RemusSiriusJames: I would have updated a little quicker, but i went home for the weekend so this is the first chance i've had to update. Glad you enjoyed it, i was a little worried about that chapter!

Walking into school, Sirius couldn't help but grin as he searched the crowds for James, not entirely surprised when he couldn't see the other boy, James had a knack of being able to disappear in a blink of an eye, maybe he was apperating….Sirius began to ponder before shaking off the thought. Not everyone was a wizard like him, no matter how much he wished he had someone else to explore the magical world with, just a few more years though he reassured himself, and besides, even if James was a wizard, he was too young to be able to apperate, not to mention to be able to use any magic, especially since no one his age had wands yet.

Oy, Sirius, over here!' A voice yelled over the din, and Sirius could barely suppress a groan. Great, Kiren, just the person he really didn't want to have to talk to just then. Forcing a fake smile onto his face, he turned to face the other boy.

Sirius had been easy to spot as soon as he had walked onto the school grounds; he seemed to be searching the crowds for someone, most likely him James realised. He had been hoping to speak with Sirius before school had started; the weekend they had spent together had been fantastic. After sleeping over on Friday night, they had then spent all of Saturday getting to know one another and part of Sunday before Sirius had to go home. A few times Sirius had mentioned something he had no idea what it was, but instead of taunting him or laughing like everyone else did, he actually explained what he was talking about, something that had only strengthened their blossoming friendship and James couldn't have been more thankful.

He had just been about to head over to Sirius, pull him over to one corner when Kiren and his goons had ambushed his friend, it was clear to everyone, but that gang of course, Sirius would rather be anywhere else, but he had been trapped. Getting closer, he could hear what they were saying.

'Where were you Friday night?' Kiren asked, his voice overly sympathetic. Oh dear, James thought, they were going to grill him about the party, he just hoped Sirius wouldn't reveal too much, getting them in trouble.

'I was at a friend's.' Sirius answered blandly. Even though he knew Sirius was about to be in trouble for where he was, James couldn't stop the unexpected leap in his heart at Sirius' phrasing, he called him his friend! His friend!

'You poor person, I suppose your mother made you go. You missed a hell of a party though; one of the best this year, there was even a bucking bull there.' Kiren poured out the commiserations, and James had to stifle a laugh at Sirius' not so subtle roll of his eyes.

'Actually, it was my idea, and I had a really good time, even without a bucking bull.' Sirius retorted before heading off in the opposite direction towards the loos while his supposed friends stared after him in shock.

Seeing the coast was clear and no one was looking for him, James slipped out of his hiding place and followed Sirius.

Splashing water on his face, Sirius wiped his face dry before leaning against the wall and gave a sigh of relief. He had yet to see James today and he didn't really want to say he had spent the weekend with the not-so-shy boy he had discovered without James saying it was alright. The door to the bathroom swung open, and to his surprise, the boy he was thinking about slipped inside, and seeing the room was empty apart from Sirius, gave a sigh of relief.

'Hey Siri,' James greeted him cheerfully causing Sirius to give a relieved smile. He had been worried James would demand he forget the entire weekend and try and sabotage their friendship again, to still be calling him Siri was a good sign.

'Good to see you too Jimmy.' Sirius grinned.

'I heard you and Kiren.' James' face was unreadable when he said this, worrying Sirius that he had done the wrong thing and he should have revealed who he been with instead of being at the party.

'I didn't see you.' Sirius spoke instead of what he really wanted to say, he didn't want this friendship to be over so soon.

'I was around,' James shrugged. 'Thank you for not telling them who you were with, I'm not ashamed or anything, and I definitely don't want this friendship to end, but I also don't want you to be in trouble.'

'I'll be fine, I can handle myself.' Sirius interrupted.

'I know, but they can, and will, make both our lives hell for it, so for now, could we just not act like we're friends. In school act like we always do but outside, well…err...' James trailed off, not too sure what he was asking.

'For now, if it's what you want, but eventually we will have to tell everyone. But this is on two conditions.' Sirius held up a finger, startling James, who looked worried at what the conditions were. 'At lunch, we'll eat together, you're hidden enough that no one will ever know, not to mention I don't think Kiren really likes me too much at the moment for the whole party thing, and two, you come over to my house tonight.' James grinned, relief evident on his face.

'I do believe I accept your terms.' James agreed, not even trying to argue the lunch point of view. Sirius' observation about Kiren was likely to be accurate, but that didn't mean others wouldn't try and be friends with Sirius, he was friendly enough with others, and besides, he did have to agree that his hiding spots were the best. If no one thought they would be together when they disappeared, no one would ever figure out they were friends.

The bell rang, startling both of them. With one last smile, Sirius walked out of the bathroom first, heading towards their classroom before James slipped out slightly after, heading in the same direction aiming as usual to be the last in the classroom.

'So, what do you keep in your little grey notebook?' Sirius asked as the two of them sat eating that lunch, nodding towards the book in James lap.

With a grin, James opened it up, showing everything, including the pranks, a love both of them shared. Spotting one prank, Sirius suggested a slight variation, improving it vastly much to James' pleasure; he was definitely enjoying this condition James decided. He couldn't remember the last lunch he hadn't eaten on his own, and he certainly couldn't remember enjoying lunch before Sirius came along he realised before going suggesting how, on whom and when they could pull this prank, his and Sirius' more mischievous sides coming out to play.
