The next few days consisted of Sirius and Katie being constantly together and so James and Lily were constantly together also as neither of them wanted to be away from their friend.

Things between Lily and James were quite awkward and unhappy but as the days went on they came together after a particularly bad fight:

Lily sighed then said "James can I talk to you for a sec?" surprising everyone there and even managing to scare James a little bit.

"Um-"James gulped -"Ok, yeah I guess so." James said nervously as he began to follow the red-head into an empty classroom before Sirius caught his arm saying "If she comes within two foot, Run!" with a concerned look on his face. James could only gulp and nod before going into the classroom to meet his fate.

"Look James this is hard for me to say so if you could just cooperate for two minutes that would really help." Lily said.

"Um yeah sure." James answered getting even more nervous.

"Ok well since Sirius and Katie have started going out we have been fighting more than ever. Maybe it's just because we're around each other more I don't know, but I think maybe, we should try to get along a bit more...for Sirius and Katie of course." Lily said unusually nervous.

James looked at Lily confused. All those wasted years trying to get into Lily's heart and now after he was done trying she opens up a little. All he could do was sit there staring back at her hopeful eyes and watch them grow slowly disappointed.

Lily sighed and dropped her head "I take that as a no." She said lifting her head a fraction. Eyes searching James dumbstruck face. "Ok then...well I guess I'll see you around." Lily said as she slowly started to walk out of the room.

Finally James got out of his dumbstruck demeanour and mumbled "She...she wants to be friends?" Before running after her down the hall and catching her arm pulling her around to face him and saying "I would love to try to be friends with you."

A smile twitched at Lily's lips as she asked "Are you sure? I mean it is just for Katie and Sirius of course."

"Of course." He answered

They stood together in the hallway for a few awkward moments before James said uncomfortably "So what do we do now? Do we like...hug or something?"

"Um...I don't know I'm not so sure about the hug. What about a hand-shake?" Lily asked just as uncomfortable.

"What like to seal the deal or something?" James said.

"Yeah I suppose." Lily said as she stuck out her hand straight in front of her.

"Um ok..." James answered taking her hand, as he took her hand though he felt a lightning bolt of pain shoot through his hand up his arm and into his skull. The same was happening to Lily at that same moment as they jerked their hands apart looking at each other worriedly.

"Madame Pomfrey?" James asked

Lily just nodded and they started up the stairs to the hospital wing.

"Has anyone seen James and Lily since they went to go talk?" Katie asked the general question to the room.

"Em...no I don't think so. I hope they're ok." Remus said worried.

"Ah they're probably in some random broom closet. Which brings me to wondering why I'm not in one? Katie?" Sirius asked looking at Katie suggestively.

"Um...I don't know maybe because I'm not a slut?" Katie replied.

Sirius paused then said "That's true." Then he smiled at Katie giving her big puppy dog eyes.

Katie smiled, and then got up saying "Fine. Which floor?"

"Yes!" Sirius said and grabbed her hand pulling her out of the common room and into the hallway and on to 'some random broom closet'.

Remus and Peter sat for a few minutes in silence looking at the door to the common room longingly as they both had had a crush on Katie in second year. Remus sighed before saying "Well I'm off to the library." He stood up, stretched and started to walk away when Peter said "Can I come?"

"What?" Remus asked confused. He was the only one of the four Marauders to EVER go to the library unless Sirius was going for the project meeting with Lily.

"Can I come to the library with you? I have some History of Magic homework I need to look up in the library." Peter said standing up and walking over to where Remus stood.

"Em...I guess so, yeah." Remus answered still shocked.

"Thanks I just want to get the book, I'll be down in a minute." Peter said as he started up the stairs to their dormitory.

"Yeah, sure." Remus answered.

Remus and Peter were walking to the library talking away about nothing in particular when Severus Snape nearly bowled them over, mumbling "Where to hide, where to hide??"

Remus was just about to ask what had happened when Sirius rounded the corner at immaculate speed running after him shouting "I'm going to kill you!!" very loudly.

Remus stood in front of Snape and asked "What is going on??" To a very angry, scary Sirius just as Katie came around the corner out of breath from running after Sirius.

"Sirius leave him alone!" Katie shouted to him.

"Why would I do that?" Sirius scowled.

"Because how was he supposed to know that the particular broom closet he was about to open had two people in it?" Katie said still trying to get her breath back as she walked up to a still fuming Sirius.

"He should have knocked." Sirius said staring pointedly at Snape.

"Would you knock?" Katie asked astonished at the thought of knocking on a broom closet door.

"Yes!" Sirius said finally looking at Katie.

Katie just raised her eyebrows and Sirius dropped his head mumbling "No."

"There you go. Now are you going to leave Snape alone?" Katie asked as if she was mothering a three year old in a tantrum.

"Ok." Sirius said enveloping Katie in a hug and mumbling a 'thank you' in her ear.

Just as they broke away James and Lily flew down the corridor past them running in the direction of the hospital wing. Sirius looked at Remus, Peter and Katie and they all started to run after them, shouting after them asking what was wrong.
