A/N: Here I go again, and this chapter will hold a little more James/Lily action for those that simply crave it.

Disclaimer: I own Sophia. Everyone else is not mine nor will they ever be.

Drama.

Sirius, James, Peter, and Lily all left the Great Hall and headed towards the Gryffindor common room. They all knew Sophia needed her space, but they wanted to let her know that they were there for her when she needed them. Lily thought Remus's reaction to Sophia leaving breakfast was odd, but when they entered the common room she almost fainted because there, on the couch, sat Remus with Sophia's head in his lap. He was reading a book in one hand and absentmindedly stroking Sophia's hair with the other. Sirius, James, and Lily all stood by the door in silently watching the picture that was unfolding before them. Sophia stirred after a moment and Remus stopped his soothing caresses. She smiled up at him and asked what he was reading.

"A story about a Prince that has a deadly secret that could ruin him if any one found out." He answered.

"Oh." She said looking down at the floor for a moment. "Will you read to me?" She asked softly. Remus smiled.

"Yes."

"Thanks."

Remus cleared his throat and began:

"Prince Davion had always dreamed of a normal life yet things constantly got in the way leading him as far away from normalcy as a man could get. For one thing, he was a prince. His duties, devotion, and love, belonged solely to his people and the city. He was watched wherever he went, but some guard or another, and he was constantly reminded to mind his actions and language. He was highly intelligent, and rightly so, he spoke English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Latin fluently making his trips to other countries quite simple. He belonged to the public and a personal life was simply a dream.
The second thing that stopped him from being a normal man was his beast form. Once a month he would change into something that he knew would cause chaos in the city if he ever left. He knew his kingdom's people were simple-minded, so if they came upon anything they had yet to understand there one idea would be to kill it and plant its head on the local Tavern wall. This was another reason as to why Davion had no friends. His own father feared him. He did not know why he changed, his mother had told him a rabid dog had bitten him when he was a child, but he felt more beast-like than the domesticated dogs that scoured the streets of the poorer side of the cities. He wished more than anything that he could have one person to trust, one person to lean on, and to find one person that would love him unconditionally. Little did he know that the fates had planned something for him, little did he know that he was destined for the young princess by the name of Emma."

 Sophia interrupted him, "So he was a werewolf?" Remus nodded. "How sad. I mean it isn't like it's his fault that he changes into a beast once a month. I know what he feels like though."

"What do you mean."

"To want someone to love unconditionally." She said looking up into his eyes. Remus gulped and looked away, this was getting too close to home, too close to his own deepest secrets.

"Want me to continue?"

"Please."

"Okay." Remus began again:

"One day, Davion was walking along the rivers bed when he heard a young woman singing. The voice was entrancing and he followed the sound until he saw a young woman bathing in the waters. He blushed immediately and turned quickly. It turned out to be the wrong move because he slipped on the slick mud and landed face first in the water. The woman before him was immediately startled and grabbed a slip to place over herself.

'Who's there?' She called out urgently.

'I am so sorry. I was just walking and I heard you singing and I, oh this is rather embarrassing.'

The girl giggled. 'It's quite alright. My family and I have been on a long journey and we decided to take a break. I needed to bathe so I found the river, I did not expect you, but I am pleased to meet you.' She said honestly.

Davion found some courage and asked for her name.

'Emma. Princess of Haidler, and you are?'

'Prince Davion. Welcome to my kingdom.' She walked over to him and shook his hand. When he did not let go she looked up and was memorized by his blue eyes. She blushed and turned her head but not before he leaned in and kissed her. She was surprised by his forwardness, but grateful that he did so. She returned the kiss and it soon turned from a chaste embrace of lips, to a passionate hunger. When the two broke apart..." Remus continued the story till he turned to the last page and read the last line... "And they lived happily ever after, despite his moonlit beast-like form." Sophia sighed.

"That was a wonderful story. But I didn't take you for the type."

"The type for what?" He asked curiously.

"The type for romance."

He laughed, "I am a hopeless romantic, just ask Sirius or James."

"He's right and it does get sickening sometimes." Sirius stated. Sophia lifted her head from Remus's lap so fast that she hit his chin.

"Shit. Remus are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Bloody hell Sirius, don't sneak up on folks."

"Sorry mate, couldn't resist." Sirius said grinning.

"How long have you been there?" Sophia asked, not amused by his intrusion.

"For quite some time love. When did you and Remus become so buddy- buddy?"

"After we made passionate love last night. Right Remus?"

"Right. It was wonderful."

"Knock it off, you're a virgin Remus."

Sophia turned to him, "Is that so?"

"Yeah." He replied.

"Remarkable."

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing."

"Liar."

"You bet."

Sirius rolled his eyes at James and Lily as this continued. The three laughed slightly before Lily looked down at her watch and gasped. "Class starts in fifteen minutes and I need to go get my books from the Head Quarters. See you guys in Defense Against the Dark Arts." She said before dashing off to her room. James rolled his eyes and stood talking to Sirius for a moment more before Sirius stated the obvious.

"Mate, you don't have your books either and we start class in ten minutes, you might want to go get them." James nodded and ran up to the Head Quarters. He ran to his side and opened the door to his room. He ran out and while leaving the room collided straight with Lily.

He knelt down and helped separate their things. "Sorry Evans, I wasn't watching where I was going."

"Obviously." She said, rolling her eyes.

"You alright?" He asked.

"I'm fine." She answered coolly.

"Alright." He said, his voice losing all emotion. They both stood up at the same time and were a little too close for either one's comfort. Lily looked up at James for a moment and was about to open her mouth to speak when James leaned down and kissed her gently. Lily was surprised was eventually responded, still holding her books, the embrace was quite awkward. James pulled back and looked at her before grinning, "Not bad, Evans, not bad."

Her mood quickly changed to anger. "I wouldn't get used to the feeling." She said before rushing out. James slapped his forehead and picked up his bag while leaving the portrait. 'Drama' he thought. Meanwhile, Lily was running down the hall furious at herself for being angry. James had left her feeling used and at the moment she hated herself for letting him do that to her. She walked down to the Defense room and noticed Sirius, Remus, and Sophia standing together. Sophia noticed Lily's flushed cheeks and raised her eyebrow at her. Lily however, sent her a menacing glare that quickly shut Sophia up before she even bothered to ask. 'Drama' Sophia thought to herself before rolling her eyes and walking into the classroom with Lily. Remus and Sirius turned to James who, in turn, just shrugged.

During the period, Remus kept looking up at Sophia who stared straight ahead and occasionally scribbled down what seemed like notes. He returned his attention back to his notes when a note landed on top of his parchment, deterring his attention. He smiled at Sophia's handwriting and opened the letter. It said:

'Hey Sparky,

As much as I love the attention you're giving me at the moment, pay attention to the teacher, because I know James and Sirius aren't and I am NOT lending them my notes again.'

 He smiled and wrote back a reply.

'Hey Sophie,

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am paying attention, and I'll have you know my notes are very detailed.'

 He charmed the note back to Sophia who took it gracefully and opened it. He saw her grimace and he smiled at the realization that it was because he said "Sophie" she sighed and quickly wrote another reply.

'You know exactly what I was talking about Mr. Lupin, don't demean my intelligence by lying.'

She sent the note back. He read it and quickly replied.

'Of course not. Sorry, but you're simply too beautiful, I can't keep my eyes off of you.'

 He sent the letter back and when she read it and leaned back in her chair for a moment. She tapped her quill against her chin before replying.

'Trying to get back in my good presence? Because it's working even though that is quite possibly the cheesiest line I have ever heard.'

She sent the letter back and grinned.

'It may be cheesy, but it's true. Meet my tonight by the lake after dinner?'

She read it and responded.

'Okay, may I ask why?'

'Nope.'

'You're infuriating.'

'I try. Just meet me alright.'

'Alright, I'll be there.'

After that the two "focused" on class, but Remus still found himself looking up at Sophia. James saw this and shook his head. His friend was falling in love with a girl he had loathed for the past six years. He then began to think. If Remus and Sophia could have a relationship, did that mean that he and Lily could have one too. He shook his head at the ridiculous thought but looked up at Lily. She was idly twirling a strand of hair around her finger while listening to the professor. He sighed once again and decided to write her a quick note.

'Evans,

I'm sorry about what I said earlier. Forgive me?'

He sent the note to her and she picked it up curiously. She quickly read the note and turned to look at him for a moment, almost as if she was studying his face for honesty. It seemed that she found it. She wrote a reply.

'Potter,

All is forgotten, but why must you always be so cocky?'

He read the note and shook his head as if clearing his mind. He decided to answer honestly.

'I don't always realize I'm being cocky, I guess it's just who I am.'

 He sent the note to her. She read it and he noticed her shoulders drop slightly.

'You could try being honest, I know being a "Marauder" gives you a reputation you supposedly need to live up to, but you don't have too.'

He read the letter.

'Maybe you could help me in that area?'

'Maybe.'

He was about to respond when class was dismissed. Everyone stood up and were gathering their things when James approached Lily.

"Hey Lily, would you mind walking with me to class." She smiled.

"I'd like that." The two were walking down the hall when Amy walked up.

"Hey Jamsie. How are you?" She asked in what Lily could only assume was her "seductive" tone. She rolled her eyes.

"I'll see you later James." She walked away from James.

"Jamsie!"

"Uh, hey Amy."

"Walk with me to lunch?" She asked. He looked at Lily's quickly retreating figure.

"Um, maybe later."

"Later it won't be lunch."

James patted her shoulder, "I'm glad you know the different meals." He suddenly saw Sirius walking by. "Oy! Sirius."

Sirius stopped. "Yeah?"

"Hold up."

"Okay."

"I need to talk to Sirius. See you later." He said walking by her.

She turned and watched him leave with Sirius. After a moment of pouting she turned and saw Remus walking with Sophia. "Remus! Walk with me to lunch."

He turned to Sophia who was looking at him incredulously. "I'm busy."

She huffed, "Whatever." And walked away.

"Watch it Remus, I think you've angered the princess."

He looked at her stomping away. "I honestly don't care."

She laughed, "Alright, well come on." The two walked down the hall towards the common room to drop of their things. He smiled down at her.

"Lead on, milady." Sophia blushed. "Did you just blush."

"Nope."

"I think you did."

"I think you're on something."

"Nope, you blushed."

"Leave me be." She said sternly ,when he looked at her though, he saw that she was smiling.

"No, I don't think I will."

While the two were walking to the common room, Parker walked by and nodded his greetings while smiling at Sophia. It was then that she remembered her agreement to go out on a date with Parker. She groaned, 'Shit.'

A/N: Long and boring. Someone send me ideas!
