Chapter 21: Discoveries

Enjoy:

After being yelled at by the medi-witch for an hour (and getting a detention) Carly and Sirius stumbled into bed. The next day Carly awoke from a loud bang. Groaning she stumbled to follow the sound. As she walked down the step she was greeted with a whistle and a couple cat calls. She turned towards the people making the sounds. Males, she thought rolling her eyes and looking at what they were whistling about. She had on one of Sirius' shirts and that was all. Blushing a little bit she shook her head,

"What was that sound?" A 5th year, Tony Stevens, grinned and jerked his head towards James. James stood there in full quidditch uniform with a large pan in one hand and a large spoon in the other. He grinned manically at her and stared at the group forming at the steps,

"All where waiting for now is-"

"I'm HERE!" Sirius said running down the steps in just boxers. "You could have gotten me up before." He said bumping in to James as he passed him. James rolled his eyes,

"Okay I'm giving you all fifteen minutes to change and come back down here. Anyone late is going to suffer some consciousness (An: SP?)." The team rolled their eyes and tumbled back up the steps. Carly hung back for a second. Sirius caught her eye and walked over to her weaving his hands around her waist,

"I like seeing you in my shirt." He whispered. She smirked,

"And I like seeing you in…that." She whispered back. The clock chimed eight and Sirius lowered his head to give her a kiss. Carly pulled back a serious expression on her face,

"No. I don't want to be distracted. It's game time." With that she left a gapping Sirius and walked back up the steps adding a little sway in her hips. He groaned watching her leave and went up his own steps.

When Carly was safely in her own dorm she shut the door and slid down it. Lily poked her head out of her hangings,

"Everything alright?" Lily asked,

"I have a game today."

"I knew that."

"Oh, okay." With that she stood up and went into her trunk pulling out her uniform.

"Is that all?" Lily asked getting out of bed and pulling out her own clothes. Carly nodded,

"I'm trying to get into the zone."

"The zone?"

"Yes, the zone. It's really hard when Sirius' face keeps popping into my head."

"What's the zone?" Lily said stepping into the bathroom. Carly joined her fully clothed and started brushing her hair,

"The zone is a forbidden ground only to be entered by me. It's sort of a hallucinatory state that all I can see is the game. All I can hear is the game. It's like my own battlefield. You wouldn't understand." She said putting toothpaste on her toothbrush. Lily raised an eyebrow,

"Yeah your right I don't understand." Lily said. Carly rolled her eyes and pulled her hair into a tight pony-tail. Carly checked her watch and cursed running out of the dorm. She whipped down the stair case running into the seeker, Joey Keller. Joey turned around and helped her up. She blushed and thanked him and took her spot,

"Okay team," James said standing up, "we are a team correct." Everyone muttered a yes, "So we're going to act like a team,"

"What do you mean James?" Sirius drawled as if he said this every time. James growled at Sirius,

"We're going to eat as a team. And you are eating." He added to the younger players. Sasha, the keeper, grinned,

"No problem there Jamey boy." She said thumping him on the back and walking out of the common room. Every one followed. As Carly was walking out Sirius stopped her,

"You chipped me this morning." He said in her ear. She ignored him and followed Frank Longbottem out of the common room. Sirius growled,

"She's in the Zone." Someone said behind him. He turned to find Lily hand in hand with James. Sirius raised an eyebrow and Lily shrugged, "She said you where distracting her from her zone."

"That's a good thing?" He asked climbing out of the portrait hole. Lily shrugged again,

"I assume so." Sirius grinned seeming to like this answer and walked towards the great hall with an extra bounce in his step.

"Welcome to the second quidditch match of the season! I'm Remus Lupin, accompanied by the great Lily Evans." Remus' voice boomed over the loud stadium,

"We have an exciting match today," came Lily's voice, "Slytherin versus Gryffindor!" The entire stadium cheered,

"For your low picking nasty colored-"

"Remus Lupin!" Came McGonagall's loud shrill,

"Sorry professor, for the Slytherins we have the captain and keeper Baddock." The Gryffindors booed while the Slytherins cheered, "The chasers Bletchley, Bole, and Derrick. The beaters Pucey and Warrington. And your seeker Malfoy." Remus said all these names as if they where a curse word. Lily waited for the cheers and boos to die down,

"And for your favorite and fifth time quidditch cup winners Gryffindor!" The Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and Gryffindors all cheered while the Slytherins boos where drowned out. "You captain and extremely hot chaser Potter." James flew out with a wide grin on his face. Flying quickly past Lily he blew a kiss and went onto the field, "You're other chasers Stevens and Mullet! Next the beaters Black and Longbottem." A couple cat calls and whistles could be heard from the female part of the crowd, "Next your keeper Winker and last but not least your seeker Keller."

"Now I want a fair game." A young Madam Hooch said to the two captains. James shook the Slytherins hand it both looked like he was daring the other to let go first. "From all of you." She added looking at the intense look between Sirius and Malfoy. "On my whistle. Three…two…" She blew it and the ball where released and the players took off. Carly quickly grabbed the quaffle and passed it to Stevens who passed back to Carly who scored. Sirius flew after the bludger wailing at Bletchley who dropped the quaffle. James picked it up and flew to the goal. Pucey fired the bludger at James who dodged it and instead it hit Baddock sending him off his broom. James took advantage of the situation and scored. The game continued on with Slytherin only scoring a goal by accident. What happened was that Stevens had taken a bludger to the head and mixed up the goals and scored in the Gryffindor by accident.

"And I don't believe it Gryffindor wins again!" Remus said sarcastically after Keller caught the snitch. James flew by Remus and made a rude hand gesture before giving Lily a kiss. That night in the Gryffindor common room Sirius cornered Carly and pulled her away from the party.

"My conscious would like to remind you that you'll be waking up to him tomorrow instead of yours." He whispered kissing her neck. She grinned,

"Same for you." Sirius stopped and looked up, "It said it would rather see what it was like in your head instead of having complete control over you." Sirius grinned and went back to her neck. Carly tilted her head for him and he grinned. She shook her head and pulled his to face her. With a last glint in her eyes she captured his lips in a kiss. A few…Carly couldn't even remember…somethings later Sirius pulled away,

"It's weird you know?" He asked. She raised an eyebrow, "Every time I kiss you it's like the first time I've ever kissed."

"And we both know that's not true." She added. He smirked,

"Is it the same for you?" He asked looking into her eyes. She searched his face trying to understand what he meant. A loud click went off in her mind and she grinned,

"…yes…" He smirked and kissed her again. He quickly pulled away and grabbed her hand pulling her in a different direction. "We are we going?"

"You'll see." He said pulling her up the boy's stair case. Carly gulped and slowly followed. She was dreading what would happen next. She caught Lily's eye as she turned the corner into the boy's dorm. Lily to gulped.

"What's wrong?" James said from beside her. Lily pointed towards the staircase. James caught on,

"Well good," he said grinning, "It's about freaking time." He said. His expression changed when he saw Lily's grim face, "What?"

"She…I…she's…" James snorted,

"She's a virgin? Really? Sirius is in for a surprise." James added turning towards Remus. Lily pulled at her collar and stared at the steps. A couple girls in the shadows grinned and began to whisper among them selves. Thinking fast Lily ran up the steps into her own dormitory and pulled out an old wrinkled book. Flipping the pages she came to a passage:

The Immaculate Pristine Charm can only be charmed by the parents of the female child. It has three symptoms:

Female child can not have sexual relationships with any male.

Female child will not go through monthlies

If the birth mother dies the charm can never be broken

The charm can be lifted by the correct counter-charm. You must wave your wand counter clockwise five time repeating the words Chasteness Pureness over and over again. Then you must whisper the full names of both of the female child's birth parents. Then the spell can be broken.

The female will go through a month of constant "monthlies" then she will be ready to forgo sexual relationships.

Lily gasped and dropped the book. She never saw this part before:

The only other way the charm can be broken is if the female child finds her true love.

Running down the steps she crossed her fingers. James stopped her,

"What's going on?" He asked. Lily shook her head and looked up the boy's steps,

"Have Carly or Sirius come down yet?" James thought for a second then shook his head. Lily let out a sigh of relief. She was still battling with herself though. On one hand, she thought, it could be a really good thing; on the other hand Sirius might not be her true love… Either way she promised herself that she would tell Carly the next time she saw her.

Sirius opened the dorm room and pushed Carly in. He came up behind her encircling his hands around her waist and kissing her neck. She took a deep breath and faced him. He took her open mouth as a sign and kissed her. He picked her up and led her to the bed. Placing her down carefully; he laid down beside her and began kissing her again. He began to run his hand up her thigh when she pulled back,

"Wait." She said looking away. "There's something I need to tell you…before we go…any further." Sirius let out a sigh and sat up. She sat up also put a comforting hand on his leg, "It's nothing to bad I guess…It's just I can't do it."

"Can't do what?" He asked,

"I can't…you know." Sirius took Carly's hand in his. Letting out a chuckle,

"You mean you're a virgin?" Carly blushed and nodded. Sirius grinned,

"That's okay. I'll wait." Carly gasped, "I'm not the devil you know. I do respect you. Although I am quite shocked. You don't give off the aura of a virgin." Carly giggled and then shook her head,

"I'm no prude you know. Anyway its not that I don't want too. Trust me I do." Sirius smirked, "It's just even if I wanted to I couldn't." Sirius raised an eyebrow,

"What?" Carly took a deep breath,

"It's just my dad." Dark expressions passed onto their faces but was gone quickly, "put a charm or curse you choose on me when I was a baby." Sirius nodded.

"We can still snog can't we?" He asked. She nodded and pulled him on top of her again.

That night after Carly left Sirius lay in bed not being able to sleep. Damn, he muttered to himself. Well sorry about the little guy. Shut up you. You know if that was any other girl you would have dumped her. I thought we've been over this before. Yeah yeah she's not any other girl. It's just I'm getting a little randy and I can tell the lack of it is driving you nuts…no pun intended. I really hate you. I can't wait until your gone tomorrow. Her conscious is no better. Great. Tell me what you know about Carly. What do you want to know? How desperately she wants to shag you? (Sirius smirked) You like that don't you? Yeah well she's discovering new things too. Like what? Her little friend…what's her name? The hot red head? Lily? Yeah her…she found out a way to break the charm. (Sirius sat up) No way? Well her conscious is having it's own battle. What's that? It can't decide whether or not to tell Carly another way of breaking the charm. What's the other way? If she finds her true love. WHAT! Well apparently if you aren't Carly's true love it'll break both of your hearts. Don't deny it. You know it'll break yours. Well she doesn't want Carly to go through the heart break. Oh…that's nice I guess. But I'd still want to know…you know? Yeah…there is only one way to find out. Alright, but tomorrow you cant tell Carly anything alright? Sure. Sure. What ever. I just want to get inside her…Shut up you. Sirius bolted up and ran out of the dormitory were he found Lily.

Lily was going to tell Carly when Carly entered the dorm that night, but she couldn't. Carly just seemed to happy. She didn't want to break her heart. Later that night Lily couldn't sleep and began pacing in the common room.

"Lily?" She looked up to see Sirius walking down the steps. It looked like he had been tossing in his sleep for hours. Sirius took a seat in front of the fire and motioned for Lily to join him. She sat down next to him,

"What's wrong?" She asked,

"I know about Carly and everything." She nodded, "And I know both ways to fix it." Lily stood up,

"Sirius Black!" She shrieked causing Sirius to jump, "If all you care about is getting into Carly's pants then maybe you two shouldn't be together!" Sirius stood up,

"That's not it Evans. When you and James get…together it's different isn't it?" He shot back. Lily blushed looking down and nodded, "You do it only to prove how much you love him right?" She nodded again, "Carly isn't like any other girl Lily." He said quietly, "She's my…like everything. She's the missing piece. You know what I mean?" Lily looked up and nodded, "All I want to do is prove to Carly that I love her. Wouldn't it be obvious if all I wanted to do was get into her pants? Wouldn't I have broken up with her once I new she couldn't…?" Lily nodded again,

"So you know both ways?" She whispered. He nodded,

"Did you tell Carly the one way?" Lily shook her head violently. Sirius let out a sigh of relief, "Can…can I tell her?" He asked in a small voice. Lily thought for a second,

"You do know what would happen if it doesn't work right?" Sirius nodded, "And you do know Sirius Black that you are in a high risk of getting her pregnant?" He nodded, "You do know all the right charms right?" He looked at her appalled. Lily giggled, "Then fine tell her…just be careful alright?" Sirius sat back down,

"You have no idea. I feel like I'm going to break her (AN: really sick pun if it was intended…I'm such a perv…) every time we touch. It's just…I don't know…"

"I'd never thought I'd see the day Sirius Black fell in love.."

"What!"

"You love her." Lily said again sitting back down. Sirius shook his head,

"I do."
