Lily cast her eyes over the people sat before her and James. Totalling twelve, the thirteenth doing surveillance, they all had sworn to secrecy and to work to their common aim. Some because they felt Remus needed some, most because they wanted the whoremonger reign of Sirius Black to aim.

'Here is what we know. In two days, the Hogsmeade trip will take place. According to my trusted source Sirius Black is going to be there with April Dent, codename Courtesan will be with him.'
'Appropriate codename, good choice James' someone muttered in the crowd, and they all shared a laugh.
'Actually it was Lily who designated the codenames.' James said, looking at Lily.
Lily smiled, 'It's really all that bitch deserves'

'Sirius!'
'Hey April'
'You all set for tomorrow?'
'Yeah'
'Well I need to ask you a favour...'
'A sexual favour'
'No Sirius' April said with a sigh, 'I promised Kisa I would take her to the new teashop in Hogsmeade tomorrow. This was before this whole set up.'
'But...'
'Sirius, it's urgent, we need another guy for our Hogsmeade date, pronto'
'Why?'
'Many reasons'
'Like a threewa-'
'No Sirius you barely did anything alone, you don't want to disappoint me again do you'
'I won't this time I swear'
'No, you wont'
'But I don't know who to bring'
'Remus, look you can convince him with this potion' April holds out a bottle with a green label. You need to drink this too, its a kind of special potion,' she held out a bottle with a purple label.
'What am I drinking'
'Sirius, just do it please, for me?' April said, placing her hand on her shoulder and puffing out her chest.
'Fine', Sirius said, taking one of the bottles from her.
'Thanks Sirius, you'll get your good rewards' April called, walking away.
Sirius sighed hand and drinking one. He removed the bottle from his lips, having drained the contents. He felt a warm feeling, before he placed the green label bottle down and walked into the Great Hall.

'Hey Sirius, you joining us for supper'
'Hey Prongs, yeah sure. Where's Remus'
'He's coming back, he needed to speak with Professor Galadria about his astronomy essay.'
'I'll sit next to him, to let him know I don't hate him for what's happened.' Sirius said, trying to remove any emotion from his voice. The potion was still having its effect on him, his vision now slightly hazy.
'Hey look, Lucas Parkinson is arguing with Anna' and as James and Lily turned to look, Sirius emptied the bottle of potion into Remus' pumpkin juice.
'Sirius what's that bottle'
Peter had just sat down and had, luckily, just missed Sirius spiking Remus' drink.
'It's a nausea reduction potion, I've not been feeling well'
'Health potions come in Red labelled bottles, not purple.'
'Well, it's experimental, April gave it to me.'
Sirius turned at that moment, hearing a sound. Remus stood there, and at hearing Sirius' words, picked up his drink, turned and walked away.
'Be back in a minute. Remus, wait!'

'Remus why did you come out here' Sirius said as he staggered ever so slightly through the grounds towards the lake. Remus had just downed his spiked pumpkin juice, and coughed.
'Sirius just go away, you never learn anything from this do you.'
Sirius' vision flickered ever so slightly, a wave of head-rush hitting him.
'Sirius go somewhere else where you can bother someone else. Jump in the lake and see the squid.'
Sirius' vision flickered again, he took a step, and jumped. His final thought before he hit the water, 'I should have remembered the colours'.

Sirius' eyes opened. Brass taps, a window of a mermaid, stain glass, dancing in sunset. Yet no light passed through the window, and the room was dark, but lit by a floating lux.

Eyes passed before his, grey as the darkest moon, defined in his still blurry vision. Remus...

'Remus?'
'Sirius, why the hell did you jump in the lake'
'I don't know, I just remember, green and purple, two bottles, the taste of pumpkin and mango.'
'You drank Myessile's concoction. Who took the second draft, oh yeah, you spiked my drink. And you also fell into a rock, your head was profusely bleeding.'
'Remus...' asked Sirius, now frightfully aware of something, 'why am I covered in just a towel and nothing else?'
'You were wet'
'How?'
'You're kidding me, well that must have been some concoction.'
'How did we end up like this'
'What, nearly naked with me healing you in the prefect's bathroom? No idea, it's just like a normal day for me, but you're not a hot chick'
'You have chicks in here, but you're you, Remus, who doesn't even know what sex is let alone how to have it!?' Sirius said, bolting upright.
'And he's back, welcome Sirius.'
'Why did you bring me here, not the hospital wing?'
'You know I hate it there, I'm not going in this close to the full moon'
'Who helped you bring me up here?'
'Nobody'
'How the hell, but you're lanky as fuck!'
'We go to a wizarding school, remember?'
'Oh yeah, so you dragged me up from the grounds to the sixth floor?'
'In truth I just levitated you through the window.'
'You, you go to all that trouble for me after all I did, especially as this is my fault?' Sirius asked, his eyes wide. The potion must be wearing off.
'Yeah, you're still my friend Sirius, you mean a lot to me'

Remus' next words were stopped by Sirius hugging him. Remus, obviously didn't object, with toned, sexy and clotheless hunk Sirius Black clung to him. But he was a little to naked.

'Sirius?'
'Yes Moony?'
'Please put some pants on...'

'Kisa! Kisa!'
'Yeah April?'

The two girls sat in the great hall. Kisa, tall ,ginger and glorified sex goddess teasing some sixth year boys at one end. April sat down, avoiding all the looks she got from James and Lily.

'I gave him the potion.'
'So Remus will come?'
'Well that is what it does, it convinces someone, at possible self harm.'
'Are you ever going to tell me what you want in the long run?'
'Maybe. Wait, that's the bottle I gave Sirius, the purple one, by where they were sitting. But I saw him drink the purple one and bin it.'
'Did he drink the wrong one?'
'Oh fuck!'

'Plan set James?'
'Yeah, now we just need to catch a Sirius. Where did those two go?'

James and Lily sat on the sixth floor. The first of their group sat with them. Codename Alpha. Really it was Auriele Jackson, one of Lily's best friends.

A door opened down the corridor and Remus stepped out.
'Auriele, go and speak to Beta and Gamma, tell them where we are.'
'Right' she scampered off.

'James lets go down and talk to, oh!'
Sirius had just followed Remus out of the prefects bathroom. Now freshly clothed he said a few words Lily couldn't hear before loudly thanking Remus for something, hugging him (Lily carefully noting the happy discomfort in Remus' face before Sirius ran down the corridor.'

'Has he done our job for us'
'No James, the discomfort in Remus' face, he's been talked into something.'

April and Kisa were walking down the sixth form corridor. Up the corridor, all of a sudden, April gasped as she saw Remus and Sirius in each other's arms. Sirius whispered some words to Remus before running down the corridor. Scampering past them, Sirius bellowed:

'Remus said yes, he'll come. See you tomorrow'

'Hey April, they were hugging...'
'Holy hell did they just do what I think they did'
'Hug? It's not that big a deal'
'Yeah I may have got the potion dosages mixed up.'
'What did you expect to happen?'
'Well I expected Lupin to be on the floor in tears by now' remarked April
'What does their friendship matter to you?' asked Kisa
'You don't even know...'

'Oh I know better than you ever will April,'

Yeah this was super dialogue heavy. Not a great chapter. Stuff happened though, and you met a member of the fifteen (James and Lily's gang). You'll meet them all eventually.

So yeah sorry this was so dialogue, but it's longer than the last so have fun!

NEXT TIME ON ACCEPTING THE TRUTH

'Lily what are you and James doing?'
'Nothing...'
'It was something. James doesn't dress up as a women unless he's doing something sneaky'

'Kisa, did they just run out on us?'
'You perhaps, I'm only here for the refreshments'

'Sirius, this is the second time in two days that I have to tell you to put on pants, please stop putting me in this situation'

Yeah, well I promise the next one will be better. That should be coming within the next four days. I hope you enjoyed it, and the four hours of dialogue.
