1Hello PEOPLE!!! I have finally updated! But go easy on me I know it's not quite as long as the others but I've been pretty busy. You wouldn't believe how hectic High school is. And then there was a new cycle a few days ago, which means a completely different schedule, teachers and classes. Ugh! High school sucks sometimes. And besides that I read over my first draft and I had to take a lot of it out. So its a lot shorter than usual by I think three pages. But enough of me On with the story!
Ah, yes I dedicate this capter to my good friend Bananas Lupine! Lupine YOU ROCK!
Disclaimer : Dude, No I don't own Harry Potter! J.K Roling does, duh!

We slept in on account that it was Saturday . When I finally woke up Remus was already up and showered. "G'moring Remus," I greeted him sleepily.
"Good morning Peter," He replied. I looked over at Sirius's bed and saw half his body hanging off of the bed.
"I see Sirius isn't up yet." I commented. I got up off the bed. "Have you gone down to breakfast yet " I asked him looking through my drawers for some clothes.
"No I'm not particularly looking forward to facing Lily and her friends. Though I suppose we should go and check on James," Remus said thoughtfully. I nodded in agreement. I went to the bathroom and took a shower, brushed my teeth. I came back out fully dressed to find Remus sitting on his bed studying, of course, and Sirius asleep in his bed. I went over to my bed and put my clothes away. I heard noises coming from behind the door to the dormitory. I think Remus heard the noise too because he was starring at the door avidly.
"Calm down Lily," I heard Jo say.
"Yeah, I'm sure that it'll clear up by tomorrow," Liz added.
"Just wait until I see Potter again, ugh! Now he goes to pick on Snape again. Did you see the look on Snape's face?" Lily said angrily. "He looked so hurt, I can not believe someone could be heartless enough to hurt someone like that!"
Remus looked at me. Our eyes met and I sighed. Suddenly the door banged open and Liz came in followed by Jo. To my surprise Lily wasn't with them.
"Look, we need to talk," Liz said
"Lily is about to turn Potter into a tea cozy"Jo cried out.
Sirius woke up with a start. When he saw the girls he pulled the covers up and cried out "Bloody hell! What are you two doing here?"
"Oh, please, Black" Liz said rolling her eyes "What are you trying to hide. You've shown your body to practically half the population of girls at Hogwarts, why act different around us?"
Sirius opened his mouth and closed it several times before saying "It was only half the population of pretty girls here."
Jo glared at him. "You are so stupid."
"We're here out of the kindness of our hearts to warn you that Lily will kill you and Potter," Liz said dramatically.
"Okay tell us something we don't already know," Sirius said.
"Believe me, this is not a joke," Jo said.
"Oh, we know we already know what to do when Lily blows up." I said.
"Yes, James actually looks forward to hearing her scream," Remus said.
"It's the only time James hears her scream out his name, although I doubt she's screamed out anyone's name yet," Sirius said smiling at the girls. Both Liz and Jo had looks of disgust on their faces.
"You are so crude, Black," Liz said in disgust
"You are so Perverted, what goes on in your mind?" Jo said wrinkling her nose in revulsion
"Only you my dear," Sirius said cheekily.
Liz shook her head and stormed off. Jo followed her.
"Well, that was interesting," Remus said after the door closed.
'I'll say," I muttered
"That was fun," Sirius said letting the covers drop.
"You think it's fun to rile up the girls?" I asked amused.
Sirius nodded and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt out of the pile on the floor. "I'm going to take a shower," Sirius announced.

About a ½ hour later all three of us were on our way to the hospital wing. We pushed the door open to find a near empty hospital wing. James was propped up on his pillows.
"Prongsie!" Sirius yelled out and punching his shoulder.
"Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail! What took you guys so long?" He asked us.
"Oh, we got a little held up this morning, Sirius here slept in and got the girls all riled up in the process," Remus said lightly.
"Huh?" James asked arching his eyebrow.
"Well Sirius didn't wake up-"
"And when he did the girls were in there talking about Lily-" I added but was cut off by James.
"Please, don't mention that name," He said.
"What? Lily?" Sirius asked.
"Yes."
"Why?"
" You want to know why?" James asked throwing his hands in the air. "I'm done, finished, finer, finite, no more, no way."
"Your done what?" I asked thickly.
"I'm done trying to catch her attention. I'm done waiting on my knees hoping she'll give me a glance, I'm done groveling at her feet! I'm through with being her lovesick puppy dog! I'm sick of thinking that she'll give me a chance, when it's obvious she's not!" James said his face flushing with his anger. His hazel eyes flashed in annoyance. "In, short boys, I'm through with her."
Sirius snorted. "Yeah, right, I'm sure your done."
"Believe it," was all James had to say.
Then Madame Pomfrey bustled over carrying a huge goblet. It was a purple color. Steam was still ensuing from it, and it smelled a lot like gasoline.
"Here, Mr. Potter . Make sure you drink all of it this time. Don't think I didn't see you vanish the last one."
"Is that why this one's twice as big?" James commented taking the goblet. He stared at her. She stared back.
"Well," She asked waiting. James sighed and took a sip. He grimaced but continued to drink the potion until he had finished it. Once Madame Pomfrey took the goblet James let out a loud burp and said "That was horrible,"
"Say it, don't burp it," Remus said waving away the stench while Sirius laughed.
"Now, if you don't wish to take the potion anymore I suggest you don't get into anymore duels," Madame Pomfrey called to James after rinsing out the goblet.
Sirius laughed at this. "Yeah, this'll be the last time you James Potter will get into a duel." Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius.
Remus then looked at James. "Are you sure you're alright?" he asked. James nodded.
Sirius just pretended to sniffle.
"What are you sniffling about?" James asked irritated.
"It's just Jamesie, your growing up so fast," Sirius hiccuped. " I thought this day would never come."
Remus smiled a bit and joined Sirius. "Alas, It seems our James has finally overcome lilitus."
I think he meant that James was addicted to Lily, or something I'm not completely sure, I shook my head, in laughter.
"You think it's funny do you?" James asked us angrily. I stared at him mutely. "You think it's funny that she looks at me like I'm the worst infestation she has had the misfortune to look on?" James asked angrily.
We all stared at him.
"James, I didn't mean anything," Remus said.
"Yeah I know," James said sighing. I simply stared at him. "I, I think you guys should go," James said looking away from us. He looked sad and ashamed.
"James, if there's anything-" I began
"Yeah Peter, I know." James said not looking at me. Remus bit his lip and Sirius stared st him increderiously. Remus and I knew he was about to say something that would land him in some deep dragon dung. But before he was able to we managed to grab him by the back of his robes and hastily pulled him out of the hospital wing mumbling our goodbye's.
Remus and I were silently listening to Sirius rant about being treated like a dog, "Being pulled out of the hospital wing by my collar!! I am no pup! I am full fledged dog!"
"Okay, Sirius we get it," I muttered.
"I guess he's really through with her," Sirius said a few minutes later.
"Well, maybe...hmmm... it's possible...hmm," Remus said.
"What are you talking about?" Sirius demanded.
Remus ignored him. " Well, it's a possibility. Maybe he could... no, also he could...No that wouldn't either,"
Sirius threw his arms up in annoyance " I hate it when he thinks out loud." Remus continued his ranting ignoring Sirius.
"I personally think he's lost his marbles," I remarked half hoping Remus would hear and half dreading that he would. He didn't but Sirius nodded and grinned.
"Speaking of losing marbles, what about James?"
I shrugged. We were now outside the portrait again. "Alpha Centauri " I said loudly. The portrait swung open. And when we entered there was complete silence in the common room. Every single one of the Gryffindors stared at us. And then suddenly broke into applause.
"Awesome color!" One first year yelled out, another called out "great magic!"
A lot more words of encouragement circled from the rest of the room. A few people actually came and patted us on the back. The three of us sat down and I saw Lily for the first time today. She stared at us in complete disgust. She saw staring at her And gave me an awful glare. Her usually serene, sweet, lovely green eyes showed only anger, rage and complete disgust at the sight of me. She got up and stormed up the stairs tho her dormitory. I stared after her. I felt a queasy feeling in my stomach. And my heart gave a feeble plooumf and tripped itself and fell into the pit of my stomach.
This must be what James feels every time Lily gets angry with him. Ashamed, confused, and guilty. But she's so pretty And her hair is so— Wait! What am I thinking? THIS IS LILY!!! LILY GOES WITH JAMES!!!! You shouldn't feel or even think any of these things!
But I still did.

Another chapter done! Finally! It takes a while to think this up and type it. Now for ,all my hard work, I think I should get at least 2 reviews, maybe even 5. And I must ask this question, based on the books is Remus Lupin mature or levelheaded? Please answer the question and send it in review or simply answer no review. You can send it to my myspace or the my e-mail.
