Marauder Era: Set in their seventh year, James and Lily are finally together, but not everyone is overjoyed with the pairing…
I've pulled this old chestnut out of the vault and decided it needed to some work. It's been edited and had some additions made. Hopefully I will have the newer stuff I am working on out soon. Thanks to everyone who has been reviewing! I really appreciate the advice.
This is just a hypothesis. An idea as to how things might have been. It's only a 4 chapter fanfic and it is my first so bear with me. I would love comments!
(Author notes will be in italics)
In the previous chapter: Sirius and Lily had a heart to heart about James, and have decided Sirius needs to have a talk with James himself.
Chapter Four: All's well that ends well.
Lily Evans and Remus Lupin stood in the great hall with Sirius Black. Sirius was looking slightly nervous, something rarely seen.
"Is the great Sirius Black nervous?" Remus teased.
"Shut up Moony" Sirius replied "Are we sure now is the perfect time?" He asked directing his question mainly at Lily.
"Yes Sirius, he is sitting under the beech tree on his own. This is the perfect time to talk to him. Now, go on" Lily gave Sirius a little push towards the huge oak doors. Sirius slowly made his way over, when he reached the doors he looked over and Remus and Lily for a last time. Remus gave him a curt nod and Sirius returned it with his own then went out the doors.
Lily put a hand on Remus' shoulder and gave him a mock look of despair. "Our little boy is growing up Remus"
Remus laughed and smiled "Indeed" he said "Come on, if you want to see this I know just the window" Lily nodded and Remus lead her upstairs to a window that looked out over the grounds and gave them a perfect view of the tree.
By the time they had reached the window Sirius had reached the tree. He was sitting down next to James conversing and seemed to have lost his nervousness.
"Remus" Lily said causing Remus to tear his gaze away from the two under the tree.
"Did you ever think James would forget Sirius? Did you think we would eventually whisk away into our own little world and never see him again?" Lily asked watched Remus intensely.
Remus looked out again at the two people who had been his closest friends for seven years. He then smiled and looked at Lily "No of course not. Nothing could break a friendship as strong as theirs, James would have realised soon enough that Sirius was unhappy. Sirius would have just been fretting for another few weeks or so" Remus concluded breaking out into a grin.
Remus and Lily watched the two a little while longer and when James placed a hand on Sirius' shoulder and they both smiled, the pair watching through the window turned away.
I think we've seen all we need to" Remus said. "Lets give them the rest of the afternoon together eh?"
Lily smiled and nodded in agreement
"Come on Remus, I reckon I may finally be able to beat you at Wizards chess" she said, that mischievous look that Sirius had seen returning to her eyes.
Remus smirked "You think so? We'll see about that" linking arms with Lily, the two friends made their way to the Gryffindor common room.
The end! That is where we will leave this little chronicle. Sorry it was so short, but I didn't think there was much else to say, and no one likes a story that's dragged out longer than it should be. I hope you all enjoyed it.
What did you think? Loved it? Hated it? Any major grammatical faults you've picked up on? I would love your opinion. The only way I will improve as a writer is if I receive some constructive criticism.
Cheers for reading!
