Disclaimer: I own nothing from JK Rowling's genius mind. But a couple are my own characters.


Summary: What happens when Sirius, Remus, and Peter decide to get Lily and James together? Pure havoc, of course. Rated for language and slight profanity, courtesy of Remus's sister and the Marauders. Changed… I'm making this also Ginny/Harry later.

Recap: Lily gets furious at James and he is dumbstruck. Remus and Sirius run into Artemis and then they go to the library to plan how to get James and Lily together.

Note: I have decided to get rid of Artemis, for now. I'll use the less-than-perfect Aurora Boreal (another OC) for my story.

Chapter Two: Amber

*All of the Lupins who have ever come through Hogwarts have had amber eyes… Odd…* mused Professor Dumbledore, looking through his older books. Tsuki Lupin had signed the yearbook with her golden pen, as she had signed everyone's.

He chuckled out loud as he wondered what sort of mischief the middle triplet and his Marauder friends were cooking up.

***

"My sister is gone. Dumbledore and McGonagall had her sent to an Institute to regain what little of her childhood she remembers and clings to," Remus stated simply. "That means we'll have to cross her out of our plans."

"Godammit! That means we have to ask that stuck-up slut, Aurora, for help!" Sirius pounded the table with his fists.

"Well for one thing, she would be more likely to help us than my sister was," the ever-studious Lupin pointed out.

"That's besides the point!"

"So? If we don't ask Aurora for help, we can't get this done."

"Then let's not!"

"…" Remus didn't reply but he stood up. Across the library, a blond beauty sat at a table, thumbing through a book and occasionally glancing up at Sirius.

"Don't!" Sirius pleaded. "You'll ruin my reputation!"

"So?" The adolescence reached the table where Aurora Boreal, Hufflepuff, sat.

"Hello. Would you be Remus Lupin? I'm on rather good terms with your brother," she chatted, mock amicably. There was a rather frigid air that surrounded her.

"Yes, and you would be Aurora Boreal. I would like to ask you a favor."

"And what would that be?"

"Help me get James and Lily together."

She looked oddly at him before closing her copy of Witch Weekly. "What do I get as a reward?"

"A trip to Hogsmeade."

She looked thoughtful for a moment. "Nope."

"How about a trip to Hogsmeade with all of your friends?"

"Uh-uh…"

"Hogsmeade with Sirius?"

"…" Aurora paused. She clearly didn't see Sirius frantically waving at Remus to not say anything. "Done. It's a deal. What do I have to do?"

"I will talk James into asking you out to the Christmas Ball. I'm going to ask Lily out. Then I have to go home for the holiday to visit my mother and I'll tell Lily it just came up so I can't go with her to the ball. James will hear this and I'll get Sirius and Peter to prompt him into asking Lily. So if everything goes by plan, he will ask Lily out and you can go with whomever you want to. Okay?"

"…James asks me out and you ask Lily out. But you're going to have to leave so you'll tell Lily you can't go. Then you'll get Sirius and Peter to ask her out. Sure…"

"One more thing."

"Huh?"

"Don't tell anybody. Otherwise, the deal is off."

"Good enough for me." They got up and went their separate ways.

"You didn't…" Sirius groaned.

Remus grinned and confirmed, "I did. And don't you dare tell her that the deal is off. I know your deepest and darkest secrets, Mister Black."

"Damn you!"

The other boy just laughed aloud and left to do his homework.

A/N: How was it? I don't think it was all that great… My friend is still beta-ing my first chappies so I might have a revised version later… Please review and thank you to everyone so far who reviewed!
