Chapter 15: Summer Holiday & Back to School

When we got to Kings Cross we said our good-byes. Then I left and found Sky out side waiting for me.

"Hey ready?"

I smiled at him and nodded. He had a nice car he opened the door for me and I got in. We made our way to the his place. I would be staying with him till a mouth before school would start. I told him I would go and perform but I wanted mouth before school started to see my friends and relax.

I wanted to settle in my new home. He said that would be fine. We were going to meet up with the rest of the 'Pack' at his place then take a portkey to America. Most of our gigs was in America so I wouldn't be able to owl my friends a lot. I wasn't looking forward to going back there but the pay was going to be good.

When I finally walking into my house for the first time. I let Shadow rome around by him self. I changed back to my old self but I looked different as I looked in the mirror. My hair was so long now that I had to cut it to my shoulders.

My piercing didn't help. I had my nose, lip and one of my eyebrows pierced. Even after I took them off I still didn't look like me. I walked to my room and wrote a letter to my mates telling them I was back and if they wanted to meet up.

I sent my new owl named Fred. I walked out to the back yard I had a pool put in. I was going to learn to swim or die trying. But I think I was going to die first. I looked over the few acres to see four boys flying on there brooms. I was in shorts and a sports bra. One of the boys looked over at me.

I couldn't tell what they were saying but they landed and started to walk over to me. I sat at the table waiting for them. When they got closer to me they stopped and just stared at me. Then.

"Mercy is that you?"

"How the hell did you buy this house."

"Its good to see you."

"We missed you."

Is what I got when they saw me. Then they ran to me and hugged me.

"When did you cut your hair?"

Sirius said looking at me with shock.

"Just a few minutes ago."

I said as we sat back down.

"But how did you by this place?"

James said looking at me.

"My mum's family had gold so when they died she got everything. And when she died I got every thing. This place didn't even put a dint in the gold I have left."

He looked at me with new eyes.

"So when did you get back?"

I looked at Peter.

"Just a few minutes ago. I just sent you all letters saying I'm back and to see if you wanted to meet up."

I started to giggle. They looked at me.

"You look different."

Remus said as he looked me up and down.

"I know. But I cant figure out what has changed or if I really changed or not. Maybe I look different because we haven't seen me in a long time."

I put my head on Remus's shoulder and took in his scent.

"Why are you smiling for?"

Sirius said as he eyes me.

"I just missed your guys scents. They make me feel better and safe."

I know it sounded stupid but that's what I felt.

"That's sweet wicked."

James said but he was trying not to laugh. I looked at him.

"If you don't want a huge wolf on your chest then shut you mouth."

He stopped sniggering. That might have been cause I let my wolf out a little. "Don't worry I wont eat you."

We all busted out laughing.

"Could we go swimming?"

Sirius asked me. I looked at the pool.

"Sure be my gust."

They all started to pull of there clothes just leaving there boxers on. They jumped in and I was enjoining watching them.

"Aren't you going to come in to?"

James said as he turned to look at me.

"Not right now you guys have fun. I go and make you all something to eat."

Then I got up and walked inside. I loved my kitchen it was huge. I started to cut the food and cook it. When I was done the boys was getting out of the pool. I had brought out towels for them while the food was cooking.

"Mmm that smell great."

Remus said as he sat down and started to eat. The rest said the same and started to eat. I eat while I was cooking so I just sat down and watched them.

"You look like a mother watching over her baby's."

James said. I smiled at him.

"With you and Sirius some one has to do it."

I started to chuckle so did Remus and Peter. The other two didn't look happy but they didn't say anything.

"So when we done eating can we look around your place?"

Remus ask me. I smiled at him.

"Sure you can help your self to what ever you want besides anything in my room. I will know if someone goes in with out asking me."

Cause I put up a barrier. But they didn't know that.

"Thanks love."

Remus said making me blush a bit.

"Whats mine is yours cause we are mates."

So when there were done I showed them around. They loved my game room even though it was mostly muggle games.

James wanted to learn to play a video game. So most of the time I was teaching them how to play. It was getting late and they didn't want to go.

I told them they could stay the night cause I had a lot of room. James smiled and said he had to ask his mum.

So he flew back to his house then came back with every ones stuff. I showed them there room.

For the next mouth we hung out and had fun. Remus was really friendly with me when the others weren't around. He didn't want to let me go and I was loving it. Thirteen is a crazy age when boys start see girl for clearly.

The others were playing in the game room and Remus and I were in the movie room watching movies. We were laying down and he had his arms around me.

I snuggled up against him making him really happy. I was getting bored with the movie so I rolled over to looked at him.

"Getting bored with the movie?"

I nodded and kissed him.

"Mmm I could get use to this."

I smiled into our kiss. Remus move so that I was on top of him still snogging. Then I heard foot steps. I groaned and rolled off him on to the floor. He looked at me then he heard the door open and saw them walk in.

"Why are you on the floor Mercy?"

I started to laugh.

"Remus pushed me off when he was laying down."

Remus started to laugh too.

"Oh I see. So we wanted to ask if you want to come with us tomorrow to get our school stuff together?"

I looked at Remus and I nodded. Then I got up and sat on Remus's legs. He smiled and pulled them away before I could pin him.

They stayed in the room with us so we couldn't finish. So I just sat next to him playing with his hand.

He smiled at me and I smiled back. I bumped his shoulder with mine. I couldn't help it but I started to giggle. I had to stuff my face in to a pillow. It took me a while to stop but when I did and looked up every one was looking at me.

"Whats wrong with you?"

James asked. I looked at him.

"I'm not telling. It's a girl thing."

Sirius smiled at me.

"But your not a girl you more of a tomboy."

He was sitting on the floor in front of me. Then I jumped on him pinning him to the ground.

"A tomboy is still a girl. If you like how your face is then you should shut up." Then I got up and left the room. I didn't mind being a tomboy but it hurt then he said that. I don't know why I got so pissed off.

Its not like he never called me a tomboy before. I found my self in the kitchen. I sat on the floor and pulled out a knife made of silver.

I touched the blade and it burned my hand. I met werewolf in America that was like me but I was still different. I dug the knife in to the floor then I heard someone calling my name.

It was Remus but I didn't call out. I wanted to be alone but he found me. He sat next to me and saw the burn on my hand.

"Are you ok?"

I looked down at the knife.

"I'm fine just don't know why I lost it back there."

I wanted to hit something.

"It might be cause of the full moon is tomorrow night."

I forgot that the full moon was tomorrow.

"You might be right Remus."

I put my head on his lap as I laid down. He played with my hair I started to calm down. Then I looked up at him.

"Come with me."

I pulled him up as I walked to my room. He looked at my huge bed as I laid down. "Please lay with me."

He laid with me and I snuggled up against him. He wrapped his arms around me and I closed my eyes. Remus hummed as I fell asleep.

We walked around Diagon Alley getting our stuff.

"This year we need dress robes and why didn't you get a dress Mercy?"

James ask. But before I could answer Sirius said.

"Cause she doesn't need one. Tomboys don't wear dresses."

I didn't say anything but walked on. I didn't feel like fighting. I walked into Quality Quidditch Supplies. I heard Sirius said.

"Why is she going in there for?"

James just shrugged and followed me. I looked at the brooms and found the best one and got it.

"Why did you buy a broom for?"

I looked at James.

"If you read the letter all the way threw you would know that this year Gryffindor is going to need new Quidditch players. I'm going to go out for it."

Then I walked away heading back to the fire place to go back home. They followed me. I walked into the fire place with a hand full a floo powder. Then said.

"Wolf Manner"

Then I was spinning then when I was back at my house. I walked out and waited for the rest to come. Remus was the first to come back.

I smiled and walked to my room and put my stuff up. Remus came in to my room.

"Are you really going to go for Quidditch?"

I looked at him and smiled.

"Yes I am. I like Quidditch and I want to be part of our team."

He nodded and pulled me into his arms. I smiled reached up and kissed his lips. Remus pulled me closer to his body.

My hand went from around his neck to his hair twisting it and pulling it softly. He let out a groan as we pressed our body's up against each other.

Then we heard the boys come up the stairs. I let out a groan of despair and pulled away.

"Don't worry we can sneak off at school."

He kissed me one more time then we both walked out of my room. I so cant wait to go back to school to be alone with Remus.
