Time and Time Again
Chapter 11: Dirty Deeds
"Psst. Lily!" Riley was trying to get Lily's attention from the back of the Potions classroom. Professor Lightheart had picked the partners again and she separated Lily and Riley. Riley was in the back working with Karlye and Lily was in the very front working with Ed.
Lily turned around when the teacher walked away from them and mouthed the word, "What?" to the back. Instead of the normal whisper Riley blurted out, "Where do babies come from?" Not in a quiet voice either, so when everyone heard the question they looked at the sober face of Riley's and then burst out laughing.
"Well, my friend when two people fall in love they want to show their love by –" Lily was explaining until the professor interrupted,
"That is enough you two. I would have expected that little speech from James, Sirius, or Remus, ("I resent that!" all three boys exclaimed) but not from you two! Detention and 20 points each from Gryffindor!" Professor Lightheart said with a twinkle in her eye and a small smile playing her lips. "Please return to your potions."
"Do you know?" Riley whispered to Karlye making her erupt in a fresh set of giggles and earning another 10 points from her house.
Later that evening
"So, when are your detentions?" James asked shoveling food in his mouth.
"Tonight at 8:30." Lily answered looking disgusted at her boyfriend.
"Say Rye, if you clean her ducky collection can you snag one with a sailor suit?" Sirius asked.
"What happened to the one I got for you last time? I think it was the one with the business suit."
Sirius looked at Charlie like he was going to cry and answered, "He set it on fire! Mr. Chucky Ducky. I know it was an accident but you still did it." He added over the protests of Charlie and Ed.
"Scandalous!" Riley said putting her hand over her mouth. "What were you trying to do?"
Charlie blushed and mumbled "Iwastryingtogivemyselfaperm."
"In English please?" Riley asked sarcastically making Charlie blush a deeper crimson.
"I was trying to give myself a perm." He said slowly, making everybody except Riley laugh.
"No really what were you trying to do?" Charlie grinned sheepishly and joined the rest laughing. "You really did?"
"Yep, he tried it in our fifth year too. It didn't look to good." Kiki said in between laughing. Riley contorted her face in a confused face.
"Hun, are you ok?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, I'm just trying to picture that. Why do you ask?" Riley looked at him confused; but instead of Sirius answering Lily blurted out loudly, "Because you look constipated!"
You can only imagine the looks they got from that. First a squeaky voice practically yells, "Because you look constipated!" then 10 seventh year Gryffindor's, six of which are the most popular people in school, are laughing hysterically. Something about that makes a person wonder you know.
"Oh my." Kiki said catching her breath after a long period of laughing so hard. "Wow. Is dinner always like this?"
"Sometimes, stick around it could get better." Remus said winking at her.
"Are you flirting my dear brother? I have never seen you in action! Go a head sweep her off her feet." Riley said making her brother and Kiki blush a deep crimson.
"What time is it James?" Lily asked looking over James' shoulder but he moved so she couldn't see. "Um, James?"
"Call me sweetie pie." James teased.
"Are you serious?" Lily asked in disbelief.
"Yep. All you call me is James."
"So you want me to call you something different? Like a pet name?" Lily smiled. She knew he would dig himself in to a hole that he probably couldn't get out of.
"Yes! See you were head girl for a reason." James smiled. Then what's your reason for being head boy? Lily thought her smile widening.
"Ok I'll call you Mark!" Lily pronounced.
"That's not what I meant. You see I meant is –" James tried to counter, but Lily interrupted by saying, "Don't worry, Mark, I know what you meant. You wanted a nickname well that's it! Oh, Rye, it's time for detention lets go!"
"LILY! I WILL NOT BE CALLED MARK!" James yelled after his girlfriend who just turned, smiled, and waved at him.
"That one was good. I don't think he'll want you to call him any pet names anymore." Riley laughed as they walked the familiar path to the under ground classroom.
"That was the plan." Lily laughed along with her friend. "When he said that I was head girl for a reason I thought and you reason is?" That comment made them laugh until they got to the door of the potions classroom.
"Miss Lupin if you are so keen on learning about the facts of life you will spend your detention helping the mice for the next potions lesson mate." Ignoring the disgusted look on her face she continued, "We have two a male and a female, we need at least twenty. You Miss Evans will come to my office and dust." Professor Lightheart turned signaling Lily to follow. Riley had just enough time to whisper, "Sailor Suit." Then they were separated.
"Professor?" Riley said a half an hour into the detention.
"Yes, Miss Lupin." The professor coming out of her office and into the classroom.
"Is Martin supposed to run away from Freeda?" Riley asked.
"Is who supposed to run away from who?" The professor asked baffled.
"Is Martin supposed to run away from Freeda?" Riley repeated. After looking at the confused look on her professors face she pointed to the two rats.
"Oh. My. How do you know which one is which?"
"Aren't you supposed to know that and not me?" Riley mused.
"Well I could never tell which one was a girl and which one was a boy!" She explained to her pupil.
"Oh ok, well the male mouse has bulges and the female has concave indentations. But shouldn't Freeda be running away from Martin?" Riley said simply
"How did you know that? And why did you name my mice?" Professor Lightheart asked amazed and also baffled by the names.
"Because Peter Pettigrew gave me a book on mice last Christmas and I couldn't sleep one night and I thought that by reading it would put me to sleep." Riley explained then she continued to answer the other question, "And those are the first names that came to my mind when I said hello to them."
"Oh, well I don't know why he's running away from her. Hold on for just as second." She went to the cabinet behind the sinks and pulled a clear bottle full of a purplish pink liquid. "Love Potion." She explained. She picked up Martin gently and put a couple drops in his mouth then put him with Freeda. I'm not going in to details about what happened in that cage, but there Martin was no longer running away from Freeda.

"So how was detention?" James asked Lily and Riley when they returned later that evening.
"Fine." Lily said handing Sirius the sailor suit rubber ducky.
"Yeah well you didn't have to watch the facts of life from two rodents. I'll tell you something Sirius we could learn a few things from Martin and Freeda." Riley said. "I think I'm going to have nightmares about those two when I sleep!"
"What did you have to do?" Charlie asked Riley. But Riley didn't answer she was too busy blushing.
"She had to watch two mice mate." Lily said simply.
"Well you just said that so. . . . what the word. . . simply. You didn't have to watch them did you? You got dust her office. I had to sit there and make sure the dirty deed was done!" She said looking at Lily like she was about to bite her head off. Then she saw Remus look at her and Sirius like he was about to kill. "Reme, are you alright?"
"What have you done to my only sister Sirius?" Remus' voice was shaking with anger.
"What do you mean mate?" Sirius asked looking both amused at his girlfriend and scared at the look Remus was giving him.
"I'll tell you something Sirius we could learn a lot from Martin and Freeda." Remus mimicked his sister. "That statement is implying something. I want to know what it is! Scratch that. I don't! All I'm going to say to you is sleep light tonight my friend." Remus said still looking as though he was going to kill.
"Are you kidding me? Remus you know just as well as I do that I would not do that. Not yet at least." Riley teased. Then on a more serious note (no pun intended), "You do trust me right?"
That made him soften his glare that was fixed upon Sirius. "Of course I trust you, and yes I trust you too Sirius. But you two are in a relationship and you do have hormones and hormones like to take the best from people. They like to ruin people lives! I just don't want that to happen."
"I think that we should go shag on his bed, what do you think Rye?" Sirius had a mischievous flint in his eyes.
"I think that would be a splendid idea and we shouldn't use any contraceptives." Riley playing along.
"I think that if you both do that I will have to castrate you Sirius and lock you, Riley, in our basement and never ever let you out." Remus said his death glare returning.
"Alright Moony you don't have to get so damn protective. We would defiantly use contraceptives." Sirius laughed. Even Remus laughed at that.
"Damn it! I left my essay for Transfiguration in the library. I'll just have to go fetch it." Peter said standing up.
"Pete, why don't you just stay there and finish it and we'll copy off you when you've finished." James said winking at his baffled friend.
"Alright. I'll see you later!" Peter said brightly and made his exit.
"You know you shouldn't copy of other people's work, Mark, you won't learn anything." Lily said to James.
"How long are you going to keep calling me Mark?" James asked frustrated.
"I don't know, James. It's kind of catchy." Riley said smiling at Lily.

There was a knock at his office door.
"Coming!" He called putting his cup of coffee down and walking to the door. "Peter. Come in please."
"Hello." Peter said. Of course he was going to say more but Seth's mouth caught his and it stayed that way for a long time.
Finally when they broke apart Seth said, "Don't say a word, let me speak. I care very deeply about you, Peter. That is why I am asking you to come join me in America when you graduate from Hogwarts." They were looking in to each other's eyes and it gave Seth awesome joy to see Peter's eyes light up when he said that.
"Of course I will, that is if you'll still have me after what I'm about to ask of you." Peter saw confusion cloud over his lovers eyes and continued, "It is really hard keeping this a secret from the staff in this school. Don't get me wrong I know we have to work through the hardships but I don't think that I could live with myself if you lost your job. That is why I'm asking you if we can put us on hold until I am out of school."
"Do you love me Peter?" Seth asked.
Peter looked at him like he was a crazy man. "I have loved you since our first date." Seth smiled and again their lips met for a longer period of time.
"Of course." After those two words Seth Miller and Peter Pettigrew became like Martin and Freeda but human being and homosexual and they didn't need love potion to get them started and they weren't there to reproduce and well you get the picture.
