When Remus woke up in the hospital wing after two days of deep sleep, the first thing he saw was a pair of worried looking brown eyes. "Sunny? What is ... Oh yeah, I remember." His leg was still aching from the snake's attack, but he was glad it was still there! “I'm so sorry, Moony, it's all my fault!” Sunny looked at him sadly and guiltily, but he shook his head and took her cold hand. "It's okay, you can't help it. Tell me, where are the other chaos?" She smiled, relieved, and relaxed a little. Nojiko expected Remus to yell at her! She couldn't live with the fact that he hated her ... "Peter and Lily were here all night, Poppy put them in bed and as for paws and crowns, they went to breakfast and wanted to come back right away. Oh yes, and May was there a lot, I think she likes you. "A mischievous grin appeared on her face as Moony blushed and quickly looked out the window.

"Moony! Finally!" It was Sirius and James, their hands full of food, who both pounced on him and hugged him. “You gave us a real scare!” Remus was so happy to see his friends again! And they, who had spent the last two days by the Gryffindor Prefect's bed, were just as happy and relieved. They had taken turns watching over him all night and in their free time! Although the teachers and Madam Pomfrey protested, none could separate the Marauders from Remus. “Are those muffins?” Moony was really hungry and the cupcakes in James' hand looked tempting! He nodded with a grin and handed him one. They divided the rest between themselves and made themselves comfortable. Nojiko, James and Sirius stayed with Remus until Poppy kicked them out because class started. With heavy hearts they said goodbye to each other and promised to come back soon.A week had passed and Remus was released from the hospital wing. The Marauder and Lily had spent a long day at school and now went tired into the common room. Everywhere people whispered behind Moony's back and the very brave stepped forward and asked him what had happened! However, the crown or paw gave them such angry looks that they quickly withdrew to their friends and continued whispering. "I don't understand what all this excitement is about ..." Remus shook his head as Sirius put an intimidated Hufflepuff boy from first grade in his place. "Admit it, you enjoy the attention!" Nojiko grinned at him and Remus gently slapped her on the back of the head. "For your information, I'm not like your friend who loves having half the school at his feet." Sirius, who had watched the fleeing Hufflepuff turn around and crossed his arms. “You mean all of Hogwarts, Moony!” Everyone laughed and walked on to the Fat Lady.

“Copper kettle!” The portrait swung open and allowed a view of the abandoned common room. The Marauders were a little surprised when they entered, because all the Gryffindors were on the notice board. “What's going on?” The others shrugged and James sighed. "I'll go over there ..." While the boy moved towards the crowd of students, the others sat down at their favorite spot by the fireplace. There were only four seats there, so Nojiko had to sit on Sirius' lap. He had his arms wrapped around her waist from behind and his head on her shoulders. "So Evans, looks like your girlfriend is about to do the same. I don't mean to stop here!" James said with a grin when he came back.

“You are impossible, Potter!” The red-haired girl jumped up and went furiously into the dormitory. "And I thought you guys finally got closer ..." Remus shook his head regretfully as he watched Lily storming up the stairs."I had hoped that too, Moony, anyway, there is news!" Krone did not want to argue about Lily for too long, it was even very uncomfortable for him. He had hoped that she would like him after finding Nojiko, but he must have been wrong. "There's a Hogsmeade weekend, and it's already next week! To celebrate the latest happenings, oh and Moony, you don't know it yet: Each of us got 150 points for bravery, and Gryffindor is likely to be the house winner!" James settled in dropping the armchair in which his crush had previously sat and looked around with a grin.

It was Friday and the Marauders were having dinner, Lily avoided them as she had before the nightly events. "I can hardly believe that we can finally have our peace and quiet again!" James sighed in relief. The teachers no longer patrolled, there was no more supervision in the common room and the other precautionary measures had also been overridden! "Yes, now we can finally do this again!" Sirius said, gesturing with his wand that he had hidden under the table at Severus Snape, who had just entered the hall. He tripped over his feet after his shoelaces had tied and fell lengthways to the floor. Everyone looked at him and laughed, the Gryffindors especially loud. “And that!” This time it was James who bewitched a Slytherin's spaghetti so that it crept across the table like worms. “But that's not to be despised either!” This time it was Moony, who turned Narcissa's pumpkin juice, which she was drinking, into vinegar with a small movement. Sirius cousin spat it all out again and jumped up angrily! The Marauders laughed at the fearful looks of the rest of the Slytherins before they went back to their food.

“Oh how I missed that!” James smirked smugly at all the laughs that had taken her little pranks.“You are so immature Potter!” Lily walked past him, her head held high, and sat at the other end of the table. "I wonder if she'll ever go out with you ..." Sirius smiled encouragingly at his friend, while Nojiko and Remus looked down on Peter for this thoughtless remark. "He's right, guys, I'm slowly getting tired of asking you all the time just to be rejected again. I'll tell you what, I'll ask one of the other girls out on a date tomorrow morning!" James Potter didn't give up, and the two just came together like Sirius and Nojiko!

Later in the evening, Lily and Nojiko sat by the window in the common room and looked out over the grounds of the castle. “I have to tell you something, but I don't know how!” Lily was bright red and she stared blankly at the window. Her best friend nodded and waited patiently. She knew that Evans had to be patient. “How do you know if someone is the right one?” Nojiko looked at her friend, strange, she hadn't expected that! "You just know ..." There was no better answer to this question, at least one spontaneously didn't occur to her. "How did you know about Sirius? I mean, Black is a womanizer!" That made Sunny laugh, Lily had the nail hit on the head! “When I look into his eyes, I don't know, it's just a feeling!” She was still smiling and tossing her black and red hair back in one swift movement.

Lily looked at her and took a deep breath. “You remember Malia's prank, don't you?” Sun nodded and bent his legs. “That diary… it was… mine!” The prefect buried her face in her hands, her cheeks literally glowing. "You? I knew I knew this script! But why the hell, don't you go to James and tell him that!" Lily just shook her head violently. "No, he's an idiot and he doesn't like me!Why else would he act like that? "Nojiko leaned back in her seat and shook her head in disbelief. There they were, madly in love with each other and yet everyone believed the other didn't like him!" He's a guy, they have that about them! "

Lily's face reappeared between her fingers, she gave her friend a suspicious look. “You mean he likes me and doesn't dare to say something?” She sounded hopeful and suspicious at the same time. "Yes, of course! He's practically obsessed with you and has been since our first year!" Nojiko wondered how Lily couldn't have noticed! "Then I'll wait until the next time he invites me to Hogsmeade and then I'll say yes!" Nojiko's face darkened and she sighed softly. "I'm sorry to say that, but he gave up at dinner today. He's going to ask someone else tomorrow morning!" Lily nodded, visibly offended, and got up. "Well, then not. I have to go to bed now - no, you can stay here! See you tomorrow!" She went quickly to the dormitory so that no one noticed her tears!

As soon as Evans was gone, Sirius, James and a beaming Remus came through the portrait and joined her. “Why so alone, beautiful one?” Sirius put his arm around Nojiko and she snuggled up against him. James rolled his eyes played annoyed and mumbled: "Only lovers around me!" The other two boys laughed and Sunny joined in too. "Why so happy Remus?" she asked when they had calmed down again. The person addressed was humming to himself the whole time and now began to smile again, beaming with joy. “Maike is going to Hogsmeade with me, we are now officially a couple!” Nojiko nodded appreciatively, she really allowed him to do it. The two had overcome so many obstacles and they really deserved to be happy!

At that moment, more Gryffindors came into the common room, first Alice and Frank Longbottom, who ran through the doorway holding hands and then sat down by the fireplace."There two found each other too ..." stated Peter, who had come in after the two of them and was now standing with his friends. There was a red stain on the collar of his white shirt that looked suspiciously like lipstick. "Let me guess, you have someone too?" James asked, slightly annoyed. Peter nodded happily and told them about a Hufflepuff who had agreed to go with him to the small village and had also given him the spot. When he was done he went to the dormitory and left the others. “We'll all meet at the three brooms anyway, don't we?” The others nodded in response to Krones' question, that was practically a tradition. They spent the morning either alone or together, but by noon the Marauders met again and drank a couple of Butterbeers.

Sirius pulled Nojiko a little closer and then grinned. “I suppose we're going to Hogsmeade together too?” She smiled wickedly and straightened up
