Thanks to Rachel and Jedicren for reviewing!!! SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE!!! Believe it or not microsoft word crashed on my computer. By the way, I have noted that James eyes are cannon and will fix my first chapter if I learn how to. And if after this chapter you wonder why I created Rhys because in the third book I feel like Sirius and Remus have tension between their characters. But now here's my third/fourth chapter!

For declaimer see introduction!

The much anticipated night when James and Sirius would venture into the Dark Forest was approaching quickly. Remus was still upset with their decision to go but had gotten tired of complaining about the subject. Peter had agreed to joined James and Sirius, for seeing it as a once in a life time offer. Lily Evanswas beginning to suspect the boys for according toher they were"acting very suspicious". Sirius was pretty sure Remus had told Rhys for every so often she would send James, Peter, and Sirius smiles.

Though Sirius was looking forward to this event he had other things on his mind such as the Slytherins bothering him in the hallways. They wouldcurses him, but they would whisper crude words around him and punch him when he waked by. His cousin, Bellatrix, did not seem to be very forgiving and took it upon herself to tell him whenever it seemed necessary. Although Sirius seemed to be getting used to this behavior he didn't appreciate it.

"I hate Slytherins!" Sirius shouted, as he sat down at the lunch table in his usual spot.

James nodded in agreement, while grabbing a sandwich. "They are good for nothing, worthless, pieces of – hey, professor."

The boys' potions professor had just entered the Great Hall, and after hearing them chatting, walked straight to them. He gave them a grim face. A couple of the Slytherins were laughing at them. Sirius stuck out his tongue and Peter made evil eyes. "Not liking my house, Mr. Black?"

Sirius stared with wide eyes at him, not at all knowing how to answer his question. "Ummm… well they don't seem to accept the fact that I'm in Gryffindor so we've had some disagreements."

"Pity," He said in mock sadness." Then it will be twenty points from Gryffindor. I suggest you learn to hold your tongue while talking to a superior Mr. Black."

Sirius glared as he walked away from his table and back to the teachers table. "I wouldn't be much surprised if he was egging the Slytherins on," Peter said in an annoyed voice.

"He's not worth even talking about," Sirius said, fuming with anger.

"I'll see you later guys, my train to see my Grandmother leaves soon," Remus said shortly after their argument.

Everyone waved good bye to Remus. "So Sirius who are you going to ask to the Halloween dance?" Peter asked in his usual, quite manner.

Sirius had almost forgotten about the Halloween dance. Peter had a date, and though almost every 1st-4th year girl in the school was dying to go with him he had yet to ask anyone. He had been ask by several geeky girls, but knowing Sirius he gently said no for he wasn't sure on going.

"Personally I'm bored of all this 'dance talk'. Who really cares who goes with who?" Sirius said loudly.

"That didn't answer his question." James said with a grin growing on his face.

"I haven't given it much thought."

"Oh, really," James said smiling." I think you're just—"

James was interrupted by Rhys running done the stairs. "Have you seemed Remus?" She asked in an urgent manner.

"He just left. He went to go see his Grandmother etc. etc." James said in a slightly dazed voice.

"Do you need to see him?" Sirius asked kindly. "I think he might be n the Hospital Wing."

"Why would he be in the Hospital Wing? And no its not urgent, I just wanted to say… good bye,"

Rhys waved to she friends as he left. "Wasn't he supposed to leave a couple days before now?" James whispered to Sirius.

"That's what I thought." Sirius said slightly confused and suddenly remembering the details of Remus's trip.

Rhys started to walk up the stairs and then walked back done and ran over to Lily who sat reading a book by herself at the Gryffindor table. "Lily, do you no where the Hospital Wing is?" She asked in a sort of kind quiet voice.

Before Lily could even answer Sirius yelled out, "I know where it is."

Rhys adverted her attention from Lily and stood smiling at Sirius, "Well let's go!"

Sirius winked at James, for this gave James an ample opportunity to ask Lily to the dance.

Sirius led Rhys to the Hospital Wing only to find that Remus had already begun his journey home. Rhys looked very unhappy, and though Sirius wondered why she was unhappy, he promised to himself that he would not ask.

Black's are not known for keeping their word and of course the next words out of his mouth were, "Why are you in such a great need to see Remus?"

She smiled slightly and said, "I've been trying to get I'm to delay his visit for I don't have a date to the dance."

Sirius sat surprised at his good luck. He smiled as they walked down the corridors. Right before they reached the entrance hall Sirius stopped walking and for a few moments debate asking Rhys to the dance. "Seeing that I do not have any one to go with and neither do you so… Will you go to the Halloween dance with me?"

Rhys smiled brightly at first and then turned her head to face the other direction. "I guess."

"Good," Sirius said happily to himself." I must warn you that I might leave a little bit early though because I have something to do."

"What?" Rhys asked angrily. "I know you've been planning something Black, what is it?"

"Nothing," Sirius said as innocently as he could. "I've got to go to the library. I guess, I'll see you later."

"You can't fool me," Rhys said laughingly as she walked back into the Great Hall.

"So… How'd it go?" Sirius asked James happily.

"How'd what go?" James replied back.

"You were planning on asking Evans weren't ya?"

"Well, you see… um-" James began, but was interrupted by Peter.

"It was a train crash. He couldn't blurt out the words and when he did she said no straight out. It was amoung the funniest sights I have ever witnessed." Peter said laughing.

James looked offended and in defense said, "She said she wasn't going."

"That's not what I heard," Sirius said. "On the way of taking Rhys to hospital wing, she said Lily might be going with this over zealous fourth year."

"A fourth year?" James said in an upset tone.

"Sorry mate." Peter said sympathetically.

"We are on for tonight, right?" Sirius said, attempting to lift James's spirits. "It's going to be awesome!"

The boys nodded with anticipation. Sirius was happy to know that his dream was going to be complete and the fact that the Halloween feast and dance were on the same day it was even better. But something soon demolished Sirius's happy face, when he remembered that Rhys was suspicious of him. He decided to keep it to himself for there was no use in worrying the others. "Guess what Peter and I found yesterday?" James announced proudly.

Sirius looked up at James, who was now sitting straight up as opposed to his usual slouch. " I found a secret passageway to Hogmeade. It s behind that old statue on the upstairs corridor."

Sirius face quickly changed from jokingly, to smiling and serious. "I say we also, tonight take a trip to Hogsmeade."

Peter and James nodded in agreement. "What's this I here about Hogsmeade?" A high squeak said from behind the bookshelves.

Severus Snape turned around the corner and stood facing the marauders with a smirk on his face. "You are going to be in so much trouble."

"You really are the stupidest person I know," Sirius said in a sly voice. "First you decide to listen to all our plans then come outright and say that you were. That just stupid to start with, but if you haven't noticed we are in the furthest back section of the library, if we decided to curse you no one would ever here it. And there's no Professor McGonagall to save you now."

Peter nodded in agreement as he reached for his wand but it would seem James was already a step away from him. James mumbled a few words to himself as Snape flew backwards an hit the bookshelves. Sirius muttered "fungious" under his breath and Snape began to mold. Peter, who happened to be very advanced at charms, said, in a hushed voice," Obliverate!" and Severus soon forgot why he was even in the library.

With a few chuckles to the boys left the library, unknowing that something was watching them from behind.

Lily Evans stood, shocked at what she had just heard and witnessed. She stood pressed against the bookshelves and breathed deeply in and out. She had decided to go back and accept to go to the dance with James, for she felt sorry for turning him down, but there was no way she would do that now. The thought on telling Professor Dipet ran through her mind, but for some unknown reason she let it pass and began to run to the common room to tell the others.

The boys took their time getting to the common room. When they entered they felt the strange sensation of having everyone stare at you and follow you with your eyes. Sirius had no idea what was going on and simply sat down on one of the comfy Gryffindor chairs. "Is what Lily said true?" A girl with blonde bouncy curls for hair.

"I don't know," Sirius said truthfully. "What did she say."

"She said you James and Peter were going to dis the dance and run into the dark forest."

"Well, Gwen, we planned it and we still are going to whether Evans likes it or not." Sirius said with a smile.

"Sirius I'll tell him," Lily interrupted. "I'll tell Professor Dipet you--"

"No you won't because you would hate to get your beloved James in trouble."

Lily turned her back and huffed out of the common room as the boys went upstairs to go get changed for the dance.

Sirius met Rhys in the common room. SHe was wearing dress robes of a dark green, and it looked very elagant onher. Sirius, on the other hand, hated dress robes so instead he wore his Hogwarts robes. Rhys laughed when she saw him, "What are you wereing?"

"My dress robes...sheesh," Sirius said in a very girlish fashion.

They slowly walked out of the Common room and toward the ball, Peter, James, and Peter's date trailing behind.
