When Loralei woke up the next morning she knew today was going to be a good day. The roses gave that away.

A dozen bright red roses were on her nightstand, with a card from Sirius.

Meet me tonight on the Astronomy Tower at eleven tonight.

-S

She smiled at the note. He was sweet, she would give him that, he was also could potentially be a good boyfriend. The only thing that made her pause was going to see if he could keep off the other girls for a month, and she was planning to make him wait until October.

When she got down to the Great Hall that morning, Lily was already down there talking to Marlene, a short girl, like Loralei but with chocolate colored hair and eyes, and freckles across the bridge of her nose. Loralei got along with the girl, they had to since they were in the same dormitory, but they rarely talked about anything besides class when they had one together.

Loralei sat down across from Lily, and took a bright green apple off a stack of apples, taking a bite. "Good morning, ladies." Loralei said happily.

"Who were the roses from this morning?" Marlene asked curiously. "Lily won't tell me."

"Sirius," she told her.

"You're his first this year?" She asked, eyes wide. "I thought you'd be the only one safe since you're a Potter!"

Loralei shook her head. "I'm not going to be his first of many this year. I'm going to be his only." She smiled, sitting up straighter.

"That she is...if she says yes." Sirius said, slipping in the seat next to Loralei. "Did you get what I sent you?"

"Yes, I did, and I'll be there." Loralei told him.

"You're only having one girl this year?" Marlene said in disbelief.

"Yeah..." Sirius said, looking at the girl if she was crazy.

"So it's official."

"He has a month to get me to agree." Loralei told me.

"I'll be right back." She said, going to the Hufflepuff table to talk to someone there.

"So, it's out to the world now." He told me. "Do I get a kiss?"

She turned towards him, and took a bite of her apple, smirking as she slowly chewed and swallowed.

He put on his sad puppy face.

"Aw, look how cute." She pressed a kiss on his cheek. "I haven't agreed yet, though."

"Oh, I know." He said. "I think you're going to tell me on the second of October."

"Smart too." She said, looking around. "Where's Remus and James?"

"They were waking up when I left." He told her.

"It's half an hour until class." Loralei said.

"They'll make it." He said offhandedly.

"You think that now, but lets see when they show up, I know Remus will, but James and Peter...eh." She replied.

"They're big boys and can take care of themselves." Sirius replied.

"Yeah, well if James wants to stay Quidditch Captain this year, he's going to have to keep his grades up." Loralei replied. "I don't want to be Captain this year."

"How do you know it will go to you?" SIrius asked.

"I'm his second in command." Loralei told him. "Did he not tell you? McGonagall made me so when James and you get in detention, there's still someone to train the team."

"Who said we were going to get in detention?" Sirius asked.

"Well, you two always do if Peter doesn't take the fall, and Remus is smart enough not to get caught."

"Are you saying I'm dumb?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

Loralei rolled her eyes, and Professor McGonagall came to hand out their timetables, Loralei also took Remus, James, and Peter's so they wouldn't have to find her before classes start."

"Divination first, yeah!" Loralei cheered.

"With the Hufflepuffs." Sirius groaned.

"Why are you guys taking Divination?" Lily asked.

"Because I'm a seer." Loralei told her, knowing she wouldn't believe it.

"Yeah, and I'm the Duchess of York." Lily replied.

"No, that's my mother." Loralei replied with a grin.

"Oh yeah, I can't say that to you..." Lily muttered.

"Yeah, you can't." Loralei replied, as she saw the other Marauders walk in. "Look, they're alive!" She points at them.

"Did you think they were dead?" Sirius asked.

"That's always a possibility." Loralei shrugged. "Good morning, boys." She smiles as they get in hearing distance.

"Not really." James said with a yawn.

She handed them their timetables.

"Look, Evans, we have Arthrimancy together." James said happily. "What do you have?" James asked Loralei.

"Divination." She told him.

"Did you give her the book yet?"

"Yeah, yesterday." Loralei told him. Out of all the people who were here, he's the only one that believed her when she said she was a seer.

"Did any come true?" James asked.

"One, I'll tell you it when I get the book back." She replied.

Lily and Sirius looked confused, while Remus and Peter were both focused on eating quickly before their first classes.

"What are you talking about?" Lily asked. "You think that's a real subject? It's guessing."

Loralei and James shared a knowing look. She had said a few Prophecies before, all of which had came true.

"You're just jealous Professor Cassandra doesn't like you and failed you in third year."

"It's ridiculous." Lily told her. "You can't tell the future from looking into a crystal ball or through dreams."

"Fine, just so you know, you're having a baby boy with black hair and your eyes." Loralei stood up and grabbed her bag, before walking away angrily. Lily just never got what her best friend is, even though all the signs were in front of her.

"What's her problem?" Lily asked.

"That's her favorite subject." James told her. "Don't insult it."

She was taken aback from being scolded by James Potter. "How could anyone-"

"Or in front of me." He said, turning to his breakfast.

She stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say or do to him for the first time since they met.

Their first day was good, no homework was given, and there was no Quidditch practice held, though James did put up a flyer for tryouts that weekend. James and Lily stopped speaking civilly and argued if they spoke at all, which drove Loralei up the wall.

"SHUT IT!" She finally yelled, not only shutting up her brother and friend, but the whole common room. She turned to everyone. "I'm talking to the redhead and my brother."

Still they stayed quiet, wanting to get the new drama on the new year, apparently Sirius Black sticking to one girl was too impossible for anyone to believe.

"I said, go back to your knitting." She said in a low voice.

Slowly the conversations started until Loralei turned to Lily and James, seething.

"I don't care about how you hate each other, in fact I couldn't care less. If you want to fight get a good reason, got it? Not just because he hit on you, or because he's fancying you. James, stop hitting on her with terrible pick up lines." She told them sternly, before looking around. "Where's Sirius?"

"No idea, he left after dropping off his bag." James said, hands dug deep in his pockets and looking at his shoes.

Loralei rolled her eyes. "Can I talk to you a minute?"

He looked up. "Sure."

She took him by the arm, and pulled him up the boy's dormitory, to their room, where Remus was reading. Surprisingly it wasn't too messy for five boys being in their room, there were mostly things from Zonko's on the floor, along with random socks that apparently didn't have a match.

Loralei, gave James a little push so he would sit on his bed.

"Remus, can we have a minute?" James asked as he sat on his bed.

"Naw, he can stay, he knows how to keep his mouth shut." Loralei said, crossing her arms. "Look, you need to learn not to take her bait."

"But-"

"No buts. She pretends she doesn't, but she does, you just need not to let your mouth get the better of you." She told him. "I saw it, you and Lily are going to have a kid, but I don't know how you guys are going to end up together."

"You see the future?" Remus asked, turning towards them. "I knew it!"

"Yeah," she replied, turning towards him.

"How does it work?" He asked.

"I see what happens, I don't know how they happen, I just know they do." She tells them. "But I can't tell people their future, even if I could, they might just sit by and not do what needs to happen for their future I saw to occur."

He paused. "That sounds complicated."

"It is," James said. "Do you believe it?"

"Yeah, I mean, it's just another kind of magic. Don't you?" Remus asked.

"Let's see, she saw you being a werewolf before we found out." James snapped his fingers and turned to his sister. "Oh, did we tell you that we succeeded with becoming Animagi?"

Loralei's jaw dropped. "Without me? I was working with you! How could you leave me out of it?"

"We couldn't find you." James told her calmly. "We can help you just like we helped Wormtail, just like with the Patronuses."

Loralei nodded. "This weekend? After tryouts?"

"Sure, you know where." He says.

"Duh, I found it." She scoffed, flicking her hair over her shoulder. "It shouldn't be too hard to do it since Peter did it...I'm better at Transfiguration than him."

"Yeah, it sounds harder than it is to be honest, mostly after all our prep for it." James said, laying back on his bed. "So what time are you meeting Sirius?"

"Eleven." Loralei told him. "Did he tell you?"

"Yeah, he wanted to make sure you liked it." Remus said. "We said if you're not back by one he has to wake you up tomorrow."

A line appeared between her eyebrows as a confused expression appeared on Loralei's face. "What?"

"You slapped me when I woke you up last week." James told her. "You hit hard."

Loralei laughed. "That is a good punishment." She agreed.

"Be sure to give him a bruise." Remus told her, turning the page in his book.

"Guys, come on, he can't do worse than he already has." Loralei told him.

"He can if you're dating him, I mean first year was bad." Remus said.

"He's grown up." Loralei said. "I'm not that bucktooth kid."

"You're right, you're beautiful." Remus said. "Not that you weren't cute before, but...you've grown up. I think he likes you for you, but I still want you both to be careful."

"Of course, do you know me Remmy?" Loralei teased.

"Yeah, but I also you jump in head first without thinking." Remus replied.

Loralei smiled. "That's a part of my fun exterior. Always ready for fun!"

Remus rolled his eyes and changed the subject. "Tell me a prophecy."

"Depends." She says, laying down on Sirius' bed which was next to James'.

"On?"

"If it comes true or not." She tells him. "Like, I have a little book of things I've seen, I'll show you it when they come true."

"Haven't some already?" James asked. "That's what you said earlier."

"Yeah, but let me tell the ones I want to tell." She replied. "They're all a part of my story after all."

"Your story?"

She nodded. "I can focus my talents on one thing. We have some very big things ahead of us."

"All of us? What happens to me?" He asked, intrigued.

She smiled and shook her head. "I can't tell you."

"Aw, come on, you have our life stories." He said.

"No, I have some visions to what ends up happening." She corrected. "I don't know how they happen, they just do."

"That's annoying." Lupin said.

"Tell me about it, she only told me about my kid because I found her when she was writing it down." James told him. "It's easy to piece things together."

"How long have you known?" Remus asked him.

"I don't know, three years?" He turned towards Loralei for her nod of approval. "She told me I'd become chaser before I ever played Quidditch, told us we'd both be in Gryffindor, and such. I didn't believe her until I became a chaser in second year."

"Wicked." Remus said. "You must really love Divination."

"Yeah, I do." Loralei said, smiling.

Loralei looked into the mirror right before she went to meet Sirius on the Astronomy tower. She was in her usual jeans and a tank top with a hoodie on since it was cool out. She had cleaned up her faded makeup so there was barely any on, and laced up her black converse high tops, before going passed Lily on her way through the common room.

"See you later." She said, not waiting for a response as she kept walking.

She made her way up the stairs humming happily until she was told to be quiet by an old woman in a painting. Sometimes those paintings were just no fun.

Sirius was waiting for her by the stairs to the top of the tower, leaning against the banister, and looking down.

"Hey Siri," she said happily.

He looked up, smiling when he saw her. "Hey, Lore."

"So what are we doing here?" She asked. "I didn't see you after dinner. You should've seen Lily and James going at it."

"Do you really think that I'm going to tell you until you see?" He asked, ignoring the comment about Lily and James.

"Show me then." Said Loralei simply.

He holds out his hand for her to take.
