*Lucys POV*

    Now that Sirius had told me his birthday during a letter, I of course told the rest of the Marauders. That's what we decided to call ourselves now, but we had a bit of trouble now that we needed to see what we could do to help Remus.
Nov 3rd soon came round the corner and I sneaked in the boys dorm with a cake and silently woke Remus, Peter, and James up.

"On the count of three," I whispered, "1, 2, 3!" "Happy Birthday!!" We all shouted. Sirius jolted up, but then relaxed when he say that it was only us.

"Happy birthday to me." He said sleepily. "Come on, I did not get up at 1 am to bake am cake for you to not open your presents, come on." We basically dragged him down the stairs and gave him our presents.

  I had given him some dungbombs and a bracelet with a lion on it. "Thanks," he told us afterwards.

      At breakfast he looked up, as if waiting for something. I guessed that he still hadn't given up on his parents. At least not yet. Since my family was a pureblood family, we have had encounters, and even though we were in Gryffindor, they seemed to like my family. My parents would usually go alone, but you could tell that my dad hated it. He made that face that said, help me, but we couldn't do anything.

    I squeezed his shoulders in an reassuring way. An owl made its way but it wasn't his familys' owl. Wait, there was two. I recognized one as my family owl and it had a package and a letter.

   "Hey," said James, "That's my family owl." He didn't look surprised, but his tone was. I think that he had totally told his parents to send something to Sirius, after all, his parents weren't going to come through.   

  "And that's my owl." I said with satisfaction. Sirius smiled and opened his presents. "At least read the letters," pointed out Remus.

  I however was waiting, waiting for my revenge. I took a sip of my water goblet and looked at Sirius. He was right next to me, smiling. I felt kinda guilty but, hey, revenge is revenge. Although I technically already took revenge, this was more perfect. Hey! Don't judge me, I still have some white stops, and my hair was still a bit blue. See?!

  Sirius took a sip of his cup and I backed away, slowly. It was starting to change, it was changing peach. "Well, have a nice day you guys." I said running out of he great hall. James and Remus laughed. Peter however pointed it out.

  Even though I was outside of the great hall, you could hear a yell that said, "LUCY ROSS!!!" That however, only made me run faster, laughing like a lunatic. Since it was Friday, I had told my teachers that I was probably not going to make it to class. The whole day. Come on, I knew better than to sit right next to Sirius. 

"You ruined my beautiful hair!" said Sirius from somewhere, probably from behind me. I rushed through some first years, one time even three fourth years. Bet that must confuse you, but back to me.

I kept on laughing, "You're never going to catch me Sirius Black!" "Oh yeah you wanna bet?" I looked behind me and saw him with peach hair, I of course had the antidote on me.

"Catch me and you'll get the antidote!" This however made him run quicker an he soon catches up to me. We were both laughing and he had hugged me around my waist, as if to hold me back. It was actually a pretty good idea.

"Fine, fine I surrender!" I said smiling, "Finally!" I turned around and gave him the potion, and he drank it greedily. His hair started to turn his normal color. I was looking at his eyes, how they looked like grey clouds in a storm. I realized that he was staring too. I quickly broke it as if to not create any tension.

   A few weeks later, it was my birthday. Or actually the night before my birthday. I was thinking about— never mind. I was thinking about a book I was reading earlier, I had it on the table actually, when I found my eyes drooping, then they finally closed.....forever. Jk I was just really tired.

   "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" said, well yelled, a group of voices, a group that I knew to be, James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. I jolted up and smiled, "About time!" I said jokingly and bolted right out of the b—sofa.

  The day passed pretty quickly and of course there were pranks. Come on, Sirius would of course get revenge on me. I just hoped it wasn't noticeable. I drank my goblet and turned to Remus, "Did it change?" I asked, "Did what change?" Remus said.

    Now, Remus is a horrible fucking liar, so of course he was smiling like an idiot, James looked close to bursting out of laughter, Sirius was no where to be found, and Peter choked on his drink.

     "Peter," I said calmly with my eyes closed, I didn't want to see my hair, "What is the color?" "Blue." He said quietly. "What shade?" "I don't know." "Sea blue." "That—" I stopped myself, I wouldn't say it in the great hall, for there were teachers.

     "I'll be right back," I said. James had his head in his hands and I ran out. "SIRIUS ORION BLACK!!!" I yelled. I'm pretty sure that you could hear my yell from the great hall, since I heard a bit of what sounded like laughter.

      Eventually, I decided that I needed help. "Lucy?" I said, in hope for the elf to appear. "Hello!" said the elf happily, "I like what you did with your hair master." "Thank you, but can you help me?" "Help you do what?" "Find Sirius." After what seemed an eternity, I told Lucy that I would try to get his wand, and if she could help me run the direction it came from.

     "Accio Sirius Blacks' wand!" I yelled, and it came to me. After a very long run with Lucy in my back, we found him. I held up his wand. "You're not getting this until you give me an antidote." "Lucy!" "Please don't kill him." "I hope he's still alive."
"That's the problem," Sirius said, "You don't have an antidote." I finished. He smiled sheepishly. I glared at him, "Same as last year?" "Until the end of time." I threw him his wand and James came flying in, Remus behind him, not giving a care. "Thank goodness he's still alive."
