Lily

I ran out of the room, clutching my now bruised neck. Only James bloody Potter would think of doing this to me. I struggled to keep calm as I walked to my classroom, I'm sure I can think of a reasonable lie I can tell Sirius...

"Like how James tripped and fell on your neck? Just happening to give you a love bite as well? Get real Lily." The voice in my head scoffed, making me redden in embarrassment. James Potter...Never had I hated the name more in my life... As I ran around Hogwarts, not knowing where in particular I was going, I felt myself slamming into someone.

"Lily! Are you alright?" I heard the familiar voice of Celine cry out in shock. I looked up and met her gaze, but she wasn't looking at me. She was looking at it...

"Did Sirius do that to you?" She asked me quietly, her eyes slightly wider than necessary.

"No. James did." I fumed, gritting my teeth as I replayed what had happened in that empty classroom.

Celine pulled out her wand and pointed it to my neck, mumbling some sort of chant before putting her wand away. I stared at her, not having any idea what had just happened.

"How else do I get away without a single hickey?" She joked, helping me off the ground which I had been sitting uncomfortably on.

I glanced in a nearby window, seeing that my neck was completely free of hickeys. A grin broke out on my face and I hugged Celine tightly.

"What would I do without you?" I grinned, releasing her from the hug and beginning to walk to our next class which was Transfiguration.

"I have no idea..." She grinned back as we reached the door of the classroom and walked inside.

Moments later an angry Professor McGonagall entered the room, barking at everyone to sit in their seats. I did as I was told and Celine sat next to me, raising an eyebrow at me in a questioning way at McGonagall's behaviour. I shrugged before turning back to the fuming teacher.

"Quiet!" McGonagall snapped at the already silent classroom.

"I have just received news that several prefect badges have gone missing, and accusations have been made at my house..." She said through gritted teeth. Several boys in the classroom gulped loudly, re-adjusting their jumpers.

"Everyone who has taken a badge is to come forward immediately." She added, seeing that her class were now shifting in their seats.

Craig Humphrey stood up, shaking from head to foot, before walking slowly to the front, handing in the badge which he had stolen. Professor gave an approving nod at him before looking back to the rest of her class.

Nobody made a move to leave their seats.

"The next person to admit they have taken a prefect badge will not get a detention. The rest will have three months with Professor Slughorn in the dungeons." She announced with a slight smirk. A surge of boys scrambled over their desks as they tried to reach the front first.

"I took one!" Several boys chorused at the same time.

"I took one before him!"

"No I did!"

"Liar!"

Those who had stayed in our seats (all girls) laughed at the pathetic opposite sex. Why was it that only guys could be that immature? Speaking of guys...wait until James sees his plan has backfired...


James

I tapped my foot, waiting for Lily to come into the Great Hall to have her dinner so I could point out the hickey on her neck. Sirius sat beside me, eating like a ravenous dog...which he technically was...

"Hey Sirius." I heard the purr of Lily Evans's voice say behind me. I stood up and smirked at her.

"Where'd you get that-?" I began to say loudly, before seeing her perfectly clear neck.

"Get that...what? Potter?" She replied innocently, sitting next to Sirius and kissing his cheek.

"You...You..." I began accusingly, pointing a finger at her as I struggled to say anything.

"You need to start finishing your sentences Potter." She told me, a quick flash in her eyes gave away the fact that she knew exactly what I was talking about.

Since when did she call me by my last name anyway?

"Lily..." I whispered, Sirius's eating so loudly made my voice seem as quiet as a squeak.

"So Sirius, have you been caught yet?" She grinned to my best friend, not even looking at me.

"Nope, I think this badge likes me. I got asked to come up to the front to hand out tests today; seeing as I'm a prefect and all..." He grinned back at her as I sat back down in my seat. I watched the loved up pair with a look of disgust, narrowing my eyes at the scene laid out in front of me. No way did Lily truly like him, she was using him…Not that I care about the insane chick in front of me. I turned back to my food, picking at a piece of steak before dropping my fork and standing up.

"Have a good time at Hogsmeade." I told Sirius, glancing at Lily and seeing her gaze was focused on me, before leaving the table. No way was I just going to sit here and watch my best friend make out with a lying…girl.

I tried to think of suitable swear words for the irritating Lily who had made me somehow start to get annoyed with my own best friend. She's manipulative. There we go. Just manipulative Lily…Let's stick with that.


Lily

Sirius held on gently to my waist as we began to walk through Hogsmeade, once again the guilt inside me began to overload, before I realised this was just testing him. What I'm talking about is my plan. Well, not my plan, but Jess' plan…

Sirius was going to be tested and I would no longer have to feel guilty.

I realised I was thinking a load of rubbish, so I decided now would be the best time to run through the plan once more.

"Ok," I thought to myself, "Tasha is sitting at the bar; all I have to do is walk in with Sirius and see what happens…"

I turned to Sirius as we walked along the footpath, stopping him in his tracks.

"Let's go to The Three Broomsticks," I told him, taking his hand and leading the way. This wasn't me being evil, this was me being completely innocent in a way. It all depended on Sirius and what was about to happen, I wasn't going to force him to do anything.

"Ok," He grinned, probably hoping for another karaoke round. I dragged him inside and sat at a table near the bar. Sirius froze, half way into his seat, only just seeing Tasha Brickson sitting at the bar, drinking a can of firewhiskey.

After a moment of staring at her he slowly moved into his seat. I watched him carefully.

"I'm just going to the bathroom? Could you please go get some drinks from the bar?" I smiled at him quickly, before walking off to the girls' bathrooms. As I passed Tasha I nodded quickly, she returned the nod and turned her gaze on Sirius, pretending she hadn't seen me.

"Sirius," I thought inwardly, glancing back at him and seeing him staring at Tasha with intent, "don't let me down…"
