Ever since their first date Sirius and Marlene were inseparable. It had been two weeks since their first date. They were walking arm in arm to D.A.D.A., their last period on Friday.

"I hate my roommates," Marlene stated bluntly.

"What?" Sirius asked utterly confused.

"Not Alice and Grace, but Brown and Moore are driving me up a wall," Marlene said.

"Natalie and Eliza?" Sirius questioned.

"Ya. It used to be okay, because Lily used to help me tell them off, but she's in the Head dormitory. Grace doesn't like to yell at people and Alice is too busy sneaking off with Frank. I mean they're just such bimbos."

"Well it seems you have quite a dilemma there," Sirius began, "Shall try to forget about it while we make our patronuses."

"I'll try," Marlene muttered as they walked into the already full classroom.

Ever since Sirius and Marlene had gotten together, Lily and Grace had been hanging out together a lot. Both Marlene and Alice were with their boyfriends 24/7. The two girls were sitting in D.A.D.A chatting quietly. Until Professor Johnson collected their essays they had written about Patronuses, and asked them to cat the spell. Throughout the room, silver animal were running or flying around the room. Amongst them, two owls were flying around next to each other, a golden retriever and shaggy black terrier were playing with each other, and a stag and a wolf were play fighting, the stag had a rat sitting in between its antlers.

"Well done everyone," Professor Johnson began, "Class dismissed."

She quickly glanced at Grace's and her own patronuses. Grace's was some type of four leg creature. Then she looked at her own. As she examined it closely, she saw that it vaguely represented a doe. Lily put her wand away and headed back to her desk. As she packed her bags she glanced around the room to see if anyone had noticed her patronuses new form. No one seemed to have noticed. Lastly, her eyes fell on Marlene and Sirius. Marlene had been to infatuated with her relationship with Sirius to try to confront her about what she had discovered the last time the class had been casting patronuses. She looked at Sirius. He stood next to Marlene, holding his wand which he was still casting a patronus with, his eyes were glued to the spot that Lily's patronus had been. Lily grabbed her books and ran out of the classroom, unfortunately Sirius had longer legs and was faster in general. When he caught up to her Sirius grabbed Lily's bag.

"What happened to hating him?" Sirius asked. As Lily looked up at him, she knew it was no use lying.

"I don't know," Lily mumbled.

"Well how long have you been having these types of feelings?" he asked.

"The summer," Lily responded. Sirius raised his eyebrows.

"When are you gonna tell him?" Sirius asked.

"Never," Lily responded certainly.

"Well, too bad 'cause I'm tellin' him," Sirius said and began to walk away.

"WAIT, I'LL DO ANYTHING, JUST DON'T TELL HIM!" Lily exclaimed. Sirius turned around quickly.

"Anything?" he asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Well, not-,"Lily began.

"Haha! You can't take it back, you said anything," Sirius exclaimed, "There one thing you can do that can stop me from telling James."

"What?" Lily asked.

"You must become my marauder apprentice," Sirius propositioned.

"Huh," Lily said.

"In other words, you must break rules and/or publicly humiliate yourself on my orders.

"And if I do this apprentice thing, you won't tell him?" Lily asked.

"That''s right," Sirius grinned.

"Fine," Lily agreed through clenched teeth.

"Well, we have to say a marauders oath, Sirius said. He spit on his hand, held it out for Lily to shake, and gestured that she should do the same. When he saw she wasn't going to do the same, he patted her head with his spotty hand, and said," Well that'll do," in a strange accent as Lily made a disgusted face. "Meet me in the common room tonight at 2AM," he said and walked away. Lily sighed, and began to walk back to the Heads dormitory.

After dinner Lily went to her dorm, and tried to finish some of her homework. She finished around eleven, and with nothing better to do before two, she sat her alarm and went to sleep. When she woke up up, Lily ran a brush quickly through her hair, threw on a pair of shoes, and walked to the Grryfindor Tower. As she stepped through the portrait hole she noticed that the common room was empty. She began to think that the meeting itself was a prank, until she turned around and saw Sirius standing behind her.

"Hello, and welcome to your maraudical initiation," he said in a somewhat robotic voice.

"Maraudical, isn't a word you dumb-ass," Lily said.

"In my book, it is," he replied. "So, shall we begin?"

"Sure," Lily said tiredly.

"First stop, Minnie's classroom," Sirius said enthusiastically and started to walk out of the common room with Lily close behind him.

When they got to the classroom Sirius began to explain what Lily's task was, "Now the point of me bringing you here is to test your pranking abilities. You have 45 minutes. Begin."

Lily raised an eyebrow and Sirius exclaimed, "Well get going!" Lily trudged in to the classroom.

Forty-five minutes later, Sirius marched in to find Lily sleeping on one of the chairs. He rolled his eyes and shook her awake.

"Well, what did you do?" Sirius asked impatiently.

"Look at the desks," she said sleepily. Sirius bent down to see inscriptions written neatly on each desk in the room. He smiled to himself as he read:

Looking for a good time?

Owl Minerva McGonagall.

Headmistress in training.

"Well done my protege," Sirius complimented in his strange accent. Lily rolled her eyes.

"So, can I go now," Lily said.

"Sure, I'll meet you in front of your dorm tomorrow at 2:30AM," Sirius said as Lily walked out.

Sirius looked at the inscription, and laughed, feeling a bit sorry for Lily who was definitely in over her head.
