Lily and James' Best Years
A.N: How'd you like the last chapter? I'm hoping for a "Good enough."
Chapter 15- Some things never change
Remus Lupin was sitting on a window sill, gazing at the lake. It was absolutely beautiful. So peaceful, so reliable...It always brought his spirit up. The girls knew his secret, he was sure of it now. But if they figured it out, who will it be next?
"Hey." Lily was standing in the doorway. Remus was in an unused classroom.
"Hallo." He answered, not turning to look at her. He could see her reflection in the window.
"What's wrong?" She sat next to him, looking at his reflection questionably.
"Nothing's really wrong, it just... If you figured it out-"
"Who's next?" Lily smiled and put an arm around him. He smiled back.
He said "Well, yeah." and Lily nodded understandingly.
"You don't have to worry, it won't be a Slytherin."
He looked at her. "Too stupid." She shrugged and He chuckled.
"Thanks." She grinned back.
"C'mon. Let's go see the quiddich practice." And they left.
James was flying really well that afternoon, Remus pointed out, and Lily agreed. He got the snitch 10 minutes after it was released. He flew to Lily and Remus, seated in the stands.
"What do you think?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her. Lily seemed about to giggle but then her face was backing to serious.
"You could do a lot better." James's jaw dropped. "Besides, you were showing off like crazy." Remus's chuckle growing louder by the second.
"What?! I-"But Lily shot a "Save it." At him, and, kissing Remus's cheek and saying goodbye, she left. Remus was rolling on the floor with laughter now from seeing James's face.
"Guess that kissing session was a one time thing?" He finally said, flicking tears of laughter from his eyes. James shook his head and shrugged.
"She'll come round, might take another year, but she will sooner or later."
"Later." Remus said with a smirk.
"Gee, thanks for the support."
"You're welcome."
James looked a little wondering, and then asked: "Where're Padfoot and Wormtail?" Remus shrugged.
"Common room?" He guessed.
"Yeah, probably." James nodded and turned his head to look behind his shoulder at the team. He was the quiddich captain and had to make sure they were all doing their part. One of the beaters hit a chaser with his bat and James rolled his eyes.
"YALOM! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" And he flew over at him and, from the motions he was making with the bat and his hands, Remus thought he was telling him he was doing everything wrong. He let out a small laugh, followed by a sigh, and then he turned and headed for the castle.
He finished his homework quickly and then read a book, well, he tried:
"Moony!" Sirius sat across from him, on a soft chair.
"Hey."
"Guess what just happened." He smiled. Remus lowered his book and looked thoughtful.
"You just had sex with a girl you've only just met."
"Nice guess, but no. I, Sirius Black, though I'm not really happy about the Black part-"
"The point, Padfoot." Remus said with a smile.
"Right. I just told Millicent I love her." He said proudly. Remus smiled.
"Nice."
"Very."
"And then you had sex." Remus smiled, Sirius returned the favor and shrugged. Remus laughed, shook his head and returned to his book.
"You know what we should do?" Sirius asked loudly, Remus groaned and put his book down.
"What?" He asked sharply, but Sirius didn't notice.
"Fix Lily and James up. Millicent says she's still not falling for James, at least not admitting it..."
"Sirius, whenever you decide to do something like that it blows in your face, why-"
"Because it's fun and I'm bored."
"Fine. Just for fun." Remus smiled and picked up his book.
"Well, come on then!" Sirius took his book and dropped it on the floor, leading him to the boys' dormitory. Remus sighed and followed him.
"So, what about if we lock them in a broom closet?" Sirius asked. Remus shrugged.
"That might work, it is James."
"Okay, we'll do that and then if that doesn't work...we'll think of something else." Sirius took out the marauders map and said the words.
"Okay, what about this one?" He asked, pointing to a small room.
"Nah, make it this one, on the third floor. It's a lot smaller, they'll be squashed together." Remus said proudly.
"Yes. Good idea, Moony. So, tomorrow night? I'll get James in there, you take care of Lily."
"Alright, c'mon, let's go." Remus folded the map after saying the words and gave it to Sirius. They found James sitting in the common room, trying to do his homework.
"Any luck?" Sirius asked.
"Almost finished." He answered.
"Want to copy mine?" Remus asked, James considered this but then shook his head.
"Nah, I'm almost done anyway...'and, last, is, the, Reeled, Goldra, which, helps, animals, with, ingestion, problems.' " James wrote and smiled. "Done." He smiled.
"How'd quiddich practice go?" Sirius asked.
"Pretty good." James answered. "I'm actually starting to like being captain." He said.
"Hey." Kayla sat down, followed by Millicent. Millicent started playing with Kayla's hair immediately.
"Ladies." Remus smiled.
"How are you?" Sirius added, rather looking at Millicent and not Kayla.
"Wonderful." Millicent answered, but her face fell. "Though Kayla's not as happy."
"Why, what happened?" Remus asked, looking worried.
"Well, you know that guy...what's his name?" Millicent asked Kayla.
"Brad." She supplied.
"Right, him. Turns out he has a girlfriend."
"Oh, and you-"James looked at Kayla questionably. She nodded. "Oh. Sorry 'bout that."
"No, it's okay." She said, then looked up at Remus, he smiled and she looked away, the marauders exchanged knowing looks.
"So you all know 'bout Moony?" Sirius asked, remembering suddenly that night where they talked, the girls giving out hints.
"Yeah." Millicent smiled. Remus sighed.
"Don't worry." Millicent touched his arm soothingly. "We won't tell anyone." She smiled.
"I know, it's just, aren't you afraid?"
"Of you? No, besides, aren't you only dangerous during a full moon?" Kayla asked. Remus nodded. "Well then what are we supposed to be afraid of? Peter is scarier." They laughed.
"I'm bored." Sirius said five minutes later, Lily walked in shortly after and started up the stairs to the girls' dormitories. Kayla looked around. There were a few second years playing exploding snap.
"Why don't we...go...ergh! Why don't they have televisions around this place?!" Sirius, Remus, and James all looked questionably at her.
"They're these boxes with little plays in them...kind of. T's really cool." The boys still looked at her uncomprehendingly. "Muggles watch it for entertainment." She said.
"Oh. But that still doesn't help." James said. Remus sat back and picked up his book with a grin on his face. Sirius sighed and walked to the window.
"I guess we can always just..." His voice broke and he stared at the grounds, not believing his eyes.
