- Who knows what sort of things he has to deal with, - for the sake of justice noticed Alice. - Maybe, he is busy, and that's why he does not write.

- I absolutely do not care, - Lily several times slammed her fist intto the pillow and sat down, leaning back on it with her back and wrapping her legs into the blanket.

- I would be only happy, if it appeares that Potter has finally found a new victim for himself and is going to leave me in peace.

'Liar', - rang in her thoughts uncompromising and very nasty tiny voice.

- In the end, who would like to be bothered like that all the time?

From the expression on Alice's face, she gathered that an honest question was about to fly out from her tongue, so Lily hurried to say ahead of her:

- I will not let him make me look like an idiot all the time. And if he will continue to behave like this ...

'What if not?', - got terrified the same tiny voice.

- ... then I will once and for ever let him understand, that between us noth...

- Good morning,- rang right above them a bland polite voice.

The girls turned.

- Remus!

Lily, come round in amazement, jumped out of bed and gladly embraced the classmate.

Remus and her have always been in great relationship, and them both becoming praepostors has only made this relationship tighter and got them closer.

- What are you doing here?

- Why is everyone so surprised to see me? - with a mocked indignation asked Remus.

- If something, I could go away... - he turned around, and Lily, laughing, took him by the arm and made him come back.

- We are so happy to see you! Also going to the concert?

- To the concert, of course! - chuckled Remus, kissing Alice's cheek (the bus staggered and he pecked the ear) and finding space to sit on the edge of the bed.

- I heard you and could not pass without coming to say hi.

- Heard? - asked Lily, and her smile somehow faded. The green eyes gleamed cautiously. - What?

- Nothing, - said Remus, smiling calmly and looking at her significantly. - Absolutely nothing.

Lily was relieved, yet the smile, which she gave Lupin was somewhat constrained.

At this moment Ernie with the tray, on which colourful hot-chocolate-filled mugs were jostling along, came to their floor and informed them they were about to reach their destination.

All around the bus the passengers were getting up: the spoons were rattling and it smelled like chocolate and toothpaste - the bus was swept up in a usual morning bustle.

From all over the place came peppy, a little muffled voices, the neighbor of Lily and Alice turned on the radio, here and there the beds were being made, a child's nasal voice was heard on the second floor.

Following the unobtrusive melody form the raucous receiver there poured a news roundup - the anchor was reporting new facts about the victims of the werewolve mutiny in Brentwood.

Lily stole a glance at darkened gray-pale Remus and handed him an unopened bag of cookies and sandwiches.

- Help yourself, - silently said she in response to his questioning look and smiled, seeing the gratitude dispensing in his light-brown eyes.

- It's great that we'll all be together! - was happily chirping Alice in the meantime, while arranging on the bedside table, which strove to move out to the side, a modest breakfast of a traveler consisting of pastries and sandwiches by Mrs. Evans.

- You know Remus, today, I mean, yesterday, I saw Sirius and he said that he was going! And James also!

Lily threw at her a quick glance. She's was doing her hair, sitting cross-legged near the pillow.

- How great that we will all be together! Pa booked us a tent a week ago, but we thought it would be best to leave the day before the concert, to see a little bit of forest !- continued rattling Alice, stirring her chocolate with a spoon.

- There in fact lived Merlin himself! I think there must be something to look at, what do you think? The concert can't come too soon, I just can not wait, we will see THE Miron Vo... wow, look! - Alice suddenly rushed to the window - the bus drove into the Avemora suburbs and now was hurtling on a crazy speed along a narrow country road and brushing the wet tree branches.

Identical, completely unremarkable houses slept comfortably, they were wrapped in greens, and all that was enveloped with wet gray fog.

The town was the most common and even dull, but the fact that upon this land once walked the greatest wizard of all time gave a special importance even to the lampposts, standing along the road.

- I can not believe that I am in Avemore ... I can not believe that we will see "Weird Sisters"! - Alice clapped her hands, giving each passing tree an utmost enthusiastic gaze, and grabbed her cocoa. - I can not believe!

James only had time to see the glimpse of the purple bus roof beneath him, and the wind hit him with the enormous force, blowing him back. Lightning-fast, he threw up his wand, and as if the hook had picked him up and jerked him forward, and the next moment he was exerted with a force onto the icy wet iron roof.

Something in the head hummed nastily, there were sparks in his eyes.

Next to him he heard a muffled groan, and after that a sound of nervous barking laughter.

- Elk, Elk!!!!!

- Blimey... it worked... - James shook his head, trying to shake out of it all the sparkles to the last.

- What are you saying?! - shouted Sirius. James turned his head and saw only his narrowed like slits eyes, hair, standing up because of the wind, and the white strip of teeth.

- BLIMEY! - he shouted in reply, swallowing the wind, and they laughed, holding on to their wands, which were firmly adhered to the metal roof.

- What was that?! - snapped frightened Alice, when something landed on the roof right above her head.

Lily put her mug down, the passengers next to them began to look around.

Remus looked up at the ceiling, smiled thinly and looked down.

- Guess with three attempts... - he muttered, lifting the cup to his lips and raising his eyebrows significantly.

Suddenly the witch sitting beside them screamed, looking out the window. Then a burly gentleman on the neighbouring bed also looked out the window and, undignifiedly bashed right back, and fell to the floor.

- What is going on? - asked Lily, turning around, and all of a sudden Alice yelped loudly and spilled her hot chocolate on the floor.

- James! - Remus cried out in surprise, rushing to the window.

James laughed silently behind the glass and nearly slid off the roof.

Remus quickly turned the knob on the frame, and James leaned in their window, like a really big bat.

- Rem! Where is Tail?! - he shouted cheerfully. The wind ruffled his hair, glasses overhang threateningly.

- Stayed in the forest! I think, he'll find us in his own time! - answered Remus, catching the hidden meaning in the words of his friend.

- Well, where are we going? - James shouted in such a carefree voice, like a trip on the roof of the 'Knight Bus' was an extremely usual thing to him.

- What?! - shouted Remus, as he could not hear the last line.

James breathed in to shout louder, but then his mouth got full of wind, and for a moment he looked like an Australian frog.

They burst out laughing.

The girls looked at each other. Alice smiled. Lily, whose memories of the dream were still too vivid, pointedly turned away from the window and took a sip from her cup.

James gathered the air in his lungs and yelled:

- Where are we going?!

- Avemore! Caledonian forest!

- Damn yes! - enthusiastically swore James, thus expressing all the accumulated emotions.

Remus laughed.

Lily got enough courage to cast a quick glance at James. For some reason she was uncomfortable and difficult to look at him - as if at the source of a blinding glare.

- I'll see you there! - James shouted to Remus and finally turned to the girls, making a composed, as that of a mail owl, facial expression. - Ladies, - he winked at them. - Would you be so kind?

His glasses slid from his nose and hung on a bow, and he could not possibly correct them, because then he would risk to fly off the roof.

Lily felt a light jab in the ribs and throwing at Alice, more precisely, at her arm, a reproachful look, reluctantly moved over to the window and quickly returned the glasses on the nose of the owner. Wind caught her hair and as if playing, threw it on the boy's face.

- Thank you, my angel, - James suddenly kissed the air right in front of Lily's nose, Lily angrily pulled back and flopped on the bed. - You ... - the guy kept gazing at her. The chocolate eyes met the green ones. Finally James' lips quivered affectionatedly. - Look divine, Evans.

James' facial expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened and he disappeared in a flash.

- What's the matter? - Alice turned around following the direction of his gaze.

The girls turned and saw Ernie climbing the ladder. Remus hastily shut the window.

- What's going on here? - ominously asked the conductor and came up to them. - Passengers say they saw someone climbing into this window!

- Gremlin - quickly replied Remus.

- Annoying much - picked up Alice and giggled, exchanging glances with Lily.

- Well, well ... - Ernie looked disapprovingly at the guys, gave a suspicious look at the window and left.

- What? - bursted out Lily, as she noticed that Alice was barely holding back laughter, looking at her. - What is it?

Alice stifled a laugh, making a funny grunt with her nose, and with a pained face handed her friend a compact powder.

Lily looked at her skeptically, opened the mirror, decisively looked at her reflection and froze in terror: on her upper lip there adorned lush "whiskers" of hot chocolate.

- Asshole! - she cried, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand and turning, but the window was already empty, so that her accusation was left unnoticed, and Remus with Alice again roared with laughter.
