A/N: Whoop new chapter :D I was begged (literatly) to do this and so here it is. Blue Luver5000 this chapter is dedicated to you seeing as you begged.

It's a nice happy chapter, well most of it ehe. Next chapter will be up sometime this week, maybe even two new chapters, but only if I get reviews xD Seeing as I've messed my plan up I'm now going to scrap a random fill-in chapter and just carry on with the main plot line which means Chapter 18 will now be Chapter 17 and so you will only have to wait 5 more chapter's instead of six to my favourite one :D Anway enough rambling...oooooo one more thing I've found this brilliant song that I think describes Lizzie and Sirius completely. It's Arms by Christina Perri xD ENJOY :) Much love to you all xx

''So everything's sorted then?'' Sirius asked shutting the heavy volume in front of him. It made a heavy thump as the pages closed on each other. Around him James and Peter were doing the same thing. The library was busy but they had hid themselves in their usual corner where they wouldn't be disturbed. Almost immediately the books floated off the table and went back to their original spaces. Sirius grinned as the book in front of him kept dropping with its weight.

''Yep everything's sorted and in good time too...it's full moon tomorrow.'' James said feeling happy with himself as he leaned back in his chair, a smile on his face. They had finally done it. After years and years of working it all out they had finally become Animagi. Well actually they had perfected the transformations a couple of days ago, but now they had finished all the last minute checkups they had needed to do. All three boys seemed extremely happy with themselves.

''Your sure Remus will be fine with this?'' Peter asked looking at his two friends.

''Of course he won't be. He'll probably be furious but then who cares, it's not like we can back out now Pete. Don't worry he'll come round sure enough, let's just hope it's by tomorrow.'' James said getting up from the table, his two friends following. Finally they could get out of this blasted library. He had never spent so much time in a place surrounded by books before!

''See ya Pincey, won't see us in here for ages.'' Sirius said to Madam Pince the librarian. She shooed them out of the wooden doors, a look of relief on her face. She like any other people had thought it weird that the three boys had spent so much time in the library and had thought they were thinking up of another prank to do.

As they walked back to the Gryffindor common room, they were indeed thinking of a good prank to pull. They hadn't done any for a while and it was time to get the castle in high spirits. By the time they got to the portrait hole, they had got a plan all sorted. They were doing this mainly to cheer Remus up as he seemed extremely agitated, something that was not a good sign this close to the full moon.

Walking through the portrait hole they saw their best friend sitting and reading a book. He looked extremely pale and slightly sickly looking. Worry was etched onto all their faces immediately and they went to sit next to him on the sofa.

''Want to help us with a prank Rem?'' Sirius said looking over Remus' shoulder at the muggle novel he was reading. He had to admit that some of them were quite good, but then he would never say that to Remus. He saw his friend shake his head and Sirius understood. He just wanted to be alone for the moment. They would tell him their news later. Looking round he saw Lizzie, Lily, Beth and Zoe in a corner laughing their heads off at something.

''We should tell Lizzie you know.'' He said to James. James nodded and made his way over to the girls.

''Hello Evans.'' He said winking at the red headed girl. He saw Lizzie laugh at her friends' expression which was trying to be friendly. ''I was wondering if I could borrow Lizzie for the time being. It's important.'' He said not waiting for an answer, grabbing Lizzie's arm and dragging her away from her friends.

''What do you want James?'' Lizzie asked as she rolled her eyes at him. It must have been important though as James wouldn't have literally dragged her away.

''Got to show you something. Come on.'' He said leading her up to the boy's dormitory where Sirius and Peter had already gone up. ''We've managed to do it.'' He said trying to keep the excitement in his voice to a bare minimum. He knew Lizzie would be able to guess what he was on about from not much detail. After all he couldn't say much just in case someone was listening to them. Opening the dormitory door they stepped inside.

The boy's dormitory was similar to the girls' one; having the same four poster beds, the same scarlet curtains and the same layout. However, there was one big change from each dormitory. This one was a mess. There were stray clothes lying around the floor everywhere, empty sweet packets littered the bedside tables and the beds were extremely untidy. The tidiest area of the room, she guessed was her brothers. How he could live with three messy animals like Sirius, James and Peter she would never know.

''Go on then, show me.'' She said sitting down on the edge of James' bed which seemed the 'tidiest' out of the three boys'. She saw them all grin at her and Lizzie couldn't help but smile back. She had been waiting for them to finish ever since she had known that they were trying to become Animagi. She kept her gaze on Sirius longer than the others, watching him almost intently for a reason she could not understand. She saw him give her a sweet smile before he disappeared and was replaced by a rather large shaggy black dog. Peter was the next to transform and turned into a small grey rat. Last it was James' turn and he turned into a large stag that filled up most of the room.

''Wow.'' She said looking at the three animals in front of her. They had done a great job and the animals suited them. She saw Sirius come over to her, tongue lolling out in front of him. She smiled at scratched him behind his ears. James and Peter turned back into humans, but Sirius who was enjoying the attention from Lizzie stayed as a dog. ''You need nicknames.'' Lizzie said after a moment or two. By now Sirius had jumped up onto James' bed and had rested his head on Lizzie's lap. ''Just because I find you quite adorable as a dog doesn't not change anything okay?'' She said to him.

James laughed at Sirius who seemed to be in his element. Nicknames...yes they would defiantly need something. ''Well Peter could be...Wormtail because his tail looks like a worm...''

''Very original.'' Lizzie said laughing. James saw that she was rather enjoying having 'Sirius' on her lap too.

''You could be Prongs James, like your antlers.'' Lizzie said grinning. ''And Sirius here...hmm I don't know...'' She looked up and down the big black dog that was enjoying itself far too much for her liking.

''Padfoot.'' James said after several minutes. ''Because his feet are padded.'' Sirius barked in agreement at the name and they all fell about laughing. ''Well that's sorted then. Prongs, Padfoot and Wormtail.'' James grinned at his friends. ''Thank you for your help Lizzie, now I must ask you to get out as we are planning a prank and we want it to be a secret.'' He said.

''You can be so rude sometimes James Potter. A simple please would have done nicely. Now get off you great lump.'' Lizzie said trying to push Sirius off of her. ''I mean it Sirius. Off!'' She said and the dog sulkily jumped off the bed, turning back into Sirius. ''Right see you later you three, tell me when you're going to tell Remus. Just so I can calm him down.'' She said grinning at them before returning back to the common room.

As she left, James turned to Peter and Sirius. ''Well we can safely say that Sirius was not the only person who enjoyed that little closeness between the two of them.'' He saw Sirius' face light up considerably. Could it be that Lizzie was starting to see past Sirius' arrogant and cocky self? No that was impossible...yet she had seemed to become friendlier to him, but James would keep that to himself.

Xoxox

The prank had been scheduled for dinner time and the Marauders (they had come up with a name for them all) had gotten everything ready. Being the 'professional' pranksters that they were, they didn't even let a grin leak out every time they thought about the prank. James kept looking at his watch counting down the minutes until the joke would be in full swing.

The babble in the Great Hall was as normal as it always was until a shriek came from the Ravenclaw table. Then another and another. People were jumping back in shock as their food seemed to have grown face and where staring up at them with different expressions. Then suddenly they all started to sing different tunes; some were quite rude and only the people who knew the boys well knew it was to the people they didn't like much. So that meant the whole Slytherin table had rather horrible songs being said to them.

It did thankfully cheer Remus up which had been their main goal in the first place. Lily and Lizzie had love ballads being sung to them and they both looked over to James and Sirius who had 'innocent' looks on their faces. The two girls rolled their eyes at the boys and ignored the singing food. Finally it seemed every song had finished, apart from one:

Your hair is so greasy,

Your nose is so long,

Every body part could reach it including your tongue.

I just want to say,

Without further dismay

That Snivillus oh Snivillus; when Padfoot's around,

He will get his way!

A round of applause rippled through the Great Hall followed with a lot of laughing; even Lizzie and Lily were clapping along with everyone else. Over all it had been a pretty good dinner time.

Xoxox

As most people drifted off to their common rooms, Lizzie waited until Sirius had finished. When he had she walked beside him in silence before she had an idea of what she was going to say. ''That song that you did in there for Severus...what did you mean by it. The end bit I mean?'' She asked him.

''Well you'll just have to wait and see wont you.'' He said smiling a cheesy grin at her. It dropped however when he saw Lizzie wasn't amused. ''Look I'm not going to do anything too bad okay.'' He said, but this seemed to frustrate her further.

''What has he ever done to you? Really Sirius, I know it's hard to like everyone, but why are you extra horrible to him?'' She asked stopping in the middle of the corridor, grabbing Sirius' arm and making him stop too.

''Because Lizzie, he's not a very nice person. You think he's nice and all that, but once you look inside he's just the same as every Slytherin. He doesn't love you; I don't care what he says. He has a more evil motive I can tell. If you love someone you don't just ignore them, you speak to them as much as possible. You don't just stand back when the person you love is in trouble, you help them out. You don't check out other girls when you think the other person isn't looking. Seriously Lizzie what the hell do you see in him?'' Sirius asked her.

At that moment Severus walked by with his group of Slytherins not noticing that Lizzie was there, but staring up ahead. Following his gaze she saw he was staring at...Lily. It was the same look he had been looking at herself with about a month ago. ''Sometimes I have no bloody idea...'' She said through gritted teeth before storming off and not waiting for Sirius.

Merlin he would so hurt that Slytherin next time he saw him, Sirius thought as he made after her.

So excited about next chapter eeee. May start writing it now. Blue Luver5000, see Sirius didn't hex Severus like I was planning him to do. So for your sake I was somewhat nice to Sev :) Next chapter I may not be so forgiving though; you'll see why thought ehe. Review please :)
