October awoke a few hours later and climbed out of bed while stifling a yawn. She turned and looked at the clock. As she saw the numbers saying it was 11:18 am, she realized she only had an hour to get ready before she had to go meet Sirius.

October turned her head as she heard a yawn coming from next her. She saw Lily just getting up.

"Morning October. Can you believe we only have a few weeks of school left?" Lily asked as she sat up in bed and proceed to climb out of her sheets.

"I know. It's going to be so weird going home for the summer." October said as she pulled some jeans and a sweater out of her trunk.

"Is the school really going to let you go back to your dad?" Lily asked and she watched as October flinched at the mention of her father.

"They don't have any say in what I do. If I don't go back this summer next time I do see him it will just be worse." October said as she hung her head a little as she began changing.

"Where are you going?" Lily asked her as she kept her gaze on October's face.

"I'm going to meet Sirius. He asked me to. He said he wants to talk to me about something." October said.

Truth be told, October was nervous about her meeting with Sirius. She didn't know what he wanted to talk about. When he told her he wanted to talk, she was to scared to ask why.

"Do you know what he wants to talk about?" Lily asked and watched as October shook her head.

"I honestly have no idea, but when he said that he wanted to talk, the sound of his voice makes me think the worse." October said as she looked out the window to see Sirius walking towards the lake.

"I'll tell you what he said when I get back. But I have to go meet him now. Wish me luck." October said as she ran out the door.

Lily walked over to the window and saw Sirius looking into the lake. Lily could tell that he wasn't happy by the look on his face. Even from the distance she was at she knew he wasn't happy and she could only assume it had something to do with October.

Lily got dressed quickly and ran down into the common room. She saw James sitting on the couch and decided he would be the best way to figure out what was up with Sirius.

"James!" Lily yelled as she jumped on the couch next to him.

"What can I help you with darling?" James asked as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

Lily shrugged his arm off and turned her body so she was looking at him.

"Do you know what's going on with Sirius?" Lily asked him and patiently waited for an answer.

"I do, but for an answer, its going to cost you." James said as he raised his eyebrows at her and watched her sigh.

"What do you want James?" Lily asked and instantly regretted doing it.

"I want a date." James replied as he watched Lily's face.

"No way. Just tell me what's wrong with him and I'll give you a kiss." Lily said and

waited to see James reaction to her offer.

"Be my girlfriend and I'll tell you whatever you want to know." He replied and watched Lily roll her eyes.

"How about you tell me and I will give you a hug, kiss, and hold your hand for a few minutes." She told him and watched as he nodded his head yes.

"Okay so the deal with Sirius has to do with his parents." James began as he laced his fingers with Lily's.
