The Marauders

"Hey! Are you still scared of that werewolf?", Sirius asked uncertainly. He didn't know what to do, so he sat down on the arm of Lilys chair and sort of stoked her back. To his amazement, she started sobing.

Snape turned from the Potions Teacher's office, and he headed back to his dormitory smiling indignantly.

"I'm fine, Sirius," said Lily.

James yawned loudly. He looked over to Sirius, but Sirius wasn't there. "Padfoot?" He stood, stretching. James slowly made his way down to the common room, where he found Lily sobbing and Sirius trying to comfort her.

He sat next to Lily. "Listen...." He knew she was still freaked out. How could they make her calm? He looked at Sirius. Would they have to tell her to settle her thoughts? Or would it make it worse?

Lily got up and she started to climb the girls staircase five at a time. She hurried into her room and collapsed on her bed. Rolling over she brought out a parchment and began to write a conclusion to her vampire essay. It was due tomorrow anyways.

James turned to Sirius. 'Paddy, do you think we should tell her/"

Remus woke up and came over to Padfoots and James "What is the most horrible thing she could do if she finds out?" asked Remus.

(Padfoot and Prongs are in the common room...)

Lily screwed the top of her ink bottle on. And looked at her competed work with a dim smile.

(I know I came up to the common room)

Prongs sighed and made his way up the girl's stairs. But the collapsed, turning into a slide. He hit his head going down, swearing. "What the-?"

Lily heard a crash and went to investigate. "What are you doing here, James? You know you can't get up here. It's in Hogwarts, A History." Lily slid gingerly down next to him.

James snorted, rubbing his head. "I don't read rubbish like that..."

"Anyway, I need to talk to you," He said, motioning that they should go outside the common room.

"It's isn't rubbish," sighed Lily. "It's-" That moment she was tugged along into the common room. Not topping for a single breath he pulled her out of the portrait hole.

"Lovebirds," sighed the portrait. Lily snorted until they were safely in a niche nearby. But they couldn't be heard.

James winked at the portrait. "Listen, the werewolf....don't freak out..."

James told her everything. At the end, he added. "Don't-tell-anyone."

"I promise. But it sounds far-fetched. Are you going to try and impress me again, James?" asked Lily. There was merriment in her eyes.

James smirked at Lily. "Oh, it's ok...Who want's a hug? Eh?" He reached for her, but just as he went to embrace her, lily moved. "Oh...I'm not jestin'..."

"Silly! Hug you? Are you joking?" asked Lily as she dodged away from him.

James pouted. "Alright, then how about a date?"

"James," said Lily. She watched him rumple his hair once more and began laughing. "Your funny!"
