Disclaimer: NOT MINE. K? ^__^

A/n: No one got the quote! I had two guesses, and they were very good. The quote was from the scene where Jack has just saved Elizabeth from drowning, and sees her medallion. Ringing any bells? The actual line is 'Where did you get that?' It sticks out in my head because…. I dunno…. Probably coz I've seen the movie so many times…. ^__~

Chapter Five

So, it goes on this way for awhile, and Ginny starts to catch up in her classes, not without Sirius's help, of course. She hangs out with the Marauders a lot, but only stays because of Sirius. James thinks it's odd that Sirius wants her hanging around as much as she does. He asks Sirius about this one day out on the lawn by the lake, when Peter and Remus were at other places.

"So, what's with you keeping Ginny around? You don't like her, do you? I thought you said that you'd never settle to one girl." He says, accusingly.

Sirius meets James eyes and doesn't say anything.

"Well?"

Sirius lays back on the grass and looks up at the sky. "I don't know. She's different. She's easy to talk to and not as giggly as some of those girls that Evans hangs around with. Speaking of Evans, what's going on with you two? Is she able to tolerate you yet?" He grins, knowing he's touched a soft subject.

"Shut up. And quit changing the subject. We were talking about you, my dear friend."

Remus and Peter walk up.

Remus sits down. "We've been looking for you guys."

Peter is grinning. Sirius takes one look at him and then looks away. "You know what? I'm not going to ask."

"Look what I got, James!" He waves his hand around excitedly.

Sirius rolls his eyes. "I'm really not going to ask…."

Peter throws it at James, who catches it because of his quick reflexes. "Hey! It's that Snitch I was playing with last year. Cool!"

"Fun…" Sirius says. He notices that the girls are sitting on the other side of the lake. He elbows James. "Hey, what do you say we eavesdrop? They won't notice, they don't see us now."

James grins. "Alright."

***meanwhile, on the other side of the lake***

Ginny is sitting around with Lily and her friends. She smiles and leans back on the grass. They're talking about guys. She likes Lily a lot, she's very sweet, but her friends are too giggly. And, of course, she doesn't know many of the people they're talking about. She could give them stories about their children, though.

A girl that looks somewhat like Cho Chang says, "So, who do you like, Lily?"

Lily blushes. Quickly, she replies, "No one."

"You're lying! I know you like James…."

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Well, maybe a little. But, if you tell him, I'll… well, don't tell him."

"We won't. Doesn't it feel good to tell someone though?"

"Yeah…" Ginny smiles. "So… Ginny… you must like someone by now. We're two months in now. Who is he? Frank Longbottom, maybe? Or Amos Diggory?

"Nope. I'm disinclined to interact with the male species." This was her answer back after she got over Harry, and then Michael, and finally, Dean.

"That's not true. I've seen you talking to Sirius Black quite a bit lately."

"He's helping me out with my school work. This year's a lot harder than I expected."

"Sure…"

"Plus…" Ginny says, relaxed. "Every girl in their right mind likes him, a little, right? He can have his pick from the supermodels of the school. That's not me, either." She starts pulling grass up from the ground.

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

The Marauders are in a good spot to hear the girls now. Close enough to see them, but the girls wouldn't be able to find them easily.

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

Lily sits up. "You do like him, don't you?" She grins, almost evilly. "I think we need to play match-maker, girls."

Ginny sits up, too. She's frowning. "No, unless you want me to defenestrate you."

"…Defenestrate?"

"To throw out a window." She stands up. "Well, I'm off to the library. See you all later." She walks off.

"Well, this should be fun." Lily says, more to herself than anyone else. She smiles.

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

Sirius stands up. "I'm going to follow Gin."

"You stalking her or something?"

For a reply, Sirius kicks him in the head.
