"God that Sirius Black is gorgeous," Courtney sighed happily when the three
girls walked into their dorm that night.
Lily rolled her eyes as she tossed her bag onto her bed, and then picked up a brush.
"Courtney," she said slowly, brushing her long hair away from her face. "I can't believe you! You know better than to get involved with the Marauders."
"Lil, quit talking about them as if they've just been released from Azakaban," Courtney replied, perching on a stool in front of the dressing table.
"Yeah," Kim agreed. "Besides. . ." a smirk played on her lips. "I couldn't help but over hear you and James."
"What about me and James?" Lily demanded, frowning slightly. "What did you hear? Him trying to lure me into bed?"
Kim chose to ignore that and carried on. "So when did you meet his brother, eh? I don't remember you going to the Ministry."
Lily hesitated, pausing with the hairbrush. She'd been sworn to secrecy about why she had gone by Dumbledore, who insisted that only her and James should know for the time being. James had to visit the Ministry as well, but on a different date for some reason.
"Oh, uh, that," Lily shrugged, trying to make it sound unimportant. "It was just a meeting for the Head Boy and Girl."
"At the Ministry?" Courtney raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah. Nothing big." Lily jumped up from her bed. "I'm gonna go have a shower."

The next day, Lily had to walk to Transfiguration alone. Peeves the poltergeist had decided to upset a bunch of 1st years and made a right mess, so Lily had offered to help clear up and told her friends to carry on walking to their class.
Still, alone or not, the few people in the corridors were either looking at her in awe or with envy. With her head held high and her copper curls bouncing, walking gracefully and with an air of happiness about her, it was hard not to notice her.
But everyone noticed Lily Evans.
Which is maybe why she felt an arm around her shoulder a second later, as someone fell into step with her.
"So Lily," Sirius said. "What are we doing so late for Transfiguration?"
"I could ask you the same thing." "I'm always late. Not that I care much. But you! YOU, Little-Miss-Perfect, are never late."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Shut up Black."
"Ooh, and so it turns to the green eyed monster," Sirius teased.
"And what would I have to be jealous of you Bl . . . oh, I see what you did. Monster, green eyes. Yeah, clever."
Sirius grinned. "Can be a little slow, can't you? But! Not a total airhead."
Lily raised her eyebrows. "Like you really care about how smart your girls are. Now, is there any point to this conversation?"
"Just hoping you'd do me the honour of walking with me to Transfiguration," Sirius replied cheerfully, as they reached the classroom.
"Which I did," Lily said, putting a hand on the door handle. She slung his arm off her shoulders. "So excuse while I go talk to my boyfriend," she added pointedly.
She then opened the door and apologised to McGonagall, before taking a seat in between Danny and Courtney.
Sirius walked in after her and took a seat between James and Remus.
"You and Lily huh?" Remus grinned the minute he sat down. "No wonder you were late."
"You kidding me?" Sirius replied. "She practically hates us."
"Nah. She'll just be playing hard to get," James said, looking towards the table where a red head was sat laughing at something Danny Noonan was saying.
*** Thanks again for the reviews! I'll get to that about why she met his brother . . .
