A/N: Ohmigod! The other day I went on the internet to find I had TONS of reviews (okay for some of you it might not be a lot, but for me it is!). I figured you guys might find it interesting that Chapter 3 was rewritten 3 times, and the first version involved Remus singing Led Zeppelin. This is the third version of this chapter but by the time I'm done typing I'll probably go back in and change half of it. I'm never really good with the middle of stories because I always form the beginning and the end and never consider the in between. Well, I hope it turns out for the best.

Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter. If I did Ron would be the ruler of everything and Fred and Gorge would be worshipped. And I don't own any of the songs.

Chapter 4 (A/N: Okay now I realized this shouldn't suck too much because 4 is my lucky number!)

By the time the Marauders had arrived for Charms Lily, Amelia, Brianna, and Victoria were already waiting outside. James immediately found Vanessa and they embraced like they hadn't seen each other in years, rather then in minutes. Remus, Sirius, and Peter turned to the girls for conversation rather then watch James. Everybody said hi. "Where's James?" Lily asked, though she knew perfectly well where James was and what he was doing.

"He's um, studying anatomy," Sirius said, feeling slightly embarrassed and disgusted that James would do that in the hall. At least, it felt weird because he knew it should have been Lily he was, for lack of a better term, studying with.

"Can I talk to you," Moony whispered in Victoria's ear, sending shivers down her spine ", Alone?" She nodded and they walked to a more secluded area.

"What's up Moony?" Victoria asked.

"I, hey! How do you know my nickname?"

"Prongs, Padfoot, and Wormtail only call you that every time they talk to you. I like it. It's cute." You wouldn't think it was so cute if I told you why it was my nickname, he thought.

"Okay," he said ", I wanted to know whether you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me this Saturday."

"Like on a date?" she asked inquisitively. He nodded. "Would that make me your girlfriend?"

"Well if you want…"

"Yes!" she said cutting him off. She was afraid she had seemed too eager and wondered if she should've played harder to get. But when she saw how relieved he was she didn't think that anymore. He put a light kiss on her lips and they walked into Charms together.

Today's Charms lesson was to get a crow to tap dance. So the room was full of tapping and birds crowing. This provided James with a chance to grill Sirius on how Lily reacted to him and Vanessa.

"If you don't like her," Sirius asked "Then why do you care?"

"Because he's obsessed!" Remus answered for James.

"I was just curious," he said, but he knew Remus's words held truth in them. Even though he had never dated her, James felt like he was cheating on Lily every time he even talked to Vanessa. He remembered how he'd seen Oprah once and the guys who cheated did it because it felt good. This doesn't feel good, he thought. In fact it feels like crap. But if it works… Under his breath, low enough only so he and the stupid crow could hear him he sang.
Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse.

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now...

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you...

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you

By the time class was over the crow was doing an interpretive dance to the song.

!#$&()

Friday rolled around and James was already annoyed with Vanessa. He didn't want to be near her when Lily wasn't around and she wouldn't go away. And they had only been 'dating' a day! Lily knew her friends wouldn't be any help so after classes on Friday she went to the only person she hoped could actually do something, Sirius.

Sirius was lounging on his bed reading a book. Okay that's a lie. He was trying to read the book, he really was, but it was so BORING! So instead he stared at the book and thought about his favorite subject, girls. Flirting with girls, dating girls, snogging girls, girls' boobs, you get the picture. So he was really shocked when there was a knock on the door and he heard a girl's voice say "Sirius, can I come in?" He knew it was Lily. Shit, he thought, the room's a mess. "One second!" he yelled and he threw all his stuff into his trunk. He even cleaned up James's things. Peter was a neat freak and Remus wasn't too bad so he didn't have to clean up after them. "Come in!" he yelled when he was satisfied.

Lily came into the room and sat on the bed. "What's up?" he asked.

"Sirius I have a secret, okay it's not a big secret but I'm trusting you. You're the only person I'm going to tell this too because you're the only one who can help. Am I making a mistake by trusting you?" He shook his head, no.

Music ends.

"Okay, you probably noticed the fungus that has been attached to James since yesterday," Lily started.

"You mean Vanessa?" Sirius asked. Lily nodded. "Giant fungus, I like the sound of that! You mind if I steal it?" She shook her head no and he made a mental note to use it against James.

"Anyway," Lily continued ", to be plain and simple, I think I'm in love with James." She slapped her hand over her mouth. She hadn't said it aloud once yet. And her first time saying it was to Sirius. She groaned.

"I see your problem," Sirius said, in a way only Sirius could.

"Well, what should I do?"

"You don't do anything except ignore him and Vanessa. And 'show your fiery passion'! He loves that"

"My what?" Lily asked, stupidly

"Just be you, okay?" Lily nodded and left the room. He knew he wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but Sirius knew he'd have to get at least Remus in on this. He knew he'd have a long way to go until this was fixed.
