Sirius hadn't heard the end of Lily for the past week. It was another dull and gray Saturday morning and he couldn't shut James up. "On Thursday we were walking around the Shrieking Shack and I was all 'Orchideous, here's some lilies for my gorgeous Lily' and she was all 'You're so strong and sweet and you make me super happy'. "

"She digs me." James jumped up off his bed and spun like a ballerina on his right foot. He tip-toed past Peter's bed, over to Sirius' and swung up his left foot.

"Bloody hell, James. For the past seven days you won't shut your pot hole about the red-head! I've had enough, just stop talking before I strangle you." Sirius looked at James with a death stare.

"Geez, James. You've gone and gotten Sirius mad, not to mention a bloody nose." Remus sighed as he pulled a ratty red shirt over his head and sprinted to the washroom. Sirius held a grungy sock to his nose, it didn't seem to faze him that the article of clothing had collected what seemed to be countless dirt and sweat stains. Remus returned with a moist washcloth and offered it to Sirius.

"Look I don't expect you to understand my infatuation. It's not like either of you will ever get a girl!" James said mockingly. He watched as the others face expression changed. They seemed unconvinced so he continued. "Sirius, no girl wants to settle down with a total player and tart like you. Remus all you do is keep your head in books and act like a know it all prefect. You're a pussy, nothing more to it."

James shot a quick glance at Peter who had just raised his head at all the racket. James felt obliged to include him. "And then there's Peter. Silly Peter, so stupid and useless. You're just a tag along, nothing more than a sidekick to me. None of you would know love if it smacked you in the face." James stormed out cursing them and slammed the door behind him.

Remus' premature wrinkles deepened. Sirius wasn't angry anymore, none of them were. They just all looked depressed. They knew that even though James was over a line to say those things to his best friends, everything he said was true.

Sirius didn't know love, not from his mother not from any woman. Remus was too busy with studies to put effort into a relationship, he was more mature and charming then James but no one else would have guessed. Leaving Peter, who knew that he was everyone least favourite Marauder and that he was only associated with them because he was the test subject.


It had been two days since the argument and everyone had made up. Each owned up to their own share of the issue. Today was Monday, and that meant only one thing: double Potions with the Slytherins.

Lily was sitting beside Severus Snape. He had somewhat long hair that was the colour of a ravens, it was glossy. Severus' hair had always interested Lily. Lily and Snape had somewhat of a secret friendship; she helped him with studies and spoke to him whenever she saw him.

Today she was consoling him; he had failed his Muggle Studies quiz. "How was I to remember that Muggles can't use Floo Powder? Doesn't everyone use Floo?" Lily hugged Severus around the shoulders and assured him that everything would turn out, and that finals were ages away. "Severus, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. You excel in the Dark Arts". Severus wiped his face and straightened up, smiling at Lily he spoke softly "And everything you touch loves you." Lily blushed.

James and The Marauders burst causing the usual scene. James' eyes shot directly at Lily laughing alongside Severus. "They're making googly eyes..." James huffed, feeling rage start at his toes and rising to his ears. He was going to explode, he pointed his wand Severus' head, "Densaugeo" James huffed. A crowd watched as his teeth grew and grew. His front teeth were so large now that they couldn't fit into his mouth. They hung out, crooked and yellow, he covered his face. Lily noticed and ran up to James slapping him and then hugging him forgivingly.

"He looks more like a rat then, Wormtail" said Sirius laughing ferociously. Today they were making a foreign Potion that could make a person appear to be what they personally desired. It was a cousin to the PolyJuice Potion, on a positive note it only required an hour time to create.

The Marauders worked together, leaving Lily with Severus ("Are you sure you want to pair with the other house?" The Professor asked).

Severus looked at Lily distantly and smiled, he always smiled when Lily was around. He asked to meet her in an hour's time in the Library, she nodded silently and smiled.


Severus smiled, tonight was going to be a good night. He could tell. He whispered "Incendio" numerous times to light several candles. He puffed into his hand so he could smell his breath. "Orchideous" A bouquet of roses appeared in his hand. He danced and swayed with the wind, standing out on this balcony he felt like he was on a huge boat sailing smoothly on water. The black sky was filled with millions of bright stars.

Lily saw a large shape beyond the door to the balcony. There were rose vines all along the door handles; she followed them to a note at the top of the frame.

Dear Lily,

Time to come clean.

"Alohomora", the glass door opened and standing there was Severus...
