Disclaimer: I do not own Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, or Lily Evans.
I do own Kadasa Mori and Samantha Selene and any of the characters I make up along the way.
I also don't own the places mention in here (Ex: Hogwarts, Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 ¾'s, etc.) Unless they're of my own creations (Ex: Sam's American home)
I never want to own Wormtail so you may have him.
Oh and I don't own any of the teachers… unless of course I make them up.
Yup… I think that's about it. Now on with the story!
Last time:
Sam? James asked.
The werewolf nodded. Hi.
You werewolf?
She looked sheepish, tail falling slightly. Yeah…
What you doing here?
Need out. Bright night. Romp through forest, she frowned. Okay with you?
They both nodded and Remus wagged his tail.
Race fast? he asked. Sam glanced at Padfoot who nodded.
She grinned, wagging her tail. Go. Go. Race fast now.
They tore through the trees, Padfoot and Prongs racing to keep up with them. From the Gryffindor Head Girl's window, Lily watched, a smile splayed across her lips.
"She make it out all right?" Kadasa asked, reading her Transfiguration textbook.
"Yup," Lily replied. "She looks like she's having fun."
"Good. She needs to get out more often. Those woods will provide her enough entertainment. Squirrels and whatnot to chase." Lily smiled and nodded her agreement, watching her friend disappear into the trees.

"Sirius! Wake up!" James shouted for the fifth time that morning.
"Mng…"
"Just leave him," Remus stated, slipping his cloak on and heading for the door. James scoffed and followed after him, leaving the sleeping silver eyed boy behind.
They hit the floor to the common room and turned only to have someone run into them. Sam pulled back then grinned brilliantly.
"You don't look tired," James observed.
She smirked. "Believe me. I am." She winked then wrapped an arm around Remus' waist, him putting one behind her back to rest on her right side. "It's the miracle of make-up."
"I hate make-up," a voice stated next to them and they all jumped to find Kadasa standing there, Lily's eyes falling and her body slumping before she blinked quickly and straightened before slumping again. Remus and James watched with a raised eyebrow as she repeated the sequence for the fifth time.
"What's the matter with Evans?" James asked.
"She's tired," Kadasa started.
"She hasn't had food," Sam added.
"And she's not awake yet," Kadasa finished.
Lily suddenly stumbled and fell into James who jumped and caught her by the elbows. She turned her face up to him, eyes not focusing before her head fell down, resting on his chest. James smirked and shook his head. "Excellent blackmail."
Kadasa wagged her finger at him. "James. I'm trusting you right now. She's not awake and you need to get her to breakfast and get her either hot chocolate or coffee."
He waved a hand at her. "Don't worry Asa. I won't hurt her."
"Hurt?" she snorted. "I'm just worried about you embarrassing her."
Sam scoffed. "I hope you don't feel the same way about me!"
"She doesn't," Remus said before Kadasa could answer.
Sam looked confused. "How do you know?"
"let me tell you this Remus. You're one of my friends… but if you hurt my Sam, you will regret it."
"Oh, I just do."
Kadasa smiled at him then looked up the boy's stairs. "Where's Sirius?"
"Sleeping," James answered, shifting Lily so he was holding her up around the waist. "He's just tired like Lily. Come on. Let's get some grub."

"Sirius… Come on Sirius. Wake up… Sirius?"
Sirius groaned, cracking open his eyes to see a blond head who giggled. He rolled over in his bed. "Asa… go way… too early…"
She giggled again and he opened his eyes to see her bending over next to him. "You're the only one still in bed. I've been trying to get you up for a while."
He sat up, rubbing his face and looking at the clock. He yelped. "I slept in!"
She nodded. "You have time for a quick shower. I got you breakfast. Everyone else is still down there but you wouldn't have time to get to the Great Hall then to class."
"Thanks Asa," he said, rushing into the bathroom. He took a 3 minute shower and was dressed in 2 more racing back into the Head Boy's dorm. He entered to find Kadasa, sitting on James' bed reading her Transfiguration textbook.
"That was fast," she muttered, without looking up, nodding to the plate on his end table. "Breakfast."
He muttered a 'thanks', flopping onto his bed, digging into the waffles.
"We've got Transfig first block?" he asked around his food.
She nodded. "What's the spell that makes something happen to other objects?"
"Protean." He glanced up at her to see her nod again, biting her lip. "You don't remember Asa?"
She looked up. "Huh?"
"You don't remember what spell it was?"
"No. I just wanted to make sure it was protean."
He nodded, not believing her but finishing his food. He plucked up his books. "Ready to go?"
She smiled brightly and nodded. "Let's go!"

Prongs: Jeez Padfoot. Tired much?
Padfoot: Shuddup.
Moony: We tried to wake you up like a dozen times.
Inu: Me too!
Padfoot: Inu?
The Marauders looked over at Kadasa who waved.
Inu: Well you three were using your nicknames! I wanted to use mine! I forgot I had one. So sad.
Padfoot: Inu?
Inu: Means dog in Japanese.
Moony: You thinkin what I'm thinkin Prongs?
Prongs: Oh yeah. Dogs of a feather flock together.
Moony: That's birds of a feather Prongs.
Prongs: Whatever. They still flock.
Padfoot: Shuddup.
Inu: Huh? I don't get it.
Padfoot: Their being gits as usual. Thanks for breakfast by the way Asa.
Inu: You're welcome!
Prongs: She brought you breakfast?
Padfoot: Yeah… where were you?
Prongs: Trying to wake Evans up.
Moony: What he means is that we had a… difficult time trying to get Evans to stay awake long enough to drink a cup of hot chocolate.
Padfoot: How difficult?
Inu: The fact that she thought James was a pillow was enough.
Prongs: Shuddup.
Padfoot: Hey! That's my line! Inu! Tell Prongsie not to use my line!
Prongs: Don't call me Prongsie!
Inu: Don't call me Inu!
Padfoot:… uh… I don't get it…
Inu: That's Sammy and Lil's nickname for me! Like you use yours for each other!
Prongs: Oh… so what's Evans?
Inu: Tora for tiger.
Moony: And Sam's?
Inu: Ookami for wolf.
Padfoot: Maybe we should rename Moony, Ookami.
Moony: Padfoot…
Prongs: Don't kill him. I'll be blamed.
Inu: Or me.
Padfoot: Most likely you.
Inu: Don't make it any worse or it will be me.
Prongs: Why does he listen to you?
Inu: Cause he knows I'm serious.
Padfoot: No, I'M Sirius.
Moony: Not that Sirius/Serious pun again.
Padfoot: But I'm serious.
Prongs: Shuddup Padfoot.
Padfoot: I'm Sirius, I'm siriusly serious.
Inu: And I'm gonna kill you.
Padfoot: Nice to meet you I'm-gonna-kill-you.
Moony: Can we please listen now?
Inu: To what?
Prongs: Yeah what she said.
Moony: Maybe Professor Sinistra?
Padfoot: Aw. You're no fun Moony.
Inu: Yeah. No fun.
Prongs: We probably should finish this note session though. Class is almost over.
Inu: You're no fun either!
Padfoot: Yeah!
Inu: But I agree with you.
Padfoot: Ye-wait… what?
Moony: Good going Kadasa. Now can we please listen?
Inu: I'm done.
Moony: Me too.
Prongs: Guess it's just you and me huh Padfoot?
Padfoot: Yeu-
Kadasa snatched the note away before he could finish and stuffed it in her bag. He scowled at her and she just grinned. He glanced at Prongs who scowled. He smirked and mouthed 'it's your sister' making the stag's frown fall further. He grinned in triumph and turned to poke Kadasa and grin when she jumped.

"Hey Lils?"
Lily turned, looking at Kadasa who was tapping her quill against the paper. "Yeah?"
"What should I get Sirius for Christmas?"
Lily shrugged. "How about a piece of mistletoe?"
Kadasa glared at her. "Ha ha ha. Very funny. I'll be tormented for the rest of my life. Really. What should I get him?"
"What does he like?"
"I dunno."
Lily sighed rubbing her forehead. "Kadasa, you've known him since you were 10."
Kadasa shrugged. "Tormenting me?"
"Very good. Then get the mistletoe. Then he can torment you."
She glared at her again then sighed. "I give up. I'll go ask James."
"You do that."
"I will." She jumped off the bed then trotted out the doorway, Sam looking at Lily before they both giggled.
Sam stretched then grabbed her Charms textbook. "I have homework to do and the fireplace is calling me."
Lily chuckled and nodded. "I'm going to take a nice long bubble bath. I need it nowadays."
"You do that. I'll be back in probably an hour or so."
"See ya." After Sam left, Lily grabbed a towel, pajamas, and her bath kit and headed for the head bathrooms. They had a room off of the main bathroom for taking a bath.
It's like heaven in Hogwarts, Lily thought then giggled. We should start calling it that. I'm sure Kadasa would. The said girl was currently bouncing around the Head Boy's dorm, annoying her brother about what to get for one of her best friends.
"I don't know Kadasa!" James shouted. "Go ask Moony!"
She paused and looked around. "Where is Remus?"
"I think he went for a walk."
"Then how am I supposed to find him!"
"Go to the astronomy tower and fling yourself off," he grumbled.
"He went for a walk on the astronomy tower?"
"Just… go away!"
"Are you being mean to Asa again?" A voice asked. They both spun to find Sirius standing there.
"Yes I am," James grumbled. "I'm trying to study and she's bouncing. Go find something to do."
Sirius and Kadasa looked at each then grinned. "Bug Sarah and Lyon?" Kadasa asked.
"Bug Sarah and Lyon," Sirius replied and they flew down towards the common room. James shook his head and returned to his homework.

Remus yawned as he headed for the stairs then paused, looking around the empty common room. He thought he'd heard…
A crinkle of paper was heard again. He stepped towards the couch only to find someone slumped over onto the table in front of it. He frowned.
"Sam?" He called. She didn't move but he could tell she was breathing because the strand of hair that had fallen was waving when she took a breath.
He sighed and walked around the couch next to her, lightly shaking her shoulder. "Sam?"
She groaned and shook her head. "Give me five more minutes Lil…" She muttered.
He chuckled. "It's not Lily."
She frowned and opened her eyes recognizing him then flushing before sitting up. "Sorry Remus." She murmured rubbing her eyes. "What time is it?"
"A little after 10."
"Wow." She yawned. "I started my homework at 5:30… must've been asleep by 6..." She frowned as her stomach growled. "And I missed dinner…" He frowned as well. "Hm… wonder if Kadasa has any food in the dorm…"
"Hold on," he said. "I can get you some food."
She looked up in surprised. "Really?"
He smiled. "I know where the kitchens are."
She lit up. "You do?" she cried then blushed and lowered her voice. "Kadasa, Lily and I have been searching for them for a long time."
He winked and stood up. "I'll show you. Come on."
"Thanks Remus!" As they disappeared out of the common room James looked at Sirius.
"Now all you have to do is show Kadasa," he said.
Sirius yawned scratching the back of his head. "I already have."
James' eyes widened. "What? Really?"
"Yeup. Last year. We were working on that project for Transfig and she said she was hungry. I was hungry too so I showed her." James raised an eyebrow at him and Sirius frowned. "It's not what you think." At his look of belief, "I don't like her Prongs!"
"Whatever Padfoot. I believe you."
"No you don't! Jamesie!"
