Moony's P.O.V

The feast was spectacular, you can't get food anywhere better than Hogwarts. The whole time we couldn't stop ginning at each other in anticipation. As soon as Dumbledore got up to say his speech, we were gone. Running to the lake as fast a our legs would take us. We got the big bucket of dye from behind the bush and with a heave poured it into the Black Lake. Watching the gold spread across the lake was a magnificent sight but we had to run to the Great Hall before the feast was over so we could set off the fireworks.

"Where did you lot go?" Lily asked.

"Why do you wanna know Evans? Fancy coming with us next time? Or maybe you would prefer to go with Snivellus," James smirked.

"Shut it you git, whatever you did I hope you get detention," Lily glared.

"My feelings, they have been wounded!" Jams exclaimed, grabbing at his heart.

"And that is the end of my speech, please dig into your des..." Dumbledore was cut off by the loud bangs from outside.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and the hall was filled with rapid talking. Soon the bangs got louder and the whole school was running outside to see what it was. Everyone was staring at the beautiful fireworks exploding over the golden lake. They were so enticed not even McGonagall tried to shoo everyone back inside.

By the time the fireworks had ended and everyone went back inside dessert I noticed that Sirius was gone.

"Oi Prongs, where's Pads?" I asked.

"I dunno. This wasn't part of the plan, the rest of the plan was to party all night," he frowned.

Padfoot's P.O.V

After setting all the fireworks up I hung back, I needed to think. There was so much going on and we were running out of time at hogwarts. My mind whirled at 60 milion miles an hour and I couldn't grasp at a single one.

My parents.

Regulus.

Remus.

James and Peter finding out.

Voldemort.

The death eaters that where hanging with my brother.

My shitty upbringing.

What would happen after hogwarts...

I had no clue where my life was going or what the flip I was doing. I had been walking around the edge of the lake but I couldnt take it. The only things that could calm me where Remus or water so I stripped down to my boxers and went swimming. I was floating on my back freezing cold thinking when the first firework went off taking my mind off things even if it was just for a second.

The show was amazing, we really had out done ourselves this year and I would have to congradulate the others later for their tremendous work. After the show I swam the edge dried off and got dressed again before contunuing to wander for a bit. I realized that I was meant to meet Remus so I sent him a quick message via a paper airoplane that would fly directly to him and it wasnt long before he appeared at the top of the hill near the willow.

He quickly made his way towards me and when he got close to me I grabbed him and kissed him pulling him as close as I could and tried to do what the water hadn't. And it worked soon I had forgotten everything that had been bothering me and was able to relax. I started to pull away only to find that we where on the ground and Remus was on top of me- the lanky git.

"Hey, what was that for?" he panted out

"Nothing, am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend within an inch of his life?"

Moonys P.O.V

"Not when your hair is dripping wet and you disappear after one of our best pranks, what happened Pads?"

"Nothing, just went for a swim that's all."

"That's all?"

"Thats all."

"Ok, well you know if you have a problem you can come to me about anything."

"Course Moony..."

"C'mon then you nutcase, let's go celebrate!"

"C'mon Evans, it.. it's jus.. just one date!"

Was I hearing right? Was James Potter really begging Lilly to go out with him again? This is the 3rd time in two weeks, honestly the man had no pride whatsoever!

"I told you already Potter, no."

"Just one!"

"Tell you what, when you do something actually helpful and decent to someone then we can go on a date."

"I do something helpful and decent all the time, how do you think Peter is passing any of his classes?"

"See! There you again, putting..."

I started to zone out, I was nearly dozing off to be completely honest, when a heavy figure dropped onto my lap and long black hair was in my face.

"Get off you git!"

"Noooo there's nowhere else to sit!"

"Then why don't we go up to the dormi..."

"Hey, abomination! Stop being gay with that mudblood and get over here!" I saw Sirius go pale and saw his fists clench at the voice. I turned my head to see Regulus Black standing with a smirk on his face and arms folded.

"What do you want," Sirius spat. He was angry, oh very agry indeed. I tried to grab his arm but he shook me off.

"Mum just sent me a letter to inform you that you have to come for Christmas. You really shoudn't of made your owl stop delivering her messages, it's quite annoying to give you them."

"Then don't. And tell dearest mother to make some room in the hall, I'm bringing something special back."

"What, you're actually coming?"

"Of course I am, I wouldn't waste this perfect opprotunity to...What's that?"

"What?"

"What's on your arm?" Regulas looked away and quickly pulled down his sleeves. Sirius grabbed his arm and yanked up the sleeve. There on the young boy's forearm, was Voldemort's signature Dark Mark. My eyes widened and I took a step back, taking in this boy innocent boy with such a horrific tattoo.

I turned and looked at Sirius. He just stood there in shock for a whole minute. I didn't think he would for a long time but then out of nowhere, BAM. Regulas was on the ground with a bloody nose.

"How could you! You fool! You stupid young boy!" He shouted while kicking Regulus in the stomach, winding him.

'He's going to kill this boy, if he keeps going on like this,' I thought. I grabbed his arm and he stopped.

He didn't say anything but ran out of the Common room. By now the whole room was staring at the bloody boy on the floor who couldn't get up or catch his breath. I stared in horror and barely registered a flurry of red hair wooshing past and helping him up. From a distance I heard a voice saying, "Its stuff like this why I won't go out with you."

I felt sick to stomach, I couldn't begin to think what Sirius would feel.

Padfoots P.O.V

I was going to kill him, I was going to kill my parent for making him do it because there was no way he would do something so idiotic on his own. I really couldn't beleive it, my own brother, flesh and blood was a death eater. I ran out of the common room and down the corridors looking for the first place that I could go. I ended up back at the lake, the stars twinkling on the surface of the calm lake, but I soon changed that. I ripped of my cloak and the rest of my uniform and dove head first into the freezing cold waters off of one of the ledges that surrounded the lake.

I swam out to the middle again and dove down, pushing deeper and deeper into the water, testing my lungs with each time I did it. I had just surfaced again when I heard some one shout.

"SIRIUS" I then heard splashing and I decided to head back knowing that Remus couldn't swim well and that he would probably die try to reach me in the middle of the lake.

"Would you get back to shore Remus, you know you can't swim!" I shouted as i swam,

"You know it's never stopped me from saving your short arse before now though has it," I heard his snarky reply as he satrted to get out of the water when he saw me swimming closer. I hauled myself out of the water, my legs shaking and burning from the long swim and flopped beside Remus who was sitting on the bank.

"How are you feeling?"

"Numb, honestly, I feel numb all over," I replied quietly not wanting to show how much Reg had hurt me. I started to shake, the cold and shock starting to catch up with me.

"Come on we go back to the castle. get you warmed up and we can cuddle and talk about all this shit," Remus said as he pulled me up grabbing my uniform and bundleing my robes around my shoulders trying to wake me up. We wandered back up to the castle and I grabbed his hand half way back, wanting the comfort. we walked back in silence and I just looked at the castle, the only home that I had that I was loved and accepted (mostly).

We broke hands when we got up to the common room and I swiftly made my way up to the dormitory and into the warm shower cranking the heat up to the highest I could stand it, and then a little bit further. I was only in for a couple minutes when I heard some one get in beside me and pull me into their arms.

"Oh Padfoot... I promise that everything will be ok," and then I broke and the tears started.

MOONYS P.O.V

And so Halloween came to a close, with fireworks and drinks and meltdowns. It was full of ups and downs but I thought it went relatively ok. Kinda. We'll just have to carry on and try to stay calm through all of this.
