want us in now!" Brooms descended to the ground and were banished to the broom cupboard and the men were orbed back in by James.

Godric's Hollow's Dining room…

"Excellent food Lily." Sirius complemented.

"Thank you Sirius." Lily said. James orbed into the kitchen with the plates and orbed back. "But Piper helped too."

"What can I say, I love spending time in the kitchen." Piper said. "Always have done, Grams always taught me how to cook more difficult recipes and they just stick so easily in my head."

"That's our Piper. Our own little kitchen witch." Prue said with a grin.

"Prue, don't start with that." Piper warned.

"Make me Kit." Prue said, using her Marauder name.

"Ok then, I will. Prujo." Piper replied, using the Marauder name that Prue had been given by her three sisters. Paige had been told about Prue's time as a dog and since she was a canine Animagus, the name had stuck in Phoebe and Piper's minds.

Prue stuck her tongue out at Piper, who returned it.

"Childish." Phoebe and Paige said together, making the four of them laugh.

A Minute Before Midnight…

"Everyone got their glasses ready?" James asked. Nods came from everyone before the clock started to chime the 30 second countdown. When it got to 10, everyone joined in.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" Everyone clinked glasses then joined hands to sing along with Auld Lang Sign.

Then everyone gave Lily her birthday presents. Lily, who was quite tired, told them she would open them at breakfast and so Lily, Prue, Piper, Leo and Remus decided to go to bed while James, Sirius, Phoebe, Paige, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron stayed downstairs to just talk. Then as the hours of the morning grew, the numbers lowered as people went off to bed. Only Hermione and Ron were still downstairs at 2am. But it was at that time that they too decided to go to bed.

So, for the next 7 hours all that was heard in Godric's Hollow were soft snores and the occasional hoot from Hedwig and Pig and a meow or two from Snowflake.

I know, I know, not as good as it could be. Well, I tried my best. If you don't like it, then tough! But please review anyways, I love to hear what you think of my chapters.
