The Kiss
A/N: Well the first part went well. We at least thought it was funny. That in itself is probably a good reason why I shouldn't be left in a room with a pot of coffee, my cousin and several friends DVDs.
Disclaimer: None of this belongs to us. Most of it belongs to JK but the friends producers should also get some credit.
Scene Two: Marauders sixth year. In a random corridor somewhere. The four plus Snape have just come out of Dumbledore's office having been interrogated about Sirius's actions in sending Snape to the shrieking shack.
"What a shame you weren't expelled Black!" muttered Snape from where he was trailing behind the group.
"What a shame you survived Snivillus!" growled Sirius without turning around.
"Sirius," said Remus pleadingly.
"Yes Black," smirked Snape, "How would you feel if your pet werewolf had become a murderer."
Sirius took a step towards him, his eyes blazing with anger, looking ready to rip Snape limb from limb.
Snape took a step back, but still smirking continued, "Second murder attempt in one night Black tut tut. Got anything else big and hairy to try and eat me?"
James could see Sirius visibly shaking with the effort of not transforming and shredding Snape himself. He put a restraining hand on Sirius's shoulder.
"What a fine group we have," persisted Snape, his sneer unfaltering, "A werewolf, a cling-on, an arrogant git and his sidekick who can't get the girl."
By now they were all shaking with rage.
"You know," said Snape, his voice thoughtful now, "I could let the whole school know about this, make out that someone else found out. I'm sure I can find someone in first year stupid enough to take the fall."
The group became deadly still, save for Remus, whose mouth contorted into an undeniable expression of fear.
"If you do Snivillus I'll…I'll…" began Sirius.
Snape looked nonplussed, "You'll what?"
James scowled and ran his tongue over his teeth as prone to do whilst thinking. "What do you want Snape?"
Snape's sneer became more pronounced and he rubbed his nails against his robes and admired them for a moment. "Oh, you'd never agree to what I've got in mind. so you may as well accept that the whole school is going to know about this. Evans is going to know about this."
"Piece of filth!" started Sirius.
James merely shrugged, "I come off really well from this." Then catching sight of Remus he shook his head, "but that's not the point. What do you want?"
Snape smirked again in a way eerily reminiscent of their old head boy, Lucius Malfoy. "You'll do it?"
James scowled again, he knew that Snape was trying to exact a promise from him and he hated it but none the less…
"I have just risked expulsion to keep Remus out of trouble; do you really think that there is anything you can come up with that I won't do?"
"Oh good," beamed Snape, looking genuinely happy for perhaps the first time, "because I want you to make out with someone for a whole minute."
"Who? Lily Evans?"
Snape flicked his eyes over to Sirius. It took a moment for James to click.
"Oh no. No. no, no, no."
"That's blackmail!" interjected Peter in a would be angry voice.
"You don't say Pettigrew!" said Snape snidely before turning back to James. "I thought you'd do anything to protect the werewolf?" he said in a tone of mock concern.
"You want me to make out with Sirius? For one minute?"
"Could ya?"
"Eww!" James and Sirius chorused, then turned to each other, "No offence."
The pair maintained eye contact, "Better you than him," said Sirius, gesturing to Snape.
"I don't see why it can't be Lily," grumbled James then turned to Snape, "Enjoy this Snivillus; you'll never see it again."
"I wouldn't count on it Potter. I hear once you've kissed a guy you never go back."
"And you would know would you?" hissed Sirius.
"Be careful Black, I don't want to have to take a picture as well."
Sirius bit his lip to restrain the sarcasm bubbling inside him and turned back to James. "You ready?"
James took a deep breath, as though about to dive underwater. "Ready!"
And their lips met.
It was more than a little unfortunate that at that moment a slender red head turned the corner on prefect patrol. "You've finally realised how unlikely it is that I'll ever go out with you then Potter?"
James broke contact and whirled around to meet the amused gaze of Lily Evans.
"Lily no! It's not what you think! Get off me Sirius!"
"Oh but James, honey," he said pulling James closer, then in response to the muffled snigger to his left continued, "I'm kidding Snivillus. Don't get excited."
"Sirius get the fk off me," cried James and as Sirius let go he raced after Lily.
