Lily came outside glaring at the Marauders working on some vehicle under a tree in her new husband's back garden.

"Sirius Black what is that monstrosity you are working on?"

"Its a 1973 Dodge Charger. The motor's blown so we have to pull it and do a complete rebuild." The young man said smiling winsomely at the redhead.

"James? Why are they doing this under a tree and not in the garage?"

"Well you see its all about the culture of the muscle car. Sirius says this is more traditional and helps with the magical balance of the enchantments he's going to put on the car."

"How did you even get that thing here?"

"Well I bought it at a Mount Prospect police auction and James had it shipped here. Easy Peesy." Sirius grinned.

Lily turned her irate glare on Remus, "I thought you were the responsible one of the group?"

"Well I at least made him use safety chains when pulling the engine." Remus tried smiling at her.

"Why do you even want such a loud, obnoxious beast of a car anyhow?" Lily sighed throwing her hands in the hair.

"Well Sirius said we could get chicks with this as it'll be a real pussy wagon when he's done fixing it up." Peter declared causing Lily to turn on James.

"Your friends are going to be the death of me yet James Potter."

Sliding his arm around her waist James led her back into the house, "Let me make it up to you my dear. I'm sure Sirius and the others can handle it without me." James said nuzzling that spot on her neck she enjoyed.

"As long as you get to borrow it to take me for a ride when he gets it finished." She grinned.

"So you're not really mad?"

"Of course not. But they don't need to know that." She said throwing her arms around his neck, "Now I do believe there is another engine revving that needs dealt with."

"Yes ma'am." James grinned.
