Saturday fell upon Hogwarts with a Hallelujah. Whether it was time to catch up on homework, planning new pranks, or practicing Quidditch, the weekend was much needed.

Remus sat in the common room; working on his ancient ruins homework when an explosion of yelling coming from the hall out side interrupted him.

He rolled his eyes taking a correct guess as to what all the racket was about.

He stood up and walked to the door, throwing it open to see Rose and Sirius having a shouting match.

"I won't touch the fucking thing!" Sirius exclaimed to Rose. "Taking care of babies is a woman's job!" Sirius exclaimed

"Well grow some boobs and a vagina, cause I won't be taking care of it all the time!" Rose yelled.

Sirius and Rose glared at each other, not even noticing that Remus had opened the door.

Sirius broke the silence.

"Fine I'll help take care of Sirius Jr." Sirius said and began to turn around.

"There is no way in hell that we are naming it Sirius Jr." Rose said crossing her arms and giving Sirius a death glare. "We don't even have the baby yet. We don't even know if the baby is a boy! We have to get married first. But you honestly thought there was a chance I'd go for Sirius Jr?" Rose snorted.

"Sirius is a good name." Sirius said indignantly.

"The hell it is!" Rose threw her arms over her head.

"What's wrong with Sirius?" he asked.

"I can't stand Sirius Sr, why would I even think of naming a baby after him?" Rose said exasperatedly.

"Sirius Jr. will not be a girl."

"It could be! And we're not naming anything Sirius Jr.!"

"Well then fine Sirius is out, what are we going to name the damn kid?"

"I don't know!" she said angrily

"Well that's a good name, why didn't I think of that?!" Sirius said, laughing at his joke.

Rose rolled her eyes and walked off, fuming.

Sirius turned to Remus.

"Oh hey Moony…when did you get here?" he asked.

"Sirius, why are you arguing about the baby? You just got engaged like 2 days ago! You're supposed to be planning the wedding."

"Oh. Whoops."

James and Lily were sitting in their common room doing homework, trying to avoid the awkward silence that was present in the room. Occasionally one of them would strike up a conversation or ask a question about the homework, but other than that it was almost silence between them.

During one of the silences a loud pounding came from the door.

"Just a second." James said glancing over at Lily who shrugged. He walked over and opened the door and before he knew it, Rose was storming past him and plopping down onto one of the couches. James closed the door and sighed.

"How the hell are you friends with that bastard?!" Rose asked James.

"I assume you're talking about Sirius." James said returning to his seat.

"The hell I am!" she said

"Wait so who do you mean?" James asked confused about who she was talking about.

"Sirius!" she said.

"But…you…said!" James began

"Never mind what I said, Sirius is an arrogant childish pig headed bastard."

"You make no sense." James said sporting a confused look.

Rose glared at him.

"I already have half the marauders on my list, don't you get on there too." She said.

"Who else besides Sirius?" Lily butted in.

"Well you can't expect me to love Peter after trying to kill me, can you?" Rose said

"That is a valid point." Lily shrugged.

"Anyway…" Rose said, irritated. "Sirius is an idiot…obsessed with himself…IQ somewhere between a monkey and a rock…son of a mother fucking BASTARD!" Rose yelled knowing she didn't make much sense.

"I think you like him." James said, then, a few milliseconds later realized that what he said was a HUGE mistake.

"WHAT!"

"Never mind." He said hoping she'd forget about it, knowing she wouldn't.

"NO! You…I…FUCK!" she stormed off once again throwing the door open to reveal Meghan.

"Hey Rose."

"Hi," Rose said weakly, and left the room, while Meghan stepped in.

"How long have you been out there?" Lily asked.

"Well only a few minutes, I was gonna knock but figured I'd eavesdrop instead. And by the way James…that is the worst thing to say when a girl is fuming about a guy!" Meghan plopped down on the couch.

"I know." James said. "Now."

"So why are you here?" Lily said.

"I need to borrow James to help me practice."

"Sorry we need to go over some head stuff that'll take a little while." James said glancing at Lily.

"Damn it. Try outs are next week and I barely remember the game."

"I thought you said you've never played before." James said.

"Well…" Meghan began. "I've played before, yes, and I'm good, otherwise I wouldn't challenge Sirius. But it was a long time ago and I need to refresh my memory."

"Why haven't you told us before?" Lily asked

"Oh please, you two couldn't keep a secret even if you had no mouths." Meghan rolled her eyes.

"Yes we could!" Lily fought back.

"Oh come on, I know you, you…" she pointed to Lily, "…would strike up a casual conversation and it' would be dropped and eventually Sirius would be told, And you're even worse…" she pointed at James. "…You would tell Sirius right away." Meghan said.

James and Lily said nothing, knowing she was right.

"So you do know the game?" James broke the quick silence that fell amongst them.

"Well sort of I mean my aunt played for the Holyhead Harpies and she kind of taught me how to play when I was very young." Meghan began. "But I hardly remember the game and I definitely need to practice. Oh and you two can't tell anyone about this…ever!" Meghan warned them.

"Fine."

"Okay."

The two agreed.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door James got up and walked over to open it.

"I forgot my purse." Rose said grumpily as she dragged her feet along glaring at James the whole way.

"Oh Rose, is Gideon busy?" Meghan asked.

"Don't think so."

"Great, do you know where he is?"

"Library I think." Rose guessed.

"James, it'd be great if you could mention to Sirius that I'm practicing right now so he can stop by and watch and think I'm bad." Meghan said "But say nothing else!"

"UGGGGHHH! Don't even mention that name around me!" Rose exited the room.

"See you guys later." Meghan rushed out of the room and headed towards the library to ask Gideon to help her practice.

As soon as she left, James turned to Lily.

"So do you have a list?" he asked her.

"Excuse me?"

"A list like Rose's, you know a list of people who you hate, or even a list of people you'd go out with, have sex with."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm not Sirius!" Lily corrected him.

James laughed.

"Fine how about just the people you hate, or would go out with."

"Give me a good reason why I would do that?" Lily said getting back to her homework.

"Uhhhh…" he began

"Exactly." She laughed.

"We better get going on planning this thing for Halloween." James said.

"Wow, James Potter getting to work early?" Lily said in fake shock.

"Surprising I know, but hey, I'm a changed man." He said.

"Sure you are." Lily said sarcastically.

"Yeah I am, you've even said so yourself."

"No, you're right." Lily said. "I mean you haven't asked me out once this year or done more than ten pranks yet."

"Damn straight!" James said laughing. Lily joined.

Lily couldn't hope but notice exactly how much James had changed. She loved being around him and enjoyed their conversations.

As Meghan walked down to the Quidditch pitch with Gideon, Remus and Sirius began talking inside the Gryffindor common room.

"Do you really think Sirius is a bad name?" Sirius asked Remus

"In general no, for you, yes." Remus said leaning over homework.

"Why's it bad for me?" Sirius asked looking over a t Remus's paper trying to copy an answer down.

"Are you serious?" Remus asked

"Why yes I am." Sirius giggled like a little school girl at his overused joke.

"And there you go." Remus said getting back to his homework.

"There I go…where?" Sirius asked deciding to give up on doing his homework.

"There you go…that's the reason why the name Sirius is bad for you."

"Ohhh…I don't get it."

"Would you like me to spell it out for you?" Remus said on the verge of becoming irritated.

"Yes please."

"Okay your name is Sirius, ya with me so far?" Remus said. Sirius nodded, Remus continued. "It sounds like Serious meaning not funny, can I go on."

"I think I got it."

"You are anything but serious."

"But my name is Sirius so how can I be anything but Sirius?"

"WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?" Remus said throwing his arms up over his head.

"I'm just kidding ya, I knew what you were talking about all along." Sirius laughed.

Before Remus jumped across the table and strangled Sirius a paper airplane came flying into the room.

"Oh look it's a note from James!" Sirius said getting up and recognizing his friend's writing. "It says that Meghan's going down to practice with Gideon. I'm gonna go down and see how bad she really is." Sirius said after scanning the note.

Sirius waved goodbye to Remus and headed down to the Quidditch pitch. When he reached it he snuck into the stands and began to watch. He saw that she wasn't very good and began to get up and walk back to the castle when he saw something out of the corner of his eye.

"NO WAY!" Sirius exclaimed.

Meghan walked onto the pitch with Gideon with a box filled with the three types of balls in Quidditch. They set them down.

"How much do you already know?" Gideon asked, as he unlocked the chains on the box.

"I know how to do all the positions and all the balls; I just need to learn which one I'm best at." Meghan said. "And I will probably need a ton of practice when I do find the position I'm best at."

"Allright, do you remember which one you liked the best?" he asked.

"Nope." Meghan smiled "But not seeker because James is a seeker and there can't be two seekers on a team, you know that." She laughed.

He smiled.

"Okay so we'll work on beater today." He said. "Now I'll release a bludger…" he said waving his wand to create a hoop out of nowhere and making it hover. "You try and hit the bludger through the hoop. Ready?"

"Okay." Meghan said, noticing Sirius hiding behind a chair in the audience.

Gideon released the bludger and Meghan swung and hit it close to the hoop but missing on purpose. She smiled knowing that Sirius would be so surprised at tryouts.

Although knowing she could do it, she continued to miss. She saw Sirius stand up and look towards the castle. She took this as an advantage and swung at the bludger causing it to soar perfectly through the hoop.

Gideon took a few steps towards her and gave her a high five.

"Nice one Meghan I knew you could do it."

"So did I." Meghan smiled and thought to herself.

"Thanks for the help." She said "Maybe we can work on chaser another time?"

"Sure."

Meghan quickly hugged him to show her gratitude. Before she knew it he pulled her into a kiss.

Meghan pulled away within five seconds of the kiss and slapped him, hard, across the face.

"What the fuck!" she shouted as Sirius darted out of the stadium, Meghan knew it was to tell Rose.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"You're going out with my best friend, that's what's wrong." Meghan said.

"So? I like you." Gideon said.

She slapped him again.

"You don't just go cheating on girls! You pervert!"

"Fine then it's over between me and her." he said

"Uh…she doesn't know that."

"But you're so fun and pretty and sexy."

"So is Rose."

"Not the way you are."

"SHUT UP!" Meghan said walking away Gideon followed her.

She walked fast and entered the castle. Gideon caught up and grabbed her arm.

"We could keep it a secret."

"Well…now that you say that…uh…HELL NO!" she said and shook out of his grip and headed up the stairs to find Rose.

The Marauders minus Sirius walked into the area where this scene was going on.

"What's going on?" Peter asked

"I dunno." James said.

"You know as head boy, James, you should probably break this all up." Remus said.

"You're right. But I kinda wanna see what happens." James said shushing Remus.

Gideon grabbed Meghan's arm once again.

"Come on I know you want to." He said seductively

"No you want to, I want to do this." Meghan kneed Gideon in the balls and walked away passed the marauders who looked at her in shock, as did the other people who surrounded the scene.

Gideon collapsed to the floor in pain, grasping his crotch with his hands as if it would help.

The Marauders glanced at each other and quickly followed Meghan.

When they caught up to her they were slightly out of breath.

"What the hell was that?" James asked

"Go ahead and write me up for detention." She said, pleased with herself, but angry at the same time.

"Well I have to know why you did it first." James said trying to get some answered

"Yeah I mean you don't just knee a guy in the nuts for no reason." Peter said. "Or do you?" he motioned his hands to cover up his lower region.

"No I don't." Meghan chuckled.

"Then why'd you do it?" Remus asked as curious as the other two.

"He kissed me." Meghan said plainly.

"KISSED YOU!" the three boys exclaimed stopping in their path as Meghan kept walking, they caught up to her once more.

"But he's going out with Rose." Peter said. "Lucky…"

"Well not anymore I figure." James said, cutting off Peter for the sake of Peter's safety.

"I'm gonna kick his sorry ass!" Remus said.

"Didn't I already do that?" Meghan said.

"Yeah, but I feel one's not enough to get the message through his head." Remus said

"Well give the guy a little chance to recuperate from the last time this way it's more affective." Meghan said as she turned heading towards the Gryffindor common room.

Sirius walked quickly, heading to the Gryffindor common room to see Rose and tell her what he just witnessed. He pushed past people until he reached the portrait of the fat lady muttered the password and climbed through the door. The common room was empty. He figured she was upstairs in the girl's dorm but he couldn't go up there to check due to the spell that blocked boys from entering the girl's dorms.

He paced back and forth across the floor trying to figure out a way to talk to Rose.

The door swung open.

"LILY!" Sirius said. "I need your help; can you go get Rose upstairs in your old dorm?"

"Okay." She said a little confused at his tone. "…Although she probably, no, defiantly won't want to see you now."

"Just get her down here." Sirius said.

Lily nodded and headed up the stairs.

Only a few seconds past and Rose came down.

"Hey James, what's u…" she took one look at Sirius. "LILY! Damn it you said it was James." Rose began to turn around Sirius quickly blocked her

"I need to talk to you." Sirius said.

"I don't." she said trying to duck past him.

"No please, just listen."

"Sorry, no." She managed to duck around him and started heading up the stairs.

"I saw Meghan kissing Gideon." He closed his eyes, deciding to tell her straight forward.

Rose froze, and turned around. "Y-you what?"
