)o( Remus's POV)o(

A week after waking up and being told by Sirius (No he's Black now! He's not your friend!)what had happened, I am finally released from the Hospital Wing. As much as I enjoy Madam Pomfrey's company, she's far nicer than many people think she is, I really need to find my friends. Glancing at my watch, I decide to check the Great Hall, knowing that they'll probably be there more than anything.

My movements are still kind of stiff, but the more I move, the easier movement becomes. When I arrive at the Great Hall, I'm only stiff in my neck and I glance up and down the Gryffindor table, trying to find James, Peter, and Ann. When I find them, I cannot be more surprised.

Ann is sitting next to Black, across from Lily, at the front of the table, closest to the faculty table. And James and Peter are sitting at the exact opposite of the table. Frowning, I walk to the guys and sit next to James.

"Remus! Glad that you're out!" James says, grinning, "Why didn't you tell us you were being released?"

I shrug, "Didn't know when, just that it was sometime today, and I know you gits enough to know you'd try to skip class."

James and Peter grin, "You know us so well."

"Out of curiosity, why isn't Ann sitting with you?"

James glowers, sending a glare at the front of the table, "She's on his side. Says that we didn't listen to the whole story."

"Did you?" I ask with a frown.

"What does it matter? The ending result is still the same!"

I scowl, "Did you ever think that maybe this should just be a problem between him and me?"

James sighs and shakes his head, "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. Betray one of us, betray the whole. That's what the Marauders are about. The end decision is up to you, as it is you who was effected by this the most, but whatever it is, all of us are following your lead."

"But it's going to kill you and Sirius to be fighting like this," I say, "You're best mates. Brothers. You shouldn't be fighting like this."

"Yeah…well…" James shrugs. And even though he's acting like this isn't bothering him, I can tell that it is. I can tell that it still hurts him to think that Sirius would do that to us, and honestly it isn't just me who he hurt. It's the Marauders on a whole.

~*~Ann's POV~*~

As the weeks and months continue to pass, I watch as Sirius seems to fall in on himself. He keeps getting less and less sleep each night and barely eats anything, which would have seemed impossible before any of this mess happened.

Hearing a ripping sound, I grit my teeth and send a repair charm at his bag while Sirius grabs his things. Scanning the hall, I, as usual, cannot find the culprit. Bloody idiots seem to think that now Sirius and the rest of the Marauders aren't getting along that it's a free for all.

"Come on Ann," Sirius says, "We're going to be late."

I glance at him in faux shock, "Sirius Black worried about being late to transfiguration? Alert the Prophet."

Sirius rolls his eyes and gives a small grin, "I have practice tonight and it's hard enough without having to tell them that I can't show up because I got a detention."

I roll my eyes and huff. There's nothing I can say. Nothing I can do to help him. Lily hangs out with us more often, and she's finding that Sirius really isn't half as bad as she thought he is. While this is normally a good thing, it doesn't help Sirius too much. Especially now that his family keeps owling him for some unknown reason, though I would guess that they want to kill or seriously maim him if the curses and other traps that await within the mail are to go by. Bloody nutters, the whole lot of them.

"Bloody gits, maybe I can send some cursed mail back," I mutter.

"What's that?"

"Hmm? Oh, nothing, just thinking to myself," I say, giving Sirius a smile. For some odd reason, he doesn't want any action taken against his family. Would much rather let them wear themselves out I guess.

Once we're all seated in McGonagall's class, I glance around the room in between doodling on my paper and jotting down the few notes that I need. Remus, quiet, studious, won't-not-take-notes-because-you-never-know-if-you'll-need-them Remus, is staring down at his parchment with the most forlorn look on his face. Glancing at McG, I cast the spell at my parchment to connect it to his and write.

Hey Remmy, why so blue?

Ann! It's the middle of McGonagall's class, are you suicidal!

No, I'm a Gryffindor.

I hear a thunk as though someone just hit their head on a desk and have to muffle my laughter.

Now Moony, you don't want to do that. You'll lose that wonderful brain of yours.

Yeah, well maybe if I did I wouldn't be so miserable.

Anything I can do to help?

Don't think so. Not this time at least.

I bite my lip, thinking, before I feel a grin appear on my face.

All right, well if you're sure. Let me know if you need anything.

Will do. Thanks.

I cancel the spell to Remus's parchment and then make it attach onto Lily's.

Hey Lily…I have a question.

Ann, you are insane! Sending notes in Professor McGonagall's class!

I am not. Besides, I have some very important things to discuss with you.

Like what?

Like wondering if you want to get the idiotic blokes back together or not?

And make it so that they can cause pranks and mass chaos around the school? Are you nuts?

Actually, I was thinking so that they could be happy again.

There's a long pause in her reply and I bite my lip, wondering if she'd ever agree with my idea. It's not exactly in her nature, but I think that she would be willing to do it, especially knowing that it would help her friends to be happy again.

What are we going to do?

~*~AG~*~

I smile as Lily and Marlene come up into the common room. We've already warned the other two girls not to come to the dorm tonight and they had said they were staying with their boyfriends. Once they're in, I ward the room against people from eavesdropping, and go through the usual routine whenever planning something.

"All right ladies, we have some Marauders to put back together," I say, letting a smirk cross my face. The other two give grins as well. This is going to be fun.

AN/ I know this is a short chapter, but more will come soon. Like tomorrow. Anyway, it might seem like I've glossed over the months where the Marauders weren't talking, but honestly, who likes to see the boys fight? I'll probably add flashback scenes that will show bits a pieces of what happened, but overall I'm leaving it alone. Oh, and they are now in January, so there won't be a Christmas chapter or anything like that, though Ann and Sirius are now 17 (Yay!) and Lily, who according to HP-Lexicon(great site if you don't have the books) was born on January 30th, 1960, will be turning 17 soon.
