"Hey, love. What you doing?" Mary sat herself down on the floor, beside the coffee table where James was working on a Potions essay.

"Homework." He grumbled, resting his cheek against his palm.

"Awh, you two are so swee-" Marlene began, from her place opposite them.

"JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER! I THOUGHT YOU WERE EXTREMELY ILL? WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF BED?" Sirius barged into the common room, death glaring his friend.

"I- what?"

"Oh, James was just erm- getting some water. Right, Prongs?" Peter ran in after him, giving James a pleading look.

"Right," He fake coughed, "Right. I'm really," Another terrible fake cough, "Sick. Can you get me a drink?" More fake coughing.

Sirius observed James for a moment, eyebrows furrowed, but finally he shrugged and left the room to get him some water.

"What was that about?" Mary asked, standing up.

"Mary can I speak to you in private?"

"I mean, sure. I'm not busy." They made their way up to the boy's dorm together but before they had managed to get more than half way there, James ran back down.

"Marlene! I'm sick, I'm really, really sick, okay?" She looked very confused but giggled and nodded her head. "Thank you!"

He ran back up, catching up with his 'girlfriend' and showing her the way to the dorm.

"Okay, what's up?" She questioned, jumping down on to Sirius' bed.

"Well, I was with Regulus this morning." She instantly piped up at that and nodded for him to continue, "We were reading up in the Astronomy tower because he was upset about the whole prank thingy. I haven't spoken to him properly in over a month so I kind of....didn't want to leave and we ended up missing all of our morning classes."

She sighed and shook her head. "So now you're very sick?"

"Apparently so, yes."

"Sorry, it was the first thing that popped to mind!" Peter walked into the room, shutting the door behind him.

"It's alright, Pete."

"When are you going to tell the others? You can't keep lying to them, they're your bestfriends." Mary pointed out, leaning forward to rest her elbows on her knees.

"Tell them that I like Reggie? Mary, Sirius would kill me!" The room went quiet for a short while, as they all thought about what he could do.

"I mean, you could always just start of with telling them you like guys." Peter suggested, pulling a very large sweater over his head.
