The Jewels
Good To Be Back
"Now!" Sirius said, clapping his hands together loudly, grabbing everyone's attention. "How about some breakfast?" The room was silent for a split second before they all burst out laughing. Sirius's stomach was infamous. He was ALLWAYS hungry. Seriously. He had never turned down food. And he never grew fat. He looked anorexic. That was probably from all the quid itch that he played. Many a teenage girl had grumbled at how all little kids got all the lucky, or some such nonsense. To which Sirius would promptly sick out his tongue at them and tell them to shut up while the others stood behind him rolling their eyes.
"Of course King Siri" Catta-Leigh said with a giggle. Ever since they could talk they had been playing this game. Nobody else was allowed to play, though everybody knew of the game and all the kids wanted to play it. But they were never allowed. This game, you see, was very special. In it, they pretended that they were great Kings and Queens, and that they ruled all things, magic and nonmagic. It was a very special game to them. The fact that that they would not let anyone else play did not go unnoticed by their parents. The parents had tried to make them lets others join, but their attempts were in vain. The siblings had never been stupid. They knew that most people only liked them because the siblings were A) Rich B) Pranksters (though people only knew that half of them were such) and C) "Popular". They didn't trust anyone outside of their little group enough to become close to them, although they did have other friends. Anyway, getting off topic. With a matching pair of devilish grins, the two screamed at the same time "BEAT YOU THERE" and ran off down the hallway, skidding around the corner. James turned to Crystal and bowed low.
"My dear, darling baby sister, would you mind to terribly much accompanying your older brother in breaking his fast?" He asked in the most grown -up voice he could muster, which didn't work to well. Crystal rolled her eyes, but a smile lit up her face. Her brother and her were very close to each other, and loved each other very much. They were very much alike, and were, as their friends had dubbed them, the King and Queen of Dorks. So, she curtsied and layed her hand on top of him, floating down the hallway. Remus and Lily looked at each other and snorted, shaking their heads.
"Sometimes, I don't know why I put up with the lot of them. We are the only normal ones of the group!" Remus exclaimed as he and Lily linked arms and walked off down the hall.
"Yeah, but you have to love them. I mean, we aren't that much more normal than them. I doubt anyone else would ever classify ANY of us as normal. I mean, come on, do you know any full grown wizard that can do wandless, silent magic? 'Cause if you do, why haven't you told me before?! They could really help me!" Lily mock slapped him and Remus chuckled.
"No, I don't. I also don't know any other werewolves that have been accepted into a school of magic. By the way, have I ever thanked you and your dad for that? If not than thanks. If it weren't for the two of you, I would be stuck at home for the next seven years while the five off you go off to school!" Remus gushed.
"Yes you have, though you shouldn't. I mean, daddy's never been prejudice to werewolves, but the second you were bitten, he knew he had to fix things, We are just lucky that he is minister and that everybody loves him. And even if he hadn't convinced the Wizamount to fix the whole problem with people who have "fury little problems", I am sure Grampa Albus would have allowed you into Hogwarts. I mean, he is always saying that the six of us are his grandkids, even though I am the only one who actually is, and I doubt he would have kept you out of school. Besides, Auntie Minnie wouldn't have let him. " Lily rambled.
"True. But still, thanks. I mean it. By the way, that prank on James was bloody awesome." Here Remus was interrupted with a reprimand from Lily about his language "Where did you learn those spells?" Lily grinned and pulled a book out of her pocket, magically enlarging it as she goes.
"They had a great book shop in the magical part of Chicago, this city in America. I got a ton of books. This, though, was by far my favorite. It is full of pranking spells!" Lily exclaimed. They two of them buried themselves in the book, and didn't even notice that they had come to the kitchen till they bumped into something. Looking up they saw James and Crystals dad.
"Now, you two, what have I told you about reading and walking?" Mr. Potter asked sternly.
"You never know what or who you could run into while reading a book. For all you know, you might run into some foreign dignitary and offend them, and then you would put their country and England into a state of war, which we really don't need." Remus and Lily recited without blinking. Mr. Potter nodded and reached for the book.
"We really are sorry Mr. Potter, it wont happen again, we promise. I was just showing Remy the spell to the prank I pulled on Jamie this morning." Lily said, looking like a innocent angel. Mr. Potters face lit up.
"PRANK?!" He roared. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?! I am assuming hat you have proof do you not?" Mr. Potter looked like Christmas had some early. Remus and Lily nodded and showed his the picture that had developed in the short time since the prank had occurred. Everyone who was in the kitchen (Minus Mrs. Potter, Mrs. Lupin, and James) fell over laughing.
"It isn't funny." James muttered under his breath.
"Of course it isn't hunny." Mrs. Potter said soothingly, though the corners of her mouth were twitching upwards.
"No, it most certainly isn't. John, you aren't seriously trying to tell me that you are condoning this behavior!" Mrs. Lupin said to her husband.
"Emily," Mr. Lupin said soothingly "It isn't like I could punish her, even if I wanted to. She isn't my daughter. Besides, you have to admit, the child is genius. I mean, I couldn't even pull that magic off for Pete's sake!"
"Yeah mom." Remus chimed in "If the girls were to make their own prank group, they could give us AND the Jewels a run for our money with Lily. But, of course, they never would. To goody-goody." The Jewels shared amused glances with each others, one that everybody else failed to see.
"By the way." Mr. Potter said, his voice filled with curiosity "Have you figured out who those girls are yet?" The boy shook their heads sadly. "Well, when you do, tell me, alright?" And with that, everybody went back to their breakfast. One final thought passed through Lily's brain before she turned to a heated debate with Mr. Lupin and Mr. Potter. 'It's good to be home.'
