They should really learn to knock before entering the Room of Requirement.

But to be fair...they didn't think any one else knew about it. But honestly, the only other person who, to their knowledge, even knew of the Room's existence was Jenny McGonagall, girlfriend of Sirius Black. Should they really have been that surprised?

"Ah! Do you mind, cousin?" Andromeda Black snapped as her hand covered her face and the boys laughed.

"We were just kissing, 'Dromeda. Relax." Sirius laughed, sitting back on the love seat beside Jenny, who hadn't stopped either the blushing or the chuckling. Her boyfriend then turned to her, lips pursed. "You told her?"

"Ted, actually. He let it slip how much he hated only being able to flirt and steal a few kisses during Herbology a few days ago. I said I knew a wall beside a tapestry that when you stride across it three times, thinking about what I have taken to calling the Couples Room...it'll be there." Sirius mused for a moment.

"I'm impressed. You should have been a Hufflepuff."

"I think Mum threatened the Hat, though." Jenny replied. The two couples fell about laughing. Andromeda sighed.

"Well, it's nice to have this secret place." She said with an adoring look at Ted, who grinned back at her. "We needed someplace just to ourselves, but I'm glad you two have been able to use it, as well."

"Yeah...if we were TOO public with this, no one would ever leave us alone." Jenny noted.

"It'd be worth it, though, seeing the look on the guys' faces..."

"Babe...we've talked about this."

"I know...but still."

"No." The couples spent many a happy hour over the semester, having talks and snogs, sometimes with both couples, sometimes alone. Depending on the situation. Sirius and Jennifer maintained their privacy, but every Marauder and friend of the Marauders knew it was happening.

Andromeda and Ted, however, had to be extra cautious and alert. One slip up could mean serious trouble for the both of them, but somehow, they made it work. Ted even brought a ring with him when they showed up for Seventh year, and proposed by simply slipping the ring on during a kiss that took Andromeda's breath away. They had talked about marriage, and both wanted it, despite knowing what that could bring about as a result.

That's just what we do for love, sometimes...

THIS KICKS OFF GOBLET OF FIRE! Yeah! I know it's not what I told you, KR, but I hope you like it anyway...
