A bird rested on the windowsill, singing merrily. For once, Reagan didn't feel like shooting a good hex its way. She sighed deeply, smiling, and opened her eyes. It was early in the morning, dawn had broken not too long ago. The sweet smell of dew reached Ray, and she moved closer to the person lying next to her. For a moment, she lay content.
Then the shock of what had happened the night before hit her. She'd slept with Sirius Black! Her best friend, her worst enemy. Oh Merlin, I've done it this time. She thought to herself. Sirius lay as still as death, his arms wrapped tightly around Reagan. He was wearing a satisfied smile on his face. Reagan didn't want to wake him. She didn't want an akward early morning greeting where she'd probably say something stupid, and end up looking like a prat.
Slowly and very cautiously, she tried to wriggle out of his grasp. When she was halfway free, Sirius sighed and squeezed her tighter. My goodness, she thought, were those arms strong. She shook her head and tried once again to free herself from the human leech that was Sirius Black. You didn't mind his strength last night, she thought to herself.
Finally, after a lot of huffing and puffing, Reagan stepped onto the wooden floor of the girls dormitory. She looked down at Sirius and shook her head. She pulled on a bathrobe and decided to take a shower. Instinctively, she looked towards Lily's bed. It was empty. She'd never been so glad that Lily had fallen asleep somewhere else. If Lily had walked in on Sirius and Reagan asleep together, half naked none the less, chaos would surely ensue.
When Reagan walked through the common room to get to the showers, she heard a light snoring and jerked her head towards the source of the noise, and her jaw dropped in shock. James Potter was asleep sitting up, and Lily Evans was also sleeping, her head lying in Potter's lap. Pushing away the urge to vomit right on the floor, she thought to herself, the world went crazy last night. Her head still full of her own predicament, she walked to the showers and let the steamy water wash away the jumble of thoughts that clouded her mind.
Sirius was having a wonderful dream. He had a great smelling girl in his arms, and it felt great. The girl was slowly pulling away, and Sirius, warm and cozy with the girl next to him, was not about to give up his comfort without a fight. He gripped the girl tighter. The dream kept going on, and Sirius didn't ever want to wake up from this, ever.
But he did. He woke at the sound of a door softly closing. Cursing the sound, he rolled around, grasping for the girl that had been in his dreams. He found nothing but rumpled sheets, and a soft cream colored cotton skirt. Reagan's skirt. Suddenly, memories of the night before washed over him like a tidal wave.
The furious kisses, the stars, the lovemaking. The world had most certainly gone crazy last night. He'd slept with his best friend, also his worst enemy. He put his arms behind his head and grinned. It had been great. Wait, no, great wasn't a good enough word. Outstanding, maybe. Or perhaps magnificent, glorious, out of this world, awe-inspiring, excellent. Or even super-duper excellent. Yeah, a super-duper was in order for this occasion.
Sirius sat up, and pushed the tangled sheet off of him. He got out of the bed, Reagan's bed, still completely naked. He pulled on his boxers, and the pants from yesterday. Just as he was about to pick of his shirt, someone walked through the door.
It was Ray. She was tiptoeing, and didn't notice him standing there, bare-chested, grinning at her.
"Hey there, beautiful." Sirius said. Reagan jumped, and looked over at him. "Sirius! I...I didn't know you were awake." She said, suddenly looking shy and uncomfortable. She was wearing nothing but her fluffy white bathrobe. It was cut off midway up her thigh, which Sirius noted. Her hair was still wet, and it glistened in the early morning light. Sirius looked up and down her figure, the grin still on his face.
He walked over to her, and pulled her into his arms. He smiled down at her mischeviously, and tried to kiss her. She tried to pull away, but his grip was too tight. "Sirius! I need to get dressed!" She said, looking for an escape route, but finding none. "What for?" Sirius said, finally managing to place his lips on hers.
Trapped in Sirius' arms, Reagan could do nothing to get away. "Sirius! I need to get dressed!" She said. "What for?" Sirius replied, and pushed his lips onto hers. She no longer thought about escaping. His kiss was enough to make her surrender her fight for freedom. She kissed him back, as he untied the belt that held her robe together.
She ran her hands over the muscles in his chest, up to his shoulders, down his strong arms. She pulled his arms tighter around her, as the passion flew between them. His pants were still on, but both of them thought that they were incredibly restricting, and soon they were cast away on the floor in the same place they'd been thrown the night before.
Somehow, they ended up on the floor. Her robe lay forgotten a few feet away. Once again, they fell into each other, reliving the outburst of hungry desire that had been present last night. Reagan moaned softly with each movement, and ran her nails softly against Sirius' firm skin of his back. He moaned loudly, contrasting hers, and pulled her tighter to him. He closed his eyes, softly whispering sweet things. As they both peaked together, Reagan let out a soft scream, and Sirius kissed her.
After the kiss ended, Sirius looked straight into her eyes and whispered, "I love you Reagan. I always have." Reagan shut her eyes, praying that this wasn't a dream. Tears formed in her eyes as she opened them, and she found the strength to whisper, "I love you too. I never realized how much until now." Sirius laid his head on her shoulder.
Reagan was perfectly satsified with staying in the room all day long, laying here with Sirius. But Sirius Black, Mister-Can't-Sit-Still-To-Save-His-Life, jumped up after a few minutes with a burst of renewed energy, despite the breathtaking event that had taken place moments before. "I'm starving!" He exclaimed. He pulled Reagan to her feet and they both dressed.
They walked down the stairs hand in hand, and Sirius, seeing Lily and Potter lying together on a couch, turned to Reagan with that signature troublemaker smile on his face. He put a finger to his lips, and walked quietly over to Potter's side. "No! Sirius!" Reagan whispered, but Sirius just put his finger to his lips once again and leaned his head to within inches of Potter's ear.
"PRONGS!" He screamed, grinning. Potter jumped up wildly, and Lily fell to the floor with a loud thump. Potter held his wand out, preparing to hex whoever had woken him so abruptly. When he saw that it had been Sirius, he put his wand down, scowled at Sirius, then moved to help a very angry Lily to her feet. "Are you allright, Lily?" He said, lifting her up onto her feet. Reagan was surprised to hear a genuine note of sincerity in his tone. She was even more surprised by what Lily said. "Yes, James, I'm fine."
Oh yes, indeed. The world had gone completely insane. Potter was calling Lily, well, Lily, and Lily was calling Potter by his first name, and smiling at him. What had happened to everyone last night? Reagan thought to herself. She looked at Potter and Lily, both talking to each other with civil tones.
Reagan walked over to the three people standing aside the couch. Lily looked at Reagan, looked into her eyes, and her mouth suddenly widened with shock. She looked from Ray to Sirius, then back to Ray. Ray was biting her lip, as she normally did when she was nervous or frustrated. Ray lowered her eyes, hoping that Lily would not figure it out, but Ray knew it was too late. Lily knew Ray better than she knew herself, and vice versa. Without warning, Lily burst into a fit of giggles.
Ray sighed, and said, "Shut up Lils. Say one smart comment and I'll curse you into oblivion, I swear I will." Lily tried hard to stifle her laughter, but to no avail. Within seconds, as if her laughter were infectious, Sirius began to laugh, with his bark-like laugh. Reagan couldn't help it, she smiled, then began to laugh softly. Potter was the only one not laughing. He looked around at everyone, completely non-plussed. "What's going on?" He said, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Lily just shook her head, still chuckling, and took Potter by the arm. "Let's go get some breakfast, James." Potter was still looking confused, but he glanced down at the arm holding his, and accepted his defeat. Reagan and Sirius followed them out, Sirius' arm draped over Reagan's shoulders. The four walked along to the great hall, talking and laughing like old friends.
