Note: Hey guys because you are all so awesome I've made it my mission today to find time and post another chapter for you guys.

Months have passed, it was already early January and things haven't gotten any better. James and Lily haven't said a word a each other, they haven't even looked at each other. Sure they were happy or so they say they are when their with their friends, but when they see each other, their faces are unreadable, it wasn't until the day they came back from holiday break that some real emotion was showed.

"I though my mum would never stop talking about you, 'Why aren't you a prefect?' ' You should be more like Lily and study..'" Marlene mimicked her mother's voice as her and Lily got off the Hogwarts express.

Lily laughed, "Well if she saw the real you she would probably have a heart attack, and besides your second in the year."

"Yeah, under you." Marlene said and nudged her, "And besides I'm probably third if you count Lupin.." Then Marlene mentally kicked herself, usually when anything about the Marauders was said, Lily got all quiet.

Lily felt a slight tug on her heart, and she thought she was just going crazy lately, but she just swallowed and kept going, "That's true, he is pretty smart, but your still smarter." she smiled.

Marlene smiled in thanks at Lily when they stopped short and saw Sirius Black, but the strange thing was, it was just him. No Potter, no Lupin, no Pettigrew.

"What do you want Black?" She asked her voice firm even though she slightly avoided his eyes, recently whenever she saw him her palms got sweaty, her heart started to pound in her chest. This started happening ever since that week before break.

*Flash back*

Marlene and Sirius were in on of the empty corridors. They had been talking about Lily and James and how neither of them have truly have been themselves. Marlene listened to Sirius talk, it was the way that it talked, with so must passion and care for his best friend. This was a side of Sirius that she had never seen a while new side of him.

"I really wish we could do something. But anything we do, there's a chance they will find out what we did and hate us forever..."

Sirius out a hand on her shoulder, "Lily won't hate you, no one could ever really hate you..."

If Marlene hadn't looked up at him and see him say it she might have not believed it, "You really think that?"

"Yeah... I do..." He admitted, "I mean you could, your smart, beautiful, funny..." He stopped as if realizing what he just said.

Then before she knew what was happening they were leaning into each other, Marlene's eyes closed, but right before their lips touched they heard voices coming their way and jumped apart.

"I-I got to go..." Marlene then said quickly and disappeared into the sea of students, her mind was racing.

*End flash back*

They hadn't talked since, but the affect was still the same. At night, she thought about their almost kiss, but did nothing about it.

Sirius somehow picked up on what she was thinking about and an emotion flickered in his eyes, but it passed as quickly as it came, "Marlene, Slughorn sent me to come get you, he wants to speak to you, something about the assignment you handed in before break." he shrugged.

"Ummm ok..."She said a little uncertain, "I'll meet up with you later?" She asked Lily, who nodded.

"I'll see you at dinner..." Then she walked off.

"Come on.." Sirius said and led Marlene over by the lake.

"Why aren't we going to the castle, I though Slughorn wanted me..."

"I had to say something to get Lily to leave without it looking suspicious, anyway I over heard dear Snape talking and I thought you might want to know..."

Marlene looked at him then after a moment said, "Well, go on.."

"Oh.. Right... Anyway, the first thing I heard was Snape talking to himself, which is weird all on its own, but he was saying how his plan worked perfectly and there's no chance that Lily and James will ever talk to each other, let alone look at each other again because of his plan and then he said something along the lines of, 'Potter doesn't deserve her' and 'She will be mine'. Snape's in love with Lily and knew that Lily was falling for James."

"How could we have been so stupid, that slimy git, dragged us into his stupid plan so he could try and win Lily over. We joined in for our own selfish needs and now we hurt the two people that we care about. Snape's going to pay..."

"I was thinking that same think, McKinnon." He smirked, his eyes shined, "and you and I both know that even if we hurt Snape it won't stop him, so it looks like we're just going to have to scare him..."

"What do you mean?" she asked him confused.

"You'll see, all you'll need to know is that we would have to do it next month and it have one night to pull it off. That's all you can know... for now, what do you say McKinnon, you in?"

"Is Gryffindor going to win the house cup?" She asked raised an eye brow at him, she would do anything if it means getting revenge on git that did this

He grinned, "Great, oh and Marlene?" He said before to turned to leave and place a kiss on her lips, "That was for the other day." He smiled, a real smile, not his usual smirk and turned back to the castle. Leaving Marlene staring at him as he walked away.

Note: Can any of you guess what Sirius's plan is? Let me know what you think. And I'm sorry if it's not my best chapter, I'm tired, but wanted to get this up since I might not be able to until next weekend.
