Author's note: This chapter does contain explicit sexual scenes, but I kept this rating at PG-13 because no one read it at R. If you're uncomfortable with it, please don't read the bad part. There will be warnings when the bad part starts and stops. Thanks!

During the next month, many things occurred. Each morning in the Daily Prophet, a new murder by Lord Voldemort was report. This only succeeded in further pissing off many students and teachers. Lily, day by day, began to overcome her grief at her parents' death. And, at a faster rate, Lily and James and Kemmy and Sirius fell more and more in love with each other. Remus ended up breaking up with Amelia but was now quite serious with Narcissa (it's a small world after all…). James's Quidditch practice also went will with him as captain, and their first match was that first week of October. And last but not least, the animosity between James and Lucius grew evermore.

(Lily's POV)

This particular Wednesday evening, Kemmy and Narcissa were out, so I was left with the Maurauders in the Gryffindor common room.

"If I recall correctly," started Sirius, "at the beginning of term, Lily, you promised to become a Maurauder and become an Animagus and get a tattoo."

"Damn, I was hoping you'd forget about that," I muttered. "Yes, I promised. When do you want to do this?"

"We can do the tattoo right now," said Remus. "I have that book upstairs."

"Now?" I repeated.

"As good as any other time," said James.

"Yeah, let's go upstairs so no one sees," said Sirius.

"I have an idea," I said as we settled on Remus' bed. "I say I tattoo the words Princess Tiger Lily around my belly button, alternating each letter black and orange."

"Cool," said the boys.

"Ah, here it is," said Remus, pulling out a book titled Permanent Self-Modification Spells.

"You have to have someone else do it for you," said Sirius.

"I will," offered James, skimming through the article in the book. "Okay, you have to imagine your tattoo clearly in your mind."

I thought hard about it encircling my navel.

"Tattoo permanental imagio!" James chanted, pointing his wand at my stomach region.

"Let's see," said Remus.

I pulled up my sweater to reveal a perfect tattoo- just as I'd imagined it. No pain involved.

"Sexy," James commented.

"James, she could be wearing a poncho and a kilt and you'd still think it was sexy," said Sirius.

We all laughed lightly.

Later that night, at 10 o'clock, we met up with the rest of the Gryffindor seventh years and the Hufflepuffs for Astronomy.

We studied two of the moons of Jupiter: Io and Europa. It was a real bore, compared to what happened later that night.

After class, I got into a lily-scented bath around midnight. I closed my eyes and inhaled the aroma.

James knocked on the door. Of course, I assumed it was James because only he and I lived in the Head Dorm.

"Come in," I said, making sure the bubbles were covering all of me.

He walked in wearing an undershirt and crimson boxers. Nice.

Why are you taking a bath at midnight?" asked James, obviously trying to see through the bubbles.

"Because," I replied.

He sat on the edge of the porcelain tub and played with my soaked curls.

"Penny for your thoughts," he said.

"Me? Well I'm thinking," I began, "mostly about how sexy you look right about now. What about you?"

"Well, I'm trying to remember the spell that dries small bodies of water so I can get rid of these damn bubbles," James answered.

I splashed him lightly.

"Hey, you got me wet," he frowned, splashing back.

"Very observant today," I said sarcastically, flicking his knee.

"Sorry," he replied. "It's too late for me to think straight. Ah yes, aqua parchos."

The bathwater instantly evaporated.

I let out a scream and covered my "private parts" with my hands. "James Potter! How dare you!"

WARNING!!!! THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT WANT TO WITNESS THIS STOP READING NOW!!!!!

Of course, I couldn't cover everything. Some (actually much) of my breasts was showing. James was just gawking.

I looked down and saw that he was becoming hard fast .

I loosened up and moved one of my hands to pat his erection, now fully revealing my breasts.

Then he pulled me out the bathtub, and we both laid on the warm rug on the bathroom floor.

"I want you," whispered James.

"Take me, take all of me," I answered, looking deep into his eyes.

"It's my first time," he said.

"Me too," I replied. "I trust you."

He smiled and kissed me gently yet passionately, taking my breasts into his hands.

I moaned into his mouth as he rubbed my nipples.

He kissed his way down my jawbone and neck until he was nibbling on my pert nipples.

I let out a little scream of delight and pulled off his undershirt.

He licked around my navel, where I'd just got my tattoo, while his fingers walked up and down my inner thighs.

I slid my hands into his boxers and rubbed his erection as he slid his tongue into me and around my clitoris.

We both moaned at the pleasure we were giving each other.

I pulled down on his boxers to signify that I was ready.

"Hurry," I urged.

He slid his boxers down the rest of the way, and looked me straight in the eye.

"I love you," he whispered.

I grinned and replied, "I love you, too."

He penetrated me slowly so I could get used to it.

At first there was a sharp, tearing pain and I gripped his tanned and muscular shoulders with my nails, but then it dulled into a gentle aching pleasure.

He went in all the way, and we started a rhythm together, all the time never leaving each other's gaze, love etched in our faces.

After some more moans and screams, we started to climax. My world shattered into a million pieces and I saw stars everywhere.

We both fell into a sweaty heap on the rug.

"Wow," I said weakly.

"That," he panted, "was the best experience of my life."

"I love you like you could never imagine," I professed.

"If this was something to go by, I can sure imagine," he said.

I laughed gently and fell asleep in his arms.

NASTY PART DONE!!! THOSE OF YOU WHO WEREN'T WITH ME CAN READ AGAIN NOW!

The next morning we awoke around 7:30.

As we got dressed, we must've said "I love you" fifty times.

I walked gingerly down to breakfast, feeling pain in places I had never hurt before.

"Can I sit with the girls?" I asked.

"Sure," he answered.

I gave him a chaste kiss goodbye and called Narcissa to sit with Kemmy and me.

"Well good morning!" I said cheerfully, slathering some toast with marmalade. "It's an oh-so-good day and I'm simply ravenous!"

"Oh dear God. I haven't seen you this happy since who knows when!" commented Narcissa.

"Yeah," chorused in Kemmy. "What happened?"

They watched me wolf down my food as I stared at James, and suddenly something clicked in their heads.

"Oh my God! You had sex!" shrieked Narcissa.

"Shh!" I whispered, clamping my hand around her mouth. "Tell the whole world, why don't you?"

Suddenly I was engulfed.

"Was it good?"

"I told you it would be. I slept with Amos Diggory once, he wasn't good at all."

"James's hands look big. Did they feel good on you?"

"No wonder you're so hungry."

"Yes, it was good," I began. "And you're sick, Cissa. Why'd you sleep with Amos when you didn't love him? Uh, yes, James's hands are nice. And please pass the eggs."

Kemmy handed me the desired food and said, "Well I was waiting to tell you guys, but, well, last week Sirius and I-"

"Don't tell me you did it, too," said Narcissa.

"Well, yeah…" smiled Kemmy.

"Then I guess I better 'fess up, too," Cissa shrugged.

"WITH REMUS?" Kemmy and I screamed.

Remus and the rest of the Maurauders looked over to us, and all six of us blushed like ripe tomatoes.

(James's POV)

I sat down between Sirius and Remus with a manic grin on my face.

I was only halfway through breakfast (only) when I realized they'd been staring at me the whole time.

"What?" I asked.

"Now Sirius is a very wise person," began Sirius.

I snorted.

"Really," he continued. "And Sirius is wondering exactly why James is very cheerful and quite out of it, and why he hasn't taken his eyes off Lily."

"And James says that is his personal information and would Sirius please stop talking in the third person," I said.

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush," said Sirius. "I know you slept with her."

"So," I shrugged.

"I knew because I acted the same way you're acting when I did it."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"The same reason you weren't going to tell me," replied Sirius.

"And for the same reason I haven't told you guys until now," said Remus.

"You're that serious with Narcissa?" I asked him.

"I think we're in love now," said Remus with a dreamy look on his face.

"We are all lovesick fools," noticed Sirius.

"Cheers," I said, clinking orange juice glasses with the others.

"WITH REMUS?" we heard two girls scream. We looked over to the three girls and blushed.
