^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = James' Dream
~*~********************~*~
That dream that James had stuck with him most of the following day, and as much as he wanted to get rid of the thought, the other dream plagued him as well. All these nightmares were only caused by the fact that Sirius wasn't there with him, by his side. James wanted badly for Sirius to return, but as hard as he wished it, it didn't come any sooner. Remus and Peter had helped him through a lot of it, but in some ways, James was growing stronger. He handled some of it better than he had others, but now that the last few nights passed, he had been dreamless, or rather, nightmare-less.
James was swamped with homework, and since Remus and Peter had gone off to study at the library, James was alone, but he wanted it that way. He hadn't had much a moment's peace since this whole ordeal. All his professors, discluding Professor Avalade, of course, had lightened his homework load, and every day James recorded down what had happened so when Sirius returned, he could give it all to him. Though Dumbledore tried his best, Sirius was still accounted for all the homework they had.
Even though dinner had just passed, James was still kind of hungry. He didn't eat much earlier, but he wasn't feeling too well. The past day or two he felt a little nauseated, as well as hotter than usual. He refused to think he was getting sick, but when the full moon arrived earlier on in the week, accompanied by Remus' transformation, they all had to make way to the Shrieking Shack with rain drenching them along the way. James came back to the school wetter than he did during Quidditch practice, at times.
Thoughts were bubbling still in James' head about the dreams he had, but along with those came the joy and rapture of what was to happen tomorrow: Sirius' return. The earlier this night ended, the earlier James could be up and the earlier he'd see Sirius. It was hard to believe that the week he had gone through had been so hard, but it was paying off, in a way. With Sirius' return meant, hopefully, the end of the nightmares and sleepless nights. Running on less than 24 hours of sleep during the whole week was not one of James' strong points.
Peering down at his watch he adorned, James noticed the time was earlier than he believed. Much earlier. Would this day not end and let the next one come? James finished up the last few sentences of his Herbology paper as best he could, but the thoughts within his head were clouding his judgement. He dropped the quill after finally finishing it up, dropping his head back toward his pillow with a soft sigh.
"Why can't this day just end?"
James wasn't expecting much of a response to that, simply because no one was around. It was an empty question, in his opinion. His homework was scattered around him, some books open, some closed with paper feeding out of it, but James didn't really care; at least he finished it. His ears perked a bit as he heard steps coming down the hall, and as he sat up, he leaned his head in toward the door's direction. As he saw the shadow growing taller in the light, he knew who it was.
"Hey Danny," he stated.
Though the other boy was out by the door across the room, he heard James, acknowledging the other with a nod. He slid across the middle of the room, arriving at James' bed.
"Hey James. Drowning in homework, I see?"
James shook his head with a small chuckle. "Just finished, actually."
"Lucky you. I had to help Alex with some of his. He's off with his other friends."
"Really? He's not with you for once. That's rare."
"Well...Yes, it is, but hey, I enjoy the peace."
"How can you handle having him do that to you on a daily basis?" James scratched his head, pulling off his glasses to rub his eyes.
"We're friends, James. You know, friends hang out and such." Danny laughed lightly.
"Oh, well, of course. But..."
"I know what you're probably thinking."
"Oh?"
"Yes. And yes."
James' ears perked a bit and he nodded his head knowingly. "Thought as much."
Danny blushed very lightly, turning his head away for a moment. "Well...Anyway. Isn't Sirius supposed to be coming back tomorrow?"
"Ah, well, yeah. Nice subject change, Danny."
"You know me; I'm good at what I do." As he looked back at James, he yawned a little.
"Oh yes indeed. But yes, Sirius is supposed to be coming back tomorrow. I'm standing on pins and needles here...I was about to try and sleep, but I'm..." James paused, looking down toward the bed.
"You what, James?" Danny leaned in a little, his eyes trying to catch James'.
"I've been having these...odd dreams. Recurring ones. I've had these dream where...I'm the one at home, and my parents...They were so...-angry-..."
"Really? Doesn't sound wonderfully fun."
James shook his head. "No, it hasn't been. But I suppose that since Sirius isn't here, that's why I've been having them."
Danny was known for being a little...dense. He wasn't exactly getting it, though he tried. "What's going on between you two?"
James peered up into Danny's eyes and cocked his head just slightly, a small, but apparent sigh escaping him.
"Oh...I see. I get it now...Makes sense!" Danny smacked one of his hands into the palm of the other, a smile on his face.
"Very nice, Danny."
"Do Peter and Remus know?" Another dense question.
"Yes."
"I should have figured."
"What about you? Anybody know...?" James trailed off.
"Oh...Um, right now, just you."
"Really? Well, I feel priveleged and special." James smiled sincerely.
Danny chuckled softly. "You should."
James released a small yawn, stretching out his arms. He was getting kind of tired, which was good. Like he had said, the earlier he got to bed, the earlier he could get up. Danny followed suit.
"Danny, how long have you and Alex..." He left it off at that.
"Oh...Umm...A month, I believe? Yes...A month...Tomorrow, actually."
"Hmm...Well, do you and Alex want to go with me when I wait for Sirius tomorrow?"
Danny shook his head. "No no...Don't want to intrude on a happy reunion."
James leaned forward, setting his head in Danny's lap. Though Danny wasn't expecting this, he didn't object. They were friends, after all. James turned his head to where he could look up to the darker skinned boy, and with a sigh, he ran a hand through his own hair.
"Ah, I don't think Sirius would mind. You're our friends, after all."
"Correction: Your friend. Sirius doesn't much like Alex."
"Well, he likes you, doesn't he?"
"I suppose..." Danny blinked a few times, tilting his head to the side. "Well...Yes. He hasn't said anything elsewise against me."
"I don't think he would."
"I still have to decline though, James. Your happy little reunion, my little anniversary. If I know Alex, he'll make this a big deal since it's a first month anniversary, so...I've got to noddle off with him tomorrow to Hogsmeade."
"Hogsmeade!" James shot upward, smacking a hand to his forehead.
Danny was a little freaked by James' sudden movement, his heart skipping a beat. Once James released an angry groan, he set his head back in Danny's lap.
"I forgot the Hogsmeade trip was tomorrow..."
"Well, when is Sirius coming back in?"
There rose a confused sigh from within James. "I...I think early morn...Somewhere around 9 or so..."
"Well, the trip isn't until 12, if I remember right. Since it's on a Sunday and everything, they're letting students sleep in for once. At least no annoying first and second years will be there?"
James nodded. "Yeah, I guess...But isn't this a coincidence...Do you think...?" He trailed off for a moment ,scratching his head.
"What, James?" Danny was sort of tired of James' constant trailing off. Was it possible for him to finish a thought?
"I think...Dumbledore set it all up...I mean...You know, Sirius is gone for a week, but he comes back on a Sunday, as well as the whole Hogsmeade trip...I think he planned it this way."
"Who knows," Danny began, "Dumbledore's like that sometimes."
James nodded with a smile. "Yep yep. But...It's just weird how he does that sometimes..."
Danny nodded in agreement. He idly ran a hand through James' hair, affectionately, but in more of a friendly type way. James closed his eyes and sighed softly, his hands set on his chest.
"I wish today would turn to tomorrow..."
Danny chuckled, his hand stopping for a moment. "I know...Hogsmeade will be fun, and you'll get to be with Sirius, I'll be with Alex; all will be right with the world."
James joined in the chuckle, opening his eyes. "Yeah...Want to see the letter Sirius sent to me today?"
Danny nodded with a soft smile. "Sure."
James shuffled up for a moment and retrieved the letter, and once he layed his head back in Danny's lap, he began to read it:
"Dear James~
Today's been hell, honestly. I woke up late and my parents got angry with me, and they told me I had to do a few chores for them before I would be able to return tomorrow morning. I can't wait until I'm with you again. I really, really miss you...I had a dream about you last night. We were sitting outside, near the lake, you in my arms. I leaned down to kiss you, and when I caught your lips we were caught by Professor McGonagall. How weird? Well, it gets weirder. You know Danny and Alex? Those two boys you're friends with? They were there...It's an odd question, but are they going out? Because in my dream they were...Anyways...After we were caught, McGonagall told us that we better get inside if we're to do that, that we don't want to catch cold...Very strange. But anyway...When we went back inside...I began to kiss you as I carried you up to the dormitory, and your hands were very busy...When we finally got upstairs, I layed you on your bed and you pulled me next to you, and there we slept...Until I woke up. I...James, I know I told you when I left but...I just wanted you to know that...
I love you.
~Sirius"
"Oh, that's so sweet!" Danny stated, his eyes softened and his lip trembling a bit.
"You're not going to cry, are you?" James asked.
"Not at all...I'm just...Touched." Danny stayed silent after that.
There hung a soft veil of silence over the two boys as Danny ran his hair through James' hair, but after a couple minutes later, Danny broke it.
"So, how long have you been with Sirius?"
"To tell you the truth, not too long...I believe not even two weeks..."
"Really? Have you...You know."
James blushed furiously, but he couldn't lie now, Danny would know. He squealed out lightly and hid his face, a light laughter following from the other boy.
"I'll take that as a yes. But um...What about Lily and all? What happened there?"
"Really? I...It's hard to explain I guess...Give me a moment..."
Danny nodded accordingly, his hand still idly running through James' hair.
"Well, I was supposed to meet with Lily in the Great Hall and all about a week ago, and when I got there, she was speaking with this....Slytherin boy. I got...jealous and everything, and being the way I am...I became really upset. She accused me of being jealous, which I was, and ran off. I tried to find her and everything, but I just ended up getting lost...Sirius helped me a lot, and while he helped me....we just sort of clicked...He told me to go after Lily, and I did. We made up, but it wasn't the same...When I was doused with this love potion or something by Snape, at least that's what Remus told me, I became Snape's little slave, and Lily found out about me and Sirius...We broke up on the spot..."
Danny's eyes were widened somewhat as the story unfolded, almost in slight doubt as to what happened. "I knew something wasn't right with you during that class."
"Well, at least now you know."
Danny smiled with a small nod, his eyes gazing off into the distance for a moment. He released a soft sigh, his hand stopping in midst of running through James' hair. "Seems kind of surreal if you ask me."
James looked up at Danny, the other boy lowering his eyes to James' sight. "I never thought about it that way."
"Hmm...Well, if you think about it. It kind of happened fast, and from what I'm guessing, I think Sirius felt this way about you before this happened. What made you change your mind?"
"Wasn't expecting that kind of question," James sighed, "but truthfully...? I don't know...I just...Well, I guess that I always cared for Sirius, but while the time he took care of me, or so I believe, I'm thinking is when it all came about..."
Danny nodded lightly. "Well, makes sense. He felt a small yawn crawling up from inside him, and once he released it, he wrinkled his nose. "What time is it?" he asked.
"Um...Somewhere around ... Seven, I believe."
"Ack...I've got to go meet Alex for a study session. He's really great in Potions...And I'm not. Heh heh. You know as much. You don't mind if I leave you?"
"No no, go ahead, you've got plans." James smiled. "I'll be fine on my own."
Danny slowly pulled off of the bed, James' head falling to the softened surface. "I'll see you tomorrow." Waving, Danny walked out of the dormitory.
"See you tomorrow." As soon as Danny had left the room, James sighed lightly. He picked up his books that layed around his bed, setting them inside his trunk. The day was coming to a closer end, but since it was still a bit early, James lied back on the bed, folding his arms beneath his head. Thoughts came back into his head as he lied there, but most of them were about the first time he met Sirius, as well as when he met Remus and Peter. That thought alone was enough to perk up James' mood, and within moments, he had closed his eyes and fallen into a light sleep.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"James? James, wake up!"
There was no answer. James was fast asleep, curled up in the bed among all the sheets. He felt a hand on his shoulder, shaking him, and the motion made him groan out lightly.
"James, come on, wake up!"
James smacked his lips together with a yawn, rolling over. His eyes flickered open for a moment, only to reveal the form of Sirius. He was hovering over James, looking into his eyes. With a couple of blinks, James raised a hand to his eyes.
"Sirius? Is that...Actually you?"
"Yes, James it is. Today's March 30th, and I'm back for sure."
"But...It's not even..." James reached for his glasses lying on his nightstand, and slipping them on, he turned to look at his watch. "Oh my god, it's past 10! I-I slept in!"
"James, shh, calm down." Sirius sat down beside the newly panicking boy, setting a hand on his shoulder. "James, don't worry about it. I'm here, with you, and that's all that matters."
James leaned himself against Sirius' chest, curling up to the boy's warmth. He sighed weakly, his eyes raising to look into the older one's. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you arrived..."
"Don't worry your pretty little head over it." Sirius kissed the top of James' matted, messy hair with a soft smile, his arms wrapped around the younger boy. "I'm here, so...I heard from Danny about some trip to Hogsmeade?"
"Yeah, there's a trip today...But...I don't think it's for another bit of time..."
"That Danny is something else, isn't he?"
"He's a great friend, yes. I'm happy to see you're becoming better friends with my other friends." James smiled and caught Sirius' lips in a soft kiss.
After he broke from James' lips, Sirius nodded. "Oh I made a very concious effort to do so. In fact...Danny?" His voice raised when he said the boy's name.
As if on cue, Danny slid through the door, clad in nothing but a tight fitting pair of underwear. James released a rather surprised sound, his head leaning toward his friend in a bit of disbelief.
"Danny, what ARE you wearing? The trip to Hogsmeade is in less than 2 hours!"
"Calm down, James. That gives us plenty of time."
"For what?"
Sirius chuckled softly, one of his arms reaching out invitingly to Danny. As the darker skinned boy moved forward, James began to feel a bit weirded out. He blinked a few times once he noticed Danny crawling into the grasp of Sirius. Backing away slowly, James curled up, knees huddled to his chest as he saw Danny and Sirius begin to kiss. The sheer sight of it was enough to make James sick, but it didn't stop there. Sirius began to caress Danny's body, the darker one doing just the same with Sirius. He removed his robes, kissing down the nape of his neck, all the down to his chest. James cried out, not sure he could take anymore, dashing himself out of the dormitory and down the steps.
There was a loud gasp that escaped him as he saw what he did. Remus and Peter were making out on the couch near the fireplace. Across the room, Lily and the Slytherin boy. As James' eyes shot toward the middle of the Common Room, he saw Alex walking toward him.
"Ah, James, there you are. Ready?"
"R-Ready for w-what!" James stuttered, trying his best not to collapse on the floor from the confusion. "I...My lord..." James closed his eyes tightly shut.
He felt a soft hand on his shoulder, and as he opened his eyes, he saw every single male friend of his hovering over him - Naked.
"James..." Sirius called, "You're going to enjoy this..." He felt Sirius' hand crawling up his back.
"Just give into it, James...Let your pleasure come to you..." Danny's words echoed through James' ears.
"Come on, James..." There rang Alex's voice. Scarier than life itself.
"You'll love it James..." Both Remus and Peter's voices made themselves known, their bodies moving in closer now, as well as those of the other males around him.
"Go away!" James cried, burying his face in his knees. What in the hell was happening? Why was it happening? James didn't know.
All the bodies of the other boy's moved in closer, James' body tensing up tightly, his knuckles turning white. He felt all the hands touching him, and as soon as he looked up, he blacked out.

Running on less than 24 hours of sleep during the whole week was not one of James' strong points.

"Lucky you. I had to help Alex with some of his. He's off with his other friends."
"Really? He's not with you for once. That's rare."
"Well...Yes, it is, but hey, I enjoy the peace."
"How can you handle having him do that to you on a daily basis?" James scratched his head, pulling off his glasses to rub his eyes.
"We're friends, James. You know, friends hang out and such." Danny laughed lightly.
"Oh, well, of course. But..."
"I know what you're probably thinking."
"Oh?"
"Yes. And yes."
James' ears perked a bit and he nodded his head knowingly. "Thought as much."
Danny blushed very lightly, turning his head away for a moment. "Well...Anyway. Isn't Sirius supposed to be coming back tomorrow?"
"Ah, well, yeah. Nice subject change, Danny."
"You know me; I'm good at what I do." As he looked back at James, he yawned a little.
"Oh yes indeed. But yes, Sirius is supposed to be coming back tomorrow. I'm standing on pins and needles here...I was about to try and sleep, but I'm..." James paused, looking down toward the bed.
"You what, James?" Danny leaned in a little, his eyes trying to catch James'.
"I've been having these...odd dreams. Recurring ones. I've had these dream where...I'm the one at home, and my parents...They were so...-angry-..."
"Really? Doesn't sound wonderfully fun."
James shook his head. "No, it hasn't been. But I suppose that since Sirius isn't here, that's why I've been having them."
Danny was known for being a little...dense. He wasn't exactly getting it, though he tried. "What's going on between you two?"
James peered up into Danny's eyes and cocked his head just slightly, a small, but apparent sigh escaping him.
"Oh...I see. I get it now...Makes sense!" Danny smacked one of his hands into the palm of the other, a smile on his face.
"Very nice, Danny."
"Do Peter and Remus know?" Another dense question.
"Yes."
"I should have figured."
"What about you? Anybody know...?" James trailed off.
"Oh...Um, right now, just you."
"Really? Well, I feel priveleged and special." James smiled sincerely.
Danny chuckled softly. "You should."
James released a small yawn, stretching out his arms. He was getting kind of tired, which was good. Like he had said, the earlier he got to bed, the earlier he could get up. Danny followed suit.
"Danny, how long have you and Alex..." He left it off at that.
"Oh...Umm...A month, I believe? Yes...A month...Tomorrow, actually."
"Hmm...Well, do you and Alex want to go with me when I wait for Sirius tomorrow?"
Danny shook his head. "No no...Don't want to intrude on a happy reunion."
James leaned forward, setting his head in Danny's lap. Though Danny wasn't expecting this, he didn't object. They were friends, after all. James turned his head to where he could look up to the darker skinned boy, and with a sigh, he ran a hand through his own hair.

"Well, he likes you, doesn't he?"
"I suppose..." Danny blinked a few times, tilting his head to the side. "Well...Yes. He hasn't said anything elsewise against me."
"I don't think he would."
"I still have to decline though, James. Your happy little reunion, my little anniversary. If I know Alex, he'll make this a big deal since it's a first month anniversary, so...I've got to noddle off with him tomorrow to Hogsmeade."
"Hogsmeade!" James shot upward, smacking a hand to his forehead.
Danny was a little freaked by James' sudden movement, his heart skipping a beat. Once James released an angry groan, he set his head back in Danny's lap.
"I forgot the Hogsmeade trip was tomorrow..."
"Well, when is Sirius coming back in?"
There rose a confused sigh from within James. "I...I think early morn...Somewhere around 9 or so..."
"Well, the trip isn't until 12, if I remember right. Since it's on a Sunday and everything, they're letting students sleep in for once. At least no annoying first and second years will be there?"
James nodded. "Yeah, I guess...But isn't this a coincidence...Do you think...?" He trailed off for a moment ,scratching his head.
"What, James?" Danny was sort of tired of James' constant trailing off. Was it possible for him to finish a thought?
"I think...Dumbledore set it all up...I mean...You know, Sirius is gone for a week, but he comes back on a Sunday, as well as the whole Hogsmeade trip...I think he planned it this way."
"Who knows," Danny began, "Dumbledore's like that sometimes."
James nodded with a smile. "Yep yep. But...It's just weird how he does that sometimes..."
Danny nodded in agreement. He idly ran a hand through James' hair, affectionately, but in more of a friendly type way. James closed his eyes and sighed softly, his hands set on his chest.
"I wish today would turn to tomorrow..."
Danny chuckled, his hand stopping for a moment. "I know...Hogsmeade will be fun, and you'll get to be with Sirius, I'll be with Alex; all will be right with the world."
James joined in the chuckle, opening his eyes. "Yeah...Want to see the letter Sirius sent to me today?"
Danny nodded with a soft smile. "Sure."
James shuffled up for a moment and retrieved the letter, and once he layed his head back in Danny's lap, he began to read it:
"Dear James~
Today's been hell, honestly. I woke up late and my parents got angry with me, and they told me I had to do a few chores for them before I would be able to return tomorrow morning. I can't wait until I'm with you again. I really, really miss you...I had a dream about you last night. We were sitting outside, near the lake, you in my arms. I leaned down to kiss you, and when I caught your lips we were caught by Professor McGonagall. How weird? Well, it gets weirder. You know Danny and Alex? Those two boys you're friends with? They were there...It's an odd question, but are they going out? Because in my dream they were...Anyways...After we were caught, McGonagall told us that we better get inside if we're to do that, that we don't want to catch cold...Very strange. But anyway...When we went back inside...I began to kiss you as I carried you up to the dormitory, and your hands were very busy...When we finally got upstairs, I layed you on your bed and you pulled me next to you, and there we slept...Until I woke up. I...James, I know I told you when I left but...I just wanted you to know that...
I love you.
~Sirius"
"Oh, that's so sweet!" Danny stated, his eyes softened and his lip trembling a bit.
"You're not going to cry, are you?" James asked.
"Not at all...I'm just...Touched." Danny stayed silent after that.
There hung a soft veil of silence over the two boys as Danny ran his hair through James' hair, but after a couple minutes later, Danny broke it.
"So, how long have you been with Sirius?"
"To tell you the truth, not too long...I believe not even two weeks..."
"Really? Have you...You know."
James blushed furiously, but he couldn't lie now, Danny would know. He squealed out lightly and hid his face, a light laughter following from the other boy.
"I'll take that as a yes. But um...What about Lily and all? What happened there?"
"Really? I...It's hard to explain I guess...Give me a moment..."
Danny nodded accordingly, his hand still idly running through James' hair.
"Well, I was supposed to meet with Lily in the Great Hall and all about a week ago, and when I got there, she was speaking with this....Slytherin boy. I got...jealous and everything, and being the way I am...I became really upset. She accused me of being jealous, which I was, and ran off. I tried to find her and everything, but I just ended up getting lost...Sirius helped me a lot, and while he helped me....we just sort of clicked...He told me to go after Lily, and I did. We made up, but it wasn't the same...When I was doused with this love potion or something by Snape, at least that's what Remus told me, I became Snape's little slave, and Lily found out about me and Sirius...We broke up on the spot..."
Danny's eyes were widened somewhat as the story unfolded, almost in slight doubt as to what happened. "I knew something wasn't right with you during that class."
"Well, at least now you know."
Danny smiled with a small nod, his eyes gazing off into the distance for a moment. He released a soft sigh, his hand stopping in midst of running through James' hair. "Seems kind of surreal if you ask me."
James looked up at Danny, the other boy lowering his eyes to James' sight. "I never thought about it that way."
"Hmm...Well, if you think about it. It kind of happened fast, and from what I'm guessing, I think Sirius felt this way about you before this happened. What made you change your mind?"
"Wasn't expecting that kind of question," James sighed, "but truthfully...? I don't know...I just...Well, I guess that I always cared for Sirius, but while the time he took care of me, or so I believe, I'm thinking is when it all came about..."
Danny nodded lightly. "Well, makes sense. He felt a small yawn crawling up from inside him, and once he released it, he wrinkled his nose. "What time is it?" he asked.
"Um...Somewhere around ... Seven, I believe."
"Ack...I've got to go meet Alex for a study session. He's really great in Potions...And I'm not. Heh heh. You know as much. You don't mind if I leave you?"
"No no, go ahead, you've got plans." James smiled. "I'll be fine on my own."
Danny slowly pulled off of the bed, James' head falling to the softened surface. "I'll see you tomorrow." Waving, Danny walked out of the dormitory.
"See you tomorrow." As soon as Danny had left the room, James sighed lightly. He picked up his books that layed around his bed, setting them inside his trunk. The day was coming to a closer end, but since it was still a bit early, James lied back on the bed, folding his arms beneath his head. Thoughts came back into his head as he lied there, but most of them were about the first time he met Sirius, as well as when he met Remus and Peter. That thought alone was enough to perk up James' mood, and within moments, he had closed his eyes and fallen into a light sleep.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"James? James, wake up!"
There was no answer. James was fast asleep, curled up in the bed among all the sheets. He felt a hand on his shoulder, shaking him, and the motion made him groan out lightly.
"James, come on, wake up!"
James smacked his lips together with a yawn, rolling over. His eyes flickered open for a moment, only to reveal the form of Sirius. He was hovering over James, looking into his eyes. With a couple of blinks, James raised a hand to his eyes.
"Sirius? Is that...Actually you?"
"Yes, James it is. Today's March 30th, and I'm back for sure."
"But...It's not even..." James reached for his glasses lying on his nightstand, and slipping them on, he turned to look at his watch. "Oh my god, it's past 10! I-I slept in!"
"James, shh, calm down." Sirius sat down beside the newly panicking boy, setting a hand on his shoulder. "James, don't worry about it. I'm here, with you, and that's all that matters."
James leaned himself against Sirius' chest, curling up to the boy's warmth. He sighed weakly, his eyes raising to look into the older one's. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you arrived..."
"Don't worry your pretty little head over it." Sirius kissed the top of James' matted, messy hair with a soft smile, his arms wrapped around the younger boy. "I'm here, so...I heard from Danny about some trip to Hogsmeade?"
"Yeah, there's a trip today...But...I don't think it's for another bit of time..."
"That Danny is something else, isn't he?"
"He's a great friend, yes. I'm happy to see you're becoming better friends with my other friends." James smiled and caught Sirius' lips in a soft kiss.
After he broke from James' lips, Sirius nodded. "Oh I made a very concious effort to do so. In fact...Danny?" His voice raised when he said the boy's name.
As if on cue, Danny slid through the door, clad in nothing but a tight fitting pair of underwear. James released a rather surprised sound, his head leaning toward his friend in a bit of disbelief.
"Danny, what ARE you wearing? The trip to Hogsmeade is in less than 2 hours!"
"Calm down, James. That gives us plenty of time."
"For what?"
Sirius chuckled softly, one of his arms reaching out invitingly to Danny. As the darker skinned boy moved forward, James began to feel a bit weirded out. He blinked a few times once he noticed Danny crawling into the grasp of Sirius. Backing away slowly, James curled up, knees huddled to his chest as he saw Danny and Sirius begin to kiss. The sheer sight of it was enough to make James sick, but it didn't stop there. Sirius began to caress Danny's body, the darker one doing just the same with Sirius. He removed his robes, kissing down the nape of his neck, all the down to his chest. James cried out, not sure he could take anymore, dashing himself out of the dormitory and down the steps.
There was a loud gasp that escaped him as he saw what he did. Remus and Peter were making out on the couch near the fireplace. Across the room, Lily and the Slytherin boy. As James' eyes shot toward the middle of the Common Room, he saw Alex walking toward him.
"Ah, James, there you are. Ready?"
"R-Ready for w-what!" James stuttered, trying his best not to collapse on the floor from the confusion. "I...My lord..." James closed his eyes tightly shut.
He felt a soft hand on his shoulder, and as he opened his eyes, he saw every single male friend of his hovering over him - Naked.
"James..." Sirius called, "You're going to enjoy this..." He felt Sirius' hand crawling up his back.
"Just give into it, James...Let your pleasure come to you..." Danny's words echoed through James' ears.
"Come on, James..." There rang Alex's voice. Scarier than life itself.
"You'll love it James..." Both Remus and Peter's voices made themselves known, their bodies moving in closer now, as well as those of the other males around him.
"Go away!" James cried, burying his face in his knees. What in the hell was happening? Why was it happening? James didn't know.
All the bodies of the other boy's moved in closer, James' body tensing up tightly, his knuckles turning white. He felt all the hands touching him, and as soon as he looked up, he blacked out.
