Jess was dreading the return of Laura, they were best friends and she had just done something terrible. But then again Laura was the one betraying her by going out with Remus even thought Jess liked him, not that she had told her that she liked him, but there best friends and she should know these things!

There was a noise from over by the door and Jess pulled her hangings open and saw Lily and Emma levitating their trunks in.

"Jess." Lily said and she hugged her.

"Hi." Jess said plastering a fake smile on her face as she hugged her friends. "Laura not here?"

"No she's coming later." Emma said, "so how was your week?"

"Um." Jess said how much could she say without accidentally telling them she had tried to get of with her best friends boyfriend. "It was OK I suppose."

"How was the Three Broomsticks?" Lily asked flopping down on her bed.

"Ok, one man tried it on." Jess said.

"Tried it on in a good way?" Emma asked.

"No in a bad way, but Remus helped me out." Jess said, guilt rising in her when she said Remus name.

"Remus is nice, Laura is lucky to have him." Lily said.

"Um what about you two?" Jess asked eager to get the subject off Remus.

Soon everyone had arrived back at the castle and they all sat in the common room together trading stories and having a laugh.

"So Peter what was your job like?" Sirius asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Messy." He grunted, "and smelly."

"Well animal poo doesn't really have the best scent." James said and everybody started laughing.

"Don't be mean James." Lily said, trying to hold back a smile.

James just smiled innocently, "fine." He said, "what about you Remus?"

"It was great, but I have the strangest feeling that I've forgotten something really important." He said.

"Like what?" Emma asked.

"I don't know." he said hitting his head to try and remember,

"It's probably nothing." Jess said quickly.

"I suppose, it's just annoying." Remus said.

The weeks rolled by and soon the NEWTS were only a matter of weeks away. Dumbledore had excused al seventh year prefects from patrol duties so they could revise.

Lily and James sat together in the common room, they were meant to be revising, but they got a bit distracted.

"Your not good for me." Lily said as she curled up to James by the fire.

"That's why you love me." James said smiling at his girlfriend.

Lily smiled back, "no, I love you because you're you." Lily said and she planted a soft kiss on James' lips.

"Ah look how cute they look together." Sirius said sitting down with Emma opposite them.

Lily smiled sweetly and sat up.

James was slightly annoyed that they had been interrupted.

"It's unusual to see you not revising for once." Emma said to Lily.

"There is more to life then work." Lily said.

"What? Who are you and what have you done with Lily!?" Sirius asked dramatically.

Lily stuck her tongue out at him, "ha Ha." She said.

"So how far away are the exams?" James asked.

"Three weeks." Lily said, and she suddenly felt guilty that she wasn't revising.

"That's soon." Sirius said going slightly white.

"Not worried are you Padfoot?" James asked.

"Nope, but I think I ate some bad chicken tonight." Sirius said.

"Sure," James said, "anyway I'm going to bed, got to get up early for Quiddich Training tomorrow."

"What tomorrow?" Sirius asked.

"Yes." James said, "I want the team up at the crack of dawn." James said and he strode off to bed.

"He's mad." Emma said shaking her head.

"I'd better get to bed too if I have to be up at five in the morning." Sirius said and she left too.

"I wonder where Jess and Laura are," Lily said, "it seems like ages since we just hung out together with no boys or anything."

"I know, but I think Laura and Remus are in the prefects common room, and Jess might be in bed." Emma said.

"Do you thong Jess still feels left out?" Lily asked.

"I dunno, she hasn't really said much since we came back from practical week."

"I know, strange, I wonder if anything happened?" Lily wondered.

"Lets go and see if she wants to talk." Emma said and they went up to the dormitories.

Jess was sitting at a desk in the corner of the room scribbling furiously with her quill.

"What you doing Jess?" Lily asked softly.

"What? Oh yeah I'm fine." Jess said not looking up.

"Are you sure, we have hardly seen you at all lately." Emma said.

"Yes, I've just been busy with work." Jess said putting down her quill.

Lily looked at her sceptically, "is there something that you to tell us?" She asked, "anything on your mind?"

Jess looked into Lily's eyes, Lily was probably he one person that she could tell, and not lose her as a friend, but she didn't dare tell anyone. "No, nothing I'm just working hard for my NEWT's."

True Jess had been spending most of her time with her head in books, but she wasn't reading them, in fact she didn't take in a word of them.

Lily just looked at her, why did she always give the impression that she could see right through people, but Lily just said, "I'm going to get ready for bed," and she went over to her trunk.

Jess turned back to the desk and cleared away all her books, she waited until Lily and Emma had gotten into bed before doing so herself.

She heard someone enter the room, it was Laura, "anyone awake?" she asked.

Lily popped her head through the hangings. "Hi Laura, where have you been?"

"In the prefect common room with Remus." She said.

"Oh really." Lily said, "I bet you weren't revising.".

"I never kiss and tell." Laura said and she changed into her PJ's.

"Have you talked to Jess recently?" Lily asked.

"Yeah this morning, but just about work and stuff." Laura said, "why?"

"Nothing I just get the feeling that she has something on her mind, but she's not saying anything?" Lily said.

"Like what?" Laura asked.

Lily thought or a second, "I don't know." She lied.

The next day Lily and James were walking back from Charms together hand in hand.

I wish we could get out of the castle for a while." Lily said looking out of a nearby window longingly.

"Then why don't we?2 James asked, "I have an invisibility cloak, no one would see."

Lily thought for a second, James knew that there were two Lily's batteling inside her head. One was telling her she shouldn't go, and the other was telling her to go and have fun.

"I don't know." Lily said. "if we were caught we'd lose our badges."

"Then we'll have to be extra careful." James said persuasively.

Lily thought for a few seconds more, "isn't there anywhere else we could go?"

It seemed that how ever much Lily wanted to have fun, she wouldn't risk losing her badge for it.

"Well." James said a thought coming to him. "We could got to the room of requirement."

"The what?" Lily asked.

"The room of requirement, it's a room that turns into anything you want it to be." James explained.

"Sounds great." Lily said.

They sped back to the common room dumped their bags, and James retrieved his cloak and map from his trunk.

"What is that?" Lily asked pointing to the piece of parchment in his hands.

"This is the greatest invention ever, and a piece of the marauders finest work." James said proudly puffing out his chest.

Lily looked at him sceptically.

"I'll explain later." He said and she threw the cloak around the tow of them and made their way to the room of requirement.

James walked past the wall a few times with Lily following him.

"What are you doing?" Lily asked as if James was mad.

But James just nodded towards a door that had appeared in front of them.

They entered to find a big room full of squashy chairs, a roaring fire and a bar in one corner. To the left there was a big set of doors with a small garden filled with snow.

"Wow." was all Lily could say. "has this always been here."

"I think so." James said and he went over to the bar. "What can I get you madam? A butterbeer, or something stronger?"

Lily laughed and joined James at the bar.

Soon they had gone throught most of the drinks, and were now out in the fake garden having a snowball fight.

Peter sat in the common room with Jess, they were working, but Peter couldn't concentrate with Jess sitting near him.

"Peter are you alright, you don't seem to be doing much work?" Jess asked looking over at Peter.

"What, oh yeah I'm fine." He said clumsily knocking over an ink bottle.

Jess rolled her eyes and moved a little away from him, he gave her the creeps.

"Hello folks." Remus said cheerily joining them.

Guilt filled Jess' stomach, "hey." She said quietly.

"What happened?" Remus asked looking over at Peter fumbling to save his work form getting drenched in ink.

"Just an accident." He said.

"What too busy staring at Jess." Remus muttered loudly enough for Peter and Jess to hear.

"What?" Peter asked going red.

Jess pretened to not have heard, but still felt repulsed at the thought to going anywhere near Peter in that way.

Remus rolled his eyes, and he followed Laura, who had just walked in, up to his dormitory.

They entered the empty room.

They sat in the room together for a little while, talking, kissing, talking and kissing a bit more.

"I love you." Remus whispered in Laura's ear.

Laura smiled and hugged her boyfriend.

Remus waited to hear the words back, but Laura stayed silent.

He broke out of the hug and looked expectantly at Laura.

She looked uncomfortable, she didn't want to lie to Remus, she really cared for him, but she didn't know whether she loved him.

"So, I have to go. I have a ton of work to do." She said hoping Remus would stop her.

"Why are you leaving?" He asked and he pulled her back onti his bed.

"I have work to do."

"Why did you just ignore me when I said that I love you?" Remus asked.

"I didn't ignor you." Laura said.

"But you didn't say anything." Remus said, "don't you love me back?"

"Well." Laura said, "I really like you nad we have a lot of fun and all, but."

"But you don't love me." Remus said hurt filling his voice.

"It's not that I don't like you, because I do, it's just that I don't know if I love you." Laura asid rying to explain herself, but Remus was just looking like she had ripped his heart out.

"But, we've been together for ages, I mean before you found out that I was a weewolf you were all over me, but after you found out you distanced your self from me, why?" Remus asked.

"It's not that it's just that, well…." Laura had no idea what to say, she knew deep down inside that that was why she didn't love him.

"I get it, your ashamed to be going out with me since you know what I really am." Remus said angry.

"It's not that…" Laura said helplessly.

"I thougth you were different, I mean everyone else excepts it and they don't treat me different, and I never expected you to." Remus said moving away from Laura like she was somethingdamgerous.

"No you don't understand, I, it's just…….." Laura trued to say something, anything that would make this seem better, but Remus was spot on, she just knew that she would never be able to handle growing old with a werewolf. It's not that she couldn't love him, she just didn't want to, she knew it would all end in tears.

"Just leave." Remus shouted turning away from her discusted, and feeling about two inches high.

"Remus, don't be like this." Laura pleeded putting a hand on his shoulder.

He shrugged her off, "don't touch me, you might catch something." Remus spat coldly.

Laura just stood there looking at him hurt.

"Get out!" He shouted, and Laura eventually left.

Right had no idea what to write in this chapter but I hope it's OK, I'm aiming to get this stpry nearly finished by Christmas, I doubt that will happen, but I live in hope!

Next up are the NEWT's and I have something planed for Peter! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Evil Laughter)

If he were anyone else I would feel sorry for what I'm about to do to him, but he's not and I don't!

Don't forget to review!
