A/N: Soooooooooooooooooooo SORRY for taking soooooooooooooooo long to update, first I had to make changes after reading book 5…then my computer got screwed up…aaaah, life is just great!

Remus walked back to the Gryffindor room, with a bit of a grin on his face. Helena was a babe, that was for sure, and what else was that he was, as it seemed the next guy on her list. It wasn't that Remus had a crush on her or anything, but he could really dig her. However all the happy feeling was sucked right out of him the second he got in his dormitory.

Ever since about a week ago James had started acting really odd and out of it…and he wouldn't even tell them what was going on. Sirius had kept trying to bring it up lightly with a joke ("trouble in bed?"), but James kept pushing them both away.

Now Remus walked in to find his best friend crying, something he hadn't seen in a while since the death of Mr. Potter. Yet there was James staring into space with tears running down his face, he never actual sobbed or anything, but the tears just came, and he wouldn't talk to anyone for hours and just still…not watching but just staring into darkness…

Quietly Remus made his way towards James and sat on his bed, without a word he just sat there…when James was ready he'd talk, pain was one of the things that you learned how to deal with when you grew up like brothers.

Sirius came to a halt, and there in front of him stood the very person he had wanted to beat the hell out of, standing right in front of him. Rudolphus Lestranges had his muscles flexed and ready for a fight, and Sirius was more than pleased to give it to him. Though most wizards preferred using their wands in a fight…Sirius felt it more satisfying to have skin to skin contact, and he was pretty sure Rudolphus did too after all the time the boy had spend making his buddy so buff.



"Why don't you get the fuck out of my way, there is a pretty lady here, don't want your nasty face displeasing her, now do we?" Sirius said smiling down at Ivy, and pushing his way past Rudolphus.

"Watch it Black," Rudolphus grabbed Sirius' collar, and sending anger flash through Sirius' eyes.

"Nice grip," Sirius said, but then twisted his arms sending him in a howl of pain, "but mine's better."

"If it's a fight you want Black, you got it!" Rudolphus said straightening, but Sirius had just noticed something

"You know, I might have considered that if you weren't such a sissy," then suddenly Sirius put his hand in Rudolphus' pocket and took out a lacy pink thong, "you got a nice little collection, real nice Lestranges!"

Laughter ringed across the Great Hall as Sirius pulled the thong over Rudolph's' head, and walked away with Ivy back to the door of the Great Hall.

"Why are we going back?" Ivy asked a perfectly tweezed eyebrow raised.

"It's WAY too crowded there, how bout we go somewhere a bit more…private?"

"Well you're dormroom is probably empty…"

"Well then, lets get going!" Sirius smirked.
