"Let Remus and I wake them, we don't want everyone to walk in and find them like this...It's potentially embarrassing." Jessica smiled genuinely and Remus nodded in agreement.
Both crept up to the sleeping teenagers and smiled to themselves. After so long, the wait was over; James and Lily had finally figured it out.
"Hey sleepy heads, time to get up." Jessica said softly.
"Come on, you two... More people will be here any minute." Remus tapped James on the shoulder, causing the raven haired boy to stir.
Slowly, Lily opened her eyes as well. Her eyes darted around, and the color rose in her face, turning her a bright shade of pink.
"Hey guys, where's Padfoot?" James asked casually.
---------------------
"So it was just like that? What'd they talk about to create such a dramatic change?" Harry was shocked.
"We don't know... They never really told us." Remus said, cracking a small smile.
"All we do know is that after that night, they were practically inseparable." Angel smiled as well, remembering her friends.
"What happened next? How did everyone else react? What went on with Sirius and Angela, and---"
"Whoa, slow down there, slick," Jessica laughed, "Let us answer all of these burning questions in due time. You can't really rush these things now."
"Okay...Sorry." Harry said sheepishly. The adults smirked.
"Now," Remus started, stretching his arms out wide, "Sirius and Angela. I think that we should elaborate on them and Ange's--er--social group."
"Okay." Angel and Jessica nodded.
----------------
"Why do you hang out with them, Padfoot? it's not like we mind Angela." James said one morning two weeks into November. Sirius had once again blown off the other three boys to hang out with Angela and her Slytherin friends.
"I don't really spend any time with her friends Prongs, you should know that I don't. I am just with Angela..." Sirius yawned.
"Bull. Padfoot, you almost forgot about going to the shack this month because you were showing off to Jessica's sister and that Sapphire girl! Now what would you call that?" James said, feeling irritation mount into anger.
"Ah, Prongs, just come off it! So what if I am around her friends? It doesn't change anything." Sirius grumbled, fumbling for his uniform.
"I wouldn't know Sirius, would it?" James replied seriously, fully dressed now, and adjusting his tie in a mirror by the door.
"Don't go there, James. You know that I will never want anything to do with any sort of dark magic." Sirius growled.
"Whatever, Sirius..." James left the room cooly, further angering his best friend.
"Why is James so moody today? One would think that he'd still be feeling blissful even two weeks after you agreed to go steady." Angel said, mockingly swooning over the thought later that morning as she met Lily and Jessica on their way to Charms.
"Oh, Sirius blew him off the other night and we caught him near the dungeons during patrols. He didn't look tousled enough to have spent the whole night alone with your sister, so he and James--er--exchanged words. Remus said that were bickering this morning too, so they'll both be a bit grumpy today." Lily replied, sighing heavily.
"You know...James' anger is completely uncalled for. Sirius never hangs out around us. He's telling the truth." said a silky voice from behind the three Gryffindor girls.
Lily, Jessica, and Angel spun around to see two seventh year Slytherins.
"Jessalynn, Sapphire." Jessica said shortly in acknowledgement.
"Oh, look Sapphire, my sister is trying to act civil in front of her perfect little pals!" Jessalynn said in the same silky voice, but this time it was dripping with sarcasm.
"Really cute, Lynn...Did you just tell us that to get some attention, or is it the truth for once?" Jessica spat.
"Oh, well, which part? The fact that dear Mr. Black feels he's to good to associate with even his own blood, or the other fact that you are a little fake?" Jessalynn shot back, glaring at her sister as if daring her to try another remark.
"The former." Jessica said, gripping her want tightly from inside her robes.
"It's true," the other girl named Sapphire said, "Sirius Black has openly admitted to us that he wants nothing to do with any one besides Angela...the great prat."
Sapphire smirked arrogantly. She had shiny shoulder-length chestnut colored hair and eyes to match. They glittered with haughty mirth.
"Really? So why does that bother you then?" Lily asked, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
Jessalynn's eyes narrowed, "We can't help the simple truth that he's an attractive pureblood who happens to belong to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black."
"And yet his family doesn't even recognize him as their blood. You'd have a better chance winning over his house elf." Lily said, still restraining her smile.
"Let's go, Saph. If people see us with this goody two-shoes mudblood, they might talk." Jessalynn sniggered as Lily's ears turned pink and Jessica's eyes narrowed on her sister dangerously.
Laughing, Jessalynn and Sapphire pushed the girls out of their way and continued on to class.
"Lily, I'm so sorry. My sister is such a rotten seed! She's just jealous---She's got a crush on James as well as Sirius." Jessica apologized.
"It's okay...I'm used to comments like that by now. Let's go, we're gonna be late and I want to tell James about what they said." Lily said, brushing off Jessalynn's harsh words.
However, a grin had broken out on Angel's face. Walking along, she explained to the other two what she had in mind.
"Well, if there's one thing I know about my sister is that she is horribly jealous. All I have to do is merely mention to her that Lynn fancies her man, and...Well, you get the idea."
Both Lily and Jessica grinned in approval.
"James, I have to talk to you," Lily hissed, barely on time for class, "It's about Sirius!"
James nodded stiffly, still in an obviously bad mood.
----------------
"My dad was still mad?" Harry was stunned, "They were best friends!"
"Harry, haven't you and Ron ever gotten into a fight before?" Remus stated simply.
"Well, yeah...Nevermind...But one more thing?"
"Hmm?"
"Who's Sapphire? And what happened to Jessalynn?" Harry inquired.
"Sapphire was one of Jessalynn's best friends. I fought her myself several times during the first war. Very skilled witch, but she was too arrogant for her own good. She had a twin as well as Angel and I. Marissa is her name. Anyway, Marissa was the one who stopped Sapphire for good just before the attack on Godric's Hollow." Jessica said matter-of-factly.
"The poor girl didn't know who it was though until she said the final curse. Couldn't handle that...She's still in St. Mungo's closed ward." Remus added grimly.
"Oh..." Harry didn't know what to say.
"As for what happened to my sister, I have her locked away in a secure place. Azkaban is too good for her." Jessica spat venomously.
"Jess, it's okay. You deserve to be angry," Angel consoled her friend, "Jessalynn was on of the ones who killed her fiance." Angel continued before harry could ask why Jessica was suddenly so angry.
"That's horrible..." Harry felt guilty for bringing up the subject.
"Ah, Gideon...Outstanding courage, right up until the end." Remus reminisced sadly.
"Wait, Gideon---Gideon Prewett? Didn't it take five Death Eaters to take him and his brother down?" the three adults nodded, "Mad-Eye showed me a picture of him once...He told me about it...I'm so sorry."
"No, don't be Harry. It was a long time ago, and you didn't know...Well, we sould get on with things shouldn't we?" Jessica quickly changed the subject.
"Sure." Harry replied simply, feeling guilt wash over him as he caught the look of sorrow flashing across his Godmother's crystal blue eyes.
