Baby you're as cold as ice. --July 30

So I had gotten everyone together to go bowling. I had a plan to get Emily set up with Remus. He deserves a nice girl. We had to get everyone together he needs to see that other people find him attractive and friendly and kind hearted. Everything combined, of course James had to think I was crazy. I had finished getting ready told my dad I was leaving. I had some reason been spoken into going to the Potters before we pick up Emily.

Leaving my house getting to the Potter's I knocked on the door as Emily was going to get picked up by the lot of us.

I was in the washroom at my new home for a while now and knew we were being taken out bowling. " So what is the point of this game" I asked loudly.

I heard sirius moaning about the game and rolled my eyes.  I was happy that I had been invited along (even though James wasn't pleased).  I pulled my hair up into a pony tail and finished putting on my makeup. I heard a knock and went down to answer it while James and sirius spoke about this daft game.

I opened it to see Lily and I grinned. "The girls are still getting ready," I teased letting her in.

I looked at Sirius and shrugged.  "I have no clue," I said to him.  "I guess it has balls or something.  But if you're not flying, I don't see how it could be much fun."  I really did not want Ember to tag along, but after she found out that she was adopted over the summer, I figured I could not argue so much about it.  She needed to feel like she belonged.

Well, it was time to get the group to go bowling.  Even though Dad and I mainly lived as wizards, we enjoyed keeping in touch with the Muggle side of things.  My grandparents were halfbloods so had some muggle tendencies anyways.  And then there was our own little hope of keeping in touch with my other side of heritage.  My dad and I actually try to bowl every summer a few times with each other.

I fastened the buttons on my knit cardigan and wrapped a scarf around my neck.  I looked at Peter, who stayed with us the night before because his mum would not have been able to help him get there.  "Ready?" I questioned, knowing that my mate would be.  We were just going to Floo over to the Potters.

"So that sounds boring. " I said as I looked around as we were finished getting ready so what was the harm. I could find something to do if I got bored there is girls around there so I could get something done.

I nodded at Sirius.  "Definitely," I said to him.  "I'm only going because, well, Evans."  It was not like that fact was not obvious.  "And Remus thinks we'd be entertaining.  You know Peter was excited to go bowling... I guess it's a big deal for Muggles."  Even though I had no idea how it could be any fun without broomsticks.

I looked at Remus and nodded.  "Thanks for having me, Mr. Lupin," I said politely as I always did whenever I stayed at the Lupins'.  I followed Remus to the fireplace and let him Floo first.  This way of traveling always made me nervous, but I stpped into the fireplace and made it to the Potters' living room simply enough.  I stepped out and saw Remus brushing himself off and I started doing the same.

" I guess the only way we'll know is if we get going." I said to him as I did one more check in the mirror and put my hair behind my ear and went down the stairs. " Hello all...let's get this show on the road." I said as I was now horribly impatient. " We have to get your friend still Evans? "

I gave Remus and Peter quick hugs and looked at Evans.  "How are we goign to even be picking her up?  Obviously we cant' use normal methods," I said, indicating magical means.  Those were normal to me anyways.

Looking to Prongs, " Well I think we are going to have to take the other way Prongs, it's not like we can just show up on brooms or in her living room." I said with a shrug as I went toward the door, waiting for the others to catch up. I opened it, letting other people out of the house ahead of me. I was a little eager to know what this bowling was. " So, let me get this straight....there are ...pins at one end and we throw something down a lane?" I asked waiting for an answer.

I sighed and followed Padfoot with ease. He was right of course, but I didn't want to say that out loud. "I have no idea how that could be fun," I muttered, shaking my head.

Smirking as I heard Prongs " Well, I guess we'll find out...Remember time with Evans. She can teach you things.." I told him as I knew that would be the main reason he would at least give it a try. As much as he wanted to do something she would be the answer.

I rolled my eyes at the boys. "Oh, just give it a chance," I said, even though I had no idea what I was getting myself into, either. "I'm sure we'll all enjoy ourselves because we all typically do when we're together anyways."
