Soundtrack of my Summer

Chapter ten: Nighttime activities (Get your mind out of the gutter!)

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. End of story.

A/N: What? What is this blasphemy? Skye is updating in four days? Is the world ending? Should we flee to forgotten lands in hope of safety? No, rest assured good citizens, the end of the world has not arrived, you can come out of your bomb shelters. I just have exams this week, and writing is an excellent distraction from studying. So I typed up this chapter. I had already written it though, in a notebook... but whatever. So anyway, thank you to all of my reviewers! You guys rock! And notice the title change too, this story used to be called Miami: the City of Love (though really it was Cily in the title because of my awesome typing skills...) So yeah. REVIEW!

"Check," Lily said, smiling sweetly at James as her queen took his rook. He groaned and glared at the little chess piece as it dragged his precious rook off the board. Lily grinned at him.

"I am kicking your ass," she said as James carefully moved his king out of check.

"Hey, it ain't over til it's over," he replied confidently, but knowing deep inside that he was screwed. They played for a few more minutes and Lily sat back grinning as she announced checkmate for the fourth time in a row. James stared at her in shock.

"What? No fair, you cheated!" he exclaimed.

"No I didn't! I won fair and square now give me my chocolate frog," she said.

"Make me," James said childishly.

"Alright," Lily said, getting up from her spot on the floor and tackling James, who was lying on the couch.

She got on top of him, laughing, and reached for the chocolate frog in his right hand. However, he was too quick, and he pulled it away from her. He then started tickling her, grinning evilly.

"Ahh!" she screamed, laughing and squirming around. She tried to retaliate by tickling him as well, but didn't succeed, as he was rather strong.

Lily tried to get away from him, but realized a little bit too late that she was on the very edge of the couch. She screamed again, and just seconds before she would have hit the ground, she felt James's strong arms around her, pulling her back up to rest on his stomach. She smiled at him, exhaling deeply.

"Thanks for that," she said. He smiled his heart melting smile at her, and she retaliated with one of her own.

"Anytime," he said. They smiled at each other for a few moments before Lily slowly leaned down, planting a soft kiss on his lips. This soft kiss quickly turned into a heated match of tongue hockey, and when Lily thought he wouldn't notice she reached her hand down to his, grabbing at the chocolate frog. He pulled it away quickly.

She broke the kiss and pouted at him.

"Please?" she begged, giving him her best puppy dog eyes.

"Fine," he sighed, giving in. Lily smiled. She knew there was no way he would be able to refuse the puppy dog look.

"Thank you," she said sweetly. She leaned down and gave him another kiss, which he happily returned. They broke apart and Lily lay her head down on his chest.

They lay there like that for a while after that. James was casually rubbing circles on Lily's back and she was munching on her chocolate frog. At about 10:20, 30 or so minutes later, Remus came into the room and told them that the others were all going to bed. Lily and James begrudgingly agreed to go too, getting up and giving each other one more kiss before going to sleep.

Bang! There was an explosion outside, causing the entire little cottage to shake. A man stood, facing the door, with his wand at the ready. There was another bang, and this time the whole door fell off of its hinges. The man tensed, tightening his grip around his wand as a hooded figure swept into the room.

"What do you want?" the man demanded.

"I am here for the boy. Surely you know that," came the voice of the man under the hood. It was a cold voice, and it seemed to fill the entire room with ice.

"No, you won't get him," the man said.

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to die too. Goodbye James Potter. Avada Kedavra," James Potter fell to the floor, dead as a stone.

Lily awoke with a start, breathing heavily. She sat up in bed and checked the clock. 1:45. She got out of bed, put on her robe, and blindly walked out into the hallway. She didn't really know what she was doing, but after dreaming about his death, she just wanted to go make sure James was alright.

She slowly opened the door to James and Sirius's room. The light from the window fell on the first bed to show it contained Sirius. Lily tiptoed to the farther bed. She bent down beside it and lightly up a hand on James's arm.

"James?" she whispered. He stirred.

"Lily?" James said, groggily, squinting at her since he didn't have his glasses on. Lily smiled, incredibly relieved.

"Oh, thank Merlin," she said, reaching forward and hugging him.

"Lily? Although it is nice to wake up at 1:45 in the morning to my girlfriend hugging me, I have to ask why?" he said, smiling into her hair. Lily pulled back.

"I, uh, I had a nightmare. A really scary one," she answered. James looked concerned.

"Are you okay? Do you want to lie down here?" James asked.

"Maybe just for a few minutes," she answered. James scooted over in his bed and Lily climbed in next to him. Instantly he put his arm around her.

"This is nice," Lily muttered, moving closer to him.

"Mmhmm," he murmered into her hair as both of them casually drifted back off to sleep

Marie lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling. She turned to look at the clock and saw that it read 5:58. She groaned and tried to call back asleep again, but she suddenly heard a floorboard creak in the hallway. She frowned, confused.

"Marie got out of bed, throwing on a sweatshirt and quickly pulling some running pants on over her sleep shorts.

She opened the door and walked out into the hallway. Looking first right, then left, she saw a dark form moving down their stairs. Her heart rate quickened. What if it was a burglar? Or a murderer! He could have snuck in and killed everyone. Marie couldn't let him get away with that!

She quickly sprinted down the hall and towards the staircase. She heard a small crash in the kitchen and flattened herself against the wall of the stairwell, hiding in the shadows. She paused and heard someone muttering curse words.

Now or never, she thought. Turning on the kitchen lights, she jumped into the room, only to be met with a shock.

"Sirius?!?" she sputtered, looking down at the man in front of her. He was on the floor, bent over a broken teacup. He looked up at her, shocked.

"Marie?" he said, looking wearily up at the wand in her hand that she couldn't even remember drawing.

"What are you doing?" she asked stupidly, putting her wand away.

"I was going to go for a run, like I do every morning... what are you doing?" he asked. She blushed, realizing how stupid it would sound.

"I, uh, I couldn't sleep, and I heard you in the hallway and I thought you were a murderer or something," she said. He chuckled.

"Nope. Just me, and I'm no murderer," he said. She smiled, and bent to help with the broken teacup. She took one look at it before getting out her wand.

"Repairo," she whispered, and the teacup instantly put itself back together.

"Wish I had thought of that," Sirius said, smiling at Marie, "Well, unless you plan on accusing me of another murder I think I'm going to go for my run now," he said jokingly as they both got up off the floor.

"Can I come with you? I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep anyway," she said.

"Sure, but I'm warning you, I go pretty fast," Sirius said.

"I can handle it," Marie answered, pulling on her shoes that were sitting next to the door. She opened the door and walked out, Sirius on her tail. He began to run, and Marie jogged along beside him.

"Fast? Please," she said. He grinned.

"We're just warming up honey," he answered, beginning to quicken his pace. She sped up right along side him. Neither one was close to being out of breath yet.

They continued going, just running along the beach. Once in a while, Sirius would speed up and Marie would just speed up with him.

"I have to hand it to you, you are pretty fast. How did you get in this good of shape?" he asked. She smirked.

"I just like to run. And my Quiddich captain is a slave driver. He makes us do 2 laps before and after each practice," was her reply.

"I play Quiddich too, but since James is our captain and he's a lazy arse we don't do laps at our practices," Sirius said, laughing, "What position do you play?"

"Keeper, you?"

"Beater," he responded.

"I can definitely see you playing beater," she said, grinning. He returned the smile, and they continued jogging in silence, just enjoying the challenge.

"Hey Sirius?" Marie asked a few minutes later as they neared their fourth mile.

"Yeah?" he said, turning to look at her.

"Um, you know that date we went on last Friday?"

"Uh huh."

"Do you think we could maybe do it again sometime? Just the two of us?" Marie asked. Sirius smiled.

"I think I can live with that," he answered. He began to slow to a stop, and Marie did too. They were in front of a large rock formation on the beach.

"This is usually where I turn around since it's kind of hard to run through rocks," he said, but Marie wasn't looking at him. Instead she was gazing out at the ocean. The sun was rising, and it was reflected over the water. Sirius came up behind her and stood next to her. He grabbed her hand and she turned to smile at him.

"Beautiful isn't it?" she said, her eyes back on the sunrise.

"Mmhmm," he said. But Sirius wasn't looking at the ocean, he was looking right at Marie. She turned to look at him as well, blushing slightly.

"They looked into each others eyes for a few seconds before Sirius hesitantly leaned forward and kissed her. She happily complied, moving her arms up to rest on his broad, muscular chest as his went around her waist.

When oxygen became a necessity, they pulled apart, panting and smiling at each other.

"I could get used to this," Sirius said, and Marie agreed, then reached forward to kiss him again. When they pulled apart the started running home, both of them grinning like fools the whole way.

"Oi! Remus! Prongsie has a girl in his bed!" was the cry that woke Lily that morning. She opened her eyes to take in her surroundings, only to see that she was in fact still in James's bed. I must have fallen asleep here last night.

Lily turned around to look at James, who still had his arms around her. She smiled tiredly at him, and he smiled back.

"Sirius, leave James and Lily alone," Remus called back. Bless him.

"Morning love," James said, running at hand through his hair, a habit she had come to love.

"Your best mate is mental," Lily said, with a smile on her face. James laughed and gave her a kiss. Lily tiredly sat up, a feat that proved difficult, as James was still holding her around the middle and refused to let go.

"Lily was laughing hard but the time she finally got up into a full sitting position, as was James. He sat up as well, resting his back against the wall.

"JAMES!" came a yell from the door as it was thrown open. James and Lily both rolled their eyes as Sirius came bounding into the room.

"Yes...?" he said. Sirius ran over to the bed and pulled James into a huge hug.

"Jamsie, you are growing up so fast! Oh, I think I feel some tears coming on," he said.

"Ha ha," James said, not sounding at all amused.

"I just want you to remember James, that your body is special," Sirius continued, "And I want you to think long and hard about the decisions you are going to be faced with."

"Oh, God Sirius," James said as Lily started to laugh.

"I'm just saying..."

"SIRIUS!" James exclaimed.

"Fine, don't take my advice, see if I care," Sirius said, feigning hurt, "And get your ass out of bed. It's your day to cook breakfast and I want pancakes!" Sirius finished childishly before walking out of the room, leaving a laughing Lily and James behind him.

"We'd better get up then, you know how dangerous a hungry Sirius can be," Lily said.

"No, just five more minutes," James pouted, still holding onto her waist. She smiled.

"I think I can deal with that," Lily said, settling back to lay in James's arms again.
