Stripping for James

Chapter 4 technically…..

"She kicked him WHERE?!", Sirius gasped while throwing his hands up playfully.

"She's changed Prongs, she's changed."

"Oh shut up already about that.", Lily walked into the Common Room and overheard James re-telling the story of The Snape Testicle Bruising again.

"But honey!", Lily silenced him with a kiss.

"Oh great, excuse me while I film this so I can at least make some money off the pornography in the Common Room!", Sirius screamed so that several people craned their necks to see what exactly was happening.

"Padfoot…you know it might be possible that you can go one hour without embarrassing one of us.", James sighed .

"Impossible.", Sirius went back to doodling on his etch-a-sketch.

It was another cold Spring night outside. The rain clouds were piling up but had not yet spilled their contents. Everyone was in a joint feeling of glassy-minded bliss…with warm firelight and cocoa it's hard not too.

"James?"

"Hmm?", he mumbled into Lily's warm neck.

"Honey, where's Remus go every month?"

That snapped him out of the trance. Should he tell her? Should he finally tell the woman he loved that Remus, the man she adores as a brother is a werewolf? Could she understand it?

No, he wouldn't break The Marauder's trust. It would be up to Remus to tell.

Leaning back into her he tried to sound unconcerned when he said, "His mother's sick Lils."

"Is that why they sneak him off behind that tree? And is that also why every night they do that I hear howling? And how all these years it somehow in coincidence that he leaves exactly on the FULL MOON?", James' eyes widened and even though she whispered it all he swiftly looked around to see if anyone was aware of what she said.

Well, the cover was blown.

"Uh….I have no idea what you talking about…"

Better to play dumb. When in doubt, act like Peter. (a/n:: ohhhh that was a good one ::pats back: )

"James, it's okay I know.", she hugged him lightly.

"But you see…erm..it's not what it looks like he's not a -"

"A what?", both of them looked up to see Remus looking down with a pained expression.

"Hey Rem!", Lily greeted smiling.

"Hiya Moony!", James sounded a little to chipper.

"Lil, can we talk?", Remus motioned his hand to her room and she got off James' lap to comply.

Before closing the door Remus turned and gave him a weary smile. A smile that held years of lies and the redeeming act of getting caught in them.

"Where'd they go to?", Sirius broke James out of his pensive silence.

"Who?"

"Uhhh your wife and the godfather of your babies?", Sirius sat cross legged and gave him a serious (::bites tongue: ) look.

"She KNOWS Padfoot. And stop giving me that look, I didn't say anything she figured it out.", Sirius sniffed snobbishly and went back to his doodles.

*********HALF HOUR LATER***********

James had fallen asleep on the couch and his dark hair was brushed boyishly into his face. Lily couldn't help but feel something stir in her stomach at this sight. It was almost familiar in everyway. She could see herself looking into this scene and picturing her child sleeping the same way. A baby boy or girl, one of their children would maybe fall in love as they had and they could repeat the cycle.

"Sweetie, wake up.", She brushed back his bangs.

"Mommy, tell Sirius to share…", James moaned and shifted a bit.

"Honey..", she sat on the couch beside him and looked down.

Her boyfriend. The ultimate love story every girl wishes and pines for was all locked into him. His rumpled clothes and messy hair didn't hide the fact that he was surprisingly bright and sweet. Anyone who saw them together said what a cute couple they were. They could grow old together. Surrounded by their friends, they could wake every morning to each other's faces.

Well this is one love story, Lily sighed sleepily as she lay on James' chest, This is one love story that won't end in tears and bloodshed.

With a final smile she found herself in a deep sleep.

*******************************************

"Jesus on a cracker! Do they even notice where they fall asleep anymore?"

"Shut it Padfoot…it's still early.", James heard himself answer automatically.

"Uhh no actually it's about 4 minutes until Charms starts…", James blinked one eye open at Remus' voice.

"Really?", he tried to sit up but felt something weighing him down .(a/n: familiar scene eh?)

He looked down to see his girlfriend's body entwined with his own. Her face was pressed lightly into his neck and her hands were resting on his shoulders. James grinned goofily.

"Oh yeah, grin it up! 'Oh look at me I'm Prongs and I have a red-head in my arms every night!'", Sirius pranced around using a high falsetto voice that made the other boys cringe.

"James, you better wake her up.", Remus smiled.

"Yeah sure…where's Peter?", James adjusted his glasses with one hand.

"Come to think of it I haven't seen much of him lately.", Remus shrugged and headed down to class.

"I heard that he's been sniffing around the dungeons.", Sirius followed Remus with a gay skip (a/n: When I say gay I mean it in a non-homosexual way…I mean..well actually I might mean it that way..plot twist ahahaha).

"Lils, wakey wakey eggs and beaky.", James whispered the ryhme his Mom used to call up to him. (a/n:: actually, this is how my brother and my best friend wake me up…::shrug::.."beaky" means bacon.)

"Whassat?"

"Time for class honey."

"Hmm?"

"You know, school and classes with teachers and students and all that lot."

"Jammmess?"

"Fine. Wake up or I'll have to rape you.", her eyes shot open at that.

"I either had a seriously disturbing dream where at the end my cat tried to sexually assault me, or you were talking to me in my sleep.", She eyes him suspiciously as he hid his laughter in her hair.

"Your sick Mr.Potter, I can't get that image out of my head now.", Lily's cat Mr.Pickles decided at that moment to hop on her lap and purr.

"Look Lils, he likes you.", James continued to snicker.

"OH MY GOD!", Lily suddenly screamed as her face drained of color.

"What?!", James put a hand on his wand instinctively.

"WE HAVE CLASS IN 2 MINUTES!", she latched onto his hand and began to run.

It was known to the whole Hogwarts population that James Potter was an excellent athlete. He was considered the fastest and most skillful at almost any sport. So it was very curious eyes that saw his fiery headed girlfriend sprint down the hallways with James barely able to keep pace. And even more curios eyes watched as they tumbled through the door of their Charms class and smacked straight into the desk at the front and toppled over.

"Good Job!", Sirius clapped enthusiastically from the back as the couple blushed and picked each other up.

"Will you two take your seats please.", Professor Finnegan (a/n:: AHAHAHA I have this inside joke with myself…so it's technically an actual inside joke and when I'm alone in a room I say ' Finnigan Minnigan, Mulligan Hooligan'..over and over. Sometimes I change the words, sometimes I leave them be. It's really exciting! ::silence in the audience:: Alright sheesh, it's not like I'm telling you stupid useless information!) called.

"What was that about?", The two boys asked when they sat down.

"Talk to Ms. Marathon Sprinter over there. Honestly, it wouldn't hurt to be late for a class.", James spoke out of the corner of his mouth to avoid detection by the teacher.

"Actually it would, we'd loose points.", Lily joined in.

"But we could've slept some more.", James winked seductively.

"POTTER! EVANS! Stop flirting!", They both started as they heard their names yelled.

The class continued normally until James felt a piece or parchment land by his foot. He picked it up.

Prongs,

You and Lillers have any children yet?

-Padfoot

James shook his head and scribbled back. Before he knew it a full on note passing session was underway:

Prongs: Shut up, you know I'd tell you if we did.

Padfoot: Wow! You can talk?! I just thought since the only times you have your mouth opened it's on Lils lips. I mean, it might be fatal if you remove them…consider that will you? I care only for your safety.

Prongs: You know, you have a lotta BARK but no bite my man. And seriously what the fuck is up with your pink sneakers?!

Padfoot: They're designer labels that my Aunt gave me, and I could bite you if I wanted.

Prongs: Yeah right.

Padfoot: Watch and see, good friend, watch and see.

Moony: What the hell is going on?! Why'd you just bite James' shoulder?

Padfoot: He asked me too. When's the next full moon?

Moony: Next month….duh.

Prongs: You asshole! Do you have any idea how much that bite hurt?! I had to stuff my hand in my mouth so I didn't scream like a girl, a.k.a scream like you.

Padfoot: Well, you deserved it! Anyways, have you seen Lily naked yet?

Prongs: yes, and we made hot passionate sex on the Common Room couch!

Moony: WHAT?! REALLY?!

Prongs: WHAT THE HELL SIRIUS! I didn't write that Moony I swear!

Padfoot: I think he did Rem, you should beat him up for harassing your adopted kid sister.

Prongs: Yes, I agree with Sirius.

Prongs: I DIDN'T WRITE THAT EITHER!

Prongs: Yes I did.

THE REAL PRONGS GOD DAMN YOU: NO!

Moony: You two need help.

Lily: What are you guys writing?

Prongs: About your nice supple chest and your firm ass.

Prongs: SHUT UP SIRIUS! No, we're discussing Muggle Studies homework.

Lily: James?

Prongs: Yeah sweets?

Lily: You aren't in Muggle Studies, I am.

Padfoot: He's lying to your face girlfriend! You should dump his ass on the lawn and get those locks changed!

Moony: I thought we agreed to censor Sirius' watching of trashy t.v. shows.

Moony: My name is Remus and I like to fart….a lot.

Moony: I AGREE WITH JAMES! SHUT UP SIRIUS!

Padfoot: You gonna bite me?

Prongs: Class is almost over.

Padfoot: Eager to start on the family plan so soon Jamsie Wamsey?

Prongs: Yes. And I'm also eager to get the hell away from your shoes, they make me want to puke man.

"POTTER! BLACK! LUPIN! EVANS!", they all looked up guiltily. "You four owe me a 2 foot parchment on how to pay attention!"
