Hey guys! Sorry about how bad the last chapter was! Hope you like this one better! Read & Review! Hope you enjoy!

Oh and to clear some things up, if you read my other story, we changed Marissa's name to Mica. Sorry the girl she was based on didn't like the name.

Lily P.O.V.

The next week passed by in a blur of taunts, congratulations, and plenty of well deserved pranks. Though the rumors were never confirmed, that only seemed to fuel them.

By now, no longer were only James and Lily going out, but so were Sirius and Lyra, and Mica and Remus. People are crazy! Lyra and Sirius would be dead by now, if they ever tried to go out! Idiots! Also, apparently, Peter was now gay. Poor Peter, some of those idiots actually believe it! As if!

Lily was pulled out of her thoughts by the bell ringing, Time for potions. Well, at least I have it with everyone.


Lyra P.O.V.

Lyra Irene Taylor, seventh year Gryffindor, seeker, and Siren (the girl equivalent to the Marauders, Lily Evans, Mica Bryden, and Lyra Taylor), was the sole student in the dungeon corridors. She was late for potions...again.

Slughorn is SO going to kill me! Maybe Lily can bail me out...She is in the Slugclub after all...

"Lyra, run, and stop talking to yourself!" Lyra muttered to herself, as she ran down the corridor, she had about two halls to go, and thirty seconds to get to the potions room, before she was late. Great! Run Lyra! Run!

Lyra ran through the door, just as the bell rang. Thank Merlin! When she looked up, however, it was to twenty curious faces, and Ug! Slughorn's here! Lyra looked around sheepishly."Hi, all!" She said enthusiastically. Show no fear, show no fear! Walk to your seat, sit down, keep smiling! Smile!

Lyra walked to her seat, giving herself a little pep talk as she went. She sat her books down, took out a quil, and pulled out some parchment, all the while feeling Slughorn's gaze on her.

He didn't say anything however, and just started his lesson.Thank Merlin, being Lily Evans best friend really does have some perks!

stop talking to yourself and pay attention your almost failing!

Lyra looked up and tried to pay attention to what Slughorn was saying.

"The instructions on how to brew this potion, are on page 77. Get to work!" He said, and the class brought out their cauldrons.

It took Lyra a few seconds to realize that the rest of the class was moving.

"Lyra! Come on! Time to work," Sirius was saying, he did not want to fail potions. His mother would kill him!

Why is Sirius talking to me, like that? He can work on this alone! It's not like...oh wait he's sitting by me. That means were partners! Wait! Where's Mica?

Lyra looked up, and saw her best friend sitting by Remus John Lupin! To make matters worse, she was laughing!

"What the?" Lyra said, looking confused.

Sirius looked up from the book, and saw what she was looking at. "Looks like their comfortable" he remarked, with a smirk.

They both sat there, staring, as Remus said something that made Mica laugh. He then touched her arm.

Oh my god! What is she doing?! She is so dead! I'm going to kill her!

The rest of potions, passed in a blur. Lyra just couldn't concentrate! Her mind kept wandering to Remus and Mica...


Mica's P.O.V.

Mica walked into potions, smiling about her evil plan!

Well, it's not technically evil. It's more of a genius plan. Ya! that's what I'll call it! My genius plan!

She walked past her normal desk, and headed for the one in front of it. Where Remus was sitting. Lily and james, who were sitting together, looked surprised at this, but she ignored them. She sat down, and smiled at Remus.

"Ready to make Sirius jealouse?" He asked, with an evil grin.

"You bet!" She answered.

This should be fun! I just hope Lyra doesn't overreact! I should have told her, but I really couldn't have risked Sirius overhearing.

"Ok, so, how are we going to do this?" Remus asked, breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Just small, casual flirting, and acting couple-y, but not to obvious," she replied.

Just then, Sirius came in, and saw Mica sitting in his usual spot, so he sat in hers.

He seemed to not make anything of the fact they were sitting together. He just sat down, and pulled out his quil.

"Stupid Sirius!" Remus muttered, which caused Mica to smile.

Just then, Lyra came running into the class, right as the bell rang."Hi, all!" She exclaimed, then sat down.

Slughorn started the lesson, and then went straight to Lily's table to talk to his 'star student'.

"Look at Sirius! He looks frantic! This is a really hard potion! He will probably fail without me!" Remus said, laughing slightly.

Mica turned, and burst out laughing at the sight of his face. He didn't notice, though. He was to busy saying something to Lyra.

"Wow! That was a priceless look! The great Sirius Black, scared because of a potion!" Remus continued, still laughing.

This set Mica laughing again, and Remus touched her arm for added effect.

This should really get him jealous! Mica thought happily.

Ten minutes later, the bell rang, and the class was still talking about Remus and Mica.


Lyra's P.O.V.

Lyra stood, and walked towards Lily, as soon as the bell rang. Sirius and James started whispering the second they saw each other. They all walked out of the class, with Remus and Mica slightly in front, still chatting away. Oblivious to anyone around them.

Just then, a Ravenclaw girl, who was friends with Lyra, spotted her and said, "They make such a cute couple! Don't they?"

"What?!" Lyra asked, looking shocked. "Are you posative, they're dating?" She asked.

"Well ya!" The girl said. "I'm as sure as I can be...you know, without any actual proof." She then laughed, and ran off.

"What.." Lyra whispered, obviously in shock.

"Don't worry! I'm sure it's not true!" Lily said reassuringly.

Oh ya! Sure Lily would trust her! Who wouldn't? She has that whole "oh look at me all I'm all innocent" thing going on.

No she doesn't! The logical voice in her head said. Lyra knew it was right.

She has the whole 'mess with me and I'll shove this guitar pick, so far up your ass you won't see straight for a week' thing going on. The voice kept saying, so then why the hell is she with Remus?! They don't fit together! I thought she liked Sirius.

Before Lyra knew it, she was in front of the Fat Lady, and Lily was saying the password. Lyra walked in, and the first person she saw was Mica. She stomped over to Mica, and started screaming. While James and Lily just stood watching the events pan out.

" MICA IVY BRYDEN! HOW DARE YOU GO OUT WITH REMUS?!" She asked, almost turning purple.

"I ah... wait ewww! Why would I go out with REMUS?" She asked, looking grossed out. "No offense, Remus," she added.

"Why would I go out with you?" Remus asked, equally appaled.

"Ya!" Mica said, looking at Lyra."Hey!" She said, just realizing what he had said.

"You said it first!" Remus retorted.

"SO THEN WHY WERE YOU SITTING BY HIM?! YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS, REMUS! AND YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY BABY, MICA!" Lyra yelled, she was sill mad.

"Baby?" Remus said questionaly. At this, Lyra's face dropped.

"Now look what you made me do!" She yelled at Mica, sounding like she was going to cry. She turned, and ran towards the portrait hole. Pushed past James, and rushed out the door.

"She likes me?" Remus asked, dazed.

"DUH!" Mica screamed at Remus. James looked surprised at this news, while lily and Mica couldn't believe they didn't know.

"Oh great! What have I done now? She hates me!" Remus said, looking very depressed. He turned, and sludged to the boys stairs. "I'm going to bed," he said, then left, looking like he had the world on his shoulders. Mica, Lily, and James just looked at each other.

Then Sirius burst through the door to the common room. "Whoa! Lyra was pissed! You could hear her screaming all the way in the bathroom!" He said looking shocked.

"Come on! Let's give Remus some space," James said shaking his head at Sirius. Then led the group outside to walk around the grounds.

The two Sirens, and two Marauderers walked around the grounds, staying mostly by the Whomping Willow, and the lake. James and Lily walked a few feet ahead of the other two. Mica looked like she was lost. "How could I have done this to her?" She asked Sirius, not expecting an answer.

"You didn't do anything." He replied, "you just sat in a different seat." He said, not knowing the truth.

Mica laughed bitterly, "Let's face it! I did a little bit more than just sit with him," she said.

"Wha..? You like him too?" Sirius asked, now COMPLETELY shocked.

"No! Of course not! I asked him to help me make this stupid boy, who has no clue I like him, jealous," she replied bitterly.

"Oh," was all Sirius had said, before Lily was next to Mica.

"You didn't?" She asked in an astonished voice.

"Well..." Mica said slowly.

"You did!" Lily grabbed her arm, and dragged her away from the boys.

James and Sirius looked at each other. "Who was she trying to make jealous?" Sirius wanted to know.

"No idea," was James' reply.

"Do you have ANY common sense?!" They heard Lily scream at Mica.

"You know I've got plenty of common sense, I just chose to ignore it!" She shot back.

"This is no time for Siren sayings!" Lily yelled.

"Who are the Sirens?" Sirius screamed at everyone in general. James, Lily, and Mica just stared at Sirius. EVERYONE knew who the Sirens where, they are just about as popular as the Marauderers.

"Wait! That's not what I meant to say, honest!" Siriuis said, realizing his mistake. "I meant to say, since when did you have sayings?"

"Since, like, forever!" Lily replied, forgetting she was mad at Mica.

"thats not fair Prongs! I want sayings too!" Siriuis started whining to James.

"Ok," was all James said.

"No!" Mica screamed.

"That's our thing! You guys get nicknames! Sayings are off limits!" Lily added.

"Fine!" Sirius said, still in his whining voice. "But, what are they?" He asked.

"Oh ya, tell us!" James said, looking interested.

Lily rolled her eyes, but chose to answer.

"Mica's is 'I've got plenty of common sense, I just chose to ignore it" she started. This made James and Sirius laugh.

"Mine is 'unlike you, I am not a nut," she continued, this just made the boys laugh harder.

"And Lyra's is 'unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not." This caused them to shut up.

"That does sound like Lyra!" Sirius commented.

"And the group saying is 'dangerously over-educated'," She finished.

"Ohh creepy!" James said with a smirk, while Sirius laughed.

"Don't make us hex you!" Lily thretened, as she and Mica drew their wands.

Just then, it began to rain. James grabbed Lily, and pulled her under a tree protectively.

Sirius and Mica just started laughing, and running around, enjoying the fun of playing in the rain.


Remus P.O.V.

Remus walked dejuctedly up the stairs, and into the boys dormitory.

How could I be some dumb, He wondered, I really like her, and now she probably hates me!

Remus stared around his room sadly, everyone always hates me, it's just a matter of time.

No they don't! You have James, Sirius, and Peter, The little voice in his head countered. He knew it was right.

I've got to fix this! He resolved after minutes of pure silence, I can do something!


Lyra P.O.V.

As soon as Lyra realised what she had said, she fled the common room. Pushing past James, and running through the portrait hole, she ran as fast as she could to the astronomy tower.

Lyra had always loved the stars, and this added to she was a night owl, astronomy was, naturally, her best subject. This worked out well for Lyra, as this caused the astronomy teacher to love her, and let her use the tower late at night.

Thank Merlin! Lyra thought, I need the stars and moon tonight!

Lyra walked into her peaceful domain, picked a telescope, and set out to find constellations. It's pretty clear tonite, that's good... Lyra thought to herself.

Lyra must have dozed off, because the next thing she knew, she was being awakened by a hand softly shaking her shoulder. Lyra looked up into dazzling midnight blue eyes, eyes that belonged to...Oh crap! Remus!

"Hi," Remus said softly, crouching down in front of her. Why did he have to come here?! I'm so embarrassed!

Lyra looked down at her lap, before softly replying, "Hey, yourself." Remus chuckled softly.

"Are you ok?" He asked abruptly. Lyra didn't know what came over her, but these soft words, spoken in the dead of night, broke through her shields and resolve.

"No!" She sobbed, "I just announced to my best friends, not to mention the guy himself, that I've been in love with you since SECOND YEAR!" Lyra yelled the last part, then broke down and sobbed into her pulled up knees.

The next thing she knew, she was being pulled into Remus' lap, and held protectively against his muscular chest. He rubbed little circles on her back, making soothing sounds the whole time.

Once Lyra had calmed down, Remus nuged her chin up, so that they were looking eye to eye.

"I love you too," he murmured, before kissing her softly on the lips, and returning her to the safety of his chest. Lyra let Remus hold her for a second, until what he had said registered.

"Wait! What?!" She half-yelled in excitement.

"I love you," Remus replied softly, this time it was his turn to look down. Merlin! He looks so cute when he's shy! He's so sweet!

Lyra seemed to ponder this for a second, but really she was just gently teasing him, before replying, "I love you too." Right before she crashed her lips to his, this tome for a full-on snog. After all, they were only teenagers.


After they had a good long cuddle -cough-snog-cough-, they noticed it had started to rain. He led her down the steps and out of the astronomy tower, "I don't want you to get wet," Remus replied to her questioning look. Awwww! He's so sweet!

When they walked inside the common room, Remus turned to go to his dorm, but Lyra grabbed his hand, and pulled him towards her's.

"What are you doing?" He asked nervously. Awww! That's so cute! He's nervous!

"Calm down silly! I Just want to spend time with you! Relax! Totally appropriate!" Lyra gently teased, noticing with pleasure that Remus was slowly turning red. Lyra laughed softly to herself, He really is sweet.

Lyra lead Remus to her bed, pushed him down, cuddled up to him, and pulled the blankets over both of them. "Nap time!" She announced, promptly closing her eyes. Lyra could feel Remus' confused stare, and fought the urge to giggle.

Remus gave in after a minute though, and pulled her snugly against him.

Next thing she knew, Remus was softly kissing her awake. Lyra opened her eye's cautiously, making sure it wasn't a dream. When the day's events came back to her, she looked at Remus questionably. What's he waking me for? I was comfortable!

"Owl." Remus replied to her look, pointing to the owl on the ledge of her window.

Lyra glared at him, "You didn't get it, why?" She asked grumpily. When all she got for response was a soft chuckle, she got up with a groan. "Fine! Be a bad boyfriend!" When Lyra realised what she had said, she looked at Remus in alarm. Oh crap! He hasn't asked me yet! Remus had broken into a wide grin however, and was watching her lovingly, propped up on one hand.

Lyra smiled, and turned back to the owl, took the letter, and promptly started to read it. What happened next, thoroughly shocked any who witnessed it.

Lyra dropped the letter, and started to scream as loud as she could. This caused Remus to burrow into the bed with a pillow over his head, the owl to fly off as fast as it could, and for five pairs of footsteps to hurriedly rush up he stairs.

Mica was the first of the group through the door. "What happened? Are you ok? Why," Mica stopped when she finally noticed Remus sitting on Lyra's bed. She looked from Remus to Lyra in confusion, then a look of recongnition crossed her face. She threw her hands up in a 'I don't want to know' kind of way, turned around, and marched back down the stairs.

James was the next through the door, quickly followed by Lily, with Peter and Sirius not far behind them.

James was abruptly stopped by a five foot blur flying at him. "James Emery Potter! You get over here right now! Fix this! Do you hear me?! FIX THIS!" Lyra screamed. She stopped however when she noticed that the others attention was no longer on herself. They were all staring at Remus in her bed, and Remus was slowly turning red. Lily had long before noticed, and was watching all this play out with a wide grin on her face, and a casual stance leaning against the doorway.

Sirius and Peter turned around and left, each of them wearing wide grins. James tried to do the same, grabbing Lily and dragging her through the door.

"Don't you walk away from me, young man! James Potter! You get your big ass, back here! RIGHT NOW!" Lyra yelled, following James down the stairs, Remus close behind. Lyra stayed at the top of the stairs, ranting. Remus chuckled, kissed her cheek, and walked down to join everybody else. When Lyra realised they were no longer listening to her, she stomped angrily down the stairs.

When she got to the bottom, Lyra realised that the Marauders were mercilecly teasing Remus, Mica was pacing, and the whole common room was staring at them.

"Leave him alone!" Lyra screamed! "We have a real problem!" This didn't cause anyone to look at her, so she climbed up on a table, and yelled, "James Potter! Get me back on the Quittich team NOW!"

This announcement caused a chain reaction. James abruptly spun around, Peter and Sirius stopped teasing Remus, and the whole common room fell silent.

"Wa-what?!" James asked frantically. "Since when are you not on?!" He yelled.

You could now clearly hear Mica ranting, "James and Lily are together, Lyra and Remus are together, where's my boyfriend? Oh ya, that's right, he's too busy snogging every other girl in Hogwarts! Idiot!"

Lyra turned toward her, and yelled, "Did you hear me? I got put on 'temporary probation'! I can't play Quittich!" This caused Mica to shut up, James to start ranting, and the whole Quittich team to surround her.

You see, Lyra was the star Quittich player, or one of them anyway, and she was the best seeker Gryffindor had, had in a long time! It was throughly depressing. Without all four of their star players, they would loose the Quittich cup.

This proved too much for poor Lyra, and she broke down crying. Remus walked up, and pulled her into a hug.

At this, James, Peter, and Sirius started teasing him again, the common room broke into surprised whispers, and Mica resumed her ranting.

This set Lyra off again.

As she yelled at the Marauders, she pulled Remus towards the portrait hole.

"Where are you going?" James asked, as she began climbing out the hole.

"None of your business!" She replied, still thoroughly pissed.

"Oh, and James," Lyra continued sweetly, "Don't expect us back tonight." At this Sirius broke into a wide grin, Peter and Lily chuckled softly, Mica continued ranting, and James looked shocked.

By the time he got over this shock, they were already half-way down the corridor, "I'll fix this!" James yelled after them.

"You better!" Lyra replied.


Sirius P.O.V.

As soon as Lyra yelled back, Sirius and Peter started talking about what had just happened, and Lily and Mica started giggling. James still looked a bit shocked, but recovered quickly. "Why can't you be like that anymore, Lily?" James asked.

Ya, Lily has stoped flirting with him as much as she did when they first started dating.

"James Emery Potter, you are the most arrogant, selfish, horrible boyfriend ever!" Lily screamed, forgetting that this bit of news was a secret, but it was to late now. As soon as she said this, the common room filled with whispers. A furious lLily turned, and stomped back up the stairs.

"Don't worry about her mate," Sirius consoled, "She's probably just PMSing," he added as Mica started walking up the stairs.

When she heard the last bit of his comment, she turned around, and did something nobody in the history of Hogwarts has had the guts to do. She slapped Sirius Vaga Black, hard, across the face! Sirius was in shock, he didn't make a sound,but even if he had, his voice would have been drowned out by the loud squeals of his fan club.

"How dare you hit the hottes guy in hogwarts?!" One very angry girl, screamed at her.

"How dare I?" Mica asked furiously, "I dare hit the hottest guy in Hogwarts, because hes acting like a non-understanding pig!" She answered the girl, spitting the last word like it tasted bad.

She turned aound, and resumed climbing the stairs.

"You think I'm hot, you think I'm hot!" Sirius was teasing her, from the bottom of the stairs

"Sirius, if I where you, I would shut up!" James said, looking worried.

Mica heard the teasing, and stomped back down the stairs.

"Black! You better shut up now!" She roared.

"Make me!" Sirius said in a teasing voice, but what came next was the last thing he expected. He had expected her to curse him, or something of that sort. Not to slap him AGAIN! Which, is exactly what she did.

She turned, and ran up the stairs, before he could say anything else. James looked at Sirius, and was very surprised to see him smiling. Sirius looked at James, and smiled even bigger.

"I like this side of her!" He said, enthusiastically. James just shook his head, and walked off. Leaving Sirius staring at where Mica had just disappeared.
