Can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands you?
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see—
You belong with me?

Standing by and waiting at your backdoor.
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me,
You belong with me.

You belong with me.

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?

~ You Belong With Me- Taylor Swift

May 16 was day to go down in the history books Sirius thought as he laid down his quill. He watched as McGonagall waved her wand and his last exam flew neatly through the air and landed on her desk. He hurried from the room, grabbing Remus and James on the way. They burst through the door into the bright sunlight. Sirius threw his arms up and laughed out loud. The last few months of furious studying, sleepless nights, missed meals had all lead to this moment.

He sat down against the tree and pulled Remus between his legs. He nip at the werewolf's neck making him arch his neck with a small moan. He whispered dirty thoughts in Remus' ear as he pressed his hips into his back.

"Save it for the dorm, you two." Sirius grinned at the prone figure staring up at the sky.

"Uh oh, I think someone is feeling a little jealous."

"Stuff it, Black!"

"Oh, gladly! Wasn't aware you were that into me, Potter. I'm flattered."

"Moony, how do you put up with him?" Remus shrugged.

"He is a great lay." James snorted.

"I don't want to know."

"You asked." All was quiet for a moment. The three males enjoyed the feeling of the warm sun on their bodies after being cooped inside for so long. A gentle breeze blew, keeping them from being too hot. James turned his head and groaned when he saw his two best mates once again making out. Again. He jumped up and walked to the lake's edge.

"Can't you two give it a rest? No one wants to see that!" Remus pulled back and looked at his pacing friend. James stood with his shoulders hunched up, hands deep in his pockets.

"You know, mate, Emmy would say yes to you if you just asked her." James gave no reply, simply continued to stare across the lake. The whole school was aware of what was between the two. Everyone could see just by watching that the pair liked each other by the way they acted. The two never missed a chance to touch each other on the arm, shoulder, hand. Ever since the incident in the Astronomy Tower, James had made it his sole mission to accompany Emily everywhere to make sure she arrived safely.

The only ones that couldn't see it was the pair of them. It didn't help that Lucas constantly hounded the catcher about being around his sister. He had even gone so far as to tell James that Emily was only friends with him out of pity. When that tidbit had made it back to Emily, she had apparently hexed him with a langlock spell and had refused to reverse it for two days. Still the damage had been done.

James now refused to believe anything his mates told him when it came to the newest member of the Marauders. He would purposely pair himself with Sirius when it came to late night adventures to avoid being alone with the girl. Emily had revealed to Remus on the last night trip into Hogsmeade for party supplies that she thought James resented her being around all the time. It had taken Remus several days to convince her it wasn't true. Sirius, for his part, had been trying to convince James that what Lucas had said simply wasn't true.

The effort to get the stubborn Pure-Bloods to admit their feelings had left little time for the two lovers to be together the way they wanted to. Luckily, Remus was the smartest wizard in their class and he had devised a plan to get them together. That night, they were throwing a House party. There was going to be plenty of dancing and alcohol. Lily had agreed to help Emily get ready for the party. She assured him that by the time she was finished, James would throw her over his shoulder and cart her off to ravish her in a closet.

Emily ignored the giggling of her roommates and snuggled further into the pillow. She could already hear music blasting up the stairs. She wasn't in the mood to party. She wanted to lounge in her pajamas and eat chocolate while reading Wuthering Heights. She certainly didn't want to watch girls throwing themselves at James and she certainly didn't want to watch him slip one up to his dorm. The thought made her stomach clench violently.

Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice the sudden silence until she was being forcibly pulled from the bed and into the shower. She shrieked when cold water blasted her in the face. She yanked around and glared at the red-head.

"What is your problem?" She reached for the knob but Lily grabbed her wrist.

"Emily Rose Greenleigh, you are going to shower and then you are going to get dressed and then you are going to get your sexy ass down to that party!" With that, Lily flounced from the room leaving a gaping Emily behind. With a resounding curse, she adjusted the water and removed her soaked clothes. Fifteen minutes later, she exited the bathroom in a towel. She was unprepared when she was forced into a chair. Suddenly, she was attacked from all sides as her three roommates swarmed her. Lily pulled and yanked at her hair while Valerie did her nails and Marlene did her make-up. Emily gave up resisting and let herself be mauled. It was nearly an hour later when they stood back and stared in awe at their creation. Lily smirked.

"You are going to knock Potter on his ass, Greenleigh."

James stood with his three of his teammates, not listening to the conversation. The bass from the music pulsed in his head. He sighed, and sipped from his beer. Something off to the left caught his eye and he choked, spewing beer on the unsuspecting Keeper beside him. Mickey pounded on his back and turned to see what had startled his friend so bad. His eyes bulged out of his head and he gave a low whistle. Soon the whole group was staring open-mouthed as Lily and Emily strolled to the drink table.

James could only stare. Emily wore a red dress that looked like it had been painted on. The cloth clung to every curve and emphasized her generous breasts. Her long hair fell in curls down her back, making James' fingers itch to run through it. His gaze dipped low, taking in her long tanned legs encased in a pair of impossibly high black pumps. He watched helplessly as she was approached by another guy, a long-hated rival. Watched while she smiled and followed him onto the dance floor.

He hardly noticed as liquid ran down his arm from his crushed cup. His teeth ground as he watched Oliver pulled her close and start to rock his hips. Her arms draped around his neck as she matched him move for move. The blood pounded in his head as he watched Oliver's hands start to wander down her hips to her ass. Emily took a step back and shook her head. She said something James couldn't hear and started to walk off only to be jerked back again. She shouted something but the music was too loud.

James wasn't aware he had moved until he was suddenly beside them. Remus and Sirius were one step behind him. James pulled Emily away and pushed her towards Remus, who in turn, pushed her behind him. Emily watched wide-eyed as the two boys went at each other with a violence she had never known them capable of. No one moved to put a stop to the fight, preferring to cheer on one or the other. Everyone knew of the long-standing feud between the two boys though no one could say what the true cause was. The two boys had come to Hogwarts hating each other.

The boys were evenly matched but James' anger soon gave him the upper-hand. He left Oliver on the floor and stalked off. Emily followed him to the drink table, where he took several shots in a row. The music changed to a slow sultry beat. Emily took his hand and pulled him back to the floor. She placed his hands around her waist and draped her arms around his neck. They moved together as one, melding together. Without words, Emily apologized for dancing with his most hated rival. Without words, James accepted. The rest of their surroundings faded away, leaving just the sultry beat of drums.

Emily lost herself in his hazel eyes. He ran the back of his hand down her check, cupping her neck. Slowly, he lowered his head and kissed her. Warmth spread like liquid fire through her body. She moaned softly and opened her mouth slightly. Their tongues tangled together, exploring every crevice. Their bodies pressed together, seeking relief from the flames. They parted. James leaned his forehead against hers, both gasping for breath.

He quirked a brow, silently asking. She gulped and nodded. He took her hand and together they slipped up the steps to the room.

"Looks like your plan worked." Sirius said nodding to the couple. Remus hummed in agreement. He was far too busy attacking his boyfriend's neck. He whispered into Sirius' ear. The canine grinned down at him and took his hand, pulling him out of the tower.

A/N:

The langlock spell is a spell that glues your tongue to the roof of your mouth.

The next chapter is going to be pure smut FYI.
