"Why do you keep loving me?"

Chapter fourteen: Back to Reality

They woke the next morning to experience the love they had done last night again. It was amazing and passionate and neither wanted it to end. When lily woke up though the second time after they had made love James wasn't in the bed with her and his clothes were gone. Lily panicked. She got out of bed and quickly began to try and find her clothes.

"Hey, my orders. Get back in bed." James had walked in and he was holding a tray of breakfast.

"Oh James you're so sweet I thought you had gone and left me."

"I would never leave you Lily I love you." He kissed her on the lips as a hello.

She had had the most amazing night. It wasn't just a one off, she knew that. It had been passionate and James took it slow as he knew lily was scared. But it was just right. Lily was content as she sat there eating her waffles. He must have sneaked them from the kitchen, as he wouldn't risk going into the main hall. She sat there eating, grinning her head off. She couldn't stop it felt like her face had been pinned back.

"What's so funny?" James asked grinning as well.

"Nothing much," Lily replied. "Syrup kiss!" And she took him by surprise with a big sticky kiss right on his lips. He didn't complain though and pushed the waffles away so he was on top of her.

"Last night was amazing Lil's. You were amazing." He kissed her again and they started getting like last night. Lily was still naked so James ran his hand over her shoulder. Her skin was so pale and soft. She was like a doll. So delicate. He traced his hand down her bare body. She shivered and it turned him on so bad.

He wanted her again and again. They made love again. It was different this time though it was raunchy they moved from room to room making love in each. The hottest thing they did was having sex half out the window though. James had lifted Lily on to the ledge and they had had sex right there and then. This was so extreme that someone almost caught them down in the grounds but James lifted Lily up and away from the ledge and then took her back to the bed. They lay there for hours. Just being with each other. Finally James broke the moment by saying,

"Marry me?"

"What?" Lily said dreamily, she hadn't been listening just daydreaming about them.

"Nothing doesn't matter." They had to get back to normal school life so they got dressed and went to the common room. All their friends were sitting there. They looked surprised to see them but relieved because they had been missing all day.

"Mate." Sirius started. "Where have you been? You've been gone all day we had to lie to all your teachers and tell them you two were sick." James and lily obviously didn't want to tell them the truth so he blurted out.

"Oh you know mate, we sneaked out early and had a day in Hogsmeade."

"Oh ok. We all thought you were missing." Tasha said.

They chatted as usually but no one seemed to notice how close Lily and James were. She was sitting on his lap while they shared a chair. She rested her head on his chest and his head rested on top of hers. They were almost entwined. She held his hand and every so often he would tickle her palm and made her hand tingle she felt so close to him and loved every moment.

Eventually it got late and as it was a school night they went up to bed. The girls headed up and Lily sat on her bed, smiled and sighed loudly.

"I knew it." Tasha exclaimed. "Didn't I tell you." She told Charlie.

"So what did you really do last night? Don't think we didn't know you snuck out." Charlie said.

"James and I we…" She blushed this was ver intimate details and she was very shy about these things.

"Lily did you and James have sex?" Tasha said this slowly, like Lily was a small child and without a glimpse of embarrassment.

"Yeah." Lily said giggling like a little schoolgirl.

"Thank god, I thought you never would." Tasha said.

"Yeah me and Tasha did it with Sirius and Remus ages ago. Wow we sound like right slappers." Charlie laughed at this and Tasha threw a pillow at her.

"Really? You already have? Why didn't you say anything?" Lily asked.

"'Cause we don't make such a big deal about these thing. I'm really happy for you Lily." Charlie said.

"So what was it like?" Tasha asked crudely. "What James good in the sack?"

"Tasha!" Lily laughed. "That's for me to know. But I will tell you that it was nice."

"Just nice? God Sirius and me are like wild animals. It's amazing. We go all night." Tasha giggled at this and the Lily and Charlie giggled as well. Tasha never seemed to be shy about these things. But Charlie never mentioned her and Remus and didn't plan to. She was very different to Tasha Charlie was very shy.

"Hey girls?" Tasha asked.

"Yeah?" They both replied.

"Do you fancy a night time trip to the kitchens? I'm starving." Tasha

said.

"Yeah. Okay." They said. So they all clad in their ridiculously skimpylittle pyjamas sneaked down to the kitchens. The house elves however got a bit carried away when they turned up and they handed themenough food to feed a small army. And they knew exactly what to dowith it. They only knew four people with big enough appetites. Theyknew the marauders wouldn't be asleep yet because they were always up planning more pranks to pull. So when they quietly tip toed up the stairs they weren't surprised to here them talking inside. They openedthe door in a rush with all they food and yelled,

"Surprise!" They boys jumped about a mile in the air and all the girls laughed. They walked in and said,

"You wouldn't happen to be hungry would you?" Lily asked. They all had piles of foods and dropped it on the floor. The boys expressions suddenly changed from surprise to glee.

" Wow you really can read my mind can't you?" James said to Lily kissing her on the lips. Sirius just said,

"Wow I love you." And then he stuck into the food. Remus stayed back and asked them why they had done this.

"Well we just randomly went and got some food also here we are coming to feed our favourite guys."

"Wow I love you," James said just like Sirius had, and kissed Lily on the lips then him and the Marauders went for the food like wild animals.It was a frenzy by the end they had left nothing.

They had all been acting like this for a while now. In a haze of doing random things. All of them being in love had made their group come together because they all had something in common.

There was only one problem. Peter, slowly he became bitter towards his friends. Always happy, liked even if they do something wrong. He didn't like it, he had no one, James had Lily Sirius had Tasha, Remus and Charlie, all of them together in love. It almost revolted him. He began to go to other people for friendships but they weren't the types you really looked for in friends. Slytherins, the lowest of all, he was down with the worst now and would never come back.

The others knew nothing of this of course though, they were too happy, in their own worlds. They were soon brought back to earth though. Exams were soon rising for the seventh years (they are now seventh year's hope you don't mind) and they haven't revised at all. I mean all of them are clever but they still need to revise but now the time was coming closer and quicker and they had their noses in books.

They stopped talking they just sat in the common room reading, it was a funny sight, after all the fun they had had all the mad things they had done, now they were sitting reading. Big change. Exams soon arrived and they were all nervous, they all had separate wishes for the future and they all needed good results to get that.

Remus wanted to be a teacher, he had loved his time at Hogwarts so much that he didn't want it to end and he didn't plan too.

Charlie wanted to be a healer, she was a caring person and would be well suited for the job.

Tasha was very different she planned to open a shop, a shop selling magical things of power, she had always had an interest in these things.

Sirius wanted to be an Auror, like James, they couldn't be split up and this was what they both wanted, his family had originally had other plans for him being of pure blood his family was very traditional. They wanted magic only people to be for pure bloods, and they had recently become part of a new group lead by a dangerous man, his name couldn't be uttered though. They wanted Sirius to join in on the family business but he wasn't so interested. Some of his best friends were muggle born and he loved them all, he could never do that to them. Now he lived with James and his family and was happier than ever. James's Mother and Father were very nice and treated him as another son. There was more than enough room in their enormous house. Mr Potter being the minister of magic they were more than well off.

Last of all was Lily, she hadn't really decided what to do, she was always between things, she loved defence against the dark arts, so she could be an Auror.

But she just wasn't sure, she always thought she had time but time was running out and she just didn't know. But she was too busy to think a bout it. She had barely revised half of her work yet.

The day of the exams came and they all joined in the common room to go down to their first one. They all had the same lessons as they all took the same subjects. The first exam was defence against the dark arts. When led into the main hall by the teacher in charge of this exam they were greeted by the panal of examiners.

You would expect them to be scary and judging but they in fact looked like somebody grand parents. They were all well over seventy and looked as if they would creak when they moved. They smiled at the incoming pupils and they beckoned them to sit down. One by one they were asked up to do then physical test.

Sirius was first to go up as his name was Black and first in the alphabet. He didn't look nervous at all though. He never did, he always had this cool exterior that made him look as though nothing could faze him. Tasha was the same. That's probably why they are so good together. He strolled up to the main table and stared at the examiners defiantly as though to say, anything you can throw at me I can take.

They led him away into a back room to take his exam.
