Disclaimer: We all know I own the universe, why bother denying it?

A/N this is shorter then the last one (thank goodness, my hands are going to fall off soon!) which leaves the question: why am I writing this now, when I've just finished the last one? The reason: I'm getting such a positive response!!! Please read and review: P

Discussions and faints and Potter…

We all sat down on the red and gold couches, me in an arm chair, Lily on a couch to my right, and Remus on a chair to her right. We could still see Sirius through the window, now he was scaring the little kids by pretending to fly. Idiot. So we were all in a semi-circle facing the fire.

"Hey Remus," Lily started (oh dear!) "Do you know Em? Emmaline Vance? You know, long brown hair, tall…?" When Remus nodded she continued, "She's in your Defense Against the Dark Arts class, yeah?" now I'm really concerned. Oh look, unless I'm very much mistaken, Moony's going pink! Lily looked at me and I nodded. It was almost as though she was asking if I'd noticed he was pink. Like I could miss it!

"Yes she is. Very clever…" Moony said in reply to Lily's question about whether or not he knew Em. He mumbled something but unfortunately as he said 'clever', Lily amplified his voice so we heard what else he said.

"…Clever and beautiful." That's what he said! If I thought he was pink before, it's nothing to his colour now! Then he buries his face in his hands (not unlike Lily and my chest earlier, I couldn't help but think).

"Oh dear, what have I done? But it wouldn't work," he went on quickly, "Em deserves a normal boy, not a werewolf." Remus finished bitterly. Moony is very self-conscious. I look at Lily.

"But who wants normal?" she asks. "Em wouldn't care, you'd have to tell her sometime, but she wouldn't care." Lily always knows what to say, its one of the qualities I love about her, and one of the reasons I want to marry her. I feel sorry for her, she's so nice, but guys keep screwing up with her. I just won't tell her the Marauders are a "mysterious force". Because that would screw up our friendship, which would suck.

Anyway, Remus is looking (well glancing) at me, and is saying

"So if you went out with someone, and they had a very big secret. What would you do? Like if it was illegal and they shouldn't do it but they had good intentions? When would you want to be told and when would you tell them if it was you doing the illegal act?" Remus asked, still glancing at me. Ok, ok I'll listen! Geesh!

"Well, if I was doing something illegal… I'd want to be able to trust him. I'd want a secret from him, one that carries the same weight. If I trusted him, a month into the relationship. If he had a secret, I'd give him a month, or else what else could he be hiding?" Geez Lily talks fast!

"Remus, could I have a private word or two?" Lily says, giving me a Look.

"Well I can tell when I'm not wanted, unlike Padfoot!" Oh crap! Time for me to run away!

Lily's mind children!!

"Remus, you can tell Em, she likes you too you know!" Here I smirk and put a Silencing Charm on the door. I hear a soft groan from behind the door. James needs to stop eavesdropping! Remus looks happy and relieved, then worried.

"Look," I say, "its Halloween soon, I get James to plan a ball and you can ask her to that if you like. Like if you're nervous about asking." Hmm… a ball could be a bit of work, but meh. The good thing about being a witch is I can plan a ball for next to nothing so I can have this one and a Christmas one! But I'll have to make this one a fancy dress one…

"Why did you keep glancing at James?" I mean he's not even 17 yet, what kind of illegal things could anyone do by the time they're 17?! Maybe its coz he had something around his mouth? No, he didn't… I mean, not that I checked or anything!

"Glancing? What are you talking about?" Remus replies easily. Maybe I was imagining? No, he was definitely glancing at him. Cue Lily Evans Glare.

"No Lily, the Evans Glare won't work on me," Remus said laughing softly.

"If you'd done something like this, would you tell someone you hardly know? I mean, yeah, you have basically lived together for 6 years," cue my shudder, "but you don't know James. You said it yourself, if you really trusted someone, and only if you'd been going out for a month, then and only then would you tell them. How can you expect James to tell you, or me to betray James to tell you? That's a double standard Lily." Damn Remus. How can he always… say the right words? I feel like he looks straight into my heart, I hate that! Idiot.

"Ok fair enough," I say, recognizing defeat, "so do we let monkey boy back in?" I ask. Remus chuckles and I told a portrait to go get Em and Sirius (who should be down by now). I then lifted the silencing charm on the door and opened it with another wave of my wand. James Potter literally fell through the open door! This sight caused Remus and me to crack up laughing!

"I meant to do that! I meant to do that!" James said repeatedly. How this guy got as many OWLs as I did, I'll never know. But I do know that he wakes up at like 5am to do homework, I assume because that gets rid of the appearance of doing homework. Thinking about it, I can't really remember him ever getting in trouble for not doing his homework. Humph! Oh well, at least it got done.

"James, graceful as always. I was wondering could we have a ball for Halloween? I mean it could be fun…" Wait, what about Remus?

"Wait, what about Moony? When's the full moon in October?" James says.

Oh

Merlin's

Saggy

Underwear.

I just thought the same thing as James Potter!

"Lily? Lily are you ok? Lily? LILY!" This is the last thing I hear before I faint.

A/N: Ok, does anyone want to know what happens to poor Lily? Hope you enjoyed it! Please read and review: P
