Chapter EIGHTEEN.
There were two people watching the close friends down at the water. Remus had been restless and when he had stood to get a glass of water from the bathroom he had noticed that his friend was not in his bed.
Thinking that Sirius must have gone off on some last minute pranking for the final night of their seven years at Hogwarts, he grabbed out the Marauders Map and looked for Sirius's name so he could go and join him.
He was extremely surprised to see that Sirius's name was next to Buffy's and they were sitting in the Great Hall. Waiting to see if they went anywhere, he sat on the edge of the bed, and then the figures began to move. They wandered out side and settled beside the lake. He realized that he would be able to see them from the window. Taking a peek he saw the two kiss briefly.
Smiling to himself he though 'finally' then got the drink he wanted before climbing into his warm bed and falling promptly asleep.
***
Professor Albus Dumbledore sat up in his bed, knowing immediately that there was a student out of bed. Assuming that it was either a late night meeting between friends or the marauders pulling a final prank, he wasn't too concerned.
Moving to the window, he saw something that he hadn't expected. Young Buffy Summers and Sirius Black were sitting on the grass beside the lake. They were in very familiar and comfortable positions.
Even though the two were far away from where Dumbledore's tower was, He could tell from their gestures that Buffy had been upset and that Sirius had comforted her. Suddenly the two kissed, shocking him a fair bit.
"Now that is something that I didn't think would happen." He told himself quietly, a grin on his face. He then headed off back to bed before the painting beside the tower window retorted to his comment.
***
Sirius escorted Buffy back to the Heads Common room just over an hour later and Buffy thanked him and wandered back in to go to bed. Then minute that her head hit the pillow she fell into a deep sleep. For once she didn't dream about Merric.
"BUFFY Come ON!" An excited voice yelled at her and she opened her eyes and saw that Lily was standing at the end of her bed.
"What?"
"Isn't it normally you that does the waking up?"
"You know me. I need my beauty sleep."
"Oh, please. Sleep won't make you look any more pretty."
"I'm not sure if I should take offence or not." She groaned and slid out of the bed. Lily was showered and dressed so Buffy trudged into the bathroom under strict orders.
Thirty minutes the bubbling Buffy that everyone knew and loved emerged from the room looking fresh and happy.
"Buffy, we have to do this it's going to be so funny!"
"Do what?"
"Wake the boys up."
An evil grin spread across her face. "What did you have in mind?"
"I'll tell you on the way...c'mon!" Lily grabbed Buffy's hand and led her to the Griffindor tower, whispering conspiratorially to each other as they went.
Getting in was no problem because Lily knew the password and the boys had hooked up a password to their dorm. Lily thought about it for a minute then took out her wand. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good". The door swung open. Buffy looked at Lily with a raised eyebrow but she only shrugged and gestured inside.
They crept in and split up. Buffy was waking Sirius and Remus, while Lily would wake Peter and James.
Buffy waited a moment and watched Lily start on James. She lifted her wand and muttered a few words and pointed it at the boys. They all were instantly gagged, now they wouldn't wake each other up and all the more fun for the girls.
Lily climbed onto James bed and let her hair fall down over his face. Buffy didn't watch any more, knowing that she had her own job to get done.
Choosing Remus first, she snuck around the side of his bed and leaned over so that her face was ear level. Taking in a deep breath she blew hard into his ear. He sat straight up in the bed and looked around with startled eyes. Then he saw Buffy rolling around on the floor laughing and he put two and two together.
He looked up and saw James spring out of his bed outraged and he couldn't help but laugh. Buffy noticed that Lily was now curled on James bed with a smug expression on her face. James eyes were wide and shocked and Buffy wondered just what Lily had done.
Oh well, they still had a job to do. Buffy nodded to Lily, meaning that she could start on Peter. Looking at Sirius she remembered the night before and didn't want to wake him so cruelly, but she also didn't want anyone else to know about the previous night. Taking a run up she vaulted onto the bed and landed on her hands and knees over Sirius. The bouncing of the bed didn't wake him and she sighed and lowered her face so that it was just above his and yelled. "Wake UP!" His eyes snapped open at the second that Lily's gagging spell wore off.
"I already am." He whispered to her and grabbed her and began to tickle her.
"Stop!" She squealed as the assault continued and she writhed around on the bed. "Help!" She screamed giggling.
"Alright Sirius, that's enough." James said hauling his off Buffy who lay where she was catching her breath.
Peter joined them, thirdly discussed with being woken up so early. "So what was the point of that?"
"You guy's are sleeping in on the last day that we will be at Hogwarts! What is the problem with you guys?"
"Oh...ahh..."
"Exactly. We need to go and have breakfast and then say good bye to everything!"
"Alright Lily." Remus agreed, pulling himself to his feet.
All the boys stood looking at the girls pointedly. "What?" Buffy asked innocently.
"Out!" Sirius said, pulling her off his bed and pushing her to the door while James did the same to Lily.
"Fine! We'll be in the common room waiting." Lily called to them as they slammed the door shut.
***
"Well that was interesting." Peter sighed dropping back onto his bed.
"I know. Girls are strange when they are happy." Remus sighed shooting a look at Sirius that the other boy couldn't miss. He blushed and looked at Remus with a question. Remus just looked back blankly.
"Hey Prongs, what ya got there?" Sirius asked James who was sitting on the end of his bed with a little box in his hand.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Wouldn't have asked if I didn't."
"Alright." James tossed the box over to Sirius and Remus and Peter all crowded in to have a closer look.
"Oh my..." Peter gasped.
"Is this what I think it is?" Sirius demanded.
"Congratulations buddy." Remus smiled up at James.
"Yes, that is an engagement ring, and yes I am going to ask Lily to marry me and yes I have asked Professor Dumbledore and Buffy for permission before I actually do it."
"So this isn't just a prank?" Sirius demanded again his eyes wild.
"No, for once in my life, I am deadly serious."
Peter stood and took the box from Sirius, then walked back to James. He gave him the box back solemnly. Then offered his hand to his friend. James shook it gratefully.
"About time." Sirius said under his breath.
"Huh?"
"Well we all knew that you and Lily were meant for each other. The only thing that we had to do was wait for you guys to realize it." Sirius was grinning openly now.
"I thought that you were angry." James accused.
"Nope, just surprised that it had taken you this long."
Grinning, all the boys patted James on the back before getting changed and then joining the girls down stairs in the common room.
