Sorry that its been ages everyone but come on...one little review?

James is sulking and hes only a minor character!

I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

"Hey Marley" Sirius said as Marlene walked into the kitchen.

She stifled a yawn "Morning Sirius, Lizzy could I have a cup of tea?"

Lizzy pulled down another cup "Sure thang"

Sirius raised his eyebrows "What the hell was that?"

Lizzy shrugged "No idea"

"Morning all" James announced as he sauntered into the kitchen wearing only his boxers.

Lizzy glared at him and pointed to her cereal "Excuse me, eating here!"

James grinned "Not my fault if you can't appreciate the male form Sis`"

Sirius rolled his eyes "At least you two don't have to share a dormitory with it"

Lizzy smiled "Actually between Millie's lack of personal hygiene, Charlottes posing, and Marlene's snoring I`d say I'm pretty close!"

Marlene kicked her under the table "I do not snore!"

Lizzy cried out in pain "You do!"

Sirius laughed "Peter snores really badly; there are some nights when I just wanna throw him out of the window to make it stop!"

James smirked "Like you could lift him!"

Marlene looked disapproving but Lizzy grinned "Harsh"

"Especially with all that you eat!" Marlene said snottily.

Lizzy made a noise like an angry cat "Meow!"

Sirius put down his toast "I don't eat that much!"

"Course you don't" James said patronisingly as he rummaged in a cupboard.

There was a slight tapping on the window; "What was that?" Marlene asked.

James opened the window "It's an owl"

Lizzy paled as the jet black owl stepped in.

Sirius scowled at it "Why the hell is my brother writing to me?"

Marlene stroked the owl carefully "I don't think he is..."

James`s eyes widened "You're still going out!"

Lizzy sighed "Yes, why wouldn't we be?"

Sirius glared at her "Because he's a complete git and you've come to your senses?"

Lizzy glared right back at him "He is not a git!"

James crossed his arms and smirked "Then why haven't you told Mum and Dad about him then?"

Lizzys stomach tightened "Because they would make a big deal and..."

Sirius crossed his arms "But surely this is a big deal, I mean your dating a Slytherin."

James laughed coldly "Yeah, it's a modern Romeo and Juliet. There's no way it can have a happy ending!"

Lizzy forced herself to smile "Well if you have a duel with him I won't be very happy"

Marlene smiled "Tybalt was Juliet's cousin; it's the twins you need to talk to."

Sirius swore suddenly as Regulus`s owl bit him on the hand.

Lizzy quickly picked up the owl and moved it away from a furious looking Sirius.

"Go away James!" Lizzy shouted as she turned to her brother who was standing in her bedroom doorway.

James glared at her "You aren't going out today!"

Lizzy sighed "I am meeting Regulus and there is nothing you can do about it"

James stepped into the room "I could tell Dad"

"But you're not going to" Lizzy muttered as she moved over to her wardrobe.

"And why not?!" James said angrily.

Lizzy scowled at him "Because you know that I will kill you slowly and painfully"

James groaned melodramatically "You really couldn't have picked a worse boyfriend you know! Did you and your mates sit down and brainstorm possibilities?"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Oh yeah that's what we do at weekends, it was him or Snape!"

James looked thoughtful "You know I think my day to day life would have been easier if you`d picked Snivellus!"

Lizzy resisted the urge to slap him "You self centred...Why?"

James sat down on her bed "It really upsets Sirius"

Lizzy smirked "Because something female prefers his brother?"

James glared at her "It had better not be."

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Then why does Sirius have a problem with me dating his younger brother?"

Sirius stomped in "Because said brother is a worthless pile of shit and you deserve better"

Lizzy wasn't quite sure whether to be flattered or angry "Erm Sirius, thank you for trying to look out for me but I disagree with you about Regulus"

Sirius flushed "I'm serious Lizzy, the whole lot of them are bad news. I mean I should know!"

Lizzy put her hands on her hips "Well how would you know?! I know for a fact you haven't spoken to your brother for years!"

Sirius laughed madly and stepped towards her "Is that what he told you?! For your information he and the rest of my stinking family practically disowned me after my sorting!"

Lizzy stepped back "Will you to get out of my room!"

Sirius grinned "Aww did I catch you of guard?"

James who had been watching them argue quietly stood up and dragged Sirius out of the room.

Lizzy slammed the door behind them and kicked it, hard.

"Do you think I should wear my hair down?" Lizzy asked an amused Marlene.

Marlene smiled "Yes. You know the phrase hypocrite does spring to mind..."

Lizzy scowled at her via the mirror "This is our first proper date, Charlotte squeals every time they pass in the hallway."

Marlene laughed "Why it always Charlotte we attack?"

"Because she's an easy target, are you sure the tops o.k?" Lizzy asked, fiddling with the straps of her slightly skimpy top.

Marlene sighed "Its fine just stop fiddling with it! I highly doubt that Regulus will mind..."

Lizzy grinned "Thanks for that"

Marlene rolled her eyes"Yeah well avoid James on the way out."

Lizzy laughed "He`d lock me in my room"

Marlene giggled "Until your thirty!"

Lizzy looked at her friend properly "Are you sure you don't mind ditching you?"

Marlene smiled "I'll be fine with the twins, though I think they are going to make me play Quidditch!"

"If all else fails just run into them" Lizzy advised as she attached her birthday charm bracelet onto her wrist, which was now adorned with several charms.

Marlene smiled "Yeah, yeah. So how are you going to get to Diagon Alley?"

Lizzy shrugged "Oh I`ll just floo there."

Marlene looked completely non-plussed "Right, o.k then."

Lizzy sighed "Oh sorry, it means travelling through the fire."

Marlene smiled "Yeah that makes more sense Santa!"

"So what do you want to do?" Regulus asked nervously as they strolled down the alley hand in hand.

Lizzy smiled "We could go get an ice cream?"

Regulus looked relived "Yes, I mean it's very hot today"

Lizzy grinned as dragged him into the ice cream parlour "Let's enjoy it while we can then!"

Regulus smiled and went up to the counter "One large Vanilla and Chocolate sundae"

Lizzy bit her lip in annoyance; why hadn't he asked her before ordering!?

The boy behind the counter coughed "That`ll be seventeen sickles Sir"

Lizzy reached for her purse "Hang on..."

Regulus laughed "Don't be silly I`ll pay!"

Lizzy sighed "No you won't!"

Regulus handed over the coins "I just did"

He pulled her over to a table by the window and they sat down.

Lizzy gritted her teeth "We`ll split it!"

Regulus frowned "Don't be stupid, its good manners for me to pay!"

"This is ridiculous argument!"

"I completely agree"

"Then let me pay!"

"No!"

The boy coughed "Your Sundae Sir and Madam?"

Regulus smiled a Lizzy "Just put it in the middle"

Lizzy frowned at him "Thank you"

The boy smiled at her "No problem, enjoy your ice cream!"

They ate in silence for a bit until they both reached for the same biscuit.

Regulus pulled his hand back at once "You have it"

Lizzy shook her head "No its fine"

Regulus looked uncomfortable "It would be..."

Lizzy rolled her eyes and split the biscuit in half "There"

Regulus smiled at her "You're so practical!"

Lizzy smiled "Thank you, so how was Bellatrix`s engagement party?"

Regulus grimaced "Not fun, do you remember Rodolphus Lestrange?"

Lizzy shook her head "No I don't, was he in her year?"

Regulus nodded "Part of her little gang. Anyway the party was dreadful; Sirius had swanked of to your house, Andromeda disappeared halfway through and Narcissa spent the whole time trailing around after Lucius Malfoy"

Lizzy smiled sympathetically "What about you're Uncle Alphard?"

Regulus looked surprised "You know about him? I did talk to him a little actually, though he prefers Sirius..."

Lizzy patted his arm "Have you been quizzed on what subjects your doing?"

Regulus laughed "Well that's unavoidable; everyone made fun of divination of course!"

Lizzy laughed "Well of course they did, it's an utterly useless subject!"

"Says the girl who's taking..." he stopped abruptly but the damage was done.

Lizzy stared at the table for a few minutes in silence.

Regulus bit his lip "Sorry?"

Lizzy looked him straight in the eye "Yes I'm sure you are"

Regulus flushed "What do you mean by that?!"

Lizzys eyes flashed "That, you are only sorry because I am annoyed at you and not that you said something incredibly rude and racist!"

Regulus sighed "To be honest I don't see why you get so worked up about it..."

Lizzy stood up "Have you ever heard any stories about muggle killing? People consider it a sport!"

Regulus also stood up "Where the hell did you get that from?!"

Lizzy groaned "That's not the point! Can't you see why I'm angry?"

Regulus sighed and seemed to restrain himself "Look just calm down; I know girls can be a little irrational..."

Lizzy turned away in disgust "You know what Black you can get back to me when you get your head out of your ass!"

She stormed out not seeing how distraught he looked.

"Lizzy?" she spun round to see Remus standing behind her.

She quickly rubbed any tears from her eyes "Oh hi Remus"

He smiled "You`ll smudge your makeup..."

Lizzy swore under her breath "Oh great, thanks"

Remus frowned "Are you alright? You never struck me as the make up wearing type..."

Lizzy smiled "I'm fine, how are you?"

Remus grimaced "Same old really, how are Sirius and James holding up?"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "They seem to be planning a ton of pranks, and then testing them on us of course!"

Remus laughed "Aww, still aren't you used to it already?"

Lizzy smiled "I guess so. Oh I got your card by the way, thank you!"

Remus shrugged "No problem, sorry if it was a bit girly"

Lizzy grinned "I've got a great uncle who still gets me princess cards, do your worst!"

Remus laughed "I suppose being the youngest and a girl you must get a lot of stick?"

Lizzy shrugged "I can handle it, what about you? I can't imagine being an only child..."

Remus sighed "At times it's dreadful but I expect that I get a lot more peace than most people!"

Lizzy smiled "You should come stay at ours sometimes?"

Remus suddenly looked very uncomfortable "Oh I'm alright..."

"Remus!" a middle aged man marched over "Come on, we need to get home" he barked.

"Coming Dad" Remus turned to Lizzy "Tell thing one and thing two that I said hi"

A small woman with warm brown eyes appeared "Remus...Oh who's this?"

Remus smiled "Mum this is James`s little sister Lizzy..."

Mr Lupin extended a hand "John Lupin, a pleasure"

Lizzys shook his hand, being very careful not to wince when he crushed her hand.

"It's lovely to meet you but we really do need to be going" Mrs Lupin grabbed her sons hand.

Remus blushed "Fine, bye Lizzy"

Lizzy waved "Bye" not even thinking to tell him not to tell James that she`d been crying.

"So did you have a nice time today?" James asked as they sat down to dinner.

Lizzy tensed "Yes, me and Millie had lots of fun James. Thank you for asking!"

Sirius scowled "I'm glad!"

Mrs Potter smiled "Did you run into anyone dear?"

Lizzy smiled brightly "Well actually Mum I ran into Remus as well, he said to say hello to everyone."

Marlene jumped on the less awkward stem of conversation "Oh, did he seem o.k?"

Lizzy nodded "Yes he seemed fine. How were the twins?"

"I doubt they`ve changed that much overnight" James muttered.

Sirius smirked "So Lizzy what did you do in Diagon alley today?"

Lizzy kicked him under the table "Pardon Sirius?"

Sirius scowled at her "I said what you and your companion did in Diagon alley today?"

Lizzy smirked viciously "Oh the usual, ate ice cream did a little shopping. In the end we ended up messing around in the Leakey Cauldron!"

James and Sirius both choked on their food, James knocking his pumpkin juice over.

"What the hell was that?!" Lizzy jumped up and ran out to her balcony.

Regulus smiled sheepishly "Hi?"

Lizzy`s heart melted in an instant and she smiled "Should I thank Narcissa?"

Regulus shook his head "No your friend Marlene, she mentioned a muggle play..."

Lizzy laughed and she leaned on her balcony "Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare?"

Regulus shook his head "What's it about?"

Lizzy stared out to sea for a moment "There are these two fighting families who can't stand each other. Romeo comes from one family and Juliet comes from the other. They fall in love and run off to get married. To get away safely they fake their deaths but then something goes terribly wrong and they both end up killing themselves. Anyway there's this scene on a balcony…"

Regulus smiled "How appropriate! Still I hope we can abstain from the killing ourselves bit..."

Lizzy laughed "Yes let's do that!"

Regulus eyed the drainpipes cautiously "Will they stand my weight?"

Lizzy nodded "Yes, though you have proved your point..."

Regulus started climbing "I want a goodnight kiss"

Lizzy frowned "If James catches you in my bedroom..."

Regulus jumped onto the balcony and wrapped his arms around her waist "But Juliet, you can't let them old us apart!"

Lizzy sighed and wrapped her own arms around him "You know I really can't, come here..."
