-----
The three girls found themselves surrounded by all their friends from school. It was everyone. Well fifth years and up. And only Ravenclaw's, Hufflepuff's and of course Gryfinndor's. Slytherins weren't invited.
Lily wore her hair down straight, with a white haltered dress, that came to mid-thigh. It was her favorite summer dress. She had gone with Marcy and Kela a few weeks ago and got it.
Marcy wore a light pink tank top with a mini jean skirt. He hair was straight in a half pony tail. And had flip flops on like Lily.
Kela decided to wear a black haltered shirt that had a deep v-neck, with jean short-shorts. She had her long blonde and blue hair in soft curls that surrounded her face perfectly. She too wore flip flops.
"Wow! Don't you ladies look lovely tonight." Sirius commented as he and his fellow marauders walked over to where the three Gryfinndors girls stood sipping their drinks.
"Why thank you Black. You don't look to bad yourself." Lily smiled sweetly. She had to admit to herself that none of the boys looked bad. Each was wearing a simple summer dress shirt with a pair of casual swim shorts. Lily really liked the way they looked on Potter. His hair just seemed so touchable tonight.
"I try." James smirked.
Lily cast him a glare.
'Shit.' Thought James. 'I just got in her good books.'
-----
The party was in full swing. People were dancing, talking and diving into the pool. Lily sat off to the side simply watching people interact. It never seized to amaze her how people acted or how girls acted around the marauders.
"How's it going so far?" A familiar voice said from behind the red headed witch.
Lily smiled. "Not bad. It looks like a clear night tonight."
Remus shook his head agreeing. He was happy it was, since only a few dreadful nights before was the full moon. Something that he never looked forward to since he had become a werewolf so long ago. "Yeah. It's not bad. Have you drunk anything yet?"
Lily looked at Remus. "I'm honestly kinda scared to try Sirius' concoctions. They look dreadful."
Remus shrugged. "They're not bad. Remember Lils', don't judge a book by its cover." A slow song came on. "Would you like this dance?"
Lily extended her hand on his. They had become very close over the course of their studies. Not boyfriend, girlfriend, but rather like a brother and sister. "I'd love too."
They danced slowly. "So where's Marcy?"
"Dancing with Sirius."
"Really. And you trust him with her."
"I trust Sirius with my life. He may be a goof sometimes, but he's dreadfully loyal. That's why his an..."
Lily stopped dancing. "His what?"
Remus' eyes went huge. He had just about let slip the marauder's biggest secret. After so long, and the work that they had put into it. He just about let out the whole thing. "His... That's why he is... My best friend."
Lily looked at Remus. She knew that, that wasn't what Remus Lupin was going to say, but she also knew that she would never be able to get something out of him. Especially if it involved his fellow marauders. They went back to dancing.
-----
Kela stood talking to Will Carmen. He was a fellow seventh year, but a Ravenclaw. He had gorgeous green eyes, with soft blonde hair that just always seemed to fall right.
"So what have you be'en up to this summer?" Will asked placing his arm around her waist. He maneuvered her over to the now vacated swing.
"A bit of everything. Watching my brothers and sisters. Hanging out with the boys and Lils' and Marc." Kela smiled looking up into his gorgeous tanned face. "How about you?"
"I went to France for a few weeks in July. Then came home two weeks ago. Just been lying about the house and hanging with Charles and Craig" Will smiled. "You have the most beautiful eyes. Did anyone ever tell you that?"
"No." Kela blushed.
Will leaned down. "Well they should of. Every day." He leaned in farther and farther. Finally placing his lips on hers. She breathed in, not sure of what to expect. He smelled of cologne that made Kela want to melt right there.
Finally they broke apart, both with smiles on their faces.
-----
A familiar face walked down into the garden where the party was. It was someone who no one that is Lily, Marcy, Kela or the marauders had invited. He was someone who just wasn't good company.
Logan strutted down the walk way. Looking around at all the new prey.
Lily stood talking to a couple of girls in their fifth year from Gryfinndors. She turned her head to see the brown haired boy, with a smirk. 'Oh no.' Lily thought. She excused herself from the girls.
"What the bloody hell do you think you are doing here?" Lily asked heatedly as she walked over to the cocky boy.
"Well hello to you too." Logan looked down from his 6'2" stature.
Lily straightened herself to her full height. "You weren't invited. Get the hell out. NOW!"
Logan began to say something but was interrupted.
"You heard the lady. Get the hell out." James came up from behind Lily to make sure nothing happened.
Logan looked around to see the rest of the marauders heading over and realized that he better leave. Since he even knew to never be at the receiving end of their wands. It wasn't pretty.
"Fine. You win this time, Potter. But watch your back." Logan spat and walked back out where he came in.
"Thank you, James. I wasn't sure he was going to listen to me." Lily spoke softly as people began to mingle again.
James smiled. "My pleasure. But I think you had it well under hand. Just thought he needed the little extra kick in the arse."
Lily laughed at James' antics. You could tell that he truly had a good heart.
James' heart melted as he heard the wonderful sounds of Lily's laugh. It suited her perfectly. This was one of the first times that James had been in such close contact with her to here it perfectly. Usually he was straining to hear it from across the jam packed common room.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked taking a risk.
Lily bit her lip. She looked up directly into his eyes. "I'd love too."
Leading the way to the dance area the two danced the rest of the night until the guests began to leave.
-----
"I haven't had so much fun, like this, in such a long time." Lily boasted as the girls gathered some of the garbage from around the pool. It was now 3:30am in the morning and everyone seemed to be gone except for Marcy, Kela, Lily and of course the marauders, minus Peter who had to be home for 1:00am.
Kela blushed to herself. "I know me too."
Marcy smirked. "By the way Kela, that swing was comfy. But I don't think I'll ever be able to sit there again after what I saw with my own two eyes."
Kela's eyes went big. "What did you see?"
"What do you think I saw?"
Kela shrugged trying to act stupid. "I don't know."
Lily listened to her two best friends. "Oh would you two please, fill me in here."
"KELA WAS MAKING OUT WITH WILL CARMEN ON THE SWING!!"
Lily's eyes went huge. "Are you serious?"
"I am one hundred percent serious."
"Actually, I am one hundred percent Sirius in case you've forgotten." Sirius said as the boys walked over to where the girls stood.
James tried to act casual but inside he was bursting with joy over how successful the night had been, Especially in the red headed department.
"Haha. Funny." Marcy rolled her eyes and walked over to Remus. "But we weren't talking about you. No. We were talking about our lovely Key-key here who made out with, oh who Lily?"
"None other then Will Carmen. On the swing over there I might add." Lily pointed to the swing.
Sirius scrunched his nose. "Eww! Now I am never ever going to be able to put my wonderful buttox on it again, jeeze Chellioh (Chill-e-oh)."
Kela slapped him on the arm. "Shut up, Black!"
Sirius smirked. He grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder. "You just told me to shut up. And now I think that you deserve to go for a little bit of a swim."
Kela screamed. "Lily, Marc. HELP!"
Lily and Marcy fell over from laughing so hard. "Sorry hon, but you got yourself into this one so you can get yourself out of this one."
"Ahh!!" Kela screamed as a huge splash was heard. Not just Kela went into the water, Sirius was pulled in violently by the blonde and blue haired girl. "Sirius you are so going to pay!" She dunked him under the water.
"Wow! Don't you just love our friends?" Marcy laughed as the other four watched from the side lines.
"They are pretty great." Lily replied smiling. She just couldn't wipe the smirk off her face. The whole night seemed to be so magical. She had the time of her life.
James nudged Lily in the side. "Do you wanna come with me and get some cocoa?"
Lily nodded happy to go with him. "Yeah that sounds great."
The two walked into the kitchen to see a familiar owl perched on the counter. "Isn't that Marcy's owl?"
James shook his head 'yes'. "Were you guys supposed to be back earlier?"
"I don't think so." Lily walked over and grabbed the letter from the owl's leg. It was addressed to all three of them.
It read: Girls,
There was an attack tonight. Both of us had to go and help. We talked to the Potters and they agree
that you six should all stay at James' together. We'll be by tomorrow afternoon to make sure that
everything is all right. But remember that boys in one room and girls in another. I mean it. Love you all,
George and Kayley Studoler
"There was an attack tonight. We're supposed to stay here tonight with you guys. But girls are supposed to be in one room while boys in another." Lily joked as James read the letter over.
"Ok. Well I'll show you the room once everyone gets here." James smiled. He couldn't believe his luck, not only had the girl of his dreams agree to come to the party, early, actually talk with him and flirt a little, but now she was actually staying the whole night at his house. It was amazing.
"We should go tell the others." Lily said as she grabbed three glasses of cocoa. James did the same and followed her out the door onto the deck.
