I own nothing but my OC's
Chapter thirty five- Proposals.
Still shaky on my feet I bid Poppy good bye and start heading towards the tower. About half way there I stop and lean against the wall for support. Damn, being asleep for two weeks really takes a lot out of you. I rest my head against the wall and close my eyes. I want to surprise my friends, that is if I even make it without collapsing. That damn bastard, he is so lucky he's dead.
I blink my eyes open quickly as I feel myself getting picked in the air and cradled against someone chest. I breathe in the scent and close my eyes again.
"Sirius." I say with a sigh.
"Mhmm." He says with his face in my hair. I blink my eyes open and stare into his grey ones. "Weren't trying to escape were you?" He says a wicked glint in his eyes.
"No, actually Poppy let me out and I was trying to surprise you all but well.." I trail off.
"Tired?" I sigh.
"My legs felt like rubber." I admit, he cracks a smile.
"You were in a coma for merlin's sake. Of course your legs would feel like that. But luckily I'm here to help you surprise everyone else."
"Lucky you are here." I say as he leans down and kisses me.
"I missed that."
"I missed you." I laugh.
"Good to know."
"Ready?" Sirius asks me placing me on the ground and grabbing my hand.
"Yes love." He pushes open the door and we walk in.
"Hello there." I say with a bright smile.
"Sirius! I told you that you're not supposed to sneak her out! She needs her rest!" Lily yells to him.
"Calm down sister. I didn't sneak her out." He says.
"Poppy let me out, and I was trying to surprise you all and then Sirius found me!"
"Oh, well you still need your rest!" Lily says.
"Yeah, yeah." I wave off her order. I look around the room. "This place is a mess, it looks like you haven't left it." Everyone shifts uncomfortably. "You did leave the room right?"
"Urm-" Remus begins when Jade interrupts.
"No, they barely left the room once. They didn't go to classes and really the only time they left the room was to go to the hospital wing!"
I was shocked, firstly because Jade was here and she wasn't a Gryffindor secondly because they didn't leave the room. Why wouldn't they leave? What if I didn't wake up what would have happened then?
"What would have happened if I didn't wake up?" I say angrily. They all look away.
"We would have eventually got up, we would have to for Lily and James' wedding." I shoot my head towards my brother with a frown.
"You got engaged?!" He looks away nervously.
"Well I didn't buy her a ring or anything I just asked because I figured that we might as well."
"No!" I yell. They looked shocked
"Why not?" Lily asks.
"James take it back you have to do it the right way!" He looks at with a raised eye brow.
"So being half dead really did change you a bit didn't it?"
"JAMES!" Lily shouts, clearly shocked at his blunt comment.
"Hmm, guess it did." I say with a grin, that comment not fazing me in the least. "But since I'm not going to get a fairy tale wedding because it's not my style, Lily has to." He smiles at me.
"Fine, fine."
"Thank you!" I turn to Lily, "Don't worry I'll make myself think like a girl so I can help him plan this all out."
"I'll hold you to that." It got quiet and then Remus spoke up.
"We've been talking Zee, and well-"
"We're all joining the order after we graduate." The smile falls of my face. "I'm not letting James face this by himself or you or Sirius for that matter. We already talked to Dumbledore."
"We're in this together." Remus tells me.
"We all want to do this; it killed them last time not knowing what was going on. It killed me." Peter says speaking up.
"I can't stop you, but I wish you wouldn't." I say.
"You're right you can't." Lily says. A smile tugs at my lips.
"We then, looks as if we'll be kicking arse together than." They beam back.
"Damn straight." Jade says.
"So then, day after graduation?" Remus asks.
"Day after graduation." I repeat with a smile.

A loud scream wakes me from my sleep, I turn over to see Sirius screaming. Lily rushes forward and shakes his shoulders.
"Sirius! Sirius!" She yells. He then stops screaming and I'm so shocked I couldn't move. What was wrong with him?
"Lily?" He asked. She wraps and arm around him and kisses his forehead.
"I'm here, and so is Zee. Everything is okay now." She says trying to soothe him. He shoulders sag. "I'll leave you too him." She kisses his forehead again before she walks back over to James' bed.
"Love, are you okay?" He nods, and tried to control his breathing. "Let's go to the room of requirement we have quite a few things to talk about it looks like." He stands up and reaches for me, picks me up in his arms and we walk towards the seventh floor. He sets me down as I walk past it three times thinking of the same room Sirius and I always use.
He picks me up again and lays me on the bed under the covers and climbs in with me.
"I love this bed." He says smiling.
"Me too."
"I dream about it." He admits. "For the last two weeks I woke up like that, and Lily would always be there talking to me, and taking me to the kitchens to get a cup of tea. I guess I'm just not used to the fact that you're back."
"Well get used to it." I say leaning forward to kiss him. "Because I'm not going anywhere." I look down nervously and he must have noticed because he titled my chin up to meet his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Sirius I've been thinking, well you're it for me. I mean I can't picture being without you. And well I know marriage isn't exactly our thing but-"
"Love, I already picture us as married." He says interrupting me.
"You do?"
"Of course, me and you, we don't need any of that marriage crap. I love you and you love me and as long as we know that isn't going to change then we're already married."
"Okay then husband." I say with a grin.
"Mrs. Black." He says, and I start to laugh.
"Mrs. Black? Hmm Xeomara Elizabeth Black. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"
"Sure does. So does that mean you're still going to use my last name even though we're not legally married?" I shrug my shoulders.
"I believe so." I say leaving a kiss on his lips.
"You believe so?"
"I do." I tell him, he barks out a laugh.
"Do you like children?" I ask him suddenly.
"Love them." He replies, "I want 10."
"10?!" I say incredulously.
"How about 2?" He pouts, "You're not the one that is going to carrying them around for nine months."
He huffs, "Fine."
"But after the war." I tell him.
"After the war." He agrees.
"Sirius, there is only one thing left." He looks up and meets my eyes knowing exactly what I'm talking about.
"Are you sure you just got out of the hospital wing. I could-"
I shut him up with a kiss, I push my tongue at his lips and he opens it meeting my tongue. We kiss passionately for awhile, my whole body plastered against his. His mouth breaks from mine as he trails kisses up and down my neck. I suppress a shiver, and nibble on his ear lobe. He groans and flips over laying on top of me. He leans down and kisses my mouth forcefully, his tongue moving fastly in my mouth, as I begin to tug on his tee shirt over his head. He breaks the kiss for only and second I remove it all the way off.
I lean forward and press kisses on his chest, sucking lightly at his neck. My hands come forward and I scratch up and down his back. He shivers under my hands and starts tugging my own tee shirt over my head. My naked chest meets his as he leans down and kisses me. I wrap my arms tightly around his back, rubbing my hands along the hard muscles of his upper back. I run my hands along his back until I reach his pants and begin pushing them down. He leans back and kicks them the rest of the way. I too sit up and push his briefs off, as he starts working on my pants. Once we're both naked his falls on top of my and runs his mouth up and down my scar and then works its way back up to my mouth. I suck on his tongue furiously as he pushes into me. He moans into my mouth, and his kiss comes more forcefully. I break the kiss and start biting on his neck, my breathing labored as was his.
I close my eyes and lean back as he rolls over and lays down next to me. I snuggle up to him and put my head into the crook of his neck breathing in his scent.
"I love you." I say pressing a kiss to his neck.
"I love you too." He whispers in my ear. "And I always will."

"We really need to go to class today." I say in between kisses. We were back in his dorm laying in his bed waiting for everyone else to finish getting ready.
"You're recovering, you need to stay in bed."
"And that what requires you to look after me?"
He laughs, "A husband always takes care of his wife."
"Husband? Wife?" James says staring at us. Sirius rolls off of me and we both sit up and stare at James. "When in the hell did you marry my sister Black?!" he says sounded pissed.
"James, we're not really married. We talked last night and we decided that since we really didn't want to have a wedding that it didn't matter if we were legally married because to each other we are married."
"Oh." He says, nodding his head. "That makes sense. I was just a little mad because I thought I didn't get invited to the wedding."
"You know us mate, no weddings." I frown and remember something.
"I feel bad though, Mum wanted to give me away at my wedding." I say referring to James' mum.
"Mauire, mum wouldn't care just as long as you're happy." I smile at him, and sober up.
"I am happy." Sirius leans over and kisses me.
"Good."
"So I guess you're the first one in our group to be 'married'". Lily says smiling.
"Sure am."
"But you don't have a ring." She says.
"Lily I don't need a ring because we're not-"
"I'll get you a ring." I grin at him.
"See Lily, I'll get a ring still." She laughs.
"You two, I swear." I look at Sirius and shrug my shoulders.
"NEWTS are next week! We need to get to class!" Remus says frantically tugging his shirt on.
"Remus!" Jade yells, slapping his hands out of the way and buttoning his shirt for him. "Calm down. I know you're nervous but you'll do fine." He sighs and leans down to kiss her.
"Jade I congratulate you for being able to calm him down, it takes me at least twenty minutes. I should have tried kissing him."
"I'm glad you didn't." Sirius says grabbing my arm as we make our way to lessons.
"I would never dream of kissing anyone else dear Husband."
"You better not wife." He tells me kissing my lips softly.
"That is going to take some getting used to." James mutters.
"Yeah what happened to the couple that didn't like to kiss each other in public." Lily agrees walking hand in hand with James.
"I don't know, but I miss them." Peter says.

This last week was complete torture what with me recovering, the teachers were all giving us extra work just to make sure we were completely ready for the finals, and what with Sirius and I skipping off to the room of requirement every free minute we had, I was swamped with work.
"James." I warn, as he starts playing with my hair. Sirius then leans forward and starts to press kisses on my neck. "Sirius!" when they don't stop I spin around furiously. "I need to finish this essay!
"But we're bored." Sirius whines.
"Aww poor baby."
"Maurie!" James pleads. "Please let's go do something!" I groan and put my head in my hands.
"We graduate next week! We need to leave with a BANG!" Sirius says talking fast with his hands. My head perks up.
"You caught my interest at BANG!" He grins. "So what are we going to do?"
"Obviously something that effects the whole school." I turn around and spot Remus.
"They got you in on this too?" I ask.
"There is no way, I'd miss this. Even if it means taking a break from studying."
"True, we need to-"
"Uh!" Peter says running forward.
"What's up Pete." He bends over out of breath.
"Running from slytherins." James, Sirius, and I burst out laughing.
"Oh Peter! They're slytherins what's the worst they could do." He looks away and doesn't answer.
"Anyway I was just saying that we needed to find Peter, so we could go upstairs and plan."
"Excellent idea, and since we don't have to find our cowardly friend we can plan now!"
The rest of the night went smooth sailing with our plans for after the graduation, except for of course when we had to kick out Lily and Jade because they weren't allowed in on our idea. They huffed angrily and told us they were sneaking into hogsmeade to get drunk.
"So do you think this will work?" Peter asks nervously. I make a face at him.
"Honestly Pete, are you kidding. We're the marauders! Of course it will bloody work!
"Merlin I was just asking.." He says trailing off. James and I exchange looks and burst out laughing.
"Stop laughing guys it's not funny!" Peter yells. This makes Moony and Sirius start laughing as well.
"Well Wormy honestly-" Pads starts only to stop when the door bursts open and Lily and Jade fall down on the ground in heaps of laughter.
"What in the name of Merlin?"
Lily gets up very shakily might I add, and helps Jade. They lean on each other for support and it's then that I can tell that they're actually drunk.
"James baby." Lily cooes. She starts walking towards him again but falls, which brings on another bout of laughter from them.
"Honestly Lily. You're a bloody mess!" James yells.
"Calm down Jamsie." Jade says, which make my eye brows raise. "She's fine, we had such a nice time. I mean we were in the hogshead minding our own business when this random bloke starts buying us drinks!" I grin at them.
"A bloke bought you guys drinks?" Lily gets up and leans on Jade nodding enthusiastically "Excellent!"
"Maurie! That is not excellent. A bloke bought them drinks. They were drunk, in a bar." James yells.
Ignoring James I look to the girls, "So what did he look like?" They both start thinking very hard which causes them to laugh.
"He was extremely fit." Lily says. "Though I can't quite remember his bloody name. Do you have any idea?" She asks Jade.
"Not a clue, but agreed he was fit."
"So what did you do with this 'fit' bloke?" Remus asks angrily.
"Remus honey, you're one of the smartest people in our school but you can still be quite dense."
"I say the same thing about Lily all the time!" I say speaking up.
"Hmm, it must be something with smart people then." Jade agrees.
"Right so why was Remus dense?" Peter asks.
"Oh right!" Jade says, she lets go of Lily and drops herself onto Remus' lap. "Because why would I do something with any other bloke when I have the best bloke right here." She says giving him a kiss. He blushes scarlet and smiles.
"I have no clue why you would do that angel." She kisses him again.
"Mmm, I love you." Jade says against his lips.
"I love you too." I turn to Sirius and make a face of disgust. He nods at my face meaning he agrees with me.
"What about you Lily? Did you do anything with this fitty?" She snorts out a laugh, from where she was now sitting on James' bed.
"As if, I just wanted the free drinks." At this James, Sirius, and I exchange looks and start cracking up.
"That's my girl." James says bringing her down from the bed and kissing her.
"I wouldn't dream of being anyone else' girl." She stops and thinks before looking at Sirius and saying, "Well except for Sirius'." She winks jokingly at him.
"It's okay Lilykins I dream about you too." I smack him upside the head.
"Do you hear this Jimmy!" I say playing along.
"I hear it Maurie! And I don't like it!" He yells.
"Me either!" I yell back.
"Would you two shut up!" Remus yells. We look at him with raised eye brows he smiles and says quietly, "Jade's sleeping."
I mumble an "Oh." At the same time as Prongs.
"Well we should probably get to bed we have NEWTS tomorrow." Peter says speaking up.
"That might be the smartest thing you ever said mate." I tell him. He rolls his eyes and walks over to his bed. James picks up a now sleeping Lily and carries her to bed laying down himself.
Sirius tugs my up by the hand and we curl up on his bed. I roll over and face him.
"This is our last week here." I start out. I look down nervously as does he.
"Yeah it is."
"Are you scared?" He looks up and meets my eyes questionatly. "About joining the order?"
"A little. Aren't you?"
"Yes." I answer truthfully. With that he cracks his beautiful smile and leans forward to kiss me. Our lips meet and all my fears for the moment melt away. When he pulls back I grin and say, "As long as you keep doing that I'll be fine."
"As long as you're there with me I'll be fine." He answers back.
"Good answer." I comment.
"Thank you."
"This is just the start of a new adventure is all. I'm also a little excited too. I mean I've dreamed about joining the order since last year. I wanted to do nothing more than fight."
"Same here, but now that is came so quickly…"
"Yeah, I understand. We'll get through it."
"Together?" I smile and lean forward, my lips almost touching his.
"Together." I say before his lips crash on mine.
