"Hey, Sirius." I say as I sit next to him in the Great Hall, dragging Jake behind me.

"Hey, Kat." He answers, not looking up from his food.

"Where are the other boys?" I ask, sitting down next to him, Jake sitting next to me. "Just help yourself to whatever you want, Jake." I smile at Jake.

"They're coming soon." Sirius says, finally noticing the eight year old sitting next to me. "Who's this?"

"Jake." I say, scooping mashed potatos onto my plate. "He's my brother."

"Oh." Sirius nods. "What's he doing here?"

"I'm taking care of him while my brother goes to Romania." I answer.

"And Caleb's going away, too!" Jake adds, grinning at Sirius. "I like your hair."

Sirius barks out a laugh. "Thanks."

I smile. "Jake, this is Sirius."

"Why is it serious?" Jake asks, looking confused. "Is he your boyfriend?"

I choke on my pumpkin juice, but Sirius just grins.

"Yes, I am." He answers, putting his arm around my shoulders.

"No, you're not." I say, shaking off his shoulder and pusing his face into his food. "And his name is Sirius, Jake."

Jake laughs as Sirius lifts his head, mashed potatos all over his face, and I join in.

Sirius stares at me in disbelief before grinning mischeviously, grabbing my neck and pulling me towards him. My lips crashed into his and I felt the potatos from his face falling on mine, but thats not the only thing I felt, there was fire. It was everywere. Because Sirius was everywhere. He was all I could think about. All I could feel.

I hear people wolf whistling and snap out of it, pushing Sirius away.

"Any other girl would be in a puddle at your feet right now." I say quietly. "But this one's supposed to be dating your best friend, remember?"

Sirius stares at me, dazed, before remembering James. "Shit."

"Don't say that in front of Jake!" I scold. Looking over at Jake to see him staring at both of us, but then, seeing my face, starts laughing.

"You have potatos on your face." Jake laughs, taking a napkin and wiping it off for me.

"Thanks." I smile, glaring over at Sirius.

I hear someone wolf whistling behind me, and turn.

"Ah, shut it." I say, scowling at some fifth year boy. "It was a friendship kiss."

"Funny." He sneers, "I've never seen a 'friendship kiss' with tongue."

"And I've never seen you with a black eye, but there's a first time for everything." I retort, standing up off the bench.

The boy recoils, "You're down-right scary."

"And you're down-right stupid." I snap, mocking him. I look over at Jake and see him grinning.

"What?" I ask, seeing Sirius grinning as well.

"You just owned that kid." Sirius laughs.

I laughed, "Let's go find a room for you to stay in."

"Can Sirius help?" Jake pleads.

Sirius looks at me, obviously expecting me to be mad at him and say no.

"Yeah, sure." I smile, "If he wants to, that is." I add quickly.

"I'm in." Sirius says immediatly, standing up. "I bet the Marauders would like to meet Jake."

"Who are the Marauders?" Jake asks, confused.

"It's a group of really stupid boys." I tease, grinning.

"And one girl." Sirius adds, looking at me.

"Then I take back the stupid part." I smile.

Sirius laughs, "Nah, it's still there."

I hit his arm.

"Bloody hell, woman!" Sirius exclaims, holding his arm. "You should be a beater!"

"She used to!" Jake says, skipping along beside me. "She's awesome at Quidditch!"

"I am not!" I insist, shoving him.

"You beat Saunder." Jake points out, "And he was Quidditch Captain at Durmstrang."

"And you didn't play?" Sirius asks, looking at me confusedly.

I shake my head, laughing bitterly. "No girls allowed."

"No way!" Sirius says, eyes wide.

"It's bloody stupid." I agree, "They want all girls to be perfect ladies."

Sirius laughs like I've just told the funniest joke in the world. "No offense, but you are anything but."

Jake laughs too, "You have a funny laugh," He observes, "Sounds like a dog."

Sirius looks at me, alarmed.

I shrug, "It does."

Sirius smiles and shakes his head.

"Kat is a dog." Jake blurts out.

I look at him and laugh, "Only sometimes."

"Do it now, Kitty." Jake pleads, grabbing my hand.

"Not right now, buddy." I say.

"Please?" Jake pleads, giving me his puppy eyes.

I groan, "Don't look at me with those blue eyes."

"Please Kitty?" He asks again, jutting out his lower lip.

"I will if you will." Sirius offers.

"Deal." I smile, sticking out my hand for him to shake.

Sirius lifts an eyebrow at me, staring at my hand.

"Just shake it." I say, and he does.

We both pull out our wands.

"Okay, on three. One..."

"Three!" Sirius says, pointing his wand at himself and transforming.

"Cheater." I say, transforming.

"Woah!" Jake exclaims, "You're one, too!" He points at Sirius' dog form.

Sirius barks and it sounds like his laugh.

"You two look alike," Jake observes, "Except you're different colors."

And we were. While Sirius was black, I was white, complete opposites. He also looked like the grim, while I just looked like a normal wolf.

I walked behind Jake and right through his legs, sitting him on my back.

Jake laughs, grabbing hold of my fur.

I bark loudly at Sirius before taking off at a run towards the Gryffindor Common Room, Sirius following behind.

When we're around the corner from the portrait, I stop, not wanting the Fat Lady to see me change into my human form. I throw Jake off my back with a thump and change into my human form.

"Sorry, Jake." I apologize, helping him back onto his feet. Sirius was standing behind me, already in his human form.

"S'okay." He says, smiling suddenly, "That was fun."

Sirius grins, "Yeah, it was! We should do that more often!"

"Tomorrow!" Jake exclaims, "And the next day!"

"And the day after that!" Sirius agrees. "Next time you can ride on my back!"

"Yeah!" Jake exclaims, grinning hugely.

I smile at the two of them, glad Jake gets along with Sirius. "Let's go find your room." I mumble, taking Jake's hand and walking towards the portrait hole.

"Chocolate Frogs." Sirius says to the Fat Lady and she opens the door without a word, allowing us entrance.

"You won't be able to sleep in the girls room." I say, walking across the empty Common Room - everybody was at Dinner.

"Why not?" Sirius asks.

"Well, firstly, because the stairs will transform everytime he walks up them. And secondly, I don't think the girls would agree to it." I explain.

"He could stay with us!" Sirius offers, "The Marauders, I mean. We have a room to ourselves!"

I look at Jake, who's looking at me hopefully.

I shurg, "It's the best thing, I guess. As long as it's clean." I add quickly, before the boys could get too excited, "I don't want him getting sick."

Sirius laughs, "I'll show you." Sirius runs up the stairs, me right behind him, and Jake right behind me.

He throws open the door, revealing James, Remus and Peter inside.

"Hey, Sirius." Peter greets, "Hullo, Kat."

"Hey Pete." I grin, closing to door behind Jake.

"Mates, this is Jake. Kat's little brother. He's going to stay with us for a while." Sirius explains, sitting on his bed.

"'Ello, Jake." Peter says, "I'm Peter."

"Hi." Jake says, smiling.

Jake never gets shy. Lucky bloke.

"I'm Remus." Remus says, "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too." Jake grins. Jumping up on Sirius' bed.

"I'm James." James says lazily, lounging on his bed.

"Hullo." Jake greets.

"You can stay..." Sirius transforms a bed next to his, "There."

Jake grins, "That was awesome!" Then goes to jump on his bed.

"Why is he here?" James asks, flopping his head over to look at me.

"My brother is going to Romania to study dragons." I explain, "And he can't stay in the girls dorm."

"And Caleb went somewhere, too!" Jake adds.

"Where did he go?" Remus asks, looking at us curiously.

"We don't know." I say, "He went on a top secret mission for the Aurors."

They're all silent, obviously thinking about Voldemort and how thats probably who he's after.

"Woah." Peter says finally.

"He'll be fine, though." I say quickly, looking at Jake's panicked expression. Hopefully, I add quietly in my head.

"So did anyone finish their potions essay?" Remus asks. And I breath a sigh of relief, happy for the subject change.

James snorts, "No. I'll do that tomorrow."

"It's due tomorrow, James." I laugh.

"What?" He yelps, jumping up from his bed. "I gotta get to the Library, then. See you lot later."

"I'll go with you." Peter says, standing as well, "I have to finish my homework for Charms."

"Take the cloak!" Remus says quickly, throwing James' invisibility cloak at them.

"Thanks." James says before running from the room, Peter on his heels.

"So if you and Sirius aren't dating, why did you kiss?" Jake asks suddenly.

Remus' eyes widen, "You did what?"

"It was Sirius!" I accuse, pointing a finger at him.

Sirius gapes at me. "You shoved my face in my potatos! What was I supposed to do?"

"Not bloody kiss me!" I say.

"Why did you shove his face in his potatos?" Remus asks, looking confused.

"Because he told Jake he was my boyfriend." I explain.

"I am so confused." Remus shakes his head, "Tell me the story from the beginning."

Sirius and I immediatly start telling him, talking over eachother.

"I want to tell him." Sirius whines, "You'll tell it wrong."

"I'll tell it wrong?" I say, "You'll make it up as you go so it makes you look good!"

"What do you mean by that?" Sirius asks, glaring at me. "I'm awesome! And I would never lie to Moony...and I'm awesome."

"You wish you were awesome!" I scream, stomping over to him, "I'm way awesomer then you!"

"AWESOMER ISN'T EVEN A WORD!" Sirius yells, "And even if it were, I would still be MORE AWESOME THEN YOU!"

"Will you two SHUT UP!" Remus hollers, walking between us and pushing us apart. I hadn't realized we were as close as we were.

"Now, Jake, will you please tell me the story?" Remus says as Sirius and I glare at eachother.

"Yeah, okay." Jake nods, then explains the whole story, all the way up until we came into the dorm room.

"He told the story right." I say, "Way to go, Jake! And you didn't make Sirius look good, which is how it's supposed to be."

"I don't like you right now." Sirius says, turning away from me.

"I don't like you either." I say, turning to face Jake and Remus instead of him. "So, didn't we have an interesting day, Remus?"

Remus laughs, "That's one way to put it."

"You don't think people will think I'm cheating on James, will you?" I ask worridly, "Because I don't want people to think I'm a slu-" I almost said slut in front of Jake, but I quickly changed it too, "That I'm like that."

Remus looks amused, but simply says, "I hope not."

"But you are like that." Sirius whisper-sings in my ear.

"You're the one who kissed me." I remind him, turning around to face him.

"You kissed me back." He reminds me.

"I didn't want to hurt your ego." I say, "But for the record, you suck at kissing."

Okay, that was a lie. He was actually a really good kisser, but his ego was already so big; and he didn't need me to tell him. I bet he already knew he was an amazing kisser. I've heard people say he's a player.

Sirius laughs, "Yeah, sure; whatever you say."

"Yes, whatever I say." I agree, grinning.

"I always say the wrong thing to you." Sirius notes.

"I've noticed." I say, "Anyway, can we go back to being nice to eachother? I can't hold a grudge to save me life."

Sirius laughs, "Yeah, sure." He sticks out his hand.

I grin, shaking it.
