The morning brought an uneasy silence to the breakfast table. Lily and James just looked at their food and ate in silence. Remus, who had missed the whole explanation last night, was trying to make casual talk. Sirius and Kerri just sat and stared at Lily and James.

"What?" snapped Lily, feeling the eyes on her.

"I'm sorry!" said Kerri, jumping back in her chair. The chair fell backwards and there was a smack.

"Kerri!"

They all crowded around her. Sirius and James lifted her up. Her eyes were closed.

"Let's take her to her room," said Remus, quietly.

"Her room?" asked Sirius.

"I thought she said that she had a room to herself." Said Lily, staring at Sirius.

"Umm…yeah, about that," he said, running a hand through his hair, "She didn't want to be alone in a strange house for the first few nights sooo we kinda…shared,"

"Please tell me you had separate beds," hissed Lily.

"Umm…room malfunctions?"

"Sirius!" shouted Lily. Then she felt a hand cover her mouth.

"No more of that!" smirked James, seemingly pleased with his position of control. Lily wriggled out of his grasp and went to Kerkera. The thoughts running round her head were driving her crazy.

"Remus," she said sharply, "You come with me, you're the brains around here. Lets get Kerri upstairs before anything else happens to her,"

And with that the pair carried the unconscious Kerkera out of the room. Lily couldn't stand the thought of Kerri being cared for by Black. Lily was meant to be Kerri's only friend, that was what made her important. And James, urgh, he was an idiot. A stupid, pighanded, jerk. With that horrid scruffy hairstyle and those hazel eyes that made every girl swoon and-No! Shouted Lily to herself; James is a stupid berk, with a nicely toned chest and-NO! Lily smacked herself around the head. Remus stared at her.

"Umm…moth" Lily stuttered. Time to revert to Sirius, she thought. "Damn you Moth!" she said in a low voice, shaking her fist.

"Riiiiiight," said Remus, hoisting Kerri up for better grip.

Downstairs, Sirius and James stared at each other from across the table.

"Ahh," sighed Sirius, leaning back in his chair, spinning his knife between his hands.

"Don't do that," moaned James, "What if you slip? I ain't carrying you up them stairs."

"Jamsie, I didn't know you cared," Sirius cooed, setting the chair back on the ground. After a few minutes of silence, Sirius started again, with an odd sound of seriousness in his voice, "She likes you, you know."

"Who?" asked James, not really listing.

"Lily! God James, keep with the times man!"

"Oh shut up!" groaned James. He had hardly slept. The pain that the day before had left with him and meant an uneven sleep pattern. "I'm not cut out for this crap."

"Ah come on mate!" smiled Sirius, putting an arm around his shattered friend, "You can still get the girl! Your James Potter! Prince of the school! Only second to me!" he laughed, playfully punching James' arm.

"Yeah right!" laughed James, hitting back. "Trust me Paddy, I have had a lot more girls than you!"

"But who's had the more action?" Laughed Sirius.

"Right," said James, standing up, "Come here you-,"

Sirius ran and James followed. They circled around the settees and armchairs in the lounge and out into the garden. Finally, James managed to give Sirius a noogie. He got off lightly.

"You really want her?" asked Sirius, when they had finally slumped under a tree and caught back their breath.

Silence.

"James?"

"I…I think I…never mind," he said, turning his back on Sirius.

"No one can ignore me for long James," smiled Sirius. James stayed quiet. He wasn't in the mood.

"James," sighed Sirius, putting his arm back around his shoulder, "You gotta tell her."

"What? That I love her? That I wanna spend the rest of my life with her? Start a family? No way, she'd think I was spinning her a lie." He sighed throwing himself onto the floor.

"Would you?"

"Hu?"

"Would you be lying?" said Sirius, who was looking at the sky, "She couldn't excuse you of lying if you weren't."

"But I can't just go up to her and say it can I?"

"Maybe…maybe you need the right moment."

James sat up and looked at Sirius. There was that look he always got when he was devising a scheme in his eye.

"What are you thinking?" asked James.

"Oh now I can't tell you that," smirked Sirius. "You just wait mon frere."
