Jump over the trick step, slide down the stairway banister, through a secret passage and behind the curtain that hides the Ravenclaw Common room. Right, should be safe here for a while.
"Sirius what are we-" I put a finger to April's mouth, oh it's so soft and lovely.
"Sh." I told her gently.
"You seen that little troublemaker Norris?" Came Filch's evil voice I heard a cat meow. I looked at April, who looked like she was ready to burst out laughing at any minute. Her hair was up, which was unusual for her, and was in a messy ponytail but she had these locks of hair that framed her face in a sort of golden line. "Right, I'm going to talk to the headmaster about him. That's the last time he floods the south passage to the dungeons." I heard Filch walk off and pushed back the tapestry.
"AH!" shouted a girl on the other side of the tapestry.
"AH!" I shouted but not in surprise, I just felt like shouting.
"Sirius, April what are you doing?" she asked. She had long straight black hair and the same oriental eyes as Jenny. She was quite pretty but the prettiest thing in the universe has to be my one and only April.
"We were hiding." April said with a smile.
"From who?" The girl asked.
"Filch, come on April. I want to show you something else." I said, grabbing her hand and pulling her after me.
"Sirius, we've been running around all day, can't we just stop for a while?" April said as she pulled me to a stop. I turned to her and looked at her slightly amazed. She gave me a smile and put her hands around my waist. "I'm getting a bit tired and I can think of better things to do."
"What could be better then pulling pranks?" Sirius asked her. Her face came closer to mine.
"Sitting on your lap with our lips like this-" April said, she kissed my lips lightly, "Or possibly hang out on your bed?" She asked cheekily. Oh boy, this girl is good.
"Ok, lets go." I said pulling her behind me as we ran to the common room.
"Sirius!" April complained again. "Do we have to run?"
"Yes." I said, turning to give her a cheeky grin. She gave me a tired smile and pulled me to a walking pace.
"Lets walk, just this once, see if you can do that?" April said, giving me a challenge.
"What's the fun in walking?" I asked her, pouting slightly. April gave me a cheeky and suggestive smile that made my insides go all funny. Why could April do that? Every time she wanted her way she would give me that smile and I would do anything she wanted. Sirius Black NEVER did anything anyone wanted except maybe if James asked really nicely and gave me a sweet.
"If you continue to run, I won't kiss you for a week," April said, letting me put an arm around her slender waist. Oh, she's so beautiful, she's so pretty and wonderful. I love her so much, well I think it's love, She gave me another smile and I could just feel everything spinning, yep, definitely love.
"So, tomorrow is Valentines day." I said casually, I put one hand into my pocket and pulled April closer with my other arm.
"Yes and?" April asked.
"I want to spend it with you." I said.
"So?" April asked me. Oh, she drives me crazy sometimes. I gave her a look and she stuck her tongue out at me.
"Why you-" I let go of April and made to tickle her. She laughed and ran the short distance to the fat lady, screaming the password as she ran. She was so annoying sometimes but I can forgive anything that she does, I am smitten as Remus says, I'm totally and completely smitten, it's amazing how she managed to get me to behave just a little bit more then any other girl. April turned and just as I approached the portrait hole at a run she closed the portrait and SLAM! I fell to the floor slightly dazed.
"Bitch." I muttered as I tried to get up. The portrait hole opened and April looked at me and smiled.
"You ok?" She asked.
"I was running a bit too fast" I told her.
"I'd say, will you stop running in corridors, Black." Said the Fat lady as she reappeared in the portrait. April giggled slightly and helped me to my feet.
"Sorry about that." April said to me.
"It's fine." I said, "I am super BLACK!" I held my arms out, well I was super Black, even if I hated my family and anything associated with them.
"Yeah, whatever, come on Casa Nova." April said grabbing my shirt and pulling me after her. Casa Nova, hm, that's a good name, maybe I should change my name, it has a ring to it. Hi I'm Casa Nova. Hm, I'll think about that but I don't think that April will like it, oh well, her loss really. April stopped by the sofa and looked over it. I did the same and who should be occupying it? None other then my best buddy and his red haired girlfriend. Of course, they weren't exactly doing the best thing you should be doing in the common room, I mean the head boy should never have his hand up the head girl's blouse. There's just too many young Gryffindors around staring, and there are as well.
"LILY! JAMES!" I shouted. Lily jumped nearly a foot in the air and stood up and straightened her uniform. James started as well and quickly pulled his glasses on properly and began to smooth his hair.
"Sirius!" Lily said as she did up the buttons of her blouse that James had undone.
"What was that for?" James asked as he tried to pull Lily back. She pulled her arm away and tucked her shirt into her school skirt.
"The head boy should not be feeling up the head girl in the middle of the common room at lunchtime." I told them matter of factly. Lily's eyes narrowed and I knew that if April and James wasn't there she would have cursed me to oblivion, I knew if she did I wouldn't stand a chance she was the cleverest girl in the year, in the school really. I took a step behind April, April laughed.
"She's not going to hurt you." April said. "And I think Sirius did the right thing." James stood up now and tucked in his own shirt. I saw a smirk forming on April's face and I knew there was a grin on my face.
"So, Lily, when are you two going to get married?" I asked. Lily glared at me.
"Shut up Sirius." Lily snapped at me, "It's impossible for James and I to have some time alone, I swear, you two are at it almost all the time, Remus and Jenny go to the, wherever they go but James and I, we can't do anything can we? We're the head students so-"
"Lily, calm down, it's ok." James said, putting an arm around her. Lily took a deep breath.
"You look funny when you're angry." I commented.
"I swear, do you want an early death?" Lily asked.
"Lily, no." April said pretending to be worried. "I love Sirius, you can't do that to me. Well not before Valentines day." Lily looked at April and turned around to pick up her jumper that was on the floor behind a chair. "And you know you have to try and have some self control becuase you can't sleep with James before I sleep with Sirius." April said.
"Yeah, whatever." Lily muttered. James started to smirk as well. I vaguely remember why we used to pick on Lily, she's so funny when she's angry or annoyed. And kinda cute looking to, but I didn't think that. No, that's just James' thought popping into my head.
"So what are you two doing for Valentine's day?" James asked, pulling Lily onto his legs. She put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. I looked at April and gave her a wide smile.
"I'm going to make dinner." I said proudly. April's smile disappeared instantly and Lily's smiled.
"Oh no, I'm going to die early, are you sure you want to make dinner?" April asked slightly panicked, "I mean we could maybe just go out or-" I started laughing at April's face, she was so cute when she was panicked.
"No, no I'm not going to cook, I just wanted to see your face." I said laughing. April's expression changed and she hit me, I caught her hand and pulled her towards me and put my lips against hers. I heard her moan slightly and her lips turn into a sort of smile.
"Ok." April said as she pulled away. "What are we going to do?"
"Just look pretty." I said, stroking her arm. April looked at me confused then she looked at Lily.
"Don't worry about it" Lily said without opening her eyes. How did they do that? I know there's some kind of connection between them, I'm very very sure they're gay. They're just dating guys to try and throw me off, I mean they nearly kissed each other at Christmas, like full on kiss and they kiss each other and hug and all that kinda stuff that most couples do. I don't see any other girls doing that in any year of any house.
"Thanks." April said with a grin. She put her arms around my waist. "Your bedroom?" She asked in a whisper. Lily opened her eyes.
"Hey, James and I-" She said getting up so quickly that James winced in pain. We were already half way to the stairs when April gave Lily a grin.
"Too late" She said.
"I hate you April!" Lily shouted.
"Hate you to!" April said back. I laughed as we went to the boys dorms for the rest of the lunch break.
* * * * *
I ran up from the kitchen, pulling out part of my shirt. A lot of people had permission to go out to Hogsmeade for Valentines day but I wanted to stay in the castle, it would be nice for a change. I had plans with some of the house elves and they were all busy in the kitchens. I ran to the Gryffindor Common room and looked around. James was sitting on the sofa with Remus. I walked causally up to them and looked at them with my hands in my pockets.
"So, where are your girlfriends?" I asked them.
"Helping your girlfriend." Remus said bitterly.
"Don't blame me, it's a girl thing where they all gather together and do whatever they do." I said waving one hand around.
"Well, I don't mind. I was planning on just taking Lily for a walk, she doesn't want anything too extravagant." James said. I rolled my eyes and looked at the stairs to the girl's dorms.
"Stop it, My hair is fine as it is." I heard April say,
"No wait, you have something on your nose." Jenny said.
"Holy shit, what is it?" April said slightly panicked.
"It's nothing, she's just messing around with you." Lily said, she was the first girl appear from the girl's dorms, I quickly looked over myself to make sure I looked ok. Dark blue silky feel shirt, I really liked this shirt, it felt so nice against my skin, just like April's kisses. Casual black trousers, that looked sorta like my school trousers. Actually, that's probably because they are my school trousers. Damn it! I picked up the wrong ones, well too late now. I felt a tingling feeling in my stomach, why did I feel so nervous? James looked up at me.
"The girls come down yet?" He asked. I nodded and he followed my gaze to the girl's dorm. "Lily." He said with a grin.
"Hi." Lily said, sitting down on his lap and hooking an arm around his neck and gave him a welcoming kiss.
"Where's April?" I blurted out. Lily looked at me and smiled.
"She's having a minor disagreement with Jenny-"
"Jenny, let go of my hair, it's fine straight." April snapped
"Fine." Jenny said coming down the stairs rolling her eyes, closely followed by April. I let my mouth drop open. Holy shit April looked good. She was wearing these really really nice tight jeans and a Japanese looking top that buttoned up the side and was a really nice light blue with lots of embroidery on it…hang on, how do I know how to describe it? That sounded so gay! Anyway, back to April. She looked so pretty, what I was planning for tonight I just wanted to do right there and then. April grinned one of those stunning smiles that made want to fall at her feet and do anything she wanted.
"Heya." She said casually. I wasn't able to reply, well I was but it wasn't exactly somewhere I wanted to reply right now. Ok, think of something else, something that doesn't not look as sexy or hot as April. Thing of, think of, think of Peter, yeah, think of Peter. Damn it's not working.
"Hi." I said weakly. April looked at me, pretending to be worried.
"I think I entranced him." April said waving a hand in front of my face. The others started laughing.
"Lets go." I said quickly, taking hold of April's hand and leading her out of the common room. She laughed, her tinkling little laugh that always got me feeling a bit-no think of unsexy things until you get to the room of requirement. We walked in silence up to the room of requirement but I could still feel April's gaze on me, it was burning a hole right through my head.
"Where are we going?" April asked as she followed me through the castle.
"Close your eyes." I whispered into her ear. She looked at me suspiciously, something she had every right to do.
"Why?" She asked me, her voice annoyingly suspicious.
"Trust me." I said. She nodded and closed her eyes as I made her walk past the same stretch of corridor three times. A door suddenly appeared from nowhere. I grinned to myself and I led April to the room. She was being awfully nice and actually kept her eyes closed. Such a faithful girlfriend. I closed the door behind us as we walked into the Room of Requirement before I even looked around the room and locked the door. I then turned and looked around the room. Perfectly romantic and April would love it. The room was lit up with red and white candles, there was a table on one side of the room with some plates set out and on the other side was a bed…a bed? There wasn't supposed to be a bed here! I went to April and put my arms around her, she smiled and put her head on my chest.
"Um, you can open your eyes now." I said hesitantly. She opened her eyes and saw the dinner table. She lifted her head and looked around, her eyes wide with happiness and a wide grin on her face. I loved seeing her so happy.
"Sirius, this is amazing." She said "Where are we?"
"In a special room, only thing is there wasn't supposed to be a bed." I said pointing at the bed with a frown. I turned to April, "What were you thinking?" April went red and she gave me a shy smile.
"Nothing." She said quietly but cheekily. Ooo, that girl is just so-
"Lets have dinner." I said quickly. April sighed and nodded, I may be a boy but even I could tell that wasn't what she wanted to do just then. I went to a chair and moved it so that April could sit in it.
"Thank you Sirius." April said, giving me a kiss as she sat down. What was up with me? I was never so gentlemanly, I never did what a girl wanted, I never felt this nervous when I was with a girl. I gave her a smile and then went to sit down.
"I hope you like the food." I said to her, looking into her eyes. Her brown eyes were so beautiful, especially with those little green flecks in them.
"You didn't make it yourself did you?" April asked with a smirk. I grinned and drinks and food filled the plates and glasses.
"You wish." I said with a grin. April sighed thoughtfully as she started eating.
"Not really." She said, "I tried one of those muffins you made a few weeks ago. It tasted like shit." She told me. I spat out the drink I was drinking.
"You actually ate one?" I asked her. She looked at me.
"Yeah, why?" She asked me.
"No reason." I said smiling as I tried to take another drink. "Who gave it to you?" I asked her after the drink. She had been looking at me weirdly.
"James, he said that you asked him to give it to me." She said with a slightly frown.
"Arse." I muttered. April looked at me curiously. "Him not you." I said quickly, "I told him to give it to Jessica." I smiled at April. "You said it tasted like shit?" I asked her. She nodded, she looked completely clueless.
"Why? What was in it Sirius?" She asked me. I gave her an innocent smile
"Promise you won't murder me?" I asked her.
"What was in it?" She asked.
"It was actually made of shit. You remember all the Slytherins spitting out their food that night?" April looked at me like she wasn't really that surprised but I could still see something in her eyes light up.
"Just eat." I said quickly. April laughed slightly and nodded. The food was great, nothing could beat the cooking of the Hogwarts house elves, except probably mrs. Potter but she wasn't available at school to make me meals now was she? I looked up at April, who was looking around the room keenly. I found my eyes wondering from her face to her breasts. It must be the boy in me, you know, check out a girls breasts before actually looking at her face. April's weren't exactly anything special, in fact I think Lily's were bigger but I didn't care, which is really strange for me. There are four things I normally look for in a girl, boobs, bum, legs and looks. April has the looks, she's got the legs and the bum, she has brains and wit and she's nicer then any girl I've ever been with.
"I love your top." I said. April smiled and looked at me.
"Aligadogojaimas, I've been waiting for an opportunity to wear it. Mum and Dad brought it back from Japan last year" April told me. I looked at her confused.
"What was that word you just said?" I asked her. She grinned and stuck her tongue out slightly.
"It means thank you in Japanese." April told me.
"Can you speak Japanese?" I asked her.
"Not very well. I speak French and German better then Japanese and I know a bit of Korean and Chinese, mandarin because that's what Jenny speaks" April told me. I looked at her amazed, I never knew she knew so many languages. "Oh and there's a bit of Italian and Norwegian that I know and my sister tried to teach me Spanish but that didn't really work." She said casually. How could she tell me all this so casually? I only knew English and that was the whole extent of my knowledge of Languages. April looked at me.
"Please? You never knew that about me?" April asked. I shook my head. "My parents travel around the world a lot, they used to take me places and we have a lot of foreign people around our house." I nodded, it was amazing, all this talk of Languages was actually turning me on quite a bit. April was so smart.
"Can any of the other girls speak anything else?"
"Well obviously Jenny speaks Chinese and Lily learnt French in Muggle school" April said. I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I leaned across the table and pressed my lips against April's. I head her give a noise of surprise and she seemed a bit tense at first but she soon relaxed.
"I'm guessing Dinner's over." April breathed as she looked into my eyes.
"It never started" I muttered into her lips. She smiled and stood up, pulling me closer to her. I just pressed my lips against hers and let my tongue play against her lips. I felt her lips go into a sort of smile before they parted and let my tongue have access to her mouth. I could feel April's body right up against mine, her arms wrapped around my neck tightly. I ran my hands up her back and into her hair. Our half finished dinner sat forgotten on the table. April let go of my neck and I felt her hands on my abs and on my back. My skin tingled at her every touch, if that's not love then I don't know what is. My nervousness growing with every second. I didn't know if I wanted to do this yet. This relationship I had with April was special, it was different and so nice, would sleeping with her spoil it. April suddenly pulled away.
"I think we need some music." She said randomly.
"Ok." I stammered. She gave me a slight smile and conjured a radio. "You have your wand with you?" I asked her. She gave me a smile and went to tune the radio.
"Of course, I carry it everywhere with me." She said. She turned to a channel that had some nice romantic music and she came to me. We went slowly to the bed and April seemed pretty much in charge of my body. I didn't have any control over what any part did and I mean NO control. She kissed me and I slowly lowered her onto the bed and deepened the kiss we were sharing. She broke away and kissed my neck and the bit of chest that was bare above my shirt.
"Sirius." She said quietly.
"April." I said just as quietly. I was breathing heavily and my heart was thumping, Merlin it was thumping, I knew what was coming and I wanted it so much.
"I'm ready." She said quietly. I nodded, I knew she was going to say that. We went further up the bed and April pulled me into another kiss. I heard her moan slightly as my hands went under her shirt. I wanted her so badly but I don't know why but I was so scared about hurting her. I slowly undid April's shirt and she shrugged it off while lying under me and not breaking away from the kiss. I rolled onto my side and April took this as her opportunity to roll on top of me. She put on leg on either side of my body, so she was sitting on me. She didn't kiss me but put her hands on my chest.
"Do you mind if I-" She made a motion to rip my shirt.
"Go for it." I said. She smiled and bent down to kiss me. I felt her body move slightly and it brushed my groin. The kisses were amazing, her smell everything about her. This was a side of April that I don't think anyone else has seen before. In the middle of the kiss I heard a tearing noise and some of April's hair brushing lightly against my chest. I felt her hands feeling my chest and her nails dragging against my skin softly. This girl knew how to turn a guy on. I rolled over again and April let out a soft laugh as I did. April had set the rules, I just had to push them on a bit. I started by kissing her face. The kisses went down from her face to her body. I could feel April's chest rising and falling as she breathed heavily. All the while I was undoing her trousers. She pulled my head back up to look at hers. She was smiling and she pulled me into a deeper kiss then ever. I felt her pulling down both my trousers and pants at the same time. Her fingers danced along my bum and around to the front. I hesitated slightly.
"What?" April asked.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked her. I could have slapped myself, of course she wanted to do this but I really didn't want to hurt April. So many girls had lost their virginity to me and had regretted it. I didn't want April to be the same.
"Of course I'm sure." April said. "I wouldn't have let you get this far if I didn't." she said, "Not shut up, you're ruining everything." She gave me a smile, which caused me to smile. My hands went down to her waist where I pulled her knickers down and she pulled me even closer. I could feel her skin against mine, it was so soft, her body was so toned and tanned. Well, it's now or never, I thought to myself as my lips drifted across April's cheek. She seemed to realise that too and held me tightly as I took her virginity.
* * * * *
I lay in the bed staring at the ceiling. April lay her head on my shoulder. She was drawing out small ringlets on my chest with her finger. We must have been lying in the bed for about an hour and neither of us could sleep. How could I? I had just had the most amazing night of my life, I wanted to think it over, spend some time with April. I knew I loved her so much now, that wasn't an issue but April hadn't said anything sine she told me to shut up. I looked at her and all I could see was the top of her golden head. Her hair was spread all over my chest and on the pillows. She had tonnes of it. I pulled her slightly closer and I heard her let out a small laugh.
"What's so funny?" I asked her with a smile.
"You are." April said looking up at me. We made eye contact and she smiled. "Don't worry Sirius. I'm not angry or upset. I'm very happy contented-" she kissed me lightly, "And nothing could be better right now." She said. I pulled her closer and she tucked her head under my chin.
"So you enjoyed tonight?" I asked her. She smiled and I felt her hands on my stomach, tracing the lines of my muscles, yep, I have muscles, I couldn't believe it either when I first got them.
"Did I enjoy it?" She asked. "It's been one of the best nights of my life, no wait, it is the best night of my life." She said. I grinned and kissed the top of her head. She hugged me tightly and closed her eyes. I noticed that she still had her bra one and nothing else. Oh well no matter, her bra actually looks quite good I must say. What? I'm a hormonal teenage boy, I can't help it if simple things like her bra makes me feel like that. I closed my eyes with a contented smile, I knew what April meant. It was the best night of my life as well, I didn't think anything could beat the day I walked out of my parent's house but something has and I would have never have dreamed that it would have been April at the time. April hated me as much as Lily hated James in fifth year. Jenny, April and Lily were the sworn enemies of the Marauders. Now look at us, all dandy, hoping into each other's beds…well James and Lily haven't quite got there yet but they will. Give it time. I smelt April's hair and knew that we were meant for each other, I don't know how I knew I just did.
* * * * *
April's hand is so small compared to mine, it's so weird. I've never noticed those kind of little things about her before. The way the right side of her lips tend to go up just before her left side when she smiles, that mole towards the back of her neck, even the different shades of blonde in her hair.
"Cupid" April said calmly as we approached the Fat Lady. The fat lady looked at us.
"Have a good night did we?" She asked us. April smiled and put an arm around me and hugged me slightly. I don't know why but since last night our relationship seemed to be a little bit calmer, we hadn't actually properly kissed since we woke up and I didn't mind though I did want to get another glimpse of April's bra.
"Um, can we go in?" I asked hesitantly when I noticed that the portrait wasn't opening. April noticed then as well and we looked at the fat Lady curiously.
"The password has changed" came a familiar voice from behind. Lily was walking towards in her school uniform. Her hair was up, which was quite unusual, and she was smiling happily to herself.
"Lily, why are you wearing your uniform?" I asked her. She gave me a smile and stopped just as she came to us.
"Have a nice night did we?" She asked us suggestively.
"The best" April said, hugging me even tighter. Lily grinned and hooked her arm through April's as girls did, and stole her away from me.
"You have to tell me all about it." She said. "Avis" The portrait swung open and April reluctantly let go of me to go with Lily. I held onto her hand as long as I could but when Lily and April got Jenny's attention in the common room the girls all disappeared up into their dorms.
"Padfoot!" Remus said slightly annoyed. I looked at him confused.
"What?"
"Why did you go and do that?" Remus asked.
"Do what?" I asked him cluelessly, what had I done? Well I had sex with April but what else had I done?
"You brought April back, the girls aren't going to be down for a while now because they're going to have to squeeze every detail out of April." Remus said complaining. He crossed his arms childishly as I sat down next to him on the sofa. James was sitting there as well but strangely he was reading a book. James could read? Peter was also with us and he was sitting on a chair but leaned forwards when I sat down. I didn't like the look on his face, Remus also had a curious look on his face.
"So, how as she?" Peter asked.
"I'm not telling you that." I told him as I leaned back. I put my hands behind my head and stretched out on the sofa.
"Ok, so, is she good?" Peter asked.
"Doesn't James normally ask these questions?" I asked Peter curiously. Peter nodded and I looked at James. He didn't seem to have noticed that I had come back. I waved a hand between his face and the book.
"What?" James asked looking up.
"Good morning to you to" I said to him grinning.
"Oh, hi." James said.
"Lily's got him reading now." Remus said.
"No she has not, she just recommended this book and I thought I'd read it." James said defensively.
"Was that why I met her outside?" I asked them.
"Yeah. She had to go and speak to Dumbledore about the next Hogsmeade weekend but Prongs here decided that he'd rather read the book. Got her a little annoyed but she's glad he's not playing tricks." Remus told me. I looked at James in horror and shock.
"She's taming you. No Prongs FIGHT IT!" I shouted as I lunged at him and grabbed him by the shoulders. James couldn't get himself tamed. The marauders wouldn't be the Marauders without him. He was like joint ringleader with me. We were the Marauders.
"I actually like this kind of life though." James said, "It's nice not having to think about who we're going to prank-" I had to cut him off.
"You finish that sentence and I will personally kill you" I said getting my wand out. How could James say something like that? James sighed.
"Fine, how was April?" James asked putting the book down and looking at me. I grinned.
"The best." I said.
"I thought that Ravenclaw girl was-"
"No, April beats everyone." I told him. I just had to think of April and I smiled, yep, I wasn't lying, April was my one and only. And she wasn't boring either, like Lily, she liked to have fun, she helped me out with pranks and homework. I smiled to myself and closed my eyes.
"I'm a bit unsure about this but I think Sirius is in love." Remus said pretending to be worried. I punched him playfully in the stomach and he and James started laughing.
"I am in love." I told them
Next up, Remus Lupin
