Sweet-single: Was it the sappiness that made you cry?

Brunette89: He he, get that cavity checked out!

Rin: Here's more my dear friend! Doesn't matter that you've already read it does it?

Eleonora1: No, no, you wouldn't be allergic to Sev and Rem, who would want to be? You know, I think I've only ever written one JP/SB, despite all the other couples I've done so many times (NOT IN THAT WAY, YOU DIRTY MIND!) He he, I swear I didn't think anything dirty! I hate plot bunnies.

Chapter 6: The One With The Letter

Being loved by James was something Sirius thought he would never tire of. Most of the rest of the school couldn't understand what Sirius saw in James, because the James they saw was the arrogant, loud, smart mouthed, hot but annoying bastard. But Sirius saw something nobody else saw.

Sirius saw the romantic, caring, gentle side of James. He felt the tender kisses and the loving caresses when they made love………

Sirius decided to stop thinking about those things before it went to far and he had to have a cold shower, after all, he was in public in full view of everybody in the Common Room.

The 7th Year's exams were over and they had a week to lounge around the school and go to Hogsmeade before their Graduation at the end of term feast in from of the rest of the school.

Sirius was lying on the floor in front of the empty fire with his hands behind his head thinking of his fiancé obviously. James was sitting on a chair with his feet dangling over one of the arms talking to Remus, Peter, of course, was fretting about what his exam results might be and Dani, Lily and the other girls in their year in Gryffindor were reading trashy magazines and saying rather bitchy and scathing remarks about the Slytherins.

Sirius suddenly got up, "I'm going for a walk." He announced. "Anyone want to come?"

"I'm sure James does." Said Dani slyly from the table she was sitting at. She immediately got hit in the head with a cushion from James' direction.

Sirius looked to James hopefully.

"Fine. I'll come with you." Sighed James beginning to get up.

"Oh don't make it sound like such a hard ship." Said Sirius grabbing James' hand and dragging him out the portrait hole.

They walked in silence for a little way until James spoke.

"Where are we going?" He asked curiously as they walked hand in hand down a corridor leading to the Entrance Hall staircase.

"For a walk." Replied Sirius. "Like I said."

James let go of his hand and slipped an arm around Sirius' waist, "Your walks are usually innate of something else."

Sirius grinned at him, "OK, so maybe sex by the lake, but, you know, if you really don't want to we don't have to." Sirius cast a sly look at James.

James smirked and stopped them at the top of the Entrance Hall staircase and kissed Sirius hotly on the mouth, "Why ever would you think that Mr. Padfoot?"

Sirius kept his arms around James' neck where they had ended up, "I don't know Mr. Prongs, maybe it's your annoying questioning nature or your Head Boy persona?"

James leaned his head down and nipped at Sirius' neck, "Just because I'm the Head Boy, it doesn't mean I don't want to shag you senseless beside the lake."

Sirius smiled, "Let's go then." With that said and done, Sirius took James' hand again and dragged him outside.

The couple walked slowly along the lake's shore – the furthest side from the school and to a secluded spot shrouded by trees where they knew nobody would find them if the decided to look.

Not much was said between the two as they started kissing. James slid his hands down Sirius' sides and then back up his front to the clasps of his robes and undid them. He pushed the robes off Sirius' lean shoulders and let them fall in a black pool around his feet; James started kissing down Sirius' neck when he discovered his lover was topless underneath the robes he had been wearing.

Sirius completely surrendered himself to James' mouth and roaming, stroking hands. He honestly couldn't care less if he was the submissive partner. Who would want to interfere when you were being loved by James Potter?

James and Sirius didn't get back to the Common Room until well after it was dark because they had been sitting together under a tree talking about anything and everything. The topics ranged from Quidditch, to their friends, their upcoming Graduation and finally their engagement and the marriage they would have to plan.

"Look on the bright side," Said James, "At least we can have two Best Men."

Sirius sighed, "No offense to Pete or anything, but, I wouldn't trust him with something like that."

"True." Agreed James. "But Moony might feel threatened if he's getting bossed around by both of us."

Sirius smirked, "That's his problem. But he's with Dani remember? Nobody's as bossy as her."

"Yeah."

Sirius rested his head on James' shoulder and sniffed, he had hayfever and the potion he took that morning for it had started to wear off. "You smell like dirt."

"You don't smell all that fresh yourself." Replied James earning a feeble his in the stomach, but it was one that would still make Peter's punches seem pathetic. "Are you trying to hurt me?" He got a proper shove in the ribs this time. "Ow…………"

"Shut up Potter." Said Sirius in mock annoyance.

James grinned and kissed his head, "You'll be a Potter soon."

"I may hate my family but I'm not changing my name." Replied Sirius sitting up properly and stretching. "Anyway, who said we were taking your name?"

"Me." Smiled James, he pulled Sirius' face towards his and kissed him gently. "Plus, James Black doesn't sound right."

"Neither does Sirius Potter." Pointed out Sirius wrinkling his nose in disgust.

James grinned, "Ok, we'll keep our own names."

Sirius nodded, "Deal."

James looked out across the lake and then up at the castle, he saw some of the lights go out, "Hey you think maybe we should head back in? I know we've finished school now but I don't particularly want to get growled at by Filch again."

Sirius nodded in agreement, "Me neither."

The couple got off the ground and brushed themselves off before heading back up to the school hand in hand. They managed to get back up to Gryffindor Tower without being stopped, they went into the Common Room and found it completely deserted and dimly lit.

"Guess nobody cares enough to see if we're still alive or not." Commented James as he led Sirius up to his room.

When they got up to his room, Sirius kicked his shoes off, dropped his robes to the floor and crawled into the bed and curled up under the covers.

James smiled at him, "Tired then?"

Sirius grunted in response.

James stripped down to his boxers and got into bed and curled up around Sirius. One thing James liked about Sirius was the fact that he curled perfectly into his arms.

Four Days Later: GRADUATION DAY

None of the Marauders surfaced from bed until about midday on their Graduation day. Peter was too nervous to eat so he stayed in the Dorm packing his stuff, while Remus, Sirius and James headed down to the Great Hall for their lunch looking like they had been in a storm of some sort. All of them and not just James had messy hair that you wouldn't be able to get a brush through and they had barely gotten dressed beforehand.

As they sat down for lunch McGonagall came down from the Head Table to speak to James.

"James."

"Professor?" Replied James curtly. McGonagall was the only teacher he was a gentleman towards, mainly because he knew if he wasn't it would get back to his parents straight away and he'd get in trouble.

"I trust you have your speech for tonight written?" Asked McGonagall.

James nodded, "Yup. Completely devoid of derogatory comments and swearing like you asked."

"Very good." Replied McGonagall, "Now, follow me. The Headmaster would like to speak with you."

James groaned and got up and followed McGonagall up to the Head Table where he was taken off to the side to speak with McGonagall and Dumbledore.

"Wonder what that's about?" Said Sirius watching them curiously.

Remus shrugged, "Who knows?"

Dani came and sat down with them from where she had been sitting further down the table, "McGonagall's retiring."

"You're kidding!"

Dani shook her head, "Dumbledore announced it at breakfast this morning, he said they already have somebody in mind to take over Transfiguration."

"Wow." Said Sirius, "That's sudden. She's not that old. If anybody should be retiring it should be Dumbledore, I mean, he's ancient."

James soon came back to the table smiling proudly.

"What'd they want?" Asked Sirius tentatively.

James grinned, "I got me self a job."

"You're the person they had in mind for McG's job?" Questioned Dani raising her eyebrows.

James nodded, "Professor Potter. I could get used to that. I get to tell all these brats off as well." He said looking around the hall.

"Congratulations."

Sirius leaned over the table and gave him a kiss on the mouth, causing a few eyebrow raises in their direction. Hardly any of the school had actually seen these two show public displays of affection before.

Dani had an almost dreamy look on her face causing Remus to elbow her in the side, after that she punched him in the shoulder.

Sirius and James sat back down both looking quite proud now.

"So you start next term then?" Asked Remus as he buttered a roll.

James nodded, "Yeah, I can't believe she's retiring though. I wonder if my parents know?"

The others just shrugged.

An owl suddenly flew into the hall and dropped a letter in front of Sirius.

As soon as the young Black saw the handwriting his heart sank as he picked it up. "What the fuck do they want?" He grumbled quietly as he tore into the letter.

"Your parents?" Asked James frowning.

"Yeah………" Replied Sirius as he read over it. The further down he read the more upset he became, until in the end he got up and ran out of the hall with the letter crunched up in his hand.

A/N: He he he, another two parter cliffhanger thing.
