"AGAIN WITH THE ATTACKS!? The fucking hell is this shit!?" I looked at Remus who shrugged looking at me quite scared.

"I honestly don't know, little Vixen. But I have a bad feeling about this." Remus started picking at his scars and I had to stop him.

"Moony, stop it. They're still fresh and start bleeding again. Leave your gorgeous face alone."

"Vixen-"

"No, Moony. I've watched you pick at your scars for six years and mumbling stuff that isn't true. Cut it out, okay? I've told you time and time again that your scars don't mean anything to us. They may be a reminder of your lycanthropy, so what? It makes you look cooler in my opinion." I shrugged. "And besides, now we kinda look alike considering the amount of scratches you gave me last year before Prongs had to push you away during the first full moons."

"I'm sorry about that, you know?" Remus looked down ashamed.

"It's fine, Moony. I don't mind. Besides, now I look like my best friend." I smiled and grabbed his books. "Let's go for a walk. I miss spending time with my Moony."

"Have you seen Wormtail?"

"He was gonna hang out with that Ravenclaw he's been fancying since fourth year. Last night he worked up the courage to talk to her during Study Hall." I said as we walked out of the common room and headed towards the Black Lake.

"Pads and Prongs are at quidditch right?" I nodded.

"Wood has them practicing every day pretty much. Whenever the snakes don't have the field, the boys are there practicing. I can't wait until he graduates and James becomes captain or something. Frank told me that Wood eats, breathes and sleeps quidditch."

"Do you think that Gryffindor will win this year?" Remus smirked and nudged my side.

"As if. The Snakes always win, Moony. You lions have no chance." I smirked and pushed him. "Race you to the Lake!"

"You're on!"

...

"I so won." I stated as I sat down by a tree.

"I let you win." Remus huffed and sat down next to me.

"As if." I looked to the Lake and sighed. "Pads birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I don't know what to get him."

"I know what you should get him." Remus wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and I punched his arm. "Or maybe not, then."

"And have James walk in on us? Not a chance, Moony. He still thinks we traumatized him the day he walked in on us making out." I shrugged.

"What the hell happened that day? All I know is that Prongs was yelling at me and mentioned something about a bra strap?" Remus laughed.

"He had a fit because he saw me and Pads making out and he saw my bra strap because I was wearing a tank top. That's all that happened." I rolled my eyes. "But I'm serious, Moony. What should I do for Pads birthday? He said he didn't want anything big but I still want to make it special for him."

"If you won't do what I'm suggesting, then how about a surprise party? It doesn't have to be big or anything. We could go to one of our hideouts and do it or in the common room."

"That's actually not a bad idea, Moony! Thanks." I smiled at him.

"Sure. I can talk to the girls tonight and see if they're on board with it. And you could owl your parents to send some party stuff and we'll be good to go." I nodded and hugged him.

"You're the best, Moony. I owe you."

"Anything for my Little Vixen."

...

"Hey, what did you write on number 13?"

"Umm, goblin spit and eye of newt. Why?" Remus handed me his notes.

"I wrote Anjelica and Ptolemy." I shrugged and looked at another potions book.

"Vix, you're trying to kill us. Those two combined are poisonous. Don't you remember what Slughorn said about that?" Remus said and gave me a look.

"Nope. I was too busy making sure that Padfoot didn't blow up the potion again. Sorry." I shrugged and looked at his notes. "See! You are supposed to use Ptolemy."

I threw his notes back to him and Remus laughed.

"Okay, okay. But you don't mix it with Anjelica, Vix. That's worse than the Death Potion you've been reading about. Which actually scares me and I'm scared to ask why you're reading about that."

"No reason. Pads just got me a potions book and I've been reading on the incorrect portions of Aconite." I chuckled and leaned back.

"You're still determined to do the Wolfsbane potion?" Remus shook his head laughing. "I've told you time and time again that you don't have to do this for me, little Vixen."

"And I told you time and time again that I'll do whatever I want. I'm just researching Moony, it doesn't mean that I'm going to do it. You know that I'm terrified of using Aconite."

"Vix-"

"Moony, just let me research. I promise I won't do anything without you knowing about it." I crossed my arms and looked at him. "Besides, I really don't mind. It entertains me long enough to not notice whenever Prongs and Pads leave the common room with the cloak and the map."

"I can't believe you notice that." Remus laughed.

"They always leave their feet showing. And Peeves owes me a couple of favors and that's how he pays his debt." I smirked.

"How the hell does Peeves owe you!?"

"He learned not to mess with my Dad's old potions books the hard way." I shrugged.

"You scare me sometimes, you know?"

"I know. And you love me for it."

...

"Where were you two, today? Wormy told us that you two were all over the school." Sirius said once me and Remus entered the Gryffindor common room. I chuckled and sat on his lap and kissed him. "I missed you today, you know?"

"Moony and I took a day to hang out together. Sometimes we need a day away from all this chaos." I gestured towards the floor where Peter and James were wrestling. "I'm not even gonna ask."

"Wormtail won't tell us about his lady friend and Prongs is beating the answers out of him. If you don't want to get bit, don't try and separate them yet. I finally stopped the bleeding." Sirius showed me his elbow where a mark was starting to bruise.

"My brother?"

"Yep. He punched my arm and then bit me." Sirius shrugged.

"Your chaser arm or the other one?"

"The other one. He wouldn't dare touch my chaser arm." Sirius laughed and pulled me closer to him. "You and Moony had fun today?"

"We did. We finished this month's homework and walked around for a while before we came up to get you guys so we could all go to dinner." I smiled.

"Only you two would find homework entertaining." Sirius rolled his eyes and kissed me again. "But I'm glad you two had fun. Wood had us at practice all day until I got pissed and threw a quaffle at him and Frank sent a couple of bludgers his way. Prongs even refused to catch the snitch once he caught it for like the twentieth time. I'm exhausted."

"I can imagine, my love. Wood is really determined on taking the cup from the snakes this year." I took out his hair from the ponytail and started to play with it. Sirius smiled and closed his eyes leaning closer to me.

"You do that for five more minutes and I'll fall asleep before dinner." I chuckled and kissed his head. "I love you so much, sunshine."

"I love you more, Pads. Now don't fall asleep and let's go to dinner. Prongs, Wormtail, wrap it up. You two can kill each other later. Preferably after Wormy tells me about the lucky lady he hung out with today." I smirked and managed to break off the fight with the help of Sirius and Remus. "OUCH! James, what the hell!?"

"Sorry, sis. I thought you were Pads. Can we go to dinner? I'm starving." James laughed and put an arm around me. Sirius took me from him and engulfed me in a hug.

"She's mine tonight, Prongs. Moony had her all day."

"We had quidditch practice, Sirius." James rolled his eyes.

"So!? I haven't seen her all day. I missed my sunshine." I laughed and looked at Remus who was holding a laughter.

"Padfoot, she has you on a leash and you don't even care. It hilarious." Peter smirked.

"No, she doesn't." Sirius protested.

"Yes, she does." The boys said in unison. Sirius looked at me in shock and I laughed.

"Sunshine?"

"You really don't want the answer to that, my love. Now let's go to dinner." I took his hand and we exited the common room.

"I'm whipped, aren't I?" Sirius asked.

"Yes you are, my love. And you love it." I laughed.

"That I do."
