It was a nice Septembers after noon at Hogwarts, there where students relaxing on the ground talking laughing and sunbathing, amongst those students where two member of the different groups, one Remus Lupin and the other Takara Carlviér.

"What you doing out of bed any way shouldn't you be resting in bed?" Takara asked putting her hair behind her ear. She was the only other person besides the Marauders who new about his condition.

"Not you too, you sound like Madam P I feel fine." he said rolling his eyes.

"You look terrible and tired Remus you sure your ok?"

"Anyway," Remus said ignoring her comment "we better be getting to class love, we got history of magic." helping Takara to her feet he wrapped an arm around her hips and they walked hand in hand up to their class.

As always with the Marauders it started with a simple prank, the problem was this time is that they couldn't think of a suitable one. It all started in the middle of October in History of Magic… That's where all the plans for their pranks started since Binns was a dead old ghost who droned on… and on… and on… and on about nothing particularly important. The Marauders are passing notes…as usual.

'I'm bored'-Sirius

'What you wanna do today'-James

'How about… here's a good one, it's the best one in the world'-Remus

'What, what tell us.' Sirius

'Let's study. Oi stop throwing papers at me! - Remus

'Moony what are you talking about? We study all the time'-Peter

'No Wormtail you study Prongs and myself are pranking kings does a jig'- Sirius

'Sit down Sirius, this is the last time you drink fire whisky before class what's wrong with your friend Prongs?'- Remus

'Hey he's your friend puts hands up'- James

'Hey you're both my friends' smiles insanely-Sirius

Silence you can only hear owls hooting Sirius stop throwing paper at me-Peter

Seated at the front of the class were Lily Evans and her friends. She flicked her long mane of red hair behind her left shoulder laughing at a joke that Alice had told her. Her smile put James into a trace, staring dreamily James sighed longingly as she talked with her friends.

'What's wrong with Prongs?'-Remus

'I dunno shrugs shoulders'-Sirius

'I know why.'-Peter

'Why?'-Sirius and Remus

'Lily's in font of us'-Peter

'Oh'-Remus

'It figures rolls eyes-Sirius

After a gruelling double lesson of History of Magic with Professor Binns, the Marauders decided to go chill anywhere. Just as they where walking outside, they saw the Silva Ice girls and Alice Clark (Neville's Mum) all laughing and talking.

"Hey Evans can I talk to you?" James asked ruffling his hair.

"What is it?" she asked flicking her hair over her shoulders, there was a little glint in her green eyes. He began to wonder if she remembered that little prank he played on her that went wrong and she ended up in the hospital wing.

"Will you…you know go on a date with me?"

"Drop dead Potter." And she strolled off to the lake with her friends.

"Well at least she didn't say she'd rather go out with the giant squid." Peter said.

"Look like she still hasn't forgiven me, I blame you Padfoot," James said going to get into a rant on why it was Sirius fault, turning around he saw the dark haired Gryffindor walk inside "Where you going Padfoot?"

"I want to get Quidditch threw the ages. I'll meet you guys by the Hadgrids Hut."

Sirius continued to walk to the library. He looked through the window and saw the person he wanted to see. The truth was he didn't want to get Quidditch threw the ages he already had that stashed up in his bed room. The reason he was there was to see her. He watched as she sat down reading her book twisting strands of her hair around her fingers, chewing on her lip in concentration.

Sirius strolled in the library and looked among the many dusty book gathered on the shelves, slowly making his way to her, he grabbed her by elbow and brought her to the history section.

"Sirius what…" she began to protest, her pouty bow shaped lips with a little smile playing on them. Kissing her lips he silenced her argument, deepening the kiss his tongue swept inside her mouth causing a whimper to rise from her throat.

"I've wanted to do that since the start of term." He said smiling,

"You have?" she asked with a dazed looked in her eyes, her focus was gone, whenever he kissed her she couldn't seem to think about anything except the fact she never wanted it to end.

"Um…" he brushed his lips against hers again, looking deeply into her eyes happy that he could get her into this state "You're beautiful." He murmured in her ear.

A chill ran down her spine as his warm breath tickled her ears, resting her head on his chest she asked the question that she had been dying to ask him since they started this….whatever it was "When are we going to tell people Sirius?"

Sirius looked down at her and moved back a little as he felt the walls come around him, he wasn't good at relationships and he had no intention of getting any better "I'm not ready to, not just yet."

She pulled away from him; he tried to catch her hands as she pushed against his chest wanting to get away. "I don't know why I put up with this it's always the same every day it's always the your willing to kiss me, you want to sleep with me but you can't commit. This has been going on since before the summer. 5months of the same bullshit well no more." she span on her heel and stormed off.

'Fuck what wrong with you Black? Why can't you just bed her and leave your growing soft.' He said to himself as he left the library and went to meet the guys.

"Hey where's the book?" Remus asked raising a inquisitive eyebrow as he saw his friends empty hands.

"Someone else has it but I'm next in line. So what we gonna do tonight because it's the last day of the full moon?"

"We'll have to get out earlier than usual because we almost got caught because James." Peter said glaring at him.

"Hey Lily wanted to me?" he said defensively.

"No you wanted to talk to her and she hexed you." Sirius said.

"Moony why don't you go to bed, you look tired and you got to keep your strength up for tonight." James said. And he did he dark circles around his eye's and he paler than usual, he had been doing way too much when he should have been resting.

"I am while you guys are in potions I will be living it up in the dorm sleeping," he said stretching.

"Mr Lupin," came Professor McGonagall stern voice from nowhere, Remus winced because he knew that trouble was coming.

"Yes McGonagall." Remus said turning around. McGonagall looked very angry her face was stern and her lips where thin. Looking from one member to another they gave each other weary looks, The Marauders smelt trouble.

"What are you doing out of bed? Have you forgotten what tonight is?" she said ending the last part in a harsh whisper.

"But Professor McGonagall I had to go to History of Magic it was a very important lesson and there will be a test on it next week, I felt it was my duty as Prefect to set an example to the students."

"Very well Mr Lupin up to bed this instant or 50 points will be taken from Gryffindor."

They watched as the stern faced teacher walked away James leaned towards Remus' "How the hell did you do that?"

"Easy throw the prefect card gets them every time, though I have no clue why they made me prefect."

"They though you'd be a good influence on us." The boys looked at each other then burst out laughing at the thought of them behaving.

The day trod along very boringly for the rest of the Marauders that is until they hex Nott turning his whole body green for a week. They ate dinner quickly so they could go meet Remus by the Shrieking Shack.

When they got back they headed up to the dorm room but Sirius was too restless to sleep. He kept down the stair and saw someone down there. It was her and she looked gorgeous the firelight flattered her appearance more beautiful than ever.

"What you writing?" Sirius asked grabbing her diary.

Her eyes widened as the diary flew from her hands "Sirius give that back!" She demanded fall on top of him. "Give it back."

"'He's a really good kisser' I wonder who that could be about?" Sirius asked laughing.

"Sirius I'm not joking gives it back. What's in that diary it private and personal and you have no right to read it." She looked down into Sirius's lavender coloured eyes.

"Hey has anyone ever told you, you have a ring of silver around your eyes?" Sirius asked getting lost in her orbs.

"No ones ever been close enough to tell me before." She said in a quite voice.

Sirius lifted up his head and kissed her. His tongue was roaming around her mouth and her hand where in his hair. She got up "We can't do this anymore Sirius. We've been doing this since the end of last term you can't keep messing with my head. It's not right."

"What do you want me to do about it? We have been going out for five months what's your problem? You should be happy" Sirius asked angrily his arrogance raring its ugly head.

"What do I want? I to be able to go out with you in public instead of hiding every time someone see us. I wanna be able to go to Hogsmeade with you I wanna be able to tell my best friends who I'm going out with but I can see we don't want the same thing." She snatched her diary she sent him one more murderous glare and stormed up stairs.

"Ahhhhh… why are women so complicated?" Sirius went up to the boy's dorm there's only one person who would understand.
