Lilly sat on the edge of the lake, a hand over her mouth and a dazed look in her eyes.

She. Kissed. James. Potter.

Sure, it was an accident, but she still kissed him! And what's worse; She enjoyed it!

A tentacle rose from the dark blue surface of the lake and poked Lilly lightly in the forehead, making her squeak.

Lilly looked at the tentacle for a moment, then smiled, shaking the tentacle as though it was a hand. "Thanks. I was kinda spacing out..."

The tentacle lowered into the water a bit, as though speaking for the giant squid it was connected to.

Lilly chuckled and patted the tentacle lightly. "Nah. Nothing you can do. It's fine." she said softly to it.

The tentacle waved to Lilly and disappeared under the surface of the water again.

"Lilly!" came a call over the grounds.

Lilly looked over her shoulder to see a group of her friends– around 10 of them– waving at her and walking over. Lilly smiled weakly and waved back.

"Whatcha been doing, Lilly? We were supposed to meet at the library!" called one of her friends.

"Sorry! I got distracted." Lilly called back.

"Oh yeah?" grinned another friend, walking over and plopping herself beside Lilly. "By what?"

Lilly quickly looked away, trying to think of something believable, but a certain messy-haired, glasses-wearing boy kept popping into her head.

After a few moments of silence, Lilly's group of friends were getting suspicious, then Lilly looked back at them, deciding to tell the truth.

"What's that?"

Lilly blinked to see one of her friends pointing to something in her lap. Lilly looked down and her eyes widened impossibly wide.

A silver picture frame glittered at her from on her lap, seeming innocent. She must've brought it with her when she ran from James after they kissed!

Lilly knew Remus well enough that if anyone knew about this, let alone a group of girls who would tell the whole school, he would go into shock and positively die from embarrassment.

Lilly was about to stuff the frame in her bag, when Jenny, one of her good friends, stole it from her.

"HEY!" Lilly shrieked, jumping to her feet.

Jenny grinned and looked at the frame closely. "What is it?" she asked.

Lilly was about to tell her it was none of his business and hand it over, when...

"MISS EVANS!"

Lilly's eyes widened and her groups of friends parted for her to see who had called her. Lilly had expected to see a teacher. Definitely not to see a positively fuming Sirius Black.

"Sirius!" Gasped lilly, ignoring the swoons from most her friends. Sure, Sirius was attractive, but he wasn't her type.

Sirius stormed over to her, yanked the picture frame from Jenny's hands and looked accusingly at Lilly.

"You showed them, didn't you?" he growled.

Lilly blinked and opened her mouth to explain, but Sirius rode over her.

"I thought i trusted you!" he shrieked dramatically, waving the picture frame in his hand.

"I didn't show them anything!" yelled lilly.

"Yeah right." scoffed Sirius, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I didn't!" shouted Lilly, outraged.

"Oh yes! They're just looking at it as though its just a picture frame! Not like miss Evans would ever do anything wrong!" Sirius said in a dramatic voice, dripping with sarcasm.

"SIRIUS! I TOLD YOU! I DIDN'T SHOW THEM THE FILM OF YOU AND REMUS MAKING OUT!"

There was a collective gasp around the group of Lilly's friends, Lilly clapped her hand over her mouth and Sirius' body went tense.

Lilly stared at Sirius. Sirius stared at Lilly. Lilly's friends stared at them both.
