AN: Well, I'm back again with a special thanks to all who reviewed! You guys are great! I would bake you all a cake if I could! This chapter isn't terribly exciting, but it sets up for the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything realated to Harry Potter and his world.

Lily groaned as the sound of footsteps reached her ears. It was mid-morning and she was hiding out in the back of the library, a thick volume on Potions spread out underneath her head. She had been trying to get started on a Potions essay that was due on Thursday, but her eyes watered every time she tried to focus on the page. She shut her eyes tighter now, trying to block out every minute particle of light. She had a terrible headache that was only exacerbated by the smell of musty books and the image of James's hurt face that wouldn't leave her mind.

"Hiding out, Evans?" asked a male voice from behind her. Stifling a groan she turned around to see the one person she never thought she would see in the library.

"Go away Black," said Lily, turning back to lay her head on the heavy Potions volume and shut her eyes.

"Got a wicked hangover, huh?" asked Sirius, pulling out a chair beside her very noisily.

"You could say that," she said miserably.

"Well, you're in luck, because I just happen to know the cure," said Sirius, propping his feet up on the desk beside Lily and leaning back so his chair wobbled on two legs.

"You do?" asked Lily, looking up at him expectantly, wincing as her loud voice echoed through the library.

"Of course I do. I'm a Marauder, aren't I?" He grinned arrogantly down at Lily and she resisted the urge to glare at him.

"Right, I should have known," said Lily, squinting her eyes as even the low lighting in the library was causing her headache to pulse in her temples.

"The thing is, I don't know if I should offer to help you," said Sirius.

"Yeah, I don't know if you should either," said Lily sadly. She thought about what she had done the night before and she shuddered. Why had she ever thought it was a good idea?

"Evans, why did you do all that last night? I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't mind being kissed, but I don't really like it when my best mate is furious with me for kissing the girl he likes," said Sirius, pulling his legs off of the desk, the other chair legs making a muffled thump as they hit the thick carpet.

"I really don't want to talk about it, Black," said Lily quietly.

"No, Evans. You don't get to say that. You don't get to just push everything away and pretend it didn't happen," said Sirius irritably. Lily looked up in shock to see that his eyes were flashing with anger and his mouth was clenched in a tight scowl. She was pretty sure that she hadn't ever seen Sirius angry before. He was usually joking around and laughing.

"I'm really sorry, Black," said Lily sincerely, for the first time realizing that she hadn't just affected herself and James. She felt awful that she hadn't even thought about what her actions would do to Sirius.

"Yeah, well, you should be. You just cost me the greatest friendship I've ever had. I think that means you owe me an explanation," said Sirius, staring unblinkingly at Lily.

"I'm sure James will forgive you," said Lily.

"Evans," said Sirius in a warning tone.

"Come on, Black. I hardly know you. It's not like I'm just going to spill my guts to you," said Lily tightly.

"If you could kiss me last night when you barely knew me, than you can tell me why you did," said Sirius gruffly.

Lily sat in silence for a few minutes, staring down at the dusty Potions volume, but not really seeing it. She knew she did owe Sirius an explanation, but she wasn't really ready to give it to him or herself for that matter. She knew why she had acted so irrationally last night. She could no longer deny the fact that she liked James. A lot. But that didn't mean that she was willing to tell his best mate! After a few minutes of looking at Sirius's steely face, though, she realized that he wouldn't leave without an explanation. So she decided to give him a little bit of the truth.

"Alright, Sirius. I was just so angry that James had the party even after I told him not to have it! Then he had it in our common room, which just shows that he has absolutely no respect for me. And then everyone was telling me that I was a boring rule-follower," said Lily.

"That's it?" asked Sirius incredulously after a pause.

"Yeah," said Lily, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Evans, that's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard," said Sirius bitterly.

"Are you going to cure my hangover now or not?" asked Lily irritably.

"I don't think you're telling me everything, Evans. You're way too smart to throw away a good friendship over something so stupid," said Sirius, staring intently at her.

"I don't know what," began Lily.

"Do you want your hangover cured? Because I haven't got anything to do today, now that James is mad at me. I could spend the rest of the day following you around with a gong and my lit wand shining in your eyes," threatened Sirius.

"Black," grumbled Lily angrily.

"Evans," said Sirius, staring stubbornly at Lily.

"Fine, Black. But if I tell you what really happened, you cannot tell anyone!" said Lily icily.

"Who am I going to tell? It's not like I've got a best mate anymore," grumbled Sirius.

"That's not a promise, Black," said Lily.

"Fine. I won't tell anyone your dirty little secret," said Sirius, rolling his eyes.

"Alright. Well, hmmm. This is going to be hard to say. I, um, kind of like James," said Lily quietly, watching Sirius expectantly. She knew he was going to freak out when her announcement finally got through his thick skull.

"And?" said Sirius after a pause.

"Well, I like him! I like James bloody Potter! After years of being tortured by his existence, I can't stop thinking about him! I'm going crazy, Black!" said Lily. Once the words were out of her mouth, she regretted how much she had revealed. She could see the smirk forming on Sirius's face.

"It's about time you finally realized what everyone's known all along, but I don't really understand. You wore a sexy dress, got drunk, and kissed me because you like James?" asked Sirius. He was looking at Lily like she was a complete moron, which Lily knew she deserved.

"Well, that's part of it. The other part is that Carrie was hanging all over him! And he wasn't exactly pushing her away," said Lily angrily, remembering Carrie pushing her way in between them and running her hands all over his arm.

"You're a complete nutter, do you know that Lily? James loves you!" said Sirius, shaking his head at her.

"Oh, come on, Black! James does not love me," said Lily.

"Are you kidding me, Evans? James has been in love with you since first year. And, now that you realize that you're in love with him, too, all I have to do is get you two together and James won't be mad at me anymore!" said Sirius triumphantly.

"Wait a minute, Black. I am not in love with James. And he is not in love with me," said Lily.

"Well, probably not right now after that stunt you pulled. It might take a bit of work, but I know he'll forgive you. Maybe you could shoot off fireworks that spell out "I love you James Potter, will you go out with me?" at dinner. Oh, and you can put something about the whole thing being my idea in there too," said Sirius.

"No, Black," said Lily.

"What? But Lily, don't you want James to forgive you?" asked Sirius.

"Yes, Black. I wish I could. But I really don't think that's possible. And anyway, all of this just made me realize that James and I really aren't good for each other. He's so laidback and spontaneous, and I'm just not like that. We drive each other crazy. Maybe it's just better if we avoid each other," said Lily glumly.

"Oh, come on Evans. How am I supposed to fix things with James, then?" asked Sirius.

"I don't know, Black. I'm really sorry. I've got to go," she said, gathering up her books and striding towards the door.

"Evans, what about your hangover?" asked Sirius.

"I don't really care anymore, Black," said Lily, shoving out of the library and walking quickly down the hallway.

"Trying to be the first one-man Quidditch team?" asked Sirius from the middle of the Quidditch pitch. James was zooming overhead with a beater's bat, alternately smacking the bludgers and throwing the Quaffle with all his might across the field to the goal posts.

"Get lost Black," growled James, hitting the bludger with such force that it went sailing into the forbidden forest.

"Prongs, mate, I'm really sorry about last night. You have to know that I don't even like Evans. I mean, sure, she's hot in an up-tight way, and really funny when she's mad," said Sirius. He trailed off when the other bludger came streaking by him, inches from his head. The bludger crashed into the ground and lodged itself, struggling mightily to get free.

"You could have killed me, Prongs!" Sirius said, looking at James in horror.

"Yeah, well, maybe you should have thought about that before you kissed my girl," said James angrily.

"Oh, come on Prongs! It was a bloody stupid Spin the Bottle thing! I never would have in any other situation. And besides, she's not really your girl. You guys aren't actually dating, so you really don't have a right to yell at me," said Sirius. The Quaffle came sailing by Sirius's head on the other side, narrowly missing. "Watch it, would you!"

"Get out of here, Black, before the bludgers come back. I won't miss next time," said James.

"Prongs, I think you're completely overreacting here. I mean, if you must know, kissing Lily wasn't all that great. I mean, it was nice, but nothing super special. She did kind of taste like strawberries. Weird, huh? But," said Sirius. He was interrupted, however, when James launched himself at Sirius from his broom. Sirius collided painfully with the ground, and a second later James's fist collided painfully with his nose.

"Stay away from Evans. And stay away from me," said James.

"James, I'm your best mate. Don't let some stupid girl get in between us," said Sirius.

"You were my best mate, Black," said James, hopping back onto his broom and zooming out of the Quidditch pitch, leaving a bruised and defeated Sirius to trudge back to the castle alone.

"Lily?" called a familiar voice quietly from behind her as she was creeping towards the kitchens for lunch. Lily felt a mixture of hurt and anger as she gritted her teeth and turned around to look at Hannah, who was shifting from foot to foot and wringing her hands.

"What are you doing here?" asked Lily defensively, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I just wanted to see if you're ok, after what happened last night," said Hannah, looking up sadly into Lily's eyes. Seeing the pity that Hannah had for her clearly displayed in her eyes made Lily fill with anger.

"Why do you care? Let me guess, you're coming to get all the juicy details about how awful I feel so you can run back and tell Carrie that she won," said Lily bitterly.

"I just don't get it, Lily. What happened to you? Why are you acting like this?" asked Hannah. Lily could see that her eyes were shining. In the light spilling in through the nearby window "I used to be one of your best friends, and now you think I'm out to get you?"

"I just don't know what to believe anymore, Hannah. After Carrie went psycho and started that fight," Lily began, her tone slowly becoming more and more irate.

"Lily, I didn't find you to talk about Carrie," Hannah interrupted.

"Then what do you want?" Lily snapped.

"I wanted to see if you're ok. Last night, Lily, that wasn't you at all. I'm worried about you," said Hannah.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine," said Lily, holding in the tears that she felt like sobbing out. In the past, Lily had always gone to Hannah with her problems. It was hard for Lily to deal with everything that was going wrong now without Hannah's comforting voice telling her everything would be ok.

"Lily, I can always tell when you're lying," said Hannah, smiling slightly at Lily.

"Yeah, it's always been extremely annoying," said Lily, a small smile creeping up on her face.

"So, I'm not going to force you to say anything. I just want you to know that I'm here if you need to talk," said Hannah, "See you around, Lily." She turned and began to walk away slowly. Lily stood frozen until Hannah had almost disappeared from sight around a corner of the corridor.

"Wait, Hannah," said Lily, feeling her resolve to stay rigid and unfeeling crumbling. She collapsed on the floor, tears leaking rapidly down her cheeks.

"Oh, Lily," said Hannah, walking quickly back and collapsing beside her friend, throwing her arms around Lily's heaving shoulders.

"I don't know what to do, Hannah. I messed everything up completely," said Lily, sobbing into Hannah's shoulders.

"It's ok, Lily, things will work out," said Hannah, rubbing Lily's back in circles.

"No they won't Hannah. James will never forgive me for what I did," said Lily miserably, choking with sobs.

"You're worried about Potter? Why?" asked Hannah in shock, pulling Lily back so that she could have a better look at her expression.

"I like him, Hannah. After years of hating his existence and wanting to hex him every time I saw his face, I can't stop thinking about him! He's kind, and brave, and loyal, and smart, and handsome, and he hates my guts now!" said Lily, sinking back into Hannah's shoulder, fresh sobs escaping her lips.

"Oh, Lily, then why did you kiss Sirius? What was that all about last night?" asked Hannah sympathetically.

"I told him not to have the party last night, Hannah, and he just went ahead and had it anyway, right in our common room! It was like he was rubbing my nose in the fact that he didn't care what I had to say! And to top it all off, Carrie rushed over and was hanging all over him! I wanted to get revenge. Only now the guy I really like will never forgive me," wailed Lily.

"I don't think I have to tell you that was an awful plan. But you don't know that James is going to stay mad forever, Lily. We'll think of something to win him back," said Hannah quietly.

"Merlin, Hannah. Why are you being nice to me now? I was so mean to you!" said Lily, remembering their last conversation with shame.

"Because, Lily, you're a great friend, most of the time. Besides, I knew we wouldn't stop being friends for long. I knew you'd be back," said Hannah, smiling at Lily and sweeping her bangs out of her eyes.

"Thanks, Hannah, but I think there are several people who would disagree with you. Top on the list would be Carrie and James," said Lily, gasping for breath as fresh tears rolled down her face.

"Well, I can't say I really blame them for being mad at you, Lily. You were definitely at your worst. But you'll get past this, and I'll help you," said Hannah.

"Really? Even after I was so awful to you?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, Lily. I've really missed you," said Hannah.

"I've missed you, too," said Lily, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Alright, well, I know the first thing that we need to do," said Hannah, standing up and pulling Lily to her feet.

"What's the first step, Captain?" asked Lily, smiling weakly at her.

"First we go to the kitchens and pig out. Chocolate is like a universal cure for a bad day and it always helps me come up with my best ideas," said Hannah.

"Thanks, Hannah," said Lily gratefully, hugging Hannah tightly.

"Moony," Sirius called eagerly as he entered his dormitory and flopped onto his bed.

"Hey, Pads," said Remus distractedly. He was sitting on his bed, a thick book resting on his lap.

"Moony, would you put the book down for a second, we've got a problem here," said Sirius frantically.

"You're the one who has the problem, Padfoot. I'm not the one who kissed Evans last night," said Moony, smirking at Sirius.

"We don't have time for teasing right now, Moony. We've got to come up with a plan to get James and Evans together," announced Sirius.

"Excuse me? Do you want to try something a little easier first, say, getting all of the grease out of Snape's hair," said Remus, laughing heartily.

"So you don't think it's possible?" asked Sirius, trying to keep a straight face.

"No, Black. And I really don't think trying will help you any with Prongs. If anything, when Evans shoots him down again, he'll just be even angrier with you," said Moony.

"But what if I told you that I know for a fact that Evans won't turn him down?" asked Sirius.

"And how could you possibly know that?" asked Remus.

"I was talking to Evans earlier this morning, and she said that she freaked out last night because she likes our Prongs!" said Sirius.

"Are you daft?" asked Remus, dropping his book on the floor.

"What is your problem, Moony?" Sirius asked. He had jumped at Moony's sharp tone.

"You went to find Evans this morning? And you had a whole conversation with her, alone, right after you were caught kissing her? Pads, you're not starting to have feelings for her, are you?" asked Moony, studying him closely.

"Merlin, no, Moony! If I did, would I be trying to get her together with James?" said Sirius, rolling his eyes.

"I guess not. But I still don't think that getting them together will work. Evans might like him, but I don't think he really likes her that much right now. And anyway, he's not going to listen to anything you have to say," said Moony.

"And that's why I'm coming to you, Moony. Because you're smart, and James isn't mad at you right now," said Sirius, explaining it to Moony like he was a little kid.

"Pads, it's not going to work. Why don't you just try apologizing?" asked Moony, grabbing his book off of the floor and thumbing through it.

"I already tried that, Moony, and do you know what he did? He smacked a bludger at my face!"said Sirius.

"Well, give him some time to cool down and apologize again," said Remus, still flipping through the pages of his book, looking for where he had left off.

"No, Moony," said Sirius, grabbing the book out of Moony's hands and throwing it across the room. "You are going to help me," declared Sirius.

"You might not want to throw someone's belongings across the room when you're trying to persuade them to do something," said Moony, scowling at Sirius.

"I'm really sorry, Moony. It won't happen again. Now, will you help me?" asked Sirius, doing his best to appear innocent. Moony broke out in laughter at the expression on Sirius's face, clutching his sides as they began to ache.

"Fine, Pads. But please don't pretend to look innocent again. I thought I was going to laugh until I died," said Moony, struggling to keep himself from laughing.

"When you're finished looking like an idiot, I can tell you the plan," said Sirius, rolling his eyes at his friend.

"So that prank on the Marauders was all you?" asked Hannah, wide-eyed as she plunged her spoon into her chocolate sundae. The two girls were sitting on the large island table in the middle of the kitchen, eating huge ice cream sundaes.

"Yeah," said Lily, licking the hot fudge off of her spoon. They were recapping all the important things that had happened in the past week.

"Do you remember the prank we pulled on Carrie in second year?" asked Hannah, a giggling smile appearing on her face as she swung her dangling legs back and forth.

"How could I forget? She screamed about it for months! She also brings it up every April 1st," said Lily, rolling her eyes.

"I better not wake up to find anything that looks like Black in my bed," said Hannah in an impersonation of Carrie's voice when she whines.

"Even after we explained that it was just a disillusioned pillow she threw it in the trash. She said she couldn't own anything that looked like Black for even a minute," said Lily. Both of them laughed, beaming widely at each other.

"You would have said the same thing about Potter in those days," said Hannah, looking up in horror at Lily after the words were already out.

"Yeah, I guess I would have. If I had any sense at all, I would still be repulsed by him," said Lily quietly.

"I'm just glad that I've always been the sane one of our group," said Hannah quickly.

"You, sane? Riiight," said Lily, rolling her eyes and laughing.

"Hey, I've never insisted that I hate someone that I secretly love," said Hannah indignantly. "I think that makes me a little bit saner than you and Carrie."

"Hannah, I DO NOT love Potter!" Lily said firmly, putting her hands on her hips.

"See, you just proved my point," said Hannah, smiling mischievously at Lily.

"I told you that I like Potter, I never said that I love him," insisted Lily.

"You didn't have to say it. I've known all along that you do," said Hannah.

"Really? Then why were you so surprised when I told you that I like him earlier?" asked Lily, smiling triumphantly at Hannah.

"Because I never thought you'd admit it to yourself," said Hannah.

"It really wouldn't matter if I did love him, Hannah. James is never going to talk to me again," said Lily sadly again, sinking onto the countertop.

"I told you, Lily. We've just got to think of a way for you to win him back," said Hannah.

"What, should I start asking him out every day like he used to do to me?" asked Lily, rolling her eyes.

"That's not a terrible idea," said Hannah.

"That was supposed to be a joke, Hannah," said Lily flatly.

"I know it was, Lily. But what you have to do is show James that you really care about him. You have to make a big gesture, put everything on the line. You have to," said Hannah.

"Speak in as many clichés as I possibly can?" asked Lily, smiling impishly.

"Merlin, Lily. I forgot how annoying you are," said Hannah, rolling her eyes.

"And I forgot how much you love chocolate ice cream all over your robes," said Lily, grinning before she started launching spoonfuls of ice cream at her best friend.

Pretty soon there were splatters of ice cream all over the walls, and Hannah and Lily were alternately ducking behind the island and lobbing ice cream at the other. When they ran out of ice cream, they threw anything they could get their hands on. They were so caught up in their food war that they didn't notice James walk in until he yelled, "hey!" indignantly as a cookie bounced off of his forehead.

"Oh, hi Potter," said Hannah, throwing a panicked look at the space where Lily had just ducked back behind the island.

"Hey Matthews, who are you having a food war with?" asked James, grabbing a cookie off the countertop and nibbling on it.

"Me," said Lily, standing up and looking hesitantly at James.

"Oh," said James, throwing the half-eaten cookie down and turning to retreat.

"Wait, James," said Lily, jumping in front of him to block his path to the door.

"Evans, get out of my way," said James impatiently.

"James, I feel awful about what I did last night," Lily began.

"I don't care how you feel, Evans," said James emotionlessly.

"What I did was really wrong. I know that, James. And I'm so, so sorry. I just, I really liked our friendship. Can't we just go back to how things were?" asked Lily, her voice full of emotion and her eyes brimming with tears as she pleaded.

"No, Evans," said James tonelessly.

"James, please, just talk to me," said Lily.

"Bye, Evans," said James, stepping around her and leaving the kitchens. The door swung back and forth on its hinges as Lily sunk to the floor again, its image blurring more and more each time it swung as her eyes filled with tears.

"Matthews," called Remus, pushing off of the wall outside of the portrait entrance to the Gryffindor common room a few hours later. Hannah had just left Lily's room after trying to console her. Lily had finally calmed down a bit and had said that she needed to get some sleep, so Hannah had left, promising to return in the morning so they could have breakfast together. Hannah was just so glad that she and Lily had fallen back into their friendship so comfortably. It was as if they hadn't spent any time being mad at each other.

"Matthews!" said Remus loudly, putting his hand on her shoulder. Hannah jumped and placed gripped the wand in her pocket before she realized it was Lupin. Her cheeks turned red as she gazed up at him.

"Lupin, you scared me," Hannah gasped, smiling up at him despite her scolding.

"I'm sorry, Matthews. I called your name several times, but you didn't hear me," said Remus apologetically.

"I'm sorry. I've just had a lot on my mind. What's going on?" asked Hannah sweetly. She had always liked Lupin, although she didn't know him extremely well. He was kind, smart, and handsome with his light brown hair, muddy brown eyes, and charming smile.

"Are you busy right now?" asked Remus, smiling at her.

"No," said Hannah with a shy smile on her face, "why?"

"Can we talk?" asked Remus nervously as he ran his hand through his slightly rumpled hair.

"Sure, Lupin," said Hannah. She was slightly puzzled by his coming to her for anything. Of course they had talked a few times, but they could hardly be considered friends.

"Could we go somewhere a little more private?" asked Remus, looking around the corridor at the Gryffindors who were entering and exiting the common room.

"I guess," said Hannah cautiously, her curiosity peaked.

"Have you ever heard of the Room of Requirement?" asked Remus, a grin on his face.

"The room of what?" asked Hannah.

"Come on, I'll show you," said Remus, walking off towards the seventh floor corridor, Hannah following in his wake.

"What are you doing?" asked Hannah curiously, as she watched Remus pace back and forth in front of a tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy.

"Opening the room," said Remus cryptically.

"Sure, that makes sense," said Hannah, wondering slightly if Remus had a few knuts loose in his head. She took it all back when a door appeared in the wall opposite from the tapestry.

"After you," said Remus, opening the door for her.

"Thank you," said Hannah, smiling at him before she walked into the room. It was a small room with a comfy-looking couch set before a wide fireplace and three walls entirely covered with books. Hannah stared in amazement at the room for a moment before she walked towards the bookshelves and began running her finger over the spines.

"Pretty cool, isn't it?" asked Remus, closing the door and sitting on the couch.

"Yeah," agreed Hannah, plopping on the couch next to Remus and sinking into the plushy fabric.

"I found this room in my third year when I couldn't take James and Sirius's constant games of wizard's chess while I was trying to study," said Remus, rolling his eyes.

"It's too bad there's nothing to put your feet up on, though," said Hannah. Just after she said it, though, a coffee table appeared right in front of her. She looked at Remus in surprise.

"The room adjusts to whatever you want. In fact, when you pace outside in the hallway, you just think of whatever you want in the room and it'll appear," said Remus. "James has made this into a huge room with a springy floor so he can practice quidditch, Peter has used this room as a place to hide from Slytherins, and I actually have never asked what Sirius uses this room for, and I really don't think I want to know."

"And this is what you think of when you want to get away," asked Hannah, taking in the room once again, seeing what the room revealed about him.

"Um, yeah," said Remus, the rims of his ears turning red.

"I like it," said Hannah quietly. "It's exactly the room I would pick."

"Thanks," said Remus, beaming at her.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" asked Hannah suddenly after a bit of a pause. She hadn't realized right away that she was staring at him.

"What? Oh, um, I need your help, Matthews," Remus said slowly.

"Alright," said Hannah, trying to look at Remus closely to read his expression.

"This might seem really crazy, and believe me, it is not my idea, but I'm trying to get James and Evans together," said Remus.

"You are?" asked Hannah in a confused tone. Of course it all made sense now that Remus would talk to her about Lily. She felt slightly disappointed, but she pushed her feelings aside.

"It's all Sirius' plan, and somehow, once again, I got dragged into it. Sirius thinks that James will forgive him if he gets them together," said Remus, rolling his eyes.

"That's actually a pretty smart plan," said Hannah thoughtfully.

"Well, it would be if it would work, which is why I came to you. I don't want to try to get them together if it doesn't have a chance of working. So, I know things between you and Lily aren't going great, but do you think she'd say yes to James?" asked Remus, staring intently at her.

"If you had asked me a few hours ago, I would have said no way. She's way too stubborn for her own good. But now I know for a fact now that she will," said Hannah.

"What changed in the past few hours?" asked Remus.

"I got my best friend back," said Hannah, smiling happily.

"That's great, Hannah," said Remus. Hannah's heartbeat quickened as she stared at his beaming face.

"Yeah, and she's finally admitted that she likes James, so I don't think she'd be the problem. James, on the other hand," said Hannah, trailing off.

"Yeah, I'm not too sure how he'll react to us trying to set them up. I've never seen him so angry before. But he loves her. I know he does. That's got to count for something, right?" asked Remus.

"As long as we come up with a good plan, I think it will all work out," said Hannah.

"So you'll help me?" asked Remus in surprise.

"Of course, Lupin," said Hannah, smiling up at him.

"Brilliant," said Lupin, beaming down at her.

AN: Well, I hope you all liked it and will come back next Wednesday for the next post! I promise that the next post will be a lot more exciting.

As always, feel free to review on your way out!

Have a good night, and happy fanficing!

Love,
