Chapter Six: An Embarrassing Conversation (sort of)

The four girls made their way down the stone steps to the Entrance Hall. They were meeting their dates there. Lily had been released from the Hospital wing earlier this morning and was allowed to go to Hogsmeade today. They stood waiting by the doors for the boys to come,

"And they make fun of us for being late all the time…the other students are leaving." Kyleigh whined sticking her head out the door to confirm that yes, everyone else was leaving.

"We won't be able to go if all the teacher's have left." Karmatha said worriedly.

By the time the boys had arrived five minutes latter, everyone was gone. Therefore the girls were not too pleased.

"Just follow us, and don't complain we're going to Hogsmeade," Remus stated, "and we were late because Sirius couldn't find he trainers."

"Well I didn't think they would be under my pillow…"

"Shut up Black," James cut Sirius off.

The nine of them walked across the school grounds and stopped in front of the Whomping Willow. After carefully prodding a knot in the tree, the branches that were lashing out in every direction froze. Sirius started walking towards a small opening in the ground, that the girls didn't notice before, but soon stopped when he realized they weren't following him.

"Well, do you want to go to Hogsmeade or not?" Remus asked, after noticing their faces he added, "It's perfectly safe it leads into Hogsmeade."

The girls reluctantly followed Sirius down the tunnel. The order went as follows: Sirius, James, Lily, Kyleigh, Karmatha, Deanna, Robert, Peter and Remus. The first two were having an interesting conversation, that if you didn't know what they were talking about you'd be lost. What ever they were taking about they didn't want to be over heard by anybody. After awhile of walking through the tunnel the group reached a dust covered room with badly damaged furniture.

"Where are we?" Kyleigh asked bewildered.

" The Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade" the Marauders answered as they led everyone outside. A short walk later and soon all nine of them reached the main part of Hogsmeade where the split up into two groups. Group one consisted of James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, and Robert, group two was the girls. The boys headed to Zonko's while the girls went to Honeydukes. They were all going to meet up half an hour later at the Three Broomsticks.

Half an hour later the boys all had bags of 'precious supplies' that were for 'teaching the Slytherins a lesson'. The girls had bags full of: Sugar Quills, Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans, Ice Mice, Fizzing Wizbeys, Acid Pops, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Liquorice Wands, Jelly Slugs, and Blood-Flavoured Lollipops (for Karmatha, which Kyleigh found both odd and gross).

All nine Gryffindors found a table at the Three Broomsticks and ordered eight Butterbeers. Lily was talking to Robert about random topics, Karmatha and Remus were talking about mythical creatures (mostly werewolves and vampires), Kyleigh, Sirius, James and Peter were talking about the revenge they were planning for the Slytherins, and Deanna was reading a book.

With all the excitement that had happened the last couple of days, making out with her boyfriend for seven minutes on the Quidditch pitch and fighting evil Slytherins, Kyleigh almost forgot about the thing Sirius said they would talk about later. While she just remembered that he said that they would talk and now was later…

"Sirius you said that we would talk later," Kyleigh said interrupting Sirius in mid speech.

"About what," he replied trying to sound confused even though he knew full well what she wanted to talk to him about.

"You know the thing I saw,"

"Oh that, I was kind of hoping that you would have either forgotten about it or you would never bring that up. We can talk about that tonight in private, when nobody can overhear us."

"But I want to talk now! Right here right now, not later!" Kyleigh retaliated.

By now the other seven had stopped talking and were listening intently, two knowing what the thing in question was the other five were rather confused. The two that knew kind of were hoping that Sirius wouldn't go into to much depth of what 'it' was and how, when, with whom and why he got 'it'.

Sirius of course would rather not talk about 'it' at all but he knew how stubborn Kyleigh was. If he didn't talk freely she would hex it out of him, in the most painful way she knew how. Either way he would not be happy, but he rather be unhappy pain free.

"Well I got 'it' this summer with James and Remus," Sirius began to explain, any hope that James and Remus had was gone, " 'it' happens to be a tattoo of two beater bats. There you got your explanation…"

"But Black you forgot to go into detail about whose names you have on your butt." James interrupted; he decided to help out the explanation because Sirius seemed to be staying far from the detail of his tattoo.

Sirius sighed, he would humiliate then kill his best friend later, "That's not important," he said going the palest tinge of pink, barley noticeable.

"You have names in the beater bats?" Kyleigh asked half surprised half hurt. James and Remus nodded their heads yes, "Okay, what are you trying to hide from me?" Kyleigh demanded. For the first time, in his life Sirius seemed speechless.

"Don't make me jinx it out of you." Kyleigh said threateningly.

In a quiet whisper he replied, "Sirius and Kyleigh forever." Kyleigh laughed.

"You're joking." She said blatantly,

"No actually he's not." Remus said with a look of pure disgust on his face,

"Yeah, well James has one that is a golden snitch with LE in it!" Sirius pointed out very childishly.

"That's correct." James said proudly.

"Your not going to go on about me being your one true love again are you?" Lily said irritably.

"But, Lily sweetie you are." James said.

"Since when am I your sweetie? Don't you think I should have a say in your obsession?"

"Wait, Sirius said that he got his this summer with James and Remus and we can assume that James got his at the same time does that mean that Remus has one too?" Karmatha cut in, having witnessed a James/Lily love/hate fight before she did not wish to see a repeat of what happened.

Remus blushed a light shade of red, "Yeah he does," James and Sirius answered Karmatha's question because Remus seemed incapable of speech. "We had to bug him to get it he almost didn't get one, but we can be very persuasive."

"What did he get," Kyleigh asked, everybody seemed curious to know.

"The words 'Big Bad Wolf'" Remus muttered. Everybody (minus James, Sirius and Peter) stared in disbelief.

Finally Deanna broke the silence, "But why that?"

"Because…Remus has a strange liking…for wolves…especially the one in the muggle fairytale…The Three Little Pigs, the one Lily read us last year." Sirius supplied (or at least tried to) a reasonable cover up story, to why Remus would have 'Big Bad Wolf' tattooed on his body. Every looked at Remus a little odd but believed Sirius story; Karmatha gave Remus a look of understanding.

"We need to get back to school for supper," Lily suddenly blurted.

"Plus I know Snivellius would love an excuse to tell a teacher and give us detention," Kyleigh added to Lily's sentence, "how he became a prefect I will never know…"

Later that night in the boys dormitories, James was complaining about what Lily sees in Robert (in his opinion there is nothing and he's better), and Sirius was freaking out over the fact that Kyleigh didn't give him one little kiss.

"James Lily probably only went to Hogsmeade with Roberts so that you would get upset. And Sirius it's not the end of the world if Kyleigh doesn't snog you senseless everyday, Karmatha doesn't snog me everyday and I don't complain…" Remus trailed off. "So is the Marauders map almost finished," he asked trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, we just have a few technical details to work out. We should be able to carry out the master plain in January," Sirius and James said together proudly.

Meanwhile in the girls dorms. Kyleigh was going ballistics "OH MY GOSH! I FORGOT TO SNOG HIM! HOW COULD I FORGET TO SNOG HIM! HE PROBABLY THINKS I HATE HIM! WHY DIDN'T YOU THREE REMIND ME! WHAT IF-"

"Kyleigh come down," Lily said as she watched her best friend freak out.

"Sirius is not going to break up with you," Karmatha added.

After Kyleigh was calm, she ran down the stairs leading into the Gryffindor common room and up the stairs that lead to the boys' dorms. She flung open the fifth years door and walked over to Sirius's bed she bent down and kissed him. "Sorry felt bad, forgot to kiss you today and I was driving Lily, Karmatha, and Deanna mad." Kyleigh said when she stopped snogging Sirius.

"She doesn't hate me after all," Sirius announced, "and you were worried that she did hate me James. You were wrong she's madly in love with me."

James just shook his head, while Remus was having a laughter fit.

"That's right," Kyleigh announced proudly, "James was wrong and I am in love with you." She bounced out of the boys dorm and back into the girls dorm. Where she noticed that Deanna was asleep and both Lily and Karmatha had their pyjamas on (Karmatha was also reading a book entitled Creatures of the night). Changing into her own pyjamas, Kyleigh climbed into her bed, after talking with Lily for an hour Ky fell asleep. Shortly after Kyleigh fell asleep Lily did too, and Karmatha climed out of bed, down the stairs into the Gryffindor common room and out the common room and into the deserted hallways. Carefully Karmatha walked down the flights of stairs and outside into the cold night air. Unknown to her she passed James and Sirius who were making their way back to the Gryffindor common room from the kitchens, under the invisibility cloak.
