CHAPTER 4

I met up with Lily and her other friends an hour after my meeting with Dumbledoor because I we all had classes right after breakfast.

"So what did he want?" Lily asked as she sat across from me.

"Oh uh, just going over my O.W.L score." I lied. I didn't want them to know I was some kind of freak who has somehow managed to get pushed into a different decade.

"That sounds just great Moony!" James said as he rounded the corner with Sirius and Remus. He sat right next to Lily. despite the unimpressed look from her. Remus sat next to James and Sirius sat next to me, holy damn. I turned to look at him, afraid I was going to be blinded by beauty.

"Moony?" I asked Sirius who was fiddling with his tie, looking extremely bored.

Sirius was about to respond when Lily pulled away from bickering with James to answer my question. "Yea, They call themselves by these nicknames. Potter is Prongs, Lupin is Moony, Pettigrew is Wormtail, and Black is Padfoot." She rolled her eyes. "Don't ask me why they do it. They also call themselves 'The Marauders." She huffed as James tried to swoon her. I looked over to Sirius and raised a questioning eyebrow.

"What's that about?" I asked. He blushed. I made this hot piece of man meat blush!

"Oh uh, just for fun." He said, staring at his shoes. "But never mind that!" He looked up at me and smiled. I grinned awkwardly back. I turned my head to look at Lily who was shouting rather obscene comments at the cocky looking Potter.

"What's up with them?" I asked.

"James and Lily?" He chuckled. "James is wild about Lily, but as you can see, Lily isn't to wild about him." I laughed a little as James threw a book at Sirius, but missed.

"One day she will love me." He sing songed.

"In your dreams Potter." Lily sighed.

"You always are, only wearing just a tad less clothes." Lily stared at him horrified expression. Everyone else just laughed. "I'm only kidding Lils." He snuggled up to her put she just pushed him away.

"It get's old when it's happening every second of every day, and let's not forget when James comes back to the dormitories and talks about her all night!" Sirius was laughing as James failed to hit him with another book.

"Sirius, I would hope for Merlins sake, that you shut up." James jokingly said as he playfully grabbed his third, and final book.

"Oh but Prongs! You might hit poor Jenny." Sirius opened his eyes really wide and I chuckled to myself, they were actually calling me Jenny now, cool.

"Oh gosh! I'm going to be late for Charms!" Lily bolted up and started walking quickly towards her class, James and Remus fallowing.

"Aren't you going to go too?" I asked, watching the three marauders walked out of view.

"Eh, I have a free period." He looked over at me. "I'm assuming you do too?" He asked. I nodded. Sirius stood up and stretched out his hand, I took it and he pulled me up. God his biceps. I blushed as he ran his fingers threw his lovely hair. Very lovely hair.

"So watcha wanna do?" He said as we stood in the middle of the hall. Students rushed to get to their classes on time. I noticed that some girls would go out of their way to bump into me out of pure jealousy that I was hanging out with the sexy . I shrugged not knowing what kind of things people did in the 70's. "Why don't we pay a visit to Snape?" He asked. My mouth gapped open.

"What Snape? The potions teacher?" I questioned, forgetting for only a moment that he went to school when they did. I bit my lip, hoping that he had not heard the last part. I'm guessing he did because he gave me a weird look. He shook it off and just shrugged.

"Come on, it's gonna be fun!" His eyes lit up as he took my hand and started running towards the Slytherin common room. He was holding my hand!

A few minutes later we walked inside the room. Snape was sitting on a green silk sofa, reading a book that had it's title covered. Sirius saw that he had not noticed that we walked in, so he made a point of slamming the door. Snape's head shot up. His dark eyes first looked at Sirius, with a cold glare. He then adjusted his gaze to me, his features lightened a bit but then saw we were holding hands, so if Sirius wasn't going to be nice.. it ment I sure as hell probably wouldn't be nice.

"Black, what the fuck do you think you're doing in here?" Sirius stood up, wand in hand

"Now Snivellus, don't use such language in front of a lady!" Sirius remarked, his eyes filled with amusement.

"Excuse me? Anyone who hangs out with you is not a lady." Snape snapped.

"Oh hell no!" Sirius said, muttering something under his breath and suddenly Snape was floating in the air. He limbs flying around. His wand seated on the ground. "Say sorry to her!" Sirius commanded. Snape's eyes closed. Not wanting to look either of us in the eye. His hair covered the anyways.

"I'm sorry." He whispered, as he was harshly dropped down.

"So Snivellus, how are those death eaters o' yours?" Sirius snickered. So he is a death eater.. "What? You afraid I'm gonna tell Evans?" Sirius crossed his arms and looked intently at the pale boy.

"Go away." He sneered. Sirius put his hands up in defense. I stood there awkwardly. Snape noticed by uneasiness and jumped at it. "So Black, how long did it take for you to bed this one?" Snape laughed a cold, hateful laugh.

"If you must know, we just met.. so I'm guessing not long." He whipped out a stunningly white smile, and Snape stood there.. not expecting that reaction. Neither was I. Sirius looked at me with a playful grin on his face, letting me know he was kidding. I sighed in relief. Sirius grabbed my hand again, and was about to lead me out the door.

"Tell Lily I'm sorry." Snape quietly said before practically pushing us out the door. Sirius's eyebrows pushed together.

"What a git." He said. I nodded along as he stood outside the door.

"So uh, what now?" I asked, pushing my black hair back into a bun. Sirius just shrugged before leading me down to the great hall.

"We should wait for Peter, he should be coming out of class soon. I nodded as we sat and waited.

"Thanks. I mean, you didn't have to entertain me." I said self-consciously. I wasn't used to nice treatment. Slytherins pride themselves in harsh and rude treatment. I was kinda happy that that part of my life was over, but only kinda.

"Eh, it was fun." He gave me a half armed hug. My face went all hot and I could tell I was blushing. Damn his hotness. "Aw, I made you blush." Sirius said once he brought his arm back to his side.

"Pishh, it's just hot in here." I said, flapping my hand in front of my face like a fan.

"Sorry, I'll have to leave then." He said smiling. Wrong word choice Jennifer. I mentally punished myself.

"Yea, whatever." I responded as I saw Peter rushing down the hall. He tripped, dropped his books, got back up, started running again, and fell right back over. I tried to suppress a laugh, but ended up making a piglike snorting sound, making my faint pink blush turn into a cherry red one.

"Hey Sirius!" He said waving. "Oh and hi uh.."

"Jennifer." I said, reminding him. He nodded my way with a chubby little smile and looked back at Sirius.

"So, are you going to help me with divination today like planned?" He asked, looking between Sirius and me.

"Oh yea, sure bud. See you later Jenny!" He got up and waved in my direction. Swoon.
