Song for Alison and Remus parts: Before It's Too Late(Goo Goo Dolls)
I wandered through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance, to feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes
Song for Iris and Sirius parts: Iris (Goo Goo Dolls)
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
Song for Lily and James parts: First Time (Lifehouse)
We're both looking for something
that we've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide
Looking at you,holding my breath,
For once in my life,I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,letting you inside.
"What?" Alison asked, her electric blue eyes wide with shock. Remus could tell that she was putting all the clues together in her head. How he disappeared every full moon, how weak he used to get once a month...
"I'm sorry," Remus whispered, sliding off the couch and sitting down on the floor next to her.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Alison asked. She was so shocked that she couldn't even look at him. Instead, she looked at the thick gold carpet.
"I thought that...if you knew...you wouldn't even talk to me," Remus whispered, "that's why I can't love you, Ali."
Alison didn't say anything, but Remus could see a tear glistening on her cheek. He raised his hand to wipe it off but she slapped his hand away. He tried to hold her hand, but she slapped his arm again. Then she started hitting him, every part she could reach. Remus grabbed hold of her wrists and started whispering in her ear. He was whispering reasonable things but Alison didn't care, she was furious. The one man she had ever loved...
Then Alison started to cry. Remus pulled her up and kissed her softly and Alison let him. And when he suddenly leaned in, so did she....
*
It all happened so fast that it was like a blur to both of them. Like time was flying away like a stray kite and they both ran after it like eager children.
Alison remembered the heat of their entangled bodies, the friction of the flesh, the insane pang of pain down below followed by intense pleasure. She remembered the ripping of the clothes, Remus' face hovering above hers and her cheek brushing his as they moved together. She remembered how his breath, coming in gasps, tickled her neck. She remembered the uncontrollable desire pulsing through her as Remus' lips went up and down her neck. She remembered the myriad of looks on Remus' face: Apology, embarrassment, tenderness, thrill, disbelief but mostly...hunger.
She remembered how Remus pulled his head back to look down at her, a tear leaked out of his eye and fell on to her face. She remembered how he whispered, "I'm sorry, Alison. I'm hurting you. I'm so sorry..."

"Ew,Sirius! That's disgusting!" Iris laughed. Sirius had just spat into the River Thames. He had taken her to Embankment, and after a dinner at an amazing restaurant called Giraffe, they had bought ice creams and were walking on the bridge across Thames.
"What?" Sirius asked, like he had done something normal, "Now, I'm a part of the Thames."
"You could have found a less gross way, you know," Iris chuckled, "Like this."
She raised a hand and pulled out a single hair from her scalp and threw it into the river.
"Nah...I prefer my own way," Sirius chuckled, leaning against the railing. There was a light breeze and very little snow was falling.
"You're such a boy," Iris smiled, joining him at the railing.
"Well, what am I supposed to be?" Sirius laughed and pulled her closer.
"I don't know," Iris licked her ice cream, "mmm...chocolate."
"You know, you never say 'mmm...Sirius."
Iris smacked the back of his head but this time, Sirius chuckled. Pulling her closer, he planted a kiss on her chocolate covered lips, curving his hand around her neck as she smiled against his lips, her fingers twisting in his hair.
"Every time," Sirius said when he pulled away, "every time I have chocolate, I don't think I'll be able to eat it without remembering this."

"So, where do you want to go?" James asked, as he got into one of the Hilton cars.
"Any where. As long as you're there," Lily smiled. James grinned and grabbed hold of her hand as he started to drive out of the Hilton.
"How about we drive around? See which restaurants are good?" James asked.
"Sure," Lily said. She looked at James driving and felt an odd wave of smugness take over her. James looked so amazing as he turned the steering wheel effortlessly, his gaze fixed on the road.
Suddenly, Lily leaned towards him and whispered in his ear seductively, "you look so sexy right now."
She suddenly bit his ear lobe and James let out a sound which sounded like a cross between a moan and a groan.
"Ah, don't do this to me right now. I'm driving," James said, gasping slightly.
Lily just smiled and continued to kiss his neck. James couldn't take it any more and parked into a closed down shop's parking lot. He grabbed Lily around the waist and pulled her on top of him, pulling his lips to hers.
Lily chuckled and let her fingers twist and knot in his hair. James pulled away and his lips began to trace up and down his neck.
Then, very embarrassingly, Lily's stomach grumbled.
James laughed and said, "I think I should get you some food."
Lily smiled and went back to her own seat. James pulled out of the parking lot and began to drive again.
They searched for a restaurant for hours and as a result, they ended up in embankment. There was a boat restaurant and even though they were a bit under dressed for it, they decided to have dinner there.
It was a very romantic, candle light dinner. James and Lily couldn't help laughing when they read all the names of the weird dishes. James used to think Wizard restraunts were weird...they were NOTHING compared to the muggle restaurants. Who in the name of Merlin would want to eat a pizza with squid on it???
"I'll have the blue cheese pasta," Lily said to the waitress who was giving them weird looks.
"I'll have...ew, Lily! They have a dish named after that idiot Slytherin, Crabbe!"
"He'll have the same thing as me," Lily told the waitress.
The waitress nodded and disappeared, muttering "weirdos..."
"While we wait for our dinner, will you dance with me, Miss Evans? Or shall I say Mrs Potter?"
Lily smiled and took his out stretched hand. He steered her away to the dance floor and held her close to his body as dancing in the dark began to play. There was a nice wind and there was a very very very light snow fall.
"Well, who would've thought!" James suddenly said, looking up and waving.
"What?" Lily asked, turning around to see what he was waving at. Then she saw Iris and Sirius on the bridge, laughing at both her and James. Lily grinned and turned back to James.
"So..." Lily said, smiling up at James as he moved her around on the dance floor effortlessly, "how was Remus able to make it?"
"What do you mean?" James asked with a confused look.
"Honestly, James. Do you really think I don't know what Remus really is?"
James stopped moving her around, so shocked that he could barely lift a finger, "does Alison know?"
"No. Iris and I decided it was best not to tell her," Lily said.
"How long have you known?" James asked, a lump in his throat.
"Since last month. Iris and I worked it out. It's pretty obvious, you know," Lily said thoughtfully.
"And....you're not afraid of him?"
"Of course not! He's my best friend!"
"Even though he's a werewolf?"
"Of course! I would never stop being his friend, even if he was a flobber worm disguised as a human," Lily said in a tone that sounded like James had insulted her.
James looked down at Lily, into her earnest emerald eyes and the beautiful exquisite face that he had so intensely fallen in love with and whisperes, "you're amazing, you know that?"
Lily smiled warmly at James and kissed his lips passionately. Couples all around them were dancing and moving to the music, while they stayed there on the dance floor, enjoying this perfect moment.
When James pulled away, they went back to their table where they were served a delicious dinner. Even James had to admit, Muggles were good at cooking.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey, guys," James said. He and Lily had just dropped off the borrowed car and had met Iris and Sirius in the hall.
"Hey," Iris said, with a dreamy look in her eyes and a foolish smile on her face.
"Er...Sirius, what did you do to her?" Lily asked, snapping her fingers in front of Iris' eyes.
"Nothing, I swear," Sirius chuckled, looking down at Iris.
"I'm okay," Iris said, still wearing that ridiculous smile.
"Iris is so cute," James laughed. They all stepped into the elevator and went up to their special suite. Opening the doors, all of them were ready to just collapse on their sheets and go to sleep.
"Good night, Lily. Good night, James," Sirius yawned, going into the room. Iris had already jumped on the bed and fallen asleep, curled up in a ball. Sirius went and curved himself around her, pulling her to his chest. Iris smiled and turned off the light and closed the door with a swish of his wand.
"Good night, Lily," James kissed her forehead and went to his room. Lily stared after him for a second. How could this have happened? Just a year ago, if James had kissed her for head, she would have probably beat him up. And now...
James had saved Lily. If he hadn't come in to her life, she might have become a cold rock who wouldn't allow anything to get to her.
She was in love and it was the best feeling in the world.
Lily pushed open the door a tiny bit and saw something that made her drop her bag.
Remus and Alison.
In bed.
Asleep.
Naked.
"Holy Mother of...my eyes!" Lily muttered under her breath. She closed the door quietly, her mouth still open with shock.
Alison.
Alison.
The innocent, naive, child like best friend...
Lily sat down on the couch and put a hand on her stomach. She didn't know why she was acting like this. Maybe it was because this was so unexpected. Every one thought that Sirius and Iris would be the ones to have sex first. Never Alison and Remus. They were the least expected.
It was always Sirius and Iris. They were the crazy ones, the out of control, insane, funny, so in love couple. Every one expected them to be the ones with Sirius being Sirius and Iris being Iris.
It was never Remus and Alison. With Alison being so child like and Remus being so wise...
Lily got up and went to James' room. The lights were out and she could make out his body, wrapped in the gold sheets. She went over to the bed and got in beside him.
"Wha- Lily?" James asked gruffly.
"Mm..go to sleep," Lily said, snaking her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest.
"Are you okay?" James asked, half asleep, stroking Lily's hair and pressing his cheek to it.
"Yeah. James?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you too, my Lily."
Bet you didn't expect that, did you? All of you thought Sirius and Iris would do it and guess who ended up being the first ones! I know, Remus and Alison! You never expected them because they're the least...insane out of all of them. Sirius and Iris are the craziest, then Lily and James (at least they have limits!) and THEN Remus and Alison!
Let me make this clear: Sirius and Iris haven't done it yet!!! Neither have James and Lily.
Iris Black: I know! That's what I love about Iris' character! She can go from one thing to another and leave a person wanting so much more!
BTW, I have some really cute moments planned in my head for each couple. So tell me, which one do you want in the next chapter?
Lily and James? Iris and Sirius? Alison and Remus?
This chapter is dedicated to Iris Black , KT , Amy K and TwistedLittleMe (aw! It's okay if you don't review a chapter! ;)
