"I'm not sure what the plan should be

"I'm not sure what the plan should be." Remus stated as he looked at Lily briefly before glancing between October and Sirius.

"Well we need to come up with something.. And fast." Lily said as she watched October place her hand in the lake.

"We will think of something." Remus said as he turned and began walking back towards Sirius when an idea hit him.

"Lily… What if we sent them each flowers from the other.. They would have to talk to each other eventually.. To find out why they sent the flowers." Remus said a bright smile on his face as he looked at Lily.

"I guess we could try that. We should just hope it works." Lily sighed as she turned and began to walk away from Remus.

As she ended up near October, Lily looked back at Sirius who looked just as miserable, if not even more than what October looked like.

"October, could you at least try to smile?" Lily asked as she slapped her friend on the arm.

"I'm fine. I really am." October said as she smiled at her friend briefly before looking sadly upon the lake.

"October I can tell you're not fine. What is it about him that bothers you so much?" Lily asked, baffled at the fact that her friend could feel so low because some hormonal boy wasn't paying attention to her.

"I don't know Lily. I guess its just he's the only one that even comes close to treating me how my father does. Its weird not having anyone make fun of me or call me names. I get so used to it at home that it's strange now." She said as she turned her gaze briefly upon Lily to see the reaction that she would get.

"Well I think you should forget about boys and enjoy the rest of you're time here. I mean it's almost Thanksgiving and then Christmas break is right around the corner." Lily said happily, a smile gracing her face making her green eyes light up.

"Yeah, I guess I should be happy, but I will be here for Christmas. Its not like my dad would want me home anyways." October said as a tear began to make its way down her face.

"I can see if you want to come home with me, if you want that is." Lily said looking at the melancholy face that had plastered itself on her friend.

"No. I don't want to impose. Not to mention I don't want your parents to feel like they would have to get me anything." She said as she shot a small smile in the direction of Lily before turning her gaze to the sky where she watched the clouds begin to cover the sun.

October sighed heavily before laying back in the grass. She kept her gaze on the cloud that looked like a dog. Watching it float by, she sighed again and turned her attention to another cloud, this one looking like a puff, nothing more.

The sun disappeared behind the clouds as Lily stood up.

"It's starting to get late, are you coming inside to get something to eat?" She asked October as she looked down at her friend who seemed at ease with everything around her.

"I'm coming, hold on." October stated as she clambered to her feet and stood next to Lily.

The two girls began to make their way inside as October glanced over at the group of boys, hoping to catch Sirius' eye.

"We should be heading in. It's almost dinner time." James said as he watched Lily and October walking towards the castle.

"Why, just because the girl you're chasing after is heading in?" Sirius asked as he turned his attention to the two girls walking. He kept his gaze on October and watched how she walked.

'She is certainly something.' He thought to himself as he felt someone push him out of his thoughts.

"What?" He tried to sound casual as he asked the question, but unfortunately his voice came out angry.

"Nothing mate. Just wanted to let you know we're heading in." Remus said as he slapped Sirius on the shoulder once before walking towards James.

Sirius started walking after them but he still kept his gaze on October the whole time.
