Chapter 1: Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun

A/N I'm finally back with the second book and sequel to From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts. Hooray. I know you all have been waiting for this, so I hope it doesn't disappoint. This title came from TheHardworkingRavenclaw7 on . I really appreciate the title idea. It was so good that I decided to use it. To those others that suggested titles, I really do appreciate your suggestions, and I might just use your titles later. I plan to write more than just 2 books/stories to this lovely series that I am not creating. Not sure what I want the series name to be, so if anyone has any suggestions for that, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have a little surprise of sorts for you at the end of this chapter, so be sure to read the notes at the end too. Enjoy the beginning of the sequel.

Previously:

As Jasmine got on the train, she was excited for the summer, but also worried about what was to come. After seeing Peter hanging around the bad crowd in Slytherin, she didn't know what to think anymore. All Jasmine knew was that her final year at Hogwarts was sure to be an interesting one if not a dangerous one as well.

The summer of 1977 that Jasmine had spent with Lily wasn't as fun as some other summers had been. There had been more news about this dark wizard, who Jasmine still didn't know much about. All she really knew for sure was that he was spreading fear and chaos with his group of followers. Jasmine also heard that they were targeting a lot of Muggles and Muggle-borns, which especially worried the girl as she didn't want anything to happen to her aunt and uncle while her and Lily were at Hogwarts. Jaz also worried about Lily, but she knew her cousin could take care of herself. So, for a lot of the summer, Jaz was worrying about what ifs and other scenarios that could happen.

When the girl wasn't worrying, she was either doing the work she had to do over the summer, or she was writing responses to the Marauders' letters she had been continually getting over the summer. Most of the letters were from Sirius telling her how much he missed her and how the motorcycle was coming. He told her that once he finished the motorcycle that she would have to come over and they would take a ride. Plus, he knew he would need her help with trying to make it fly. There were also a number of letters from James, who told her about how his summer with Sirius was going. He would also occasionally ask how Lily was, to which Jaz always rolled her eyes at. She still couldn't believe they still weren't together sometimes. There were also a few letters that came from Remus. They mostly asked how she was and how her summer was going.

Each of the three boys also sent her birthday presents to her. Remus got her a copy of one of her favorite books. James got her some of her favorite candies, some prank supplies, and a new charm for her musical charm bracelet. Sirius, being the boyfriend that he was, got her a lovely new necklace that matched her charm bracelet. It was a simple necklace with a musical note. It was just Jasmine's style and she loved it, which is what she wrote to Sirius upon receiving it.

The only other interesting thing that happened over the summer was when Lily and Jasmine go their Hogwarts letters. Lily, who had been a prefect for 2 years now, was hoping to be Head Girl this year. The scream that came out of said girl's mouth when she saw the Head Girl's badge almost deafened Jaz. Luckily, she recovered, but Jaz was almost deafened again when she saw that Jasmine had gotten a badge as well. It was a prefect badge, which Jaz meant that she would be the other Gryffindor prefect alongside Remus since Lily would now be Head Girl. Once Jaz's hearing was back to normal, Lily talked Jasmine's ear off about her excitement and her thoughts about who the Head Boy to her Head Girl would be.

The next day Jaz got a letter from James asking her if Lily got the Head Girl badge that he knew she wanted. That didn't entirely surprise her as Jaz suspected that James and Sirius had also gotten their letters from Hogwarts. Though, Jasmine was suspicious about his reasoning for telling her, so she asked him about it after telling him that Lily did indeed make Head Girl. The response that Jasmine got made her really glad that Lily wasn't in the room at the time because when she read that James was going to be Head Boy next to Lily's Head Girl, she didn't know how to react. Jasmine was of course happy for James, but she was seriously confused how he managed it. He had cleaned up his act a lot in the past year and was much more mature now, so Jasmine reasoned that he would be a good Head Boy. Though, she wasn't sure how Lily was going to react to the news. Jaz was about to go and tell her, but before she did, she read the rest of the letter James had sent. Then, instead of telling Lily the news, Jasmine threw the letter into the fire and watched it burn until it was nothing but ash. The girl was not happy keeping another secret from her cousin, but at least it wouldn't be a secret for much longer.

By the end of the summer, Jasmine realized that there was one Marauder that she hadn't heard from all summer, Peter. He didn't even get her some chocolates or something for her birthday that he would normally sent. And when Jaz realized he hadn't sent her a single letter, she was filled with dread. She still hadn't told anyone what she had saw at the end of last school year. She wasn't even sure if she wanted to. She had no idea if what she even saw was relevant or if it even meant anything. The only thing Jasmine was sure about was that she would be trying to keep a closer eye on one Peter Pettigrew this school year, and that it was sure to be an interesting 7th year for her and her friends.

So, by the end of the summer, Jasmine had two secrets: one that she was just keeping from her cousin and one that she was keeping from everyone. The second one she would only keep a secret until she knew for sure what she saw wasn't just a fluke or something.

Jasmine was right to think her school year would be an interesting and chaotic one. Not only did she think this because of Peter, but also because James and Lily were going to be Head Boy and Head Girl. She just knew that would lead to a bunch of unnecessary chaos and had to question Dumbledore's sanity after hearing the news. Though once she got over the insanity of it all, she realized this would give the two the opportunity to get to know each other better so that James could earn Lily's love.

The craziness of their 7th year began when the two girls happened to "run" into the Marauders. Lily's parents had been helping them put their trunks on the train when someone came up behind Jasmine and gave her a hug. They then planted a kiss on her cheek before allowing the girl to turn around.

Upon seeing her boyfriend, Jaz pulled Sirius into a hug. In his ear she whispered, "I really want to snog you right now, but my aunt and uncle are watching us."

Sirius turned bright red upon hearing about her aunt and uncle. Still hugging Jaz, he turned his head slightly to find two adults, who looked like Lily, watching them. He turned even redder and turned away when they noticed him looking at him. He really wishes that he had seen the two adults earlier, and soon broke the hug with Jaz in order to prevent any more glaring directed toward him from Jaz's uncle.

After greeting each other, Jasmine introduced Sirius to her aunt and uncle. "Auntie, Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Sirius Black. Sirius, this is my aunt and uncle, or Lily's parents."

Sirius gave them a charming smile thankful the blush had faded. "It's nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Evans." Sirius held out a hand and shook hands with Jaz's uncle. He went to do the same with her aunt, but instead go pulled into a hug he was not expecting but still hugged back. It was a nice hug that Sirius really appreciated.

Soon after introductions were made, Jasmine pulls Sirius to the side and quietly asks in the boy's ear, "So, where is the new Head Boy? I can't imagine he would be all that far behind you."

Before Sirius could answer though, who should appear, none other than the Head Boy himself, one James Potter. Of course, he made a dramatic entrance and strutted over to the group. He had to show off his new badge after all. Jasmine rolled her eyes at the boy's antics. "Well, I was about to say he was right behind me, but you know, actually, there he is." Sirius pointed to James as he approached them. Jaz laughed. This was the kind of school year she expected to have or at least the one she hoped to have. She would learn in a few minutes it wouldn't be, but she could always hope, right?

It wasn't long before James finally reached where the group was standing. By now both girls' trunks had been loaded onto the train. The girls were just about to say goodbye to the adults when James greeted them. "Hello all. Lovely to see you all again."

"I literally just saw you, Prongs. We came here together." Sirius rolled his eyes. Sometimes he just couldn't believe his best friend, but really, he was not better.

James ignored him and walked straight up to Lily. "Hey, Lily-pad. You ready to head to the prefects' compartment?"

Lily stared at him with a blank expression. She wasn't sure what he meant. Of course, she was ready to head to the prefects' compartment. It was the whole reason they were at the train station earlier than usual. She was Head Girl, so of course she had to be their early or at least before the prefects got there. She needed to in the compartment in order to prepare with the Head Boy whoever he was. She still had not figured out who it could be, but she really hoped it wasn't one of the 7th year Slytherin prefects. Lily didn't think she could control herself enough to be civil enough to work with them so closely. Ever since Lily stopped hanging out with Severus, it seemed the Slytherins, especially him and his friends, got even worse. So, Lily really hoped it was someone else who was Head Boy. She really would have wanted it to be Remus, but she knew that was likely not to happen because of his furry little problem. Therefore, Lily could only hope that it was someone else who would be the Head Boy. So, really, Lily didn't know how else to respond to James' question other than, "Of course I'm ready to go."

"Well, then let's go. We better get a move on if we want to get there before the prefects." James grabbed the redhead's hand to pull her onto the train. Lily was too surprised to stop him, but she managed to get a hold of her enough to wave goodbye to her parents as she was dragged to the front of the train by James Potter.

Jaz laughed as she watched her cousin get pulled away from her. "Well, that was interesting, wasn't it Pads."

"It sure was, Mare. I can't believe she still hadn't figured it out. I wish we could be there for when that happens. The look on her face is going to be priceless. We are going to have to have Remus tell us about it or something, right Mare?" Sirius turned to look at his girlfriend, who was turned away from him as she was getting on the train. He followed her on the train and was about to ask the question again as she was waving goodbye to her aunt and uncle, but she stopped him.

With a somewhat guilty look on her face, Jaz broke the news to Sirius. "Actually, Pads, it will just be you who doesn't see the reaction." She straightens out the robes she already had one and shows him her new prefect badge. "I got prefect as to replace Lily since she made Head Girl."

Sirius gaped at her. "Mare! Why didn't you tell me? That's awesome. I'm so happy for you." He pulled her into a hug. "You deserve that so much. You will be a great prefect." He gave her a kiss on the cheek which only made Jasmine plush a deep shade of red. She still wasn't used to the many compliments Sirius would give her. They always made her feel so much better about herself, so much better than she sometimes thought she deserved to feel about herself. Although, she was thinking that less and less since her and Sirius had gotten together. Sirius added, "Oh, and there is no way that I am missing their reaction now. I'll just walk you to the compartment so I can see their reactions. I can't miss it."

"Thanks, Pads! I'm so happy you're not upset I am leaving you for the train ride. I hate that you are just going to have Peter for company, but maybe they won't give me patrol duty since it's James and Lily. They are like brother and sister to me, so maybe they will give me a break. Also, I would love for you to join me. I wouldn't want you to miss out on their reactions."

"True, but I doubt Lily would do that. Plus, ever since James got that Head Boy badge, he has been a lot more responsible, I guess. I don't know he hasn't been as arrogant and immature as he usually is. Although that could be because of the war as well, but who knows."

Jasmine was afraid of this war, but hopefully they would be safe within the walls of Hogwarts. Though she just wished she could do something to help now. But for now, Jaz pushed all those thoughts out of her head and continued walking toward the front of the train with Sirius. "Seriously?"

"No not Siriusly, it was more Jamesly." Sirius grinned back at the girl.

Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Really? How long have you been waiting to make a joke like that?"

"So, freakin' long. I can't even begin to tell you, Mare."

Another eye roll came from the redhead beside him. She didn't say anything, but she did grab his hand as they continued to the front of the train. For the rest of their trip, they talked about their summer holidays. They told each other what they did, which wasn't much as Sirius mostly worked on his motorcycle and Jasmine didn't really do anything all that exciting. Sirius made sure to compliment the necklace she was wearing, which Jasmine rolled her eyes at, but still gave him a kiss on the cheek for.

They had just entered the first train car when a thought occurred to Sirius. "Hey, wait a minute." He stopped, and subsequently so did Jasmine since they were still holding hands. She turned and looked at him. "Dumbledore is the one who picks out the Head Boy and Head Girl, so why the hell did he pick James to be Head Boy. Sure, he has matured, and he was much more mature last year than in previous years, but it wasn't enough to warrant him getting Head Boy this year. See, it makes sense for Lily to get Head Girl, but James as Head Boy, how they hell did Dumbledore choose that one?"

Jasmine thought about it and she wasn't sure either, but a crazy thought occurred to her. "What if he wants James and Lily to get together as much as we do? Wouldn't that be hilarious?!"

Sirius bursts out laughing and is soon joined by Jasmine. They continue to laugh for several minutes until they hear arguing in the first compartment. They soon sober up and rush to the compartment, but not before Sirius get the chance to tell Jaz, "Oh my god, that would be amazing."

Upon reaching the prefects' compartment the couple found the Head Boy and Girl arguing with each other. They were being so loud that you could here them outside of the compartment.

The first thing that Sirius and Jasmine heard was Lily yelling, "Get out of here, James! This is the prefects' compartment and you're not a prefect, James."

The retort from James was a bit calmer and quieter. "Well, Lily-pad. if you would let me explain, then you would realize I do belong in here."

"what could you possibly say to explain your being here, James?" Lily said, exasperated. she couldn't found them any possible reason for why James could possibly belong in the prefects' compartment. There was no way that Dumbledore suddenly made him prefect like he did Jasmine. James just wasn't cut out to be a prefect, but boy was Lily in for an even bigger surprise.

As James was about to answer Lily's question, Sirius and Jasmine burst into the compartment. There was no way they were going to miss Lily's reaction to what James was about to say. so, when Jasmine and Sirius came into the compartment they were a bit too loud, and therefore stop James from whatever he was about to say as he turned to the compartment entrance. But James didn't see it was serious and Jasmine at 1st and started to introduce himself as the head boy. Which is when all hell broke loose and serious and Jasmine got to see Lily reaction once and for all.

The first thing that happened after James is introduction was Lily screeching at James, "WHAT!" Nothing else could be heard over Lily screeching. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE HEAD BOY? THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS TRUE."

James stared at the girls screeching at him and merely pointed to the head boy badge that was proudly displayed on the front of his robes. Upon seeing the badge Lily stop screeching and was stunned into silence. She didn't know what else to say because she was so sure James was just tricking her. She just couldn't believe that Dumbledore had made James head boy alongside her.

While Jily had their moment of shock (or at least while Lily did), Sazzy was still standing in at the entrance of the now closed compartment. Jasmine whispered to Sirius "I'm so glad we didn't miss this."

Sirius gleefully whispered back his agreement. "Me too! I'm so glad you let me tag along. This was definitely something we didn't want to miss. I can't wait to see Remus' reaction to the news."

"Wait, you never told Remus that James was head boy?" Jasmine asked surprised.

"Nope. James thought it would be best for him to see it for himself rather than read it in a letter from James. We both doubted he would believe it anyway."

Jasmine couldn't help but agree. The only reason she believed James was because it was probably the only explanation for why he would want to know if Lily was head girl. Jasmine was just as surprised by the news as anyone would have been because it was so unlikely and yet it happened. "I think I can convince them to let you stay until Remus gets here so that you can see his reaction too."

Sirius Smirked at his girlfriend. That would be an amazing feat if you could. Otherwise, I will just wait outside of the compartment for Remus to show up before reentering silently to see his reaction. After that, I think I might just wait for you guys to get out of the meeting. It would be kind of pointless to walk all the way to our usual compartment when it is just going to be Peter in there. I feel like that would be kind of boring. Don't get me wrong, I like hanging out with Peter, but sometimes I just get the feeling that he doesn't wan to hang out with us."

Jasmine chuckled nervously. This would be a perfect opening for her to mention to Sirius what she saw at the end of last school year. But instead, she reminded herself that it might have just been a fluke and what she saw actually could have been Peter getting picked on or something by the Slytherins. So, Jaz stayed quiet about Peter and instead told Sirius, "That sounds like a great idea. It would be pretty pointless to go hang out with Peter when you could totally hang out with your girlfriend during her rounds of the train."

"Are you making fun of me? Just because I want to spend more time with you…"

"What?"

"I'm not actually sure where I was going with that. Anyway, I missed you over the summer. So, what if I want to spend more time with you. I love you, Mare."

"Wait! What? Did he just say that he loves me? Do I love him? Of course, I love him! Then why aren't I saying it back" Jasmine thought. She was in shock. She was sure that Sirius had never said those three words to her before. And she really wanted to say them back, but that would be such a big step. Also, how could he love her with how broken she was.

Before any more negative thoughts wiggled their way into Jasmine's head, Sirius told her, "Jaz, don't you dare tell yourself that you don't deserve my love because you do. You deserve so much of it, Jaz, and I won't let you deny that you deserve it. And you don't even need to say it back to me because…"

He never got to give his reason because Jasmine had pulled him down into a kiss that shortly turned into a snog session. Their kissing was interrupted by the Head Boy and Girl who coughed to get their attention. *Ahem*

The couple broke apart but didn't look over at the Heads to see what they wanted. Instead, they rested their heads on each other's foreheads. Then Jasmine said quietly, but loud enough for Sirius to hear, "I love you too, Pads. More than you know." They would have kissed again if not for the other two people in the compartment. So rather they looked over to the other two occupants to see what they wanted from them.

"How may we help you?" Jasmine teased.

Lily rolled her eyes. "You can help us by getting out. Apparently James and I have a few things to discuss here, and we would like to do that in privacy before the rest of the prefects arrive." Lily said this as she shoved the couple out of the compartment with the help of James.

Sadly, the head boy and girl were talking much quieter now, so the two outside of the compartment could not hear what they were talking about. So, they decided they would just stand outside and wait. In the meantime, they would make up for lost time, if you know what they mean.

Meanwhile in the compartment, Lily was still reeling from the news of James being the head boy alongside her as the head girl. She still couldn't believe it. "If it makes you feel better, it surprised me when I first got the badge as well. I wasn't really expecting head boy. Actually, I was rather expecting it to be quidditch captain."

Lily stared at him waiting for him to brag that he had gotten quidditch captain again. It never came, and that surprised her even more than the head boy thing had originally. For all the time that she had known James Potter, he almost never turned down a chance to brag about his accomplishments. It was strange to see him turn down the chance because she knew it wasn't because he didn't get quidditch captain. She knew very well that he had gotten it, especially since he was quidditch captain last year. There was no reason that he wouldn't by quidditch captain, unless Dumbledore thought it would be too much for the boy being head boy and quidditch captain. Lily doubted it though. She rather thought that he actually belonged on the quidditch field. He was rather good at quidditch and had even helped get Gryffindor a quidditch cup at least once during his time on the team. She wasn't that big of a quidditch fan, but from what she had heard and the after parties she went to, Lily knew that James wasn't a terrible quidditch player. Therefore, given how much Lily knew that he liked to brag, she was really surprised that he wasn't bragging about getting 2 badges or something. Seeing this side of James, actually, made Lily think that James might actually deserve that Head Boy badge. She was really thinking more that James might just be able to earn her affections. James Potter might just have a chance of getting her to say yes to a date with him the next time he asked if he kept this up. She already liked him but seeing this part of him made her thing that he actually was starting to deserve her affection and feelings.

"What?" James asked. Lily must have been staring at him for at bit too long, so she quickly turned away from the boy to hide the blush that she felt forming on her cheeks. "Lily? Seriously, what is it? Is there something on my face or something? I would hate the prefects to have their first impression of me be that I'm a slob."

Lily couldn't help the giggle that came out before she could put a hand over her mouth. She was shocked that she even laughed in the first place.

If Lily were still facing James, she would have seen the bright smile that appeared on James' face upon hearing her giggle. He was happy to have made Lily laugh. Maybe this meant he was making progress, but he was determined to focus less on her this year. There was a war going on outside the walls of Hogwarts and he was determined to do what he could do to help aid as much as he could. He wasn't going to sit on the sidelines when he knew there was plenty he was capable of doing to help in this war. So, James had decided after getting the Head boy badge, alongside his quidditch captain badge, that he would only ask Lily Evans out one more time before he would just give up and call it a lost cause. He couldn't focus on her anyway if he wanted to be a good example. Although, being a good example did not mean he was just going to let the marauders have all the fun planning all the pranks and stuff. He would just have to be extra careful not to get caught this year. Couldn't exactly have the head boy getting detention all the time after all.

"So, Lily, you want to start figuring out what we need to do as heads? We better get started. The prefects could start arriving any minute. We wouldn't want to by unprepared for when they come." James gave the redhead a smile, which she returned.

"Let's get to it."

It felt like forever later, but really was only about half an hour or less before some of the prefects started arriving and the train started on its journey toward Hogwarts. Remus was one of the first prefects to arrive, which both Sirius and Jasmine were grateful for. They greeted the boy, "Hey Moony," they called to him.

Remus turned and was surprised to see two of his best friends. "What are you two doing around this part of the train. Our usual compartment is nowhere near this part of the train."

"Well, no duh." Sirius smacked him upside the head. "I'm only here to support my wonderful girlfriend. It's her first day as prefect and I wanted to walk her to the compartment like the gentleman that I am."

"Moron." Jaz rolled her eyes and smacked Sirius upside the head. She turned to Remus and explained, "Lily was made Head Girl, so Dumbledore appointed me as her replacement for the 7th year prefect. Sirius came with me because, well he is a gentleman and did want to walk with me to the compartment, but he also wanted to catch up on all the lost time over the summer."

"Well, the congratulation, Jaz. You deserve it," Remus stated. "As for you Sirius, shouldn't you be leaving now? You've caught up with Jasmine and you've walked to the compartment, what else is there to do?" Remus asked confused as to why he was still there.

"Well, there is one more thing I want to do before I go, so after you." Sirius smirked as he opened the compartment door for the two prefects before slipping in himself. Remus was the first to enter. He wasn't surprised to see Lily as she usually was there as well as the fact the Sirius and Jasmine had just told him she became head girl also deterred his surprise. What did surprise Remus, though was seeing James in the compartment. That confused him and he just couldn't comprehend why James would possibly be in the prefects' compartment. He clearly wasn't a prefect as the 7th year prefects for Gryffindor were him and Jasmine, so unless he was somehow Head Boy there was no reason for him to be here. Actually, just thinking about James being Head Boy made Remus chuckle which is what alerted the future couple to the others presence.

"Moony! I'm so glad you made it," James greeted his friend.

Remus stared at his friend. His eye happened to catch something on James' robes. Remus found it odd that James was already wearing his robes. But before Remus could think more on why James would possibly already be wearing his robes, he turned his attention to the whatever had caught his eye on the robe itself. Remus noticed that unlike last year, James strangely had two badges pinned on his uniform. He noticed that one of them was the quidditch captain badge that James had gotten last year, which wasn't unusual. The badge didn't give James a reason to be in the prefects' compartment, though. So, Remus looked at the other badge to see what it was. When Remus saw that it was the Head Boy badge, his jaw to drop to the floor.

Upon seeing Remus face, both Jasmine and Sirius broke out into laughter. It was priceless. Jasmine wished that she had a camera so she could take a picture, but sadly she didn't have one on her at the moment. It was upsetting, but Jaz didn't think she would be forgetting this moment of Remus' face anytime soon. That goes for Sirius too. He was so going to use this to tease Remus for the next couple of weeks.

It was several minutes where the only sounds that were coming from the prefects' compartment. Sure, there were a couple of other prefects in the compartment already, but they were mostly just talking amongst themselves quietly. They were probably questioning the sanity of Dumbledore for appointing James Potter Head Boy amongst other things.

By the time the laughter died down, Remus was starting to recover from his shock and surprise. He managed to finally close his mouth, especially after James commented, "Moony, you might want to close your mouth if you don't want to catch any flies." That really snapped Remus out of it. He closed his mouth and glared at James. Though, internally, Remus was smiling at the joke.

When Remus finally said it came out as, "Wha- Ho- Whe- Why?" And that just bought back the laughter. This time, though, the couple was joined by James, but not for long as Lily smacked the Head Boy and glared at him. James quickly shut up quickly after that.

Jaz saw this happen and whispered over to Sirius, "James is so whipped. He isn't even with Lily yet and he is still doing what she asks without her even asking." That only made Sirius laugh even harder.

It was awhile before the couple was able to compose themselves again. In the meanwhile, more prefects arrived, and several were very surprised to see that James Potter was somehow appointed Head Boy, but none of them said anything. They did give curious and confused glances over to where Sirius and Jaz were in the compartment. None of them questioned the gob smacked Remus in the middle of the compartment who was still staring at James. They were surprised as well and knew that Remus knew James better than any of them, so they could understand why he was so surprised at this news. A few were curious to know why Remus didn't know before getting on the train, but they knew times were tense with the war going on, so they figured James wasn't able to tell Remus or something. They didn't really care to think about it too long. It didn't really matter to them all that much.

As the prefects continued to file in, Remus began to compose himself more. Soon, before all of the prefects had arrived, Remus had gathered all of his thoughts and was confident he could get out a coherent and complete sentence. "Okay, hold on a minute." This garnered the attention of the two heads as well as the laughing couple in the corner, who were starting to let up on the laughter. "How the hell did you, James Potter, possibly get Head Boy? Is Dumbledore out of his mind or something?"

James looks offended, and Remus almost felt guilty, but then Lily hit James again and he burst into giggles as Remus' face. It was then that Remus knew that James was just messing with him and he was only mocking being offended at one of his best mates' words. Remus rolled his eyes, but still waited for an answer from the Head Boy, as were a couple of prefects who had overheard Remus' question. Instead of the Head Boy answering, his other best mate and basically brother, Sirius Black answered, "I have no fucking idea how he managed to do it Moony. I don't even think Prongs knows. But he has been more responsible and mature ever since. It has been annoying and frustrating at times. He can go overboard, so I expect you to keep him in line, Evans." Sirius winked at the blushing redhead. "And with that I must be on my way." He turned to the girl he loved and gave her a peck on the cheek. Then he whispered so only she could here. "I will see you later, love. I'm going to go check on Peter really quick, but I'll try and find you later or maybe you will find me first. I don't exactly want to leave the guy hanging by himself wondering where his friends are." Then Sirius exited the compartment and left the prefects and Head to discuss their duties on the train and other stuff that would be necessary.

Jasmine watched as her boyfriend left the compartment. She almost wanted to stop him and tell him not to go check on Peter. She wanted to tell him what she saw at the end of the last year, but yet she still hesitated to do so. She really wanted to give Peter the benefit of the doubt. The boy had been friends with the rest of the Marauders for practically 7 years now. And Jaz had known him for almost 3 years now. They had been through a lot and planned some great pranks together. Jasmine didn't want to throw him under the bus without concrete evidence to do so. She didn't want to ruin a 7-year friendship because she happened to see something that might have not looked like what it really was. As Jasmine listed to Lily and James tell the prefects what they needed to be told as well as give out patrol assignments, she couldn't help but feel like she should tell someone about what she saw. There was a nagging feeling that she was doing the wrong thing by not telling anyone, but she ignored it in favor of keeping the 7-year friendship between the rest of the Marauders. Boy was she in for a hell of a school year and it hadn't even really begun, and trouble was already brewing.

A/N Okay, first off, I am sorry that I couldn't get this out over the weekend like I had planned. I got busy and it just didn't happen. Anyway, now for my surprise. So, part of the reason that this didn't get done sooner was also because instead of writing for this book or this chapter, I instead kept coming up with amazing ideas for another sequel that will take place after their seventh year. That book will probably take place immediately after this book and will end not long after James and Lily are killed. But wait there's more. Rather than just end this fun and awesome series there, I have decided that I will write possibly a 4th book about Harry growing up not with the Dursleys and such, but I don't know. What I do know for sure, though, is that even if I don't write that book, I have a ton of ideas that I am coming up with for a one-shot book, possibly even books, for each of the HP books with the changes that I have made to canon. I will still try to keep it as canon as possible, but things will change of course. It can't be helped when adding in new characters.
Speaking of new characters and my ideas for the future, this is my real surprise for you guys. As I have said before, I'm not great at the names, so I am asking all of you my lovely readers to come up with a name for a possible future child of Sirius and Jasmine (or Sazzy). Gender does not matter, but I would really like some suggestions. I'm open to anything. So let me know and I will pick my favorite. I might make an announcement when I do pick one, but that won't be for a while, so feel free to comment even after I complete this book because the name won't show up in the series until later on because I am not going to have them have a child while they are still at Hogwarts.

Hope to hear from you soon,
