A/N: Okay, this is just to some up the things that would have happened in the sixth year if I'd written a fic about it.

Characters:

The marauders are basically based on what I know about them from the books.

Lily is in a heavy relationship with Amos Diggory (the marauders detest him)

Holly Short(OC) is an athletic girl who plays as seeker on the Gryffindor team whose very pretty.

Miera Shick(OC). She's gone out with James for the entire 6th year in a surprisingly serious relationship.

Chloe Sullen(OC) is a smart girl who has been going with Remus for the sixth year.

Chloe, Miera, Holly, and Lily are best friends.


Present Times

James sat up groggily from his bed. He was going to be late meeting his friends in Diagon Alley, but he didn't care. He hadn't cared about much since the end of last term. Since "IT" had happened. His friends had tried to pull him out of his trance, but he stayed in the same depressed mood all the time. Sirius even went to stay at Remus' for the last couple weeks of term. Tomorrow he'd be boarding the train and heading back to Hogwarts.


"James, what took you so long?" Sirius sat after James had waltzed into the ice cream shop in Diagon Alley over an hour late.

"Didn't feel like getting up," James said shrugging.

"You not still all mad about-"

"Since your in such a hurry Padfoot, shut your trap and lets get this shopping over with," James snapped, cutting Sirius off.

The other three marauders looked at each other with concern. James had been like this all summer, not talking to anyone. He wouldn't even return their letters. And only Sirius knew the whole truth in what had happened and why James was so mad.

The day crept by slowly. James remained in his foul mood, despite Sirius' valiant efforts. Remus was extremely worried, he had no idea what had made James act like this, and Sirius wouldn't tell him. James didn't even crack a smile when Sirius went up to the ugliest girl on the street and kissed her smack dab on the lips.

The foursome ran into many of their fellow students at Hogwarts, although they weren't as happy to see some of the as they were to see others. Sirius tried to James interested in pranking Snape when they passed him, but James just shrugged him off. After they'd gotten all the things they needed to leave for school the next day, they all headed home despite Sirius' suggestion that they have dinner somewhere.


"Potter, are you even going to help me?" Lily Evans shrieked the next day while she tried to hurry everyone onto the Hogwarts Express.

"No," James said, not even taking a second glance at Lily.

"Do you even care that you're Head Boy?" Lily asked questioningly. How could Dumbledore have made James Potter Head Boy?

"No," James said helping a first year put their trunk away.

Lily stared at James, he had just helped someone with out even complaining about it, "Well, don't go around helping too many people Potter, it might ruin your image."

"Did you ever think that maybe I'm not as mean as you think I am? Did it ever occur to you that you always judge me by one seeing one side of me? Doesn't anyone think that I have feelings just the same as everyone else?" James said bitterly.

"Potter, if you had feelings you wouldn't walk around like you were the best thing on earth," Lily snapped back feeling a little bad for James.

James looked at Lily for a moment. Lily was surprised to see that for once he didn't have the soft look in his eyes, but only a cold hard look. Ever since he'd been going out with Miera he'd looked at her less and less, but he never looked at her like he was now. It was like he hated her.

"Hey Lily!" Miera said waving, "Hey James," she added a moment later.

Lily waved back, but she was surprised to see that James only turned away, "Aren't you even going to wave at her?"

"We broke up," James said through clenched teeth.

"Well that's not her fault, you were bound to dump her sometime, it's your nature, Potter," Lily said defending her friend.

"Yeah?" James snarled, "Well just for your information, Evans, you and your little friend aren't as perfect as you think you are. Maybe you should ask her what happened, I'm sure she'll be glad to explain it."

Lily looked at James blankly. Surely Miera hadn't broken up with him, she adored him. James punched the compartment door beside him, leaving a huge dent in it. Lily was about to tell him off, but he just walked into his compartment and locked himself inside.


Meanwhile, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were talking to Holly and Chloe in their own compartment. Remus had his arm around Chloe and Sirius was giving Holly a hug.

"I haven't seen you in forever, Sirius," Holly said laughing as Sirius was spinning her around.

"Well, its really only been about three months," Sirius pointed out.

Holly punched him lightly on the arm, "Stop being such an idiot," she said laughing. She hadn't seen Sirius all summer, and she had missed him. They'd been best friends since their second year when he'd rescued her from an older guy wanting to go out with her. "You look different," Holly said sizing Sirius up.

"I knew it would only be a matter of time since someone noticed my well-toned shape I've been working on all summer," Sirius said laughing.

"Oh get over yourself," Holly said sarcastically. Sirius was still as adorable as he always was but there was something about his face. He looked older and in a very un-Sirius like way, scarred and sad. But there wasn't a flaw on his perfect face.

"Holly there you are!" George Frost said opening the compartment door.

Holly kissed George, and invited him into the compartment. George was Holly's boyfriend, a bright Ravenclaw who played quidditch. Only Remus noticed the dark glint in Sirius' eye as Holly slipped her hand into George's.

"I would love to stay, but I really must be getting to the prefects compartment, Holly," George said, kissing Holly once more before he left.

"What was that?" Sirius asked as Holly sat back down.

"Oh, George and I spent a day together in Diagon Alley and we just clicked," Holly said smiling happily.

Lily poked her head into the compartment, "Hey guys, have you seen James or Miera anywhere? James locked himself in a compartment and I didn't know if he's trying to see how his robes look on him or seduce some girl, but I need some help here."

"We haven't seen them Lils, sorry," Holly said, Lily rolled her eyes and left the compartment.

"Why would James lock himself into a compartment?" Holly asked, "Do you think that Miera is with him?"

"No, he broke up with her this summer," Chloe said.

"Serves her right," Sirius said in a deep growl. He could remember only too well what had happened after they got off the train last year.


Flashback

James and Sirius were looking for Miera so James could introduce her to his parents. Most people had already left with their children and it was obvious that Miera wasn't in the crowd.

"Maybe she left, mate," Sirius said.

"No, she said that she would wait," James said confused, "Lets look on the other side of the ticket booth."

So James and Sirius walked around to the other side of the ticket booth, but there was nothing there except an old closet. They were about to give up when they heard a noise from the closet. It sounded like a girl's voice.

"That's Miera," James said panicked, "She must be in trouble!" and he flung open the door.

Out tumbled Miera and Dean Edwards, a fellow sixth year. They evidently shared a deep passion for each other because they were both topless.

"Miera, are you alright?" James asked helping her up, and giving her shirt to her. James picked Dean up by the scuff of his neck and threw him against the wall, "Don't you ever lay a hand on my girlfriend again!"

"James stop," Miera said pulling on James' arm, "Don't you get it? I'm in love with Dean!"

James looked at her. Sirius had never seen him look so terrible in his entire life.

"What about me?" James said, and Sirius knew he was close to tears.

"I've been cheating on you since February," Miera said shrugging, "So, I'm going out with Dean, and you're out of the picture."

Sirius grabbed James arm before he did anything rash. James just stood there with his mouth gaping. How had the girl he'd grown to love cheat on him?

"James," Sirius said softly, "Lets get out of here."


Sirius remembered that night, when James had been crying. The only other time Sirius had ever seen James cry was when his grandparents had died. James said he loved Miera, she was the first girl he'd really loved. He'd even gotten over Lily. Ever since then, James was depressed all the time. He said that if he didn't get close to anyone, then he wouldn't get hurt. She'd hurt him, and she'd hurt him bad.


A/N: Ok, hope you liked it. I know it's a bit rough, but I was trying to do it in a hurry. Next chapters will be more interesting and funnier, I promise. Please review!
