The light shone through the window directly onto James' bed making him groan and kneel to close the curtains at the foot of his bed.

He blinked hard since he didn't have his glasses on then rubbed his eyes trying to make sense of the blurry figures in front of him, he misjudged where the curtains where and fell head first of the foot of his bed.

He groaned as he hit the floor, wincing slightly at his arm and his most recent Quidditch injury.

"Are you okay James?" he heard a fairly tired Remus ask, James laughed as he felt his glasses being slipped on, he blinked once then looked at Remus.

"Yeah just practicing my circus tricks"

"At half six?" Remus said laughing and sitting beside James. James shrugged slightly and looked at Remus who was grinning. "Where did you sneak off to?" Remus asked, James frowned "Last night, I watched you leave, I saw you come back, I had no idea where you went" Remus said.

"To Myrtles Bathroom" James replied, Remus frowned.

"For any particular reason?" Remus asked. James looked at him and mouthed 'Severus', Remus began nodding then laughed "Why Myrtles Bathroom?"

"Because he forgot about her, she's a little…" he went to swear but stopped himself then sighed "But it was fun – only downside was Lily waited for me" he said then looked at Remus.

"You'd better be more careful, she already suspects" Remus replied, James nodded slightly then looked at Remus.

"And what exactly can I do?" James asked, Remus looked at him and shrugged.

"Go and study for our exams rather than fucking people around" Remus suggested lightly. James rolled his eyes and shrugged.

"You need to do well in your exams James, if you want to get anywhere and if this Lily, Severus business is distracting you, you need to push it aside and focus on the most important thing" Remus said, he smiled slightly as James nodded. "You can come and study with me later" Remus offered, James began nodding.

James sat in the library half asleep; he had rested his head on the book bigger than his head and decided to rest his eyes. He'd forgotten how boring studying was.

"Wakey, wakey sleepy head" James heard said, he frowned and opened his eyes yawning slightly then saw Lily. He sat up properly and stretched his arms.

"Hello there" James yawned then smiled at her.

"Hello. Did you find your book?" Lily asked, James frowned, knitting his eyebrows together in thought.

"Which book?"

"The book you went to get from the library at a ungodly hour last night" She said as she sat beside him, Remus hid behind his own book as Sirius turned to listen, Peter was to busy by the shelves to notice anything.

"Book?" James half whispered, then remembered his excuse the night before, he'd told Lily he was going to the Library, "Book" he said more confident this time, Remus put his book down and raised a eyebrow at James as if saying 'really'.

"Yes, yes I didn't find it" James said shaking his head dramatically, Lily frowned.

"Which book was it?" she asked, James shook his head.

"That doesn't matter really. It was just for my own amusement"

"Oh it was that kind of book" Lily said knowingly whilst nodding, James frowned then caught on.

"Whoa, whoa no, no" he said waving his hands frantically. Remus laughed as Sirius nearly snorted, James frowned and looked around the table acknowledging the helpfulness from the Marauders.

Lily sighed and shrugged as James looked around the library, spotting Severus near the Potions book (Again with the Potions). Severus looked up and flashed a coy smile at James. James smiled back then looked down quickly hoping no one had noticed.

But of course eagle-eyed Remus saw it and flashed James a warning look. James gulped then looked at his book.

James sat looking at Remus' moon chart, tonight was a crescent moon, it'd be a full moon next week, a few days before the first exam.

No wonder Remus was so stressed out. It really put James' problems into perspective, he was worried about a girlfriend or a boyfriend and Remus had to go through a transformation, he had to worry about exams,

"Damn" James half murmured. "I need to sort out my priorities"

This is shamely short I know, I am so sorry. I will get back to regular updates and a suitable length soon, I just have a few assignments to do. But I haven't gave up on you. I promise.

Please Enjoy :D
