Soulmates

Chapter Two

The following day was Saturday and James and Sirius were looking for the Parsay cousins. They had checked the Ravenclaw common room but were turned away by some annoyed looking Ravenclaws. The Hufflepuff common room was also no such luck. They were about to give up when they heard a commotion coming from the potions classroom. James and Sirius ran into the classroom to see Snape glaring at Lee with an annoyed Professor Slughorn looking at them.

"You cannot be serious Professor, you expect me to share the classroom with her?" Snape groaned to Professor Slughorn.

"I have told you before Mr. Snape, you are to share the classroom with Miss Parsay during after class hours. If you have a complaint you will have to take it up with her." Professor Slughorn then turned to walk out of the room to the great hall for lunch.

Snaped glared at Lee one last time before following Slughorn out of the room.

Lee looked up to the two boys left in the room. "Potter, Black, what can I do for you?" James and Sirius walked closer to the table that Lee was working at.

"Lee, I was wondering if could help me create a love potion." James asked.

Lee took her time pouring the contents of her cauldron into vials before responding back to James. "A love potion, eh, who would you like to use it on?"

"Lily Evans," James smiled, "I want to prove to her that we are destined to be together."

"A love potion won't work on Lily Evans. But I might have something else that might work for you."

"Really?" James excitedly asked.

"Why wouldn't a love potion work on Evans?" Sirius asked confusedly.

Lee gave the boys a wide grinned. "Meet me in the library tomorrow after dinner and we'll talk the finer details."

The library was quiet with only the sounds of pages turning, scratching quills, and Madam Pince shushing everybody. Remus was sitting at his usual table in the back of the library finishing his potion essay. Peter was sitting beside him working on his own essay.

Peter gave Remus a nervous glance. "Are you really not going to tell him?"

"Tell who what?" Remus asked looking up from his essay.

"Well Sirius, of course."

Remus has had a crush on Sirius since fourth year. They were sitting in the common room, Remus reading a book while Sirius had his head on Remus' lap and talking to James and Peter. Remus had looked down to the boy in his lap and couldn't help but think about how beautiful he was. Remus was confused about his feelings. He didn't understand why he felt these sort of feelings for his best friend. Remus figured out his feelings at the end of fifth year. The same time Peter found out. Peter had overheard Remus say that he loved Sirius.

Remus sighed. "Peter, you know I cannot tell Sirius. He doesn't feel the same way so everything will just get awkward and he might want to stop being friends."

"Sirius is one of your best friends! He would never want to stop being friends with you."

"Thanks Pete." Remus gave Peter a small smile, "We better get to the great hall for lunch before Padfoot and Prongs start looking for us."

James and Sirius were already sitting at their table when Peter and Remus walked up to them. Sirius put his arms around Remus when he sat beside him. 
"Did you find the Parsay twins?" Remus asked while taking a drink of his pumpkin juice.

"We have to meet her in the library tomorrow to talk about the potion." James said while taking a bite of his sandwich.

Sirius said "Lee said that a love potion wouldn't work on Evans but she has something else that would help James."

Remus gave Sirius a puzzling look. "What do you mean a love potion wouldn't work on her? They should work on everyone." 

Sirius shrugged his shoulders before going back to his meal.
