Over Inflated Jerk
chapter 6
*
Claire Saunders brushed a strand of long dark hair behind her ear and gazed up at Sirius Black expectantly.
"Well? What do you think?" she asked eventually.
"It's a good idea I suppose." He began "But it could backfire pretty badly. I mean they could end up worse than before."
"Yeah I know, but there's a risk to every plan and we don't have anything else. Or do we?" She added looking at Sirius.
His brow furrowed. "Well no, not really I mean it's so complicated with those two. I really can't think of anything else."
"So, shall we do it?" Claire asked excitedly.
He thought for a minute, "Yeah," he said, "After all what's the worst that can happen?"
"Excellent." Claire said grinning happily. "Ok. So, I'll kidnap Lily you kidnap James, we'll throw them in an empty classroom lock the door and let them out in the morning. Agreed?"
"Definitely. I'm not sure how I'm going to carry James, he looks pretty heavy but apart from that..."
Claire laughed, "I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle." She said eying him demurely. "Shall we include Remus and Emily in our plans or not?"
"Nah." Sirius said carlessly.
"Why not? You might find an extra pair of hands carrying James useful." she teased
"It's not that. I - I just like spending time with you is all. Alone." He grinned at her playfully.
She bit her lip as she looked up at him. "Yeah, me too." She said after a while "I didn't know that you would go to such extremes to help James."
"That's not the only reason I come here. As fun as it is setting James and Lil up, the real reason I come is to be with you. I really like you you know." His dark eyes were staring up at her apprehensively.
Claire drew her chair closer to Sirius smiling, "Me too-" she began but then before she could continue Sirius's mouth was on hers, kissing her senseless. Hot slow lips claimed her mouth kissing her as casually and leisurely as if they had all the time in the world. Hot slow lips kissing her roughly but tenderly drowning her in passion. Claire knew that she had never been kissed like this before and was certain to never be kissed like this again. As she had expected, Sirius was basically all tongue and no lips. She drew herself closer deepening the kiss running her hands through his dark hair. When suddenly the chair they had been more or less sharing fell over, flingling Claire directly on top of Sirius.

Back at the boys dorm James, Remus and Peter were studying the marauders map intently.
"Look." said James. "They must be right on top of each other now. You can't really see two dots anymore. It's merged into one."
Peter nodded eagerly agreeing enthusiastically with James. "I wonder what they're doing." He squeaked.
"Wormtail, I think it's bloody obvious what they're doing." James said looking at the smaller boy, his eyebrows raised.
"Yes, yes, of course. Sorry James." James shook his head.
Remus got up. "Honestly, you two. It's only a dot. It's hardly very exciting."
"Moony, it's not just a dot, it's a moving dot, surely you know what that means."
Remus rolled his eyes at James's immaturity. "Hey look," James suddenly observed, "They're becoming two dots again. Sirius is exiting the room, he's - he's waiting for Claire. They're coming this way-" Remus snatched the map away. "Hey" James said. "What was that for?"
"It's not really your buisiness what Sirius does. When we made the map we said we wouldn't use it to spy on each other."
"You're so boring." Wormtail said looking at James for approval.
"No, he's right." said James reluctantly. "Anyway, he'll be in here soon enough, we can ask him then."
A few minutes later Sirius bounced through the door.
"Hello." said James secretively. "Anything you think you'd like to tell us?"
"Huh?" Sirius said stupidly.
"Like where you've just been for instance?" Remus added grinning.
"Perhaps with a girl?" James continued.
"Maybe in the room of requirements?"
"Claire Saunders?"
Sirius's jaw dropped. "How did you know?" He exclaimed. James tapped the map with his wand grinning. "Looked like things were getting a bit hot and heavy in there Padfoot." Sirius grinned. "yeah, they were I suppose. But then she said she had to go so..." He broke off shrugging. For a minute he thought James had worked out what he was really up to.
"Claire Saunders." Remus said thoughtfully. "She's hot."
"I know." Sirius said proudly.
"Not as hot as Lily." James added looking wistful.
"Oh yeah," Remus said. "Have you apologised to her yet?"
James nodded.
"Oh, so how did it go?" Sirius asked.
James thought for a minute, then said. "I don't know."
"Oh, well that's good." Sirius said clapping him on the back. "The first steps of a relationship are generally confusion."
James sighed. "She has forgiven me. I think. But basically she said in a nicer way that she'd never go out with me and I should get over her."
"But why won't she go out with you?" Peter chipped in.
"she said she only went out with people she liked in that way." James said gloomily.
"So you've got to make her like you." Sirius said triumphantly.
"Yeah but in that way."
"Don't worry Prongs, there was never a girl you couldn't get. Why should Lily be any different?" Remus said kindly.
"Since when has Lily been like other girls?" James said. "It's typical really. She's probably the one girl I'll ever love and coincidentally the one girl I'll never have."
The three boys said nothing just looked at James sympathetically. This was more than a schoolboys crush.

"Where have you been?" Lily asked Claire looking up from the 'Daily Prophet'. Lily and Emily were both lounged on their beds relaxing. Claire shrugged evasively. There was no knowing how Lily would react if she found out what Claire had been up to with her worst enemy's best friend.
"Just wandering around. You know." she said.
"Not really." Emily said looking at her suspiciously. Something was up. "Have you been with a boy?" She asked still suspicious. Claire's cheeks had a happy glow which hadn't been there for a while.
"No, of course not." Claire said giving Emily an 'I'll tell you later look' Emily shrugged. "Whatever." she said.
"Hey guys," said Lily suddenly "look at this." Her face was white. "What's up?" Claire said leaning over to look at the front page. She gasped. "Oh no, how awful." She snatched the paper from Lily to get a closer look. The Head Lines read 'HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED STRIKES AGAIN: MASS MUGGLE ATTACK'
"Almost a hundred have died." Claire gasped.
"When is this going to stop?" Emily asked. "Voldemort's still rising to power how much worse can he get?"
"I don't know." Lily said, "but I hope he's stopped soon, so many people have died and it's mostly muggles and muggle borns. The Ministry of Magic don't seem to know what to do."
"Where was the attack?" Emily asked.
"Somewhere in Hampshire." Lily said.
"Don't - don't you live in Hampshire?" Claire said tentatively.
Lily nodded "But no one I knew was on the list of those who've died." She said rubbing her nose, a habit she did when she was scared.
"Don't worry Lils," Claire said understanding at once, "Nothing'll happen to your parents. Voldemort never strikes in the smae place twice."
"But they're both muggles and I'm a muggle born," Lily said, she looked on the verge of tears, "We'd be the perfect victims."
"Don't worry." Claire said comfortingly drawing her friend up in a hug "Everything'll be Ok." She sneaked a glance at Emily who looked just as concerned about Lily as Claire.
"You smell of aftershave." Lily said in a muffled voice.
"Damn." Claire said. "Busted."

hi everyone. please review.
This fic may turn slightly AU because I don't think they'll get together in seventh year. In fact the ending'll probably be slightly different to most L/J s so if I bother to keep writing and you bother to keep reading you'll all find out soon enough.
I have absoloutly no idea how long this fic will end up. It won't be desperatly long but there are quite a few chapters left to come, so please please please review. My reviewing levels are going down drastically. I got 25 reviews for the 1st chapter but then they started going down and down and down... Anyway, PLEASE review. Think of it as your good deed for the day.
