Chapter 11 part 1:

"You alright Padfoot?" James asked a very anxious looking Sirius.

For some reason, his closest friend had been in the oddest mood all morning, and now that they were in the Great Hall, Sirius had started to look anxious. He saw Sirius glance at the head table, and then sweep around the hall, before feeling his robes and sighing with relief.

James looked at Sirius, amusedly; "You have another one of your dreams where you turn up to breakfast naked?"

Sirius sighed. "Something like that," he muttered.

James chuckled, and grabbed an apple from the pile in front of him; he kept his gaze on Sirius, watching him closely, while he took a bite from his apple.

"Something eating you Padfoot?" he asked between munches.

Sirius looked at James for a minute, before shaking his head, and eating his bacon.

James and Sirius sat almost silently for a long while, the only sound breaking the atmosphere was the crunching of James' apple, and the sound of Sirius' fork pushing food along his plate. James knew well enough, that when something was bothering Sirius, Sirius would tell him when he was ready.

"Hey Prongs?" Sirius asked, still gazing at his plate.

"Yeah?"

Sirius put his fork down, and returned James' gaze. "What do you know about Semasky? I mean she is a prefect and all, what do you know of her?"

James furrowed his brow slightly. He knew a little of Semasky, from seeing her at the Prefect meetings, but he didn't pay much attention to her. Most likely cause he was staring at Lily, or starring daggers at one of the Slytherins. He was curious though, as to why Sirius was so interested in her. He knew that there was something going on with them, he just wasn't sure what, and wasn't sure whatever it was, was a good or bad thing.

"Not much. She's a Slytherin, she's a prefect, she's smart, she's a smart , she's friends with Snivellus, and she doesn't like Black's," James listed.

"What do you mean she doesn't like Black's?" Sirius asked.

"Well we know she isn't a fan of yours, for a start, and after the hex she cast at your brother the last prefect meeting, I don't think she is a big fan of his either."

"What did she do to Regulas? What did Regulas do to her?" he asked, confusion etched on his face.

"She damaged his "equipment" for a while, telling him that maybe he ought to learn how to think with his "brain". I think Regulas was making some suggestive comments to her, I think that boy has a bit of a crush on her actually. And Regulas being Regulas, believes any girl should just fall at his feet."

"Well, I think we know by now, she isn't just any girl."

"True." James answered, "Padfoot, why are you asking about her. You haven't followed in your brothers footsteps have you?"

Sirius glared at James, "No Prongs, I am not suicidal, and I prefer girls that are less scary and evil than her."

"True, I mean she is best friends with Snivellus, so she can't be all good." James agreed.

"That's what I thought," Sirius muttered.

"Good, cause she may be hot, but she is also a Slytherin, and a cunning one at that." James said, throwing the core of his apple on the plate. "I have to go to the Library, and meet Lily for something. You staying here or?" James asked.

"I'll head up with you, I need to get a few books out for that Potion's assignment."

James looked down at Sirius from where he was standing, "You sure you are feeling ok? I mean, since when have you done work, voluntarily, on a weekend?"

Sirius laughed as he got up from his seat, "I said I was getting books out, I never said I was planning on using them."

James laughed, "Now that's more like it."

The two boys headed through the near deserted corridors. As it was still early in the school year, most 'normal' Hogwarts students were out enjoying what was left of the sunshine. James however, wasn't able to do that until he had finished his Head Boy duties. Though he was easily consoled by the fact that he had a very attractive redhead to keep him company, and that she was now participating in his flirting.

As they headed down another deserted corridor, James heard voices coming from a nearby classroom. It wasn't till he got closer that he recognised the voice, and more importantly the anger in that voice.

"Why?" he heard Lily ask, her voice loud, and laced with frustration and anger.

"Why not?" a familiar voice spat back.

James neck hair bristled at the sound of the second voice, and was just about to storm into the classroom, until he felt a hand on his shoulder keeping him in place. James looked up to see Sirius shaking his head at him and telling him to be quiet. He had completely forgotten that Sirius was with him, and wasn't sure whether he was happy about that or not.

"I don't even believe you think I need to answer that!" Lily yelled vehemently, "just be warned Snape."

"Is that a threat Evans?" Snape replied back icily.

"I don't threaten people Snape," Lily growled.

Actually that's a lie, you have threatened me loads of times , James thought despite himself.

"She's lying, she threatens me all the time," Sirius said quietly, voicing James' own thoughts out loud.

"I am merely stating the consequences," Lily finished warningly.

"Well I am not sure lately, whether I care much," Snape retorted angrily.

"Fine!" Lily yelled.

"Fine!' Snape replied, with as much venom in his voice as he could muster.

At that James walked in, not sure whether he could let this go any further. He knew Lily's and Snape's anger enough to know they were on dangerous ground. And although James really didn't care if Lily hexed the shit out of Snivellus, he wasn't too fussed on Lily being on the return of the numerous dark curses Snape was familiar with.

"You disgust me Snape," Lily stated coldly, as James and Sirius entered the room.

"Finally you have come around to my way of thinking," James addressed Lily, holding his wand tightly in his hand.

Lily and Snape jumped at the sound of James' voice, and turned to face them, both of their faces red with anger. He saw movement from behind them, the first sign that there was someone in the room other than Snape and Lily. James saw Semasky standing in front of a table; her face lined with disappointment, and worry. James was just hoping it wasn't disappointment that James had interrupted Snape's chance of attacking Lily.

"What the fuck do you want Potter?" Snape asked, at the same time Lily exclaimed, "What the hell are you doing here James?"

"Was just seeing what all the commotion was about, and as it sounded like Lily was tearing you to shreds, we thought we'd come in and watch the show," James answered, spitefully.

Snape stared pointedly at Lily, communicating something James could not understand, before storming out of the room. Semasky went to follow, but paused to look at Lily, and then for some reason Sirius, before following after Snape.

"Care to explain what the hell that was all about?" James asked Lily, who he could see was still seething from anger.

She turned and glared at him, "You can be an insensitive asshole sometimes James."

"What the hell did I do?" James asked perplexed, his familiar temper starting to rise.

"Urgh!" Lily yelled out of frustration before stalking out of the room in a huff. Leaving James wondering whether to go after her, and Sirius confused as to the workings of a women's mind.

So was it worth the wait? Probably not, but if you could leave a review and tell me what you think of the update, regardless that would be super ;)
