'You told him once and for all to get out of your life?' Asked Dorcas.

'Way to go.' Lily patted her.
'That's so mean.' Mary said.

'It's not mean. It's what I should have done a long time ago.'

'Where is he anyway, I haven't seen him from the past few hours after you broke his heart?' Alice asked.

'He doesn't have a heart.' Lily said.
'Must be making out with some random bimbo.' Marlene muttered. 'I don't think he would even care enough to acknowledge what I told him.'

'Don't judge him like that. He is a nice guy.'
'He's a player.' Marlene said. 'What is so nice about that?'

Suddenly a thud was heard as someone toppled over.

'Who is that?'
'I don't know. Probably Black.' Dorcas said.

~ [At the end of (22) Abandoned]

'I don't need your help, James. I am fine by myself.' Sirius insisted. 'So what she doesn't want me in her life? It's not a big deal. The feelings are mutual.'

'Are they really?'
'No, dumbass.' Sirius snarled.

'Sirius you need to enjoy. It's almost Halloween. You know what, let's have a little fun.'

'I am out.' Sirius said.
'I am in.' Remus said.

Sirius stepped back. 'What the hell? When did you come here?'

'A few seconds back. What am i in for anyways?'
'A little james-y fun.'

'I am out.'

↩↩ Flash Forward ↩↩

'No james-y fun anymore?' Sirius smirked.
James smirked reminiscing all the memories.

'It was a hell of a year wasn't it.' James said.
'Yeah.' Sirius said.

'Well, you look exhausted.' Lily said.

'Nah, I am fine. Have you seen Peter anywhere?' Sirius asked.

'Actually no. Not for quite some time actually. Few days, perhaps.'

'Well, fine. I should leave now before I attract unwanted attention. Meet you tomorrow, James.'

And with a final goodbye with the couple and ruffling baby Harry's hair , Sirius wore his coat and became incognito.

And he walked away without knowing that terrible things were about to happen.

Within the next day, James and Lily would no longer live, Peter would be a betrayer, Everybody including Remus would think he was the betrayer and he would have spend twelve years in Askaban.

If only he would have stayed with James. Not gone to Peter.
One mistake destroyed million lives and saved million as well.

But for that moment, nothing as such had happened.

Before leaving the duo had shared one last smirk to be remembered for a lifetime remembering the Halloween few years back.

↩↩ Halloween FlashBack ↩↩

James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were dressed in identical black suits.

'Black dressed in black. That sounds kind of lame.' Sirius muttered.

'Don't say it, then maybe?' James said.

'Back to my question James. Should I step back to dating.'

'Who? Dorcas?' James asked.
'No.' Remus said a little irritated.
'Other girls.'

'Glad you specified girls. I thought for a moment you were targetting me since I was single.' Smirked Sirius.

'So?' Remus ignored Sirius and directed the question towards James.

'When do you plan to start dating?'
'I don't know. Anytime soon.'

'Anytime soon? Like tonight for instance?' Mary asked. 'That's fast.'

'What? Why am i even talking to you? You must think that I am the bad guy in this scenario.'

'I am not taking sides. But this is too fast, don't you think?'

(Present) ~
'Too fast? It's not too fast, right Sirius?'

'Ssh. I am combing her. I don't want her to be distracted.'

'Its your fucking hair. How can it be distracted?' Remus groaned.

'Ssh. Refer to her as she, not it.' He shushed him.

'Whatever. Let's go. We are already a few minutes late.'

'Minutes and hours make a difference, Moony.' James said.

'Does the feast include bacon?' Peter asked.

'Shut up Peter.' Sirius said.

'After this stupid feast, we can I don't know break some lamps, maybe?' James asked. 'And throw them in snivellys face maybe?'

'This night is going to be uneventful as hell.'

'Not what I expected.' Remus groaned.

'Me neither. Did we...?' She asked.

'No. We just slept in our underwear next to each other.' Remus retorted sarcastically.

'That's an interesting turn of events.'
'No, of course we had sex.' Remus sighed a bit exasperated.
'Do you remember anything about last night?' She asked.

'Just bits and flashes. We were too drunk to even think properly.'
'Wait, that doesn't make sense. There wasn't supposed to be booze.'

'What the hell are supposed to explain to Dorcas?' Remus asked.
'Dorcas must never know about this. Oh god, if she knows she will kill me.'

'What are we supposed to act like we never slept together?'

'Yeah. What do you remember from last night Remus?'
'Not much. Not enough to gather why we would have booked a room in the hogs head.'

As soon as he said it, memories of the previous night started rolling around in his head.
And boy was that a crazy night.

'The night was... eventful.' Remus said.
And the alcohol once again consumed him like it had done once the previous night and he passed out in front of her.

And the previous night came back to him. Completely.

↪️↪️ Flashback ↪️↪️

'This is boring.' Remus said. To his left side James and Sirius were having an intense discussion regarding quidditch.

On his right, Marlene was sighing, clearly bored.

And then an idea struck him..
'Mckinnon, want to sneak out?'
