Author's Note: I hope you realize by now that the Marauders, Lily, Hogwarts, etc., aren't mine. Instead, complain to J.K. Rowling. Be warned: slash starts here! By the way, for those who don't exactly see eye to eye with me on the length of my chapters: Tell the truth, would you really come back if I didn't leave you wondering what was going to happen next? J.K. Rowling herself leaves us all with loads of cliff hangers and then we have to wait for years before she releases the next book. You see, I love you all so much that I torture your minds just so that you'll come back.
Curtains drawn around him, James sat sullenly on his four poster bed in the otherwise deserted dormitory. Realizing that steaming on his bed wasn't going to solve anything, he turned his attention instead to something that would- retaliation.
Thinking harder than in any of his classes, he figured that the prank that he would pull should have something to do with Valentines Day.
How about making them fall in love with someone awful? He thought. Hmm…Sirius and Snape…I like the sound of that. What about Remus? Peter, maybe? Yeah! He won't be able to follow me around anymore with Remus after him!
A truly evil grin cracked upon James' countenance.
It was a beautiful morn. The sun was shining, the emerald grass was laced with dew and springy underfoot, and there wasn't a cloud in the heavens. Naturally, as the friends approached the opposite edge of the lake, it began to pour from the now overcast sky that appeared suddenly and out of nowhere.
Sirius swore loudly as he and Remus raced for the nearest shelter-alarge oak tree. Remus was still struggling to get his undersized, patched cloak over his head, but to no avail.
"You can share my robes if you want." Sirius said without thinking. "I mean, mine are too big anyway." He added quickly.
Remus' expression gave way to a timid smile of gratitude and- something else. What was it? The golden eyes flickered and the emotion was once again hidden away. He moved nearer, sliding his slender frame so that he was facing Sirius and very close. So close in fact…
Sirius felt his face grow hot. Any blood that was left went the other way.
Oh shit.
