Lily was walking out of the portrait that lead to her room. The halls were full of gossiping students all looking at her. They might have been looking at her because her skirt was ridding up or her hair was untied. No but she knew better. They were looking at her because she was the latest love interest of Sirius Black. She was smirking on her way to breakfast. The plan was working so far. James didn't talk to Sirius after he whispered in her ear in the common room. Alice had come to talk to her after their little flirt session. Lily didn't tell her a thing. It was payback for her not telling her about Frank until their fourth month of dating. Lily was at the door to the Great Hall, she took a deep breath and walked in.

"Lilykins! I've been waiting for you!" shouted Sirius Black from across the Hall.

Lily walked over to the shaggy haired boy that was her pretend boyfriend. His plate was full of typical teenage boy food that made her want to gag. James didn't look up at her when she sat across him and next to Sirius. In fact James wasn't even eating. He was poking his food around and shifting in his seat.

"Lils, how was your sleep?"

"My sleep was well, thank you! How was yours Sirius?"

"Bloody good!"

Lily sighed at his language. Sirius laughed at her and grabbed a plate before dishing up all the healthy food on his side of the table. He put it in front of Lily.

"Be a good girlfriend and eat!"

At the world girlfriend James dropped his pumpkin juice all over himself and he choked on nothing but his own air.

"Prongs are you okay?"

"I'm fine Wormtail!"

"Well Jamsie you have turned purple." Said Sirius.

"I have to go, um, go water my cat!" James said while getting up from his seat.

"But Progsie you don't have a cat!"

But Lily knew that James didn't hear Peter's comment because he was long gone.

"Well this is an interesting turn of events." Said Remus Lupin as he sat down where James had been a minute before. Lily just watched the door that James had fled out of. She had a twinge of guilt but Sirius' voice knocked her out of it.

"You don't know the story Moony so don't judge us."

Moony cautiously raised an eyebrow and raised his fork to his mouth.

"I promise I won't."

And with that the conversation was over and everyone ate in silence. Lily was aware of the stares that she was receiving from sitting with the boys. She could hear a couple of whispers but not a lot. A lot of people knew that Remus and Lily were good friends. But they couldn't doubt the reason for her sitting with the Marauders when Sirius casually put his arm around her. As soon as his arm was fully around her shoulders the Great Hall burst into whispers.

Lily sighed as she continued to eat her oatmeal. This was going to be a very interesting day.
