The next morning, Sirius refused to talk to James as he punched Remus, Remus felt like he was caught in the middle of the whole thing. The girls however were their usual giggling selves. Today was the day Hannah was putting her plan into action - getting Carolyn and James together.
"This is my only shot." She said, "Just lets hope he's in a good mood."
"He best be." Carolyn said, "What happened yesterday anyway?"
"He punched Remus." Lily muttered, "After I slapped him."
"You slapped him?" They asked amazed.
She nodded.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" She asked
"Dunno, can't remember." Clare answered, "Why did you slap him anyway?"
"He called me a s----!" Hannah sighed
"What?"
"Am amazed you didn't slap him." Carolyn added,
"Nah, I had Sirius sticking up for me." She smiled
"Why is he so protective of you?" Lily asked,
"He nearly lost me." Hannah responded quietly "And that's all am saying."

"Aww come on Hannah." Lily said "Why you and Sirius so secretive?"
"Because." Hannah retorted, "It's in the past and that's where it's staying!"
The girls weren't going to give up without a fight but a look from Hannah made them rethink asking at the present moment in time.

"So what's your plan?" Carolyn asked
"Dunno." She answered, "Ain't thought of one."
"What do you mean you ain't thought of one?"
"Well, I was just gonna use my charm and good looks to help me and make it up as I go along." Hannah added
The girls rolled their eyes.
"Come on." Lily said "We got some matchmaking to do."
All four girls had a slightly mad glint in their eyes. As the marauders were already in the common room and the girls greeted them. Hannah kissed Remus on the cheek and sat on his lap. Clare, Carolyn and Lily sat in chairs by the marauders. Lily wanted to kiss Sirius desperately but at this present moment was unsure where she stood with him, especially after the night before. She looked at him and smiled slightly, he returned the smile and mouthed something to her but she couldn't quite make it out. James and Peter looked slightly sickened at how loved up Remus and Hannah were.
"Oh pur-lease." Peter muttered "Since when have you two been so loved up anyway?"
Hannah simply waved her hand at him as she was too busy kissing Remus. Clare and Carolyn pretended to be sick and James made a gagging noise.

"Oh be quiet." Remus said when they broke apart. "Just because you haven't got a girlfriend Prongs! It's not my fault that I have."
"Oh please." He responded
"Jealous?" Remus loved winding James up, but then again all the marauders found fun winding each other up.
"This has got to be a record you know." Sirius added "You not having a girl start of term."
The two of them started laughing.
"Oh, ha ha ha." James muttered sarcastically.
"You coming down to breakfast or what?" Lily asked
"Alright." Sirius said "We'll follow you 4 down."
The girls left and Carolyn said to Hannah
"Will you not wind him up."
"Can't help it." She giggled
Carolyn looked like she was about to snap.
"Calm down." Clare said seeing the look on her friends' face.
She (Carolyn) took deep breaths.
"Sorry, I'm just all worked up." She apologised
"It's alright."
"Help me think of ways to get you two together then." Hannah said
"Why?" Lily asked "It's your plan!"
"I'm only doing it to help Carolyn out." She responded "Well and you eventually, but you're easy."
"How so?"
"Sirius is my brother and I know exactly what buttons to press and what strings to pull." She grinned evilly. "You four will be together by the end of next week, I guarantee."

"Well here they come now." Clare said, looking over her shoulder.

"Fine, I'll ask him now." Hannah said

She waited for the marauders to catch up and said to James

"Can I just speak with you for a minute?"

The marauders looked at her.

"It's urgent." Hannah snapped impatiently – she was hungry.

"Oh alright." He muttered

The three remaining marauders walked ahead

"What do you want?" He asked Hannah

"I want you to do me a favour." She muttered

"What's that?"

"Can you please ask Carolyn out?"

"What?"

"Please?" Hannah begged "I'll do anything for you to say yes."

"I'll do it on one of two conditions."

What are they?" Hannah asked

"Either you split up with Remus or you make sure Sirius and Lily don't go out together."

"You want me to WHAT?!" Hannah screeched

"Either you split up with Remus or you make sure Sirius and Lily don't go out together." James repeated "You do on of them and I'll ask her out."

"You want me to give up my happiness, Remus to give up his and Sirius and Lily to give up theirs?" Hannah asked in shock

"Yeah." James said this with no emotion.

"You sicken me!" Hannah yelled
