A/N: I'm trying to make up for the crappy chapter I gave y'all last time (As 4701rose said to me loud and clear – 'Ack' SORRY!)

I just didn't know where to go with it, though. So I thought this one I'll try and lighten up… Dunno how, but I hope this one's better…

I would've put this up last night for y'all to read, but FanFiction wouldn't let me... Something about an error...

Disclaimer: The thing that keeps going around in my head – I'M AN IDIOT. PLEASE DON'T REMIND ME (At least I'm not flunking my English GCSE).

'SIRIUS BLACK' Sirius turned around before something soft and ginger came flying towards him, fast. It knocked him to the ground, before rolling off him, and kicking his side.

'Ow! What was that for?' Sirius looked up into the angry face of one Lily Evans.

'Oh, I think you know'

'Oh, I think I don't'

'You do'

'I don't'

'Do'

'Don't'

'Do'

'Don't'

'D- Oh stop it. You know exactly what I'm talking about.'

'Yes, because I thought it would be funny to annoy a furious Lily Evans'

'I bet you're its going through your head right now'

'Lils, the only thing that's through my head right now is 10 good ways to calm down a redhead. I'm still stuck on number one.'

'Marlene told me all about it'

Sirius froze.

'Wh-what did McKinnon say to you?' he asked, stammering. He knew it was stupid to tell McKinnon. Now she'd gone and spilt it all to Lily. What 'til he got his hands on her… or more accurately his wand.

'You were there, thickhead!'

'Er… Let me explain about that-'

'-Oh, Now you want to explain? I thought you knew nothing about it, huh?'

'Do you have to be so difficult?'

'All the time, trust me' interjected Alice Prewett, who just happened to be walking past the argument.

'Do you always have to appear at the worst moments?' Lily cried, in disbelief.

'It's my knack for being a wonderful judge of timing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm meant to be meeting Frank, and I'm late' and she walked off, down the corridor.

'What happened to wonderful timing?' Lily huffed in exasperation. Sirius began to back slowly away from her. 'Oh no, Black. You're coming with me'

'What now?'

'Just follow' and Lily grabbed his collar, and marched him off into the nearest empty classroom. Forcing him down in a chair, she tried to tower over him, something she couldn't do when they were standing.

'Now Black, explain.'

'So you want me to explain now? Two minutes ago you were refusing any explanation'

'And you say I'm the difficult one! I wonder how Ja-Potter lives with you as a best friend'

'Freudian slip, Evans?'

'Oh, big word Black. Who'd you copy that one off?'

'Now now Evans, no need to start throwing insults'

'I'll throw insults if I want to. You can't stop me'

'I was just beginning to warm up to you Evans, and then you went and did this. Being unnecessarily mean is not a good way to keep friends, you know'

Lily sighed. 'I just wanted to know about Marlene'

'Well, she's blond with blue eyes, quite a good beater, plays for Gryffindor, about yay high' Sirius indicated with his hand 'Sits almost diagonal from you in Muggle Studies, and, oh yes – one of your friends. Will that do?'

'Your intentions with her, you prat!'

'My intentions?' Sirius waggled his eyebrows. Lily pinched the bridge of her nose. 'Always with the unfortunate phrase, Lily?'

'That one was your mind, Black.'

'At least I'm living up to my name'

'And I'm not? How can you live up to 'Evans'? Granted if it were Gardener, or Moody, or Potter!'

'Do you ever stop thinking about him?'

'No Potter!'

'Seriously Lils, you need to stop, I'm sure it's unhealthy'

'Sirius, shut up and listen'

Sirius listened. He could hear the plodding of footsteps, stepping in time to a catchy tune.

'I see what you're saying Lils, the tune is catchy, but what's that got to do with-'the door flew open with a rather loud bang.

'James!' Lily almost squealed, albeit nervously. James' eyes darkened 'We were, er, just… brewing-'

'Amortentia' put in Sirius, helpfully. Lily glared at him. James glared at the two of them.

'Look James-' Lily began.

'-You just catch us at the wrong time' Sirius finished, not before Lily had put her head in her hands.

James growled, and darted forwards. Sirius backed away, knocking a desk over. 'James, calm down. You know I would do nothing to Evans'. Lily stepped forward, and looked up at James.

'It's true' she said, and he looked down at her, his eyes softening.

Sirius made a face. 'Honestly peeps, PDA. I'll just leave you two alone' James and Lily looked up at him, and then stepped away from one another, both blushing deeply. Lily coughed.

'I'm going to er, polish my, er, my, er, wand' said Lily, before realising what she'd said, and blushing an even deeper colour. Sirius sniggered, whilst James looked at his feet.

'C'mon James, let's go down to the Quidditch pitch. I feel a sudden need for Quidditch in my bones' Sirius grabbed James, and practically dragged him to the door 'See ya, Evans'

'Bye Lily' said James.

''Bye Lily'? James, you really need to man up, dude'

'I'm manly enough Padfoot. Don't you remember our little bet?'

Sirius scowled. 'Guys don't say 'Bye Lily' like that, though. I'm sure your voice was two octaves higher! Just 'cos you love her, and want her to carry your children doesn't mean you should start sounding gay. I don't think that turns Evans on'

'How would you know?' James asked, suspicious.

'I'm Padfoot. I know everything'

'Sure you do'

He fell to the floor with a crash.

'Mr Black! How often have I told you chairs had four legs for a reason?' Professor Flitwick, for once, towered over him.

'Er, once?' Flitwick frowned.

'Well now you know.' And Flitwick toddled off to help MacDonald with her wrist movement.

Sirius picked himself up from the floor. The phone in his left hand trouser pocket had just buzzed, surprising him, and causing him to fall off his chair. He was meant to be doing a project, but spying on the conversations of Prongs and Evans were much more interesting.

'Whose was that?' McKinnon was his partner in everything, now. She wanted to know all about the phones, and had suddenly become incredibly interested in James and Lily's love life.

'James'' he answered.

'Look at it then!' Boy, was McKinnon impatient. You always had to be one step ahead, or be yelled at. For Sirius it was usually the latter.

'I'm doing it!'

The message read Moony, d'ya reckon Pete's still awake?

'Well that was anti-climactic' said Marlene.

Sirius scanned the classroom for his friend. He was sitting there, mouth open, and eyes open, unmoving. He looked dead. Sirius threw the screwed parchment that was in his hand towards him. It landed perfectly in his wide open mouth. Sirius laughed, but suddenly the phone in his hand buzzed again.

Hey Evans

'Now this is getting better!' McKinnon was way too excited about all of this. He was the one who had come up with the idea in the first place, for Pete's sake.

Again, the phone buzzed.

Yes Potter?

Now why are we back to Potter?

I do like your surname.

Well, you did bark it at me for 6 years

You were an arrogant toerag.

Were?

Were, are, tomato, tomato.

But you just said that I wasn't an arrogant toerag anymore?

I never said such profanities. You are a prat.

A cute prat though, admit it. You know it would make my day.

And ruin mine.

Aww, c'mon Evans, you know you love me deep down inside

Sirius and Marlene both looked up at Lily. Her eyes widened, and she looked up, catching Sirius and Marlene watching her. They both turned away immediately, trying to act innocent.

Sirius' robes buzzed.

'That one was yours, right?'

'Yep. Wonder who that could be' he gestured to Lily, who was glaring daggers at him from across the classroom. He was right. His phone read Black, I'm gonna kill you.

Deciding that life was quite important, he quickly replied Not me Lily-flower, Just James… Probably just his banter. You know how he is.

His reply must have pacified her, as the blue phone buzzed.

Not likely, Potter.

Why do you call me by my last name?

Easier.

How is it easier than saying James?

Just is.

S'fine by me either way – I just love the way you bark my name when you're angry at me. It's scarily sexy.

Potter?

Yes, my darling Lily-flower?

Shut up.

Sirius noticed that Lily had gone a peculiar shade of red, and smirked. He loved listening into their conversations.

The banter between the two continued all day, and throughout the next. James just simply couldn't stop texting Lily, although he would because it's a new thing and it's Muggle, and Lily just kept on texting back, because that was just etiquette. Neither knew that a certain Mr Black read every word they said to each other.

A/N: Please tell me that wasn't as crappy as the last chapter… PLEASE! Especially 4701rose, who deemed my last chapter as 'Ack'. Please tell me this was better. It's not as good as the first 3, I know, but it just didn't come to me, as the first 3 chapters did. Anyway, it's just after the last day of the holidays, so otherwise I wouldn't have published it, rather waited 'til I had a creative spurt.

The next chapter may be a while folks, I owe a chapter to my followers at 'A Flowers Observations', my Hunger Games fanfic. They haven't had a chapter since 12.12.13, so you can be grateful you got these so quickly!

Hoping this is better,
