The Jewel

The girls were whispering prank plans behind their hands to each other when they stumbled into the kitchen. Mrs. Potter was busy making breakfast when the girls came in. She looked up startled. Two "Good Morning Mrs. Potter"'s and a "Good Morning Mum" Was heard from the group of girls as they sat at the breakfast table.

"Well, good morning girls. Aren't you up a bit early? Oh Lily it's good to see you! How was your trip to America?" Mrs. Potter asked as she wiped her hands on a towel. Lily had been on vacation in America for the past month, a business trip for her father. She had gotten right back into normal routine that her friends had completely forgot that she had been away.

"My vacation was fun Mrs. Potter. I missed you all though. We are up early though because our Hogwarts letters came this morning!" Lily said with a beaming smile.

"Oh, how fabulous! I think that this calls for a cerebration breakfast! Why don't you go wake up Sirius and James, and I'll floo call Remus and your parents." Mrs. Potter said walking over to the fireplace. She was half way there when the fireplace flared and Remus stepped out. "Remus, you're early!"

"Yes, well, my Hogwarts letter came, so I knew everyone else's had, which meant that Lily would be here early, and I wanted to see my baby sister!" Remus replied while he walked over and hugged Lily. Lily was the youngest of the group, and the boys called her their 'baby sister'.

" REMY! Oh my goodness, I missed you so much! Mrs. Potter was just going to floo your place to see if you wanted to come over for a celebratory breakfast! And we were just going to go up stairs and to wake our other brothers. By the way, Mrs. Potter, don't call my parents. We got back really late last night, and I don't think that they would appreciate being woken up early." Lily said with a grin as she pulled back.

"Speaking of waking your brothers up, I found a new spell for you!" Remus said with a grin. "It's really a simple charm. The incantation is Wingardium Leviosa. It should be fairly easy." Every one in the kitchen stopped to watch as Lily raised her right hand, pointed it at Remus and thought the incantation. The results were instant. Remus rose in the air, and as Lily moved her hand around, he went flying around the room. Lily was careful to make sure that Remus didn't hit anything, before gently putting him down. Everyone burst out laughing. Everyone except Remus that is. He just pouted.

"That wasn't funny." Remus grunted as he brushed himself off. "Why did you do that to me? You could have got one of the others."

"Yes, but I didn't want to dear brother." Lily said as she ran out of the room with Remus chasing after her. About five minutes latter they reached Sirius's room, and Remus and Lily noticed that Catta and Crystal were behind them. "Okay, time to wake up Padfoot." Lily had a maniac grin on her face as they crept into the room.

"One." Remus said. Lily raised her hand in preparation.

"Two." Catta added. Lily started the spell in her head.

"Three." Crystal finished, just as Lily finished the incantation. Sirius woke up that morning by being bounced around the room.

"Lily!" Sirius said when he was dropped in a heap on his bed. He sprang up out of the bed and ran over to hug Lily. Picking her up and spinning her around, making Lily laugh.

"Good to see you to Sirius!" Lily laughed when he set her down.

"And I see you learned a new spell!" He said as they sat down.

"I just learned it. Remus taught it to me." Lily said, stifling her giggles.

"Oh, it's your fault that I woke up by being bounced around the room?" Sirius asked Remus, the former glaring daggers at the latter.

"Traitor." Sirius mutters with a fake glare that soon turned into a smile.

"Yup, that's me." Remus said, nodding. "But, if it makes you feel any better, she did the same thing to me, and she still has James to torture." Lily smiled wickedly, and her friends cowered in 'fear'.

"Thank you for waking me up before James. I so want to see what how bad little Lils gets James!" Sirius exclaimed. It was then that he finally noticed the owl that was taping at his window. Jumping up ( Sirius must like jumping. He jumped up from bed to.) he ran over and flung the window open. The bird flew in, but, of course, it was a sycotic bird, so Sirius spent the next five minutes chasing the bird, while the other four just sat there laughing. Finally getting exasperated he stopped short and turned on his heel so that he was facing Lily.

"Dearest baby sister, would you mind helping me out a bit." Sirius asked in a sickly sweet voice.

"I guess I've had enough laughs." Lily said with a sigh. Lifting her hand, she thought 'imobulus' causing the bird to hang in the air like a mobile.

"Thanks Lily." Sirius said as he snatched the owl out of the air. After opening the letter and reading through it, he started to do a little dance. His 'siblings' just stared at him as if he were crazy.

"Siri, just answer the owl already so that we can go wake James up. I want to see what kind of torture she puts him through!" Catta whined. Lily always got James the worst with her magic. After Sirius settled down and scrawled a hasty 'yes' the five siblings marched into James room down the hall.(a/n: okay, so they aren't real siblings, but they treat each other like they are, and besides, it's shorter that saying 'The two Marauders, and the Jewels'. So when they are together, they shall be dubbed the siblings)

Gathering outside the door they conversed quietly about what Lily should do to James. Finally they decided. It wasn't as great as usual, but it was still good. Sirius pulled out a camera (magic one of course). Whenever Lily got to wake James up, you would need a camera. "Okay, let's go!"

The five crept into James room and watched as Lily got to work. First off, she transfigured his pajamas into a pink leotard and tights, and his slippers into Pointe shoes. (a/n: for those of you who don't know, Pointe shoes are what professional Ballet dancers wear. Without them, when they dance on their toes, they will mostly likely break their toes and ankles. So here is my warning: Do NOT dance en Pointe without Pointe shoes!) She conjured a tutu and put the Pointe shoes on James. Then she put her hand over her throat and thought 'Sonorous' before pointing her hand, palm forward, at James and thinking 'Wingardium Leviosa'. After casting a quick music charm, she moved her hand around so that James was dancing one of the dances from the Nutcracker. Running over to Catta and Crystal, she hid behind them quickly, and put her invisibility cloak over her head. (a/n: They can not all share an invisibility cloak, so I decided, to have each of the Jewels have their won, but the Marauders have to share James's. How else would the Jewels be able to pull their pranks without getting caught?)

"Good Morning James! How is our sleeping beauty?" Lily asked, her voice magnified a hundred times. If he hadn't been awake before, James was defiantly awake now! Looking around, James noticed what he was wearing, and that he was dancing ballet, and his face quickly became red.

"Lily Anne Evans! You put me down right now! Where are you?" James screamed. Sirius snapped a photo before Lily put James back down, and whipped off the cloak. "I am going to get you back for this." James warned.

"But, but Jamie." Lily whined "I was only trying to wake you up." She up on her best 'why-would-you-want-to-hurt-me' look and within seconds he caved and she beamed inwardly.

"It's good to have you back Lil's." James muttered into my hair as we hugged. James always looked out for me the most. I was definitely closer to Remus, but if I ever needed somebody to beat someone up for me, James would be there in a heart beat. I hug him tighter. It was good to be home.

A/N: Okay, the last one from before. I am going to be working on this and a couple of others, but I will in a couple days and it will be longer. Review please. No flames
