Chapter 4

James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus trudged up the stairs of Gryffindor tower, and into their dorm. "Whoa! Wait, back up a bit. You and Geniveve almost kissed?" James shouted, shocked that his introverted friend has almost had his first kiss ('He's fifthteen, for Merlins sake').

"That's right, almost. But then Padfoot barged in and ruined everything!" Remus explained, lounging out on his bed, his forehead just viable from behind the large hard cover book.

James stared at Sirius, shell-shocked. He looked to Remus then back at Sirius, and repeated the motion several times until his neck was sore, then turned to Sirius again.

"YOU DID WHAT?"

"Hey don't blame me, man! Your the one who went and got your head blown up! I was asking Remus for help!" said Sirius, desperately trying to defend himself. He and the rest of the Marauders knew from experience, a mad James was not a good James. But then again, neither was a lovesick James, or a happy James even.

The messy haired boy reached forward to grasp Sirius' shoulder, pulling him closer and whispering "Sirius! If you hadn't of interrupted we wouldn't have to do the plan!"

Sirius' face transformed from annoyed to puzzled and he replied in a hushed whisper. "What? Prongs I thought you loved the plan!"

"I do! But the plan is hard... We need Moony's help"

"Prongs, if we asked for Moony's help, he'd know about it!" Sirius reminded his friend.

"Damn it!"

Remus emerged from the safe haven of his book a glanced at the bickering pair, shaking his head in annoyance. "Ugh, I can't study under these conditions. I'm going to the l-"

"LIBRARY!" Peter finished, with an expectant grin.

"Lake! I was going to say lake" Remus corrected, his cheeks flushing crimson.

"Nooooo, you were going to say library, weren't you Remus? To visit your giiiiiiirrrrrrllllllfriend!" exclaimed Peter in a sing-song voice, while Jumping around the dorm.

"Wormy, Geniveve is not his girlfriend, thats the problem" Sirius informed him.

"Right, if you three will stop gossiping about my love life long enough for me to excuse myself, I'm going to the li- lake. I-I'm going to the lake" Remus excused himself and darted from the room.

Sirius slung his left arm around James' shoulder and guided him towards the table on which the map lay.

James picked up the map, and tapped it lightly with his wand muttering the words "I solemnly swear, that I am up to no good!" several labled foot prints appeared on the parchment before them.

Prongs nudged his glasses from the bottom of his nose and observed a particular set of foot prints belonging to none other then Severus Snape.

He pointed to the mark, gesturing for Sirius to look "Hey Pads, Snivellus is sitting in the court yard by 'imself"

"So?" asked Sirius, seeing no point in discussing the whereabouts of Sniv- Severus Snape.

"So!" James continued. "Snivellus is great at potions!"

Sirius shook his head thoroughly in disagreement. "Oh no way! We are not asking for Snivelus Snapes help with the potion!"

"I know, he's an insufferable git, but this is for Remus! Cant you just-"

"Nup! No way! Nuh-uh, there is no way in heaven or hell that I will ever, and I mean ever ask for Snivellus' help! NEVER!"

Severus quirked an eyebrow at the two pleading Gryffindor's in front of he had left the safe confines of the dungeon to get some fresh air, he had certainly not expected a visit from James Potter and Sirius Black. Not one that didn't involve him getting hexed, cured, transfigured, or covered in a suspicious purple liquid anyway.

"The great and not so admirable James Potter is asking for my help? The slimy retch of Slytherin house, as you and your companions would say?" he questioned.

Sirius and James gulped and nodded, swallowing what was left of their Gryffindor pride. "Thats right".

"And you want me to brew Amortentia, so you can help your flee bitten friend Lupin get a girl?"

"That just about sums it up"

"Alright."

"Wait, what? You'll do it?"

"Yes, on one condition though."

James and Sirius couldn't believe their ears, they thought they would have to imperio him, when they received an answer.

"Anything! You name it Sniv- *ahem* Severus"

"Stop trying to court Lily Evans"

James smile disappeared from his face. "Whoa, ok first of all I'm fairly certain nobody has used the term 'court' since Dumbledore was young. Secondly, what kind of request is that! I can't possibly stay away from my Lily-flower!" James exclaimed in a panic.

"Do you want me to brew the potion or not?" Snape inquired.

"Yes but-" James tried to argue but was cut short by the black haired Slytherin.

"No 'buts' Potter. You leave Evans alone and I'll make your love potion, do we have a deal?"

James frowned. This was a tough decision to make. Remus rarely ever liked a girl. Don't misinterpret that, its not like he's gay (despite James' original theories..), its just that from what James has observed Remus always seems to be focused on his studies, or helping the Marauders out, always putting others first. He deserves love. Not just the brotherly love like he has with his friends, or the kind of love one feels for family, but true love. He deserves someone who cares about him as much as Remus does for those around him. But then their was Lily..

James had loved Lily since the moment he had first seen her at Kings Cross station when they were eleven years old. Ever since then he and the Marauders had done multiple schemes to try and earn the heart of Lily Evans, all of which failed miserably and ended with him being rejected.. again. James made his decision, 'I've just got to face the truth. Lily is never going to love me and that's that. Atleast Geniveve reciprocates Remus' feelings.. '.

James sighed "Ok Snape. You've got yourself a deal"

Authors Note: Grrr, I hate cliff-hangers, dont you? Sorry this was kind of short, but I had to end it there, cuz I need to leave room for the important stuff in future chapters (I have big BIG plans! ;) ). Also, I apologize for the sad ending of this chapter but it had to be done, no worries though I promise it will have a happy ending.
