Amandinka- (rejoices) I'm glad you like it! And don't worry, I'm feeling the J/L ness. And if I go anywhere near the plans I have for this story it will be long
Xadie- Well I tried to give the characters a new image without totally warping the HP world- I'll save that for my next fiction!
Social Twist- Thank you! I'm glad you like my characterization! It's so hard not to shift back to the mental images I got from the book! And don't worry, there will be supreme slashy goodness!
Bluebird161221- Well one can never tell these days! I try to be different with the characters because I feel they have a much broader scope than people give them. Sirius isn't always the good hearted bad boy, and Snape isn't always the resentful jealous greasy child- at least not in my mind!

If Erradane hadn't loved a challenge, she would have sent James on his merry way, but she did indeed love a challenge and this was indeed a challenge.
He'd told her his entire situation, his feelings on the matter, and began an ill-formulated plan on how to remedy the situation. She in turn held up a hand. She already had an idea in mind.
She walked next to the Slytherin Head Girl making mindless chatter. Narcissa was a bright girl, but she wasn't the best conversationalist.
It was when Erradane's eyes caught sight of a head of red hair that she subtly shifted their walking in that direction. Her mouth set in determination. She only had one chance to make this work…
"OW!"
Lily looked down in confusion at the girl who had just bumped into her, not even with enough force to fall over, but she had. The Slytherin robes caught her view and she found herself looking into the face of the Slytherin Head Girl. "What's going on here?" asked Narcissa.
"She knocked me down on purpose!" said Erradane with the appropriate mix of shock and pain in her voice.
"I did no such thing! That's absolute fodder!" protested Lily.
"Enough! Detention Miss Evans!" said a professor that had just stepped out of his classroom- A teacher that had graduated from Slytherin.
Lily looked down at the girl to see a cocky grin that she was sure only Sirius Black could have when the grin disappeared in a look of pain when the Slytherin's friends came to help her up.
"Oooooh!" growled Lily. But by the time she thought to defend herself it was too late, the Slytherin were gone, and she was left wondering what had just happened.
XxXxX
Erradane found it mildly difficult to keep herself completely calm while James Potter fumed at her. He was after all, twice her size and quite the athlete. Nevertheless, she stayed serene and watched him while he shouted and vented his anger on unsuspecting walls.
"Now she's just going to hate me more!"
"Oh? Last I checked, Lily had no idea you had anything to do with it Potter," said Erradane smoothly. She waited until it was obvious James was listening to continue. "Beyond that, you have the same detention. You'll be alone. I trust I can leave the rest to you?"
"…What do I owe you?"
"I'll decide that when the time comes," said Erradane smiling. "Ta Ta little Griffindor, oh, and don't be too aggressive with the lovely lady Lily, charm her."
"Um…Whatever," said James. "Just, Thanks!" he said running off.
Erradane couldn't stop the smile from coming to her lips. In a way, the boy was adorable, he had a childish charm.
"Didn't know you were playing matchmaker Erradane," said a cool voice next to her ear.
She winced. She hadn't even known her lover was in the hall. "When it's to my advantage." she said walking on- only to find herself pinned to the wall, her lover's blonde hair brushing over her shoulder. She winced again.
"He's going to screw it up you know,"
"Let him determine that," said Erradane.
XxXxX
Sirius was shocked. He couldn't believe he'd been slapped. Instead of letting his rage out on some poor unsuspecting target where Remus could calm him, he let it simmer. No, this was a matter of letting Snape know what the rules were.
XxXxX
Snape wanted to talk to Lily. Lily would know what to say, what to do. But his only friend was nowhere to be found and he was left wandering the halls, searching for some form of comfort. Instead he came across two people having a rather heated argument in the hall.
"Not tonight Eriko," murmured one. "I have to-"
"Do what? Are you cheating on me with one of those Slytherin whores?"
"No!" protested Erradane despite the fact that she was still trying to pull her wrist from the other girl's hold.
Snape could only watch in open mouthed shock as Erradane argued with the Ravenclaw girl.
"Would have never figured Erradane for liking girls."
He spun around to see Sirius who had been standing right behind him with the same expression he had.
"I would have at least thought she'd be the one in charge," murmured Sirius, half to himself, half to Snape.
In the mean time, Erradane had given in to the blonde Raven claw, and it was a sight to behold, each contrasting the other.
Where Erradane had golden skin, black silky curls and deep dark brown eyes, Eriko had pale skin, straight long platinum blonde hair, and violet eyes. They were around the same height and watching them brought to mind only lust.
Snape meanwhile had caught hold of himself and tried to rush by Sirius only to be caught by the wrist and dragged off. Despite himself, he knew he couldn't call for help lest he show that he'd been witness to such a personal event. But every fiber of his mind was screaming at him for the danger he was clearly getting into even if it was against his will.

Lily slammed down her potions book on the desk as she entered a detention she was well assured she hadn't merited.
The teacher glared at her as he stood by the door waiting for the other students to come in for their detentions. And Lily couldn't have been any more irritable than she was the moment James Potter entered with a grin causing the teacher to glare at him.
"I will be in the next classroom over, grading papers. If I hear your chattering, you'll receive another detention-"
"But sir you can't possibly be contemplating leaving me alone with this prat!"
"That's enough! Miss Evans!" he hissed. "Your detention starts now!" he said walking out and slamming the door behind him.
Lily and James stared at the door for a second before looking to each other, James with a grin, and Lily with a scowl that could put icebergs to shame with coolness.
XxXxX
Lily tried to complete her studies but it was difficult with James staring at her like that. Finally, she closed her book slowly. And turned to him with a glare. "What?"
He froze. Now that he'd finally gotten her attention he was naturally quite giddy, but he didn't know what to say. He'd kept Erradane's words in mind, but that still didn't tell him much. Slowly he walked over and sat on the desk in front of Lily's.
She looked at him suspiciously, the look of boyish confusion on his face not sitting well with her. "I…" he began. "I…Don't know what to say to you," he confessed.
"Then don't say anything." she said looking back to her work.
"But I want to!" he protested. "You're not like the other girls at all!"
"What was your first hint?" she said not looking up at him.
"Your reasoning for not sleeping with me."
Her eyes shot up to him with a cool glare. "That's because-"
"Because you have respect for yourself." he finished. "Not because you fear for your reputation, or pregnancy, or any of that rot. It's because you respect yourself and know you deserve better than me." he murmured. Lily was at a loss for how to respond so he continued eagerly. "You…You stick up for what you believe in, you don't care what others think- And you're smart and hard working. You're beautiful and that's obvious- But! That's not what draws people to you- You're…A lot of what I wish I had in myself…" he said slowly, as if he'd only realized it at that moment.
Lily's mouth opened and closed slowly at the revelations James had just made. She'd only seen him as a virgin chaser and a bully. But now she saw him as he really was. A child trying to attach himself to what he admired. "…Thank you." she murmured. "I'm flattered."
James smiled brightly and opened his mouth right before closing it. This was not, he realized, an appropriate time to ask her out on a date. Not that it'd ever stopped him before, but he felt that to do so right now would be to lose the progress he'd so painstakingly made.
"…Maybe James, just maybe, when you learn to respect yourself and others," said Lily slowly, "You'll be someone I'd be extremely proud to associate with." said Lily closing her book. "Detention's over." she said nodding at the clock. "It's time to go."

Severus couldn't have been more terrified than when Sirius led them to a passage he hadn't known existed and into a painfully empty Great Hall.
He lifted Snape and sat him on the table in front of him standing between his legs and holding on to his thighs. "We need to talk Snape." said Sirius seriously.
"No! We don't!" said Snape trying to back away from Sirius. When Sirius pulled him close to him by wrapping his arms around his torso and they were face to face, he gave up his squirming. "Let go Black." he said coolly, though he was trembling at the same time. Partially from fury, partially from confusion.
"No," said Sirius allowing his lips to graze Severus' shoulder.
"I don't want to be part of your game anymore!" said Snape bracing his hands against Sirius's shoulders only to yelp when Sirius bit down on his shoulder.
"A game?" said Sirius in a cool voice. "Fine then. We'll make a game. Rule one. You don't tell me what to do." he said as his hands brushed down Snape's sides and he continued to ravage Snape's neck. "Rule two. You don't hide from me." he said nipping at the skin again, pleased when Snape released a low moan. "Third." Snape winced as Sirius grabbed the undersides of his legs flipping him forward so he was on his back on the table with his arms pinned to his sides as Severus crawled over him. "I win." said Sirius taking Severus' mouth in a savage kiss.
Snape's hands clenched and unclenched as his mind tried to compute the situation but every second he only got more and more confused as Sirius pinned his wrists above his head with one hand and held his head in place with the other deepening the kiss.
Why?
Sirius nibbled at his lower lip, his hold loosening and then tightening on Severus' wrists as he cherished every part of the sweet mouth he was kissing, he didn't see, but felt the extreme flush of Severus' cheeks as they kissed, the tension in the other boys body going unnoticed as he failed to struggle.
Why me?
His hand loosed from Severus' hair and slid down his side and in the front of his robes to brush smooth cool skin. Caressing a form that was soft, if not a little too skinny. His hand traveled down to his hips where he found the roughness of a scar, pausing there.
I don't understand. What's happening?
Sirius pulled back to see Snape's confused tear-filled dark eyes. He wiped the tears away with curiosity. He'd never really seen these tears, but at least in the end, he knew they were his. Just as Severus was. Snape was shaking beneath him, looking more frail than he'd ever seen him, but at the same time, more beautiful.
"Why? Why me?" murmured Snape.
"Because I want you." replied Sirius, kissing the trails where the tears had run down the pale cheeks. "All of you."
XxXxX
Erradane's mind was far from clear when she'd entered the common room, bruised wrists, sore lips, and a pain on her scalp where her hair had been tugged. She only realized it had been an hour when Snape entered, staring at her blankly with the same look on his face that she knew she'd had on hers but a minute ago- All save for the fact that Snape's eyes were far more confused than her own.
He walked past her, watching her the whole time as if she were an animal prone to pouncing and once he reached the stairway to the common rooms took off at a run. She watched where he'd gone blankly for a moment before laughing briefly.
"The path of true love never did run smooth," she murmured. "But our path is far rockier than that."
With that she got up and walked to her dorm room, wondering once again if the wounds created within the protective walls of the school could ever be healed.
