Chapter 30 – Sensitivity in a Marauder
Se Harry, your father was finally beginning to realise his potential as a young man rather then a popular...oh what is the word? Oh yes, 'Jock' is the word I believe you kids use?
Sirius loved it of course because I'm afraid that deep down Harry...your Godfather was the worlds worse romantic...
...Plus who else do you think would care enough to play matchmaker during a time of war?
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
(1976)
"So Moony, You wearing the dress?" Sirius said as he leant against the bedpost, grin firmly set into place and a wicked glint in his sapphire blue eyes. No amount of charm though could save him from the glare his boyfriend sent him.
"Actually I think you should Sirius, you've got a killer pair of legs."
They both turned to the source of the voice to find James sat grinning on his bed, legs crossed and a copy of 'Which Broomstick' nestled in his lap.
"You frighten me Prongs, did you know that?" The dog animagi said with an eyebrow raised as he pushed off from the post with his shoulder to move towards his friend.
"You know, ever since Evans..."
"Lily." James corrected making Sirius roll his eyes.
"...Whatever, since -Lily- asked you to the dance you've been annoyingly happy...perky almost. If you had breasts they'd be pointing straight up to imitate your good mood."
"Hmm, now I have strange visuals." Remus said as he flicked the page in his book making James laugh as he smirked at his mate.
"I can make other things stand up with the right wrist movements Moony love." Sirius said and after a brief moment of blushing embarrassment the werewolf then grinned almost predatorily.
"Come and have a go then...if you think you're –hard- enough."
"Stop, stop! I'm still here! Hello wooo!" James waved his hand frantically in front of Sirius's face but to no avail...the lusty look had already smoked up the longhaired boy's coherent thoughts.
"Go downstairs Jim, there's a good lad." Sirius muttered vaguely as he moved back towards the now provocatively sitting werewolf who simple raised a fine tawny eyebrow at the animagi.
"That's not very nice, it's my dorm too." James said crossing his arms over his chest and Sirius shrugged mildly.
"That's fine, you can watch if you like, learn a few things."
James smirked to prove he wasn't falling for it but Sirius was now straddling his other best friend with a rather dangerous look on his face.
"Er...I'll be downstairs if you need me." He said before taking his leave.
"Mmmhmm." Both male lovers mumbled before lips locked together in an unbreakable seal.
"Um...right, see you later."
They heard the door close and open but neither really cared as they discarded one another of their clothing and climbed under the sheets.
"Notice we seem to do this a lot?" Remus said as he moved to brace himself over the beautiful fallen angel beneath him.
"You complaining?" Sirius said smiling as he reached up to twine one hand into the almost dark blonde hair as it hung in bangs around Remus's face.
"No way." Came the muffled reply as the werewolf nibbled at a prominent collarbone making Sirius squirm happily beneath his mate.
"Just noticed was all...thought it might be Lupercalia again at the rate we go at it." The smaller teen said as he lifted his head to stare into the familiar eyes of his lover.
"Oh I do love Lupercalia...we should practice you know." Sirius said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively making the werewolf laugh.
"Like you need practice." He said before he positioned himself ready to make love to the man he loved.
"Yes well, Not all are lucky to be born a natural like me."
"Except me." Remus said with a smirk before sinking into his lover.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
James came down the stairs and every time he stepped heavily onto the next step he would mutter in time with each footfall.
"Bored, bored, bored..."
Sighing he reached the bottom stair before he made his way towards the sofa where he sufferingly slipped over the top of it to lie across it pouting.
"Like Remus, Like Sirius...don't like being left out." He muttered like a five-year-old who had just been punished.
He kicked his feet lightly, which dangled over the side in a bored fashion, as he stretched his arms over the other side of the sofa so he was lounging across the sofa like some big cat.
"What ho? Do my eyes deceive me or...no, tis true...there is a lone Marauder!"
James sat up frowning but it quickly lifted as he spotted the familiar red haired girl standing by his feet.
"Hi." He said and she let a small grin slip onto her face.
"Hi...all alone?"
He looked around the empty common room (Save for themselves) before looking back at her with an eyebrow raised.
"Nah, right old laugh in here!" He said and she scowled at him slightly to which he held his hands up submissively.
"Kidding, kidding." He said and the scowl lifted as he moved his feet to curl them under him instead, making room for Lily as she sat on the other end of the sofa.
"Why –are- you sitting all alone? Shouldn't you be Marauding with your buddies?" She said as she settled herself to sit cross-legged with a pillow clutched to her chest.
"Should be, but not." He muttered as he threw an arm to rest over his eyes as he rested his head against the back of the sofa.
"Why not?"
"Peteys off with his bonnie lass and our favourite Gryffindor couple are mud wrestling upstairs...minus the mud."
Lily looked at the tired slump of James's body before taking pity on him. ("He must be feeling really left out right now what with everyone partnering up,") she thought sadly.
Then she smirked as she thought about something that might make his day.
James felt a warm weight at his side and dropping his arm he turned his head to look down at Lily who had snuggled up against his side. His jaw dropped as she closed her eyes, her arm flung over his waist and her head resting on his shoulder.
Butterflies fluttered around in his stomach as he found he –really- liked her weight just there.
"What time are you picking me up for the dance?" She asked, eyes still closed and he swallowed thickly which she must have heard because she grinned.
"Um...it starts at 7:30 so...er, m-maybe 7?" He stuttered and her grin widened.
"Sure."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"You know what?" Sirius asked as he wrapped the oversheets around his waist like a toga as he crept towards the door of the dormitory.
"What?" Remus whispered as he lay back on the bed, the beds regular thick duvet just barely covering his waist as he rested one hand on his bare flat stomach and one up above his head.
"I reckon Lily will be the one to 'de-flower' our Prongsy." Sirius looked back at his boyfriend with a wicked grin and Remus gasped as he laughed.
"Sirius, Merlin you are wicked."
"I'm serious...excuse the pun...but look," He creaked the door open slightly, "They're 'snuggling' down there."
"So what if they're 'snuggling'. It could be 'I'm your friend snuggling'." The werewolf said as he sat up wrapping the sheets up around his shoulders to cover his whole body as he shuffled towards the door where his mate was.
"Remus, my lovely sweet naïve love, one does not snuggle with a member of the opposite sex...well, in our case the –same- sex...as friends, there is always a hint of 'cor you're nice' going on when one snuggles against said desired mate."
"That's not true." Remus said reasonably but the animagus turned to his lover with an eyebrow raised.
"Moony...two years ago you took –any-opportunity to snuggle against me and don't you deny it...I know because I did too."
Remus flushed slightly but smiled at the final added piece a little wistfully.
"Really?" He asked in an almost girlish manner that Sirius actually laughed and cupped his chin with his fingers.
"Really." He said clearly as he leant in to place searing lips against soft compassionate ones.
"We should go down there." Sirius said suddenly with a wicked gleam in his eyes and Remus shook his head disbelieving.
"No Paddy, if they really are 'More than platonic snuggling' then we should leave them to it."
Sirius pouted but grinning cheekily Remus backed up then flashed him as he opened the duvet then shut it again before running back towards the bed.
Sirius was momentarily stunned before an evil smirk came to his face and with a little playful growl he stalked his way towards the bed where the werewolf lay laughing happily.
"Mmm, now that I could get used to." The dark haired boy purred as he crawled up the length of Remus's body and throwing back the covers leaving Remus before him in all his glory.
"Punk Rock love!" Sirius growled as he leant forwards to kiss his mate, loosing his 'toga' in the process as round two started up...
...Or was it round three?
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
James was itching to run his fingers through the red hair that he had dreamed of stroking for years but a big part of him still felt that maybe he hadn't changed enough yet, that he was still in his 'cocoon' stage before he would emerge the social butterfly Lily required.
"James?" Lily said as she sat back to look at him and he snapped his attention to her face.
"Yes?" He said a little high then cleared his throat to say it again in a more manly voice.
"Who are you?" She said and James frowned in confusion.
"Um...I only have so many brain cells left after that amount of Bludger attacks so you're going to have to elaborate." He said cocking his head at her in confusion.
"That's just it! No offence but you've been this...this..."
"Prick?" He offered as he turned to face her properly and she flushed a little.
"Sorry." She said looking at him apologetically but he simply waved his hand dismissivily.
"Well, you've been this 'prick' for so long that...why the sudden change?" She asked and she looked up at James who seemed to be contemplating his answer.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Oh Jesus, what's he going to say?" Remus muttered as he and Sirius sat crouched at the top of the boy's dormitories stairs. He and Sirius were both wrapped up in the bed duvet as they silently watched from their seats.
"Bet he messes it up." Sirius said and Remus went to nod but changed half way.
"Have faith...I think he's actually maturing." He said.
"...God forbid."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I
James frowned a little in thought before he looked at the curious face watching him once more.
"Have you ever witnessed love?" He asked and she started a little at the question answer (Sirius and Remus looked at one another confused then back down at the couple).
"I guess..." She started and James shook his head as he grasped one of her hands in his.
"No I mean –real- love, like die for one another love?" He emphasised and after a minute of thinking she shook her head.
"No...why?"
"I have," He said and Lily's eyebrows shot up in surprise, "Everyday."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III
"Eh?" Sirius said raising an eyebrow and Remus shrugged.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III
"Who?" She whispered and James cleared his throat.
"Come on, you've seen the way Sirius and Remus look at one another."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III
"Oh." Sirius said as his eyebrows shot up in surprise.
"Indeed." Remus agreed in a whisper.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIII
"So you're saying Sirius and Remus being boyfriends made you realise you were a bit of a dick?" Lily said a little confused and James grinned a little.
"Well it won't make sense if you say it like –that-." Said James and his childish indignity of the situation made her laugh a little as she waved her hand for him to continue.
"I apologise, please continue."
"Seeing them like that, no matter how much I feel left out...well...it made me realise I want that too."
Lily stared in shock at James's confusion (Sirius trying his hardest for his jaw not to drop and clatter against the floor) and the messy haired boy turned away a little embarrassed.
"Who with?" She whispered and with a small gentle smile on his face James turned back to Lily.
"I think you know who."
Silence reigned and no one moved but finally James stood.
"Goodnight Lily Evans."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Run!" Remus hissed quickly into Sirius's ear and the two quickly sped back into the room as their best friend made his way up the stairs, a dumbfounded Lily watching his as he went.
The two pups bounced into the bed, giggling slightly, until finally the dorm door opened again and James came in. Quickly the Stag animagi fitted a traditional Marauder style grin into place.
"You girls done? Because sleep would be a welcomed and praised haven right now."
Sirius nodded as he tugged on his trousers under the quilt.
"Yeah...look, Prongs mate...sorry to kick you out like that..."
James waved a hand dismissing any more apologies.
"Ah you wanted to shag, at least you warned me unlike you did to Peter. You know I think that kid may be questioning his sanity ever since that."
Chuckling Remus sat up as he wrapped the sheets around him.
"Well...thanks man."
"What on earth for? You would've shagged had I stayed or not." James said laughing as he turned his back to them to pull off his shirt.
"Well...thanks anyway." Remus said silently watching the boy who seemed to have self anointed himself the canine lovers' protector.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Thanks to:
Obviously Oblivious: Oh thank you, you make me blush (but only a little lol).
Kynny: Aye, I like doing that (the bringing points to head bit) because I know there are a lot of people here who agree with me. You try telling these points to other people and you get shrugged off as some 'deep thoughtful teenager who's just being melodramatic'. Tell me, what age is it that you stop thinking seriously about issues like this? And thank you for the compliments, you're very sweet lol.
Sicka: Aw poor Sirius lol. My cat never quite forgave me for taken me to the vets, always had this scowl on his pretty face lol. Glad you like the J/Lness, it's a nice change to try Hetro for a while (But I think overall that R/S will always be my fav).
Malfoyscutie: Oh the tropical ones are yummy!
Adhara1: Aye that chapter had to be my longest yet but here I am, I'm in type mode again and I've started my summer holidays (although I may sometimes be slow due to the Portfolio I've mentioned before). I too have been looking forward to getting the James/Lily rolling and I write the damn thing lol! I like trying to separate their personalities so that I get part of Harry in both of them.
Happy, Gup and Panda (pats Pandas back): Lmao, I feel like I butted in on a conversation then, that was very random!
Yaoi-is-gay-13: Yah for happy James, we love happy James, he's my funny line man!
Abysiberian: (Takes a bow) thank you, like I said above I love writing James, all my best lines go to him!
Passionflower: LMAO loved the poem, not quite Oscar Wilde but it has potential! I'm glad to see the James/Lilyness has gone down a storm, they really are fun to write alongside Remus and Sirius!
Hp-Azn: Why not, making out is fun (with the right partner) Lmao!
Jenna: Aye, I can't remember how the conversation started but it clicked then that the werewolf deal is maybe JK's way of bringing that up. You can usually find hiding meanings in books so I believe that that is something at least a little of what she may have been doing. And lol at the 50th reading session, I feel so proud lol!
Legolas19: Ah shucks never mind them. Just munch on biccies as you watch the dvd then lol! And here you are, another update (ta da)!
Lost Book: Well dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians, if that's not loyalty then I don't know –what-is! Reviewing every chapter is...wow...I'm speechless! You didn't have to but it made me smirk when you did so thank you! I particularly liked when you said your favourite lines cause I'd be like 'What bit did I write that again?' and I'd go have a read myself lol! Well, again thanks for that! You were great, really made me smile.
Pippinsmyhobbit: OH NO LMAO! You should've gone up lol! I'll have to send my friend Kirsty round to do it for you (She once walked through the centre of town shouting 'PENIS' because I dared her too...well funny lol)!
Akuma Malick: Lmao here you go, never fear!
Tu ma Fais craquer: Aye I know what you mean, I like the pairing but a lot of their fics are long ones (with NO Sirius/Remus action!) and I never have the patience. So (ta da!) I did my own lol!
TheDOgSTar: WHOA long review LMAO! First off, (BLOWS RASPBERRY) damn you and your decent football team! But yes, I will willingly shake your hand since your review was such a lovely one lol. About the JK comments, I too sit there pretending that, yes, once these two had a relationship (teehee we are terrible) but like I said I bet she didn't –intend- it to happen lol. Oh well, no one can stop us from pretending lol! The Egyptian mythology is just from my love of all things ancient Egypt although you'd be happy to know there was a toss up over the Greeks and Egyptians (It was a choice of Ra or Adonis but Cara from my other fics already had 'Adonis' as his middle name so I went with the Greeks). I think there is a lot of views on the Remus/Sirius dominance thing as Sirius is a strong character but Remus is an alpha wolf. I just like to have Remus as an innocent boy but with a wicked side when the wolf pops out lol!
Callista Silverheart: I asked a guy but the prom was cancelled (cries), ah well never mind. And aye, as if I could break up my boys (guards with her life).
Kitarin: Thank you, what lovely comments lol. Yeah, I think I've mentioned this before but I keep copies of the books by my side for reference if I feel my characters becoming OOC and the slowly creeping maturity is fun for me to develop something of my own I guess lol.
Rhoewyn: Lol glad to have been of service to you. This chapter received so many reviews and so many lovely newbies like yourself that I'm practically floating on air lol!
Hyperactive Snow-white owl: LMAO that wads funny, I could picture the voice and all! And thank you so much lol!
Remus's darker side: LMAO I know man, I practically climb walls when I eat lots of sugar. Talking really fast and having a high pain tolerance are common factors also!

Sicka: Aw poor Sirius lol. My cat never quite forgave me for taken me to the vets, always had this scowl on his pretty face lol. Glad you like the J/Lness, it's a nice change to try Hetro for a while (But I think overall that R/S will always be my fav).
Malfoyscutie: Oh the tropical ones are yummy!
Adhara1: Aye that chapter had to be my longest yet but here I am, I'm in type mode again and I've started my summer holidays (although I may sometimes be slow due to the Portfolio I've mentioned before). I too have been looking forward to getting the James/Lily rolling and I write the damn thing lol! I like trying to separate their personalities so that I get part of Harry in both of them.
Happy, Gup and Panda (pats Pandas back): Lmao, I feel like I butted in on a conversation then, that was very random!
Yaoi-is-gay-13: Yah for happy James, we love happy James, he's my funny line man!
Abysiberian: (Takes a bow) thank you, like I said above I love writing James, all my best lines go to him!
Passionflower: LMAO loved the poem, not quite Oscar Wilde but it has potential! I'm glad to see the James/Lilyness has gone down a storm, they really are fun to write alongside Remus and Sirius!
Hp-Azn: Why not, making out is fun (with the right partner) Lmao!
Jenna: Aye, I can't remember how the conversation started but it clicked then that the werewolf deal is maybe JK's way of bringing that up. You can usually find hiding meanings in books so I believe that that is something at least a little of what she may have been doing. And lol at the 50th reading session, I feel so proud lol!
Legolas19: Ah shucks never mind them. Just munch on biccies as you watch the dvd then lol! And here you are, another update (ta da)!
Lost Book: Well dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians, if that's not loyalty then I don't know –what-is! Reviewing every chapter is...wow...I'm speechless! You didn't have to but it made me smirk when you did so thank you! I particularly liked when you said your favourite lines cause I'd be like 'What bit did I write that again?' and I'd go have a read myself lol! Well, again thanks for that! You were great, really made me smile.
Pippinsmyhobbit: OH NO LMAO! You should've gone up lol! I'll have to send my friend Kirsty round to do it for you (She once walked through the centre of town shouting 'PENIS' because I dared her too...well funny lol)!
Akuma Malick: Lmao here you go, never fear!
Tu ma Fais craquer: Aye I know what you mean, I like the pairing but a lot of their fics are long ones (with NO Sirius/Remus action!) and I never have the patience. So (ta da!) I did my own lol!
TheDOgSTar: WHOA long review LMAO! First off, (BLOWS RASPBERRY) damn you and your decent football team! But yes, I will willingly shake your hand since your review was such a lovely one lol. About the JK comments, I too sit there pretending that, yes, once these two had a relationship (teehee we are terrible) but like I said I bet she didn't –intend- it to happen lol. Oh well, no one can stop us from pretending lol! The Egyptian mythology is just from my love of all things ancient Egypt although you'd be happy to know there was a toss up over the Greeks and Egyptians (It was a choice of Ra or Adonis but Cara from my other fics already had 'Adonis' as his middle name so I went with the Greeks). I think there is a lot of views on the Remus/Sirius dominance thing as Sirius is a strong character but Remus is an alpha wolf. I just like to have Remus as an innocent boy but with a wicked side when the wolf pops out lol!
Callista Silverheart: I asked a guy but the prom was cancelled (cries), ah well never mind. And aye, as if I could break up my boys (guards with her life).
Kitarin: Thank you, what lovely comments lol. Yeah, I think I've mentioned this before but I keep copies of the books by my side for reference if I feel my characters becoming OOC and the slowly creeping maturity is fun for me to develop something of my own I guess lol.
Rhoewyn: Lol glad to have been of service to you. This chapter received so many reviews and so many lovely newbies like yourself that I'm practically floating on air lol!
Hyperactive Snow-white owl: LMAO that wads funny, I could picture the voice and all! And thank you so much lol!
Remus's darker side: LMAO I know man, I practically climb walls when I eat lots of sugar. Talking really fast and having a high pain tolerance are common factors also!
