Here ya'll go! This is just a little fluff, but bear with me because there's some juicy stuff coming up with Sirius/Lily/James/Vanessa. Reviews are appreciated

"Oh my gosh, have you seen Helen's chest this year?" Vanessa gossiped as her and James sat alone, as usual, at the lunch table. It had been two weeks at Hogwarts, and the seating arrangements at the feast hadn't changed a bit.

"Was I supposed to?" James replied dryly. "Most girlfriends don't want their boyfriends looking at other girls chests."

"I mean her chest size compared to what she was last year," Vanessa replied impatiently. "Duh. She's at least two sizes larger; it's official. She's stuffing."

"Who cares?" James said, shrugging as he tried not to watch Lily and Sirius walk by to meet Alice, Mary, Remus and Peter in their usual spots. So far he had barely talked to Lily, and not at all to Sirius. The only times the two Heads conversed were when they had to discuss Prefect schedules and such, and even then Lily did most the work. They also did their very best to avoid each other, and were so far very successful.

"And have you seen that Mary McDonald's hair?" Vanessa continued, tucking her feet under her and leaning into James. He found this quite annoying because he couldn't properly eat.

"What about her?" he said defensively.

"Her hair. It's hideous."

"I think she looks fine," James snapped, turning back to his lunch. "Besides, you know Mary and I are close friends-."

"-were close friends-."

"-why do you have to say that stuff about her around me?"

"Oh, some trouble in paradise?" Sirius barked dryly from behind them. They both whipped around to glare at him.

"What do you want, Black?" Vanessa snapped.

"You pigs are hogging all the mashed potatoes," he replied, nodding at the huge bowl sitting in front of them.

"Then take it and go away."

"Just so the rest of the Great Hall can listen to you guys fight?" he challenged, all the while watching James who just sat there as he and Vanessa quarreled.

"We don't fight. Do we, James?" she said in her high-pitched voice, linking arms with her boyfriend. "We're perfectly in love."

"Seriously, I feel bad for you Potter. I guess too many Bludgers to the head makes you lose it."

"Shut up," James replied lamely, looking over to see Lily watching the three of them, frowning. He stood up to leave. He all of the sudden wasn't hungry anymore.

"Yeah James, let's go find a broom cupboard," Vanessa nodded, picking up her bag and handing it to James expectantly. Sirius watched in awe as James sighed and took it for her, letting her lead him out of the room.

"Have fun snogging! I hope you don't wipe off more than her first five layers of make-up, because after that she gets damn right frightening!"

"Did you really have to yell that for the entire hall to hear?" Lily chided while trying to muffle her laughter as her friend sat down next to her.

"Just you watch," Sirius said, helping himself to his newly acquired potatoes. "He's this close to cracking. And when he finally realizes how much of a bitch she is, and how he wants you Lily, it's going to be too late."

"Why is it going to be too late?" Mary asked. As much as she used to absolutely hate Sirius Black, in the past two weeks he had quite grown on her.

"Lily and I will be married by then," he shrugged simply. Everyone else at the table choked on their food, especially Lily.

"W-what?" she stuttered, gazing over at Sirius like he was crazy.

"Did I forget to mention that?" he said sweetly, batting his long eyelashes. "Honey?"

"Shut up," she laughed, standing up. "We're going to be late for Charms. You coming Remus?"

"Hmm? Yeah," he said, grabbing his book bag and following Lily and Sirius out of the Great Hall.

"So how is your transformation going to play out this year without James?" Lily whispered to the two boys.

Both of them stopped dead in their tracks, whipping around to stare at the red head. Of course, they had already known that Snape knew thanks to the accident two years ago that all of the Maurderer's had agreed to forget, but he had sworn not to tell anyone. Was it possible he had told Lily?

"How do you know?" Remus hissed, pulling Lily aside into an empty classroom so no one could overheard. Sirius followed, closing the door.

"I'm not stupid, Remus," Lily shrugged. "You've been my friend for years. Plus we've had Prefect patrol together and I do extra research on everything in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Astronomy. I can do the math."

"You haven't….you haven't told anyone, have you?" Remus said hesitantly, prepared for the worst.

That was not what he got. What he got was a punch in the arm followed by a huge hug. "Of course not! Who do you think I am? Trust me, your secret's safe with me."

"How long have you known?" Sirius asked.

"Two years."

"Two years?"

"You act like it's the end of the world, Remus," she giggled, nudging her friend.

"It could be the end of my world," he said, looking exceptionally pale.

"But what I never figured out was how Sirius, Potter and Peter went along with you?" she said, looking hopefully at the two boys. "I spent sleepless nights wondering why none of you came back dead."

"Sorry to always dash your hopes," Sirius laughed as Remus shivered at her comment. "And by the way, we're not going to tell you our secret."

"Why not?" she whined as they exited the classroom and hustling to Charms. They were for sure going to be late.

"Even though we're not friends anymore, we still have to honor the Maurder code," Sirius said sincerely. "And we all agreed that if anyone ever told you about it, it would be James."

"Are you guys ever going to make up?" she sighed as they entered the classroom.

Sirius looked back at her sadly. "I don't know Lils."

For the first time in her life, Lily passed notes during class. And Sirius replied back, definitely an expert on the task of hiding it from the new teacher, Professor Flitwick, even though he was a total push over.

L- I honestly think you and James should make up.

S- Since when is he 'James'

L- Since he's made you so unhappy

S- I'm not unhappy

L- Don't try to lie to me, I know you better than you think. You've hardly pulled any pranks

S- I've matured a lot

L- As if

S- If you super- duper- upper-uber want me to, I can nod at him in the hallway and ask him about how we're going to help Moony. But I'm not going to be best mates with him anytime soon

L- That's all I ask. And thanks for that huge clue

S- Shit. What clue?

L- Moony. You call Remus 'Moony' because of his full moon issue. Now I just have to figure out why Prongs, Padfoot and Wormtail

S- You sound like James. He called it the 'furry little problem'. And aren't you clever, tricking old Sirius

L- Yep, I'm just another Sherlock Holmes

S- Who?

L- Never mind. I think we should stop because Potter just told me to stop passing notes to my boyfriend

S- Ooh he's jealous, let's keep going

L- As if James Potter could get jealous, he just moves on to the next girl. And I'm stopping because Potter threatened to give me detention. Damn his stupid Head Boy-ship

S- Trust me, Lils. There's a lot more going on in James Potter's head than you think

Lily didn't know why, but Sirius's last comment unsettled her. She didn't know why, and she tried to forget but she found herself wondering about it late that night. Little did she know that her dorm mate was thinking about her as well.
