Hi again guys! It's great to be back! I'm posting this little story that I came up with. It will probably be a three-shot. It may be a while before I post the second chapter because I have finals coming in my university and I'm going crazy with studying! But I wanted to post this so please share your opinions about it!

Kisses!

CHAPTER 1

"Please, tell me we don't have potions first thing in the morning?" whined Sirius while picking up his breakfast in the Great hall. It was the first day back to school for the Marauders for their sixth year.

"I'm sorry Siri but yes" said Remus with a dreamy expression. He wasn't sorry, at least he got to see Severus.

"Of course you are happy, your boyfriend is in the class" interjected James.

"Oh Jamie, don't be sad, you know sometime Lucius is going to notice you." said Remus. He felt bad for his friend. He had had a crush on the blonde since fourth year, but apparently Lucius was betrothed to Sirius's cousin Narcissa Black. James had been heartbroken with the news, and he had cry for a whole night in Sirius's arms when he had told him.

"Don't be silly Remy, why would someone like him notice me? Come on, we must head to potions" James gave his friends a sad smile and rose from his seat. Sirius and Remus followed him; Peter hadn't got to advanced potions.

James thought about his situation while heading to the dungeons. He really loved Lucius. The handsome blonde was a dream for anyone who was not Remus who was very happy with Severus or Sirius who James knew had a crush on Rodolphus Lestrange. But he was hopelessly in love with the prefect. Everyone thought he was in love with Lily but in reality she was just a good friend. When he had told the redhead he was in love with Lucius Malfoy she had told him she already knew. She had told him that if he had fallen in love with the blonde, maybe there was a reason behind it all.

James shook his head. This was plainly unrequited love. he shook his head as the familiar tears began to gather in his eyes, and rushed after his firneds to get to Potions.

"Severus, I'm worried about James" a sad Remus told his black haired boyfriend. They were cuddling in the Room of Requirements after classes, enjoying the fact that there were still no big tests.

"Why do you say that love?" Severus took Remus's chin in his hand and made his boyfriend look at him "Are you talking about Lucius?"

"Yes" Remus sighed "he is falling into depression and we can't do anything about it. I'm really worried about him. It doesn't matter what we tell him, he thinks it is impossible for Lucius to fall in love with him."

Severus looked at his boyfriend, thinking deeply. He knew Lucius was not exactly thrilled about the whole engagement thing, and that the blonde was bisexual, so those were not issues. Severus wondered if Lucius had actually noticed James behind the popular guy, Quidditch player persona. James was truly a very nice person, loyal, friendly and, he had to admit it, cute. It was a perfect match for Lucius.

"What do you say about a little helping hand?" Remus looked at him confused "All I'm saying is that Lucius doesn't hate James or anything, it is just that he doesn't know him really. All that he knows is that you are my boyfriend and that Rod likes Sirius. He hasn't looked at the third Marauder because he doesn't need to. Do you follow me?" Remus nodded "I say that Lucius could perfectly fall in love with James if he gets to know him, and we have to make sure that he does"

Remus's face lit up "That's a great idea! Do you have something in mind?"

"Not yet, but we can talk about it with Rod and Sirius to see if they come up with some ideas."

"I knew there was a reason besides your sexiness why I love you" Remus was now on Severus's lap straddling him. Severus chuckled and leaned down to kiss his boyfriend senseless.

"So, do you have any ideas?" an enthusiastic Remus asked Rod and Sirius. They had met again in the Room of Requirements and they were discussing some ideas to their "Matchmaker plan".

"I say we lock them in an empty classroom and leave them there until they fall in love" Rod said. Sirius and Remus smacked him in the head.

"Don´t be stupid Roddy. We have to be more subtle" said an annoyed Sirius.

"Maybe we can tell Slughorn to partner them in potions this year. And then organize a date all of us dragging them along. They will feel like third wheels and partner up." Said Remus thinking

"That's a great idea Remy!" Sirius was very happy. This way his best friend wouldn't be sad anymore. Lucius was perfect for him: tall, strong, dominating and very handsome; a match made in heaven.

"Let's get started then. Along the way we will come up with more ideas" Severus picked up Remus "Now we are going to the lake. Don't bother following us. You don't want to know what we will be doing" Remus was as red as a tomato. Sirius blushed and hid his face in Roddy's chest.

"Welcome to advanced potions. I will partner you up now and the pairs will remain for the rest of the year" Slughorn was walking beside the desks, occasionally glancing at the students. He knew what he had to do. Severus had promised him a vial of Felix Felicis if he partnered James and Lucius together. That was easy. He didn´t want to know what the infamous Marauders had planned. Maybe it involved getting James and Lucius together. They would make a great couple.

"Snape and Lupin" Remus smiled brightly at Severus.

"Lestrange and Black, Sirius" Sirius looked up shyly at Rodolphus who looked smug. This dark classroom was the perfect opportunity to molest cute little Sirius without getting caught. Not that Sirius complained.

"Malfoy and Potter" James looked up fast with wide eyes. Had he heard wrong?

The students reorganized themselves for the class. James got up and looking down shyly sat down next to Lucius. The blonde looked down at him curiously. This was the Marauder leader. He was…cute. Hazel eyes and black locks that fell down his shoulders, a pert nose and pouty lips. He was apparently a little on the short side at 5'6", while Lucius himself was 6'4" like Severus.

Meanwhile James was carefully observing the Adonis next to him. God he was handsome! Blonde hair reaching his waist, silver eyes, high cheekbones, and muscular build. Lucius smirked noticing his scrutiny and James promptly blushed and dropped his head. It would be a torture to work next to him the whole year.

James practically ran from the potions classroom when the class finished. Lucius hadn't stop touching him. It was almost like he was doing it on purpose! He didn't even wait for Remus and Sirius. The other two Marauders looked confused at a running James. Severus looked at Lucius, who remained in his seat smirking. Apparently the plan had worked, James had catched Lucius attention.

James was throwing rocks at the lake, thinking. How was he supposed to work with Lucius if he couldn't even look straight at him? It would be impossible to make a decent potion with his crush sitting next to him.

Sirius and Remus approached him and sat on either side.

"Jamie what's the matter?" asked a worried Sirius.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes. What was Slughorn thinking when he partnered me with Lucius? I can´t even look at him without blushing! Damn it I'm going to fail potions this year!" poor James looked miserable. Sirius and Remus shared a troubled look. Should they tell him? Better not for the sake of the plan.

"But Jamie, this is your opportunity! Make him realize what he's losing marrying my cousin! You will save him and her with that!" Sirius said excitedly. Maybe James could help too.

"Sirius, be realistic. Why would someone like Lucius pay attention to a scrawny little Gryffindor like me? Come on." He was in tears by now. This year was going to be pure torture.

"Oh, Jamie, why would you think something like that? Where is my confident, gorgeous, prankster friend?" Remus hugged James. Why was it that in front of Lucius James was so self-conscious and thought so poorly of himself? James gave their friends a sad smile.

"You know what? Maybe things are going to change." Sirius smiled at his sad friend. Remus and he would do everything in their power to make James happy.
