Chapter 14: The Lonely Marauder
"You know what I think?" said Lily lightly.
"No, but enlighten me," said James smiling down at her.
"We need to get Remus a girlfriend," said Lily very casually.
James was a bit shocked at the reply but nevertheless answered her. "What makes you say that?"
"Well," she started then paused for a moment to continue. "He is always so sad and he has no dates. Ever. And I think that having someone in his life will brighten him up and make him happier. Look at what it did for us," she said as she leaned up and gently kissed him.
James looked pleased then agreed to what she had said. He did always seem so down about things. But James has always passed his glumness off for his being saddened by his 'condition'. James had always thought that it was his being a were-wolf not that he was lonely. But now when he thought about it he did seem lonely he had only smiled when there was some funny joke but he had never seen that special light in his eyes he saw in his and Lily's when they were together. James wished his friend had the same feeling that James got every time he looked at her. "All right what's the plan?" He asked finally.
Lily looked at him in amazement. "Well I hadn't got one…yet," she smiled at him. "But don't worry my brilliance always pulls through."
James just gave her a look and said, "Your brilliance? It is my brilliance my dear that surpasses all, and always pulls through."
"Oh yeah right. I'm sure," she said turning just in time to see the glint in his eyes before he lunged for her and gave her a tickle fest. Which earned a menacing glare from the head librarian Madame Pince.

Lily sat in James' arms very content as he stroked her hair gently. They were in the Astronomy Tower. It was eleven at night and they had been there for a while just sitting content with one another's presence. They had sat on the window seat for what seemed like a blissful eternity. Lily snuggled up to James' chest.
"Oh look Lily," said James his voice barely above a whisper.
"It's beautiful," Lily said in awe as what seemed to be a million brilliant trails of lights sped across the sky lighting up all of Hogwarts' ground. "What is it?"
"It's a meteor shower," James said in an all knowing tone.
Lily would have retorted with a definite comment. But she was caught up in the wonder and amazement of what lay before her in the large mass known as the sky. The lights streaked across it with long tails of extravagant glowing streams of brightness.
"It is so beautiful and we have such a good view," came Lily's voice.
"I'm enjoying the view myself," said James his eyes transfixed on Lily the whole time.
Lily looked up into the stunning sea blue eyes. She smiled blushing a little at the compliment. She found herself staring back at him then gently moving up to his lips with her own.
"I love you James," she said softly against his lips.
"I love you too Lils," said James holding her tightly.
After a good long time the two broke from the kiss and resumed watching the meteor shower while still embracing one another. The meteors stopped close to two in morning.
"That was amazing" said Lily.
"mmmhmmm… " said James softly nuzzling her. James noticed she was getting tense and asked if she was alright.
"I'm fine," James gave her a look that said tell me now or I'll tickle it out of you she quickly complied. "It's just Remus. He is so lonely and I wish I could make his loneliness go away. I wish I could take down his wall. He is always so sheltered, protected. I just wish that for once in his life he would let someone in and open up for them."
"He does ,Lily," she looked at him and silently asked who. "You, Lily are the only one besides me and the rest of the marauders who he has ever talked to much about anything. And we don't get much out of him either."
"I just know that if I think hard enough I could do something for him, but I don't-" she was cut short by her own thought and a light appeared on her face. Uh-oh thought James to himself what idea has she got this time? "I've got it! I'll just set him up with a date or two. Or three, as many as it takes. Oh my gosh! I know the perfect person. Marcy Melindos! You know the tall, pretty, sixth year Ravenclaw? She has fawned over you and the rest of the marauders, well with the exception of Peter, for like ever! Not to say that she wasn't crazy to do so," she said hugging him close. "But she is perfect!"
"Now hold on do you really think Remus is going to go for this? I mean he hasn't had a date in, years!"
"Well, it's time for him to get back into the game. I'll talk to you later I've got to act now. I know just what to do," she kissed him briefly and scurried out of the door leading down the stairs and walked off toward the Ravenclaw common room.
"Women," said James his voice in disgust but his face was drowning in amusement.
