Reviews:
jedimasterb10: Glad you like the story, but Vegito's Harem II is currently in our back burner. We've got a LOT of stories to go through.
Jerm069: Wait and see what we're going for.
h4lfbl00dprinc3: Not planning to. But it's a bit unusual since your name is Sev's nickname.
Here are some reviews from our own GreyKing46:
ROYAL958: We won't
darkwulf187: The books didn't really say how old they were in relation to each other. And considering Sirius mentioned their childhood, we made an estimated guess. Also lots of stories I have seen put the Black sisters in the same year as James and Lilly

Harry and Lily went outside of the Great Hall, seeing Lucius confronting Cissy about Harry destroying the Howler and saw her at the tea-room with Harry.
"What business do you HAVE, to pry in my life?" Cissy snapped
"You're my fiancee, it IS my business! You're only around Potter in lessons or studying." Malfoy answered.
"Oh, so I'm not allowed to be around other people?" Cissy asked.
"They're like a dysfunctional couple." Lily frowned.
'THIS is what Draco had to deal with?' Harry thought sadly as he stood next to Lily.
"What IS Potter to you? Your friend? Cause the way you're around him, how he comes to your aid?" Malfoy snapped. "Imagine how your mother will react when she learns you destroyed her howler."
"Y-You haven't." Cissy's colour drained from her face, feeling defeated...She slumped her arms down. How was she to answer that?
"H-Harry?" Lily looked as Harry pushed forward through the crowd.
"Potter?" Malfoy looked as Harry emerged and walked forward. "Stay out of-!" He snapped before his face froze by what Harry did next.
"Harry?" Cissy asked before she stopped in shock.
Harry pulled her in for a kiss in front of ALL the students, before pulling back slowly. "Sorry I was late." He apologised before turning to Malfoy. "Don't talk to my girlfriend like that again, Malfoy."
Cissy's heart was beating so loud she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "W-What?" She whispered, thinking that this was some form of dream...or one come true.
"Y-You two are dating?" Lucius choked.
"Did I stutter?" Harry responded confidently. "You okay, Cissy?"
She nodded almost dreamily and with a teary smile.
"Let's go." Harry reassured her and led her away from Lucius. This debate was over between the two Slytherins.
Now, everything that just transpired...People WOULD remember this. For a LONG time.
Walking away from the crowd, seeing the students thin out as they walked hand in hand, their hearts pounding from the bravery and adrenaline before they reached outside...And Harry exhaled in shock. "That was...THE craziest thing I've done."
Cissy was still in a dream-like state before coming down and looked at Harry. "What?"
"Are you okay?" Harry asked as he looked at her
Cissy nodded. "Was...was it an act?" She asked
Harry looked like he was about to give a different answer...but he shook his head. "No. No, it wasn't. I...I couldn't give you a straight answer the other day cause. I-I found you. You AND your sisters. Beautiful. I-I couldn't choose."
Cissy's heart pounded once again, her other hand going over her heart.
"But...Yeah. I'll be your boyfriend. If that option's still open." Harry answered
Cissy smiled as she looked down at her other hand, seeing that they were still holding each other's.
The two laughed nervously as they lifted their hands up. "Guess it's official now."
"Where did you learn to kiss like that?" Cissy asked, thinking back to Harry's bravery.
*Flashback*
It was a few days ago, Harry was with Death in the Room of Requirement. And they were almost connected in a kiss, before Harry pulled back nervously. "I-I'm sorry."
"What's wrong, Master?" Death asked
"I. I can't." Harry answered nervously, looking away from her.
"You can tell me anything, you know this." Death reassured him
"I...I'm terrible at kissing." Harry answered
"How do you know?" Death asked
"Cho Chang." Harry answered simply, putting his head in his hands, ashamed of himself.
Death frowned, seeing how bad Harry's first crush was...and how bad it was on him. "Let me help you, Master."
She knew how Harry was feeling about the Sisters and was willing to help alleviate the struggle. "How will you help?" Harry asked
"Well, I can help you be better at kissing, Master." Death answered with a smile.
Harry froze at that; did he just hear that correctly?
"You said how awkward your first kiss was, Master. And how you've not had much practice since then." Death answered. "Let me help."
"And...You're willing to teach me?" Harry asked
"Of course." Death nodded gently.
Harry pondered at that...and nodded. "O-Okay."
Death smiled at Harry's answer. She was going to enjoy this as WELL as teaching him.
She licked her lips and grinned
*End flashback*
Harry tried to think of a good answer as he looked at Cissy. "I. Had motivation." He answered
Cissy nodded at that, accepting that answer.
"Cissy, I know this seems sudden but...Would you like to be my date to Slughorn's party?" He asked nervously, hoping that he worded it correctly.
Cissy just hugged him, giving him his answer.
"I guess that's a 'yes'?" He chuckled
"Of course I would!" She smiled, kissing him again.
Harry could feel that Cissy was genuine, he cupped her cheek and hummed gently, holding her close.
Back in the castle, everyone was a buzz that Harry was Cissy's boyfriend. Hell, it felt like it came out of nowhere. But there were only a small number of students who WERE and WEREN'T surprised. Those being Bella and Dromeda.
Sev, Lily were shocked that Harry was dating Cissy. And for how long? Since the previous week? The Tea-Room?
"Lily?" Sev asked as he saw her looking dishevelled. "Are. Are you-?"
Lily responded with a small and quick nod, subtly inverting her lips.
Sev didn't know what to say, Lily was close with Harry, just like him. Was this a betrayal of their friendship?
The two soon walked off for their respective lessons, being told by the prefects and Head Students.
Harry and Cissy were about to do the same. "Listen...If you don't mind; can you give my answer to Bella and Dromeda?" Harry asked
Cissy nodded, though a bit slower. "I will. But. Can we have our date first before I tell them?"
"That's fine. I don't want to seem unreasonable or anything." Harry answered.
"You might see them at Slughorn's party. You might be able to tell them then." Cissy added
"Yeah, but...Too many people." Harry responded. "The last thing we need is MORE stuff going on in public."
"Okay. I'll tell them after class." Cissy reassured him
"Thank you, Cis-...Narcissa." Harry thanked her before using her real name, instead of her nickname...which just made her blush as bright as Fawkes' plumage.
"See you tomorrow." She squeaked as she slowly let go of Harry's hand and left for class.
Harry sighed and felt his heart thump loudly, he couldn't believe that he was now dating not one but three girls. Though, they knew about each other...Harry confessed his real feelings for them to Narcissa. He felt...lighter. Happier. if he cast his Patronus now, he's certain that he could take on 1000 Dementors.
He smiled, spinning his wand. Unable to help himself he performed a small Patronus
"Expecto Patronum!" He activated the spell and shooting from the tip of his wand, came a large bright orb of white light almost as big as he was!
Harry let out a cheerful exhale as he didn't realise that this was how happy he was right now. Words couldn't describe it!
"Potter!" Filch's called out as he saw the spell and Harry. "Out of class?"
"Yes, sir. I was just going there now." Harry answered, deactivating his Patronus and left a VERY confused and stunned Filch in his dust.
"D-Did he? Did he call me 'Sir', Mrs Norris?" He looked at his cat in shock.
Harry ran to his lesson, not caring that he would be a few minutes late...What he just did was worth it.
Arriving at his lesson, Harry met himself with a frowning Professor Flitwick. "Glad to see you finally join us, Mr Potter."
"I'm sorry, Professor." Harry apologised
Professor Flitwick sighed. "Please go to your seat. I'll settle your punishment later."
"Yes, sir." Harry nodded and sat next to Alice.
The lesson continued on as normal. Although Harry had to serve a detention with Professor Flitwick for being late.
And soon we headed to Defence Against the Dark Arts. And the lesson plan was for today. "Identifying werewolves." Professor Bello spoke respectfully and enthusiastically.
Harry knew this lesson in advanced VERY well. As WELL as knowing someone who WAS a werewolf.
"Now, what can anyone tell me about werewolves?" Professor Bello asked
Lily raised her hand, among some others.
"Hmm, Ms Evans." He pointed to Lily
"A werewolf is a person who is afflicted with lycanthropy, it forces them to change into a half-human and half-wolf creature that is a threat to humans. But to animals it is harmless." Lily answered.
"Excellent work. Now, as of yet, there is no cure for lycanthropy but it doesn't mean that there isn't hope for those who are afflicted." Professor Bello added.
Remus looked down at his desk and felt a little-disheartened hearing this, but hearing that Professor Bello having hope for those WITH the curse, made him feel a little better.
"Now, we're going to be looking over the traits and differences between werewolves and Animagi." The Professor added, going to his board.
As the lesson continued, everyone seemed concerned knowing that there was a full moon coming. But were all reassured that there was no harm that would come towards them, seeing as werewolves kept to the deep forests to transform.
Harry left the lesson and thought about it...there WAS a potion that would help alleviate the symptoms. But the ingredients were expensive. Professor Lupin took it every time for months in his third year. Well, ALMOST all the time. That one night when Pettigrew was found alive and Sirius escaped from Azkaban. Harry remembered for the first time he saw a werewolf.
"Harry?" Alice shook him to grab his attention.
"Huh? Sorry?" Harry asked
"You're spacing out. Did this morning mess with your head or something?" Alice asked
"Err." Harry chuckled awkwardly.
"Come on, we're gonna be late for Potions." Alice answered, pushing him.
"Okay, okay. I'm going!" Harry answered and went to Potions.
The class was about to be in session and the groups were the same as last time. "Hey, Harry." Bella spoke.
"Hey, everyone." Harry answered as he sat next to Cissy.
"Good, now today we'll be working on our potions from last week." Slughorn spoke, grabbing their attention. "It's slightly trickier this week as they have time to ferment."
The class were a little worried, this being a two-week potion and all. "But I have good luck with you all. Begin." He answered, letting them get their potions, which varied from lime greens to pale yellows and only two were silvery blues, those being Harry's and Sev's tables.
Another batch of perfect potions from the pair
Over by Malfoy's group, he was glaring at Harry. Still royally pissed off that his fiancee had HIM as a boyfriend. So, he decided to do something about it. Ruin it. But how to do it? He can't outright confront him here with all these dangerous potions about.
"Alright, this should be the last part." Dromeda spoke, holding up some Mandrake leaves.
"We just need two." Harry answered, consulting his potions book.
"Here we go." Dromeda nodded, putting one in at a time.
Over by Sev's table, the same was happening. "And that should be it."
"Cool. So, what's it do?" Sirius asked
"...Do you SERIOUSLY not pay attention?" Lily frowned
"Sorry, my mind's been on something more important." Sirius answered, not giving anything away.
"Alright everyone, that's it. Let me review your potions." Slughorn spoke, getting around his student's tables.
One by one, Slughorn gave a medium ranking on their potions. Malfoy's was...less than admirable. "I'm afraid you weren't paying much attention to yours, Lucius." He frowned
"Sorry, Professor." Lucius answered, seemingly uncaring at this point.
"Now, onto the stars...MERLIN'S BEARD!" Slughorn began to speak before exclaiming in shock
"What is it?" Bella looked in worry.
"Let me guess, Snivellus screwed up?" Sirius asked
"These are perfect. Top marks! All eight of you! Ten points to both Slytherin and Gryffindor!" Slughorn smiled.
The tables gave silent cheers as they received points.
Harry held Cissy's hand under the table, giving a firm squeeze
Cissy blushed happily, feeling her boyfriend's hand.
"You can leave. No homework for today." Slughorn answered, wanting to give everyone SOMETHING good.
The class sighed in relief; at least that was ONE load of homework they didn't have to do.
"And I hope that you all can learn something from this today." Slughorn answered, letting them go.
The class vacated, only having one more lesson today before the weekend.
Harry and Cissy let go of their hands when they left the classroom. SHE wanted to tell her sisters before anyone else got there first.
Lily and Sev noticed Harry walking much closer to Cissy. Ever since this morning, it was no wonder.
Lily looked at the floor before walking out of the classroom. "L-Lily!" Sev ran after her.
Sirius didn't even bother making trouble involving Sev. He had more pressing concerns to deal with and met up with his friends.
The last lesson came and went rather quickly, it just seemed that the rest of the day was a blur until dinner came around.
Everyone saw the number of points that the Houses had acquired.
Ravenclaw had 185
Hufflepuff had 215
Slytherin had 255
And Gryffindor had 290
Probably the best for the House of Bravery, but that was because of the latest Quidditch match.
But right now, the Marauders were nowhere to be seen, The Sisters weren't there...and the only ones who we need to know; Sev and Lily were in the Great Hall with the other students.
Sev was nervous about what he was about to do...But he WANTED to do it. He stepped up and walked over to the Gryffindor table.
Seeing Lily on her own, he sat down next to her. "H-Hey Lily." He spoke nervously.
"Sev. This...this is a first." Lily blinked, seeing her friend.
Sev nodded at that, nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Um...You know Professor Slughorn's get together?"
She hummed at that, knowing because she was part of the same club.
"I. I was wondering if..." He gulped nervously.
"'If'?" She asked, looking up at him
"You'd...Like to go. With me?" He asked nervously, his hand shaking in worry.
Time suddenly came to a stop
Lily blinked in shock. Did? Did her friend just ask her out?
"Sev. I. I don't. "She blinked, trying to think of a suitable answer to give him as she did not feel that way for him however they were in public
Sev looked nervous and felt his stomach go. "A-As friends." He quickly blurted out. "We...We can go as friends?"
"I'd love that." She nodded with a relived smile, hoping that answer would get her message across gently
Sev gave a small half smile, from that...he now knew how she felt. "Great. So I'll. I'll see you there?" He responded
Lily nodded gently.
Sev exhaled gently and excused himself, going back to his dorm...But instead of going straight there...he made a turn to the boys' bathroom. He went into one of the toilet cubicles...and began to choke back his tears. He felt like his heart was broken into a million pieces. ''As FRIENDS'? Severus. You FOOL. You. Stupid. STUPID fool!' He curled into himself, weeping as the only person he loved...wasn't in love with him. But, what more could he do? They were friends.
He began to think. Think about that if they WEREN'T friends anymore...MAYBE she would?
SLAP!
Sev left a red mark on his face; HOW could he even think THAT? Destroy their friendship? All for an unrequited love? That's someone who was obsessive or possessive would think about. He wasn't like that. 'I-I love you, Lily.' He thought to himself, using some toilet paper to dry his tears. 'But...At least I know. I know how you feel.'
He coughed into his hands to stop the noise; so that he could let his emotions out.
Over by the Sisters, they were getting ready for the Slug Club dinner. Picking out their dresses, but that was put on hold.
Cissy had something to tell them. "Harry said 'yes'."
Dromeda and Bella gasped. Though the word spread around school like wildfire, it was almost known to them, but THIS confirmed it.
"He's gonna date all of us?" Bella asked
Cissy nodded with a smile. "He...He's a literal knight." She blushed and explained what happened with Lucius and them.
"Oh my god!" Dromeda gasped as she heard this, covering her mouth and nose in shock but also happiness.
"And, he said that he couldn't choose between us?" Bella asked
Cissy nodded again. "He said he couldn't choose cause he found us all beautiful."
Dromeda smiled gently at that, happy to hear that Harry thought that way. "And is he alright with the situation?"
"Didn't you just hear? We've got a boyfriend!" Bella cheered, lifting her arms in the air. Though she DID feel jealous at Cissy for taking Harry's first kiss.
"I just hope we try not to make this weird." Cissy hoped
"What do you mean?" Dromeda asked
"I mean...Three of us. One of him...If he goes tries to give us equal attention during the week, that leaves one day out." Cissy answered
"...Triple date?" Bella raised a crazy idea.
FUMP!
Pillows were thrown at Bella. Right in the face
"Yeah, no. You're right, that was stupid." Bella realised her suggestion was stupid.
"Do you KNOW what sort of pressure that puts on a person?" Cissy asked
"TOO much." Dromeda answered
"So, what? We go at it slow?" Bella asked
"Yes." The two answered in synch.
"Okay, okay. Don't bite my head off." Bella defended
"Can we just...Get the dresses ready?" Cissy asked kindly.
"Sure." Dromeda and Bella answered
It was now a few hours into the night and outside of the castle the Marauder's were sneaking out. All hidden under James' Invisibility Cloak, they were headed towards the Whomping Willow. A large thick-trunked tree that had long branches like whips, covered in long green leaves.
"Alright, we ready?" James asked
"Y-Yeah." Remus nodded, the chill of the air getting to him.
"Peter?" Sirius turned to him.
"O-Okay." Peter nodded, getting out of the cloak and began to change. Turning into a small rat.
You see, the Marauders were Animagi. Wizards who could transform into animals.
Well...except for Remus, who was a werewolf.
This was their ritual, once a month they help their friend hide-away so he could transform.
Werewolves were terrors to HUMANS, but to animals they were harmless.
Mostly at least
The Whomping Willow's branches soon began to stiffen, the tree was immobile.
"Okay, Peter's gotten the knot." Sirius spoke, helping Remus through the hole near the base of the tree.
"Good job, Peter." James answered as the three entered the hole and travelled through a tunnel to an unknown location
Back in the castle, Harry was in his room and relaxing in bed.
"I take it your day went well?" Death asked with a beaming smile.
"Yes." Harry nodded with a smile
"How did it go with your girlfriend?" Death asked, teasing him gently
"Well~, we've got a date." Harry answered happily
Death blinked. 'Master, you work FAST!' She thought to herself.
"It's just to the Slug Club party but...Does it count?" Harry asked
"Somewhat, Master." Death answered.
"Only somewhat?" He grumbled
Death nodded gently. "Sometimes, a date has to be a surprise. And sometimes it's agreed by both parties."
Harry mumbled at that, it made SOME sense to him...but then again this is his second time dating a girl. "I guess." He sighed.
"But I think you've done really well, asking her out, Master." Death answered, sitting next to him and stroked his head.
"Only cause you helped." Harry answered honestly and gratefully.
"It's because I care about you." Death answered. "You should sleep. You've got a LONG day tomorrow."
Harry nodded and sighed tiredly, getting ready for bed...something of a sight that Death enjoyed.
