Leah Moon’s father, Kyle Moon, was going on a business trip for about a week in August and did not want to leave his daughter home alone. Naturally, he told her to invite her friends to visit. As soon as Leah found out she owled each of her friends and they immediately replied with good news.

They arrived on the open fields of Galway, Ireland where a brick with ivy growing up the sides and a cobblestone driveway stood. The ivy twists and turns all over the front of the house, making the feel of it very homey and at one with nature. Two chimneys sit atop the house that looks like they get much use out of them, but not much in this season. It is summer in Ireland and the scenery is gorgeous.

Next to the cozy house is a small shed with all sorts of nick-knacks for the garden and the sheep. There’s a white picket fence surrounding the over grown garden; it’s in definite need of a good pruning. A white bench and chair sit out front of the house as if beckoning you to sit down and take a load off.

Walking through the red front door you are greeted by the sweet smell of cookies in the living room/kitchen. The room has two squishy chairs and one equally comfortable sofa with a coffee table in the middle and a wood burning stove against the yellow wall. The kitchen is quite simple and small, but the residents of the house are perfectly fine with that, seeing as there are only two of them.

Through the double doors off the kitchen you walk into a small dining room with a table suited for six, overlooking the side of the house out to the garden.

Down the hall is the master bedroom. The door is always closed. There is also one of two bathrooms down that hall that sees a lot of foot traffic seeing as the stairs are at the end of the hall.

You walk up to the stairs and see a series of doors. The first door to your left is another bathroom. The first door to your right is a guest room that has been decorated to accommodate boys. The four bunk beds are built into the wall with blue, black, and white bed coverings that definitely accentuate manlihood. There’s a rocking chair in the corner and a red and white couch near the large window that overlooks the large backyard.

Back into the hall, the second door to your left is a library that the little girl in the house spends a lot of time in. At the far end of the library are the shelves with ladders and a desk area for the man in the house. Placed around the room are different sorts of comfortable chairs to sit and read on. In the right corner of the room is a small, winding staircase that leads up to the little girl’s secret room: the attic.

The attic is covered in white. There’s a futon on the floor with white bedding and across from it are two white chairs. A window is on the far wall that also overlooks the backyard.

The second door to your right is the girl's bedroom. The walls are ocean blue and it feels as if you’re under the surface of the water. The bedding is different shades of blue with colorful pillows atop it. There’s a small couch at the foot of the bed and a matching chair by the door facing the window that overlooks the backyard. There’s a cubbyhole in the wall where the little girl keeps her special belongings and next to her bed is a picture of a hammerhead shark that was hand drawn.

The back yard has rolling Irish hills with sheep polka-dotting the landscape. Many trees cloak the area for areas to picnic or to merely read a book under or visit with your friends. In the distance, there is a broken down castle where the little girl resident likes to visit for some times of solitude.

Leah was practically bouncing off the walls as she waited for her friends to arrive at her house. They were scheduled to get there at five so they could all have dinner together then the boys could start a bonfire in the backyard. The sixteen, almost seventeen, year old couldn’t wait. Her father had left only moments ago and he had told her to owl him once everyone got there so he knew she wasn’t alone. He would have stayed long enough for them to arrive, but his business trip just couldn’t wait. Thankfully, Leah understood.

After pacing her living room for a bit, Leah decided to get some air to wait for her friends. The garden needed pruning anyway so she decided to get that done. Ginger, her two year old maltipoo dog, followed her out and went sniffing around the garden; he was Leah’s best friend and he was also the cutest dog on the face of the planet. If Leah knew her friends, she knew that Jae would be the first one to arrive. The two had been dating since their third year of wizarding school and there was no end in sight to their relationship. Leah sincerely thought she was in love.

Speak of the devil.

“’Ello beau’iful,” Jae smiled after aparating to his girlfriend’s front lawn. He had recently gotten his license to aparate and he was using every possible chance he could to do so, much to the annoyance of his little brother. Leah stood and ran into Jae’s arms. Jae beamed and kissed her gently on the lips; something he wouldn’t be able to do too much while everyone else was there because he knew that Legend would say something silly about it. What was he gonna do though? He loved Leah more than anything in the world. He was in love. That was the bottom line. He put her happiness before his and she always scolded him for that, but did he care? Not at all. She was more important.

Looking around, he noticed that he was the only one here. Yes, he noticed that before, but he also noticed that her father was nowhere to be seen either. A mischievous grin spread across his face as he kissed Leah again. He was a man, after all. What did you expect? “And now we wait for the otha’s,” he whispered in her ear.

Leah smiled brightly as her boyfriend took her into his arms. She had missed him. It had been quite a while since they’d seen each other, seeing as she had gone on holiday with her father and brother. “Hello darling,” she greeted him, standing on her tip-toes to reach his lips. He was quite tall and still growing. As he whispered something in her ear, she giggled and looked his straight in the eye. “Don’t make everyone feel awkward when they get here. You know Ledge will go insane if you even kiss me,” she reminded him. She took his hand as he chuckled at her and led him over to the bench in front of her house and sat down. “And now we wait.” She was in her glory.

Making sure he had everything he needed for this trip Lysander sighed and lifted up his small bag in one hand and his mountain board in the same one (he could NOT leave it). He was happy to be going to Leah's. It was wayyyy to quite in here. With his dad on a mission and Desirae at work no one was here to bother. Tyson was also at work and Miggy was doing...Miguel stuff. And bothering Alexis was most certainly out of the question since he was sure by now his sister was probably sick of him distroying her store every day.

Yes he was 16 turning 17 (which would make him an adult in the wizarding world) but he was still a kid at heart. Grabbing a hand of floo power he stepped into the fire place. "The Moon's house!" He called loudly. A the swirling feeling finally stopped after a few moments the 16 year old opened his eyes to the familiar living room. "The king has arrived peoples!" Legend called loudly and brightly. Looking over to Jae and Leah he raised an eyebrow.

"You two weren't just kissing were you? Disgusting. The king says no kissing!" He said with a laugh. Yeah sure he might have had his share of girlfriends and kissed them but still PDA was not ok.

Danny looked around subconsciously. It was calm and peaceful at home. His dad was laying on the couch reading a book and his mom was at work. He was secretly glad she was at work, because now he would be able to leave without her nagging at him. Samantha was in Greece, so he was going to have to travel via fireplace, which he was dreading. He hated how his stomach felt while spinning.

With a backpack on one shoulder, he walked into the living room and stopped behind the couch. "Good book?" he asked. His dad looked up and smiled at him, his eyes twinkling.

"I like it. Very good plot. And the setting is in the late 1950's. Its interesting." his dad said, he then shut the book on a bookmark and stood up. "You leaving now?" he asked. Danny gave him a shy smiled and nodded. They embraced and he walked him to the fireplace. "Your mother wanted me to tell you to be careful and owl us if you need us."

Danny sighed. Even without her here she was still on his case. His dad saw and let out a chuckle. Danny couldnt help but smile. He then said good bye and grabbed a handful of the grey powder. Stepping into the grate, he threw into its depths. "Leah Moon's house." The spinning came instantly and Danny closed his eyes. His stomach began to churn and he closed his eyes. Just then the fireplace spit him out and he stumbled out.

After he caught himself, he saw that Legend was already here. Looking around, he found that Jae and Leah was next to Leah. Figures. They had been dating since their third year, his being his second year. Danny didnt think he could find two more perfect people to be together. He gave them a gentle nod and said, "Hey, you guys. Katie and Jules arent here yet?" he asked. They were probably running late. Katie was never a early person.

They were late, they were going to be if they weren't. They were going to be VERY late if Katie didn't hurry up, but instead she was just now finishing packing, and adding this or that at random as she shouted things like 'Oh, hold on I forgot something'. That ended really quick when Julian grabbed her arm and apparated out of the house and into Leah's backyard. He had picked the exact moment she grabbed the strap of her bag, so they're luggage was with them.

The others were all here, just as he expected. What he hadn't expected was arriving in the exact right place. A grin brightened his face, waving a hand hello in greeting while walking over, the seventeen year old dragged his twin sister along too. "Hey guys."

Katie was NOT pleased. That much was obvious, and written all over her face; Julian had taken her from home when she wasn't ready! And she could have apparated on her own, thankyou.

Furiously brushing a dark curl from hanging infront of her face, Kaitlynnh picked her bag up with a huff, and followed after the blonde. Arms folded over her chest, a moody expression in place as warning. She said nothing to no one, dark brown eyes wandered around her surroundings. Katie was taking taking a moment to calm down, rather than snap completely with the littlest breaking of a twig.

The king? Oh right, it was Legend. Leah chuckled and broke away from Jae, as much as he would allow. He rarely liked spaced between them, which she thought was adorable. "Are you king of my house Ledge? I don't believe you are. That means I can kiss whoever I want, whenever I want," she reminded him, her amber eyes twinkling as she winked and kissed Jae one more time.

Jae chuckled, not letting go of Leah's arm as she broke away. "You're one ta talk Ledge," he reminded him. That's right, Jae knew about his other girlfriends. They did go to school together after all. He winked at his friend, giving him a one armed hug. He then went to greet the one and only Danny. He let go of Leah's hand and opened his arms wide to welcome his best friend. "How are ya Dan?" he asked as he broke their hug. Just as he was about to answer his question, Katie and Jules aparated right before their eyes.

"'Ello you two," he greeted, going over and giving each one of them a hug. Apparently Katie wasn't too happy about something because her hug was strained. He gave a confused look to Julian, but he decided to leave it alone. Knowing Katie, it was something that she wouldn't want to share, or something she would share with everyone, loudly.

"Katie!" Leah squealed after breaking away from her hug with Danny. She didn't care that Katie had a sour puss on her face. All she cared about was that there was a girl here. That was enough to make her jump for joy. "C'mon you lot, let's go inside. I made cookies," she said as she began to drag her friends inside her house. Jae, of course, followed willingly.

She pranced to the counter and grabbed a basket of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, placing them on the coffee table in the middle of the room. She then plopped down on the couch right next to Jae. "After we're done here, I wanna show you guys something out back. You can't really see it that good from here so we'll have to go up close." She was practically giddy. "Oh and you guys know where the rooms are upstairs if you wanna deposit your stuff. Katie, you'll be with me in my room," she said with a smile as she ran a few fingers through her auburn hair.

Jae smiled at his girlfriend who seemed to be extremely happy they were all here. He grabbed a cookie, enjoying the warm chewiness of it as he rubbed his thumb against Leah's hand gently. "Sounds like a plan ta me," he said with a wink once she was done. He had already placed his bag at the bottom of the stairs. He'd get it later when it was time for bed. He glanced out the window, noticing it was a little gloomy, but that was Ireland for you.

Ginger the dog was wiggling his little tail and sniffing everyone that arrived. The little maltipoo was in his glory, seeing as he knew exactly who to go to when it came to having a good pet. He went right to Danny, hopping up onto his lap once everyone was seated in his living room. He curled up on the boy's lap and snuggled his head close to his body. The little puppy loved warmth.

"Me? I'm offended Jae." The 16 year old said with a laugh. Rolling his eyes at Leah, Legend couldn't believe she doubted his kingship. "Kiss whoever you want, where ever you want except in my view, because I am the King no matter where I am. Ok Ms.Moon?" Smirking he followed them back into the house. Dropping his bag and his board close to the stairs with Jae's (he would bring them to the room later) then ran and grabbed two cookies.

"Here you go Dan." Legend said passing him one of the cookies. Eating his quickly he gave a wave to Julian. "What did you do to the human firework Juls?" Emerald green eyes looking at Katie, Legend had to grin. "Wittle Kwaite upset?"

Danny gave Leah a shy smile as she hugged him. Yeah he wasnt the same timid boy as he was when he was young, but he could still blush on the spot. "Im pretty good Leah. Went to visit my Grandparents in Greece last week." he said in his small voice. He loved his other grandparents from his dad's side, but he never really liked to visit much. They were very loud and they always had so many people in their house. It made him feel so tiny, and the thing about his grandmother, she would not let him stay in the corner. She made people talk to him which can be a real pain sometimes. But he loved them nonetheless.

Opening his hand just in time, he caught the cookie that Legend threw to him. "Thanks Leg." he chuckled. Hearing something approach down below, Danny bent down just as Ginger came into view. Everybody knew he loved animals. But the weird thing was animals seemed to love him just as much as he loved them.

"Hey Ginger." he picked her up and set her down next to him as soon as he was seated on the sofa. He put her next to his leg and began rubbing her behind the ear in a soothing motion. It probably soothed him more than the tiny dog, but Ginger wasnt complaining. "Looks like Katie and Leg are going to start World War 7 right now." he whispered to the maltipoo with a light chuckle.

A small smile spread on the girl's lips from Leah's excited squeal. Hugging her back, she nodded and followed behind staying close to Juls by pure habit as though she was suppose to stay with him which obviously wasn't the case. Even when she was mad at him, like right now, she couldn't keep it that way. Not at Julian. "Naturally," Kaitlynnh said, after Leah informed them of where they would be sleeping.

As much as he wanted to laugh, Julian stayed composed. Grinning slightly, though. It WAS a funny question. Not so much the answer, and.. definitely not the reaction Katie would give. It was best he he kept it simple, "I didn't give her the option to whether she was ready or not." Taking the time everyone was grabbing a cookie and greeting eachother, Julian took his and Katies bags and found his way upstairs, the house was very familiar to him it didn't take long.

Sitting up more in her seat, Kaitlynnh's head jerked towards Legend, dark chocolate brown orbs narrowing in an irritated manner. If it weren't for Julian re-entering the room just as quickly as she left, she would have said something. Instead, she remembered something Leah said and piped up once more with, "Can we go now, to see whatever it is?"
