"I DID IT!" Diana screamed barging into our dorm room holding up a vile with a shinny lusterous purple liquid inside. But then all of us replied with a different answer.

"Who'd you do?"
"What'd you do?"
"Why did you do 'it' and do you need to hide a body?"
"Did you finally bake the recipe I gave you?"

I looked at her, still confusing as she was panting. "Wolfsbane." She started and panted between her words. "Potion." Remus perked up. "For Remus." And then she smirked before she spoke again. "Tonight."

Remus had told all of us how he'd planned on finally shagging Dorcas tonight. He waited three months to get candles and roses and was gonna make it special for her. But the realization of tonight's full moon made me wait for the next gryffindor rager.

"Ranger I could kiss you right now." Remus said walking towards her and wrapping his arms tightly around her. Nuzzling his head into her neck and I could see the content smile on her face. Stop feeling jealous remember what you and Remus spoke about.

"Remus, I don't know what to do after today in defense against the dark arts." I said pacing in my room. He sat on my bed. "Her patronus is a fucking doe." I screamed, my face pointing towards the sealing.

"And- and yours is Wolf. But you know who else's a Wolf? Ranger! Merlin- I should be ecstatic Moony. The girl I've loved since first year practically belongs with me and I- I don't like it! Merlin Moony what's wrong with me?! I'm jealous- you make her face light up whenever you walk in the room and she calls you by your first name. And me? I'm just bloody Potter." I said slumping down next to Remus.

"You've been taking Evans on dates for 3 weeks now-" I cut him off. "It's not about bloody Evans, Remus!" I yelled at him and he slightly cringed away. "Is this about what you told me in the summer?" He asked me in a whisper and patted my shoulder.

"Yes, it bloody is Remus! Moony- she's meant for you as much as I hate it and Lily's meant for me. There's nothing I can't do- you've seen the patronus?!" I said in a frenzy of a voice. "Prongs its about your feelings, Do you still even like Evans?" He asked me.

"Yes but I feel as if I'm losing my mind." I said in a hushed voice, laying my head on his shoulder. "James, what happened to you saying you were confused? What happened to your successful 5 year plan?" Remus said jokingly. "I think I'm gonna ask Lily to be my girlfriend. You know, stick with the original goal. It's not like Diana fancies me." I said tapping his shoulder and standing up.

Remus followed my action and stood up. "It's still weird to hear you say her name and not hearing the rantings of a lunatic. And as someone who by definition is one, that holds meaning." Remus said holding the door for the two of us.

"So are you ready to party with the gryffindors tonight, Diana?" Remus said pulling away from her and messing up her hair. He can't mess up her hairs she's gorgeous no matter what- Merlin shut up. Who's gorgeous? Evans- your girlfriend. "Well as long as I'm not abandoned by all of you to go shag your girlfriends, i will enjoy it." She said. "Do not make me a godmother this early, relay that message to Marlene for me." Ranger added.

Sirius blushed mad. Last month Sirius and Marlene had gotten together after a big blow out with Regulus. Marlene did not jump from one black to another that quickly. I saw Diana with Marlene the day they broke up, she was a mess. Ranger still has mascara stains on one of her blouses and regulus walked around like a shadow of himself for the longest time. Ranger was the one to tell Regulus what happened.

He's a good foot taller then her so when he fell and broke down in her arms in the middle of the quidditch pitch, it felt so raw and breaking. She said that he's doing much better but he doesn't want to speak to Sirius just yet.

"I'm gonna go get dinner and then I will see you all at the party." Ranger said kissing Remus' cheek and then walked out. Why am I mad? Why do I feel as if my chest is on fire? Can my breathing lighten? Stop being mad- calm the fuck down James.

"Let's head down to dinner too, huh?" Peter said in a happy voice. "Yeah, Yeah. Let's go." I said and stood up. "Remus are you going to be sitting with Dorcas tonight?" Sirius asked while walking ahead of Peter and I, moving to hold remus' hand as we walked. Their hands clasped together, fingers locked together.

"50 galleons they'll get together in seventh year." I whispered to Wormtail. "Are they..." Peter asked and did a hand motion of flapping his hand weak at the wrist. "Yes, Remus and Sirius swing for many teams." I said and Peter looked confused. "Remus had a thing with Benji Fenwick in 3rd year. And are we just going to ignore the multitude of times Sirius has walked out of Sturgis Podmore's dormitory with a limp and hickeys?" I stated.

"So they like boys and girls?" Peter asked. "Yes and no. Remus likes just boys and girls. Sirius likes everyone regardless of gender." I explained, still hushed as they were in front of us. It wasn't a secret but we were betting on them in front of them so I couldn't be too loud. "In that case, 50 galleons on the end of seventh year- like graduation." Peter said and smirked.

And we shook hands, "You're on, Wormtail." I spoke with a smirk and we entered the great hall.
