I have put the rating up to M do to Seneca's past that I am now putting into this chapter. So this is the heads up that this story is now rated M.

After Seneca had bested Sirius in an argument everything went smoothly, Sirius didn't talk much. Instead she spent her time talking to Remus and Peter. She actually enjoyed her night getting to know them, the only person she could have done without would have been Sirius Black.

"You know I think he likes you." Lilly said breaking her from her thoughts, "I mean he couldn't stop looking at you."

"Who?" Seneca asked unsure of which he Lilly was referring to. Perhaps it was Remus Lupin she had actually taken to him that dinner, he was kind and different from the other boys. His smile was shy but some how it captivated her.

"Sirius of course" Lilly said with a laugh, his eyes never left you.

"Sirius?" Seneca laughed his name "You have to be kidding me, he was the one complaining to James that I was coming along, don't you remember?"

"Sure but that's him being him, once you get past-" Lilly paused "Well his." She couldn't seem to find the word she was looking for "Once you get past his attitude, he's a really great person. You have to take into account his family doesn't always get along with him, really the only family he considers family is James and his parents, he's never really been loved, perhaps you can tame him the way I tamed James."

"Tame? Really Lilly" Seneca said as she pulled on her nightgown, "You can't tame men, James is just whipped, and there is no way Sirius Black is in to me, and if he was by any out of this world chance, I don't return the feelings."

"Really?" Lilly asked, "Everyone fancies him at one point or another, even I have at one point."

"If I had to pick out of those guys I would pick Remus, there is something about him, and he's different from them." Seneca said with a smile, and then she frowned "And Sirius Black is just some idiot who thinks the world is at his feet."

"I think you two would be good together." Lilly told her as she climbed into bed, "And I'm good at knowing these things, I bet you two will end up together one way or another."

Seneca laughed "Ok there is two things wrong with what you said, how would he and I ever be good from each other, we come from two different worlds, and two I'm going to make sure it never happens just to prove you wrong." She climbed into bed as well and laid down shutting her eyes with every intention to prove Lilly wrong.

"We will see" Lilly said with a smile as she closed her eyes.

"How in the bloody Hell did Lilly turn her into that?" Sirius asked as he lay back on his bed, "How could someone so plain turn into someone so-" he looked at James "How did I over look her?"

"Perhaps because she never takes the time and day to look like she didn't just wake up," said to him.

"Yeah" Sirius said "I mean if she actually ran a brush through her hair for once I could really see myself with her."

"Pad foot do you always have to be so shallow?" asked Remus "She's beautiful the way she is you shouldn't want someone to change."

"Mooney come on get off your high horse, you haven't spoken to her before tonight either when she was plain Jane even you ignored her." Sirius snorted at him.

"I'm not on a high horse, I'm just saying if you want to win her over you are going to have to learn to like her plain Jane self as well, because you will have no chance with her if you only want her to look good."

"Why do people always give me lectures on my love life? I know how I want to live."

"I doubt it Pad foot" Remus told him, "You are just confused yourself, you don't know what you want."

"Guys it late" James said, "Go to sleep" he laid down on his bed, "And Sirius if you go after her and hurt her I won't hear the end of it from Lilly, so don't think about just screwing her and leaving."

"Maybe I want more then just that, maybe I want a relationship." He waited for an answer, but he was only answered with the other boy's laughter.

"Yeah you want a relationship" James said in between laugher, the other boys laugh echoed with his.

Sirius sat up and looked at the others "Hey I can have one, I can get her to want to be in one with me, and it will be successful, just watch. Relationships are easy."

"Good Luck with that Sirius" James said "Good Luck with that."

"She must be broken." Sirius said sitting next to the other Marauders, "She strikes down everything I try!" he tossed his books next to him as he pulled some food on to his plate, "No girl has been willing to with stand my charm, and now here it is a week and she still hasn't said yes to me!"

"Maybe you're not her type." James said without looking up from his homework that he was doing.

"Not her type? I'm everyone's Type" Sirius said to his friend.

"And that's the reason she's going to keep saying no." Lilly said sitting next to James, she kissed him on the cheek then turned to look at Sirius. "You see there are two reasons she is saying no, and that is one because she hates your superior attitude and you I can get anyone I want your lucky I'm talking to you tone of voice, and two because I said she would end up with you and now she wants to prove me wrong."

"Do you saying the only reason she is saying no to me is because she wants to prove you wrong?" He smirked at Lilly

"That's not what I said Sirius, you need to check your attitude and prove yourself to her."

"Prove myself?"

"Just take it from me, she's had a hard life, perhaps you can be her prince charming."

"Prince who?"

"Never mind it's a muggle thing." Lilly said forgetting he had grown up with different stories, she didn't know about the princes that always saved the girl. "What I'm saying is you have to earn her trust, earn her she is far better when any girl you have ever been with and unlike them she won't jump for you, instead you have to jump for her and perhaps somewhere along the line she will jump with you."

"Your Strange Evens."

"Perhaps, but she's my best friend, trust what I say." Lilly said with a smile. She could see through Sirius exterior, she could see he wanted nothing more then to be loved. His family all turned from him he pretended like he didn't care, but she could tell it affected him more then he let on. Some how she just knew he would be good for Seneca, like she had said earlier she had a hard life. Her father used to beat her and he had even forced himself on to her many times taking her innocents from her. From the time she was five until she was nine before child services found out and took her away from him. It just so happened she was placed into foster care with Lilly's family, she had been so guarded back then Lilly had ended up being her only friend. As they grew up they both happened to get letters to Hogwarts and they went there together. Seneca seemed to improve from her past and push it away, but a part of her still was affected by what her father had done to her. That's why she never tried to make herself appealing to men, she didn't try to do anything to please any male, Lilly wondered if she would ever get past what her father had done to her. Something told Lilly that Sirius could show her everything was going to be ok, some how Lilly knew that both Seneca and Sirius who had been hurt by their families could be there for each other.

"Trust me Lilly I know how to get girls." Sirius said to her

"Well your proving yourself right by how close you are to getting Seneca." Lilly told him with a smirk that only earned her a glare from Sirius.

"Lilly." Seneca said as she walked up and sat next to her "Can you help me either my home work? I'm just not getting this spell."

"Of course Sen." Lilly said as the girl sat next to her.

Sirius smiled and slid down the bench from sitting in front of James to now sitting in front of Seneca.

"You know Sen I can help you with that, I'm brilliant." He said a smirk playing on his face. He looked at the girl who had her long blonde hair pulled into a pony tail, she wore no make-up and wrinkles were in her robes, but some how all he saw was the girl that sat at the table a week ago. He could still see her as she had been that night even now when she looked like she just rolled out of bed.

"I much rather Lilly help me, and don't call me Sen, only my friends can call me that." She snapped at him, in the last week he had pushed every button she had, she didn't want to have him deal with him now.

Remus sat down next to Sirius "Hey Sen." He said with a soft smile

"Hey Remus." She said smiling back at him before turning back to Lilly and her homework

"If you need help Sen I can help out too since we are in the same class." Remus told her.

"Wait why is he able to call you Sen?" Sirius asked

"Because he's my friend." Seneca snapped at him "And yes Remus I would love that."

"Can I speak to you alone?" Sirius asked as he stood up and dragged Remus away from the table. "What are you doing Mooney?" he asked

"What?" Remus asked "What do you mean what am I doing?"

"Oh if you need help Sen I can help you out because we are in the same class." Sirius mocked "Due I called dibs on her what are you trying to do snipe her from me?"

"I'm not trying to do anything Sirius, just help out, Lilly isn't in the class but she is still trying to help her it would be better for me to help Sen."

"You sure you don't want her because she seems pretty smitten with you?"

"Oh come on Sirius you know me, I don't want a girl right now my life is to messed up, I'm not about to go after a girl and expose her to all my problems."

"Well technically you only have one problem, one big problem not many problems." Sirius said with his smirk

"Shut up" Remus said with a bit of a laugh. "Now lets go back to the table my food is getting cold."

"Alright, just when you helping her out put in a good word for me ok?" He said as they walked back to the table

"Sure but I don't know how much I can do before the Christmas break." he said as they approached the table.

"Just do you best." Sirius added as he sat down and began to eat his food trying to figure out a way that he could get Seneca to see him as a friend. How was he so different from Remus? He needed to find a way to get her to see him as more then a friend, but how? This girl really did make him think; think more then he had ever about a girl before.

Next chapter will be their Christmas break I have many plans for it so stay tuned. I know I'm updating fast, but I didn't go out to the frat house tonight and all my friends did so I can't stop myself, I may have another chapter up tonight now that the idea for the next chapter is fresh in my head.
