James and Sirius kept their word. Later that night they found Alexis in the common room with a few of her friends. They were very protective of Remus; meaning that they "forgot" how much he had yelled.

"Hey! Alexis! We have to talk to you!" Sirius shouted as they walked across the room.

"Shut up Padfoot! People are staring. And it's not for a good reason." James muttered.

"What do you want? Come to defend your friend? Don't waste your breath. In fact, I think I should have yelled at him some more- I let him off easy!" Alexis stated.

"You better shut it! He has a good excuse! It wasn't his fault he was in a bad mood!" Sirius retorted.

"Oh how horrible! Remus got set up on a blind date with a girl he didn't like! That's DEFINTLY a good reason to yell at me," she replied sarcastically.

"He's sick!"

"I highly doubt it! Tired, maybe, but sick? I didn't think you guys were that pathetic! He's just a git with anger issues." Haley, Alexis' friend, replied.

"Stay out of this! This has nothing to-"

"Personally, I think he should be locked up! Not in St. Mungo's though- with his anger issues, he would be a danger to the patients! He's mental!" Charles laughed. That comment made us go silent.

Sirius took the silence as an opportunity to punch Charles in the face.

"Charles! Charles, are you alright?" Haley asked.

"How dare y-"

He was interrupted with another punch, this time James was the one who punched him.

"You're bleeding! We have to get you to the hospital wing- now!"

The three of them walked of, whispering about how horrible Sirius and James were.

Usually, I would have been upset if James had punched someone. But in this case, I was glad him and Sirius had though of it.

"Thanks for backing me up there, Prongs! Hopefully his face doesn't get any worse- it was already enough to make me want to barf!" Sirius said happily.

"That git deserved it! I almost punched Haley too! They were horrible. Good thing they're dating- I doubt anyone else would ever even consider going out with them," James muttered.

"Yeah, they were really horrible," Peter said.

"Glad you could join us Peter!" James exclaimed

"Heard the conversation, did you?" Sirius asked.

"And you figured out what happened? That's good!"

"You're lucky! If you keep spending you days in detention-"

"You'll never understand what's going on!"

I couldn't help but laugh. That proved why some people thought that James and Sirius were brothers. They always hung out together, finished each other sentences, looked similar. They might as well be brothers.

"It's not my fault I'm in detention!" Peter argued.

"Yes it is! You're the one who's too slow to make an escape when we hear Filch coming!" Sirius replied.

"Shut it!" I shouted.

"The red-head's losing her temper! We better watch out!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Enough, Sirius. What is it Lily?" James asked.

"That was brilliant and all, but do you think that made it any better for Remus? Sure, they now know that his friends will punch them in the face if they insult him, but does that fix the problem between Remus and Alexis?" I answered.

"I think Lily's right. This just made Alexis even angrier," Peter commented.

"I think they're right, Padfoot. We just made it a lot worse. I think we should wait on telling him until after the full moon. That way he won't be as angry as he is now." James said.

A couple of hours later, I went for a walk through the halls. I needed to figure out a way to solve the problem. That's when I heard the crying.

"Alexis?"

"Go away, Lily! Got back to your stupid boyfriend and his stupid friends and leave me alone!" she sobbed.

"What's wrong?"

"Like you don't know! That stupid boy thought it would be fun to yell at me and then get his friends to punch my best friend's boyfriend in the face. He is so-"

"Stop it! You don't understand! Remus is sick! You're friends don't believe it, but it's true! He can't control it and it's not his fault! James and Sirius probably shouldn't have punched Charles, but he was insulting one of their bests friends. He would have done the same thing! Yes, Remus shouldn't have yelled at you. He should of paid more attention. But he hates that he is constantly set up on blind dates. Being sick just made it worse. If you want to blame anyone, blame me. I forced him to go on the date. He didn't want to go when he was sick, he was going to reschedule, but I thought it was too late to back out."

"I…I…I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything to me. Knowing Remus, he'll come and apologize to you once he feels better. Just don't get mad at him. Or at least, not too much. He deserves some of it, but not all of it. You should probably head back to the common room soon. You wouldn't Filch to see you." I said.

"I'll go back in a few minutes. I… I just need some time to think," she replied.

I headed back to the common room and saw that it was almost empty. The only people left were the four people I wanted to talk to.

"Problem solved!" I said.

"What? How did you get that-"

"I just talked to her and told her that Remus was sick and that he was tired of being set up on blind dates- all of which let to what happened today," I answered happily.

"So, she doesn't want to kill me?" Remus asked.

"Nope! Just wants to talk to you."

"I told you Lily was amazing! She can do things that everybody else thinks are impossible!" James gloated.

I smiled and sat down next to him.

"Didn't have to tell us; anyone that knows her, knows that," Remus stated. I thought that was nice of the two of them.

"Yeah, but that doesn't stop Prongs from bragging about how amazing his girlfriend is to everyone he sees!" Sirius laughed.

"He never shuts up about you, Lily," Peter added.

That was the moment I realized that James was the one for me.
