Chapter 6, Caught

An hour and a half later they got up and walked to the castle to have lunch, after they'd eaten they spent the rest of the day kissing, playing chess, kissing, playing Exploding Snap and kissing some more. Dinner began rather late at half past eight because Peeves couldn't seem to get it out of his head that food wasn't to be thrown with. After dinner they both changed into their pyjamas rather early because they were both very tired, kissed goodnight and went to bed.

Lily had a nightmare, she didn't know what she'd been dreaming, but she felt terrified.

(A/N, No, I'm not going to make her predict her own death, too bad ;-p It's just your plain regular old nightmare.)

She looked at her clock; she'd been only been asleep for an hour, she wondered if James was still awake. She snuck out of her dorm and quietly walked to his. When she opened the door she saw him at once, he was lying on his back, legs crossed, arms folded under his head, staring at the ceiling but seeing something else.

'James?'

He turned around, saw her and smiled, 'Yeah?'

'Can I sleep with you?'

His smile broadened, 'Sure' he flipped over the covers and patted beside him.

She quickly moved over and crawled in beside him, pulling the covers over them both. 'I had a nightmare.' She said, shivering and snuggling closer.

He played a bit with her hair then murmured, 'Try to sleep Lil, we're together now.' And so she did, a few moments later he fell asleep as well.

He woke up to a whispered conversation, he kept his eyes closed and tried to fall asleep again but it didn't work, they were talking to loud, he listened.

'Sirius, over here! Would you look at this?'

He heard footsteps then someone trying and failing to stifle his laughter.

'Oh God, I've got to get a photo of this.'

He sat up quickly but too late, 'click'. He got out of bed.

Sirius and Remus were a bit disappointed to see he still had his pyjama bottoms on but began to laugh hysterically at the look on his face anyway.

'Sirius, hand over that photo right now.'

'No way hozay.'

Lily woke up. She looked at Remus who was still laughing his head of, at James who was looking embarrassed, furious and outraged at the same time and then at Sirius and the picture in his hand. 'OH NO!' She jumped out of bed.

Sirius and Remus quickly covered their eyes. That was all James needed, he snatched the photo out of Sirius' hand and tore it into shreds.

'Hey, no fair, she's not even naked!' Sirius exclaimed, peeking through his fingers.

Lily grabbed James's pillow and hit him with it. 'Idiot.'

'Temper Lily, temper. Tell me James, does she act like this in bed too?'

Lily flushed a deep crimson, James groaned, 'Sirius, would you just shut up!'

Lily looked around, 'I think I'll go now, I'll see you guys at breakfast.'

Remus looked at her strangely, 'Uhm Lily, it's one in the afternoon, if you hurry, you'll be in time for lunch. You two had a bit of a lie-in.'

'I wonder what they could possibly have been doing to be that tired, don't you Remus?' Sirius said, his face shining with innocence.

Lily ignored him, then thought of something, 'James can I borrow you invisibility cloak?'

'Sure Lil, but why?'

'Because if these baboons are back, the rest is sure to be back as well. I'd rather not have them see me leave the boys dorm in my pyjamas.'

'Oh, good point, here.'

'Thanks.' She threw it around her and walked downstairs. When she came to the common room she was very grateful for James' cloak; the place was loaded with chattering Gryffindors. She very carefully walked to her dorm then took the cloak off and began to dress.

Meanwhile in the boy's dorm, Sirius and Remus were questioning James. 'C'mon James, what happened last night.' Remus was asking.

'What was it like?'(A/N, Sirius, if you need asking)

Slow down you two, nothing happened last night, she had a nightmare and came to me, that's all.' He said truthfully.

Remus looked convinced, Sirius sceptical, 'And you "comforted" her, right?' He said with heavy sarcasm.

James missed the hint, 'Of course I did, wouldn't you have if it was your fiancé?'

Sirius raised an eyebrow, and James realised his mistake. He groaned, 'Sirius would you stop twisting words on me?'

Sirius face grew set, 'James, I won't be put off any longer, did you or did you not sleep with her? I'm asking you as a Marauder and a very old friend and I promise it won't go any further, Remus?'

'I promise too.'

James' expression grew cornered then he sighed, 'All right already, yes we did sleep together. But not yesterday.' He added.

'No way.' Remus exclaimed, 'I always thought he'd be the first to go.' He said, poking his thumb at Sirius.

Sirius was quite the ladies man, girlfriend every week. James was popular as well but he'd been dating Lily since fourth year so the ladies (A/N, AKA Blonde Busty Bimbos, I don't have anything against blonde btw, I'm blonde myself.) weren't as interested in him as much as before while womaniser Sirius Black was wanted all the more as James wasn't available any more.

Sirius was still staring at him, making him very uncomfortable. 'I'm going to take a shower.' He announced and walked to the 7th year's lavatories. After he'd showered and dressed, he felt his stomach protest loudly against missing both breakfast and lunch. When he came back to his dorm he invited Sirius and Remus for a stroll to the kitchen,

'Where's Peter anyway?'

'Hospital Wing, Snape turned him green and silver before we could help him and then he used a weird sort of shielding charm so we couldn't change him back. He thinks he got away with it but when he walked away Sirius made his underwear show through his clothes.' Remus chortled.

(A/N, So, how am I doing? R/R please, the next chapters name is 'kiss kiss' but it's not what it seems, I'll leave you to think about that.)
