At dinner, with Remus not being present and just wanting some girl talk, Sophia sat with Lily. Something appeared to be bothering the red head as she stabbed her roast beef, eventually she sighed, resting her utensils, and looked at the Slytherin table.

"Do you regret it?" When Sophia spoke all eyes were on her.

"I don't know." It was a reply often heard as an excuse, but with Lily it was honest.

"What he did Lily, wasn't right. You're better than him, you know that," Bethan smiled and wrapped an arm around her.

Lily looked at her friends, then cast a glance over at the Marauders, and Remus was now approaching, sitting with his friends. Sophia didn't mind that they didn't sit together as most girls would, but she could tell that it wasn't Remus' entrance that had drawn her eyes over to the boys.

Sophia beamed, actually, that word is an understatement, but smiled more that she ever had in her life. It was obvious Lily was thinking about James, and the other girls soon caught on.

"Just ask him, Lils," Sophia leaned over the table. "Ask him to go to Hogsmeade with you this weekend."

It was almost fifteen minutes before Lily moved. There were only two others between the girls and the Marauders and Lily called over.

"James?"

James, you could tell, was groaning inwardly, thinking he had done something to get himself in trouble. He looked over though, charismatically.

"Yes, Lily?" After being Heads of Gryffindor they were now on a first name basis, though in the future. after they were married they still found pleasure in calling each other 'Potter' and 'Evans'.

Sophia sent a sly glance Remus' way, a look he would get to know far to well.

"I was wondering, James, if you would go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" It was like a dam breaking, her words flooding out of her more.

Almost the entire Great Hall fell silent. The inevitable had just happened, Lily Evans was asking out the infamous James Potter.

"Come again? Did the world just turn topsy?" Sirius howled.

Sophia winked at Remus, he winked back.

"I think you've made him speechless, Lils," Remus chuckled under his breath.

"I don't think he knows what to say," Peter commented.

"Say yes, you dolt. This may be a one in a life time chance, Potter," Lily growled. Even in love, she never changed.

"Y-Yes. Padfoot, am I dreaming?"

"No, your awake, but I'll pinch you anyway!" Sirius pinched him and in all the laughter and applause, Remus and Sophia snuck away.

"That went well," Remus took her hand as they started up to the Common Room.

"Exceedingly so, brilliant aren't I?"

Remus looked upon her with admiration, and from then on, through all the fights and tears, he always would. "Enjoy playing matchmaker much?"

"Now all we need is to get Bethan and Sirius together," she put on her quizzical face and started to think.

"What about someone for Alice?" Remus asked.

"Oh, I think Frank Longbottom's after her, she'll say yes of course. They'd make a cute couple, don't you think?"

Remus looked around them and pulled her off to a side corridor and kissed her. She smiled into the kiss, loving the randomness of it all.

"What was that for?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he tighten his grip on her waist.

"You know who I think makes a cute couple?" he nuzzled the crook of her neck, a foreign feeling to Sophia, and she giggled quietly.

"Who?" Of course, she already knew who, but she enjoyed playing his silly little game.

"Us."

She rolled her eyes and pulled him along the corridor. Remus did wrap an arm around her, feeling confident and better in her presence. Sophia continued musing over ways to get Sirius and Bethan to fall in love. Though she would never admit it, Sophia was a hopeless romantic, and wanted everyone to be able to experience the feeling of love, though she'd never experienced it herself.

Well, until she met Remus John Lupin.
