Disclaimer: As you all know Harry Potter doesn't belong to me.

So I got a review saying that they don't want Peter in the story. He won't be involved unless the plot needs him.

"Liiiiiiily" I turn my head, trying to find the source of the voice, but all I see is mist.

"Turn around Lily" I do, but no one is there. I scream in frustration, and hear a chuckle from behind me.

"Now now Lily, patience dear." I don't want to be patient! Who is talking to me? They sound so famili-

"Arghhhhhh!" I yell as I trip over. Just before I hit the floor I am swept up by a pair of arms.

"Why are you so clumsy Lily?" My saviour says. I look up and see-

"James." I breathe. He smiles down at me and pulls me in for a hug. I cling to him, feeling safe. As long as I am in James' arms nothing can hurt me.

"Lily" he whispers, so quiet I almost don't hear him. I look up at him. His eyes are dark and full of lust behind those sexy rectangular glasses. He bends down, and I move my head up eagerly. He captures my lips and I cling to him, never wanting to have to move my head away. My lips part and my tongue snakes out. I lick his bottom lip. He chuckles. I pull away and look at him. But James isn't holding me in his arms anymore. Sev is. I gasp and wriggle, trying to get away from him.

"What did you do to James!?" I scream, punching his chest.

"Same thing that I did to your other lover." Sev responds, a smile forming. He indicates over my shoulder with his head. I turn around and see James lying there, in a pool of blood, his glasses askew. The lips that had been pressed against mine only moments ago were the colour of ash. I try to scream, but I can't make a sound.

"Now where were we?" Sev says, before lowering his lips to mine.

My eyes fly open and I take deep breathes, trying to calm myself down. I try to move but something is pinning me to my pillow. I try to figure out what happened and why I am pinned to the bed. Wait…this isn't my pillow. Who's shirt is it? Suddenly I remember the previous day. James. But instead of feeling repulsed I feel safe, happy. It's weird. So instead of hitting him and making him move I snuggle closer, clutching his shirt. His heart suddenly starts to beat faster. That's strange. I move to sit up, and his arms loosen, letting me up.

"Hey." I whisper, not wanting to wake the others.

"Morning Lily" he whispers back, grinning that crooked smile of his. I yawn and then immediately gasp in pain, clutching my ribs.

"Lily are you alright?" James looks extremely worried. It's sweet and I smile.

"I'm…fine?" I say, prodding at my body. Ow…ow…ow…ow…ow…ow.

"I take that back, I am in pain!" I groan, clutching my ribs. James frowns and reaches up to touch my side. I freeze as his fingers probe my side, and then gasp when he pushes a painful rib.

"Sorry," He murmur's, before moving his hand away. I whimper inwardly at the loss of his hand. What is wrong with me!? I am lusting after James Potter! I need help…I have problems. Wow…James is stroking my leg. SERIOUS LEG STROKING GOING ON! I look at him, shocked.

"Don't worry Lily, I'm just checking your injuries." Oh. Right. Of course. Talking about injuries, that sort of hurts.

"Umm, James…that hurts" I wince, pushing his hand away.

"Sorry." He says, smiling ruefully. He frowns and reaches up to touch my face.

"What happened?" He asks, looking slightly mad.

"Malfoy and Snape" I mumble, biting my lip then frowning when come across a cut. Is there a part on my body that did not get cut/hit/abused!? James moves his fingers from my cheek and cups my face. He rubs my lip with the pad of his thumb. The breathe catches in my throat as I try to register what is going on. My tongue moves on its own accord and flicks out to lick his thumb. What the fuck did I just do!? Stupid hormones. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. James' eyes darken like they did in my dream, and suddenly I know what is coming next. I lick my lips and move my head up as his moves down. Our lips meet halfway and I swear that I see stars behind my closed eyes. James' lips are soft, yet insistent and he kisses me with a hidden passion. I kiss him back, my hands moving up to entangle themselves in his hair. We sit up, not breaking contact and his hands move down to my waist. I tug on his hair lightly, making him moan. His mouth opens and his tongue flicks across my lips. Oh wow, I practically melt into him as he nips my lip. I open my mouth easily and our tongues tangle, fighting for dominance. He gasps as I win, and start to explore his mouth. I honestly can't think of a word to describe this kiss. Actually I can. One word. Yum. Yum, yum, yum, yum. YUM! His mouth moves away from mine and he kisses across my jaw and up to my ear. He sucks the lobe before moving to kiss and suck on my neck. I moan with pleasure. I am in heaven. I could literally die now and be happy. So, so happy. Suddenly I hear a crunch and we spring apart. Black and Lupin come into view from behind a tree. They take in our rumpled clothes, James' messy hair, our swollen lips and flushed faces.

"What's going on?" Black asks, a stupid grin on his face. I open my mouth to snap at him but James gets there first.

"Nothing." Wow. Nothing. That hurt. I move away from him, frowning. Lupin looks at me, a sad smile on his mouth. He doesn't know how I feel!

"Come on Red, what as going on?" Black wheedles, waggling his eyebrows at me.

"Like Potter said, nothing of importance" I reply, a sharp tone in my voice. Jam-Potter looks at me, hurt. Screw him. How dare he act hurt!? I glare at him, before moving to stand up. Bad idea. My body screams in protest and I collapse onto the ground again.

"Lil-I mean Evans. Are you ok?" Potter asks, but he sounds more annoyed than concerned.

"Hmm. Am I ok? Let me think about that one. I have been kidnapped by three morons who only care about money, I was left alone in the woods, I was then kidnapped by my ex-best friend. What else? Oh yeah, I was tortured for at least THREE FUCKING HOURS and you want to know if I am ok!? FUCK POTTER HOW STUPID CAN A PERSON GET!?" I scream, leaping up to my feet and then swearing when a sharp pain shoots up through both legs. Forgot about the numerous cuts and my sprained ankle. Way to go Lily. The other three look a bit shocked at my outburst. I turn and flounce off, heading towards the trees. Stupid, fucking Potter. Stupid kiss. Oh it was nothing absolutely nothing!

"NOTHING MY ARSE!" I scream, kicking a tree. Fuck that hurt. I hear a chuckle from behind me. I spin round and promptly lose balance and fall on my arse. Smoothe Lily.

"Are you alright Lily?" Lupin. Of course. No one else calls me Lily anymore. It's not like it's my name or something…oh no wait, it is.

"I knew you were a traitor but I didn't think you were stupid, Lupin" I hiss, glaring at the hand he offers me. He doesn't move it.

"Lily, just take my hand." He sighs, waving it in my face.
"If you don't move your hand I am going to bite you!" He moves his hand quickly, before sighing and sitting next to me. I glare at him. He doesn't move. Traitor.

"Lily, I know that you're not exactly happy with me at the moment." I snort. That's a bout of an understatement. "Ok, you sort of hate me. But we never intended for you to get hurt. Our plan was to stay 5 minutes away and within hearing range so that you would be safe."

"And how did that work out for you?" I growl. He smiles sheepishly.

"If it makes you feel any better as soon as he realised you were gone James sort of…flipped out."

"Yeah, like I believe that. I am sure that the fact that I was missing meant absolutely Nothing to him. Nothing at all. Nothing." Ok, so maybe a I overused the word 'nothing' a lot. Lupin just smiles sadly.

"He hurt you didn't he?" He asks. I don't really get what he means.

"If you mean he poked me several times in the ribs then yes." I say, frowning.

"I didn't mean it like that, even though I did tell him not to. I meant that whatever you were doing before we interrupted meant something to you, and it hurt you that he brushed it off as nothing." Wow. He should be a psychologist.

"Oh no, like he said, it was Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. Nada." Again with the nothing. Get a grip Lily!

"Lily, were you kissing?" How does he know that!?
"Eww! No! Why would I kiss Potter?" I scoff several times.

"Lily, you are honestly fooling no one." Lupin says, grinning. Shut up.

"So? Like he said it was Nothing. Nothing. Absolutely Nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing." New favourite word…NOTHING!

"Lily. He panicked. He didn't want Sirius to tease him about it so he said the first thing that came to mind." Psh.

"Yeah, like that makes me feel better. He still said that 5 minutes of snogging meant absolutely nothing to him…the bastard." Lupin laughs at that. I can't help but smile, his laugh is annoyingly infectious.

"Lily, he's and idiot. Look, you have every right to be mad at him. He left you tied to a tree in the middle of the night resulting in you being captured and tortured. He also kissed you and said that it meant nothing. But he did freak out when you were gone and we had to hold him back several times to stop him from running into an early grave. He wasn't thinking." I look at Lupin.

"I hate just how much sense you make." I frown, shaking my head. Lupin laughs again.

"Thanks…Remus" I say, smiling.

"That's ok Lily, lets get back to the others."

James' POV

Potter. Potter. Not James, Potter. Why is she suddenly calling me Potter!? I didn't do anything wrong! Fine. If she wants to act like that. Fine. Evans it is. Evans. Not Lily. Evans.

"James" I spin round, and see Lil-Evans(!) standing behind me, an embarrassed look on her face. James? I don't think so.

"What now Evans?" She flinches.

"I just wanted to say…" she trails off, but Moony (who is standing at her side) elbows her in the ribs. She winces and glares at him.

"Potter. I wanted to know…why did you rescue me?" She mumbles, looking at the ground. Moony elbows her again. "AndIwantedtosayThankYou." She spits the words out, speaking so fast that they merge into one. Ok James, here is your chance. Just tell her how you feel.

"Well I couldn't very well get the reward money if I didn't have you could I?" Shit. Wrong answer. Her face falls and for a second I think that I can see tears starting to form. She shakes her head angrily and then fixes me with a glare. Let's just say if looks could kill…I would be dead.

"Of course. Because that's all you care about. Money. NOTHING else. Everything else means Nothing to you. Absolutely Nothing. Nothing. So fuck you and your fucking love of NOTHING! I FUCKING HATE YOU POTTER AND IF I WASN'T IN SO MUCH PAIN YOU WOULD BE DEAD!" She screeches, before Moony lifts her up and carry's her away, giving me a 'well I tried' look.

"Awkwaaaaaard"

"Shut up Padfoot." I hiss, before storming off. "Come on guys, I want to make it to the house before nightfall."

Remus' POV

I give up. One step forwards, two steps back.

Please don't hurt me *hides*. Don't worry though. They won't be able to resist each other for long. So any ideas on where the next chapter should be set? Where is the house? I hope you liked this one. I was sort of feeling quite angsty and it appears to have bled into my writing.

Reviews are Nothing and Kisses.
