"Can I just ask you something Hannah?" Lily asked
"What?"
"When you were in hospital after what Ryan did, was it because of you and Remus?"
Hannah looked slightly taken aback at what she had just said, she had been looking at her feet but her head had shot up. It had been the first time in years that anyone had mentioned it.
"Yeah." She whispered, "He'd found a picture of Remus and me and we were kissing, it was a Muggle picture so it wasn't as if it moved."
"And he freaked?" Clare asked
She nodded.
"All the scars are because of him and his jealousy." She added, "Remus was the only one who knew, the only one who's ever known."
"I'm sorry." Lily whispered, "For everything."
"You don't need to." Hannah said, "You mean well when you say things."
"It's only because I care and I don't want you getting hurt."
Lily said pulling her into a hug, and stood that way for a while until Clare and Carolyn shouted,
"Ay ay what about us" and "Group hug"
After a long group hug the girls let go of each other then Carolyn started laughing.
"Alright spill," Commanded the other three.
"I was just remembering the time the guys hugged in front of us and they were totally awkward afterwards," She giggled. This time they all joined in until Rachel came dashing into the room, completely surprising the four girls. Especially since she wasn't even in their house.
"What the hell you doing in here?" Hannah asked, "No offence like."
"Was chatting to James -."
"Snogging the face of him more like." Carolyn cut in.
"And he said you were up here "Sorting out differences"." She continued, "Something about secrets."
"Yeah." Hannah said, "That would be about right."
"What secrets?" She asked smiling
"You already know about one." Hannah responded, "Well, two."
"Wait, she knew about you and Remus?" They asked
Hannah nodded
"If you'd have seen anymore then you would have seen her doing her nut 'cause she found us together."
"And here's us thinking that you kept this all to yourself."
"Anyways, Sirius and James have been shouting you for the past ten minutes, hence the reason I'm up here."
"Who exactly?"
"Have no clue, but probably Lily." Rachel answered, "But I think they want Hannah as well because they have something to show her."
Looked slightly bemused the tow of them left and Clare and Carolyn looked at her wondering what she meant.
"It's more of a person they want her to see."
"Who?"
"Who do you think?"
"Oh."
"Hey gorgeous." Sirius smiled, and kissed Lily.
"What did you want us for?" Lily asked after a few moments
"Do I need a reason to want to see you?" Sirius asked, puppy-dog look written all over his face.
"She doesn't, but I do." Hannah said
"Oh, you're wanted upstairs in our dorm."
"Right." Hannah said and left.
Sirius turned his attention back to Lily, a hand cupping the side of her face, kissing her gently on the lips.
"So exactly what were you doing up there anyway?"
"That's none of your business." She giggled, "Now why did you want me? I was having fun!"
Sirius pretended to look hurt
"Nice to know I'm loved!" He whimpered, "I only wanted to spend some time with you."
"Oh come here." Lily said, rolling her eyes and planted a soft kiss on his forehead.
"What's wrong with wanting to spend some time with my girlfriend anyway?"
"Nothing." Lily grinned, "But I was having fun! And you never told me you went out with Clare!"
Sirius' mouth dropped slightly
"How do you know that?"
Lily tapped the side of her nose
"Now that would be telling."
Sirius suddenly sprouted a grin and wrapped his arms around her, he tickled her gently at first but he gradually tickled her more and more and Lily's squeals could be heard throughout the Gryffindor tower.
"Shut up" Rachel, Carolyn, and Clare screamed. Lily and Sirius stood shocked still in an awkward position till they fell on the couch laughing quietly to each other.
"You can hear the two of you in our dorm with the door shut!" Clare added, looking rather annoyed
"Sorry." Lily smiled guiltily
"What's the date today?" Carolyn asked
"23rd."
"Dammit we still got 8 days left till Halloween." She muttered and sulked slightly
"I think we best leave them two alone." Clare added, puling Carolyn in the direction of the girl's dormitory.
"And I'm going to go find James!"
After the three of them had gone, Lily turned to Sirius and said
"Talking about Halloween, what you going as?"
"What do you mean?"
"What are you dressing up as?" Lily asked, "And don't say your not because you have to!"
"I don't know!" Sirius muttered defensively, "What about you?"
"You'll just have to wait and see." Lily grinned evilly
"Awww come on Lily." Sirius whimpered
"No!" She said, folding her arms
"Do I have to drag you up to the boy's dorm and get it out of you?" He asked
"You can't." Lily pointed out, "Hannah and Remus are up there."
"Hey, it's my dorm as well!" and he picked Lily up by the waist as carried her up the stairs and into the dormitory. Filled with silence.
"Thought they were in here." Lily said
"Remus must have gone to sleep." Sirius responded, "I'll just check."
Before Sirius could even reach the bed, Lily said
"Is that wise? After what happened last time."
Sirius pulled back the curtain anyway and turned to Lily and grinned
"Told ya!"
"Looks like they both needed to catch up on sleep though." Lily pointed out, "Either that or Hannah's no longer one of the few girls in the year anymore."
Sirius looked at her extremely confused.
"It's too much for your little brain to handle."
"My brain is not small!" Sirius sniffed, sounding very defensive
"Come on, you don't want to wake them up do you?"
"Yeah actually because it's time for Dinner soon!"
"It's after 5 o'clock."
"Exactly!"
Sirius muttered something under his breath and with a flick of his wand something appeared that looked extraordinarily like a megaphone.
"Earth to people!" He shouted, "WAKE UP!"
Both Remus and Hannah woke with a start and Hannah hurled her boot at Sirius' head, which missed by a few centimetres.
"Can't a girl have some peace?"
"Not in my dorm you can't!" Sirius teased
"That was a bit harsh Sirius." Lily said
"I know, but they had to be woken up."
"Why?" Remus asked
"Food."
"Does your life revolve around food and pranks?" He asked
"And Lily!" Sirius added, "You can't forget Lily! But yeah probably."
"One of the only one's still then Han." Lily said
Hannah just started at her, as she knew exactly what she meant.
"I ain't so quick to throw it away Lil, not like you, Caz and Clazza."
"That don't go with who you are Hannah, no offence."
"Come on." Sirius said, "I'm hungry!"
"Time is it?"
"Time to eat!"
"It's about 5:30."
"Damn, I gotta do that essay!" Hannah muttered
"You haven't done it yet?" Sirius asked, "I did mine on Thursday!"
"You mean I did!" Lily retorted
"I'm going for something to eat." Sirius said, "Anyone else coming?"
"I will before you complain anymore." Lily answered
"We'll be down later."
Lily and Sirius left the Common room and headed for the Great Hall and Lily turned to Sirius and said teasingly
"You really do think about food a lot though don't you?"
