Disclaimer: Ok, well, obviously James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Lily Evans don't belong to me; they belong to JK Rowling. Now, any characters that you've seen in the books belong to her and I am just using them here because it wouldn't be called a fanfiction without at least one of them in it. I will not be repeating this for every chapter; it gets a bit repetitive and I think people can pretty much assume that I'm not JK Rowling. Oh and Rupert Lupin and Laura Lupin are also © Jo Rowling, though she never named them in the books (they are Remus' parents; I just gave them names).

Now onto the disclaimer that I will be putting up in every chapter: Aurora Clementine Badeau, Annalisa Dairine Black, Conri Carmine Black, Aberto Adriano Badeau, Alicia Doireann Badeau (nee Riddle), Timothy Durante Badeau, Alfred Cillian Badeau, Holly Caoimhe Badeau, Nicola Sorcha Badeau, Italia Isla Badeau, Thekla Sophia Badeau (nee Metaxas), Maximus Eligio Badeau, Alexander Fidel Badeau, Massimo Cillian Badeau, Dolores Maria Badeau (nee DaSilva), Gloria Boxington (nee Badeau), and Henry Boxington are © me lol I know, really long list of characters and yes, they're all related in some way. That'll be explained later. All of these names are authentic Spanish, Scottish, Italian, Irish, and Greek names (Thekla is the only pure Greek though).

Pippa Lupin © my friend, Ashley :)

Now…Enjoy. Please review!

James Potter ran his hand nervously through his hair, messing up his already disastrous looking mop. James always had high confidence and a high opinion of himself, except when it came to her. Lily Evans; the one girl he wanted, and the only girl who didn't want him. He took a deep breath and then walked across the Gryffindor common room towards her chair by the fireplace.

"Evans, could I have a word with you?"

"I'm not going to the dance with you, Potter," she said coldly, without looking up from her book. His heart sank but his ego fell even lower.

"Haha," he forced a laugh, "that isn't what I was going to ask you, Evans. In fact, I already have a date for the dance," he lied, and she knew it. She closed her book with a snap.

"Who are you going with? Black? He'd look lovely in women's dress robes!"

"Are you jealous that I've got myself a date, Evans?"

"No, I know you're-"

The door of the seventh year boys dormitory flew open and two teenage boys appeared on the staircase. One was pulling the other along behind him by the neck of his robes. The boy being dragged was digging frantically inside his pocket while yelling at his captor. "SIRIUS LET GO! CUT THIS OUT NOW! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!"

"Shut up, Remus! I'm doing you a favor," Sirius said loudly, shaking his long black hair out of his face.

Remus pulled out his wand. "Expelliarmus," Sirius said lazily as Remus' wand soared high into the air and then fell at the bottom of the staircase, skittering across the stone floor. They reached the bottom of the stair case, Sirius still dragging Remus. "Sirius I'll kill you! I swear!"

"Ladies of the noble house of Godric Gryffindor!" Sirius shouted, with no inconvenience from his friend. "Our dear, handsome Remus Lupin is looking for a date for the dance this weekend!" The common room fell silent except for the giggling of a group of first year girls.

"Anyone interested?" Sirius asked loudly.

A third year girl was being pushed forward by her friends. She was blushing
furiously. "Stop it," she whispered to them as she fought to get back. Another girl, a fifth year, who had her fist clenched and a determined look on her face took a step forward then seemed to lose her nerve and stepped back again. Remus didn't notice any of this; he simply stood there, staring at his feet.

Then Lily stood up. "I'd like to go with you, Remus."

Remus jumped and looked up at her, then at James. James looked like he would have enjoyed hexing Remus into a thousand tiny pieces.

"I...I...Well...I..." he stammered.

"Potter will get over it," she said stiffly.

"Err...sure...yeah...okay," Remus looked terrified.

"Excellent," Lily said, her eyes lingered on James' angry expression for a moment. She seemed to enjoy the look of pure fury on his face. She smiled at Remus and headed up the staircase to the girls dormitory.

The next day was gloomy, matching James mood perfectly. His best friend joined him at the lunch table, patting him on the back.

"Sorry, James. If I had known that you were going to ask Eva- "

"You knew, Sirius."

"Well, yeah, I knew but I didn't know she was going to step up!" James just scoffed and looked down at his macaroni salad, which he was playing with using his fork. Sirius sighed and looked away as well. "Maybe I can talk to Evans and convince her to go with you"

"Good luck. I think it would be easier to give a pixie a kiss than to convince Evans to go to the dance with me." James didn't sound anything like himself, and it bothered Sirius. He had to do something. Just as he was thinking up a plan, his girl, or the girl he wished would be his, sat down with her friends at the Ravenclaw table. She turned back to talk to Lily Evans, the girl of all controversy in James life, catching Sirius' eye. She sent him a nasty glare and then smiled sweetly for her best friend. They whispered to each other, giggling as they broke apart to eat some lunch.

As Sirius gazed at the raven haired, blue-eyed beauty, Remus sat down across from him, blocking his view. Sirius scowled and frowned at Remus, who in turn, turned back to see what he did wrong. When he saw Aurora Clementine Badeau, he realized what he did and scooted over a bit, so now he was sitting in front of James. James didn't even look at him. Remus swallowed hard and looked down at his plate before speaking to James.

"James. I'm sorry about Lily; I didn't know what to do!"

"Right."

"James, I'm serious."

"No, I'm Sirius," Sirius remarked with a playful grin. Remus just rolled his eyes.

"James if you want me to, I'll tell Lily that I changed my mind." Remus sounded completely sincere and as James looked up at him, he felt guilty. He shook his head, frowning.

"I'm sorry, Remus. Just go with Lily to the dance. I'll find someone else." Remus looked stunned at what James had said. I thought he wanted to behead me last night and now he's ok with it? I wonder if he's running a fever. Sirius even said something about James sudden change in mind.

"Wow…Guess Evans was right. He did get over it."
James just gave Sirius a glare. Sirius shrugged with a nervous smirk. James punched him in the arm and the three began to eat their lunch, grinning slightly at each other.
