A/N: HELLO POTTERHEADS! Hope you had a lovely Christmas, and here is your late present (to those who watch this story, that is) that is in all forms of the word late! Sorry I slacked behind, just was off somewhere being a hipster, buying scarfs and looking down on people in a condesending way. Anyway, I did not have a beta read this. TELL ME ALL OF MY MISTAKES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I only write to improve and I only improve to write.. or something.

Lily is a bitch in this one. BEWARE! But love her anyway, because she's awesome.

It had been ages since the big blow up between Remus and Sirius and it seemed they still refused to talk to each other, much less make up. James and Peter tried everything, but it was all in vain. They were now all in their third year, and summer was much less fun without the boys being civil. It was finally decided that this needed help from the brightest witch in their class.

"Why hello Lily, looking good today," James said casually, leaning against the wall next to Lily's next class. He lifted his arms above his head and whistled. Lily scoffed, moving to walk into class and ignore James, only to be blocked by the smirking boy. "We require… help from you."

"No James, I am not doing your homework, or helping you for that matter!" Lily said, sticking her nose up in defiance. James rolled his eyes and dragged a hand through his hair.

"No! That's not what I need; I need you to help me with… Remus and Sirius. They're having a bit of a lovers spat." Though he knew a bit was hardly the right word for it. Lily tapped a finger to her cheek, thinking.

"Is Remus still mad over that one time during herbology? That was ages ago." James nodded. Lily sighed, slumping "Okay fine, I'll help you some. But only for Remus, seeing as he's the only sane one of your freaks." Lily stepped on James' toe to make him move, and he did. He winced and hopped out of the way while Lily walked swiftly into the room, not looking back.

"What a woman…" James sighed, holding his throbbing toe.

OoOoOo

Lily wandered through the library, picking out books and thumbing through them. She did a quick scan of the area, looking for one lycan in particular. She had known Remus was a werewolf for a long time, and the witch did not care much about it. The boy was clever and brave enough to take the fall for any of his friends. Lily admired and respected him, even though his friends were idiots. She finally spotted the boy in the back of the room, reading up on, Lily smirked, werewolves. She walked over to him and flopped down in the chair across from him. Remus looked up from his book, smiling ever so slightly.

"Hey Lily," he closed his book and coughed some "Fascinating book." He muttered, placing it on the table next to him and giving Lily his full attention.

"Hey there, Remmy." Lily said, placing down her own books "I never much liked that one, seems a bit biased. Makes werewolves out to be totally evil, but has the author ever actually met one? Geez, I bet not. I bet they aren't just a bunch of crazy wolves ready to rip your throat-" Lily caught sight of Remus' face and stopped short, maybe talking about werewolves with a werewolf who didn't know that you knew he was a werewolf was… well, bad. "Anyhow, how are you, Remmy?"

Remus smiled, rolling his eyes. Lily didn't really hide the fact that she knew of his condition very well. Of course, Remus knew better than to just say 'its okay, Lils. I know I'm a deranged part wolf, no need to sugarcoat it'. Who knows who might hear?

"Well I guess I'm fine. Can't complain too much. Just been studying hard for runes." Lily smiled and nodded, coughing slightly to get the lycanthrope's attention.

"That's good… how, um, how is Sirius?" Lily bit her lip, not really knowing if that was the right idea. Remus' face went dark, and he looked down. The witch puffed up her cheek, instantly regretting being upfront.

"How should I know? I don't talk to that stupid dog." Remus said briskly. "Why if he had an animagus, that's what it'd be. A cowering dog, probably a Corgi or a Chihuahua."

"Oh that's not fair…" Lily said, not exactly knowing why she was defending a prat like Sirius. "I'm sure he was sorted in Gryffindor for… some reason. Not sure why yet, but it'll make itself known, eh?" Remus sighed, picking up his book.

"Yeah, I'm sure." He said. He turned back to his chapter, How to Properly Kill a Werewolf. Lily groaned to herself. She failed. She hated failure.

"Listen… Remmy, James and Peter are worried about you two. I am too, frankly. Everyone knows you and Sirius are—or at least should be—inseparable." Remus snorted. "And, well, he was your first friend here. You can't just throw away someone that special." Remus slammed his book shut and stuffed it in his bag.

"Thank you for your concern." He said. He picked up his bag and stood up "But I doubt that Sirius Black is all that special."

"Oh come on now! You're being stupid." Lily said, standing up as well, with full intent on following the werewolf. Madam Pince shushed them both, glaring. Remus started for the exit, Lily on is tracks. "Sirius Black has always been a good friend, right? A little moronic, but you've both gotten along well enough…"

"Thank you Lily!" Remus said again, brushing past some Hufflepuff first year. Madam Pince shushed the two again while Lily gave a look of apology to both Pince and the young wizard.

"No, you do not walk away from me… ugh!" Lily raised her wand "I'm so sorry, Remmy… locomotor Mortis!" Remus fell to the ground, his legs seemingly glued together. Lily walked over to him while Madam Pince shrieked "THERE IS NO MAGIC IN THE LIBRARY, MISS EVANS!" Lily picked up Remus with great effort.

"Lily, release me!" Remus shouted, wiggling pathetically. Lily grunted in reply, shaking her head no. She dragged the boy out of the library by the shirt collar after failing in carrying him out.

"YOU BETTER LEAVE, YOU RUFFIANS!" Madam Pince screamed while other students looked on in confusion, some giggling.

Outside the library, Lily propped Remus up against a wall, holding her wand under his chin and glaring.

"You WILL make up with Sirius, and you WILL play nice with him and the rest of the boys. Or so help me Merlin, I will…" she struggled to come up with a good threat "Will…I will tell everyone about your condition!" Remus gasped.

"You wouldn't! You don't even- You don't know it!" Remus fumbled with his words. Lily smirked.

"Please, I've established the connection between your disappearances and the moon cycles, I'm not an idiot." She said, jabbing Remus' chin with the wand, unsure why she took this so seriously in the first place. Remus gulped and nodded in assent and Lily smiled. "Good, it's settled then!" just as she pulled away, Professor McGonagall came walking by and gasped.

"Miss Evans! What in the world are you doing to mister Lupin?" Lily blushed, quickly reversing the spell on Remus.

"She was practicing spells on me, I volunteered." Remus said quickly. "I'm fine, no harm done." He glared at Lily, who looked down. McGonagall narrowed her eyes.

"Be that as it may, Miss Evans knows that practicing magic should be done with adult supervision and not on a live body. Five points each from Gryffindor." The Professor walked away, shaking her head. Lily looked at Remus, about to thank him, but he was already gone.
