Lily Potter awoke that morning with a strong hand wrapped firmly around
her waist. She turned and saw the man lying next to her. James had been out of
town for the past few days and Lily had been so scared with Voldemort on the
loose that she had begged Sirius to come over. Unfortunately, while Sirius was
staying at the Potter's house with Lily, things began to heat up between the
two. They had found themselves constantly having to fight the urge to just
steal one kiss. Lily remembered everything perfectly. Right from the moment
James kissed Lily goodbye and left for Egypt for two weeks. Everything that had
happened. Everything…
"I'll only be gone for a couple of
days. Don't worry." James said kissing Lily goodbye and then disappearing from
sight.
Lily looked out
the window and shivered. She was frightened. James would be gone for two weeks
and she would be all alone in the house. She immediately grabbed a pinch of
floo powder and called out.
"The Dog pad!" She went swirling through
colors until she saw Sirius' face pop into view.
"Hello Lily. What
brings you here?" He asked formally.
Lily snorted.
"Sirius, please don't ever try to play sweet and innocent with me. I'll never
buy it."
Sirius looked at
Lily with mock sadness.
Suddenly, Lily's face turned stern. "Sirius,
will you do me a huge favor? Will you please stay with me at James' house until
he gets back? I'm so frightened. Please?" Lily begged.
Sirius smiled.
"Sure, I'll be over at your house in about an hour. I need to get ready."
For the next hour, Lily stared out
the window in fear. She had a feeling that she would blink and the next moment,
she would find Voldemort on her front step.
She felt two strong hands grab her from behind and she screamed. "Lily!
Could you be a little louder? My ears are ringing." Sirius whined.
Lily flung her arms around him. "Thank you so much for coming. It means
a lot to me."
Sirius smiled. "No problem babe."
That night, Lily cooked them a small meal and they talked for hours. By
about midnight, they were both exhausted.
"Have a nice rest on the
couch." Lily called as she shut her bedroom door that night.
Sirius sighed. "I hate the couch," he mumbled.
The next few days were extremely
fun. Lily and Sirius would do something every day and then they would return to
the house and have dinner and chat for a few hours.
But one day was nothing like that. They both got up and headed into the
kitchen for some tea at the exact same time.
"What are you doing up so
early?" Lily asked raising her eyebrows.
"I couldn't sleep. I've been up
half the night trying to figure out a way to go to sleep," Sirius groaned.
Lily put a friendly hand on
Sirius' shoulder and smiled. That wasn't the only reason she smiled though.
They had both felt a shock when they touched. Sirius had the strongest impulse
to kiss Lily and hold her in his arms, but he knew he could never have her. She
belonged to his best friend.
"So, what are we having for dinner
tonight?" Sirius asked lazily.
"I don't know. I
don't intend on cooking," Lily said slyly.
"Fine, I'll order
us some pizza," Sirius retorted back. He waved his wand and a hot pizza fell
right into his lap.
Lily grabbed the
box and took a large piece out. She bit into it and then spit it out. 'Hot!!
Ouch it's hot!" Lily yelped.
Sirius laughed
uncontrollably. Lily sneered at him and wrestled him to the ground. She
playfully began to punch him. Sirius smiled and rolled over. Now Lily was
beneath him. He was planning on hitting her softly on the face, but what he did
was much worse. He kissed her. At first Lily had the urge not to kiss back, but
she soon realized that she didn't want the kiss to end. She parted her lips
letting Sirius have free reign over her. He kissed her neck and slowly
unbuttoned her shirt.
"Sirius, Stop! We shouldn't do this."
Lily said quietly.
"James will never know. Trust me." Sirius whispered, continuing to
unbutton the rest of her shirt. Lily pulled Sirius' tight jeans off and threw
them against the wall. They moved from the living room ground to the kitchen.
Sirius lifted Lily onto the table and kissed her gently. They could both hear
the tiny voice in the back of their heads telling them not to do it, but they
both ignored it. "Oh Sirius," she moaned.
Lily awoke in her room and rolled
over. Sirius was lying there playing with a strand of her red hair.
"Good morning." Sirius said
happily. Lily threw her pillow at him and smiled. "I'm guessing you had fun
last night." Lily said smiling.
"You have no idea." Sirius whispered into her ear.
Lily shivered. " I had fun."
Sirius smiled and pulled lily closer to him. "Want to have more fun?"
He asked seductively.
Lily kissed Sirius and whispered into his ear. "You bet."
When it was about noon. Lily and
Sirius got out of bed. "I'm making breakfast." Sirius said putting an apron on.
"Sirius, do you even know how to cook?"
"Umm, maybe you could help me a bit." Sirius pleaded.
Lily looked at him and then sighed. "Fine, but you owe me."
Sirius looked at her. "How much?" Sirius asked realizing that he had no
money.
"I don't know, but I'll know soon." Lily said in a childish way.
Sirius picked Lily up and spun
her around. "You are so sweet. You know that?"
Lily blew Sirius a kiss and put her arms around him. "Oh course I'm
sweet." Sirius just laughed.
Lily arrived late to work that
morning. She ran into her office at 1 o'clock and had to apologize to her boss
profusely. Her boss just glared at her and told her to get to work. Lily was
forced to work three hours later than she usually had, due to the fact that she
arrived three hours late. By the time she was done, it was 11 o'clock.
Lily rushed home to find Sirius
pacing back and forth. He had a look of anger and terror on his face. When he
saw Lily he jumped up and kissed her. "I was worried. I thought you got off
work at seven." Sirius said, holding Lily close to him.
"I usually do, but since I was
late to work this morning…I had to stay late. Plus my boss hates me." Sirius
laughed.
Lily and Sirius decided that they
would go out and have a little midnight snack. They apparated to the Hogs Head
pub. And smiled at the surroundings. Nobody in the pub suspected a thing. They
all knew that Lily and Sirius had been friends a long time. A waitress came up
to them and smiled.
"What can I get y'all?" She asked, her eyes twinkling.
"Well, both have a butterbeer," Sirius said looking at Lily.
"Be right back with your
drinks."
"Well, what do we have here?" A sly
voice said behind them.
"Snape," Sirius growled.
"Snape, go away. I really am in no mood to deal with your antics tonight."
Lily stated angrily.
Snape stood sneering and then turned and left.
The waitress returned and shuddered. "That guy is weird. He came in
here last week with a few of his buddies and they all got so drunk that they
were spilling all their woes and sorrows out to me."
The waitress shivered nervously and then
continued. "He used to be in love with this woman named Lily Evans, but she got
married and he became a death eater. I feel bad for the poor woman he loves, he
said that he was going to kill her husband next chance he gets."
Lily stared at Sirius with fear
and panic in her eyes. "You don't think he was serious do you?" Sirius asked,
trying to control his anger.
"Oh, I'm almost positive that
he was serious. He had that maniac glint in his eyes. I'd stay away from him if
I were you."
Lily and Sirius instantly apparated
home after hearing the shocking news from the waitress. Lily sat down on the
bed and began to weep. Sirius sat down next to her and patted her on the back.
"Lily, don't worry. Nothing's
going to happen to James. He's fine. No one has ever been able to beat him in a
duel and he's the smartest guy I know. Lily, he's going to be fine."
Lily looked up at Sirius with fear and hope in her eyes. "Are you
sure?" She asked sadly.
"I hope so, I really do hope so."
Lily and Sirius stayed up all night
talking. They both wanted to hunt Snape down and blast his legs off, but
instead, they chatted. Occasionally Lily and Sirius would look at each other
and sigh. What they were doing felt so right, and yet, it felt so very wrong.
Eventually, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Sirius woke up to the smell of
pancakes. He walked into the kitchen in his boxers to find Lily in underwear
and a short little shirt cooking breakfast. Sirius wrapped his arms around lily
and kissed her neck.
"Good morning sexy," Sirius whispered.
Lily smiled innocently. She
turned around and kissed Sirius on the mouth.
'Thanks, what did I do to deserve that?" Sirius asked smiling down at
Lily.
"For just being you." Lily said, her eyes glittering excitedly.
Suddenly a large brown owl flew through the window. Lily ripped the letter open
and began to read…
Dear Lily,
I'm sorry. Dumbledore is keeping me here for
another two weeks. Remus is here too. I miss you terribly. If you're scared,
call Sirius, he'll keep you company. If he's already there, tell him I said hi.
It's extremely tiring looking for Voldemort. He attacked a small little
wizarding family last night. The only person that survived is the mother. She
was found barely breathing stuffed in the oven. It scares me to know that
someone could be so mean and do something like that. Remus wishes you good
luck. Watch out for Snape. He was here last night and he threatened to kill me
if I didn't give you to him. I couldn't find my wand so I punched him in the
nose. Remus kicked him in the balls and Snape fell to the ground shaking. It
was a pathetic sight to see. Well, I've got to go. I love you very much.
James
Lily stared at the letter sadly. James loved
her so much and this is how she was repaying him. Sirius took the letter and
read it. He could tell that Lily was feeling guilty. If truth be told, he was
feeling pretty cruel too. It was his best friend, and he was repaying the life
long friendship by sleeping with his wife. Their eyes met and they both smiled
nervously. Lily kissed Sirius and smiled with sorrow.
"I can't believe that we're
doing this." Lily whispered.
Sirius stared into Lily's nig
innocent eyes with his deep brown ones. She looked so adorable. Sirius kissed
Lily, picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder. He gently placed her on
the couch and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm going to leave. We both
feel awful about this and you know it. Call Erin, she lives about one hour away
from here. Goodbye, it was a nice five days." Sirius said turning and leaving.
Lily stared ahead and when she saw him open the front door she panicked.
"Wait! Sirius please."
Sirius turned around and shook his head. "Lily, I can't do this and
neither can you. He's your husband, and he's been my best friend since I was
seven."
Lily let a small tear trickle
down her cheek. "Did you ever feel the need to be near someone even though it
might not be the best choice? I feel that way when I'm around you Sirius. I
really and truly do." Lily cried.
Sirius stood at the front door,
his jaw practically on the floor. He seemed to be debating the choice. He bit
his lip and closed the front door. Lily ran up to him and threw her arms around
him. "I hate you for this," Sirius said as they walked into the bedroom.
Lily sat on the kitchen room table
the next morning drinking tea. Sirius came in and smiled when he saw her. "I
though you had work?" He said pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Nope, I'm off today." Sirius
smiled and stood just staring at her. He didn't want to say it, but he was
beginning to fall in love with her. He loved everything about her. He liked the
way her hair looked horrible in the mornings. He loved the way she was so tiny
that she could pass as a fourteen year old. He loved how her eyes lit up when
she was happy. Heck, there was no other way to explain it. He was in love with
her.
Lily sat on the table trying to
decipher what he was thinking. Suddenly something seemed to hit her. She
realized that Sirius was the handsomest man she had ever seen. He had dark
brown eyes that were always warm and friendly. He had black/brown hair that was
slightly too long, but it made him look very bold and daring. He was also very
strong looking. I can't believe I just noticed that, lily said to herself. In
the ten years she had known him, she had never realized that he was so
handsome.
The next few weeks were very strange
for both lily and Sirius. On the day that James was coming home, Lily and
Sirius made a promise.
"We tell no one of what has
happened over the last few weeks." Sirius whispered, taking Lily's hand in his.
"It was fun. Too bad it didn't last." Lily said smiling.
Sirius gave Lily a smile and
disappeared right as James walked through the door. He dropped his bags and ran
over to her. He picked her up and swung her around. He kissed her lightly on
the nose and winked. His boyish qualities were so cute.
"I love you James," Lily said truthfully.
"I love you too Lily." They
talked and Lily helped James unpack his stuff into their room. When everything
was done, they both lay on the ground outside staring up at the stars.
"So, did you have fun while I was away?" James asked kissing Lily on
the cheek. "Yeah…I did." Lily said guiltily.
9 months later…
James and Sirius sat in the waiting
room waiting to ear the outcome of Lily and the boy's birth. Sirius had been
over at the Potter's when Lily's water broke and she was rushed off to the
hospital. James had no idea that the child might not have been his, but Sirius
did. He was secretly hoping that the child would be his, even though James
would probably kill Sirius if he found out. A man's head appeared and he
smiled. "It's a healthy boy." He said winking. James and Sirius rushed into the
delivery room and smiled when they saw a little baby boy wrapped in blankets.
You could tell instantly that the baby belonged to James. Lily gave Sirius a
tired smile and passed her son over to Sirius so he could hold him.
Author's Note: Ok,
kill me. If you hated it say so. If not, then thanks. It took me two days to
write this. I was on major writers block and I've been sick. I hope y'all had a
wonderful super bowl, aren't you happy the ravens won?
