A/N Right I'm going to put up the remaining chapters when I can, so there could be a two month gap between chapters or it might be 4 in 2 weeks.

Enjoy and Review

Chapter 8
I'm thinking about the fireworks

'Yo Lily-sun.'

'Yes Bruce Lee?' I turn and wait for him to catch up with me

'Who's he?' Sirius asks, puzzled

'He was a martial act - actory dude.' I tell him

'Right... okay then. I want to throw a party.' He informs me

'Well you can.' I reply sarcastically

'No, no...I want your help.' He tells me

'Okay, what do you want me to do?' I ask

'Well I think we all need a pick-me-up after everything, and who better to throw it than the mauraders!'

'Fine, but what has this got to do with me?' I waunder outloud at him.

'Well we were thinking of having it in your dorm.' He says sheepishly

'ahhh.'

'yeah, soo...'

I glance up at him, and sigh, 'I guess.'

He jumps up happily, kisses me on my forehead and runs off skipping. Sometimes he really scares me.

'I heard that we're having a party.' Alice plopps herself down next to me on the sofa

'Really? I had no idea.' I joke, leaning futher back into the sofa

She smiles at me then glances around the Griffindor common room. Seeing that no one else is here, she says, 'Lils can I ask you something?'

I think about making a joke, but the way she says it and the look she has in her eyes, stops me, 'of course, you never have to ask Al'

'I know, I just feel odd about asking you,' She says embarresed

'Ally, you're my best friend. Ask.' I tell her

She doesn't say anything for a few minutes, 'You and James are solid, aren't you?'

I turn my head to look at her, 'Now yeah. After everything we...came out the other end. But yeah, I would say so.' I pause and look at her, 'Why?'

'It's Frank.'

'Frank? Your boyfriend who is obsessively in love with you since you were 13? That Frank?' I ask, startled at the direction this conversation is going

'Yeah.' She says in a quiet subdued voice

I move closer to her and put my hand on her knee, 'Ally? What is it.'

'He's been acting really odd, he's distant even when he's there. We're still doing everything we normally do but..' She sniffs

'Ally,' I squeeze her knee, 'Now I do realise that this is me, the Run-away girlfriend.' She laughs very weakly at that, 'but talk to him, your Alice and Frank. Talk to him.'

'But..' she trys to say

'Ally, I haven't seen you like this in years, whatever is going on with him, you have to talk to him.'

'So where do we start?' James asks me. We're sat at a table in the far end of the library, late at night

'Lists.' I tell him, pulling out a piece of parchment and a quill, 'What do we know?'

'Ummm.' He tries to think, 'Dumbledore, Moody and McGonagall are in some sort of secret organisation.' I'm writting as he talks, 'Against Voldermort, They sort of employed us. And well thats it.' he finishes sounding dejected

'Dumbledore hates Voldermort, he looked like he had some sort of power - so are we saying he's at the helm.' He nods in agreement, 'and there has to be more than those 3.'

'But that's a lot of possible magical people that could be involved.'

'yeah..' I say quietly in responce. I tap the quill against the wood, thinking. 'Pure-bloods.' I declare after a moment

'What? explain.'

'The amount of people we have to go though to find the other people involved is massive. Who's most likely to get involved in fighting him - 'Blood traitors'

He sits there with his mouth open, 'Okay, 'blood traitors'

'Well there's you'

'but I'm the only one.'

'The Weasely's or the Prewitts' I tell him

He sits there thinking, while I try not to interrupt him, 'Well that's sorted then.' he declares standing up and picking up my bag from the floor.

'huh?' I look up at him puzzled, as he swiftly takes my paper and quill from under me, stuffing them in my bag

'Come on,' he instructs me to hurry up.

'What, are you going to get boils if you stay in here for too long?' I joke

He gives me a withering look as we walk pass the books.

'Anyway...why can we leave?' I ask, as we walk past a group of 5th years heads being swallowed by books.

'Oh, I know Arthur and Molly Weasley.' He says, 'I'll bag an invite to tea.' he informs me nonchalantly.

I look at him, 'You can't do that.'

Looking at me, he shakes his head,'oh Lily.'

'So Padfoot, does this party have a theme?' Peter asks, stuffing food into his mouth.

'Let's get completely smashed' Sirus replies offhandily.

'Great.' Ais smiles.

'You picked a day yet.' I ask him.

'Na, don't fret little lils, a date will be picked, give me time.' He pats my head.

Batting him away, James walks up behind and leans over me, whispering 'on Saturday at 11.'

As he takes his seat next to me, Sirius glances from me to him, 'What is going on?' he asks acusingly

'Dont fret little Siri.' I joke, patting his head as he scowls at me.
