Chapter Four: Patrolling

"Diggory, Pierce. Come out of that broom closet at once!" Scolded Lily. "10 points from both Hufflepuff

and Ravenclaw!"

"Really Diggory, I thought you were smarter than that! Try not to get caught next time ok?" said James with a wink as Amos Diggory and Renee Pierce walked down the hall.

"James! Please refrain from telling people where to go and make out!" said Lily

"What? I was just trying to be helpful. Isn't that what the Head Boy is supposed to do? Help out there fellow students?" said James with a smile.

"Help students in a good way James. Not helping them find ways to break the rules!" Said a frowning Lily

"I'm trying here Lily, I'm not perfect!" said James

"I know, and I love you for trying so hard for me." Said Lily leaning into James for a kiss. The kiss started off slow. Lily's hands went straight for James' messy hair while James hands went to Lily's back to push her closer to him. They were really lost him the moment so they didn't hear the footsteps approaching them.

"I can't wait till we get to the kitchens, I'm hungry!" said Sirius.

"Your always hungry Padfoot." Said Remus rolling his eyes at him.

"I'm hungry too! We're almost there though!" exclaimed Peter as they walked down the long corridor to the kitchens.

"Wait a second. Do you hear that? It sounds like someone is making out over there!" said Sirius.

"Should we go over and bust them?" said Peter.

"I say yes! I could use a little action! Things have been a little boring lately." Said Sirius "Ok….lets quietly walk over to that broom closet and then just scare them or something!"

Sirius, Peter and Remus crept over to the broom closet and put their ears up to the door. "I can't hear anything now, but I could have sworn I heard something a second ago!" Said Sirius.

"Ok, on the three, open the door." Said Remus. Remus held up a number 1, then a number 2, and one three Sirius whipped open the door and shouted "Ahha!" But to everyone's surprise, there was no body inside the closet.

"WHAT? I could have sworn there were people making out in here!" exclaimed Sirius.

"I guess you were wrong Padfoot, it wouldn't be the first time." Said Remus smirking at Sirius.

"Ohh well, let's go to the kitchens, I'm starving!" said Sirius. Remus, Sirius and Peter all turned and continued walking down the corridor. As soon as their voices could not be heard anymore a rush of breath could be heard, followed by the appearing of two people.

"That was so close!" said James

"I know! Good thing you brought your invisibility cloak with you or they would have found us for sure!" said Lily.

"We better keep patrolling, we wouldn't want anyone else to find us here." Said James.

Lily and James started to once again walk down the corridor. There was an awkward silence and tension in there air that they both could feel.

"Umm-"

"So-" said both Lily and James at the same time.

"You go first." Said James.

"Umm, ok. Well I think…..I think that we should tell everyone about our relationship." Said Lily kind of shyly and looking away from James.

"What? Really? I agree with you! In fact, that is what I was going to say to you!" exclaimed James.

Lily got a big smile on her face and said, "Ok, so how do we go about doing it?"

"There are a couple of ways we could do this." Said James, "One, we could just come out and tell them. Two, we could start flirting more and then tell them in a week or so. Or three, we could just start making out in the middle of the Great Hall and let everyone think what they want!"

"James!" said Lily pretending to be scandalized.

"Number three is my personal favorite." Said James, "The more I get to kiss you the better!"

"I'm sure we'll figure it all out soon. We don't have to tell everyone today, but soon James, ok?" said Lily

"Ok! We'll find some way to tell them." Said James

They continued walk down the corridor when once again they heard a commotion.

"You possibly can not take that much food back to the common room with you!" said a scolding Remus.

"Yes I can! If you guys helped me we can bring so much food!" Lily and James could tell that was Sirius talking. Lily and James turned the corner and sure enough, there was Peter, Remus and Sirius standing in front of the painting of the bowl of fruit each carrying tons of food.

"And what are you guys doing?" said James.

"Hey Prongs! How are you doing?" said Sirius.

"Just patrolling. You know, for students out of bed. Like yourselves." Said James.

"Oh! Well how about you forget we were even here." Said Sirius

"I don't know. I think Lily and I are going to have to think it over." Said James as he motioned for Lily to come nearer to him. "So what do you think?" whispered James.

"Well, they have been pretty good this year." Said Lily "We should let them off but still take 10 house points from them."

"That sounds fair. But lets play a little joke on them first" said James "Follow my lead"

"Well guys, I'm sorry to say that Lily and I decided that you are in too much trouble for us to let you off." James looked back at Lily and motioned to her to join in.

"Yes, ummm, we have decided to give you a months worth of dentention." Said Lily trying to keep a straight face.

"WHAT?" said all three boys in unison.

"You can't do that! I have Quidditch! James, you are the captain! How could you do this to the team!" shouted Sirius!

"We will use the reserve Beater." Said James

"Jon Miller? He is awful! We will do terrible!" said Sirius.

Lily and James could hardly take it anymore, they started laughing and laughing. When finally Remus said "What do you guys find so funny?"

"We really aren't giving you detention! We just wanted to see how you would react if we punished you that much!" said James

"I'm hurt James, I really am." Said Sirius as he put on his best 'hurt' face.

"Start heading back to the common room, but don't think we are letting you totally off, we are taking 20 points from all of you." Said Lily

As the guys walked away Sirius turned back and yelled "Hey! You guys have been slacking! There were two people making out in a broom closet over there earlier!"

Lily and James looked at each other, smiled and then Lily said "Thanks for the tip Sirius, we'll keep our eye for them!"
