A Helping Hand in Love

Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me, they belong to J. K. Rowling. Except for Sara Sweets, she belongs to me . Author's note: This is based upon what I have taken from the Harry Potter stories, and is totally in my head. And I seriously believe that Voldemort is either in love with Lily or is her half-brother, so that is in this story. If you are easily offended by vulgar language or sexual content you should not read this fanficiton. Please review.

Lily paced slowly beside James and Sirius.

"It's what she said," Sirius repeated the sentence he had been saying for five weeks.

Lily shook her head, "She may have said it but that's not what's in her heart. I know it's not. Trust me Sirius, she loves you, she just…I don't know…doesn't realize it? No, she does…then what's her problem?" Lily was beginning to get frustrated with that question.

Someone else entered the empty potions class.

The three Gryffindors looked up to find the Slytherin who stood there.

"What do you want?" James sneered.

Snape glanced at him, "Nothing that has to do with you," he informed him.

"Severus, what is it?" Lily asked.

He turned to Lily, "I think you are asking the wrong question, Flower. It is not what is Sweet's problem, it is what is her fear."

"Since when do you give a rat's ass about a Gryffindor?" James snapped, he knew that Snape still had hard feeling about the dangerous prank Sirius had played on him but now was not a time to put Sirius down.

Snape looked up at him as if he were stupid, "I have always cares for Flower and Sweet." Then he turned to Sirius, "I understand that she has chosen you, and I am forced to agree with that, so I will help you out in this matter." He once again turned to the other two, "You two should probably leave. This is for Sirius and me to discuss." He stated simply.

"No way, I am not leaving you two alone! You have never gotten along over anything!" James denied instantly.

"Come on James, this is not our business." Lily said, taking James's arm and leading him to the door.

"Are you telling me to leave them alone? Together?" James demanded.

Lily looked up into his eyes, "No, I am asking. Now James, will you please give them time to be by themselves."

The look in her eyes told him that this was important to her so he sighed and allowed her to lead him out of the room.

He looked down at her, "You had better be happy." He teased.

She smiled, knowing that with Severus helping Sirius out Sara would no longer be having these problems and no longer need her to worry about her, "Don't worry James, I am going to make it up to you. Follow me," she said leading him away.

With a smile covering his lips and enticing thoughts coming to his mind he willingly followed her.

"We'll have no interruptions this time." She stated.

"Where are we going?" he asked curiously.

"You'll see," she teased, taking him outside the castle.

The couple made their way to the landmark that automatically told him exactly where they were going. The Whomping Willow. That meant that they were headed to the Shrieking Shack. "Remus just got back, didn't he?" he asked, pleased that she had thought of this place. No one would be bothering them this time.

"Yeah," she said as she picked up a long stick and pushed the knot that stilled the tree just long enough for her and James to climb underneath and into the pathway to the Shrieking Shack.

Soon the couple found themselves at their destination and Lily turned to James, a smile on her face. Perhaps this time they would both be satisfied.

"Let's start all over again, almost like the bath," she said, a wicked grin on her face as her hands found his belt and waited for permission.

He smiled wide and obligingly took off the pants for her, his shaft sturdy and ready for her care.

She smiled, this would be fun, and now she could actually see his reactions.

Her hands reached for him.
