"Sirius..." She bit her lower lip. Maybe it was from being upset earlier. Her mind wasn't thinking straight? Lily looked at him. "Kiss me..."

She nodded. "No that's fine. I get it. Sometimes you don't really know how to express it to someone."

She has always found Sirius slightly attractive. But never really told anyone. Hell not even James or him.

"Even if you want company whenever they happen again. I'm always here."

up late reading anyway." Lily offered and nudged him softly.

Lily blushed a bit and adjusted her spot on the couch.

"I think Remus would make a good professor." She looked at Sirius and listened as he spoke.

" I don't think I've ever had nightmares that bad before."

Lily admitted. Looking over at him. "If you ever want a distraction from them I'm usually+

Make its presence known. Then everything changed. Didn't help that she hated Severus too."

Lily added and leaned over kissing his cheek gently.

" What's keeping you up?" She asked as a change of subject. But also she had been so focused on the damn letter. He must have a reason for these hours.

A soft laugh did escape the red heads lips and she looked at him.

"Good gosh Remus wouldn't of stranded a chance at passing with you two."

Lily sighed and nodded a little though listening as she spoke.

" Petunia and I got along great you know... until I was 10? And my magic started to +

One surprise after another. Lily looked at him with a slight nod.

"Wow...."

She blinked a few times. Slightly stunned. Lily smiled though. "Fair enough. Though before you'd choose pranks and trouble before."

She has to do everything to not giggle at the compliment and she cleared her throat.

"Not causing trouble today? Must be a record."

Placing hands on her hips Lily gave him a look.

"Course I have been. Late night snack runs are a ritual at this point."

She said rather proudly and tilted her head.

"What's in that mind of yours Black?"

"And that's one reason why your my favorite."

A giggle left Lily's lips

" I've got more then you guys think Black." She winked at him as they left the tapestry. Though proud of herself for pulling this prank off. Malfoy did deserve it after the other day.

" Now what?" Lily asked looking at him. Sirius always brought out a curious and more adventurous side of her.

"Usually a few hours or until someone releases the hex." She looked up at him over her shoulder and grinned. "Funny he blamed you right away." She giggled.

Her cheeks flushed as he spoke and Lily looked over at him.
"Did you just give me a compliment?" She nudged him gently slight tease. "Thank you."

A sigh left her lips. "Guess I haven't ever had to remove someone from my life like that."

A giggle left her lips as she ran with him before they hid behind the tapestry. Malfoy came running out of study hall and a muffled yelling could be heard.

"Black I swear I'll find you!" But more muffled cause of the horned tongue. Lily peaked a bit from the curtain to see where he was going.

Lily shook her head. Playing all possible scenarios in her head as he spoke each one ending in a fight between her and Petunia.

"You'd hate him too if you ever get the chance to meet Vernon."

A sigh left her lips. "Guess we're both the outcasts of our families huh?"
