Many of you may notice that some of the characters in
this story are the same as that of Lily Evans; A History by Bethany.
That is because this story was written by members of the Lily Evans; A History forum with Bethany's consent.

Lily Evans walked blindly through the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She wasn't even sure where she was intending to go when all of sudden she walked straight into James Potter.
"Heyya Lil," said James softly, "Watchya been up to?"
"Err, well nothing really," Lily looked at James and knew she had never given up on her feelings for him. She looked into his deep hazel eyes. She had spent so much time thinking about him that she new she still felt the same as always. It was at this moment she knew she wouldn't care what happened afterwards, she just wanted one small kiss from her boy-hood crush. Unknowingly she drew closer to James. Slowly the distance between them became smaller and smaller. Lily never broke eye contact until there lips met and her eyes instantly closed.
James slowly realised what was happening and lifted his hand to her cheek leaning into the kiss with enough force to push her up against the wall. Lily's heart fluttered and her pulse raced. Her mind fogged over in a blissful haze. She never wanted this to end.
--------
Peter Pettigrew walked straight past Sirius and his girlfriend, Kassie Philips on his way to the Gryffindor common room. Instead of investigating the couple he skirted around them. If he had looked all he would have seen was Sirius snogging Kassie senseless.
"I-- I-- I love you, Sirius," Kassie whispered against his neck.
"I love you too, Baby." Sirius moaned into her ear which he was currently nibbling.
Instead Peter turned and went the other way, only his wand light to guide him. A brighter person than himself would have brought the Marauder's Map, but no one had ever accused Peter knowingly of being a bright person. So he walked on, obviously to the fact that he was being followed. "Dang them and their hormones," Peter muttered to himself as he walked. "How in the hell do I get back to Gryffindor tower, anyway?"
"This way!" a voice suddenly said from behind.
Peter jumped, spinning around and tripping on his cloak. He fell flat on his face, his jaw slapping the stone floor. "Owww..." he moaned. "Who's there? Show yourself!" Peter said stupidly from his position on the floor.
A figure walked into the pool of light coming from Peter's wand and bent down to examine him. "Wormtail, that looked like it hurt, mate."
Peter looked up, horrified to see James and Lily standing above him. "W-What are you doing here?" he asked, scrambling to his feet and touching his aching jaw.
"We are here to snog right in front of you," James said simply. He pointed his wand at Peter, tying him up. "Now don't go anywhere." he added, chuckling as he dragged Lily towards him and kissed her.
Peter watched horror struck as James and Lily just kept kissing. After a few minutes he got very bored and started to drift off into sleep.
Lily was pulled closer to James again, and brushed her lips against his briefly before pulling away grinning.
"Aww Lils, don't tease me like that!" pouted James
"Did I hurt wittle James' feelings?" replied Lily with mock concern.
"Mmm-hmm, so how are you going to make it up to me?" asked James playfully.
"Like this," Lily pulled James closer and kissed him softy on the lips again. Slowly she opened her mouth slightly and touched her tongue to his bottom lip. James was shocked for a split second before properly reacting.
James' hand found her face and he slowly caressed her cheek. His other hand went up to her head as he spread his fingers through her red hair. His fingers cupped her head as he pulled her as close as she could.
Lily deepened the kiss, longingly. This was what she had always wanted, to stand in some dark hallway and kiss James Potter. It was still a new feeling to her, and she still tried to convince herself that this was real, that she was not actually dreaming; that his lips were really pressed up against hers, and his tongue was really exploring her mouth. The thought that it really was him made her smile a little as she let out a small moan into his mouth.
James couldn't hold back his smile. He had made Lily moan. He pulled back from the kiss to survey the scene. Some where between kissing and... well, kissing, he had pushed her up against a wall and had his hands on either side of her, trapping her in place. His body held hers against the wall.
His eyes flickered to her piercing Green. If the kiss didn't take his breath away, the look in her eyes did. Lily's eyes looked so warm and inviting, all he wanted to do was kiss her again. He leaned in closer to her mouth before...
"What do we have here?"
James jumped off Lily like the speed of light, his face bright red to turn and face a smug Sirius and Kassie.
"Gee, what does it look like Sirius? James is snogging another random girl," said Kassie, rolling her eyes.
"Wha…what? She's not some random girl!"
"Honestly James, what do you think Lily would say?"
"I'd say I like it," replied Lily. Kassie nearly fell to the floor in embarrassment and shock. After she got over her shock a grin split her face.
"So you two finally got together then?"
"Looks like it," replied James dryly, "Now if you will excuse us, I think it's time for you all to leave, and do take Peter with you...his snoring is getting to me."
Sirius grumbled slightly as he pulled Peter off the floor by the ropes. "Stupid James...snogging Lily..." "Take Peter away, Sirius, I want to snog Lily...honestly he's such a... a...I don't know what he is but as soon as I do you'll be the first to know. I mean he didn't even tell me he and Lily got together...."
"Sirius!" Kassie interrupted, "They just got together, give them a break. If they need to snog in dark hallways, by all means let them. Do you remember when we first got together? We were in every hall in every corridor. I don't know how often we were caught snogging, but it was a lot."
"Kassie?" Sirius asked
"Hmmm?"
"Will you marry me?"
Kassie turned her face flushing as she stared at Sirius. For years she had been shrugging him off, but just this once she thought she'd get him all but good. Trying to contain her grin, she said, "Yes."
Sirius' mouth fell open in shock and he dropped Peter. The shorter wizard slept on, oblivious. He swallowed. "I'm serious."
Kassie decided to ignore the possible pun there and she tilted her head to the side, looking in his eyes. "Who said I wasn't?"
Sirius was stunned for half a moment before he lunged on to Kassie, smothering her in loving kisses all over her face and neck. Between each kiss he muttered 'I love you' 'I love you' 'I love Kassandra Phillips'
All Kassie could do was sit there and giggle, since she couldn't exactly throw Sirius off of her. Plus there was also the fact she always loved it when he did that. A thought suddenly occurred to Kassie.
"Sirius...Sirius...hold it for a second," she said between kisses.
"What is it my love?" asked Sirius with delight.
"Err, are you going to propose again?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Will you purpose again... properly. You know, flowers candles..."
"And dinner and dancing under the moonlight? Yes indeed! It will be the best proposal you ever had!" grinned Sirius cheekily.
"Ha-ha, you realise I never have had one before? Well, except the many... MANY times you have asked me,"
"Why did you say yes?" asked Sirius off handedly.
"Because I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Kassie's voice trembled as she said this.
"Really?" Sirius asked his jaw dropping. "No jokes. You want to be with me forever?"
"Of course I do, Sirius. Don't you want to be with me for forever?" she asked eyes pleading with his.
Sirius paused before saying his next words and Kassie's heart just about shattered. 'He doesn't want to be with me forever.' she thought tears welling in her eyes.
"It's just..." Sirius started but paused again. Kassie was having a hard time keeping the negative thoughts out now. ".... I've never had someone say that to me before. From the first time I laid eyes on you I wanted to hold you and kiss you and be with you for all eternity. I never ever in my whole life thought I'd meet the perfect girl. But here you are. And it's like a freaking miracle that we even found each other let alone that you said yes to me. And... Kassie what's wrong?" For tears were now streaming down her face like rivers. "What did I say wrong?"
Kassie hiccupped and wiped the tears away. "Nothing. You said every right. Everything was perfect. Now ask me again."
"Kassandra Leigh Phillips, will you marry me? Because I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Yes! Yes! Yes, of course I will!" And Kassie threw her arms around his neck and pulled him down into a sweet kiss. Sirius wound his hands through her black hair, cupping the back of her head and pulling her closer. Kassie played with the short hair at the base of his neck and deepened the kiss.
Sirius pulled away and smiled at Kassie."What?" she asked
"C'mon, I want to show you something." And Sirius grabbed her hand and started to pull her away.
"Wait, Sirius. What about Peter?"
"What about him?"
"We can't just leave him there. Do something."
"All right, all right." Sirius poked Peter in the ribs. Peter snorted in his sleep but didn't wake. "Oy, Pete, get up." He shook the other boy and this time Peter did wake. "Finite." Sirius whispered and helped the other boy up. "Go to bed, mate. I'll see you later," Sirius pushed Peter in the right direction and Peter stumbled away. "Now let's go."
Sirius pulled Kassie along to a closet and opened the door. "Oops, sorry mate. We'll find another closet. Who's that you're with Moony?"
"Erm, well this is Julie. Julie this is Sirius and Kassie,"
"Uh, hi," Julie said smiling.
"Hi," Sirius and Kassie simultaneously
"Well, mate," Remus said grabbing the door handle, "I'll be seeing you later then." and he slammed the door shut in their faces. "Now," Remus said to Julie, "where were we?"
"I think we were right about here," Julie pulled Remus down into a kiss.
"Ah, right," Remus whispered against her mouth. Julie giggled and then deepened the kiss, but in the middle of the kiss the door opened again. "What now?" Remus moaned.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" a voice cackled. It was Filch. Julie and Remus stood there with shock plastered on their face. Julie was frozen in fear.
"STUPEFY"
And Filch keeled over right outside the door.
Remus stuck his head out to see who would be so bold.
James and Lily were standing there giggling to themselves.
"Run" James said, "we'll deal with this."
And Without another glance back Remus and Julie bolted up the corridor.
After running for what seemed like hours Remus slowed down almost to a stop.
"Where and what do we do now Julie," said Remus
"Well," said Julie "There's a nice dark little alcove I found in my second year here. Don't ask how. Maybe we should just hide in there for a little bit until Filch has calmed down."
"Sounds like a plan," said Remus
So Julie dragged him further along the corridor until she found her secret place.
"Here we are," she whispered quietly as she pulled on Remus' robe stepping backwards until she bumped into something.
"Ohhh, ouch," it said and Julie turned with a fright and stepping out of the light came Sirius and Kassie looked slightly put out and a little ruffled.
"Er, Hullo again!" said Julie smiling.
"Hello... are you down here for a reason?" asked Sirius annoyed.
"Filch caught us, but then James knocked him unconscious, and told us to run away... so we did," replied Remus knowledgeably.
"No worries, we'll leave you two at it," cut in Julie, still clutching Remus' hand, "How about we go to the shrieking shack?" Remus paled.
"Did you just say the Shrieking Shack?" asked Remus.
"Um...no. Hey look at the time! I've got to avoid awkward questions right now, tootles!" replied Julie quickly, and regrettably dropping Remus' hand she started in the opposite direction. Remus stared after her before he yelled out "Julie sweetie wait," Remus ran up to her and took her hand.
"I'm sorry Juls I have just had a long week. Maybe you should come with me I need to tell you something."
"Ok" Julie suppressed a sniffle "Where do you want to go," she asked.
"How about the library I know a place where we can talk quietly," and with that Remus slipped his arm around Julie's waist and set off for their talk.
Remus walked at a very fast pace towards the library. Julie was getting a little panicky about what he had to tell her that was so important. Every now and then she would steal glances at him when she thought he wasn't looking and after a while noticing a small amount of sweat on his forehead.
"This must be drastic" she thought to herself but hurried along just as fast.
Remus pulled Julie into the Library and along 3 shelves of books and down the fourth isle. Until he reached the middle section where he started scanning the shelves.
Julie looked at him a little puzzled.
"Remus, what are you looking for? I thought we were having a talk."
"Shhhh," Remus said, "I need to concentrate for two seconds." Remus continued to look until he came past a book.
"Advanced Transfiguration," Julie said "What's that have to do with our talk Remus?"
Starting to look more worried, Remus pulled the book half way out of the shelf and pressed the three gems on the side of the book suddenly a walk way big enough for one reasonably small person appeared in the shelf.
"After you my dear," Remus said as Julie walked past him into the next room.
Julie stood looking at her surroundings there was a little wine rack in the left corner and a bed it looked like the most comfortable bed Julie had ever seen.
"No," Julie thought to herself "Remus wanted to talk to me not hmm." anyway.
"Remus you wanted to talk so what do you want to talk about."
"I think you need to sit down sweetheart this might come as a bit of a shock."
Julie looked at him nervously but sat down on the edge of the bed anyway willing to get herself comfortable.
"You know I really like you Julie you're the best girl I have seen in a long, long time."
Here Remus stopped to let what he just said sink into Julie's head.
"But there is something you need to know about me before we continue with this great thing I think we have. I also need to know how you feel about me before I tell you this."
Julie tried to speak but found nothing would come out
"I, I, I," she stammered. "I love you." she said rather fast and in one breath. "Remus nothing you could say or do to me is going to change that!"She leant forward and placed a sweet kiss on his lips.
Remus was slightly shocked. "I think I love you too, Julie, I really do, nothing has felt this right in sooo long, this is why I brought you here. I need to tell you this before it goes further and we break each others hearts."
"Just tell me, please Remus."
"Ok here goes," he took a deep long breath. "Julie sweetheart I'm a werewolf."
Julie stared wide eyed at Remus for a couple of minutes.
"Is that it?" she said sounding relieved "all you wanted to tell me was that you are a werewolf."
"Yea," Remus said a little down about having to tell her he really wished he was a full human sometimes it always seemed to hurt him more when he saw the girls run away from him.
"Remus look at me please," Julie said with a stern note in her voice.
Remus looked up as if he was just noticing she was still there.
"Remus when I said I loved you I meant it. People are supposed to accept there friends and lovers for who they are."
Here Remus set out a sigh of relief Julie was the only girl he had ever told about his condition and she didn't flinch at the sight of him.
I love you sooo much Julie, I hope you understand that now I can never let you go."
"I don't ever want you to let me go," Julie said in a whisper.
--------
Meanwhile Sirius and Kassie weird pondering just who this Julie girl was
"Remus seems to be spending an awful lot of time with her" Kassie said to Sirius as the got back to Gryffindor common room. It was now 3am on Sunday morning and Remus was not back yet.
"I wonder what house she's in," Sirius replied
"She's a Ravenclaw if you must know Sirius," Remus had snuck in quietly behind them.
"Remus, mate, where have ya been?" Sirius yelled slinging his arm over Remus' shoulder.
"I've been with Julie, you should have guessed that by now Sirius! I thought you were a smart."
"Smart arse more like it," Kassie replied.
"Yea but you love me though," Sirius put on his best puppy dog face and his eyes had a mischievous sparkle to them.
Remus was just about to head up to his bed when Sirius reached out still looking at Kassie with a twinkle of lust and grabbed Remus robes.
"So, when, where, and how?" Sirius asked in one breath.
Remus realised he wasn't going to get away as easy as this was Sirius and getting away from him was very difficult when he wanted answers.
"Well," Remus said with a sigh as he sat down on the couch facing the fire.
"Her name is Julie Walsh and she's a 5th year Ravenclaw," Remus said this a little too fast Sirius was eyeing him with great interest by this point.
"AND," Sirius urged on.
"OK, OK I'm getting there," Remus replied, "I met her one day after Potions class. Remember when I said I had left my homework on animagi in Transfiguration and I doubled back to get it?"
"Yea," Said Kassie and Sirius simultaneously.
"Well, Julie was there talking to Professor McGonagall about her O.W.L.S, I think, and I couldn't help it I was transfixed."
"Ohhh," Kassie said "That's sooo sweet Remus. So when did you guys actually hook up."
"It was a couple of weeks ago, actually," Remus replied it was getting late he had had a long day and Julie was a very active girl he was just thinking of how cozy his bed would be when he was brought back to earth by Sirius speaking.
"And you are officially going out or are you just snogging in closets?" Sirius asked sounding very...well serious
"Well I told her about... you know?" and Remus made some weird gesture with his hands.
"You told her about the map?!" Sirius sounded shocked.
"No, you prat. I told her about my being a werewolf," Remus slapped the back of Sirius' head.
"Ow, that hurt. And why the hell did you do a thing like that, Moony?" This time Sirius was shocked.
"Well, I mean.... I think I.... well.... I love her. And I couldn't lie to her about where I was every month, so I took to that place in the library and told her. And she was ok with it."
"But..." Kassie's mouth dropped open
"I know I love her, Kassie. There's just something about her that makes me feel special around her."
--------
Meanwhile Julie was wandering the Astronomy tower when she heard a crash from behind.
"Who's there," she asked preparing her wand.
"Oh, it's you, Julie," out of a doorway to the side came Samantha one of Julie's best mates.
"What are you doing up here... AND DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!"
"Ok, ok I'm sorry Jules, geez, I just thought you were Filch, sorry. He's always trying to come up here and catch people," Sam said sounding slightly angry. "As if that squib has nothing better to do, GEEZ. Sometimes I just want to so badly to kick him"
"Anyway," Julie said snapping Sam out of her Squib hating rant.
"What would you be doing up here, and doing it with, I might add."
"Uh, ummm, yea, well, you see it's kind of hard to explain," Samantha stammered a little and Julie noticed she was getting nervous.
"Hey, come on Sam, it's ok! I understand, I'm a girl too remember," Swinging her arm over Sam's shoulder, "You can tell me who! I won't say, I promise."
Next minute Julie heard another noise coming from somewhere behind Samantha.
"Sam who is that?" she pressed on urgently.
Just then Severus Snape stepped out of the darkness.
"What in the name of Merlin?!" Julie looked like someone had cast the imperious charm on her. Her face was emotionless just staring from Samantha to Snape.
"Its okay, Julie, me and Severus are 'Together' we just didn't want anyone to know right now considering the reputations of Slytherins."
"But, but, but," Julie was just transfixed it was like she had had the grey lady just glide through her.
Finally she got out what she had thought was a lump in her throat "He's a Slytherin for crying out loud," and with that she pulled her wand on him.
Snape's eye's were like pools of black oil, but just then he opened his mouth almost to speak in his defense when there was another crash coming from the stairs. But neither party was really worried about who caught them right now.
"What a situation to walk in on," came a cheerful voice.
Julie and Samantha let out a sigh then stiffened again as they saw the stern looking grey eyes of there very own Defense teacher Professor Malfoy.
"Ummm, Uh, ummm, Mmm," Julie and Sam stammered together.
"Sooooo," Professor Malfoy drawled. "What a cozy little place for a meeting. I wonder what is so good about this little hide out at night," Her eyes landed straight on Snape at this point. "And someone from my own house I would never have believed it." She stared around at Julie and Samantha.
"Ravenclaw girls, am I right?"
"Yes, Professor," Julie said nervously. Staring in those cold grey eyes was very disturbing at times.
"10 points from each of you ladies," she said with a smirk. "And Detention Mr. Snape, I suggest you follow me to your common room, it is out of hours you realise."
--------
Kassie and Sirius were sitting in the common room staring wide eyed at Remus "You love her or you think you love her," Kassie said sounding in awe.
"I LOVE her," Remus replied " I really, really do I wouldn't tell her about my Werewolf condition if I didn't! You guys, Peter, James, and Lily are the only ones that know."
"Excuse me I have to go find her now," Remus quickly got up and left via the portrait hole.
Sirius and Kassie stared at each other with amusement.
"Now, where were we?" Sirius said to Kassie with a smirk his playful eyes back in motion.
Next minute the portrait hole opened and in walked James and Lily looking extremely snug.
"I wonder where Remus and that Julie girl have got too," Lily said to James.
"Well, they sure as heck aren't here. Remus just left to find her," Sirius said making sure his voice sounded annoyed about being interrupted again.
Lily and James jumped at Sirius's voice.
"What are you doing here," Lily and James asked simultaneously.
"Well last time I checked this was the Gryffindor common room, geez, and people think I'm the dummy."
"We could ask you the same thing," Kassie said with a smug look spread over her face. "Remus said you guys said saved him and Julie from Filch. How did you manage that without getting in trouble with another teacher?" Here she sounded very impressed with them both.
"Well see there's the thing," explained Lily, "He couldn't exactly tell anyone," she trailed off.
"What? Why not?" asked Kassie.
"We kind of threw him in the closet and ran away."
Silence greeted Lily's statement.
"That's better than I thought!" exclaimed Sirius, "Wait, that shouldn't have taken you long to do that. So where have you been?"
James turned brick red, "Well, we were searching for another closet... because we wanted to play Exploding Snap... in the dark... after hours... in a closet... it's fun, you know? But before we could find one we ran in to Snivellus."
"Oh, no! Not that grease bag!" groaned Kassie.
"Well what happened?" asked Sirius with delight.
"We thought he'd pull his wand or take points or something, but he didn't. It was so odd, but then he said something that made our jaws drop," responded James, ending his last sentence. After a few long seconds Sirius finally said,
"WELL, WHAT DID HE SAY!"
"Oh, you wanted to know? He said something about a 'Hot Date' I thought that someone had already messed him up, so we just turned and left."
"And that's what taken you so long?" asked Sirius, arching his eyebrow.
"We, uh, decided to play exploding snap," responded Lily uncertainly.
Kassie patted Lily's arm. "Of course you did sweetie."
Lily was saved from answering as Remus re-entered the common room.
"I thought you were going to look for Julie?" asked Kassie.
"I was, and then I remembered the map might help."
"Oh yeah, it's upstairs in my trunk," replied James.
"Alright thanks," replied Remus as he bounded up the staircase towards the boys dorm. He began searching around until he heard a voice.
"There you are!" Remus jumped and turned around to see Julie standing in front of his bed.
"What? But, but…how?!" gaped Remus.
"It's amazing what you can do with a broom and an open window," she grinned happily.
"Look Julie, I don't think..." Julie cut him off with a kiss,
"Remus, its 3:30 in the morning, its bedtime! Sleep. Now. Good," She led him to the bed and fell asleep in his arms.
Slowly all of the Marauders and the girls drifted up to their rooms to fall asleep, thinking about the very odd day they had, had.
--------
The next morning Remus woke up to a strange feeling. There was extra heat coming from the left side of his body. Slowly he tilted his head down to see the sleeping form of Julie, her arm draped over his chest. He gently ran his fingers though her hair, careful not to wake her.
On the other side of the room Sirius was getting up in his groggy state. He didn't make a noise because he knew his mates would want to sleep, even if he couldn't. Sirius slowly trudged down to the common room before taking a step back to check the time. It was 6 AM, he wondered if anyone else was awake. Surprisingly Kassie was.
Kassie lounged peacefully on the soft velvet couch in the Gryffindor common room, all alone. Lily was and the Marauders were currently sleeping in, like every normal person, leaving Kassie alone to read her book. She became so engrossed in her book that she didn't notice her boyfriend, the one and only Sirius Black, had entered the common room from the boys staircase. Upon entering Sirius eyes locked on to Kassie's relaxed form. She looked so angelic to him, sitting there oblivious to the world around her. He quietly made his way around the couch to the other side of her. She gave him no recognition, so he plopped down on to the couch beside her. Kassie jumped,
"Sirius! You scared me half to death!" exclaimed Kassie.
"Awe, don't I always?" asked Sirius with a smile. Kassie just smiled and gave him a loving kiss. As she began to pull back his hands went around the back of her head and neck pulling her closer to him, unwilling to let go of her. Kassie just smiled knowingly and prepared herself for the usual make-out session, as was common between the two of them. Sirius stopped pulling her closer to him and just sat there with his arms around her kissing her softly. Even after being together for so long, neither had lost the spark that happened when they kissed. Kassie's heart started to beat faster, her blood rushing, and her mind in a blissful haze.
After a few moments of kissing Sirius began to push her down through the force of his kisses. She lay with her back firmly squashed between Sirius and the couch. Sirius kissed her with a new wave of passion and exhilaration. He finally broke away from her mouth to drop kisses along her jaw line, all the way up to her ear.
"I love you," he told her huskily, going back to kissing her.
"I love you too," she breathed.
Sirius' hand moved down her sides and towards her stomach and he lightly traced circles with his fingers on her flesh. He went back to kissing her passionately as his hands slowly slid up, raising her shirt with them.
"Sirius…wait, Sirius," Kassie pleaded with him. Regret tore across his features and sorrow filled his eyes.
"Kas, I... I'm so sorry. I know what you think about sex. I'm really sorry; you know I'm not going to pressure you into anything you don't want to do. I jus-"
Kassie silenced him with a short but meaningful kiss, "I just tried to say, not here. We can't here. I know that you know somewhere better than this."
Sirius took a moment to understand exactly what she meant. Slowly he let his grin re-surface as he bent down to kiss her. Without breaking his kiss he got to his feet and out his left arm around her back while his right went underneath her legs. He lifted her up to carry her off as she let a small gasp from the sudden movement. Slowly she pulled back and snuggled her head into his chest, allowing him to carry her though random rooms and doors she never knew existed. Slowly they stopped in a large old room. It was almost empty except for a few old and dusty chairs. But before she could make any comment he transfigured one of the chairs into a giant king sized bed. He transfigured another chair into a muggle radio, and it began to play a few soft songs in the background.
He walked back up to her and began to kiss her softly, yet forcefully. She brushed her hands up to his shirt and broke the kiss momentarily to pull his white shirt over his head She threw it to the side and ran her hands down his bare back. His hands went for her shirts buttons. He fumbled awkwardly with them as his hands were shaking with the realization that this was indeed Kassie, and this was really happening. He unbuttoned the last one and let his hands slip up her sides. He drew her closer as his hands firmly grasped her shoulders and let his hands slide down her arms, taking the shirt with it. He let his hands fall to her bra, unhooking it with great ease.
A blush crept up onto Kassie's face as she realized that she was completely topless for the first time in front of him. He just pulled her closer to him, kissing her with more urgency. His right hand cupped her head pulling her deeper into the kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth, while his left hand dropped down to her skirt. She let him pull her closer towards him as her hands dropped down to rid them both of his belt. Sirius' lips left hers and began to travel down towards her neck. His breathing was rough and ragged, as if he were panting. Kassie had undone his pants button and began to pull at his pants to let them fall to the ground. With one swift kick he sent them to the other side of the room. Kassie's skirt fell to Sirius' will shortly after that. They continued to undress each other until they were left with nothing but the warmth of each others hands around them. Slowly Sirius led Kassie to the bed. He slowly pushed her down until he lay completely on top of her. Sirius pulled away from the kiss and looked down on her.
"I don't think I can hold back anymore," he told Kassie, giving her one last chance to back out.
"Then don't."
--------
Sirius and Kassie lay together afterward in each others arms. His hand played with her hair, as she lay beside him, happily remembering what had happened. Sirius moved his other hand over to hers, grabbed hold and pulled it up to his mouth. He gave her a kiss on the back of her hand, turned to her and whispered "I love you Kassie," She looked up at him and knew that her heart in his hands, and she loved it. She smiled back at him and whispered
"I love you too Sirius."
--------
Just as dawn broke the window of the Gryffindor boys dorm room Julie was slowly waking from her sleep. As she went to roll over she realised she was not alone.
As she quietly moved she noticed the sleeping Remus sleeping peacefully next to her. "I really should get back to my dorm room. Sam, Megan, Heidi and Shannon will be wondering where I am," she thought to herself as a smile played across her lips.
As she got to gather her clothes she noticed a cheeky grin peaked out from a bed to her right.
"Well, well, well... hello there, Julie isn't it?" James smiled cheekily.
"Umm yea, hi," Julie said in a whisper "Did I wake you?"
"Ohh no, no, I've been awake for awhile now don't worry about me."
"Sooo, um, I mean to say thanks for yesterday. You know with Filch and the closet and things."
"Ahh, that! Don't mention it. I don't like to see my mates get into trouble, not unless I'm involved in making it if ya know what I mean."
Julie started to make her way towards the door when James called her back.
"Sooo. What's going on with you and Moony then?"
"Moony?" Julie asked looking confused.
"Ohhh, yah Sorry. Moony is he nickname, I meant Remus."
"Ohh, ok, well considering everyone else knows, you might as well too."
"Gee thanks" James smiled as he rolled his eyes.
"I love him and he loves me. Could you tell Remus when he wakes up that I didn't want awkward questions from my dorm mates so I left and didn't want to wake him?"
"Yea sure." James said.
"Thanks." Julie smiled and walked out.
James smiled to himself and turned back towards before he heard Thump, Thump, Thump. He whirled around and threw open the door to see Julie sitting at the bottom of the staircase, rubbing her back.
"You ok?" James asked as he stared down at her.
"Yea I'm fine," Julie replied, "Just tripped that's all."
"Well; do you want me to help you up?" James asked looking worried.
"Sure, thank you, James!" Julie smiled.
"No problem," replied James as he pulled her up, "Just do me a favour?"
"Oh no! Indebted to a Marauder?" she smiled, "Yeah, sure."
"Just, don't break Remus' heart ok? He's been through a lot," Her smile faded as she replied,
"I don't intend to," She smiled weakly one last time before heading out of the common room. James watched her go warily, before turning around and heading back up the stairs to go and change.
When he re-entered the common room he saw a sleepy Remus poking his head out from behind his curtains. He surveyed the room around him. He looked deep in thought but James didn't have to wonder what about.
"You just missed her mate," explained James.
"Did she tell you why she had to go?" asked Remus, his insecurity taking over.
"Relax Moony; she wanted to get back to her common room before her friends wake up, to avoid awkward questions."
Remus let out a sigh in relief before he said, "You know, if we were to get Wormtail a date, we'd all finally be happy with our relationships."
"Actually, I thought I saw him snogging that Hufflepuff girl. What's her name?" James frowned, puzzled, "Oh yeah her name was–"

Julie made her way though the winding corridors until she reached a giant portrait that was the Ravenclaw common room. She whispered the password ("The Sims 2") before sneaking up in to her dorm room she shared with 4 other girls. She crept about towards her bed before a voice made her jump.
"So, where have you been?" asked what Julie thought was Samantha's voice.
"I think the real question is where haven't you been?" she retorted into the dark.
"Out snogging boys all night, unlike you," responded what Julie could only know as Megan's voice.
"I'd like to see the proof of that."
"One; you're holding a broom. Two; it's 6 in the morning, and Three; you weren't sleeping in your bed last night," That was Heidi, Julie could tell.
"Alright, you all caught me, I happen to wake up early every morning and go flying, see here's the broom," she responded, holding up the broom she used to break into Remus' dorm room.
"We're not that stupid, Jules, who was he?" asked Shannon, still not happy about being forced awake for the confrontation.
"Who was who?" asked Julie, although she already knew her playing dumb routine was nearing the end, she just needed a major change of topic.
"The boy you were snogging," stated Sam matter-of-factly. Julie just smiled.
"Are you sure we shouldn't be asking you these questions? Or did you not tell them about your astronomy tower outing last night?" Sam's mouth fell open with shock.
"The Astronomy tower? With who?!" asked Megan with delight.
"No on-"
"Severus Snape," cut in Julie. The other girls mouth's dropped open as they stared at Sam. Julie just smiled as she knew she had deflected the ball away from her and Remus.
