"That went well," Remus sighed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. His fellow Marauders looked just as depressed.

"I don't know what went wrong!" James wailed. Peter nodded slowly, his face solemn for once.

"Snivellus was dripping wet, for goodness sakes!" Sirius exclaimed, tightening the grip he had on Remus's shoulder. "Why didn't McGonagall give us detention?"

Remus leaned a little closer to Sirius as he watched James give the password to the Fat Lady. "I think it was because Severus ran away before she could see him."

"Well, next time, we should knock him out."

Peter sniffled a little. "There isn't going to be a 'next time'," he complained, looking sorrowfully at Remus as the he sat down on a red couch. "It's almost dinner, and there's no way we can set up a prank big enough to get Moony in trouble! He's a perfect student!"

"Actually, that's right," James added, refusing to flinch as Sirius glared at him. "McGonagall wouldn't have believed Remus set that up even if Severus said so himself. She would have let him off and given us detention instead."

Remus groaned. It was true that all the professors had a soft spot for him. He felt Sirius tighten his hold again.

"Now I'll have to go on that awful date."

The Marauders stared silently at the dying fire, thinking of some sort of solution. Suddenly, James let out a laugh.

"I've got it! Oh, it's brilliant!"

The others smiled, and leaned in anxiously.

"No, no. It's too good for that! You'll have to wait and see it tomorrow!"

Remus gaped at his friend. "You can't be serious!"

James shrugged. "I'm not. I'm James, and that's Sirius." He shrank back into the couch from the intensity of both boys' glares.

"That's not funny James," Sirius said calmly. "Now please tell us what you have in mind."

"You'll just have to trust me on this one. I'll save Moony from his date tomorrow, and you'll thank me. But it needs to be a surprise for it to work properly."

Remus drummed his fingers nervously on the side of the couch. "Fine. As long as you get me away from that girl, then you can do whatever you want."

Sirius shrugged his acceptance of the plan. James grinned happily.

"Moony, Padfoot, why don't you go downstairs and get some dinner? We'll meet you down there, but I need to talk to Peter. Alone."

Sirius sighed dramatically and heaved himself off the couch, dragging Remus behind him. Once the portrait hole had closed again, Peter piped up.

"Is this going to get them together, too?"

James flashed a blinding smile at his friend. "Very clever, Wormtail. Yes, it is going to help. But first, we're going to need some help," James snickered as the portrait hole opened again and a girl stepped through, her arms loaded with books. "And I know just the girl for the job. Oh, Lily!"

The girl jumped at her name and the books spilled onto the red and yellow rug. James and Peter hurried to pick them up.

"What do you want, Potter?"

"Nothing, Lily, and please, call me James."

"I will not, Potter, and since you don't need anything I would like my books back."

Peter, always the nervous one, held out his armload to Lily. Before she could snatch them back, however, James had pushed Peter's arms aside.

"Now that you mention it, Evans, I do need something. See, I have these friends…"

Lily listened to James with growing curiosity. She had always watched the interactions between Sirius and Remus and had concluded that maybe they were more than 'just friends'.

"What do you need me to do?" She asked, still maintaining her cautious exterior. James's grin made her uneasy.

"I hear you're friends with Sniv- I mean, Severus."

"Yes, I know him. Why?"

"Well, Lily. You are about to experience first-hand just how brilliant I can be."
