Come for tea? Two-ish? I know Fabian's working today.

Molly

Loralei smiled. She did like Molly, and her children were absolutely the most adorable children she had ever seen. It was not everyday that Loralei met someone so sweet and kind and not treating her like a child since she was much younger than Molly. She sent a quick reply saying that she'd be there, and went downstairs to find something to do in the meantime.

"Going out?" James asked as she came into the kitchen. Sirius was sitting at a barstool on the passthrough behind the sink.

"How'd you know?" Loralei replied, she had forgiven him for being a jerk to her, but he seemed to think that she needed his forgiveness for the choices she made.

"You have a bag." He said, motioning to her green purse that had its strap crossed across her chest.

She shrugged.

"I thought you said you had nothing to do today," Sirius said nonchalantly, picking at a string on his shirt.

"I didn't, but Molly owled and asked me over for tea." Loralei smiled. "I like her."

"Getting along with his family then?" James said. "You never tried to get along with Padfoot's."

"Sirius doesn't get along with his own family." Loralei laughed. "Let it go James."

"Lor-"

"Let it go James, it's getting old." Sirius told him.

Oh, him he will listen to, but not Loralei.

She rolled her eyes. "Play nice, James, our parents do like him."

"They can make mistakes." James muttered.

Loralei had to fight not to roll her eyes again. "What did I say about playing nice?"

He pouted at her, not saying a word.

She smiled sweetly. "I'll be back around four, and then I'm going to Fab's after dinner."

"He's not taking you out?" James asked.

"He's been working all day, we're just going to hang out." She defended.

"So straight to the sex then?" James snapped.

Loralei's smile went from sweet to evil. "I was trying to be less obvious."

Sirius closed his eyes, which made Loralei feel bad, even though she thought she had no reason to.

"Anyway, since you're not playing nice, I'm going to go back to my room, see you freaks later." She didn't mean "freaks" as an insult, it was actually an endearment. She walked back out of the kitchen, deciding she wasn't hungry and ran up the stairs.

"Hey, mate, think about it this way, it seems like they're whole relationship is sex and that never works out." James said.

"She's happy." Sirius told him. "Plus, you need to lay off that stuff, that's only going to make her hate you. We had a good talk last weekend, and we might be able to be friends."

"You don't want to be just friends." James reminded him.

"So? You need to trust someone to be friends with them, and if she trusts me, and likes me, it might be more. It's better than stalking her and asking her out all the bloody time."

"Hey, Lily did almost kiss me last month." James said.

"To make fun of you!" Sirius replied. "Try to get her to trust you then you might get a shot, I agree with Loralei on that."

"Fine, but let's make it a bet. I bet that Lily and I get together before you and Lore." James said.

Sirius shook his head. "No."

"Why not?"

"Because it doesn't work like that, you have more of a shot than I do."

"We have the same. Lily hates me for the same reason Loralei broke up with you."

Sirius shook his head. "Doesn't matter, Loralei only dates guys that didn't hurt her. I did. Prewett didn't. Who knows how long they will last."

"Cheer up. Remus even said that she still loves you."

"Yeah, he also said that she loves Prewett too."

"Look on the bright side." James told him. "Brooding isn't a good look on you."

Sirius rolled his eyes at his best friend. "You look on the bright side. Loralei forgives you for everything, and you don't even try to be nice to her for it, and she still forgives you after that. Do what she says and just play nice. Remember what she said to you last year? Lily likes having likable people around her, and you're not all that likable right now."

James rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah. Wanna go help Moony set up for the full moon next week?"

"Yeah, I'm not missing out on another one." Sirius said, standing up and leaning back to crack the bones in his back. "Let's go."

"So how long until he says hello to the world?" Loralei asked.

"Soon," Molly told her. "Do you want to feel him kick?"

Loralei nodded, reaching forward to feel the slight movement under her skin. "Does it feel weird?"

"On your third kid, not so much, but he does like keeping me awake at two in the morning." She laughed.

"That must be terrible." Loralei said. "I love sleeping, can't get enough this summer."

"I was the same way when I was in school. Have you gotten your OWL results yet?"

Loralei shook her head. "First week in August, so next week."

"What do you think you got?" Molly asked.

Loralei closed her eyes, she already knew from a dream. "I didn't fail any."

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah, and that's not me being cocky, it's the fact that I barely slept at all last year, everyone thought the bags were permanently under my eyes by March."

Molly laughed. "What are you going to be?"

Loralei shrugged. "I have three potential jobs. I could get into the Auror Academy easily with my grades and with recommendation letters, same with Healing, and Professor Cassandra wants me to be the Divination teacher so she can retire."

"So you're good at Divination?" Molly asked.

"Yeah, it's been my favorite class since I started taking it third year." Loralei told her. "I never got below an E in it, and that was when I was knocked out for a few days because a bludger hit me."

"Not bad, I barely passed it." Molly told her.

"I have the inner eye." Loralei teased.

"Then tell me what I'm going to name my kid." Molly challenged playfully.

"Really?" Loralei replied. "Do you want me to try?"

Molly nodded. "Let's see if you can."

"Percy." Loralei told her. "Do you want his birthday too?"

"Did Fabian tell you that?" Molly asked.

Loralei shook her head slowly. "August twenty-second."

"Is that a promise?" Molly asked, in awe.

Loralei nodded.

"You're a seer?"

Loralei smiled.

"You are, aren't you? That's why your Divination teacher wants you to take over." Molly said. "Have you seen anything else about me?"

Loralei shook her head. "I don't really see much about certain people. It'r rare when I see something like test scores, or the name of a child."

"What do you usually see?"

"Things that want to change, or that is going to be a big thing for a lot of people." Loralei told her.

"Do you want to share any?"

"You're going to make Fabian godfather, I think." Loralei told her. "Am I right?"

Molly nodded, impressed. "We're going to ask him next week."

"It's because I'm magical." Loralei quipped.

"Well at least if you work at Hogwarts I know my kids won't be taught by a fraud." Molly smiled.

"Yeah, well...we'll see." Loralei smiled.

Molly bit her lip for a second. "What do you think is going to happen with the war?"

"A lot of people are going to die." Loralei told her. "But I think that we're going to win. Voldemort's going down."

"You say his name?"

"My family does, so does Dumbledore."

She nodded in agreement. "When do you think it's going to end?"

Loralei shrugged. "It changes. But as I said, nothing is really set in stone. Sometimes the future wants to change."

Molly looked away. "That's scary to think about."

"I know, trust me I know."
