Chapter 2: The One With The Baby-sitter Part 2

Revenge is so sweet

Sirius had managed to get back to James' bedroom, but he never had time to find his wand. He had completely forgotten how horny James could be in the morning, which is why Sirius found himself on his back on the bed with James nipping and kissing at his neck with his hands roaming.

"Karliya could walk in on us." Said Sirius in strained voice; he was starting to get very uncomfortable down below.

James grunted and raised his head with mischief written all over his face, "She'd enjoy it." With that, his mouth found Sirius' and he trailed one hand down to the waistband of Sirius' black pants and slipped it under.

Sirius arched up into James when he felt James take hold of him.

As they kissed, James suddenly became aware of what his hand was on.

Is it just me or has Sirius gotten smaller? He thought in confusion.

Meanwhile Sirius was having similar thoughts. Is it just me or has James' hand grown?

James quickly pulled away and removed his hand from inside Sirius' pants.

"Wha-James!" Whined Sirius in frustration.

James pulled Sirius' waistband out and nearly choked, he let go causing Sirius to yelp when the elastic slapped him and looked to Sirius' face only to burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?!" Exclaimed Sirius grumpily. Because he got no answer and only a point to his crotch, Sirius looked into his pants.

"KARLIYA!"

Karliya sat laughing evilly at the kitchen table, Sounds like they've found out. She thought as she got up and headed out the kitchen and upstairs.

"You hollered Mr. Black?" Said Karliya innocently when she got to James' room.

"What did you do?!" Cried Sirius glaring daggers at her. He looked to James, "Stop laughing Potter!"

His only reply was a snort as James fell off the bed laughing harder.

Karliya raised her eyebrows; "Whatever are you talking about Sirius?"

"You know perfectly well what you did to me!" Growled Sirius in a very Padfoot like way. "Now change it back!"

Karliya leaned against the doorframe and crossed her arms, "No can do Padfoot. It's a timer."

"You cow." Growled Sirius still glaring at the grinning Lupin. "Please change it back…"

Karliya shook her head, "I told you Sirius, it's on a timer. I can't change it back, you have to wait."

James had finally managed to calm himself down there on the floor at the foot of his bed, "How long?" There was still a lot of amusement in his voice and Sirius glared in his direction, even though he could only see the messy mop of black hair over the end of the bed.

"Twenty four hours." Replied Karliya coolly.

"You mean to tell me, I am going to have a tiny dick for twenty four hours?!" Shouted Sirius, his deep blue eyes turning nearly black with anger.

Karliya just grinned and nodded. "Well, it's not that much of a problem, I mean, James is the dominant one after all."

James pulled himself back onto the bed, deliberately avoiding looking at Sirius' face in case he started laughing again. "Just how much does Remus tell you?"

"Well," Started Karliya casually, "I know about you two being together, obviously. I know that you two and Peter know about the Lycanthropy. I also know about you three being illegal Animagi in order to help my little brother through his transformations, and for that, I am proud he has friends like you three, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to get you back for turning my hair pink and green. I also know about the Marauders Map and your Invisibility Cloak James. I know your nicknames, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, I also know your Animagus forms, dog, rat and stag." Sirius and James sat there with their mouths dangling open. "So you see, I have a lot to blackmail you with if you even think about threatening me or hexing me. OK?"

The two boys nodded in worry.

"Now, change my hair back." Ordered Karliya sternly.

James grabbed his wand and muttered the counter charm for the one they used on Karliya, and her shoulder length hair turned back to its bronzy brown colour.

Karliya smiled, "Well now, I'm willing to make you both breakfast if you behave and don't hex me. What do you want? A fry up? Bacon, eggs, sausages?" Both boys nodded, Sirius pouting miserably. "OK, it'll be ready in about half an hour." With that, she left the room and headed back downstairs.

James turned to Sirius and saw the dark glare coming from his boyfriend. "What?"

"You didn't have to laugh at me." Said Sirius looking very miserable.

James frowned slightly and moved over to Sirius, "I'm sorry. I was-it was-well, you have to admit, she did get you back good." He stroked Sirius' hair.

Sirius sighed, "Yeah I s'pose. It's still upsetting that you were laughing at me, least you could do is be sympathetic."

James was suddenly overcome with a severe bout of guilt over laughing at his lover. He pulled Sirius into his arms, "I'm sorry Siri, I didn't mean to."

"Yes you did."

"OK, maybe I did. But I don't want you to be angry at me over something so stupid." Replied James still stroking Sirius' hair.

Sirius finally rested his head on James' shoulder, "I don't know why I'm so upset. I guess I'm still reeling from being shut out by you guys for so long after what I told Snape."

James pulled away slightly so he could see Sirius' face, "You know I didn't mean those things I said to you, except the stupid arrogant bastard bit, but other than that…you shouldn't take the rest to heart."

"Well I did take it to heart didn't I?" Replied Sirius pulling away from him and sitting up against the head of the bed. "Those things coming from Remus, I could handle, but coming from you?"

"Sorry." Said James. How could something as simple as a prank from Karliya turn into this conversation, one they had had a few times since Sirius gave away the Whomping Willow secret to Snape last November.

James didn't realize how upset Sirius still was over that though. Although the others hadn't spoken to him for almost four months afterwards.

"You know, I cried myself to sleep nearly every night for those four months. It was hell." Said Sirius tearfully. "I really thought you hated me." James frowned. "Do you know what its like to think the only person you've ever loved hates you?"

"No." Replied James truthfully. "But I can tell you I don't hate you. I never have. I was just angry with you for betraying Remus' trust like that, and I suppose I was angry that he forgave soon afterwards, but I really don't hate you, and I was only laughing before because I thought it was funny. And it is." Sirius half scowled at him but he had a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Anyway, I love you, and I don't want something this stupid coming between us again. OK?"

Sirius nodded.

"You have a real way of making someone feel guilty you know that?" Asked James moving up in front of Sirius on his knees. Sirius grinned and nodded. "Good." James leaned in and kissed him deeply. "Because I'd hate for us to always be nice to each other, otherwise we wouldn't be able to have make up sex."

Sirius snorted, "Well I'm not doing anything, until I'm right again." He said indicating to his crotch.

The next morning, around the same time Karliya hexed Sirius the previous day Michael and Irene Potter came home. They found Karliya in the kitchen making some coffee and sat down and had a chat about the few days and to find out how the boys had behaved.

Karliya lied through her teeth saying they were every well behaved because they scared of her, which was true in Sirius' case now.

"I was wondering Karly," Started Irene, "You haven't eh, noticed anything different happening between those two the last few days have you?"

Karliya furrowed her eyebrows, "Different how?"

Irene sighed, "Well, I've noticed them acting differently around each other since they came back from Hogwarts. You know, secretive stares, flirting even and late at night when I've walked passed James' room, there have been some odd noises coming from it."

Michael snorted, "She has it into her head that our son and his best friend are gay and together."

Karliya raised her eyebrows at Michael. It's not my place to say. It really isn't. I should warn them though. "I haven't noticed anything unusual about their behaviour towards each other. Other than the usual bickering and play fights, nothing." She checked her watch. "Listen, I have to go, mum flooed earlier asking me to go and help her with something secret."

"OK." Replied Irene.

Karliya smiled, she headed upstairs to get her stuff, on her way back down the hall she knocked on James' door.

"Who is it?"

"Karly. Can I come in? This is important."

"Yes."

Karliya opened the door and found both boys still in bed. Sirius had his head on James' chest and he appeared to still be asleep, while James had one arm wrapped round him and the other behind his bed.

"How can I help?" Asked James curiously.

"Your parents are home." Said Karliya. "But that's not what was important, what's important is your mother is very suspicious about you two now. She's noticed you flirting with each other and heard strange noises coming your room late at night. If I were you, I would tell them now to save further investigation."

"Oh god………Only mum?" Asked James. He freed himself of Sirius and sat.

"Yeah, your dad thinks she's going nuts and I said I didn't know anything about it." Replied Karliya. "Anyway, just so you know. But I have to go, mum wants to see me. No doubt to baby-sit my little brothers."

"OK, I'll see ya when we see ya." Said James tiredly.

"See ya James." Said Karliya turning to leave. James gave a feeble wave. "Bye Sirius."

"Urg." Grunted Sirius unintelligibly.

Karliya smiled and left. She said her good-byes to the Potters and left the house to go home.

Sirius and James were both dressed and sitting on James' bed talking quietly.

"I think we should tell them, like Karly said before there's any further investigation." Said James looking to his boyfriend who was very happy now.

Sirius nodded, "OK. Tell them. Now?" He was happy now because he had something to be proud of in his pants again.

"Yeah, maybe we should." Nodded James.

The two boys got up and went downstairs, both mentally going over what they might say to James' parents.

"Morning boys." Said Irene. "You're up early."

The two teens sat down in silence.

"Mum, dad, we have something we need to tell you." Said James seriously.

"What is it dear?" Asked Irene curiously.

James looked to Sirius and took a deep breath. "Sirius and I…………are gay." Michael choked on his coffee, but they ignored him. "We've been together since September last year, and before you say anything, we love each other and you can't do anything about it."

Irene sat back in her chair smugly, "What were you just saying Michael?"

Michael considered the two boys, who looked so determined, he then focused his gaze upon Sirius. "Do you honestly love him?"

"Yes. I do." Replied Sirius as James placed his hand upon his.

"Do you promise to look after him?" Asked Michael, he didn't seem angry about this revelation at all. In fact, he seemed to be sizing Sirius up as being a son-in-law.

"Yes. I will." Said Sirius. "I love him Mr. Potter. I want to be with James."

Irene smiled at the determination in her son's best friend's lover's? voice.

Michael raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure? You know he's a handful."

"Hey!" Whined James glaring at his dad. Why did he have to put Sirius on the spot like that? If he's going to kick us both out he might as well get it over with.

"I'm sure." Repeated Sirius more forcefully.

Michael stayed silent for a few moments before sighing deeply, "Welcome to the family."

A/N: How was that? Any good? Did James' parents accept them to quickly? Although I do believe his parents are reasonable, accepting, liberal type. Well they obviously had to be if their son befriended someone with Sirius' family background.

Next chapter: Peter messes up a potion during their seventh year and it explodes all over James and Sirius leaving them allergic to each other.
