*Last Chapter*

Severus smiled, and Marlene could have sworn she saw a slight temer of an evil smile in there, "Excellent. Now since it would look strange seeing the three of us together and the two of you together without trying to rip each others head off.

Marlene and Sirius looked away from each other for a moment.

"I will contact you when I have the rest of the details for the prank, now go." He said and turned his back to them and started to skip stones again.

Marlene and Sirius both walked away having a really bad really bad feeling about the whole thing and only hoped that things wouldn't go horribly wrong.

*Marlene*

"Are you ok Marls?" Lily asked Marlene as they were walking around.

It was the last week of classes and Marlene couldn't have been farther from ok. Weeks had done by since her and Sirius as agreed to work with Severus. From that day the three of them would discuss what they would do whenever they knew that they would be see by someone. So, in other words not very often. That's why it had taken so long for it to go into action. They had just finished their O.W.L.s and every 5th year student was would on the ground enjoying the the warm summer air and celebrating the end of exams.

"Yeah..." she said, "I'm just worried about the Herbology exam, I think I did really bad." Complete and utter lie, but it seemed good enough for Lily, luckily. Usually she would have asked more questions. Thats when she reminded herself that that was why she was doing this. So she could get the old Lily back.

"I'm sure your just over reacting, you did great. Herbology is one of your best subjects." Lily replied and gave Marlene an encouraging smile.

Marlene returned the smile, though it was more forced than natural.

"So, what do you want to do?" Lily asked after a few moments of silence.

Marlene shrugged, she knew she had to wait for the signal before she was supost to do anything, "Lets go sit by the lake." It was a safe spot to go and a god place to wait for the signal.

*Sirius*

"Did you like question ten, Moony?" Sirius asked as they walked out on to the school grounds and over to their usual tree.

"Loved it, name five signs that identify the werewolf." Remus recited with a smile on his face, "Excellent question."

"Do you think you managed to get all the signs?" James joked, nudging Remus

"I think so. One - he's sitting in my chair. Two - he's wearing my clothes. Three - His name's Remus Lupin."

Three of four Marauders burst out laughing.

"I don't know.." Peter said speaking up, " I think I messed that one up."

"How?" James asked looking at him, "You run around with one once a mouth."

Peter stayed silent.

Once the rest of them collected themselves they say down and Sirius had became a little more serious (no pun intended).

"You alright, Padfoot?" James asked, making Remus and Peter looking up at him.

"Wha- yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

James looked at him before taking out his snitch from his pocket, "I don't know.. you just looked.. Never mind."

Sirius nodded, and watched him as he played with the snitch. Was he making the right choice by doing this? Well, even if it was, it was too late to back out now.

"Don't you ever get tired of playing with that thing?" Sirius asked suddenly.

James looked up at him, "You know the answer to that. It's like answering Moony if he ever gets tired of reading." he responded with a slight smirk and motioned to Remus who looked up from his book and rolled his eyes.

Sirius looked around when none of them were looked them down at his watch, it was 1:00pm. Then right on queue Sirius saw Severus Snape walking across the grounds. Sirius nudges James in the ribs, "Hey Prongs look who it is..."

*James*

James looked up and to where Sirius was pointing. His blood started to boil, he still hated Snape with all his being, but he still did nothing. Though it seemed that James had an expression on his face because Sirius made a loud whistle, "Hey, Snivellus!"

James saw Severus look over and snide smirk came formed on his face and he turned and started walking towards them. This threw James completely off guard. Since when did Severus Snape willingly walk over to them? Even if he was up to no good.

"Potter, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew." Snape addressed them.

"What do you want Snape?" James asked glaring at the boy crossing his arms.

"What do you mean? You're the one that called me over here.." He commented acting all innocent.

James's hands clenched at his sides, but he didn't respond.

Severus took his silence at his queue to continue, "Then again if that's your way of asking what's on my mind, then I would have to say that your manner are getting better Potter." he smirked. Only infuriating James more, and he knew it. "Also, another thing that's on my mind is, Lily..."

"Why would she be on your mind?" He spat.

"Oh you know, things like, 'why is she spending her time with Potter when she could be doing something more worth wild...'" Severus began to list.

This made James stand up, his arm twitched towards his wand. Severus saw this movement and it only made his smirk bigger, "Also, things like, 'She mustn't have very good taste for liking a git like you. Someone who's arrogant, careless, overconfident..."

A crowd had started to gather around them, but neither James nor Severus noticed, they were only focused on each other.

"Shut up Snape." James growled.

"Oh, but I'm only getting started, huge ego, conceded, thinks he's better than everyone else, he can get any girl he wants except the one he wants, wants absolutely nothing to do with him, will never see him more than a friend-" Severus didn't get a chance to finish, because James had finally snapped.

"I said shut up!" James yelled at Severus and shot out his wand, "Petrificus Totalus!" James yelled sending the body bind curse at Severus, then in the het of the moment before he knew what he was doing thought, 'Levicorpus!' and Severus was raised into the air, but his ankle. Jame's heard nothing else of anything going on around him, jut his hatred for Snape filling his mind. Until he heard it, "POTTER!"

*Marlene*

Lily and Marlene were sitting out by the lake when she heard it, Sirius's whistle. That was the signal. Marlene now knew that all she had to do was wait 5 minutes before somehow getting Lily there. They agreed with 5 minutes because that should have been enough time for Snape to have James crack.

"Did you hear that?" Lily asked looking around for the source of the sound.

Marlene shook her heard, "I don't know what you taking about, maybe it's all the parchment finally getting to you." She joked.

Lily rolled her eyes, "Ha ha. Very funny, but I serious, I heard something and it sounded like it came over there. She pointed in the direction to where Marlene could now see a crowd of people walking over. 'Show time', she thought. Though part of her wanted to stay by the lake and not go through with the plan, she knew she had to. "Want to go check it out?" Marlene asked standing up.

"Sure." Lily agreed and stood up to and together they walked over to the crowd. Marlene felt a lump form in her throat.

*Lily*

Lily followed Marlene over to where there was a crowd of people around a tree. Lily started to get a bad feeling about to what she was walking into, old memories coming alive in her head, then she heard, "Petrificus Totalus!". She knew the voice in which the spell came from, but didn't want to believe it. Her and Marlene shoved their way to the front of the crowd. Lily's eyes widened at the sight, Serverus was being levitated in the air, by his foot. By James. She shook her head, at first he thought she was imagining things. The look on James's face was the same one that was on the last time he did this, cocky, arrogant, and full of anger. She didn't want to believe it because she thought he had changed, that he was done with all this.

Once the shock wore off anger took it's place, she didn't care that it was Severus he was torturing, it wasn't right, "POTTER!" she yelled.

All of a sudden it was like everything was happening in slow motion, James looked at her and she saw his eyes widen, they were hard to read, but Lily could have sworn she saw shock, regret. Then Severus fell from the air and to the ground both spells taken off him. Then Lily finally spoke, her voice low and dangerous, "I should have known that you hadn't changed. Your still the same, big headed, obnoxious, boy that thinks he's better than everyone else." Then Lily gave a laugh, though there was no humor to it, "You really had me fooled Potter." Then she turned away and started back towards the castle as she held back tears, and her heart felt slightly heavy.

Walking away she missed the small smirk of pleasure that creeped on to Severus's face at the sight of James's face and both Marlene and Sirius couldn't believe what they saw and what they had just done...
