"Sirius!" cooed Róisín as she walked into the game room.
"Yes, I'm over here." he called while waving one of his hands in the air not breaking away from his game of chess with Remus who had arrived a few days ago. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist and whispered in his ear.
"Why don't you give up you are never going to win."
"Don't tell me if I am going to win or not because I can kick Lupin's ass any day."
"Not at chess silly." she then lowered her voice so Remus couldn't hear. "At the bet." with that comment he turned around and held her waist.
"How so?"
"You have a week and a half left and I have the rest of the summer."
"Yes, well what happens if they aren't together at the end of the summer who wins then?"
"I do."
"No you don't."
"Yes, I do."
"Yes you do."
"No I don . . . You tricked me! That's not fair!"
"I think it is plenty fair considering you had me agree to an open ended bet and you know I hate open ends, so maybe after this chess game we can erm, tie them up."
"I'll see you in fifteen?"
"Don't be late." he called as she walked away.
"She has you whipped man."
"No she doesn't Moony. Does she?"
"Totally, before her you were sleeping with a different girl every other night sometimes every night. Well, you have been with her for three months, it is a record and you would do anything she asked you to."
"I would wouldn't I?"
"Yes."
"Wait I just admitted that she has me whipped."
"Yes, but that's cause you love her, that's why you would do anything for her right."
"Yea, man I think I do love her." the boys then returned to there intense game of chess completely oblivious to what was going on around them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Róisín, what took you so long? Get stuck in a closet?" asked Nula as Róisín walked into Lily's gigantic bedroom.
"Holy crap this room is HUGE!" she exclaimed
"Yea, it's a bit too big if you ask me."
"Lily, you are insane you can never have a big enough room. I wish my room at home was this big."
"Well it isn't so get over it." a pillow then flew at Aoife's head and the girls started a pillow fight. After an hour of exhausting pillow fighting, the girls lay on the floor surrounded by feathers.
"This is a very unusual sight, I mean if someone waked in here right know they would think we just de-feathered a chicken."
"You mean a hundred chickens!"
"Aoife, you just gave me a brilliant idea." exclaimed Nula who had the most sinister grin on her face they had ever seen.
"The evil twin has awakened." screamed the girls before they went into a fit of giggles and listened to Nulas wonderful idea.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You know living in a house with hot girls for a whole summer is not as wonderful as I thought it would be."
"Well, Sirius that is because you have a girlfriend and she happens to be here."
"Well, ya but, erm I want food."
"Where did that come from?"
"I don't know but I want fooood because I'm hungry. Come on boys." he swung James and Remus around and marched out of the room with them close behind. As they reached the landing they saw the girls in the entrance hall with Gracie. The boys set off down the stairs pretending to ignore them until Gracie called them over.
"Boys! Boys!" she called in a singsong voice. "Come here, I need to discuss something with you."
"This better be good, you are taking time out of my eating time." muttered Sirius so only the two boys could hear him.
"Now, boys I have a guest coming for the next month, he is my son. . . ." she was cut off when Nula and Róisín interjected.
"We are really sorry Ms. Gracie but we need to use the bathroom, I am sure that Lily, and Aoife can fill us in on what is going to happen." they took off so fast no one could say a word to them.
"Anyway, my son is coming for the month of July and the beginning of August. He lives in America and doesn't know much about our culture so I was hoping you would help him. All of you." the boys cringed at this thought, helping someone out on there vacation time wasn't part of there plan.
"Sure Gracie all of us will help." announced Aoife receiving nothing but pissed looks from the boys.
"Excellent, he should be arriving soon; I hope you will all make him feel at home." With that said she let them be and as soon as she was out of hearing range Sirius went off on the girls.
"BLOODY HELL, why did you do that? We have to go off and make nicey nice to some kid who's probably ten years old and become his best friend. Thanks for letting us chose whether we wanted to or not!"
"Shove-it Black, for one thing her son is eighteen, and for another he is as bad as you three are when it comes to pranks so I am sure you will get along."
"How do you know all this Lily?"
"Well…I well, erm, you see…"
"Well, I told her." drawled a male voice from the foyer, the two girls turned around to face the boy that was walking into the room and were lost for words. Before them stood a very-handsome young man, he was tall and very well built, he had mousey brown hair and deep blue eyes, and his smile would make any girl melt.
"Kevin!" cried Lily as she walked over to him. "You look absolutely adorable."
"Yes, but you look fucking fabulous." this comment caused the guys to roll their eyes and snicker and Aoife sent them a evil glare.
"Oh come on. Stop you know that I am . . ." she never finished her sentence because a hand covered her mouth.
"You know I am telling the truth, stop trying to be modest Lily."
Lily mumbled words but no one could make them out because Kevin's hand was covering her mouth.
"What was that I couldn't hear you?" he asked removing his hand from over her mouth.
"I said you are as bad as you mother."
"Well everyone has there flaws but it seems I have found someone who doesn't" he smirked at his own comment
"Who might that be?" Lily asked coyly
"You my dear." He replied bending ever so close to her face and was about to kiss her when.
"Hello, we do exist over here." called James and extremely pissed off James.
Who the hell does he think he is coming in here and stealing my girl, I mean come on I was about to win her over. Except he has to come in and steal her away. Let the war begin, I have I feeling I can win
"Sorry, guys." apologized a very embarrassed Lily. "This is Kevin. Kevin I would like you to meet James, Aoife, Sirius, and Remus."
"Nice to meet you all. So…" he turned his attention to the boys. "Lily tells me you three are quite the pranksters?"
"Yea, but we work alone." snapped Sirius
"No need to get territorial." he shot back all the while resting a protective arm over Lily's shoulder, and then he bent down to Lily's ear and whispered something only she could hear. "I'm going to find mother, but find me later today so we can chill and stuff you know?" he kissed her cheek and left the hall.
"That was rude." Aoife's spat in a shocked voice
"What do you mean that was rude?" came Lily's equally shocked voice.
"Well, Sirius had no reason to snap at him and he had no reason to give Sirius the 'Lily's my territory stay away' look."
"He did not."
"Oh, yes he did." drawled Remus' voice that shut-her up for all of about a nano-second.
"Are you serious? You guys aren't jealous are you!? How can you lot be jealous of a guy that I haven't seen for ten years."
"Seems like you are closer than ever though." remarked James
"Well, erm, I guess that's true, but he writes to me so what am I supposed to do ignore him?"
"You could."
"But, I am not you so therefore I wouldn't ignore him. Besides I don't like him that way so you don't have to worry about losing your best friend." she pointed to Aoife "Or the main object of your pranks. I'm not going anywhere I promise. Now come on its lunch time and I know I don't want to miss it."
"Here, here this girl speaks my language. Come on Lily-kins to the kitchen." demanded Sirius while draping his arm over a laughing Lily and dragging her to the kitchens with the other three in tow. All the while not noticing that everything they said was over-heard by Kevin.
"Well, Miss. Evans I will have you and you will be forced to break your promise because I will marry you like mother promised and you will come live in the states with me. This I promise. Until dinner my sweet." At that he swept down the corridor an evil plan forming in his head. Dinner was going to be lots of fun.
