Don't Step On My Toes

"You're stepping on my foot…Get off it."

-Annette-

The Gryffindor Common Room was rarely full just after dinner, but today more so. There were only three people in the Common Room today, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and a struggling first year.

"So if you just make sure half of the mandrake root is—"

"No, no, no…You've got it all wrong Moony." Sirius interrupted Remus's tutoring. "It has to be three fourths of the mandrake root…" He leaned over and began to scribble things on the first years paper, ignoring Lupin's faces from behind him. After a considerable amount of time, Remus shifted his weight uncomfortably.

"Sirius, you're stepping on my toes." He said while prodding him on the shoulder.

He was scribbling some diagrams for the tutoree, and didn't even look up when he answered: "I know."

Remus inhaled to keep from screaming. "Padfoot," He said quietly.

"Hmm?"

"Get off them!"

This caused Sirius to jump up, throwing pieces of parchment in the air, and the first year to flee. "I didn't know you meant literally."

Rubbing his foot, Lupin grunted through clenched teeth, "How else could I have meant it?"

"I thought you meant I was stepping on your toes, with the first year and all," He pointed to the empty chair. "You know, a metaphor?"

"You git, you just made that up."

Sirius shrugged, grin on his face. "Yes," He paused, "But what can you do about it?"

Just as the two began to threaten each other, James walked in beside himself with sorrow. Sirius and Remus, who had now began to attack each other, quickly went about getting the 411.

"What's wrong with you?" Sirius asked, pushing Remus to the ground.

"Detention," He said wearily.

Lupin who had a 'that's-all? -There-has-got-to-be-more' look on his face pinched Sirius really hard on the arm before asking, "That's all? That isn't so bad,"

"Ow! You know Moony…" Sirius glared at him.

James sighed, sitting in a big red lounge chair. "It isn't the detention—It's how I got it."

"Well then what happened? We obviously want to know…incase you hadn't noticed." Sirius pulled Lupin's hair.

"What are you guys doing?" James watched them go to all ends trying to hurt each other.

"HE BROKE MY BLOODY FOOT!" Remus yelled in fury, very out of character.

"HE BIT ME!" Sirius screamed, throwing a textbook at Remus's head.

James, nearly in shock at the antics of his friends, sat waiting for them to stop. But that didn't seem like the best choice. "Doesn't anyone want to hear about me?" He asked jokingly, but with this Sirius messy hair, with his head attached popped right up next to him.

"Yes, so how'd you get detention?" Sirius sniffed and sat on James lap. "Tell us! Oh please!" He said, looking like a child on his grandmother's knee.

"Well," James started toying with a quill in his hand. "If you don't get off me I'll sic Moony on you." Sirius glanced at Lupin, who had taken off his shoes and was rubbing his foot.

"You wouldn't dare." Sirius twisted around to look James in the eyes.

James had an evil look plastered on his face. "Oh I would," He whispered to him. "Moony, you have really sensitive feet, don't you?" He called to him.

Remus shot Sirius an evil glare. "No, Padfoot just has feet the size of London."

"Take that back!" Sirius said, a tone of mock hurt in his voice.

"Make me," He had obviously been outrageously angered by the foot incident. "Better yet, James, what happened?"

"Oh." James smiled. "I got detention for asking Evans out."

"Again?" Sirius asked, standing up. "How could Evans give you detention?"

"She's our head girl." Remus said limping over to sit in a chair by James.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Why are you hobbling?"

"To make you feel bad." He said, dropping himself in the chair.

"It isn't working," Sirius answered, finding a seat himself. "And Evans is our head girl? Maybe I should pay more attention…"

"She isn't. I don't think…What are you talking about Moony?" James asked.

Lupin shrugged. "'Dunno, you wanted to know how she could have given him a detention. I was giving a possibility." He jabbed a finger at Sirius.

"Anyway," James began rather loudly, to stop anything Sirius might have said. "I was asking her out during transfiguration, and she said 'no',"

"You didn't ask her again? Did you?" Remus looked concerned, as if he was expecting the worse.

"Well, yes. Why?"

Sirius began to make tutting noises. "Girls don't like that, Prongs."

"Oh and you know so well, how?" James inquired, causing Sirius to blush a little.

He puffed out his chest. "I could get a date with any girl in our house, and maybe even Ravenclaw!"

"Whatever you say," Remus sighed, "Continue with the story."

James laughed as Sirius began to make faces at Remus. "So anyway, I asked her out, again, and she said 'no', again. But I could tell her friend was disappointed that she declined—"

"You mean rejected." Sirius corrected, smirk on his face.

"DECLINED, my request." James finished. "So I know she'd fancy a date with me. She's obviously said something to her friends."

"How'd you get a detention? I didn't catch that." Remus asked.

James sighed. "Well, then I asked her to help me transfigure my teapot into a Tasmanian devil, and she called McGonagall over. She told me off for harassing Lily."

Sirius was doubled over in laughter, but suddenly stopped. "Wait, why wasn't I in that class?"

There was silence and nobody said anything. Then James thought aloud.

"Yes, where were you? And Remus where were you!?"

Sirius beckoned Remus to come nearer and whispered something in his ear, causing him to be beside himself in chuckles. He had a satisfied smirk on his face and asked:

"If Lily won't go out with you, want to go to Zonko's with me on Saturday to check out the new pranks they've been advertising?" He acted like he couldn't hear the hysterical laughter from Moony.

"I guess, but what did you say to him?" He motioned towards Lupin.

Sirius shrugged. "I didn't say any—Lily." He smiled; Lily had just come from behind the portrait.

Remus sucked up his laughter and glanced at the beautiful red head. James kneeled on the armchair and looked over the backrest.

"Evans!" He waved. She seemed to be ignoring him. "Aw, c'mon. We're not on speaking terms anymore?"'

She stopped and looked him in the eyes, her own emerald orbs burning with anger. "James Potter, I will have you know that I have many pranks and charms ready for you, so I would shut it."

"Go with me to Zonko's next Hogsmeade trip." He ordered, despite Sirius betrayed look.

"YOU POMPOUS PRAT! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL: I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU! YOU GIT!"

"Now now," Sirius sat up, waving his hands in a lets make peace sort of way. "Let's not get all in a tizzy because James here is a little full of himself—"

"SIRIUS! YOU'RE JUST AS BAD!" She screamed.

His mouth fell open and his eyes glassed over. "Thank you, I now have been told by the biggest member of the PFGA that I am just as bad as James. This has really made my day, Thank you Miss Evans." He bowed down to her.

"PFGA?" She asked, gripping her textbooks close to her chest.

"Potter Fan Girl's Association." Sirius told her, still bent at the waist. "And thanks you again, Miss Evans. How can I thank you?" He stood up strait, just about the same height as Lily.

"You can stop being a git." Lily said, matter of factly.

Sirius made a false look of disappointment on his face. "I'm sorry, Lil. No can do." A smirk crept across his face.

Lily looked at Remus, the only Marauder there that had remained silent. "Remus, come here."

Reluctantly he stood up and walked over to her, ignoring the 'oooh's' from Sirius and James.

"Remus," She grabbed the collar of his robes. "I am doing this to get back at them." She looked over at Padfoot and Prongs. Pulling him closer with one hand, she placed a kiss on him, right on the lips.

James jaw dropped, Sirius was laughing so hard he had a stitch in his chest and Remus was still lip locked with Lily. After a considerably long time, they pulled apart, short of breath. Remus turned around to face his friends, biggest smile on his face.

"Good-night." Lily said, storming out of the common room.

"How was it?" Sirius asked, voice airy with laughter.

Remus eyed the shocked James. "It was great."

A/N: How was Lily and Remus's kiss? What did Sirius whisper to Remus? Where were they during that Transfiguration Class? Did he really break his foot? What will James do to Remus?! Find out in later chapters, that will be written if people actually like this! Oh and sorry is the whole Remus being so angry was a little OOC I couldn't help myself…
