"Where's James?"
The words tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop them. The three marauders visibly stiffened.
"He'll be back by the weekend." Remus said, not answering her question.
"Well, while it has been simply spiffing to see you, I really think we should get some sleep!" Sirius exclaimed in an unusually cheery voice.
With a pointed look at Remus and Peter he shouldered his bag and ran to their dormitory. Remus dropped her an apologetic look before following his two best friends.
Lily frowned, Sirius never missed a chance to tease her about James and she had noticed almost immediately that his heart wasn't in his usual pick up lines. There was definitely something strange going on with them.
Lily Evans walked into the dim corridor after a gruelling Herbology lesson. It had been two days since she had spoken to the marauders and even though she would never admit it, she was starting to miss the pranks they routinely used to pull. She wondered if they were laying low until they pulled their next prank.
"Miss Evans! Watch where you're going!"
She was broken from her thoughts as Madam Pince expeertly dodged her with a pile of books floating in front of her.
"I'm sorry Madam Pince! I wasn't paying much attention!"
"So I can see." The lady in front of her said with a huff as they both stepped into the library.
