A.N. Hey Everybody!!! Sorry for the wait, I was in an exam period at school  and I did not have much time to type my chapter down on the computer. So I'll just skip the author's note and start writing, after saying how I wuv my reviewers sooo much!!!!!!! ^^

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Previous Chapter*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Remus looked at his friend strangely.

//He's soo sexy! Don't you think so? Especially with that towel around his waist, I just

wanna-//

Sirius blushed.

"What do you mean 'don't I think so'??? I'm a *bloke* for Merlin's sake!!!"

//I want to meet him *sighs*//

'Dumb ass' "You can't! You're invisible!"

//I'm no dumb ass!!!… Fine… Fine then… be that way…//

"Hey? Hey! Don't go I'm not finished talking to you. I-" Sirius' mouth closed instantly when

he saw that both of his fellow marauder's were giving him the 'I-think-we've-lost-him-to-

the-loony-bin-forever' look.

"That's about the only thing you missed Moony, Sirius talking to himself…" James muttered.

"I was not! What about you? Lily waltzes in our dorm, swallows your tongue out for 2

minutes an a half then leaves! Got an explanation for that?"

James groaned and threw a pillow at Sirius' head.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He dodged the pillow quickly, it's landing mark now being Remus' pile of textbooks and novels. Remus glared at James, got on his knees since bending would've been inappropriate and started re-arranging his books.

"Black! Lupin!"

The yell came from the common room. Remus' head snapped towards his friend, his eyes narrowing. He gave him a questioning look. 'What did Sirius do now? … And why did that person yell *MY* name?' His gaze followed Sirius as he proceeded to run frantically around the dorm looking for… for a place to hide apparently…

Sirius stopped for a moment, his gaze meeting Remus'.

"What are you *doing* Moony? Come ON! Hide! Unless you have a death wish!"

"But I didn't *do* anything Padfoot!" He answered, taking clothes out of his drawer, carefully selecting the pieces.

"So? It doesn't mean she knows that! It also doesn't help that both our names are-"

"WHAT?"

He didn't need to hear more. He quickly grabbed a pile of clothes, accidentally pulling the drawer out completely, making everything it contained fall to the floor.

'How the hell did he manage to involve me in another one of his pranks? And why ME? I need to hide somewhere… I need to get some CLOTHES on… The bathroom!'

He rushed to the dorm bathroom and locked himself in, leaning on the door.

Sirius' head snapped up towards the door.

'Did he… Was the door… Nooooo… He didn't!!!'

He got up from under the bed, sneezing because of the dust, and stumbling on the drawer Remus had left on the floor. He rushed to the bathroom, turning the doorknob. It was locked.

'He did!'

James watched as his friend started pounding frantically on the door. Forgetting momentarily about Lily and his meeting later on, he let out a wholehearted laugh, one that he hadn't been able to let out for quite some time. His friends qould never cease to amuse him.

"Remus you dolt!!! You want me to get *murdered*? You Bloody bastard! Open up this instant!!!"

The girl was now stomping up the stairs, coming unbearably close to their dorm.

"I can't open up Siri!!" He answered in a sing-song voice. "I'm changing!!!" Sirius could practically hear his pal grinning like a moron behind the closed door.

She banged on the door.

"Open up Black! I know you're in there!"

'Ok, here goes, I'll try anything to survive…'

Sirius launched himself at the door, fake sobs coming out of him, pleading his 'so called' friend.

James was now laughing his head off, breathe ragged, holding his stomach. Sirius Black. Actually 'pleading' someone. Now that was something. He finally got up from his bed, grabbing his cloak and putting it over Sirius' head.

"You know Sirius, she is gonna come barging in here at any moment so just stay there, I'll try to persuade her to leave… or forgive you and kiss your fears away."

Sirius pulled the cloak off his head and glared at his friend.

"You wouldn't dare…" He said, trying to act menacing, but failing miserably, looking more like a beat up puppy.

//Actually, I think that he would gladly…//

"You're back!"

"Shut up!" James pulled the cloak back over Sirius' head, making him disappear again.

Marie Day came in the dorm, her cheeks red with anger and her light brown hair flowing around her face, sticking up in the air due to static. Sirius' heart lurched. He was scared and content at the same time. Scared that she would beat the living pulp out of him and content to be able to see her reaction.

//Isn't that girl pretty?//

'Yeah…' thought Sirius. His eyes then widened in realisation. He had just admitted to… that person… that he thought Maria was pretty

//Ooooh, Isn't this going to be fun!//

Sirius smashed his head on the bathroom door repeatingly, silently… Or so he thought. Suddenly he felt cold air as the cloak was lifted off of him. He opened his eyes to find himself staring directly into someone else's. Maria's. He gulped.

"Hello Darling…"

"Don't you 'darling' me you prat! You think that trick was funny! Oh and don't try to make Remus take all the blame, Black. I know he wasn't in for it!!!" Sirius' eyes softened.

'She never calls *me* by my first name…'

//Jealous?//

"Not at all!!!!!" Maria looked at him, puzzled. Sirius blushed.

"Well, Padfoot, mate… I have to go, meeting with Brain"

Sirius sent James a flabbergasted look.

"You're leaving me here with her!!!"

//Don't sound so desperate//

"Really sorry Padfoot!" he said, walking towards the door.

"Lily is probably waiting for me downstairs, adios mate!"

James chuckled, leaving the dorm room with only Maria and Sirius in it. Sure, Remus was still in the bathroom but he wasn't ready to get out of there yet. And Maria would probably have her way with Padfoot so he wouldn't be able to leave yet. Lily was waiting for him in the common room, arms crossed over her chest, grinning.

"Seems Maria has joined Black…" she told him.

James grinned.

"Yeah, and seems that Sirius won't be coming down soon… so… should we go?"

There was an awkward silence between the two.

Lily closed her eyes and smiled.

"I am pretty hungry, I guess it's not use waiting for our friends for breakfast."

She started walking towards the painting. James stood there, looking at her retreating form.

"Wait up!" he said, sprinting at her, passing her and stepping out of the common room first.

Lily giggled and started to run too. The two finally reached the great hall, laughing and out of breath. James blushed as she hugged him. The entered the dining hall and went to sit down at the Gryffindor table. About half an hour later, Remus, Sirius, Maria and Valerie came down to breakfast.

They sat down around their friends and started gathering food on their plates. James, sitting in front of Lily, had not acknowledged their presence yet and kept speaking with her. Sirius looked at Remus and grinned.

But Lily had caught sight of that grin and turned towards him.

"Black, seems that you're alive. I see that Maria has taken care to not damage you too much."

//Let's just say that not much harm was done//

"There wasn't much damage involved Lily" said Remus, earning a smack behind the head from his friend.

'God he's almost as bad as that damn conscience is!'

//teehee//

Sirius banged his head repeatedly on the table, his eyes closed, groaning. Maria pushed her plate full of food in front of him and his head landed in it, hair and face getting squished in the lovely breakfast mix.

Sirius lifted his head slowly, spitting out the food that had managed to enter his mouth.

"Eww…"

Valerie laughed, ruffling Remus' hair making him blush.

James laughed. Sirius took his right hand and took the food off of his face.

"Prongs?" He asked.

"Hmm?"

Sirius leaned over the table and spread the breakfast mush all over his face.

"PADFOOT!!!!" By now the whole gang was laughing but Remus, Lily, Maria and Valerie had been sure to move out of reach of the two boys before their projectiles would touch them.

Carlos Rickleman, a 7th year Ravenclaw, came over to Lily just as she was getting up from the table. Draping his arm over her shoulders, he leaned in closer to her.

"Hey Evans, want to go out with me on the next hogsmeade weekend?"

He had been hinting to her for the past week that he was interesting in her. But Lily had been doing her best to avoid him. Unfortunately, it seemed that he had gotten a hold of her this morning, and unlucky for him, James was currently watching him.

Lily could practically feel the jealousy boiling inside her companion. Slowly, she moved away from his grasp, turning around to face him.

"Sorry Carlos, I'm not available that weekend…"

Valerie lifted and eyebrow. Obviously, Lily had forgotten to mention to her friends that she had somehow gotten herself into a relationship with her former enemy.

"Oh, then…" He said, trying to get closer to her again.

"When will you be available?"

"Not for a very long time Carlos… well… I don't think so…" she answered back, a slight blush tinting her cheeks. James got up from the table sharply, trying to appear calm. Sirius looked at Remus.

"Since when did James get so over-protective with one of his girlfriends?" he asked him.

"Never…" Remus answered, getting up also and following Valerie to the Library.

"I'll see you later at lunch Padfoot, Valerie and I plan on studying for the transfiguration exam coming up. We'll probably be occupied all morning.

Sirius wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Are you sure that you'll only be studying???"

Remus smacked him behind the head. Sirius, pretending to feign hurt, started pretend-weeping onto Maria's shoulder.

Lily said her good byes to her friends, saying that she had some reading to catch up on in the tower and left for the common room. James merely said anything, following her.

Sirius simply looked at his friend going away, Maria pulling at his hair.

"What in the world are you trying to do Maria Day?!"
