Hello! I'm a bit down right now because I just got a horrible comment on my other story 'Unexpected sister'. So I hope I get some good feedback from you guys. Also to the people who take the time to write big long affensive comments. Why do you bother?

Anyway. I'm so so so, sorry I havn't updated for a while. I wontreally make an excuse it's because A) I'm lazy and B) I forgot. Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I'm starting in a new grade, YAY me!!!. Thankyou to the people who review on this story. It DOES make me write more.

I slouched back from practice completely exhausted. Captain McKinley was a seventh year and wanted to win the cup this year for his final year as captain. It was actually really stupid because Gryffindor has won the cup every year for the last decade. Before that Ravenclaw won and Slytherin got a few cups in. I seem to know a lot about this, don't I? James told me. I couldn't care less as long as I win the games I'm in.

As I reached the common room just behind Sirius and James. James went up the stairs to his dorm and Sirius flopped down in the last available seat.

I didn't feel like intimidating the little first years into giving me there chairs so I just flopped down on Sirius's lap, sideways with my feet reaching onto the arm of Remus's chair. He didn't even look up from his book. I sat there silently for a second before realizing something.

"Are you okay Remus? You look a bit sick." I said. He looked up with a weary smile.

"Oh I'm fine. Just didn't get enough sleep." He said and I almost believed him except that I had seen him with lack of sleep and it wasn't like this. I didn't push the subject and just made a mental note to ask James later.

"Alright." Then I moved around in Sirius's lap so I could face him a bit. "Is this weekend a Hogsmade visit?" I asked.

"Yea it is, why?" he said.

"Could you show me where Zonko's is? I know it's in Hogsmade but I haven't been there since I was eight years old. Also I don't want James to see what I buy." I said.

"Sure. I need some more of the classic Zonko stuff. I'm out of most of mine. I used it all up at your house getting James awake in the morning." He said. I laughed at the memory.

"Yea, who knew James could squeal like that?" I said.

The next day when I arrived at breakfast the first thing I noticed was that Remus was looking sicker than yesterday. He had dark shadows under his eyes that made him look like he hadn't slept in months. I sat down next to him instead of between James and Sirius. I instantly put my palm to his forehead.

"Remus your worse than yesterday. Are you sure you can still go to class?" I asked worriedly.

"Yes I'm sure I can go to class. I just can't get much sleep. I'm sure I'll be fine soon." He said.

I nodded worriedly then we left for class. In potions the marauders were talking in hushed voices so I just ignored them.

After the fifth time of catching them staring at me I was getting annoyed.

"Urgh they are so annoying." I ranted to Severus.

"I would watch out if I were you. They might end up pranking you." He said.

"You're probably right.. If they do prank me though, I'll kill them." I said.

Later when I was walking down the hall I heard voices whispering. I slowly sneaked up to where they were coming from.

"I don't want her involved in this." I recognized my brothers' voice say.

"I don't want her to be apart of it either but I think she is getting suspicious and after another few months here she will probably figure it out." I heard Remus say.

"Look, I don't want her involved as much as you guys but I think she should know. I mean she'll throw a fit if she has to figure it out. And she worries too much. It will draw attention. People will notice that you look sick because she points it out. We need to tell her." I heard Sirius say. God, Sirius was brilliant. He knew me too well.

Wait. I would get distracted if I keep thinking about him.

"I don't see why she can't know? I mean she could help." Peter said.

"Wormtail!." "NO!" "Idiot." All were shouted at him as reply.

"She is not helping. It's too dangerous." James ranted.

"Um… we should probably head off now. We can talk about this later." Remus said. Then I heard the sound of retreating foot steps.

I looked around the corner just as I saw them disappear into another passage way. I sighed. I would have to figure out what to do about them later.

I turned and hurried off to meet Severus. We had almost finished our potion.

I was so tired. The study and Quidditch was taking it's toll. Luckily the first match of the year was on the weekend. I had just finished the longest essay for Professor McGonagall. As my eyes began to wander, I spotted the trees moving over the forbidden forest. I wonder if it was the thestrals I heard that there were some in the forest.

Then I spotted a huge black dog by the edge of the forest. I blinked and leaned forward. Just as soon as it had appeared it was gone. I must be going crazy. It was like the other black dog I used to see but a lot bigger. Freaky. This school isn't what I wanted but it was starting to grow on me.

Now I just had to figure out my guy problem. Sirius was definitely the biggest thing for me but he was never going to go out with me. Severus secretly always wanted Lily but had given up on her as she was a Gryffindor and muggle born and…oh yea, she now hated his guts for a small mistake he made a while ago. He insulted her. Called her a Mudblood. Which is pretty bad but I know he didn't mean it. And anyway, I've called James worse and he doesn't hate me. Of course, he's my brother and is stuck with me for all of eternity.

The next morning Remus was worse again. I tried to pester him into going to Madam Pomfry, but no luck. He just has to be stubborn. He was sure it would go away soon and that he actually felt better than he looked. Yeah right. He looked like he'd been hit by a train…a few times.

I forced him to eat and then watched him carefully for the day.

I was going to figure out what was wrong with him if it killed me.

The next day he wasn't in classes. I figured he was finally taking my advice. James leaned on his arms on the desk slowly closing his eyes. Just as they fell closed and he looked peaceful. I poked him in the ribs. He jumped up.

"What the bloody hell was that?" he said to me angrily in my mind.

"Stop falling asleep. Why are you even so tired anyway?" I asked.

"Sorry, I had a long night okay? I'm tired." He said. I looked at his suspiciously.

"Why are you tired?" I asked. He groaned and rolled his head so it was facing the other side and Lily.

"I was doing stuff." Was all he replied and ignored me, closing the connection. Argh. Annoying brothers.
