James Potter lied to his parents that he was in a relationship. Who's the unlucky girl? Gwen Selwyn, his childhood friend and neighbor.
"Who's your girlfriend James?"
A long silence emitted in the dining room.
"Gwen."

GWEN SELWYN IS STRESSED OUT. Her friends are now interrogating her on why she's always going to Dumbledore's office. The damned map blowing her cover. She doesn't know what to say. The truth? She can't tell them without the permission of Dumbledore. The past few weeks she has been having 'additional classes', learning Occlumency from the headmaster himself.
"Please tell us why you've been going to Dumbledore's office." Sirius begged. "This is too suspicious."
"I just run errands for the old man." Gwen lied.
"Lies." James pointed out. This sucks for Gwen's side because he knows her too well to know whether she's lying or not.
"Don't tell me-" Sirius used a shocked tone.
"What?" Gwen anxiously asked. There's no way he could know about what's been going on in her life.
"You're having an affair with Dumbledore."
Gwen choked on her saliva, "What the fuck? No! What- that makes absolutely no sense. It's disgusting."
"I'm kidding." Sirius rolled his eyes. "I just wanted to lighten up the mood. You guys are too invested in this. Gwen's probably just doing errands like she said."
"Love, can't you just tell us the real reason?"
"I told you, I run errands for him. I don't even know what I'm doing most of the times." Complete. Utter. Lies.
"Winnie. You're a bad liar." Remus chuckled. He didn't want to force her out to tell them something she doesn't want to or can't say. However, he is intrigued and extremely curious.
A Phoenix patronus came by — obviously from Dumbledore. It basically told the Marauders to come to the Headmaster's office. Gwen didn't know what was going on. Dumbledore didn't really gave her anything — as usual. He's a mysterious old man.
"Why is he calling us to his office?" Peter asked.
"Who knows." Gwen said.
The Marauders arrived at the Griffin statue in front of Dumbledore's office. As Headboy, James was given the privilege of knowing the password for emergency times.
"Treacle Fudge." He said. Gwen — of course knew the password, but didn't want to step up and look suspicious in any sort of way.
"Ah! Good Evening students." Dumbledore greeted.
"Good evening Sir." The Marauders said in unison.
"You must be wondering why I called all five of you here."
"Yes Sir." James answered.
"As you all know. War is brewing outside. These muggle terrors are planned by whom you all know as the Dark Lord or Voldemort. He's the leader of these massacres, together with his followers."
