A/N: Hi everyone! I'm sooooo sorry for the late update, but I was really busy these past few weeks...and lazy, lol. So, anyone get anything special for Valentines day? I just got a bunch of candy but hey, candy's still candy. There was this one guy though who got this other girl two lululemon headbands and a giant teddybear! It was sooooo sweet. But anyways, here's a Valentines day chapter for you all that is sure to crushy your heartsies because everyone has been FAR too happy today...jk jk lol. And for those of you who don't know what Valentines Day is, well, it's always on February 14 and its a day where people express their love and stuff to one another, usually involving gifts and hearts and chocolates. Well anyways, here's the story.

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Harry Potter I'd be sure to tell you, but I don't. J.K. Rowling does. But I bet you already knew that.

OTHER DISCLAIMER: Thinking Out Loud is a song by Ed Sheeran and I do not own ANYTHING from it. Here's the link because it's an AMAZINGLY SWWET song: watch?v=lp-EO5I60KA or you can just look up Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

"Okay Padfoot, get the flower petals ready. Moony, go fix something, Paddy probably made a mistake somewhere. And Wormtail? Stay where you are." James commanded.

"Wha?" Peter asked from a mouthful of cheese.

"Okay, everything's done." Remus said.

"Are you sure?" James asked inquisitively.

"Yes."

"Positive?"

"Yes!"

"Are you sure you're sure?"

"YES!"

"Are you one hundred percent you're sure?"

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF MERLIN I SAID YES!"

"Okay, okay, I just wanted to know."

Sirius snorted. "Please, as if he didn't already say it."

"Ok, now, does my hair look good?" James asked, running a hand through his hair.

"Do I even need to answer that?" Remus asked, plopping down on the Common Room couch and pulling out a book.

"No, seriously," James glared at Sirius just as he opened his mouth to make his pun, "and Padfoot, shut up and come up with something original." James said, brushing invisible dirt off his tuxedo.

"Hey! I am original!"

"Okay, so we have the booth sets, rides we can transfigure when we get there, games, a large space, the flyers are set up, Dumbledore likes the idea," Lily rambled on, checking things off her 'Carnival Plans' list as the three girls began walking back towards their dornitories.

"What about the food?" Mary asked as she walked alongside Marlene and Lily.

"Oooh! You should have those muggle corn things. What was it again? Crack corn? Boom corn? Pot Corn?" Marlene said. "Oh! Did I tell you guys? I heard Carol's going with Will. As in Will Asper. Why a guy like Will asked a slut like her is beyond me. And-OH MY GOD! HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN? Frank and Alice finally got together. And about time too. It's only a matter of time before you and Potter start shagging in the middle of the corridor as well." Marlene nudged Lily, suggestively raising her eyebrows.

Lily made a face, "MARLENE!" Lily playfully punched Marlene in the arm. "That is the most disturbing thought. And as for the popcorn- Oh! I am so sorry!" Lily exclaimed as she bumped into someone, knocking her books to the ground.

"Oh, hey Lily! Sorry, didn't see you there." Lily looked up from the ground where she picking up her books and saw a Ravenclaw boy gone by the name of Alex Jones. Alex bent down to help Lily pick up her books.

"No, it's fine, really, and thanks," Lily replied, feeling her cheeks warm up a bit. Alex was surely one of the most wanted boys in the school. Though he wasn't Sirius or James, he was still pretty good-looking: Tousled, side swept golden-blonde hair, stormy gray eyes, a tall and athletic 6'2" build, and not to mention, captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team. Alex was also one of the Maurauder's main enemies. Well, actually, one of James' many, many enemies, as not only was Alex good-looking and Captain of the Ravenclaw team, but Lily actually got along with him.

"Uh, yeah. No problem. I was actually kinda hoping to run into you. I was wondering, would you accompany me to the carnival?" Alex asked, rubbing his hand behind his neck.

Marlene stood on the side, watching the whole spectacle. Say no. Please say no. You don't know what James has planned for you. Say no. Say no. No, no, no, she thought, while making weird facial expressions at Lily.

Hmm, hot guy asks you out, what do you say? Yes. Duh.

Who, might I ask, is this 'hot' guy? Me? Because then yeah, you do say yes. Something you, might I add, have not been doing.

But I'm gonna do it this time. I have to.

Really?! You're gonna say yes?

Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?

Well, I don't know…given the past couple years-

Shut up I'm in the middle of something here.

Yes ma'am.

"Yes," Lily blurted out, "I would love to."

"Prongs? Hellooo? Prongsie?" Sirius waved a hand in front of James' slowly grinning face.

"TODAY'S THE DAY!" James suddenly jumped up excitedly, earning a round of glares from people in the Common Room.

"What?" Sirius asked, confused.

"SHE'S GONNA SAY YES!" James screamed, ignoring the glares.

"Does this have something to do with Evans?" hearing that it had something to do with Lily, Sirius had suddennly become uninterested. "Because she's just going to turn you down, mate. Again."

"No, no, no. I know she's going to say yes this time. I swear." James said. "Remus!" James pulled Remus up from his comfy spot on the couch and grabbed Sirius's wrist. "Stand up you lazy arses. We're going to rehearse this one more time. It has to be perfect.

"Ugh," Remus and Sirius groaned.

"Lily! What was that all about?" Mary exclaimed as soon as Alex left and the girls continued on their way to the Gryffindor Tower.

"I dunno," Lily looked down at her feet, her cheeks growing red. "But, like, I mean, he is kinda cute…"

"Kinda cute?! Lily! He's damn hot!" Mary exclaimed.

Marlene, who had been silent the whole time, finally looked up and muttered the password to the Fat Lady.

"Well, I mean, I-" Lily was interrupted by a loud strum of music sounded and a deep, melodic voice filled up the room as soon as the girls stepped in. The couches and tables had been set aside, leaving a large space in the middle of the room. The lights were dimmed, and different spots of colored lights were gleaming across the rose petals strewn on the floor, setting off a romantic mood.

James' Part

"When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks,"

James, flanked by Sirius on his right and Remus on his left entered the room from the boys dormitories. James, Sirius, and Remus all wore form-fitting tuxedos and shiny black dress shoes. James, hair messy as ever, led the singing and dancing, Remus and Sirius in the background with lovely roses tucked into their breast pockets followed.

"And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand," James took Lily hands and twirled her around, Sirius grabbing Marlene ad Remus taking Mary.
"Oh me I fall in love with you every single day,
And I just wanna tell you I am," James' melodic voice rang out as he held the note, letting Sirius take over the next part.

Sirius' Part

"So honey now,
Take me into your loving arms,
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars,
Place your head on my beating heart,
I'm thinking out loud,
Maybe we found love right where we are,"

He expertly dipped Marlene, causing her to giggle.

"When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades,
And the crowds don't remember my name,
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm,
I know you will still love me the same, Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen,
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory," Sirius twirled Marlene again.

Remus' Part:

"I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways,
Maybe it's all part of a plan,
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes,
Hoping that you'll understand," Mary, who was blushing furiously by now, was struck by the sweetness of it all, unable to wipe the smile of her face.

"But baby now,
Take me into your loving arms,
Kiss me under the light of a thousand s,tars,
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud,
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh,"

James, Sirius, and Remus Together

"Ah la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la," The three ofthem twirled their girls off to the side, as rehearsed, and began performing a set of dance moves they had practiced earlier.

"So baby now,
Take me into your loving arms,
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars,
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart,
I'm thinking out loud,
That maybe we found love right where we are," the three Marauders sang in unison.

"Oh maybe we found love right where we are,
And we found love right where we are,"

the song finally finished, the lights coming back on and the other Gryffindors who had watched from the sides after being led down by the loud music stood clapping and cheering.

James kneeled in front of Lily, pulling out a bouquet of lilies and holding them out to her. "Lily, will you go to the carnival with me?"

Lily froze, unsure of what to say. The song had touched her so deeply, so sweetly, so lovingly. She would have said yes, if it weren't for someone else. For Alex. "I'm so sorry, James," Lily breathed in, every word crushing her heart for reasons unbeknownst to her. "But I already have a date." And with that, she ran up into her dormitories, guilt already sinking its fangs into her heart.

A/N: Alrighty! Well! There's chapter 4! Hope you all liked it! And just in case you're wondering what the song is, look up Think Out Loud by Ed Sheeran. And yes, yes, I know this isn't a 70's song, BUT WHO CARES? I LIKE IT SO DEAL WITH IT. And if you listen to the song and like it, well, then I like you too.

So bye for now!
