(A/N: Howdy ho everyone! AHA! So, the mysteries around Katrina were unraveled. Actually, it's more like they disintegrated rather than unraveled…This hopes to be a fun lil chapter, plenty of Sirius & James particularly! So, you ask, what is going to happen? Read on and find out.)

Chapter 13 Reveal-Your Secrets-Day

That afternoon, Remus told Larika and Lily. To his great relief and partial disbelief, they too had stayed loyal to him. It took him a while to get over the fact that the task that he had been dreading turned out to be quite easy. Meanwhile, in their dormitory, Sirius and James were hotheadedly debating over whether they too should confess all. In this case, confess to being illegal animagi. Peter was overlooking as sort of an impartial judge.

"Well, obviously, Lily and I have decided to be absolutely truthful to one another! It shows our commitments to our relationship!" yelled James across the room.

"What? You're saying Lara and I are committed to each other!" Sirius turned, startled at the implication.

"No, Sirius! You are not pinning that on me! That came out of you mouth! Not mine!" James pointed out hastily.

"Oh yeah? I'll show you committed! I'm telling Lara!" muttered Sirius as he rampaged out of the room.

James grinned and high-fived Peter. "Got him."

Zoom in to Sir Siri with Lady Lara

"So, as today is officially 'Reveal-Your Secrets-Day', do you have anything to tell me?" asked Sirius cheerfully.

"Well…" pondered Larika. "I once thought that I was a lesbian. Of course at the time, I had no idea what the word meant."

"Really? That's quite…disturbing. Moving on."

"And…I've had a bath with a guy several times."

"What?" Sirius' jaw dropped. "Who?" He stood up, looking around ferociously.

"Relax." Said Lara, laughing. "My cousin. Sam."

Sirius' jaw dropped all the more. "Lara...inces-?"

"I was two and a half." She said, smiling.

"Insects! I was going to say insects!" Sirius tried to retrieve himself. "Do you like insects? I like dragonflies the best. They have such pretty wings. And the blue colour. It's soo purty! And, ooh, ooh, you know the ladybugs! They're so re" he was silenced by Lara's lips on his own.

After a few long moments, she pulled herself up. "That's no the only way I know to shut you up. But not here. How about we go somewhere…else?" she lifted her eyebrows suggestively and stood up.

As tempted as Sirius was to follow her lead, he remembered James, the argument and the 'commitment' issue and stopped her. Hey, a man's got to have some pride before his friends, right?

"Whoa, whoa there, hon-"he paused remembering the last time he had called her that. If you remember, it had not turned out well for him. Lara was looking at him, amusedly. Apparently, she too, was remembering the same incident. He went on. "You've told me some of your secrets. I have to tell you one of mine."

Lily waited. It must be something very important if he had stopped their unplanned cuddling session for it.

He took a deep breath.

Zoooom into James and Lily

James and Lily were sprawled across the floor, James' head in Lily's lap. She was absentmindedly playing with his unruly hair. She smiled as her heart jumped up and down with his rhythmic heartbeat.

"Lily, I have something…something pretty important to tell you." His voice came up.

She looked at him attentively.

"Well, you know how Remus is a werewolf and all?"

Lily nodded. "Yeah…"

"Well," he paused.

""Oh, for Christ's sake, James. Don't tell me you're a werewolf, too!" she said tiredly.

"Nor a vampire or a cross breed or a drag queen?" she asked hopefully, smiling at the same time.

"Nope," he shook her head vehemently. "Just plain old James Potter." He paused. "Well, not plain old, but definitely James Potter." He grinned. "So anyway, to keep Remus company during the full moons, Sirius, Peter and I, uh, we became animagi." He finished weakly.

"WHAT?" Lily shouted.

"WHAT?" another voice, soundly curiously like Lara's echoed from one of the near-by rooms.

James quieted her gently.

"Why, why didn't you tell me?"

"I did, just now."

She hit him gently, across the arm. "I meant, before."

"Well, we'd have to tell you why we became Animagus, why Remus wasn't one…It was Remus' secret. Even we, we had to figure out ourselves."

She nodded gently and sat there for a few minutes, staring tenderly at James Potter.

"So…what kind of animal are you?"

"Oh, wouldn't you want to know!"

"Well, I can't help it if you already are one!"

"Well, isn't it the same girl who said to me, 'we should become animagi…what do you think?'" he teased.

He stood up and flexed his shoulders back and closed his eyes. He took in a breath, slowly. And exhaled it, if possible even slower. Lily gazed at him, mesmerized.

As he exhaled, his skin took on a radiant, silver tinge. In a second, the unruly haired, hazel-eyed, handsome man before her had melted away. Into an animal. Into a silver stag, to be precise.

"Prongs." She whispered as she touched his antlers.

A few minutes later, the stag began to paw the floor, uneasily.

"What is it, what is it, Prongs?" she whispered.

The stag looked anxiously at the door, almost expecting it to explode any minute. Prongs could smell it, smell it in the air.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a large black dog burst out of the door, scampering wildly, a messy haired girl chasing him with wild abandon.

"Lily?" asked the girl. "Is that… a stag?"

"Lara? God, what have you done to yourself? And yes, to answer your question, that is a stag." Lily asked looking at her up and down. Her robes were wildly tattered, her hair in a mess and smudges of dirt all over her body. There was also, also, was that slobber? Lily looked from the girl to the dog, bewildered.

"It's not my fault!" shouted Lara happily as she played a rousing round of tug of war over a torn bed sheet with the dog and the stag on one side.

"Uh-uh" Lily nodded, still looking over the unbelievable sight. "And whose is it, then?"

"It's-" she pulled hard. "HIS!" she pointed to the dog, releasing the bed sheet in the process. Both the dog and the stag toppled down.

"Yes, and, uh who is HE?"

Lara looked at her queerly. "Why" at that very moment, something or rather someone sprung onto her and pinned her down "Sirius of course." She finished, looking toward the being that was on top of her.

"Eureka! Or… AHA! Or… whatever!" yelled Lily. "PADFOOT!"

"At your service, ma'm!" The being tried to stand up and salute Lily, but didn't quite manage, and Sirius Black fell atop Larika once more.

"Wait a minute, there." Lara frowned form her place sprawled on the floor. "That means…PRONGS!" she pointed to someone behind Lily.

Lily quickly moved out of the way. James, with no stopping barrier now, thrown forward by his momentum, found himself heading on a direct collusion course towards…

"AAHHHHHH!" yelled three voices in unison.

"Well, this is just great." Huffed Lara's voice from underneath James' and Sirius' combined body masses. "Just great." She repeated sarcastically. After a few twenty struggles, all three of them realized, there was no getting out of it. Without help. Without Lily's help.

"Lillllyyyy!" three voices wailed in unison.

Meanwhile, Lillllyyyy was having a very, very hard time holding herself upright. She seemed to be out of breath altogether, and if she didn't stop laughing soon, Sirius was sure that she would go blue. Yes, blue. The same shade of the dragonfly wings. How pretty. How lucky he'd be to witness that particular shade on Lily's face. But then again, with James' arse in the way, he was sure he wasn't going to be able to see any of the pretty blue action.

A few minutes or hours later—it seemed to S, J and L, Lily stopped laughing—quite disappointing Sirius who had his hopes set on seeing that shade of blue. She attempted coming near them and eyed their combined figure. "Oh," she spoke in a fake voice. "What a lovely sitting chair. It certainly looks very, very comfortable." Saying so, she sat on James.

Three voices howled in unison, Lily's laugh ringing out loudly.
