Previously-
on valentines day Lily got a date with Jason but James and Sarah broke up. James and Lily had an argument but they made up. Sirius as told Marlene he is giving up on her but now regrets it as he is jealous of Marlene and betram but now they have also broken up. Sirius has changed his name to Sirius Potter
The weather grew warmer, the war became closer and the 6th years weren't sure what was going on aside from the overflowing obituaries in the back of the daily profit and whispers of you know who's power. Of course they were only whispers as each person was to afraid that if they were too loud all that was left of them and their family was a name in the back of the daily profit. Lily and Jason were still going out but Lily kept feeling this little nagging sensation in the back of her mind, she felt happy but not ecstatic each time she saw him, there was no heat. James was going from fling to fling in hope that the red head would leave his mind. Lily and James had barely spoken from their argument previously and James had the dreading sensation that each say that passed was a step further away from her. That was when James Potter finally struck up the courage that placed him in Gryffindor, and walked over to Lily who was in mid conversation with Mary. "Lily can I talk to you please?" Lily nodded graciously but her tone was icy as she said "What Potter?" James took a deep breath "I am sorry Lily, Sorry for asking you out many, many times and the trouble from that, I am sorry for hexing Sniv-Snape I am sorry for being arrogant. I am sorry most of all that I upset you, I lied you are one of the kindest people I have ever met you have great character judge, you were right from your point of view I am not a nice guy." Mary looked at him flabbergasted but not as much as Lily whose jaw was nearly on the floor. She felt her heart melting and felt a volcano sensation in her stomach. She replied every ounce of her concentration going into making her voice seem breezy "Thanks Potter, you are not the worst person who has ever past the school." James looked at her hopefully. At least that's what Lily thought as her stomach swooped. To plummet back down when she remembered she had a boyfriend. "Potter before I forgive you, what you did to me was no better than what Snape did. Why should I forgive you?" James pondered on this for a second stopping himself from saying "I love you." He settled on "Because I care about you Lily and I am truly sorry not because I wish I hadn't said it but because it hurt you" Lily felt a lump in her throat "Ok Potter." Was all she could manage without the risk of sounding croaky. Pleased with this reaction James walked off with a cocky smirk on his face which Lily had a secret love-hate relationship for.
Marlene had broken up with her current boyfriend due to the fact he was to clingy. An hour later she was kissing (shit what was his name?) by the portrait hole, a few first years made vomiting noses but aside from that no one bothered them. Until Sirius walked out the portrait hole, it took him less than a second to recognise Marlene's hair as he shouted with all the might his lungs could provide him with "OI! STOP!" Startled the pair broke apart. Marlene shouted "What right do you have to tell me what I can and cannot do?" Sirius ignored this; turned to the boy and said "Go she has issues." The boy scampered off. "He was my date!" Shrieked Marlene with indignation whipping out her wand. "HE WAS A LOSER." Marlene screamed with frustration "You have no idea who the hell he was!" Sirius returned her frustration "I could tell." Marlene screamed again "No you couldn't I am not an item Sirius that you can throw away but not let other people use!" Sirius said in a calmer tone "He was a player." Marlene started to shake with anger "Player? No Sirius that's you!" Sirius said in a pleading tone "Marley I will change." Marlene's heart remained icy "DON'T CALL ME MARLEY!" Sirius sighed but did not admit defeat "Marlene I want you back." Marlene said quietly but her voice still lined with venom "You shouldn't off let me go then." Sirius was on his knees, begging "Marlene it was a mistake." Marlene fought back the urge to forgive him "Then you would have run after me, tried to get me back before now." Sirius grabbed hold of her leg to stop her walking away "It was a mistake. Please give me one more chance." Marlene looked at him in disgust "Why should I?" Sirius voice wobbled "I love you Marlene McKinnon." Marlene blinked back tears; he had told her he loved her. "Marley please I know you love me to." He pressed on trying to get some sort of expression out of her blank face. Marlene was trying to work out what she felt. "If you had loved me you wouldn't have let me go." She attempted to free her leg from Sirius tight grasp. "Sirius let me go." Sirius shook his head blinking tears clouding his vision "I am not going to let you go this time." Marlene sunk to her knees. Their lips crashed together but Marlene pushed away "You can't just kiss me and think it will all go away." She said in a shaky voice. She stood up a mascara lined salty droplets of water poured down from her sad blue eyes that were no longer sparkling. Sirius looked at her as she turned to walk away he exclaimed "I won't give up on you Marlene." Marlene stood still but didn't face him as tears dropped to her toes all she said was "You will, you will move on to the next girl you always will." Sirius let a single tear drop from his face "I love you, I have never loved any other girl. It is you Marlene. Marlene didn't see Sirius tears as she walked away, like he hadn't seen hers the last time.
When Sirius finally got up he headed to hogsmesmead not bothering to grab the map or cloak. He walked to the hogs head and ordered fire whisky. Everyone else, not that there were many people, had their face covered but ignored the boy drinking away his sorrows. The bar man looked at the boy uneasily after he had gulped down the first glass and demanded another. "Aye kid this stuff isn't good for ya." The bar tender said. Sirius glared at him "I don't want your pity." The bar tender gave a dry chuckle "Don't expect you do kid I didn't either." Sirius raised his eyebrows inquisitively, the bar tender took a swig of drink as he said "My sister she died and it broke me the rest of my family aside from her and my brother were already gone I wasn't that close to my brother but I loved my sister." He sighed then took another swig of drink. Sirius gave his story "Abusive pure blood family, I ran away and got disowned. But the main reason is this girl I love her but I let her go and she won't take me back." The bar tender gave a little tut "Drinking doesn't make the problem go away kid." Sirius sighed "I know but what can I do?" The bar tender's eyes crinkled "What you need to do is…"
Marlene woke up in a bad temper she had finally told her best friends everything and felt much better for it. They had gotten lots of ice cream and shared their love life. Mary finally told them about the Hufflepuff she was seeing how she thought he was great but she couldn't imagine a future with him, Alice told them about frank an expression of bliss flittered across her face as she revealed that they had spoken about the future. Lily told them about how sweet Jason was but how there was no passion, however she didn't mention her feelings for James but they followed her into her dreams that night. Lily and Jason were about to kiss when a messy haired boy on a horse galloped past swooped her on, The horse turned into a broom and the boy and Lily were flying they saw rainbows Lily leaned in to kiss him, but she was pulled away from Jason who told her she was a terrible person, the broomstick boy had another girl to kiss and then Jason called her "Mudblood!" And the whole stadium laughed including her friends they stared to curse her. The scene changed she was at the lake Severus as on the ground but instead of saying mudblood he said "cruio…." Lily woke up crying, her head was swimming. She finally drifted of early hours of the morning she dreamed of dark chambers, messy haired boys but as always she woke up to the cruciatous curse.
The marauders woke up early on Sirius request and ran straight down to the almost deserted great hall where they stared to get ready. "Are you sure about this Sirius?" Sirius nodded. The boys set up, Remus humming the whole time.
Marlene groggily walked in the hall along with Lily, compared to Lily Marlene looked positively beaming. Lily face was pale and she had deep purple bags under her eyes, her hair was limp and scraped into a carless pony tail at the slightest rustle in the corridor made her jump with wand out. Marlene walked in and gasped with delight and exasperation the Gryffindor table was lined with all her favourite foods; Chocolate fondue with strawberries, buttery scrambled eggs on toast, pear with white chocolate and lots more but her eye was caught by something else. She saw Sirius smiling at her as he held out s custard tart. He mouthed "I won't give you up." Marlene's legs moved before her brain did; she sprinted up to Sirius flung her legs round him and they started kissing with such passion and longing that the room could be on fire and they wouldn't have noticed. Every eye in the hall was on them but neither of the pair noticed for they were too focused on the other.
Lily watched slightly amused as James looked at the pair horrified; Sirius and Marlene! It didn't seem to fit in his mind, to him Sirius was his brother and Marlene was like a sister, it was weird. Remus rolled his eyes but had seen it coming he chewed his bacon with a smirk as Mary grudgingly handed over 5 gallons under the table. Frank did the same to Alice who smiled into her cereal. In fact it seemed the relationship of arguably the two most physically attractive people getting together had caused lots of bets, about ¼ of the hall looked considerably happier as the new coins jingled in their pockets. There friends were not so pleased. Finally Professor McGonagall ordered them to separate but she had a tiny smile tugging on her lips.
When the two broke apart they were both smirking, and if Lily hadn't known better she could of sworn Sirius and Marlene had blushed.
Marlene and Sirius didn't stop smiling the whole day; not even when they were set a huge essay in DADA or when a couple of Slytherins called out insulting things. They didn't care nor did they let go of the others hand. It was cute but Lily felt a tiny pang of jealousy, Jason never told her she was beautiful, or fed her and he certainly didn't kiss her with such passion and urgency as though it was their last kiss every time he saw her.
When her and Jason were in the library that night she had kissed him with as much passion as she could muster but there still was no heat. Lily sighed in defeat- was this how it was meant to be? Then a horrible thought crossed her mind. Was it her? Was it her that was boring and unable to get boys to get passionate. Lily tried to push the thought out of her head. However the more she tried not to think about it the more she did.
