Sirius peeked his head around the corner, and almost fell over when he saw James and Lily. Although he'd expected the fight to be over by now, he certainly hadn't expected this. Lily and James...kissing. It was all too bizarre. He might tease them as the most "married" couple he knew, but to actually have them together? Oh, no, now they were going to get all mushy, and wrapped up in each other, and...and...*cute*. Just then.....

"Ow! James!"

"Mmmm?"

"You bit me!!"

"I didn't!"

"You did! Idiot. You don't *bite* people when you kiss them."

"Thank you, oh fountain of knowledge. I knew that actually."

"Well, obviously you need to work on applying that knowledge....look, you drew blood!"

"I thought you were tasting kind of salty."

"So you're some kind of vampire now, drinking my blood? That's gross."

"Well, if it was so terrible....."

"Stupid little boy."

"Stupid? I'm stupid? And who are you calling little boy? Need I remind you that I'm both older *and* taller than you? Show some respect for your elders!"

"My *elders*??? James, you're my 'elder' by a week."

"That counts."

"It doesn't. And you're not *that* much taller, either."

"Four inches!!"

"Yes, but I'm tall for women, and you're short for men."

"Still taller than you."

"Pathetic comeback from a pathetic little runt"

"You're evil, you know that?"

"I'm not"

"You are."

"Not entirely. I haven't stolen any souls or anything lately."

"I wouldn't put it past you"

"I only accept souls which are freely given. And anyway, what would I do with it once I had it?"

"Eat it?"

"Oh, that's *lovely*, James Potter. I certainly wouldn't want yours."

"Too bad. It's a lovely soul. Nutmeg flavored."

"You have a nutmeg flavored soul?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I don't know...it's oddly appropriate, though. What would I be?"

"Hmmm....lemon Napoleons."

"Lemon Napoleons?"

"Yes. They start off hard and sour......"

"Hey! James!"

"If I may continue? But then when you get to the middle, they're all gooey and sweet."

"Gooey and....ooh...."

"Glad we've agreed. Now, if we could possibly...?"

"If we could possibly....? Oh. You won't bite me again?"

"Well, I do really like lemon Napoleons......."

"Idiot."

Sirius smiled. They may be more than just friends to each other, but they were definitely still James and Lily.

A/N--Because things continue to happen....(and Kim, I'm sorry Sirius doesn't play a bigger role in this. I haven't seen the person I'm modeling him on in almost three weeks, so I've run out of "him" kind of things to put. I promise as soon as I see him he'll have a bigger part.)
