"Good morning sunshine!" Sirius bellowed in Kat's ear.

"Shut up idiot." Kat said taking small bites of her toast.

"Oh are we a little hostile?" Sirius asked in a baby voice as he bent over to put his face by Kat's. "Here I thought that you would be looking forward to our quality time together."

"You think sitting in detention for hours organizing detention cards in Filch's office is quality time?" Kat said her voice a harsh whisper.

"Sirius I would leave her alone. Peter accidently spilled juice on her skirt this morning." James said shoveling eggs into his mouth.

"And?..." Sirius asked sitting down next to Kat.

"Remus had to bring him to the nurse." James said laughing.

"He shouldn't have spilled anything on me." Kat said lifting her head up and yawning. "Where are Paige and Lisi?"

"Right here." Two voices said from behind her.

"Someone took too long in the shower." Lisi said elbowing Paige in the side. "I swear she took two hours, we were up at six."

"What were you doing in the shower that long?" James asked looking up at the pair who sat next to him.

"I was using my vibrator and screaming your name." Paige said swallowing the orange juice in her glass.

"That was a little too much information." Remus said sitting next to Lily as he threw his bag to the side.

The sound of flapping and a rush of air flew over the great hall as owls screeched onto peoples tables. "Mail's here." Sirius said yawning.

A very young tawny owl dropped on Kat's shoulder and nudging her cheek softly before dropping a Dailey prophet and package on her lap. "Good girl, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"When in the hell did you get an owl?" Sirius asked Kat who was opening her paper.

"It was a gift from my parents on making it to my seventh year." Kat said not looking up. "You guys this is bad news… death eaters are trying to find out and recruit werewolves."

Remus spit out the pumpkin juice in his mouth and started coughing and chocking. Kat watched as Sirius and James turned pale and grabbed their friend by the shoulders before patting his back and standing him up. "We will see you in class we forgot something that is very important." Sirius said his tone grave.

"But schedules haven't been handed out yet, you'll miss your classes!" Lily said looking up with worry.

"Here, call my name into this mirror and I will answer you. Tell me what our classes are." James said handing Lily a silver framed mirror.

"How am I going to get your schedule?" Lily asked as the boys started walking away.

"Lie to McGonagall or do something… this is important you have to help us." Sirius said looking into Kat's eyes.

"We'll do it." She said before watching them leave and turning back to her paper. She knew what was going on the minute Remus had turned pale.

She and Lily had noticed Remus missing days of school and how he got very antsy and sick looking in their second year so they investigated. They had watched him come back with horrible slashes and bruises and went to the library night after night coming up with nothing… until Kat was on her way to the kitchens and passed the infirmary to see Remus on a bed, bloodied and battered. They said he transformed last night and she knew.

"I should have never said…" Kat started looking guilty.

"Kat you forgot. It's not your fault." Lily said rubbing her back soothingly.

"Forgot what?" Paige asked before taking another sip of her juice. She had been looking at the door every minute to see what was wrong.

"I think the boys should break it to you guys." Kat said leaning her head in her hands.

"What is there to explain? What is wrong with Remus?" Paige said desperately.

She and Lisi looked at each other helplessly as Kat played with the package in her hands.

"I can't say… only the boys can." She said looking torn.

"We're your best friends Kat, I just want to know why. Lily can't you tell me?" Paige said looking like she was on the edge of anger and a breakdown.

"It's not my secret to tell." Lily said looking at Paige.

"Then how do you know?" Paige said standing up and stomping her foot.

"We found out by mistake. Listen we will have a meeting with the boys for them to tell you." Kat said trying to cut a deal with an outraged Paige.

"How in the hell will they agree if my two best friends can't tell me damn it!" Paige said throwing the Dailey Prophet in a platter of eggs causing them to spill on people around them.

"Paige sit down! Why in the hell are you so mad?" Lisi asked trying to get her friend to sit down.

"Because… I'm scared and I feel helpless." Paige said feeling tears sting her eyes. "And then my own best friends can't even tell me anything anymore… I'm so scared."

"We all are Paige." Lily said.

"And seeing Remus like that and not knowing what was wrong… it scares me more. He is so strong and then he just…" Paige said losing her voice.

Lisi looked over to see Marley McCannon and her army of marauder worshipers staring at them with smirks on their faces; happy that the marauders ran away from them. "What in the fuck are you staring for McCannon, did we grow a fricken third eye. That's right go away go far, far away you hoe." She screamed as Marley left and ran with her groupies out the great hall entrance.

"I think that the boys and us need to talk." Kat said summoning their schedules from the pile in McGonagall's arms. "Here, take them." She said leaving the rest of the schedules on the table. She knew what she had to do as she saw tears running down Paige's face.

"Lily can I see that mirror?" She asked quietly grabbing her bags.

"Sure…" Lily said handing Kat the mirror. "Where are you going?"

"To find the boys." Kat said looking at Lily.

"You're going to miss class!" Lily whispered screamed at Kat.

"Then you better come up with a good excuse for me." Kat said before running out of the Great Hall.

"JAMES! JAMES! DAMN IT JAMES IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME!" Kat yelled into the mirror. She needed a place to stay and talk to James and went to find the room of requirement.

"Why in the hell do you have the mirror?" James whispered angrily his face scrunched up with stress.

"Because we need to talk. Lily and I know that Remus is a werewolf and we could give a crap but that little incident you pulled scared the shit out of Paige and Lisi. Paige pretty much busted into tears.

"How in the hell do you know?" he asked his anger fading into surprise.

"Me and Lily are smart girls and noticed a pattern… not to mention I saw him one night in the infirmary. Is he going to be okay?" Kat asked watching James face for anger.

"You're in the room of requirement… we'll be there in a minute." James said before his face came out of view.

"How do you know where I'm at?" Kat asked before Sirius' face appeared where James' had been.

"Kat are you okay?" He asked worry sketched on his face.

"I am fine. Is Remus…?" Kat asked.

"He's better but I think once we get him to where you are he will be better." Sirius said before coming in through the door in front of Kat.

"AHHHHH!" Kat screamed not knowing who it was at first.

"A little scared Bellsum?" Sirius asked smiling with Remus leaning on him.

"You fucking idiot I thought you were a teacher or something... you could have warned me you know." She said her breathing fast from screaming.

"But that would take away the fun of scaring you." Sirius said letting go of Remus and making sure he was in an armchair.

"You know…" Remus said in a low voice. "And you didn't say anything. Weren't you scared of me?"

"Nope. Lily and I figured you weren't dangerous to anyone if Dumbledore trusted you and your too sweet to hate. I don't think you have it in you to be a cold blooded killer." Kat said kneeling next to him and taking his hand.

"Do the rest… know." He asked quietly still not looking up.

"No, we thought that you should be the one to decide if they knew or not. But if you decide not to tell them than you are going to have to come up with a pretty good excuse. Paige looked like she was about to overflow when I left." She said standing up.

"Why have you kept the secret… you hate us…" He said looking into her eyes.

"Remus it's not our secret to tell and we don't hate you just your idiotic friends." Kat said hugging the pale and muscular boy.

"I need to decide… how will they react?" Remus asked more himself than anyone else.

"That's why I skipped class to talk to you. My girls are my first priority, I love them and we need each other, but they are scared. " Kat said looking at each boy.

"And…" Sirius said looking at Kat.

"They feel vulnerable… like they need someone to protect them and then you guys came along because of an idiotic bet. And with all of this Voldemort crap and Death Eater crap being throwing around can you blame us for being scared." Kat said her voice cracking.

"If we say that we will… I get free rein over Lily?" James asked his eyebrows furrowing together.

"Under her rule of course." Kat said smirking a little. "But if we are together than their can't be any secrets. We need to trust each other to feel safe. We will tell you about us if you tell us about yourselves." Kat said going back to her stern voice.

"I agree." Remus said weakly. "We have to tell them."

"What?" James and Sirius said exasperated.

"Mate we have a hell of a lot more to lose than they do if we spill out secrets around the campfire…" Sirius started his eyes wide.

"We need them… all of them and I think you need us right?" He asked Kat.

"We do." Kat said sternly.

"Then we need to be open to them. Remember what Dumbledore said at the feast. We need to protect them and they need to protect us. We need each other. They are our bond." Remus said to his to friends.

"You're right…" James said quietly. "I'll go tell Peter." He walked out the door in a rush.

"Tonight be here for seven with your girls." Sirius said with a rough tone to his voice, Kat had never seen him so serious. He lived up to his name well.

Kat started to walk out the door when she heard a voice behind her. "And I will protect you Kat… even if it is only to see you with your clothes off." Kat smiled and walked out the door.

"What in the hell happened back there? You missed two frickin periods and lunch!" Lily said as Kat sat next to her in their two person desk.

"Double potions with the Slytherins." Paige whispered behind her as a flash of black and green robes sat on the other side of the room.

"Great, first double potions on a Monday and then we have to have it with blood sucking snakes." Lisi said banging her head on the table.

Kat laughed at her friends freak out moment when she felt something prick her face. "I bet I can make you laugh like that, Bellsum."

"Sirius I swear I am going to beat the shit out of you if you don't stop sneaking up on me." Kat whispered to Sirius who was getting a little too close to her face for her liking.

"I want to see you try." He said blowing on the back of her neck.

"Sirius I swear I'll kick your ass." Kat said through gritted teeth.

"What Bellsum are you afraid of getting turned on." Sirius growled before putting his hands on her shoulders. Kat could here Peter's snickers as usual; he always worshiped anything Sirius or James did.

"The day you turn me on is the day hell freezes over." Kat said grabbing Sirius' hands and pulling them off her shoulders.

"If that is the case then hell is a cold place." He grinned as Kat turned around to face him.

"Black what are you insinuating?" She asked leaning on the boys' desk.

"That my mere presence makes your body do unusual things." Sirius said putting on a serious face even though James and Peter were in hysterics around him.

"If you mean dry heaving then yes my body does very unusual things." Kat snorted before pulling a piece of parchment from her bag.

"Denying these feelings can make them unbearable Kat. When you finally decide to let them out though, I will be there with whipped cream." Sirius said finally cracking a smile through his attempts to stay serious.

"Whipped cream?" Lily asked wide eyed at Sirius.

"If you feel jealous of Kat's treatment Evans, I can always offer you my services." James said winking at Lily who was scowling at him.

"Good afternoon class! Welcome to seventh year potions!" Professor Slughorn said as he walked in through the dungeon doors and walking up the hallway to his messy desk. "Today we will be making a calming draught; there is a list of ingredients on each door of the two ingredient closets. You have till the end of class to finish but since this is the beginning of the school year I will let some of you slide. Although I do believe some of us will do just fine." Slughorn said beaming at Lily, his prized student.

Kat and Lily went to the back of the room to get their cauldrons before heading to the closets to get their ingredients. "Lil's this closet ran out of toad's eyes." Kat said coming out of the closet with jars of ingredients for their potion.

"I'll go get some from the other closet. Go set up our cauldrons and make sure Potter and Black don't do anything stupid." She said before walking to the closet on the other side of the room. She looked at the various jars before spotting the one she needed. She grabbed it and turned around only to run into a cold lanky arm.

"Lily, can we talk?" A familiar voice said in a strained tone.

"There is nothing to talk about Severus, go back to your potion." Lily said harshly trying to escape through the door way which he closed with rapt attention.

"I saw you talking to Potter." Snape spit James' name out like it was a poison.

"When did that become a sin? I swear Snape if you don't let me out." Lily warned her eyes cold.

"He is horrible Lily… listen I can do more for you than he can. I can love you… I do." He said looking into her deep green eyes.

"If you truly loved me then you would have done what I asked of you a year ago. Unfortunately we both learned that Voldemort was more important than the friendship we had." Lily said before watching the door of the closet slam open; Kat, Sirius and James behind it.

"Please tell me Snivellus was that little speech supposed to make her run to you, forgive you and then have your little slimy children." James said his wand at Snape's neck.

"At least my children would be worth having Potter, your kid would be a rich know it all chasing skirts. I guess his father would fix all his problems and let him have free reign." Snape said venomously into James face.

"You seem to think Lily would want to have your children." Sirius barked out a laugh at the thought of Lily having Snape's children.

"She would rather have my children than yours any day." Snape said to the two boys. He watched as Kat hugged Lily who had her arms crossed over her chest and looking at him with hate. He could feel his heart breaking with every second of her heated glare.

"Sorry to break it to you Snape but I've known Lily for a long time and she has never wanted to have more than a friendship with you… she doesn't even want that anymore." Kat spat out at him before leading Lily back to their table.

"Leave her the hell alone Snivellus, she isn't interested in what you have to offer." James said turning around after Sirius before stopping and looking at Snape. "She's mine now… touch what belongs to me and I will kick your ass, don't think I won't." James said before turning away and heading back to his and Sirius' table.

Snape watched as Kat made Lily laugh and smile as the chopped up roots. He loved that smile, adored it from the first time he saw her when they were just kids. He watched on motionlessly as James walked up a kneeled next to her and whispered something in her ear. Lily glared at him before smiling a little at his face and slapping him playfully on the back of the head. Snape knew what was coming before Lily did, he knew that she would fall for Potter if he didn't intervene. He loved Lily more than James ever could and would never let anyone harm her. In his mind Potter would give her up as soon as he had his fun. Lily Evans would never fall for James Potter not while he was around to stop it. With a glare at Potter Snape turned around to walk back to his table where Lucious Malfoy was telling them about the dark mark on his arm. The same mark that made Lily stop loving Snape. The same mark that caused Lily Evans to hate him.
