Something Like Deception

Chapter 6 – a little too much fun
Lily glanced at James nervously. "So, uh, Pot-James? What's with this whole . . . Room of Requirement place?"
James stared at her. "I-I don't see what the big deal with it is . . . I mean, I like the room and all, but . . . it's not that big a deal."
Lily gave him a quizzical look. "Right. You know, we don't have to go see it if you don't want."
"No, I think we should," James said quickly. "Let's go."
He suddenly grabbed her hand, and pulled her after him, much like Remus had done a few minutes ago. Only . . . this time, it felt more . . . natural. Lily shook her head, violently. NO! What was she thinking? This was Potter! James Potter! Nothing could ever feel natural with him!
She yanked her hand away, and James turned to her, his face taking on a confused expression. "Lily, what's wrong?" he asked, softly.
Lily stared at him, a tinge of red darkening her cheeks. "N-Nothing . . . Um, how much further is this room?"
"Right this way . . . I think," James said, scratching his head. "It was right near . . . uh, this suit of armor, there. Or, here . . . I'm sure it was right over . . ."
Lily sighed. "We're lost, aren't we?" It was more of a statement, than a question.
James sighed, also. "Yes. Yes we are."
(A/N: I called him James here, because it's from Lily's point of view, but it's really Remus. Remember, she has no idea.)
*_*
The real James grinned in the common room. "Remus, can you help me with my homework?" a pretty, blonde-haired girl asked, winking at him saucily.
James winked right back at her, ignoring Sirius's raised eyebrow, and causing the girl to swoon. "Sure can," he said, lowering his (Moony's) voice. "Your dorm room or mine?"
"Yours!" she giggled as a few of her friends looked on enviously.
"Remus, I think I need help with my homework, too!" a brunette said, flipping a piece of her hair behind her ear. She batted her eyelashes at him. "May I join you?"
"Of course. I'd be delighted to have you two join me," James smirked. "Follow me. This way, ladies. Don't trip over each other, now."
The two girls, giggling and flirting shamelessly, followed James, who they believed to be Remus, up the stairs to the Marauders' dorm room.
Sirius rolled his eyes, and took out the Marauders' map, searching for Lily and Remus. Those two had better hurry up, or else James would ruin Remus's entire reputation before the day was out.
*_-
"Ah ha! It's right around this corner, I'm sure of it!" Remus said, grinning.
Lily grinned back and rolled her eyes. "You've said that only about a hundred times or so, Pott-James. Sure this is the right corner?"
"Of course. It has to be, doesn't it?" Remus said. "We've been around every other corner in this school."
Lily laughed. "Can't argue with that."
"Yes! This had to be it! I remember that portrait opposite the door!" Remus said, motioning toward the portrait opposite a blank wall. "Okay, now you just walk back and forth around the corner, thinking – "
"-of some nice place to sit down and study at," Lily finished. "I know. It had better work this time, is all I'm saying."
"It will," Remus said, smiling. She looked oh-so-gorgeous when she smiled. He wished he could kiss her right now, but of course he couldn't. Not while he was in James's body, anyway.
He watched her walk back and forth around the corner, and smiled when a door appeared opposite of the portrait.
"Hey! You did it!" he said, grinning.
"Yes, I did," she smiled. "Ready to go in?"
"Ladies first," Remus said.
"Well, in that case . . ." Lily stood back and beckoned him forward.
"Hey!" Remus said, feigning anger. "I'm not a lady!"
"You say it like it's a bad thing," Lily said. "Come on, James. Haven't you ever wanted to put on a dress?"
"I hope not!" Remus said, shuddering at the thought of James in a dress. Lily was looking at him strangely. "I mean, no! I've never wanted to put on a dress!"
Lily grinned and winked. "Sure, you haven't," she said, sauntering in the room before him.
He smiled and went in after her, then stopped staring in shock. "What's all this!?" he exclaimed.
She crept around him and shut the door, locking both of them in. "This, Mr. Potter, is our timeless getaway from the wizarding world."
Remus turned and stared at Lily. What exactly did she have on her mind?
(A/N: wouldn't you like to know?)
-_*
Sirius ran upstairs to the dorm room and pulled the door open to find one girl kissing "Remus" square on the lips, and the other one . . . he didn't even want to know what she was doing!
"Remus!" Sirius said, angrily. "This has gone on long enough!"
The girls and James both jumped a mile. Then, they scrambled around, grabbing their clothes and ran out of the dorm.
"Oh, come on, Siri, I was just havin' a bit of fun!" James said, his lips smeared with one of the girls' lipstick.
Sirius glared at him. "You mean Remus was having a bit of fun with them! How do you know he isn't a virgin, huh? Don't you think he'd want to experience his own first time, rather than have you experience it for him? Come on, James, where's your head!?"
James mumbled something unintelligible. "Sorry."
"Don't apologize to me!" Sirius said. "You were the one yelling at me about Remus earlier, and how we should be his friends. Why don't you go fix the problem? Put a memory charm on them, or something?"
"Okay. Okay, I will," James said. "Just . . . don't tell Remus, okay?"
"I'd die before I'd tell Remus," Sirius said, shaking his head. He was beginning to think that this whole thing was a bad idea. He hoped it would all be over soon.
@_@
kind of short, I know, but I need to get back into the groove of the story, the feel of it. Okay, now get to reviewing and tell me if I've gotten back into the groove yet. Please.
