"James!" Sirius yelled, running after him. Iris went towards Lily and Remus while Alison ran back into Hogwarts. Sirius put his hand on James' shoulder and spun him around so that he could see his face.

"What, Padfoot?" James asked in a tone that he had never used.

"You saw Lily! Maybe Remus was...I don't know...performing CPR?" Sirius said lamely, not knowing how right he was.

"Right," James said sarcastically, "that must be why Lily was responding? Why he had his tongue down her throat?"

"Erm...maybe he was-"

"I don't have time for this Padfoot," James cut him off, "Lily never liked me and I fell in love with her like a fool."

"Oh no, no, no," Sirius said, "You're making the same mistake I made. Don't do that James!"

"Yeah, well. Iris never made out with your best friend, did she?" James hissed.

"James! Okay, come on! You can't believe that Remus-"

"He was the only one she liked, remember?" James said and he turned away again.

"James!" Sirius yelled, "you're making a huge mistake, James! LISTEN TO ME!"

"Look, Sirius. I just can't be around those two. Even thinking about them makes me want to choke you," James said, squeezing his eyes shut.

"Me? What have I done?" Sirius asked backing away. James even cracked a smile. Sirius would always shy away from a fight with James.

"Nothing. See? That's how mad I get," James said before going off again.

"You'll regret not listening to me!" Sirius hollered after his best friend. He shook his head when James didn't stop or turn around so that he could face the situation before him like a man. Sirius suddenly realized how annoying he must have been during the past few weeks.

Sirius turned back to the usual spot and saw only Iris and Lily. Lily was lying down on the ground, her eyes watery and Iris was next to her, stroking her hair while she listened to Lily's story.

"....Grindylows caught me around my leg and pulled me in. I fought them off and by the time I did, this other creature did a spell on me that makes it's prey drowsy. So I dozed off in the water and drowned. Then Remus came and pulled me out and he performed CPR and-"

"Lily...as much as I hate to say this...it looked like you both were french kissing," Iris mumbled.

"Oh God...James...Alison....James," Lily moaned, getting up. She stumbled and fell but Sirius caught her before she could.

"Lily, it's best if you give him some space right now. James needs to sort some things out," Sirius said.

"What did he say?" Iris asked.

"He...he's really mad," Sirius gulped, "where's Remus?"

"He went after Alison," Iris answered. Sirius and her shared a look and at that moment, they realized that things were going to be very messed up for a few weeks.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Alison, just listen to me!" Remus begged, grabbing hold of her wrists and forcing her to look at him.

"I don't want to hear anything, Remus!" Alison screeched, shoving him away. She didn't want him to see her cry.

"Ali-"

"Don't call me that!" Alison snapped, trying to act like a rock.

"But, Ali-"

"I SAID don't call me THAT!" Alison yelled in his face.

"Look, Alison, I-"

"No, YOU look, Remus! I thought you liked me and all this time, you were using me to make LILY, my best friend, LILY jealous?!"

"NO! No, Ali-"

"Stop calling me that! I hate the name! I always hated it! I only let you call me that because you wanted to. But that wont be necesary any more because I want you out of my life," Alison hissed venemously before breaking free from a horiffied Remus and running up to her dorm.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

James went up to his dorm and kicked everything in his way. Why did it all have to go wrong in the end? Lily and him were having such a good time and it really did seem like she liked him now.

And then James began to put the little pieces together. He had noticed that these days, Lily would try to say something and then she would stop. Was what she was trying to say that she wanted to not be with him?

He slammed the door open and flung himself on the bed. Why did she have to do this to him?

And Remus....James thought he was his best friend. Wasn't it Remus who James used to moan to about Lily? Why hadn't Remus told him that he liked her too?

James punched the pillow into a more comfortable position and was horrified when he found himself crying silently.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Iris walked to the classroom where she would be having her next therapy session. To say that she didn't like Adam Hendrix would be an understatement. He only creeped her out, especially when he asked annoying and nosy questions about her and Sirius.

"Hello, Iris," Adam smiled when she entered the room.

"Hello," Iris mumbled, sitting on the seat next to him.

"How are you today?" he asked, offering Iris some butter beer.

"Um, fine," Iris took a sip.

"Today, we will be discussing the most important thing in your life," Adam said, sitting down.

"You mean Sirius?" Iris asked and she saw Adam's jaw clench. She wondered why..

"Is HE the most important thing in your life?" Adam asked, raising his eye brow.

"Of course," Iris rolled her eyes.

"Well, then...tell me about Sirius Black."

Iris watched that as she talked, how every single bit of cheerfulness vanished from his face. Every time she would smile while remembering something Sirius said, Adam's jaw would clench.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sirius sat with James, still trying to convince him that what he was doing was wrong. Sirius had tried looking for Iris after her therapy session but she was no where to be seen. So Sirius had gone to James.

"Remus would never betray you like that, James!" Sirius hissed.

"Really? Is that why he was making out with my girlfriend?" James asked sarcastically.

"James, he-was-performing-CPR!" Sirius yelled.

"Then why were her eyes open?" James questioned.

"Because...she must have...I don't know! But Lily didn't cheat on you, okay? And Remus didn't do anything to hurt you! If it wasn't for him, Lily would probably be dead!"

"Where is Remus any way?" James asked through clenced teeth, "I wanna beat the crap out of him."

"Erm...he's probably with Alison but listen to me James. This is Remus, we're talking about! He's our best friend-"

"Padfoot, I need to be alone," James buried his face in his pillow.

Sirius sighed and obeyed. He got up and went down to the common room where he saw Alison, curled up in a ball on a chair, her eyes red even though she wasn't crying.

"Oh my god, please tell me you listened to Remus!" Sirius moaned, sitting on the table infront of Alison.

"No, and I don't want to," Alison said, staring at the crackling fire.

"Ali, listen to Remus. He was performing-"

"CPR? Please, Sirius. That is the lamest excuse ever," Alison said.

"Sirius Black?"

Sirius turned around and saw a fourth year girl, blushing scarlet as he looked at her.

"I was asked to give this to you," she said and she handed him a small envelope. 'Sirius' was written on the front in Iris' elegant script. Sirius ripped it open and read:

Sirius,

Don't freak out. I havn't run away or anything or gone to a drug party (I'm KIDDING! =P)

St. Mungo's contacted me. Apparently, my father woke up today and he began asking for me. They say he's getting bits and bits of his memory back. So they asked me to come down because he's been throwing a fit about wanting to see me.

I'll be back by tomorrow morning. Until then you try to clean up this mess-Please?

I love you. =)

Iris.

Sirius groaned as he finished the letter. Just when he thought the day couldn't get any worse, it just did. Now that Iris was gone, he had only four depressed people for company. And that was something he wasn't looking forward to. And every one knew that Sirius hated to be away from Iris.

Sirius got up and went to the Owelry so that he could send her a letter at St. Mungos. He reached the room with the screeching owls and took out a sheet of paper, scribbling:

Iris,

*gasp* A DRUG party? Why didn't you take me with you?! ;)

Wow, your Dad remembers you? That's great, isn't it?

Believe me, I have tried my best. All of them keep on telling us we have ego issues, they should take a good look at themselves. I tried my best to convince James but he wasn't listening to me. I tried with Alison, she didn't either.

=(

You're leaving me alone with them? Noooooo!

Any way, I love you too and I hope you're safe and bla bla bla all that crap. =)

Sirius.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lily was standing outside James' dorm, taking deep breaths. She was about to go in and face his anger and sadness. Lily raised her fist to knock on the door when it suddenly opened and she saw James standing there with slightly red eyes.

"What do you want, Evans?"

"James-"

"I don't wanna hear any apologies. They'll just make me mad," James pinched the bridge between his eyes.

"But, James-"

"What was it, Lily? Was this some cruel trick you played on me with Snape?" James asked.

"No! Of course not-"

"Are you trying to get back at me?"

"James, listen-"

"Did you do all of this to hurt me? Make me think that there might be hope for you and me and then cheat on me with my best friend?"

"James-"

"It would have been more humane for you to just keep on being a bitch to me rather than make me think you actually liked me back," James said and Lily saw his eyes water as he slammed the door in her face.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hey! Okay, I know there must be A LOT of mistakes in this chapter but that's not my fault. The stupid fanfiction thing wasn't allowing me to edit the damn chapter!

And here are the results for the Sirius thing:

Bono- 14 out of 25 votes.

Jim Sturgess- 9 out of 25 votes.

Orlando Bloom-0 out of 25 votes (THANK GOD!)

Well, I thought you all didn't like Bono but the majority chose him. YAY! I love Bono as Sirius.

To all those who wanted Jim Sturgess: Please don't kill me. If you want I could make a double page for Sirius so that Jim Sturgess AND Bono are him. =P

Seriously, if you want me to, I will.

Sherry.
