The New Discoveries

Later that night
"Shh. Don't wake them up you idiot!" hissed a familiar sounding female voice to Kayla's ears. "Sorry! It's not my fault we decided to keep this quiet, now is it?" hissed another familiar sounding voice, but this one being a male, and was clearly irritated.
'Who is that?' Kayla thought, bothered by the fact that she couldn't figure out who these two people were, and she really didn't fancy the idea of getting out of the nice, warm haven of her blankets and into the frigid air of the castle just to satisfy her mind. It was just simply too cold to do so.
"What are you doing here anyways?" the mysterious female voice whispered, and was followed by the creaking sound of someone sitting on a bed. "I wanted to see if you could be as quiet as you claim you could be dearest." The male voice drawled. Kayla heard a giggle, and in response, Kayla rolled her eyes. 'I so do not want to hear this.' Kayla thought as she covered her ears with the other pillow that was not presently cradling her head.
Faint moans and groans could be heard through the many feathers and layers of cloth, and made their way to Kayla's eardrums. She groaned in frustration. 'I'm never going to be able to get back to sleep.' Her mind yelled. But regardless of her minds warnings, she tried. And to her later amazement, she succeeded.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning
Aria stretched her limbs as she slipped out of her bed, but as soon as her bare feet touched the stone floor, she swung her body back onto the bed and covered her body with the blankets. 'The floor is always too bloody cold in this place!' she thought. Aria stretched again, and winced as pain flooded through her limbs in places that have never had pain before.
Aria steeled herself, took a deep breath, and swung her legs back over the side of the bed, and despite her best efforts, yelped out loud. But, she still got out of bed, snatched up her clothes, and rushed towards the showers.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily awoke with a smile on her face by the sound of someone yelping. Lily flipped herself onto her back, and stared at the canopy, the muffled sound of the shower running in the background. 'I'm in love with James Potter, and he loves me back! Can life get any- wait. I am not going to jinx myself. Not this time.' Lily thought to herself.
She had jinxed herself so many times in her life already that she could out number how many girlfriends all of the Marauders have had put together-and that is saying a lot, considering Sirius has a new girlfriend every other day. And she rarely ever caught herself saying something that would jinx herself until it was already said. Lily's mother, Kara Evans, always said that it must be one of her hobbies, jinxing herself. 'She's probably right, and I just don't know it.' Lily mused to herself with a small smile.
Lily heard whoever was in the shower emerge, and without thinking, she leapt out of her bed, and yelped in surprise at the coldness. Aria, who turned out to be the one in the shower, laughed and shook her head.
Every morning, Lily did the same thing. She was so used to the tropic weather of Italy during the summer that she always forgot how cold it got in Scotland, and she'd fling back her covers and jump onto the freezing cold floor, and would glare at whoever happened to laugh at her idioticies. This morning didn't seem to be any different.
Lily grumpily picked up the same uniform that Aria was wearing off of her dresser- Black pin straight skirt that stopped two inches before the knee caps, sky blue and black stripped tie, a white oxford pressed shirt, and a dark gray sweater with the Ravenclaw colors on the edges (The reason that it is so hard for guys to see what a female's body looks like in the uniforms is because of the robes that they must wear over their uniforms.), and stalked off to the bathroom and slammed the door shut, and like always, woke up Kayla and Tiffany.
"Erugh. Doesn't she ever learn to just wear SOCKS to bed? Jesus, we've been here six freaking years, you'd think that idiot of a friend would learn!" Kayla moaned into her pillows.
Aria chuckled. "You know that you love her predictableness in the mornings. It's what helps make Hunter, well.Hunter." Aria shot back with a cheeriness that had Kayla glaring at her. "How can you be so bloody cheerful at." Kayla asked as she looked at the clock. "Bloody hell! 7:15 in the morning? What the hell is wrong with you people?! It's too damn early. I'm going back to bed." Kayla complained. "Oh no you're not." Aria shot back. "If you go back to bed, we'll never be able to wake you up. You can sleep like the dead in the mornings. You know that." Kayla narrowed her eyes at Aria's reflection on the mirror, but neverless, propped herself on the head board and watched Aria fumble with her tie for five minutes before she finally said, "Stupid tie!" in frustration.
Kayla sighed at her friend, and slowly walked over to where she stood and stepped in between her and the wall to do her tie. "How is it," Kayla mused out loud as she rightened the length of the tie. "That you have been wearing these repugnant things for six years now, and you still don't know how to put a tie on- in any way?" Aria shrugged her shoulders in a nonchalant way as Kayla correctly finished the tie with a flourish that Aria admired.
Kayla eyed her friend with interest as she stepped back. She looked different today. It was almost as if she.glowed. From the inside out. Her eyes had this light about them that she had never seen there before. It was almost as if she was a different person. Then, it dawned on her. The moans, the female voice. 'Oh my God! Aria had sex!'
Lily walked out of the bathroom, uniform on except for her robes and her heels and her hair swept up a ponytail like the three girls always had their hair during classes. "Tiff, you take your shower first. I'm not ready yet."
Tiffany looked over at Kayla with interest, but shrugged her shoulders dismissively, picked up her clothes, and went to take a shower. Successfully leaving Kayla, Lily, and Aria alone in the dorm room.
"Who was it?" Kayla asked, as always, being blunt with her questions. The two remaining girls' heads turned in her direction, one with confusion on their face, and the other with shock.
"What do you mean who was it? You know perfectly well that I haven't had any sex since my break up with.Alexander Cameron at the end of last year." Lily said, confused. Kayla shook her head, as if to say "I know that you idiot" and pointed at a shocked Aradriana.
Lily's jaw dropped. ' Oh my God. Aria.sex.no way!' Lily's mind screamed at her. "Oh my God." Lily managed to get out. Then, as if realizing her intelligence drop, demanded, "Who?"
Aria turned a dark shade of red before she mumbled out an answer, but even Kayla, who barely stood a foot away from her couldn't hear her, so Lily, who was sitting on her bed putting her shoes on about five feet away, defiantly couldn't hear her.
"Sorry," Lily said as she stood up. "Didn't catch the name of him the first time around." She finished as she made her way towards the other two girls and stopped before Aria.
"It was Rehemaus."
Kayla and Lily exchanged a glance, and Kayla was just about to ask again when- "OH MY GOD!! REMUS! YOU HAD-MUBPH!" Lily screamed, but was soon quieted down by the appearance of a pale hand flattened on her mouth. Lily glared at the hand, stepped back, but did in fact quiet down. "You.and Remus.how.and are you going to say anything?!" Lily demanded of Kayla, who stood there with astonishment written all over her face. While Kayla might not still be a virgin, she hasn't had nearly as many guys -which isn't that much- as Lily has, but she was still shocked to know hat the "angel" of the group had been a participant in something very naughty last night.
"How? Wait, no, I don't want to know how you did it, but how you came together." Kayla finally managed to squeak out, sounding a little bit like a mouse.
Aria looked at Kayla and then Lily and sighed. "I don't really know. Our first night- my first time- was two days ago, and he just came to me last night, and I-I-I-I couldn't say anything but yes to him." Kayla snorted, and said, "That isn't the only thing you were saying to him last night." Kayla looked at Aria and smirked. "I heard it all between you and lover boy last night." She said. She had just witnessed two of her best friends groping at each other. 'How can anybody enjoy sex?' Kayla thought to herself. Then her eyes narrowed as a afterthought crossed her mind. "He is treating you right, isn't her?" she demanded.
Aria smiled and nodded. Kayla had always been overly protective about guys when they had became lovers with Lily all the time.
While Lily didn't have many lovers, she has had quite an expansive knowledge on sex. More than Kayla or Aradriana themselves. Lily would always come in after sex, and tell them about it. The funny thing is though, she had never, not once, said that it was anything besides sex. She never used any other term for it. And she never came back with the dreamy, satisfied smile that Aria seems to have after sex. She looked as if she could just fall asleep.
'Hmm.' Aria thought. 'I'll have to ask her about that later. Now that I know what I'm talking about.' She finished with a glance towards her friend, whom was looking out the window with this dazed look in her eyes.
Tiffany came out from the bathroom, and collected her books for the day, and left them in a pile on her desk, then sat down on her bed.
Kayla went over to her part of the room, swiped up her clothes, and went into the bathroom to get ready for the day.
"Aria." Lily said. "This is just her way of dealing with all of this. She doesn't know what to do." Aria looked into her friends eyes with a grateful expression, then went back to getting ready.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What do we have today anyways?" Kayla asked. Lily thought about it, and answered with, "Charms first, Potions second, and C.o.M.C last." Aria's brow furrowed in thought. "Didn't we have potions yesterday?" she asked. Kayla shook her head and said, "No. That was Herbology that you're thinking about." Aria's mouth made an O shape, but she still looked confused. Lily and Kayla shook their heads at their friend in amusement.
As the girls walked towards their normal seats at the Ravenclaw table, the saw that the three Marauders were already in attendance. The girls walked over to them, Aria making her way on the opposite side of the table to sit next to Remus, and Lily and Kayla walking on the other side of the table. Lily sat to the left of James, and Kayla sat on the right side of Sirius.
James looked over at Lily and kissed her cheek as she sat down. "'Morning beautiful." He said as he swung his free arm around her waist and resumed eating. "'Morning." She replied as she began to pile food on her plate. At this morning exchange, the other four friends raise their eyebrows in speculation. "Is there something you'd like to tell us?" The four of them said at once.
James and Lily looked at each other with mischievous glances, and Lily answered, " As a matter of fact, yes, there is something we do want to tell you." Lily said as she took a bite of her pancakes. James was having a hard time keeping himself from grinning. ' Lily is going to hurt me for this, but it's too good to pass up.' "You see," James started. "Lils and I here, well, we're about to be parents in about eight months." James said with a solemn look.
Sirius's, Kayla's, Remus's, and Aria's eyes got as round as the plates that their food was on, and their jaws became slack with shock. This was not what they had been expecting! Lily on the other hand, wasn't shocked, but was glaring at her new boyfriend. Lily raised her right hand, a cuffed him in the back of the head. "That is not funny James!" she hissed at him, barely loud enough for the rest to hear her. When they heard this, they all exhaled in relief, and the immediately glared at the new couple.
Lily noticed this, and put her hands up to ward the glares off. "Sorry." She said, stressing the o sound. "But, we are dating as of last night." Groans of "finally" and "Thank you God" could be heard. Lily and James looked around coyly. Lily's eyes bright as emeralds, and James' sapphire eyes twinkling with merriment. "We weren't that bad, were we?" they asked innocently. Their friends shot them both looks that clearly stated, "oh yes you were" . James and Lily looked at each other sheepishly and laughed. They knew that they were probably both worse than their friends implied.
"Now, was that so hard?" Remus asked with a smirk.
Lily noticed that his arm was a little too far away from his body to be anywhere on him, and gave her own little smirk.
"No, actually it wasn't." Lily said, then grinned evilly at Remus and Aria. Aria gasped, reading Lily's intentions on her face, and narrowed her eyes at her friend.
"Now that you know that it is easy, do you have an explanation for your escapades-is that what you'd call them Pounce?" Lily asked slyly. Kayla getting interested in this play, shook her head and replied, "Oh no, I'd call it something like traveling to another world." Lily gave a light laugh, ignoring the murderous glare of Aria, and the confused one's of the boys and looked back at Remus. "Anyways," she started. "What is your explanation for being in our dorm, in the middle of the night, and making poor Aria here wake up to go on this journey to another world with you?"
What Lily was talking about must have became clear to Remus, because he was redder than a turnip.
"So," Kayla asked. "Do you guys care to tell us why this secret relationship must be kept away from your best friends?"
"Uhh.ummm.we.we.ummm." Remus said, looking at Aria pleadingly. "We just wanted to uhhh." Aria said. "Keep this to ourselves for awhile. You know, to fully savor the.new bonding that we have been sharing." James and Sirius's mouths were hanging open in shock, as they finally figured out where all of this was going, and Kayla and Lily, both who happened to be chewing at the moment, raised their eyebrows in a manner that screamed amusement.
Aria blushed crimson, just realizing what she had just said.
"It's okay Aria," Lily said as soon as she swallowed. "I just couldn't let an opportunity like this pass. You know how I am. No more teasing you about this, promise." She said. Aria gave a shy smile to Lily, and then turned to Kayla with an expectant look. "Fine then!" Kayla said in a huff when she saw her friends look. "Take the fun out of everything why don't you?" then in a softer tone, she said, "No more teasing you on this subject, Air. Promise." Aria nodded her head and gave a brilliant smile to her friends and went on eating.
James and Sirius, who seemed to have just came back to the planet called Earth, grinned devilishly at each other, then looked at Remus.
Aria, Kayla, and Lily happened to see these grins, all said, "Oh no."
Remus looked at them, then at Sirius and James, and jumped out of his chair, and after a little peck on the cheek for Aria, and a quick "See you during Charms," he fled the Great Hall.
James and Sirius took a page from Remus's book, and kissed the girls sting next to them- unfortunately for Sirius, that was Kayla, and he got elbowed in the stomach regions, and then fled the Great Hall also in search of their friends so that they could start their taunting.
The three girls all thought, "Poor Remus," finished their breakfast, picked up the boys' books and headed towards the Charms classroom.
