Hey guys. Ahhh, no chapters in a long time! I know, it volleyball season and it's really hard for me to update. Today is the first day in a long time that I've been able to do what I want. It feels good too! So, here's episode 9. Sorry about the song in the last chapter thing. So, according to all my friends, there are still typos even after I edit this. DARN! I'm working really hard at getting those. So, without further ado, episode 9.
Last time on Everyone Has Secrets...
"Quidditch Shinglton?" Jason called.
Vanessa stopped walking and turned around.
"Didn't think you were found of flying."
Vanessa closed her eyes and sighed.
"Why do you keep bothering me?" She asked.
Jason gave a chuckle.
"I'm a bother? What's wrong with trying to talk to a friend?"
Vanessa turned and kept walking.
Jason ran to catch up.
"Seriously," Jason reasoned. "I mean…"
"I'd not qualify us as friends anymore," Vanessa cut in.
"What?"
"Look, I hardly know you anymore and I think you could say the same," She said.
"It's not like…"
"You haven't seen me since I was 13! Six years! You haven't talked to me in six years!" Vanessa cried.
"Why?" Jason asked.
"What?"
"Why are you shunning people out?" Jason asked again.
"I'm not…"
"Yeah, you are. Look at how you treat your roommate. What's her name? Lily. She may not know you well, but you can tell she cares. Me. Even if I haven't seen you in six years, I still want to talk to you," Jason explained. "It's like you want people to repel against you," Jason said.

"Having girl problems eh?" Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Yeah sort of. Ok, so there's Kendra. And dude, she's amazing. She's nice and smart…"
"Beautiful?"
"Beautiful! Gorgeous! She's amazing. But she's a year older than me," James finished.
"Yeah. But then there's Lily. Now, I've know Lily since I was eleven."
Does either like you?"
"Kendra probley does. Even if it's a little. But Lily, I think she'll only see us as enemy's putting their differences behind them. Nothing more."
"Well, you'd be surprised."

"I'm….gonna go take a shower. Or would you not suggest that right now," Lily asked.
"I'm going to bed," She said, blowing out her candles and placing them on the desk.
She hesitated a bit then said, "You can use cinnamon and orange scented candles, if you want. For your pores…"
Lily smiled.
"You know what? I think I'll try that."

"Peter Pettigrew?"
"Yeah. You know him?" Lily asked.
"Oh. No, my father just talks about a Pettigrew and his son wasn't to get a job at the ministry or something," Liam said.
"Oh. I see," Lily would have to ask the boys on how Peter was doing next time she saw them.
XXXXXXXX
"Well, not really. I want to help the world. I want to be fighting danger and making a difference in the world," James explained.
"Wow, dude, that's deep," Liam said. "But I guess that's cool too."
"Yeah, wish my father could see that," James muttered.
Episode 9- Shut Up and Kiss Me
In no time, everyone got into the swing of things. The students knew which teacher would give them the most homework on Fridays, which homework you could do right before class started and which teacher you could write, "Ha ha! Didn't do it!" and you'd get a 100 on the paper.
James often thought about what Dumbledore had said. He prodded and picked and stifled through their conversation, trying to pick up clues. But nothing came.
Lily and Liam were becoming close friends. They were often found debating over something, though. Liam had a lot of great ideas, but Lily often disagreed with them. Lily wondered why Liam hadn't become a politician rather than doing what he's up to now.
As for Remus, his nerves where not dying down anytime soon. Sirius taught Remus pick-up lines and how to act towards Lauren. It didn't help that she was a year older. Yes, Remus did have a girlfriend before, but she was never older and smart. Sirius didn't see the problem with Lauren being a year older than Remus, (that's what he thought the problem was about) but that wasn't his biggest fear.
The month of October came to an end, and Halloween came near. Sirius felt as if the University wasn't "feelin' the spirit" of the holiday.
"Mr. Black, do I dare ask as to what you are doing?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Professor, I don't think the students here are feelin' the spirit that Halloween brings," Sirius said as he cut out the insides of the pumpkin. He was sitting out on the lawn of the college grounds.
"Hey Padfoot! What face should I put on the front of my pumpkin?" James asked. He walked over towards Sirius, pumpkin in hand.
"Mr. Potter?"
"Oh, professor. Hi, come to carve a pumpkin with us?" James asked.
"Us?"
"Well, yeah. Me, Sirius, Remus, Lily and Liam. We did ask Vanessa, but she said she'd rather soak in baked beans than carve a pumpkin. Talk about crazy but, whatever," James said.
"Miss. Evans too?" McGonagall asked.
Just then, Lily walked towards the guys with her pumpkin.
She froze, "Oh, hi Professor McGonagall," Lily said, turning red.
"I can't believe this. I would have figured that you would have grown out of this already…" McGonagall started rambling.
"But Professor, you can't do anything to us because we're not doing anything wrong," Sirius reasoned.
"Well, I guess you're right. Just, pick up after yourselves," she said. With that, Professor McGonagall let them be.
Lily looked after her worriedly.
"Oh, Lily, don't worry. You should only worry about which face you're gonna do on your pumpkin," Sirius said.
Lily sighed but sat down anyway. Soon, Liam and Remus joined them and they all started carving out their pumpkins.
James was scraping the insides so quickly, that he accidentally flung some at Sirius.
"Prongs!" Sirius cried. He scoped up some pumpkin goop and flung it at James.
Lucky for James, he was expecting that and ducked. Unfortunately, it hit Liam.
"All right. That's it," Liam said. Right then, everyone started throwing pumpkin goop at each other.
About an hour later, the five of them all walked in the school, covered in pumpkin goop.
"I'm going to shower," Lily said.
"Actually, I was thinking that we should just walk around like this for the rest of the day," James said.
"I'd agree, 'cept, we have to change into our costumes," Sirius said.
Lily and Remus rolled their eyes.
"Are we really going to do that? Because, that would be sweet," he said with a smile. "I mean, dressing up."
"Of course! And Remus would dress up as the wolf man!" Sirius exclaimed.
Remus glared at him.
"What! I thought it was funny," Sirius said in an undertone.
"Well, whatever we plan on doing, we better do it quick, we still have to tell people about the costume party," James said.
"I don't think we should have the party today. I mean, both Liam and James have their first Quidditch game tomorrow and a Marauder's party doesn't end at ten," Remus reasoned.
"Oh Lily, Lily, Lily. Don't be such a worry wart," Sirius said, as he put his pumpkin covered arm across Lily's shoulders. "James and Liam will have a great time tonight, and an even greater game tomorrow. This'll all work out," Sirius assured.
"Alright, well, I'm gonna go get ready and convince Vanessa to come," Lily said, taking her leave.
"Alright men, let's get to work!"
pqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
Lily walked into her dorm.
"Good lord, do you smell," Vanessa commented.
"I didn't know," Lily said sarcastically. "Anyway, the guys are throwing a costume party. You don't have to wear a mask or go with someone. Just show up with a costume on," Lily said.
"I think I'm a little old for costume parties," Vanessa said.
"I think your friend will be there. Jason, I think is his name," Lily said.
"All the more reason not to go," she said, flopping down on her bed.
"Oh well, I really think you should go. It'd be fun," Lily said trying to convince her.
"No, not gonna happen."
"I'm sure that you could miss one night on your ritual stuff. I mean, you should have some fun in your life," Lily tried again.
"Sitting here and watching you convince me is also fun," She said with a coy smile.
Lily heaved a sigh.
Vanessa just winked.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"Hey Moony," Sirius said.
"Hey Padfoot."
"So, guess what I found out," Sirius said in a sing-song voice.
"I give up," Remus mimicked.
"Oh, come on. You didn't even guess."
"I don't need to. Whatever you're going to…"
"Lauren's gonna be there!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Lauren who?" Remus asked, clueless.
Sirius rolled his eyes.
"Reed. Lauren Reed. Get with the program. Now, you're wondering how I know this."
"Actually…no…"
"'Cause, I asked her personally!" Sirius exclaimed, as if his plan was so brilliant. "I told her that a certain special someone would be waiting for her in a werewolf costume."
"Sirius! I told you, I'm not going as a werewolf," Remus stressed.
"Then what are you going as?" Sirius questioned.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"You've got to be KIDDING me!" Sirius cried.
"Nope. 100 no-kid," James said with a smile.
He was holding up a costume that resembled one of the three musketeer outfits.
"Come on. The Three Musketeers are widely known and respected. Plus, it's better than the Three Amigos," Remus reasoned.
"Well, just so you all know, I'm not wearing the beards and crap," Sirius snapped.
James clapped his hands together.
"Great! It's settled. Now hurry up and get changed so we can get the party started!"
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
Lily entered the lounge. A lot of people where already there. All the lights were out except for the few flashing laser lights and disco ball. (This was very random, if Lily had to say.) The D.J was in front of the fireplace, busting tunes, while the drink and food table was against the other wall. All the couches were pushed aside so people could still use them (like the people using them right now) but they were out of the way for the people wanting to dance.
Lily found James over at the drink table. He was stocking up on drinks.
"Nice party," Lily called.
James spun around, causing his hat to fall off. He blushed slightly.
"Oh, Lily. Thanks," he said.
"I think it's better than that one with the second years," Lily said.
"Well, I do try hard," he said with a smile.
"So, are you a…Musketeer?" Lily asked.
"Yeah. And you're…"
"Some butterfly faerie thing," Lily said with a chuckle.
She wore a leaf looking skirt that was yellow, lined with a light green. The top was bra shaped, covered with green leaves while purple/blue tiny flowers were scattered. Her hair was pulled back on one side by another purple/blue flower and her see-through wings glistened in the light.
"Where's the rest of your crew?" Lily asked.
"Off and about somewhere," James said. "They won't be hard…"
"Hey Lily! Lookin' good Potter," Liam said, greeting them with a smile.
"Are…are you a vampire?" Lily asked.
"The one and only. You must be some sort of a princess, eh?" Liam questioned.
"Something along those lines," Lily answered.
"Care to dance?" he asked.
"Alright. I'll see you around, James. Save a dance for me," she said.
"Most definitely."
Liam and Lily walked over to the crowd of people.
Not even after 5 minutes of dancing, Lily was warm. She was glad that she had picked a costume like she had.
After a while, Liam went and got drinks for them.
"I got you some Butterbeer. Don't want to start the night off drunk do we?" Liam said with a chuckle.
Just then, someone in a tight black jumpsuit with ears and a tail, bumped into Lily, causing her to spill her drink.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" It was Kendra.
"Oh, you're Lily, right? James' friend?" she asked.
"Yeah…"
"Well, have you seen him?" she asked.
"No, not all night," Lily lied.
"Well, if you see James, would you tell him I'm looking for him.
"…Sure," Lily said while crossing her fingers behind her back.
"Thanks. I'll see you around," Kendra said.
Lily rolled her eyes.
"How do you know Kendra?" Liam asked.
"You know her too?"
"Well, yeah. Her parents and my parents are like, best friends."
"So, you two hang out a lot?" Lily asked.
"No. She's older than me," Liam said.
"She's only a year older.'
"Yeah, try 3 years. She was held back a year as a freshman in college, but her boyfriend was a year older. So, she became friends with his friends too. She should be a 3rd year now, and her boyfriend would be a 4th year. In other words, she knows everyone," Liam concluded.
"She was born in '58?"
"'57. June 17th. Personally, I feel that she's a tease. A bloody tease."
"Yeah, she's….she's not my cup of tea," Lily said.
"She's even hit on me before. But, James might be the key that will turn her round."
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
Remus was walking through the crowd of people. He had lost Sirius about 30 minutes back when he'd found a hot blond princess.
"Remus? Remus Lupin?" a voice shouted over the music.
Remus spun around and came face to face with Lauren Reed.
"Oh, hi," Remus said. It seemed to be getting really hot in the room. He was wearing too many layers.
"This party is pretty wicked," she said. "So, let me guess, you're a musketeer?" she said.
"No one has guessed wrong yet," Remus said with a smile. "And you're…"
"A gypsy. I couldn't think of anything else," she said with a chuckle.
"No, that's a pretty cool costume. Pretty original," Remus said.
"Thanks."
"Um, you want to get something to drink?" Remus asked.
"That would be lovely."
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"James Potter. If I didn't know better, I would say that you are trying to avoid me," Kendra said, approaching James.
"Oh. Sorry. I've been very busy. Ya' know. With the food and stuff," James said.
He was standing at the food table, filling the trays with more treats. James noticed that Kendra was dressed in a tight black jumpsuit, making her look like a cat. The black ears and tale confirmed his suspicions.
"Oh, come on. Everyone can wait for food. Come dance," she said, grabbing his hand.
Kendra found a spot in the middle of the dance floor. The two started dancing (not as intensely as they had the night a couple of weeks ago.)
After many hours of dancing, Sirius announced the last dance of the night.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, seeing as Halloween is almost over with, I'm gonna play one last song for you all," Sirius announced. "This is the time when I want all my boys out there to get with their lady for a slow song."
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
The music started up. Liam left the party, unexpectedly, so Lily was left to wander around.
She found James dancing with Kendra.
"Go figure. So much for "saving a dance," with me," Lily murmured.
She started heading for the door.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
James started to break away from Kendra.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Well, it's just, I promised Lily a dance…"
"And you have to do it right now?"
"Well, I'd like to."
"Look, she's walking away…"
James didn't hear the rest of what Kendra said, for he started walking towards Lily.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
Lily opened the door to exit the lounge.
"Lily! Lily, wait up!" Lily heard a voice cry.
She turned around to see James running towards her.
"James? what do-? What's going on?" Lily asked.
"Um…would…would you like to um…share this dance, this last dance? With me?" he stuttered.
Lily broke out into a smile. "I'd love to," she answered.
James took her hand and led her out to the dance floor. She slowly brought her hands up onto his shoulders. While James gently rested his hands on Lily's waist.
They danced for a little bit and then Sirius passed by. He smiled a knowing smile and winked at James.
James just rolled his eyes.
"What?" Lily asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just Sirius being a jerk," James said.
"Ok," Lily said with a smile.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
5 minutes ago…
Remus was wandering around. Some other guy had asked Lauren to dance, so Remus was left to wander. A lot of girls had come up to him, asking him to dance,(probably mistaking him as James or Sirius) and he had even danced with a couple, but Lauren was the one on his mind. Of course, Sirius wasn't real thrilled about that…
"Moony! Where's your bird?" Sirius asked.
"Ok, she's not my…bird. But, some guy asked her to dance," Remus explained.
"And you let her go?"
"Well, yeah. What was I supposed to do? Say, "Hey, she's mine and you can't have her?" Remus said sarcastically.
"Something along those lines, yeah," Sirius said, wide eyed. "See, you'd approached the situation like so, "Well, I guess you could have a dance, but don't forget to save one last dance for me," and then you walk away."
"Just walk away?"
"Yup, cuz then, that whole time that she's dancing with that guy, she's thinking, "Hum, wonder what it'd be like to have Remus hold me. How would my dancing be next to Remus? See, it's all focused around you." Sirius explained.
"Ahhh, I see."
"So, you go find Lauren!"
Remus rolled his eyes. He heard Sirius make his announcement…
"…out there get with their lady for a slow song."
Everyone in the room seemed to move in. There was a couch some ways down, with Lauren sitting there.
Remus was surprised, but brushed it aside and came up with something cocky to say as he walked over there.
"Why is such a beautiful young…gypsy sitting all by ones self?" Remus said, trying to imitate an old English man.
She turned and smiled.
"Because gypsy's dance partner likes chicks with big boobs," Lauren said.
Remus nodded his head knowingly.
"Would fair lady care to dance?"
"She would love to," Lauren answered.
She held out her hand, and Remus pulled her up and onto the dance floor. Lauren latched her hands behind Remus' neck, while he tenderly placed his on her waist.
She smiled at him.
Remus' knee's turned to jelly, causing him to accidentally step on Lauren's foot.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so, so, so so sorry," Remus gushed.
She chuckled, "It's ok. I'm fine. Don't worry."
"Are you sure? Geez, I'm a klutz."
"You're so cute when you're nervous," she said with a smile.
Remus turned a crimson color.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"You know, this truely is an awesome party. And the best part of it is…no teacher, barging in and stopping the fun," Lily said.
James gave a chuckle.
"I know, it is nice."
Both James and Lily lapsed into a silence, filled with there own thoughts.
"Nervous about the game tomorrow?" Lily asked.
"What? Oh, no. Well, I don't know. Kinda. I mean, not as nervous as I was during try-outs," James said.
"You know, this is totally off subject but, we should go to Hogsmead some time. I really do miss the Hogwarts visits," Lily said.
"Just…you and me?"
"Well, I suppose. Or, everyone. You, Remus, Sirius and me, whatever fits," she answered.
"That's a good idea," James said with a smile.
"Well, you know, I'm just full of ideas."
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
Lauren stepped in closer to Remus and laid her head on Remus chest. She sighed.
"Mmm, you're warm," she commented. "Plus you smell good."
Remus was finding it very hard to stand right now.
qpqpqpqpqqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqppqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"Ok, everyone. Let's start the count down till midnight! 10…9," Sirius cried.
"What is this? New Years?" Lily asked.
James just chuckled and shook his head.
"6…5…"
"Should we join in?" Lily questioned.
"…4…"
"Why not!"
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"…3…"
Lauren turned and looked at Remus. Remus got caught in her blue, sparkling eyes.
"…1!" Sirius cried.
Just then, balloons and confetti fell from the ceiling and the water sprinklers went off.
Lauren leaned in and kissed Remus on the cheek.
He just staired wide eyed.
"I've had a lot of fun tonight," she said in his ear.
Remus just nodded his head.
"Would you…walk me back to my dorm?" she asked.
"Um…"he looked over as Sirius who was attached to some blond on one of the couches.
"Yeah, no problem."
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"…1!"
All the people around Lily and James started kissing. She wasn't sure if James would appreciate that, so she pulled him into a huge.
The lights went on and the balloons confetti and water stopped falling.
Lily pulled out of the huge and looked around.
"You guys have one hell of a mess to clean up," Lily commented.
People started slowly heading for the exit.
"I'll see you around James," Lily said.
"What! You're not gonna help?" James asked.
Lily gave a smirk. "You're on your own there." And with that she left the room.
James sighed. He looked over at Sirius.
"Padfoot! Padfoot come on," James said, clapping his hands together.
"Hey Potter," Kendra said. She slinked up to him.
"Do you think that you could take me back to my dorm?" she asked.
"Um…sure," James said.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
Remus and Lauren walked down the hallways. Lauren grabbed Remus' clammy hand.
"Um…I…um," Remus stammered.
He knew that he should say something. Anything.
"I like the smell of coconut," Remus blurted out.
Lauren chuckled. Remus could have slapped himself.
"You're so funny."
He tried again.
"So, um, what…whatcha' studying?" Remus tried.
"Oh, I want to be a healer. It takes a long time to become one, but I should finish a year early because I was placed in advanced."
"I'm in advanced to!" Remus said. What am I? A dufus! "Um…so….you're taking…"
"Well, potions. Obviously, charms, for some reason. Um…transfiguration. So if I need to transfigure something, I can. Plus, I had to take a year of Defense Against the Dark Arts so I could recognize symptoms."
"What types…of symptoms?"
"Oh you know. Um…like werewolfs for example. I can recognize the side effects when the full moon comes round. Stuff like that."
"You…you can detect stuff like that?" Remus asked, nervously.
"Yeah. I know, I'm a blond and shouldn't be…"
"No! That's not what I meant. Sorry."
"Oh, that's alright. Oh wait. This is me," Lauren said, pointing to her dorm.
"You know Remus," she started, "This has been such a brilliant wonderful night. We should do it again soon."
Remus just nodded his head.
Lauren leaned in and kissed Remus on the cheek again.
"Good night, Remus," She said, opening her dorm door.
"Good night…Lauren."
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"So, you nervous about the game tomorrow?" Kendra asked.
"Kind of. It's just another English team. The South Side, or something like that," James said.
I'm sure you'll do great," she said with a smile.
"Yeah, but it doesn't help that I'm not going to be getting a good night's sleep," James added.
Kendra stopped walking.
"I take it that this is your dorm" James asked.
"Yeah," she answered. Kendra took both of James' hands into her own. "Thanks for such a wonderful evening. I definitely think that was the best Halloween party ever," she said with a smile.
"Oh, thanks."
With that, Kendra put her right hand behind James' head and kissed him full on the lips.
James could have sworn that the entire world had stopped. Even his own body. And there was Kendra, kissing him, while he stood there, not doing anything about it.
Kendra broke apart, much too soon for James' liking.
"See you at the game," she said in that silky voice.
Kendra walked into her dorm and closed the door.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"Where the hell have you two been?" Sirius asked when Remus and James both walked into the lounge.
"I've been in here cleaning all by myself," Sirius complained.
"I walked Lauren back to her dorm," Remus said.
"Who is this Lauren girl that you two keep talking about?" James asked.
"Remus has a crush on a 2nd year," Sirius answered with a smile.
"Really?" James asked, his voice mischievously sly.
"Yeah. He danced almost all night with her too."
"It was nothing big though," Remus assured.
"Mate, this is HUGE. This is the first time I have really seen you come out of your shell," Sirius said. "So, James, you walked Lily back?" he asked.
"What? No, I took Kendra back," James said.
"WHAT? You were supposed to take Lily back!" Sirius cried.
"Yeah, but this was out of a romantic thing, sort of. Lily and I are just friends," James said.
"Yeah, and it's gonna stay that way if you don't make a move," Sirius snapped.
"Whatever," James started picking up garbage.
"You know, we should go to Hogsmeade one of these weekends," Remus said.
"Yeah, we could all get dates and stuff," Sirius said. "Did Lauren say anything about Hogsmeade?" Sirius asked.
"No, nothing."
"Well, if she suggests going as a group, turn that down and ask her if she would go with just you. Guarantee she'll say yes," Sirius said, a smug smile on his face.
"How do you know?"
"Because…when a girl asks to go somewhere, liking in a group, she really wants to be alone with you. She just doesn't want to ask. She wants you to ask her.
James froze.
"You know, we should go to Hogsmeade some time. I really do miss the Hogwarts visits."
"Hey guys," Lily said, walking into the room. "So like, I'm walking back to my dorm and I'm like, I really should go help. Especially since James has a big game tomorrow," Lily explained. She started to help clean up.
"Cool," Sirius said.
"Speaking of the game," Remus said as he also started picking up trash, "Pete said he'd meet us, so he could watch you play," Remus said, directing his last comment towards James.
"Great!" Sirius exclaimed.
Lily thought back to her conversation with Liam.
"Peter Pettigrew?" Lily asked.
"The one and only," Sirius responded.
"How's he doing? Did he get that job at the ministry?" Lily asked.
"Job at the ministry? Pete's not working there," James said.
"But, isn't he trying to get a job there? His dad was helping him." Lily questioned.
"Peter's dad has been dead for 5 years. He didn't go to school this year because he wanted to help his mom out," Remus explained.
"That's not what Liam said," Lily said.
"Well, I just talked to Peter today," Remus said.
Now Lily was left with the question, why did Liam lie?
Bum bum bum bum!
Ok, once again, no quotes or whatever from next times episode, but here's what will happen...
Next Time on Everyone Has Secrets...
It's the first Quidditch match of the season. With Kendra trying to hook up with James, some of Lily's emotions finally slipping out, Liam trying to hook up with Lily and Sirius birthday that day, things will get a little crazy...
