"Guess who?" A male voice asked from behind Olivia. A slender hand covered her electric blue eyes.

"Hmm…I don't know." Olivia sarcastically said, already knowing whom it was. "Could it be…Remus?" She turned around to face the tall scrawny 5th year.

"How'd you know?" Remus asked, gently placing a kiss on Olivia's lips.

"Lucky guess." She replied, smiling.

"I have something for you." Remus said, a mischievous glint showed in his smile.

"A present?" Olivia asked, excitedly.

Remus nodded before pulling a boutique of flowers from behind his back. Pinks, yellows and orange flowers all stood out under the dim light of Honeydukes.

"They're beautiful!" Olivia said, taking the flowers from him.

"As are you." Remus grinned down at her before planting a quick kiss on her lips.

"Thanks." Olivia replied, blushing.

"Aw how sweet." A voice said behind them. They both turned to see Sirius striding their way.

Remus was now blushing too when he said, "Hey Sirius."

Sirius nodded a greeting before asking, "Have either of you seen Julia?"

"No sorry." Remus answered, shaking his head.

"Damn, I lost her in the crowd before." He quickly explained. "Say, what are you two doing in here?" He asked glancing sideways at a window revealing the streets of Hogsmeade.

"Shopping, what else?" Remus answered.

"It's raining you know." Sirius said.

"Really, I didn't notice." Remus joked sarcastically. After spending a few seconds outside, he was already pretty drenched.

Remus obviously wasn't catching Sirius's 'trying to be subtle' hints but he continued with them anyways. "I remember two people that have a certain thing they have to do in the rain."

"Oh," Remus muttered before looking down at Olivia.

"Well go on." Sirius encouraged.

"Right," Remus slid an arm around Olivia before leading her outside. "After you." He opened the door for her before throwing a grin back at Sirius.

In response, Sirius gave him the thumbs up before turning back around in search of his dark haired girl friend.

The rain pattered hard on the heads of the two Gryffindors. Olivia let out a small shiver as the large raindrops were drenching her.

She looked shyly up at Remus, her blond wet hair plastered against the side of her face. Remus hesitated a second before pulling Olivia closer to him.

Unlike Sirius and James, Remus had never been as comfortable with kissing girls. Though he knew what to do and how to do it, he was just shyer about it.

Olivia felt Remus's soft hands on her waist so stood up on her tip toes to reach his lips. Remus was skinny and at least a foot and a half taller than Olivia's petite and curvy frame.

Remus threw her a quick smile before bowing his head. Lips colliding, Olivia ran her hands up Remus's chest until the rested on his shoulders. Remus shivered under her feather like touch feeling sparks of electricity flow through him.

"They're so cute." Lily cooed as she caught sight of the Olivia and Remus from the Joke shop's window.

Julia chuckled upon seeing them, "They're both blushing, how sweet."

"You're making me sick." Sirius dryly replied.

Lily grinned and turned to face the two less than interested Gryffindor boys. "You could learn a thing or two from Remus. Both of you." She stated to Sirius and James.

James raised and eyebrow at her, "Oh yeah?" He asked.

Lily nodded before turning back out the window. "Come on Lily, I could never act all shy and sweet like that." Sirius said, turning over a box of candy to see the contents of it.

"I'm not talking about that." Lily said. "Remus is a gentleman."

Both boys burst out in laughter and Lily let out a sigh. Julia turned and asked Lily, "Could you imagine Sirius opening a door for me? Or giving up his jacket to me?" She said, with a grin.

"Hey, I'd do that." Sirius argued. Both girls turned to him with apprehensive looks plastered on their faces. "What? I would."

Lily rolled her eyes and took a quick glance out the window before saying, "Let's go to the Three Broomsticks. I'm starving."

Flooded with water, Remus looked down at Olivia. Tiny rain droplets gracefully fell down her small face before splattering down to the ground.

"I must look like a wreck." She said, smiling up at him. "I'm soaking."

Remus returned the smile and kissed her forehead. "You're beautiful."

Olivia blushed and her eyes quickly found the saturated pebble road. Remus took her chin in her hand and lifted her face to look at him. He was deciding if her reaction to his compliment meant she didn't believe it or she was just being modest about it as he looked into her big blue eyes.

Her bottom lip quivered because of the intense stare between the two. She wanted to break it but something in her way drawn to those gray orbs that made her look back at him. Remus smiled at her before kissing her quickly on the lips.

"We should be getting inside." Remus said, tossing his head to the side, spraying little droplets of water onto the ground.

"Right." Olivia said, forcing herself to look away from him.

Remus smiled inwardly as he led her through the wet streets to the Three Broomsticks.


"Come on you." Sirius took Julia's hand and pulled her towards him.

"Come on where?" Julia asked. "Another broom closet. You know that would make four today."

Sirius laughed, "As nice as that sounds, I think we have something better to do." He tucked a loose strand of her hair from her ponytail back behind her ear as he spoke.

"And that something would be...?" Julia asked.

Sirius grinned mischievously are his girlfriend, "I think you know."

"If I knew why would I be asking?" Julia returned, smiling.

Sirius sighed as if he was upset that she didn't know what he was talking about but of course, he wasn't. "I'll have to show you then."

Sirius led Julia down the hall towards the Great Hall and out the Entrance doors. The air and ground was still damp from the day before rain shower. "Oh, now I remember." Julia groaned as Sirius brought her over to the green house where the ground was saturated with water.

"Behold, mud." Sirius said, extending a hand down at the muddy ground.

"Sirius, I don't think this is such a good idea." Julia said. She wasn't quiet fond of the idea of rolling around in the mud though the making out with Sirius part she didn't have a problem with.

"Come of Juls, you have to."

"No I don't." She argued, crossing her arms over her chest in defiance. "And there is nothing you can do to make me." As soon as the words slipped past her lips she regretted saying it. She knew that telling Sirius 'you can never' was the sure way to get him to do something.

"Oh really?" Sirius asked, picking a handful up of mud.

"What are you going to do with that?" Julia nervously backed away from Sirius.

"Give it to you." He replied.

"Sirius don't you dare!" Julia said, trying to sound stern though the air didn't suit her usually carefree attitude.

"And what are you going to do to stop me?" Sirius questioned as he advanced on her.

"Please Sirius..." She whined which obviously didn't do any good because the handful of mud went hurling at her, hitting her in the side of the face.

Sirius laughed at the stunned expression on her face. "Point for me." He said.

Julia wiped the mud as best as she could off of her face. "You know what this means?"

"That you'll make out with me now?" Sirius questioned, awaiting her next move.

"War." Julia's eyes narrowed at Sirius before she scooped up a handful of dirt. Sirius laughed as she threw the dirt at him but it just barely grazed his shoulder.

"You know, for being a Quidditch player, you sure aren't that good at throwing." He teased. Sirius quickly grabbed two handfuls of dirt before advancing on Julia.

Julia made a run for it but Sirius, having a head start, quickly caught her. Sirius grabbed Julia around the middle, smearing mud on her shirt as he did.

"No!" Julia squirmed out of his grasp and took advantage of the free opportunity when he knelt down to get some more dirt. Julia tackled him to the ground so he was laying on his stomach in the cold wet mud.

"Ha ha. That'll teach you." Julia said triumphantly.

"Hey, I never said I had a problem with the mud..." Sirius said, having no objections to Julia sitting on him.

"No problem with mud huh?" Julia asked, pushing his head down a little with the palm of her hand.. "So you won't object to a face full of mud."

"Well..." Sirius said. "If you did, you'd be in a lot of trouble." A mischievous glint crossed his face.

"Oh and who's going to make trouble for me?" She questioned.

"Me." Was his reply.

"Really?" Julia continued, not at all intimidated by his threats because she knew he was just joking. "Because I'd like to see you try to punish me." She said, before pushing his face into the slimy mud.

The chunky wet dirt caked over Sirius's face as it hit the ground. "Now you've done it." Sirius said, once Julia lifted his face from the ground. He spit some mud out of his mouth and blinked it away from his eyes.

Julia laughed, "And what are you going to do about it?"

"This." He replied and in a swift motion that Julia completely missed, Sirius flipped them so he was on top.

"No Sirius!" Julia whined as she tried her best to lift herself up of the ground. Naturally, that left the two in an awkward position seeing as Sirius was on top of her and Julia trying to arch her hips to stay out of the mud.

Sirius laughed as he watched her blush. "Oops." Julia said, accepting her fate and lowering herself into the mud.

"What was that about?" Sirius jokingly asked her. "Trying something new there Juls?" He teased.

"I didn't mean it." Julia replied, an embarrassed smile on her face. "You know that." She said, looking up at his mud-covered face.

Even covered head to toe in mud, Sirius was still the most handsome guy Julia had ever laid eyes on. His dark eyes glowing with mischief and daringness made her heart flutter at just a quick glance.

"Yes, of course I know that." He said, leaning down to kiss her.

"Don't you dare Black." Julia said, putting a hand on his chest. The idea of a muddy kiss wasn't exactly something she wanted.

Sirius grinned down at her before leaning down again to kiss her. Julia squirmed and turned her head to the side while pushing up against him with her hands. "Go away..." She joked.

"Don't make me do this the hard way..." He said, with a sly grin plastered on his face before trying to kiss her again.

Her arms were keeping Sirius from getting to her lips so he tried his best to pin them down next to her head but she wasn't about to comply without a fight.

Julia laughed, "Sirius I hate you."

"I love you too." Sirius answered before finally, after much more squirming, his lips locked over hers.

Julia figured there was no sense in objecting to him kissing her seeing as she was already covered with mud. So she let him kiss her; explore her mouth with his tongue.

Sirius was the first to break the kiss as he said, "And that's what you get for being such a troublesome-…mmm…" He was cut off as Julia's lips hit his again, begging for more.

Sirius happily complied as he let his hand slid down her side and rest on her waist. Julia's hand found Sirius's hair and she gently ran a hand through it.

"I. Love. You." Sirius muttered in-between little kisses he places on her cheek and down to her chin. He continued planting kisses down her chin and neck causing her to wriggle under him.

Julia laughed, "That tickles."

Sirius grinned slyly, his kissing had obviously had the desired effect, and so he did it again.

"Sirius!" Julia laughed and squirmed under his lips, bending and twisting herself away from him.

Sirius stopped and looked down at her, smiling. Once Julia realized that he was going to stop his attack of kisses, she met his eyes with her own.

"I love you." Sirius repeated for the umpteenth time that day.

Julia searched his eyes and her smile faltered a little. "I have question."

"And I might have an answer." He replied, burying his head in her neck.

"Do you ever think about the future?" She asked.

Sirius caught on to her seriousness and looked back into her eyes. "Yeah."

Julia was silent for a while before cautiously saying, "And where do you see us?"

"Together." He replied confidently and immediately. "Why are you asking?"

Julia bit her bottom lip and thought before saying, "Because I'm so much happier now that we're together. So I always want to be with you." She said, her eyes faltering down before meeting Sirius's eyes again.

A soft smile curled across Sirius's lips. "We'll always be together. And we'll always be best friends so stop worrying that little head of yours."

Julia grinned in response. "Promise?"

"I promise Juls. You and me against the world." He ran his hand down her face and through mud caked hair while answering.


"Come on, in here." Julia said leading Sirius towards the Quidditch Pitch. They had tried to get back into the castle but Filch wouldn't have two muddy students walking up to the dorms.

"Ruddy Filch." Sirius said.

"You just don't like him because he always rats you out." Julia replied, squeezing his hand tightly.

"Yeah well…" Sirius muttered, knowing she was right. "But you do have to admit that he is creepy."

"That's mean." Julia replied, as she started to unlock the Gryffindor locker room.

"Oh please don't tell me you have a crush on him or something…" Sirius teased, leaning up against the wall as he watched Julia put the combination into the lock.

Julia grinned and threw him a quick glance. "Of course not. I have eyes for only one man." She replied.

"Me?"

"I said a man." Julia cheekily replied, a grin crossing her face as she clicked open the door.

"Oooh. That hurt Carr." Sirius sarcastically said, pinning her up against the wall before she could go inside.

Julia felt her heart jump as he leaned his body up against her before planting an aggressive kiss on her lips.

There lips danced in perfect harmony, both of them knew each other mouths by heart and savored the moments the spend like that. "So who is this man then? Don't you think I should know?" Sirius asked, leaning his forehead against her.

Julia felt his soft breath hit her muddy face as she starred down at his lips, almost entranced by them. "Dumbledore…" She whispered.

"Dumbledore?" Sirius repeated. "So you like the old guys?"

Julia chuckled, "He's not that old."

"Juls, he's like fifty."

"Definitely forty." Julia argued a mischievous smile crossed her face.

"Fine." He said. "Let me guess. You like those wrinkly hands that can move mountains the most?"

"Sirius!" Julia said, punching him in the arm. "You're so perverted!" She pushed him off of her playfully and walked into the locker room.

Sirius laughed at her reaction. "It was a joke. But I bet it will make you think twice of leaving me for Dumbledore." He teased.

Julia nodded in agreement as she walked over to her locker she used during the Quidditch season.

"So what's the point of showering anyway I mean, we're just going to have to put on these filthy cloths again." He pointed out.

"Because we don't have to put those filthy cloths on again." Julia replied, pulling some cloths out of her locker.

"There is no way you're getting me into one of your skirt." He put his arms around her as she searched her locker for cloths to wear.

Julia chuckled, "Dolt. You can borrow some of James's. His locker's the next one over." She said, nodding to her side.

Sirius glanced at the locker before resting his head on her shoulder, taking in a whiff of her sweet smelling shampoo. "I love you." He repeated again.

Julia turned around in his arms so she was facing him. "I love you too." She whispered before kissing him quickly on the lips. She broke away from him and headed over to the showers.

Sirius quickly grabbed the first cloths he found in James locker and followed her.

Julia reached to take off her shirt when she realized Sirius was still standing next to her, watching her with a sly grin on his face. Reading his mind, Julia said, "We're not showering together." A small smile crossed her face at his reaction.

Sirius pouted. "You're no fun." He said, as he moved down the room to another shower.

Julia laughed, "You'll get over it."

"Will not." Sirius argued. Julia merely rolled her eyes at him as she quickly got unchanged and stepped into the rather cold shower.


A/N I hope this chapter is better than the last one. But how could it not? Last one was pretty bad…

Anyways, next chapter is going to be a good one. I'll do Lily and James at the beginning and I have something else I'm planning. It'll be good.

So I'm planning on going back and revising some of my old chapters and if anyone has seen anything majorly wrong with let me know and I'll fix it.

Remember, reviews make me write faster….
