5th August 1978
"Wake up you lazy bums!" James shouted, banging the bedroom door open.
"Piss of James," Opal groaned into Sirius' chest.
"Listen, our portkey leaves in twenty minutes if you aren't ready or dressed. That sounds like a you problem and I'm going to enjoy the match."
"How do I always forget James is a morning person, I feel so bad for Lily for dealing with that."
"Oi, I can hear you." Lily's voice came from the hallway.
"She's also a morning person," Opal sighed.
"A match made in heaven. Give us like ten minutes-"
"You have two seconds to get up otherwise I'm using aguamenti."
Sirius let out a loud sigh as he rolled out of bed. "Happy?"
"Yeah, Opes your turn,"
"I can just apparate, where are we going again?"
"Morocco, and you can't do that, we all have to get there at the same time."
Opal kept her eyes closed. "Oooh, I've never been to Morocco,"
"Yeah, and you won't unless you get up. Five, Four-"
"Hey, you said I had two minutes to get up-"
"Aguamenti!" James said, but he didn't know Opal had a grip on her wand using a reverse spell so instead he got covered in the water.
"Opal what the fuck!" he shouted.
"Don't mess with me,"
James turned his head to Sirius who put his hands up in defence, "That's your best friend."
"You're so annoying, Opal!"
"Love me too,"
"Hurry up and get ready."
"Aye, aye captain," Opal, attempted a salute but she was too tired.

After more shouting from James to make sure everyone was ready in time, the group huddled around a hairbrush in the back garden.
"Wait, why aren't we just apparating?" Remus asked.
"Because someone-" Lily began looking at James, "Didn't pass their apparition test first time,"
"It was one finger, I could have lived without a finger,"
"That's true," Peter muttered tiredly.
"Couldn't we have gotten a portkey a little bigger?" Mary complained.
"Best they could get on short notice, seeing as none of the others would get a plane,"
"Absolutely not," Opal, James and Sirius shook their heads, quickly.
"How were all three of you on the Quidditch team, yet you're afraid of heights?" Lily asked.
"I'm not afraid of heights, I am afraid of the fact that muggles have made something that can fly without magic. I just can't comprehend it. That's all." Sirius put his hands up in surrender.
"Yeah, I can't wrap my head around it either," James nodded.
"Purebloods," the muggle-borns and half-bloods muttered, rolling their eyes.
"Ten seconds everyone put your hands on it." James said, looking at his watch.
After an amount of spinning and James screaming in Opal's ear, they landed on the hard ground.
