Hey, everyone! I don't own jack-diddly.

Okay, so how are you all? This chapter introduces a familiar character from book four-(Gasp! GoF was awesome!)and hurrals one of the couples into another tragedy. I had to adjust this suprise character a bit to make the story work so, if ages seem a little distorted, please remember my forwarning. This chapter is also a little longer then the last, and, in my personal opinnion, much better. Plus, its got a little more drama. Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter! (A big THANKS and HOOAH out to all my readers, you guys are what makes this story the bomb!)

The Trouble Ahead

The next morning, James awoke to a soft, sweet sound filling his ears. He opened one eye to glance and see Lily sitting at his desk, huming a tune of some kind. James pulled himself out of bed quietly, and went to Lily, hugging her from behind.

"Hello, love. Hmmm...what are you singing?" James asked, closing his eyes and breathing in her scent. Lily quivered in his tight and caring embrace. Just having him touch her still was thrilling. His voice was low and rumbly, like a bear. His body was warm and soft and he smelt like warm sugar for some reason.

"Good morning, James. Oh, it was nothing. Just a little muggle tune that popped into my head. Ugh, I can't believe this!" Lilu said in an exhasperated tone. James looked over her shoulder at the newpaper she was reading. He sighed and dropped his head back into her shoulder, groaning slightly.

"Not again. I swear, this Voldemort guy is really starting to piss me off."

"Yeah, I know. I can't believe he is attacking muggles too. Look at this...an orphanage! How could anyone be so cruel? I mean, come on, they're children!" Lily cried, tears begining to form in her beautiful green eyes.

James hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head.

"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry you have to see this."

Lily sighed. "I just worry about my family...no matter how screwed up they may be. And I worry...about the children we could have. I don't want them to grow up with such terrible acts eupruting."

"Don't worry, Lily. I'll become and Auor and...kill him. Make him pay for all he's done."

Lily touched his arm and leaned her head back onto his chest.

"What are we going to do, James? We'll be leaving shcool in just a couple months. Leaving it forever-for real. Hogwarts has been my life, my world. How will we survive out in the real world?"

James hugged her tighter. "Lily, you have me, remember? I'll always be here for you. Do you want to live in a muggle community?"

Lily laughed and James smiled. At least she was laughing.

"No way. I want a cute little house in a wizarding area. It doesn't have to be much. Just as long as its liveable. And I want a garden. A pretty little garden with fruits, vegetables and flowers galore."

"Then it shall be done. I'm glad you choose a wizarding community. I want my little guy to be like his daddy. I want to teach him Quidditch and pranks and-"

"Wait a second. Who told you it was to be a boy? And there is no way our child is going to be as crazy as you!" Lily said with a smile. James pouted.

"Aww, Lily! That was totally out of line! I'm not crazy, persay...just a little rough around the edges." Lily laughed and hugged him tightly. James, the joker-was the James she loved. Thankfully, no signs of suicidal insanity had popped up recently.

"Of course, Potter."

"Say Lily, if it were a boy...what do you think you'd like to name him?" James asked slowly, looking into Lily's eyes. She pondered for a moment. Then, with a abrupt turn from him she sat on a comphey lazy boy nearst the blazing fire.

"James, what was your grand father's name?" she asked. James blinked at this, some what confused.

"Well...my father's was Harry Potter and my mother's was Jaques de Sariesaint...why?"

Lily smiled and turned to face him.

"Harry-it's brilliant. And if it is a girl we can name her after my grandmother, Shaliese Evans. Oh, just listen to them-Harry and Shaliese. Oh, if we have two little ones-" James began to laugh and took Lily into his arms.

"Lils, don't get ahead of yourself. We've barely started on the first one!" Lily cracked up into fits of laughter and grasped her boyfriend's robes.

"You're insane, Potter-but I guess that is why I love you so much." And so she kissed him. James smiled into her kiss and knew for once that Perfect Potter had finally lived up to his name. He had the game, the friends, the family and the girl.

"Who is that?" Alice Waggner asked, as she sat down in Herbology. Her friend, Drusella, shrugged as a rather handsome young man waltzed in. He had thick, light hair and deep, inticing brown eyes.

Madame Morphia raised a hand to silence the classroom and motioned for the boy to come to the front of the room. Girls were already whispering giggishly about the stunning new face, and a few rather annoyed looks crossed the boy's faces.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to Barty Crouch Jounior...I'm sure you all know his father, who is currently with the Ministry of Magic. I hope you all welcome him with the utmost expected courtesy and pleasure."

Barty Crouch Jr. smiled polietly at Madame Morphia and bowed slightly.

"And where might I take a seat, Madame?" he asked in a respective yet haughty air. Madam Morphia scanned the room and noticed the empty seat next to Drusella.

"Over there...near Miss Cammolie, raise your hand dear for Mr. Crouch Jr." Drusella looked up and raised her hand.

Sirius watched on with anticipation as the straw color haired boy walked over the the seat next to his girlfriend. Barty smiled kindly at Drusella who smiled back and removed her bag. He began to ask her questions and within seconds the two seemed to be getting along well.

"I reckon you should have chosen to sit with her today, eh, mate?" Moony said with a cunning grin. Sirius barely heard him, his eyes kept staring intently on the new boy and his beloved dark haired angel. Something began to rumble inside of him, growing hot and cold and traveling to his brain, sending thoughts of anger and pain roaring through his head.

Come on Sirius, they barely know each other. Don't you trust Drusella enough to at least be friendly to the new student? Of course, he trusted her. He just...didn't trust this...Barty Crouch Jr. person.

"Don't worry Sirius-we still think your dashing!" James said, laughing and hugging Sirius. Sirius laughed and shoved James off him.

"Mates, I don't worry. I've got this one in the bag."

Madame Morphia started class by pairing up students. Most students got one of their friends, but as Sirius began towards Drusella, he stoped short hearing the Madame ask Dru to help out Barty. Drusella shrugged indifferently, and looked at Barty. The boy smiled and nodded. Then, Drusella turned around to shoot Sirius and apologetic look, and Barty turned too, to see who she was looking at so dearly.

"Is that your boyfriend?" he asked in a strange tone. Drusella looked at him and nodded.

"That's Sirius. He's a really great guy...I'm sure you'll make fast friends with him. You seem the popular type and those are the kinds of friends you'll be better off making. They don't make better populars then James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew."

Barty nodded thoughtfully and whisped a strand of blonde hair from his eyes. He was a young teenager, probably fifteen or sixteen but had dashing good looks and mature intellegance. He held himself high but didn't seem to notice all the lovingly looks he was reciveing from the girls.

He sighed exageratedly and laid his head in his hand. Dru looked at him curiously and asked what could possibly be wrong.

Barty laughed and shook his head. "It's silly, really. I just...should have known someone as pretty as you would have a boyfriend. Especially a popular and handsome one." Drusella began to color and had to lower her eyes from his.

"Oh...well...I'm not pretty but-" Berty placed a hand on her's and she looked up at him with confusion and somw fear.

"If you've caught the attention of not only one of the most popular boys here at Hogwarts, but mine too-which I must say is very rare, you do pertain some good looks. And don't think twice about it. I think you're very pretty." Drusella looked away once again, trying to gain back her tanned features. She only ran into Alice who was grinning as she worked on the essay Madame Morphia has assigned them.

She then, slowly, looked around for Sirius who she found working with James. She sighed and hung her head, looking back at Barty with an appreciative smile.

After the Madame released them, Sirius raced out without a word. He could barely control himself-seeing Drusella with that boy all class was driving him mad! He couldn't understand why such a little situation made him feel like this but for once...he finally knew what it was like to be jealous.

"Sirius! Sirius! Padfoot, slow down, mate!" James, Remus and Peter cried as they rushed after their friend.

Sirius didn't stop until he was in the boys dormitory, where the three boys burst in breathing heavily with exhaustion and irritation.

"What the bloody hell's the matter with you, Padfoot? You don't just up and run without a word, leaving us to rush after you, screaming your name like we're in some lover's querral!" James snapped, glaring at Sirius.

"Nothing is wrong with me!" Sirius said angrily. Remus rolled his warm colored eyes and plopped down on his own bed.

"If it's about the new boy, I don't think you have a right to-"

"Oh, you don't think I have a right? I don't have a right to what, Moony? A right to not like him? Oh, but I'm guessing he has every right to flirt with my girlfriend!" Sirius shouted, rounding on Remus.

"Jesus Christ, Sirius, he's new around! He probably didn't know she was your girlfriend! Not everyone on Earth knows about your relationships, Padfoot." Peter snorted hotly.

"You stay out of this, Wormtail, if you know what's good for you!"Sirius snapped. Peter got a look of anger and irritation on his face and stalked towards Sirius, falling into one of his seldom threatening moods.

"No, I won't stay out of it! Come off it, Sirius! She's your girlfriend, not your God damn wife. And you know what I think? I think if this kid flirts with Dru, she has every right to flirt back! After all, you're the engaged one! You're the one whose cheating on her for lif-" And before Peter could finish his sentence, Sirius charged angrily at him, pouncing on him and throwing his fists in a furious faze. Padfoot didn't even bother to see what he was doing. He just swung his arms wildly and punched whatever he got in his way.

"Sirius!" James and Remus screamed as the grasped their dog-like friend and hauled him off of a very scared looking Peter. The two calmer boys shoved Sirius onto his bed and slowly,Sirius began to regain his composure.

"Sirius! What the Sam Hell is your problem! You're acting like a mad man, yelling at us and attacking Peter like that!"

Sirius stared at James and Remus for a moment, as they stood over their friend with their wands pointed threateningly at him. His eyes flased towards Peter, who was trying to get off the floor still looking quite shaken.

He sighed and leaped from his bed. Sirius grabbed his cloak and stormed to the door ebfore either of the boys could do anything.

"I'm going for a walk. Don't follow me!"

It was begining to get dark and Sirius was still out. He sat at Lonely Hill, trying to clear his head. It was safe to say that this wasn't going too well. Sirius was having a hard time concentrating. Already he had seen Drusella with Barty, and though their conversations were harmless, Sirius couldn't help but feel the jealous anger rising once again.

It was a cool, crisp night andthe stars shone brightly in the midnight blue blanket of darkness that fell upon the castle. A light breaze blew through Sirius' dark hair, ruffling in it in a way that could rival even James'. He sat in his lonely solitude, trying to think things out. He'd never felt this way before-it was all so new to him. It bothered him because he thought he was begining to loose trust in Drusella, and he didn't want that. Ugh, it was just so confusing! Sirius closed his eyes and dropped his head in his hands, running his hands through his dark hair.

Well, there is the first chapter! I do hope you liked it! (R&R if you wish!)
