"Sirius" A voice startled Sirius from his light slumber. He groaned and turned over before yelling, "Go away"

"Come on, Sirius, get up" A voice he now recognized as Regulas said knocking on the door again, "Mother, wants you downstairs. Tonight we are going to hold a welcoming party for that girl you're going to marry"

"Not by choice," Sirius muttered before he pulled the cover off and stood up. He stretched before he said, "I'll be out in a moment"

He grabbed some clothes before he left for the showers. He sighed as he stripped of his clothes and opened the showers and entered.

He took some shampoo as he thought about the situation. This Lily was arriving tonight and he was expected to be a gentleman. 'Great' he thought as he rinsed his hair 'Just bloody freaking great'. Why was it his mother was the one controlling his life? Why couldn't he just make his own decision and be himself?

"Ohhh" James said excitedly as he pointed towards a decent apartment across the street. "How about that one?"

Remus examined the apartment in question before he shook his head, "I don't like it"

James rolled his eyes before he said, "You didn't like the other two either. What kind of apartment do you want?"

Remus rolled his eyes before he glanced down at the newspaper he was holding. His eyes brightened as he read, "For rent: 2 bedroom two bathroom for eight hundred a month. Not bad."

James groaned before he said, "Fine let's go check this out."

Remus grinned and said, "Thanks Jamie"

James glared at him before he said, "Where is it anyway?"

"Just around the corner"

"Great"

Sirius stared at the clothes he had to wear in disgust. Polished shoes, a creased suit with a black tie. Why couldn't he wear casual clothes like normal people?

'Because I'm not normal' He thought as he sighed. He dressed before he headed downstairs. He had a feeling that tonight would be a long one.

"How are we going to pay for this anyway?" James asked he looked around the flat he and Remus had rented. They had just finished the paperwork and everything was good to go.

Remus rolled his eyes before he said, "There's something called a job, have you ever hear of that Jamie?"

"Shut up. I mean we need a couch or something. Make it livelier" James said as he sat on the floor. He grabbed the newspaper and skimmed through it. He smirked before he said, "Remmy, tonight want to go out and celebrate?"

Remus frowned he knew that smirk which said 'I'm up to something'. "What are you up to?"

"Well, it's the latest news. The Blacks are having this party over at there house. Why don't we go check it out?" James suggested a twinkle in his eye.

"No" Remus said flatly before he began to read his book

James groaned and said, "Please, Remus, just for ten minutes or so" James finished with puppy dog eyes.

Remus sighed before he said, "Fine but only for ten minutes"

"Thanks" James said before he went to his room

"Wait…is anyone invited?" Remus called after him

"Uh…yeah" Came the muffled reply

"Greet, The Evans" Sirius heard his mother hiss in his ears. He sighed before he put on a fake smile and walked towards where The Evans was.

Lily Evans was 5'6 with fiery red hair and sparkling green eyes. Her skin was ivory and she had a gentle smile. She wore a beautiful green dress, which made her eyes stand out more. To say the least, she was breathtaking.

"Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans, it's very nice to meet you," He said shaking both of their hands. He then turned to Lily and said, "Lily, it's a pleasure" Before he kissed her hand (A/N: Gag me!). She giggled before she said, "The pleasure is all mine"

Sirius laughed nervously before he escorted them to the ballroom.

"Come on, Lupin," James whispered urgently as he watched his best friend climbed the huge gate of the Black Estate.

"I thought you said that everyone was invited?" He said as he continued to climb the gate.

"Uh yeah" James said nodded, he snickered as Remus fell to the ground when he had reached the other side.

"I'm okay," He said brushing the dirt from his tuxedo.

"Let's go" James said

"James, this is a party for the rich. So one problem their mate…we're not rich!"

"No, shit Sherlock" He said rolling his eyes "That's why you have to act like your rich. Strut like an upper class, do that little snotty look, sniff at the poor, you got to strut down these streets and let these people know that Lupin and Potter have arrived." Before he straightened his back and began walking toward the house.

"Whatever" Remus said before he followed his friend

Sirius could not take it anymore. It was unbearable. Lily was all over him. Smiling, laughing, touching, flirting, did he mention, touching.

"Uh, I think I'll go outside for some fresh air" When his mother nodded he quickly got up and left.

He sighed sullenly as he entered the balcony. He loosened his tie and un tucked his shirt. He watched as rain began to fall, how he wished he could just go out there and wash his problem away while dancing in the rain.

"Awesome" James said as they past, the guards "Told you it would work"

"Uh huh" Remus mumbled as he looked around the ballroom. He stopped as his eyes landed on a beautiful red head. Clearing his throat he said, "I'll see you later, James," Before he made his way across the ballroom.

James shrugged before he turned towards the window. He smiled as he saw it was raining. He quickly took off his jacket and went out to the balcony. He smelled the rain before he jumped off the balcony and into the rain.

Sirius was startled as someone came out. The boy did not seem to notice him so he watched silently as took off his jacket and jumped off the balcony and into the rain. Sirius was startled. Didn't his parents teach him manners?

Sirius ran up to the edge of the balcony and yelled, "Hey!"

And as their eyes met, two different stories with two different out comes had intertwine into one…
