"What is that Moony" Sirius said pointing to the extra letter that I'd gotten other than the regular letter with the ticket that all of us had got.

"Let's find out," she said and ripped open the letter, and scanned through it. My eye caught the word, "prefect" she said out loud.

"Way to go Moons."

"Of course you are," said the boys laughing around me.

"I forgot that we get to be prefects this year. But wait, this means one of us got the letter too right, cuz there's one boy and one girl"

"Ya. I wonder who dumbledore thinks is the least worse of us"

"Bet it's Pete"

"No," said Remus reading the rest of the letter.

"Why do you think I cant be a prefect," said Peter , cross

"No. Lily Evans is the other prefect" She couldn't believe it.

"What but how"

"I don't know, look for yourself," she said and the three boys hunched over the letter in her hand.

"Well, the majority of Hogwarts thinks you are a bloke Moony so it doesn't matter," Peter said and it was true. She still had a boy cut and wore the boys' uniform and hung out with the boys most of the time. Many pupils didn't even know that one of the marauders is a witch.

"But, there has never been two girl prefects before"

"Not that we know of at least"

"Well congrats boys we need to party, we just broke the system" Remus shouted.

"I can't believe this"

"You have no idea how insulting it is to the three actual boys in the house, I mean are we that bad that they decided breaking a centuries-old custom would be better," said James jokingly.

"Come on mate, the whole school thinks Moony is a boy including half of the professors, they probably won't even notice. Right Moony"

"Yeah. it's great"

By the end of the fifth year, the sexual tension was so much you could cut it with a knife.

"Just snog and get it over with already," said James looking at them sprawled in Sirius's bed.

For a moment, Remus thought that Sirius was going to take his advice, but instead, he said" I don't know what you're talking about" and stalked out of the room.

Remus was done with this. She couldn't bear this anymore. She was done waiting for Sirius to get his shit together and make a move. At first, she worried that he may not reciprocate her feelings but now, anybody close to them could tell that both of them were into each other.

It was time she took matters into her own hands. If he doesn't want to go out with her then she'll deal with it.

The opportunity presented itself a week later when a Hogsmeade trip was announced. She decided to take a leaf out of James Potter's book and ask him out, now this was not probably the best place to get advice but she was in a bit of a time crunch. This would be the last one before their OWL's though so she had to ask him now.

"You wanna go with me to Hogsmeade this weekend," she asked him out of the blue at dinner that night

"Sure I mean if you're not holed up studying for your precious OWLs, the rest of us are definitely going" he replied casually. God, she would kill him for his stupidity if she wasn't in love with him. "No, I mean just the two of us."
