Chapter 25: Over the Rainbow

'All is good again,' Sirius sang happily, skipping out the Room of Requirement and towards a waiting Lily and Lupin. They were slumped against the wall opposite the door, each wearing a expression of relief as Sirius and James resurfaced.

'Oh my god. What happened? We were standing next to you then suddenly we were flying through the air and we landed in a crumpled heap out here,' Lily gasped, jumping to her feet and flinging her arms around a very confused James who was trying to read his notes over her shoulder. Discovering that she was his girlfriend he smiled and hugged her warmly, smelling the vanilla scent of her hair that seemed so familiar, yet he couldn't remember ever smelling it. Shrugging to himself slightly, he pecked her lightly on the lips, unsure about what kind of relationship they were involved in.

'OK get a room,' Sirius said loudly, although grinning at them.

'Um Sirius, is that a smile I see?' Lupin gasped, surveying his friend who was bouncing on the balls of his feet excitedly. Sirius grinned at him, his face lighting up in a happy glow despite the redness of his eyes.

'Indeed it is my chum, my pal, my old bean,' he chirped, skipping around Lupin in a circle.

'You have no idea how happy I am to hear that,' Lupin choked, looking as though he was going to break out in tears of happiness. After all the only thing he had done over the last couple of days was try to entertain a weeping Sirius with puppets and jokes. He sniffed, glad that he would never have to do it again.

'Don't cry. You'll get me started,' Sirius said causing Lupin to shoot him a warning look.

'You dare and I will strangle you with Grumpy and Gapy,' he threatened menacingly with so much conviction that Sirius jumped back in fear. He looked at Lupin in horror, clutching his chest in mock hurt.

'So evil.' Sirius pouted, unsure about whether Remus had heard him or not. Although by the death glares he was now receiving from Lupin, Sirius would bet his broomstick that he had. However Lupin chose to ignore it.

'Speaking of evil what happened to Annabel and Snape?' Lily broke through the silence, glancing at the door leading into the Room of Requirement where the enemy lay crippled on the floor. Sirius glanced at James in guilt who stared blankly back at him. Sirius sighed. He was going to have to reveal what he and James had done to them alone, considering James couldn't remember it.

'Annabel was stunned and well, quite frankly, I have no idea what kind of curses Snape was hit with. He looks like a human doodle. Not to mention he has grass growing out his ears and multi-coloured hair sprouting out his nostrils- thanks to moi. I think he was most likely hit with a stunner as well considering he's out cold… or that could just be the impact of all the curses. He was hit with a few,' Sirius said thoughtfully, scratching his head distractedly as James, Lupin and Lily all stared at him.

'Sirius how could you!' cried James, obviously not recalling that half the spells had been fired from him. Sirius gaped at him.

'You're the one who printed asshole on his FOREHEAD!'

OooooooooO

'So you left him?' Lupin asked as they walked back to the common room, all squeezed under the protection of the Invisibility Cloak.

'Well I revived Annabel so she can decide what to do with him. Mind you I don't think she even recognised him,' Sirius added as an afterthought, sniggering quietly to himself causing Lily to 'shush' him.

Rounding the corner a certain blonde appeared in front of them, his/her large blue eyes swivelling over them. Lupin, who was in the lead, stopped dead in his tracks, Sirius soon crashing into from behind, sucking in his breath audibly as he stared in horror at the new arrival. It was a certain transvestite that Sirius had 'conversed' with at The Strip, no less than two weeks ago.

Percival's nose twitched as she/he heard movement, her/his ears appearing to be flapping, trying to detect any sound nearby. With that Sirius sniffed, clutching his nose in horror as Percival flung out his hand cautiously, coming in contact with what seemed like thin air. He smacked into Lupin, who surprised by the attack, tumbled into Sirius behind him. Then like a stack of dominos, Lupin, Sirius, Lily and James all crashed to the floor, the cloak sliding off of them and falling in a silver ripple at their feet.

Percival who had scrambled up, yelped loudly, howling at the attack. The students who had all been staring in shock, snapped back to life, grabbing the coat and struggling to pull it back over themselves. Through the din the echoing voice of Filch could be heard coming closer, searching for the sound of the racket.

Giving up the battle with the tangled cloak, Sirius shot quickly to his feet, his eyes scanning the hallway for Filch. Hearing his distant footsteps, Sirius cast a warning look to his friends and hurtled down the corridor to Percival's dismay, desperate to escape the transvestite. As Lupin watched his retreating back, he suddenly wondered why Sirius had been so eager to get away. After all Remus had never met Percival.

Lupin cursed Sirius under his breath and managed to throw the cloak over himself as Filch appeared in the dark passageway. Lily and James looked at each other in horror, now being the only ones detectable. Trying to scrape his thoughts together, James threw himself and Lily to the side, behind a statue of the witch. Breathing raggedly he scrambled for the wand in his pocket, which was difficult considering he and Lily were so tightly packed together.

'What are you doing here? Your not a student,' Filch said disgustedly, scanning Percival rudely as he brushed himself off, the tight leather skirt he was wearing straining over his muscular legs.

'I'm a visitor. I'm here to see someone,' he answered in his high pitched feminine tone. Filch snorted loudly and through him a dismissive glance before searching the corridor. Percival glanced around, looking for any sighs of Sirius, having recently heard of his split with his psycho girlfriend thanks to a drunk student early that night. He/she wasn't finished with him yet.

Meanwhile Filch seemed to be debating the easiest escape route that the rule breakers had taken. Looking over the statue of the witch that Mrs Norris, who had just appeared, seemed to be circling, he approached it cautiously. James seeing this tapped it gently and muttered an incantation (A/N can't remember how to spell it), magically opening the back of the witch's hump. Lily gasped in surprise but James quickly ushered her through, leading them both into a dark tunnel just as the entrance sealed shut.

Filch flung himself behind the statue where they had just been but found nothing. Eyeing it suspiciously he and Mrs Norris went in search of the others…

OoooooooooO

'Let me in dammit!' Sirius hollered at the Fat Lady, waving his wand threateningly.

'You know I can't let you Mr Black. You have to have the password. You do not. End of story,' she said mildly, examining her fingernails. Sirius glanced back along the corridor nervously, wondering if James, Lily and Lupin had escaped all right.

He had felt guilty running out on his friends but if he had uttered a warning then Filch and not to mention Percival, would have caught him too. It wasn't his fault that they weren't quick enough to run as well. Breathing loudly he clutched his wand, trying to figure out an alternate route into the portrait hole.

'Please let me in! You know it's me,' Sirius pleaded, sticking out his lower lip and eyeing her puppy dog style. She crossed her arms stubbornly.

'On no circumstances am I letting you in. No password, no entry. It's your fault for coming back at one thirty in the morning!'

'The password's Star Wars,' Lupin's voice cried out of nowhere. Whipping around Sirius looked down the empty corridor seeing nothing.

'Moony?' he muttered uncertainly when suddenly Lupin appeared in front of him, annoyed and flustered, the Invisibility Cloak clutched in his hands. Sirius yelped in shock, falling back into the portrait of the Fat Lady who was muttering angrily. 'Are you trying to kill me?'

'Do you really want me to answer that?' Lupin said mildly, raising his eyebrows at his friend before repeating the password to the Fat Lady, who reluctantly swung open.

'I totally knew the password. I was thinking Star and Wars. I was like what could it be. I practically knew it,' Sirius huffed to himself more than anything, collapsing on a sofa. Lupin looked at him sceptically but remained silent. Sirius paused for a moment then looked around. 'What happened to James and Lily?'

'We got separated.'

'You mean you ran off and left them,' Sirius said laughing. Lupin glared at him.

'You mean just like you did.'

'Shut up! It was necessary! That was Percival.' Sirius yelled, jumping from his seat and pacing backwards and forwards.

'Oh…who's Percival? She looked a lot like a man and did you see the clothes she was wearing. They didn't suite her strong build.' Lupin said thoughtfully, recalling the person that had revealed their late night wonderings.

'That is because the she is a he. I knew it was a easy mistake to make,' Sirius grumbled, kicking the table violently as Lupin's eyes lit up in realisation.

'Wait that's the transvestite you-'

'You dare say it and I will blow your ass straight back to the Room of Requirement.' Sirius waved his finger threateningly, his eyes sparkling with anger and humiliation. Lupin smiled slightly.

'Enough with the verbal abuse. I think I liked it better when you were snivelling all over the place.' Lupin crossed his arms and stared at Sirius defiantly who poked his tongue back in return.

'Don't act all high and mighty- oh hey James. Lily,' Sirius muttered staring at the portrait hole to which they had just entered. They looked terrible. Mud and dust was coated over each of them, Lily's hair was matted, they each had sweaty red faces and both looked as though they were about to murder their friends.

'Oh thanks a lot you guys. You just left us. Talking about saving your own skin. Geez,' Lily bellowed, throwing cushions at the very sheepish looking Marauders whereas James just stared at them blankly.

'James has forgiven us,' Sirius cooed sweetly, batting his eyelashes at Lily.

'That's because James can't remember what happened!'

'Hey! Cool it Lily Flower. You will soon forgive me once you realise that I have the answer to all your problems,' Sirius beamed.

'Well I think killing you will solve all my problems anyway,' Lily threatened, glaring disapprovingly the boy before her. Sirius gulped slightly, coughed nervously, but managed to keep his composure. Instantly a cocky grin was pasted back on his face.

'That won't solve James's little problem.'

'It'll make me very happy though.'

'Look you want James back to normal then you will have to do what I say,' Sirius continued, his eyes glinting mischievously. Lily gazed at him warily.

'I will do everything in my power to remember,' James stated to his friends as Sirius raised his eyebrows sceptically.

'Yes well unfortunately everything in your power at the moment, is not a whole hell of a lot,' he commented, causing James to scowl. Lily sighed and rolled her eyes, looking at Lupin for support.

'Look James can you remember anything?' Lupin asked, surveying him through narrowed eyes. James stared at him incredulously.

'Your asking me to remember what I've apparently forgotten?'

'In other words you don't remember,' Sirius chirped as James sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

'Not a damn thing.'

'Not even the lesson last week where you forgot your homework-'

'That wasn't his fault.' Lily defended James, glaring resolutely at Sirius who was apparently trying to refresh James' memory of the last few weeks.

'-called Snape a ugly fat git-'

'Ok that was his fault.' Lily nodded sheepishly as James laughed in amusement on what he had done.

'-and blew up Malfoy's cauldron,' Sirius concluded as Lily sniffled a laugh.

'I did all that?' James asked, a fat smile breaking across his face as Lupin tutted disapprovingly. Although he had lost his memory he still found it extremely amusing that Malfoy had a face covered in sludge, thanks to him. However Lily and Lupin didn't appear to happy about it. James groaned inwardly. They hadn't changed much over the last few months, with the exception of Lily losing her ever critical 'V' to him. This was the information that surprised him the most and he just wished he could remember his 'encounters' with her.

He never imagined that Lily would like him back let alone give her virginity to him.

'Who was that woman or man or whatever the hell it was?' Lily said, the memory of the blonde biker looking woman/man crashing into them. Staring at James she failed to see Sirius shift uncomfortably in his seat, suddenly appearing to be very interested in the carpet. At that exact moment the portrait swung open and a large lean yellow haired transvestite stood in the entrance, casting her beady eyes over Sirius who smiled timidly, praying to god he would just evaporate on the spot.

'How'd you get in here?' Lily said stonily, surveying the arrival with surprise. 'Your not a Gryffindor. Your not even at school here.'

'The Headmaster has given me permission to see someone,' Percival piped shrilly, causing everyone within earshot to wince. Sirius was now trying to bury himself under the cushions of the sofa, desperate to suffocate himself.

'Who?' prompted Lupin although he had already guessed the answer.

'Me,' Sirius squeaked, practically trying to dive further into the fluffy surface of the chair, hoping that when he resurfaced they had all gone away. Unfortunately for him peeking up at the onlookers he still found a now smiling Percival looking at him wistfully and James grinning around wildly, apparently enjoying the situation despite his lack of realization. He couldn't remember that when Sirius had told him about Percival a week ago, that he had actually announced to the school that Padfoot was gay. And obviously news travelled fast.

'I was speaking to one of my clients and they told me about your new decision. They said that you had come out about your new sexuality and had suddenly started crying all the time. I'm so sorry that I got you into it and persuaded you to bat for the other side,' Percival said, approaching Sirius who was know looking at her in pure horror. EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WAS GAY!

'Batting for the other side?' James snorted as the others looked at the transvestite as though his nose had dropped off.

'Who told you that?' Sirius said shakily, his happy visage of an hour ago having vanished quickly. He did feel like crying now.

'Dunno. Some bloke that goes to this school. He was really drunk. Apparently you split from your girlfriend in light of it too,' Percival continued, completely oblivious to the looks of shock and disbelief on everyone's faces.

'He split from his girlfriend because she was a raving loony. And coming out of closet? Are you crazy? Sirius would never be gay,' Lily interjected rudely.

'He was gay enough when I met him. He came onto me and everything,' Percival explained at Lily glanced at Sirius whose face blossomed scarlet.

'Everything was blurry,' he said in defence.

But Percival didn't seem to here him. He was closing the gap between himself and Sirius slowly, a lustful look glowing from his eyes. Sirius whimpered and smiled timidly, trying to back away without being downright rude.

'Whys he smiling? If that guy was looking at me like that I'd be running as fast as I could in the opposite direction,' James addressed Lily and Lupin, trying to analyse the situation.

Sirius was edging backwards, stumping over people's belongings on the floor and trying desperately to remain upright. If he fell over he felt sure that Percival would pounce on him. He was not going to give him that opportunity as long as there was still a breath left in his body.

'Look I'm not gay!' he cried in one last attempt to save himself as nobody else seemed to be.

'It's ok Sirius. It's nothing to be ashamed of.' Percival came forward, trying to pull Sirius into a tight hug to which Sirius recoiled, glancing around wildly for any kind of weapon. However Percival did not give up. Pushing his victim to himself towards him with such force, Sirius tried to make a grab for a nearby table. His hand clasped around a candlestick and his arm was flung forward by Percival's motion, causing it to hit Percival's head with a sickening clap.

His eyes rolling into the back of his head, Percival collapsed in a heap on the floor, Sirius towering over him, a look of shock evident on his face. Lily gasped and Lupin groaned, both fixing Sirius with a beady eyed stare.

'What!'

'That's it! You are never drinking again,' Lupin called, dashing towards the prone form of Percival and checking his pulse.

'Why? It's not like I hit him over the head with a beer bottle,' Sirius whined, instantly silenced by the look on Lupin's face.

'He's alive. Just knocked out. Anyway if you hadn't got drunk and made a pass at him or her in the first place then none of this would have happened,' Lupin growled as Sirius grinned sheepishly, shrugging his shoulders.

'You came onto a transvestite?' James asked, obviously completely lost.

'Yea he's bisexual,' Sirius said mildly, glancing at Percival crippled at his feet.

'Wait. He turned into a woman to be a lesbian?' James muttered as Sirius shrugged absently.

At that moment the portrait swung open for the second time late that night, to reveal none other than Vixen swaying distractedly on her feet and hiccupping loudly. She stumbled through and collapsed at James' feet to Lily's great displeasure. James looked at everybody and then at the figure grabbing distractedly at his legs.

'Um…why is there a strange lady laying at my feet?' he mumbled, looking closely at the slender body of Vixen. Her skin instead of glowing a soft bronze was a pale white, her usual glittering eyes were sluggish and dead looking and her golden hair was matted. However spitting and hiccupping on the floor, she still looked beautiful. James wondered who she was and why she was almost out cold.

'He betrayed me. He said he would not- hiccup- hurt the one pure of blood. He said it was for the other…the slime, the dirty blood,' she choked, coughing slightly and grabbing onto the hem of James' robes

'Um…what?' he said, looking around wildly. Everyone else seemed to be staring at Vixen in surprise, not having any idea what was going on as much as James.

'Tricked me…said mud blood's only. He didn't want to hurt her…his plan was to get the -hiccup- purebloods all along. Father always said never hurt somebody with blood such as your own… purebloods should stick together he said.' Vixen clenched James' robes and heaved herself up, bringing herself frighteningly close to him. Vixen glanced at Lily and scowled, her eyes shining with malice despite her drunken state.

'Vixen what's going on?' Lupin said hurriedly, trying to calm the situation.

'Her. He was supposed to get her. He never said he was after them instead,' Vixen

stammered, waving her hand dismally at Lily over James' shoulder, pressing herself up against him.

'What do you mean?' Sirius said apprehensively, side stepping over Percival's body and looking intently at the spluttering Vixen.

'Snape said! He lied! He said he was after that whore but he wanted you two.' Vixen indicated to Lily, while crying hoarsely. James looked at Vixen on his shoulder uncertainly and then back to his friends. Was someone ever going to tell him what was going on?

'Wait. You double crossed us. You spied on us,' Sirius yelped, staring at the 'angel' in disbelief.

'Not because of you. Because of the muggleborn. And now all I've done is hurt purebloods. My father always said there is disgrace in hurting your own kind. The pureblood kind,' she sobbed onto James. She stank of alcohol.

'What the hell do you think your doing with my boyfriend? You try and kill him and now your all over him. You bitch!' Lily yelled, losing all self composure and pushing her forcefully off a very confused looking James.

Vixen sobs turned in growls as she glared upon Lily, flinging her head back and flipping her shimmering hair over her shoulder. Her blue eyes that had moments before been dull and empty, erupted with life. Her anger was creating sparks around her body as though by static. At this point Lily had no doubt that Vixen was at least part Veela.

Gritting her teeth, Vixen threw herself at the opponent, sailing past James and crashing into Lily. Lily and her were thrown back, splintering a table as they skid across it, falling into a crumpled pile on the floor. Sirius yelped and watched in surprise as Lily and Vixen clambered to their feet, their wands forgotten.

Before anyone could even react Lily had reached Vixen once more, pouncing for her hair and issuing a warriors cry. Vixen shrieked by the unexpected attack and grasping on her hair as Lily pulled, frailing her legs about and finally booting her opponent in the stomach. Lily gasped and doubled over, releasing Vixen's hair and clasping her wounded body. James made to move forward, but Sirius flung out his arm to stop him.

A second later, before Vixen had a chance to recover, Lily swung her arm around and struck her clean in the face, sending her reeling backwards. Vixen lost her balance and hit the floor and Lily prepared to leap.

Before she could even move however, strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her backwards, away from Vixen who was spitting fury. Lily struggled, waving her arms and legs around but to no avail. James' arms had her clutched tightly.

Meanwhile Remus had stepped between the two and Sirius had a hold of Vixen's arm firmly.

'What the hell was that? Flying lessons?' Sirius growled Vixen, his eyes flashing in anger. How could of Vixen betrayed them?

'She deserved it,' she replied venomously, glaring pointedly at Lily who suddenly began struggling against James' strong grip. How dare she say that to her?

Sirius looked disgusted. In one swift movement he had thrown Vixen away from himself and onto the floor, where she whimpered pathetically. Lily who was still be restrained by the confused looking James glowered evilly. Vixen seeing the anger evident on Sirius' face looked to Remus for support, who looked stonily at her. In one last desperate attempt she turned to James, her lip bleeding and body swollen. His eyebrows knitted together in confusion as she stared pleadingly up at him. He felt Lily writhe in his arms once more.

'Stay away from my boyfriend you whore!' she squealed, kicking her legs out against James.

'Your not going to have much of a boyfriend left if you keep kicking him,' Sirius smiled slightly, watching as Lily fell limp once more. He was right. If she kept trying to kill Vixen she was going to end up killing James. Breathing in audibly, Lily tossed her head back and tried to regain her composure.

From the other side of the room, Percival gave a slight moan. Sirius glanced at him apprehensively but he was still out of it. On the other hand at least he was showing signs of life.

'Come on James. Lets go get your memory back,' Lily said, looking eyes with him and tugging herself firmly from his grip. He nodded and they swept away, Lily casting one last glare back at Vixen while taking James' hand.

Although it was dark, Lily swore she saw a glistening tear run down Vixen's check and hit the floor…

OooooooO

WARNING: Sexual content

Although Sirius hadn't actually revealed his magnificent plan about reclaiming James' memory, he had given a fair few hints. Lily felt sure she knew what to do. Reaching the common room, she took James in her arms, kissing him savagely.

He was stunned to say the least but soon responded. Typical, Lily thought.

James had twined his fingers into the deep red locks at the nape of her neck and was
slowly kissing her…soft yet passionate…everyway he'd wanted to kiss her in the
past few years. It was one of the best things he had ever felt in his life. It felt so familiar yet he couldn't remember doing anything of the sort. Lily had always hated him.

Ignoring the voice in his head that was wondering what the hell was going on, James decided to go with it.

Lily sensing his eagerness, decided to make it easier for him. Pulling away from him slightly for easier movement she unhooked her robes, letting them fall to the floor in a black puddle. James' eyes went wide as he stared at his underwear clad girlfriend and stumbled back. He was obviously hesitating.

James never dreamed that he would have Lily in this way, so he was surprised to say the least. He didn't understand what was going on.

Lily approached him slowly, putting her finger against his lips, silencing him.

'Let me show you. Trust me. I'll make you understand,' she whispered into his ear, her breath tickling his neck. He glanced at her uncertainly, standing stone still, weighing out his options. He had always wanted to be with her but it had never seemed possible and here she was practically offering it to him. There was love and lust in her eyes that he had seen before, as though from a distant memory. Flashes of her emerald eyes swam in his mind, but he couldn't place when he had seen them. Previously all Lily looked at him with was anger.

Running her hands through his hair tenderly, she leaned in for another kiss. Lips sliding across his affectionately the kiss soon became more passionate. His hands had slid around her slender waist and her arms gripped around his neck, desperately pulling him closer. His fingers brushed against her bare white skin, feeling her beautiful curves gently. He didn't want to push his luck.

Lily pulled back gasping as James watched her in a hazy, drugged-like state, his hands
still on and around her. He lifted a hand and pushed some of her hair back away
from her face, and she her eyes fluttered closed at the simple contact. She loved him so much and she needed him to know that. She wanted to prove her love.

Grabbing his hand and leading him up to his bedroom, she felt his eyes upon her as she walked. She suddenly realised that due to his lack of memory, he couldn't remember her body. She became nervous. What if he didn't like it. After all he was far more experienced than her. She had only slept with him and that was only once.

Turning towards him in the darkened room she felt his lips brush her neck, sending butterflies through her stomach. He began to suck at her pearly skin, causing her to fling her head back for better access. Gently detangling herself from him she walked to his bed, her back facing him. Knowing he was watching she pulled back the covers and brought her hands around to her bra strap, unhooking it slowly. Without revealing anything to him, she slipped under the covers, looking at him suggestively.

He walked towards her, savouring the moment. Her hair was fanned out across the pillow like a feathery fire, highlighting her glowing white face. He could vaguely see soft red blotches down her neck and close to her chest. He hadn't actually realised that he had had been that near to her intimate parts.

Pulling off his own robes, revealing his toned and muscular chest he approached her, running his hands softly through her hair. He followed her under the covers, feeling his naked front pressed against hers. Kissing her again he ran his hands up her sides, feeling her shiver beneath his touch.

'Please James,' she muttered quietly, tugging on his boxers. His arousal was evident and it made her ache with need. She remembered her first time and how James had been of careful, concentrating hard not to hurt her. She wished he remembered it too because she was becoming frighteningly nervous. According to him their previous night together was none existent.

His lips and hands ran across her body, causing her to moan softly. Climbing on top of her, he looked down at her naked chest, causing her to blush delicately. His fingers ran over her, exploring what had been revealed to him. Glancing at her hesitantly he moved his hands between her thighs, fingering the supple material of her thong. She nodded to him, giving him permission to proceed.

Pulling her underwear down her legs he kissed her lips, reassuring her. His hands gently rubbing her he smiled as she gasped, bucking up her willowy hips towards him. Inserting his fingers in occasionally his mouth sucked on her breast, making her squirm and wriggle beneath him.

Flashes of seeing her body exposed and on the brink of rapture in this very same room came back to him, and he remembered thinking how gorgeous she was then. Flares of recognition exploded in his mind, Lily's echoing voice in his head screaming his name. He never dreamed that he would be with someone so elite and extraordinary. He had always wished that he could do this to her.

Extracting his fingers from her hot depths, he removed his boxers, watching her as she breathed shallowly, her glazed eyes staring up at him. Placing himself at her entrance he paused one last time, rechecking her decision. She nodded vigorously, gripping his shoulders as he plunged.

Within minutes they were gasped and moaning together, James' mind flickering with images as he looked lovingly at her. The Wreck, him and Annabel, Lily beside him, the broomstick cupboard and unfortunately Snape's fuming face, ran through his mind. As he came to his peck, his memory was fully restored and most importantly he had the girl he loved beneath him.

Exhausted Lily curled up to him, as he wrapped himself around her.

'I love you,' he whispered quietly into her hair as she drifted to sleep. Surprisingly she replied.

'I love you too.'

OooooooO

'Hey James my man, how are you?' Sirius chirped as he and Lily arrived to breakfast the next morning.

'Memory fully restored,' answered James, smiling at Lily who blushed at looked at the floor.

'Oh I wonder how that happened,' Sirius replied sarcastically as Lily threw him a glare. He ignored it and grabbed some toast of the table, smiling innocently. Lupin rolled his eyes, before returning to his paper.

'Yes well I also remember that despite everything your two dares remain incomplete. I can't believe you failed both of them,' James answered smugly. This time Sirius was the one to glare.

'Whatever,' he mumbled, stuffing his mouth full of food. James grinned madly, also reaching for his breakfast. Lupin looked up at them all, a stern look on his face.

'So have you learnt your lessons? That dares are bad,' he said pointedly causing his fellow Marauders to sigh. James chuckled lightly.

'The only thing I've learnt is to never let Sirius loose.' James ducked a flying roll sent at him by his friend while avoiding Lupin's gaze. 'Ok ok I've learnt my lesson. I'm ready for a whole new year.'

Lupin nodded approvingly, wandering what the remainder of the year had in store for them. After all they had only been back two weeks and so much had already happened. He wondered what Sirius would do next, for his fun was far from over. The year had just begun.

Kissing Lily gently on the lips, James suddenly remembered something.

'What happened to everyone that was involved with us in the last couple of weeks?' he asked, looking at Sirius who was now snorting with laughter. Even Lupin could not hide a smile.

'Uh…' The Marauders smiled at each other, relishing the moment. What did the rest of the year have in store for them…?

OooooooO

At the other end of the school, four people led on small white beds, side by side. Madam Promfrey entered the hospital wing, surveying her patients with narrowed eyes.

Snape, Vixen, Annabel and Percival all led down quietly, each sporting depressed and angry expressions, their bodies in bandages. Snape glanced at Annabel, his paint surrounded eyes glaring at her.

'This is all your fault,' he muttered…
