Disclaimer: I'm not JKR

I'm writing this (and most) chapter ahead of time, so that's why I can't thank specific reviewers right now, but thank you to everyone who reads and reviews!!!

"I can't believe two girls have us doing this. This is bloody insane." Sirius mumbled, bent over his long roll of parchment while scribbling furiously.

"Mm...revenge is sweet though, never forget it." James muttered, not really paying attention to the boy beside him but on finishing the damn essay he had been working on for the last two hours, to ensure it would reach and surpass the girls' standards. His best mate however, wasn't nearly as motivated, but he suspected his fellow Marauder had something up his sleeve.

"Padfoot, mate, whats up your sleeve? You're not working too hard on that essay for Finnigan, eh?" (A/N: Yes! Finnigan! I've got big plans for her )

"Once I flash my dazzling smile at her, she'll melt into my arms and forget all about the stupid paper."

"And you'll frolick off into the sunset? Fat chance, mate. You've grinned like a fool at her how many times and if she melted each time we'd have quite the puddle, eh?" James replied, sniggering.

"Who's in a puddle?" A light haired skinny boy entered the room, with a book in one hand, his face buried in it, his wand firmly in the other.

"Padfoot here thinks he can get out of serving our punishment from Evans and Finnigan by smiling at her." James explained, laughing at his friend again.

"Again? Mate, when are you going to learn she's not like other girls?" Remus asked, tossing the book onto his bed and turning to face his friend. He knew Noel the best out the three, having dated her for about half a year in the 4th year. They had still remained friends, and Sirius had been taking advantage of Remus' 'connections' as he called them, begging him for every living detail of her life.

"That's my point! She's different! She's got something no other girl does!" Sirius insisted, dropping his quill and making to leave the room.

"You're like a puppy man, following the girl everywhere. Its getting stalker scary."

"Sod off, Prongs. Once she sees what I man I am she'll be head over heels for me, the thoughts of the essay completely erasing her mind!" Sirius called from the staircase as he exited the room.

"Its pathetic, really." James commented lightly to Remus before resuming his strenuos effort to complete the essay.

"I still can't believe you're doing this. Who would think, the two most wanted men in the school under the beck and call of two girls."

"Ooh trust me, I have an idea. You know how much the girls cherish their beloved locks? Well they won't exactly be the same, you watch tomorrow..." James revealed, moving to grin at his friend.

"You're messing with their hair? That's like suicide, mate!"

"We can handle it. How do you think pink'll look on Noel? What about green on Lily?"

"Bloody hell, James. I'm going to sit far away from you two at breakfast, the two girls are going to go balistic.

"That's the plan!" James told him lightly. As he turned to face his essay again, his elbow brushed his bottle of ink, causing it to whisk across the table, splattering maroon ink everywhere, before tumbling to the hard wood floor.

"DAMN IT!" He yelled in frustration before pushing himself off the chair with such a force that it went spinning into a corner of the room. Remus stood their, frozen, not wanting to be hit by James or the chair, and followed James as he ran out of the room.

As he reached the end of the tall staircase, he gazed at the scene in front of him. The Common Room was almost completely deserted, except for a certain red head calming his raven haired friend. What the bloody hell is going on? Lily Evans soothing Prongs? What kind of twisted world are we in? Choosing to leave the two in their peace, he slid quickly across the room and pushed the portrait forward in silence. Almost the whole school seemed deserted, but then he remembered that the majority of the students were still down at supper. As he turned the corner, heading for the library, he thought he would pass out from all the shocks he had that night. Noel Finnigan was pushed up against a wall by non other than Lucius Malfoy, and to the innocent eye it would look like he was mauling her, but Remus assumed this was what he thought snogging was. Noel looked as if she was struggling beneath his weight, as her hands were pressed firmly across his chest and he was backing off slowly.

"Calm down, Lucius. We're out in the halls for gods sakes."

"Sorry, Sorry."

"Thank you! Now I really need to get back to work so..."

"But--!"

"No, Lucius, I offered my services to Dumbledore while he's searching for a new librarian, and I really need to work. I'll see you later." She stood on her tip toes, planted a gentle kiss on his cheek, and entered the library.

Holy shit...Remus thought, partly for realizing he had just been eavesdropping but mainly for thinking how crushed Sirius would be when he found out. Not only was Noel dating someone, but Lucius Malfoy of all people. Of course it was odd for a Gryfindor to be dating a Slytherin, and he figured he could do some digging to find out what Lucius was blackmailing her with.

"Noel?" He called, stepping into the library once he was sure Malfoy had gone off toward the Slytherin common rooms.

"Over here!" She yelled quietly from behind a very very large mound of text books.

"Hey" He greeted her, croutching beside her.

"Hey Moony, what brings you here?" She asked, giving him a gentle hug.

"Er...I'm really sorry Noel, but I couldn't help but notice you've been a bit cozy with Malfoy latley..." Remus told her quietly, staring fixedly at his hands.

"Remus, were you spying on me?"

"I'm sorry, Noel..."

"Its okay, Remus. I'm not mad. I'm trusting you with something not even Lily knows. Lets sit down, I'm getting uncomfterble down here."

Seven minutes later Remus and Noel were sitting happily in a back corner of the library, undected, with two steaming hot mugs of tea.

"Noel, whats wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just really stuck right now. You want to know why I'm with Lucius though?

"Yes."

"Well, you know how I don't talk about my family? Its for a reason, Remus. Only the purebloods know about them...you see...my parents..." She began, and continued to tell her whole story, with the undivided attention of Remus, who was the perfect listener.

"Moony, mate, get up!" someone whispered, nudging Remus on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Remus replied groggily, adjusting his eyes to the dark of the library. How long have we been in here? He thought while making sure he wouldn't wake Noel, who was asleep on his lap. (A/N: They're just really good friends, nothing more.)

"Moony, hurry up, Filch and that nasty cat of his are on their rounds. We've got just enough time to get to the common room." Sirius whispered urgently.

"Wha?" Noel muttered, pushing herself up from Remus' lap and looking around.

"Come on, we've gotta get out of here." Sirius told her "Want me to carry you?" he added as an after thought. "We'll get there faster."

"Uh-huh" She replied, nodding her head and wrapping her arms around his neck. Sirius looked, even in the dark, emensly pleased with himself as he pulled her up and moved back and forth on his feet to make sure he wouldn't drop her on the way. Remus quickly gathered their mugs from the table, before following Sirius out of the room at a fast pace. They had wasted too much time in the library, and knew in the back of their minds they wouldn't all make it.

Before long they heard the unmistakable wheezing of the school caretaker, and Sirius turned to Remus.

"You go. I'll hide us somewhere, but I can't move fast enough with her. Don't worry, we'll be okay." He muttered hoarsley, winking. Remus gave him a quick nod before sprinting off down the hall, and Sirius trudged down another hallway, spotting a broom closet. He opened the door without haste and moved inside, clearing the contents of the closet with a quick wave of his wand, and then sat down in a corner against the floor, Noel securley in his arms. He heard the heavy footsteps of Filch pacing up and down the hallways, and as soon as he heard them decease he pulled out the map. Once assured that Filch was safely in his office, he existed the room and moved as quickly as he could from the closet to the common room.

"You made it!" Remus breathed as they entered the room, a smug look on Sirius' face.

"Told you I would. We ran into Malfoy on the way back, the look on his face was priceless. We were gone before he could say anything though."

The color drained from Remus' face as he heard Sirius.

"Moony? Whats the matter?"

"Nothing, Nothing. What're you going to do with Noel? We can't get up her staircase!"

"Ooh, that's not a problem" Sirius replied grinning, before trudging up his stairs, Noel in tow. Shaking his head, Remus shortly followed, imagining the outburst of the girl the next morning when she found herself in Sirius' bed, and if things went like Sirius wanted, in his clothes.

Well, what do you think? R&R like always!!! I forgot to mention that Noel has an accent, but I can't type/write the accent write so you can just pretend :-D
