AN: Yay, I got reviews! They make me soo happy! I was skipping, skipping! I got some odd looks from people, but I was happy, so I skipped!
cofcgirl: Yes, poor, poor Sirius. He's going to get alot more. -Sigh- I feel mean! But I am a 'happy endings' person.
Coulter: I feel the same about Peter. Sure he grew up to be a complete and utter jerk, but the Marauders wouldnt have liked him if he wasnt awesome at some point, right? And I've read to many fics about Remus all smitten with Sirius, so I decided to make it the other way around!
Viosil Uab: Yay! I rock somebody's socks! Thats so awesome! Thanks for reviewing and you can have some more cookies if you'd like! Big chocolate ones. Oh and your English is really good by the way!
Thoughts without purpose: Thanks, I'll try!
Karamela: Yes, I feel sorry for him, but he'll be fine... eventually! Thanks for the review!
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Previously in The Plan: I felt as thought I suddenly had no insides. I had to find a way for him to forget all about the girl Ravenclaw. I didn't think I would be able to survive if I had to see him kiss someone who wasn't me. In fact, I knew I wouldn't survive.
Chapter 3: A Planning James
I stayed in that bathroom for nearly two hours.
I couldn't see the point of going back to the dorm and listening to the others talk about my Moony and some girl. Stupid Ravenclaw Bint. Messing up my life.
I eventually decided that I'd better head back, or the others might have gone looking for me in the Infirmary, and that might have lead to some awkward questions.
It was just after curfew as I made my way back slowly. I wouldn't have cared if I had bumped into a teacher or Filch, I have more terrible matters to deal with than a detention and some lost house points. But luckily, I didn't run into any teachers anyway. As I reached the Fat Lady, I wiped my face, to rid it of any evidence that I had spent the last two hours crying.
I was about to say the password when the portrait opened in my face.
"Padfoot!" It was Peter. James and Remus were right behind him. "We were just about to come and see if you were alright."
"You sounded like you were really sick when you left, are you sure you're all right?" James interrupted.
"You left in a hurry, we worried." It made me smile. It always made me smile when Remus said he cared, even if it was strictly 'friendship care.'
"Guys, I'm fine. Madam Pomfrey thought I was seriously sick. It took ages to convince that I just had an upset stomach." The relieved look on Remus's face caused me to momentarily forget all about Linda Cartwater.
Maybe Cartwater doesn't exist after all.
"Well why you were gone, the three of us devised a plan to help Moony steal the heart of his dear Lindy."
Or maybe she does.
"Linda." Peter whispered.
"Right. Linda. Meant that."
A plan? There cant be a plan!
I tried not to let the disappointment show on my face. I put on the best smile I could and asked,
"Well, lads, are you going to share this plan?"
"Come, dear Padfoot, sit." James ushered me to the couch by the fire. He sat on my left, a very tired looking Remus sat on my right (causing me to shiver slightly) then Peter sat next to Remus.
"Wormtail, would you care to share the details?" Peter looked at me, then at Remus, then settled his gaze at the floor and sighed.
"Well, James made it up mostly. But Remus has all ready agreed to it-" He looked up just in time to see the disappointment flicker across my face. "- and he's going to start it tomorrow. Well, yes, the plan, right. He's-"
"Peter you're telling it to slow!" James interrupted, sounding like a five year old. He then proceeded to tell me. When he was finished, I wasn't impressed. It was a terrible plan.
"So. You're telling me, that the best you, James Potter, could come up with, was that?" He nodded vigorously.
His plan was to have Remus bump into her in the Great Hall tomorrow morning, knock her over, help her with her books, then walk her to class. It really was terrible.
"You couldn't come up with anything better?" I inwardly punched myself. This was good. If they had a terrible plan, then maybe Cartwater wouldn't fall for Remus, and I could go on with life! I didn't want to think about this, about anything.
James went to speak again, but I interrupted.
"Im tired, I'm going to bed."
"Sirius, its only-" Peter glanced at his watch "blimey, we had better get to bed, we have class tomorrow! Moony, did you look at my essay for me? Moony?" We all looked at Remus. He had fallen asleep.
His breathing was shallow and light. His head rested gently on the back of the couch, the moonlight from the window cast shadows over his face. All it did was make me realise how much I wanted to be with him. James smiled and went to wake him.
"Wait, don't." I stood up and, with some difficulty as I didn't want to wake him, I pulled him up into my arms and carried him back to the dorm, the others right behind me.
In his sleepy state he pulled his arms up and wrapped them around my neck, succeeding in burying his face in my neck. I could feel his breath on my skin, it was coming slow and relaxed, it sent shivers all the way to my toes.
Being in such close proximity to him made my head go slightly fuzzy. I could smell him, it was intoxicating. I didn't want it to end, but unfortunately for me, the journey to our dorm was a short one.
With some difficulty, the three of us managed to get him out of his robe without waking him. I must admit, my ability to keep myself calm while I was sliding his robe of his shoulders surprised me.
I went to place him in his bed when he stirred slightly, rubbing his lips against my neck. He didn't wake but his sudden movement against me made me not want to put him down. I wanted to hold him forever.
When I did eventually place him in his bed, I stopped to stare at him, and gently brushed his fringe away from the eyes in which it had fallen. An odd feeling had settled in my stomach ever since I had found out that he fancied Cartwater.
I sighed slightly as I pulled the curtains around his bed, trying not to think about tomorrow, when he would put this stupid plan into action.
Goodnight Remus.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
I groaned as he started to lick a path down my throat. I reached out to try and touch him, needing to feel his skin on mine, but I couldn't find him.
All I could feel were his lips and his tongue, now making their way down to my chest.
I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn't get the words out. Suddenly I felt his lips leave me.
Before I could whine at the loss of heat, I felt a mouth covering mine. I could have stayed like this forever. I felt a hand following the path his mouth had left down my chest, as his lips moved up my jaw, and he kissed his way to my ear.
A moan was torn form my throat as his lips closed around my earlobe. He started whispering in my ear.
"Sirius…" I tried to reply but found I still couldn't speak, so I groaned in appreciation.
"Sirius…" I, again, found that I couldn't speak, and just moaned and whimpered at him.
"Sirius, Sirius."
"Sirius, SIRIUS!" I jerked awake to find my three dorm mates staring down at me. All wearing smug smirks. The sun was only just coming through the window, and they were all still in their pyjama's, so it must have still been early.
"Having quite the dream were you, Padfoot?" James teased, pointing at my groin. I looked down and-
Oh. Merlin. I felt my eyes widen in shock as I realised that my dream had awoken certain parts of my body.
The three of them looked at each other, then burst into fits of laughter.
"Shut up! Gits." It did nothing to stop them, and I sat up, ignoring the problem in my pants, and rubbing my tired eyes. "What time is it?"
"Oh, that was funny." Remus answered, wiping a tear of laughter from his eye. Oh that's right, just stomp on my heart a little more, Remus. "It's just after six."
"Six! Why are you awake? Why am I awake? We dont have to be up for another hour!" They looked at each other, smirking, then James spoke.
"Well, you were bring rather loud."
"Loud?"
"Yes, loud." Peter again collapsed in laughter.
"You were sort of moaning in your sleep." James said, trying, but failing, not to laugh.
"I do not mo-"
"You really do!" Remus also failed to stop himself from laughing.
"You were sort of mumbling as well." James said thoughtfully. "But we couldn't hear you properly."
That's a relief. I knew what would have been coming out of my mouth from that dream.
"You woke us up. We wondered wether we should wake you or not, you looked like you were having fun." James raised an eyebrow.
"Shut up!" I said to James, determined not to look at Moony.
"Enjoying yourself, were you?" Peter had pulled himself off the floor.
"Was it that Cindy girl, in Hufflepuff?" I choked slightly as Remus said that, if only he knew it had been him.
"Excuse me?" He then answered with-
"Am I really that good, Padfoot?"
"WHAT!" I yelled, horrified. How could he know? I must have said something.
"Am I that good at guessing?" He said. Oh.
"If you don't mind, I'm in desperate need for a shower." The bathroom door wasn't thick enough to stop the sound of them all laughing at me.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
That morning I endured much taunting from my fellow Marauders. I had completely forgotten about the plan with Moony and Cartwater, that is, until I saw her approaching in the Great Hall at breakfast.
I felt James kick Remus under the table next to me. He tilted his head towards the Ravenclaw table. I felt my stomach drop, and I felt Remus tense.
She was approaching fast, walking alone, which was unusual for girls, they usually walked in giggling packs. Remus was staring at the floor. I could tell he was determined not to look up.
She was nearly right behind us when James kicked Remus. Hard.
He fell back, bumped into me and caused me to fall off the bench. I landed right in front of her. She was staring at me. Oh how I wanted to tear her apart. Slowly.
I could feel Remus's eyes staring at me. I knew he was panicking, maybe he wouldn't do it after all. A hand came down to pull me up. Moony's hand. I felt his face in front of mine. I saw him look behind me at Cartwater. I could see the panic in his eyes.
He's not going to do it.
He again fixed his eyes on me, he was still holding my hand, I felt my heartbeat quicken.
"Moony, what the-"
Before I could finish my sentence, and before I knew what was happening, I felt Remus's lips pressed firmly against mine.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
AN: Oh my, Remus is kissing Sirius! Yay, another chapter! Well review, review, review! On with the show!
Princess: Still claim you aren't in love with him, Sirius?
Sirius: Stares at floor Im not.
Remus: What was that kiss about?
Princess: It was meant to happen, don't worry. And Remus, I think Sirius is in love with you.
Sirius: I'm NOT, silly woman!
Remus: You know what? I'm actually starting to believe Princess.
Princess: Darn straight.
Sirius: I'm NOT!
Remus: I don't care if you are, you know.
Princess: Wait a second, Remus, are you in love with him!
Remus: No, -blushes- I'm just saying that I wouldn't hold it against him if he liked me.
Sirius: You wouldn't?
Princess: So you DO!
Sirius: Shut up!
Remus: Princess, are you going to continue to be mean to him?
Princess: -Grins evilly- Maybe…
Sirius: No! Thats not good. Hey, i have just had a thought!
Princess: Had to happen sometime, Sirius.
Sirius: I dont get it.
Remus: She's insulting you.
Sirius: How? I dont get it!
Princess: Just say the thought you had!
Sirius: Remus! She's being mean! Defend my honour!
Remus: Sirius just say what your 'thought' was.
Sirius: Oh yes. Right. Well I have realised that this story is a lie.
Princess: Huh?
Sirius: Well, if I was in love with Moony, which I'm not, but if I was, I, being the man who practically invented seduction-
Princess: Ha!
Sirius: -glares- As I was saying! Well if I wanted Moony, I would be able to get Moony!
Remus: Sirius! Dont talk about me like that!
Sirius: I'm sorry! But I have a point, I swear!
Princess: Then make it!
Sirius: Ok, my point is that this story is lying, and I could write it much, MUCH better than you can.
Princess: Oh really? Would you like to prove that?
Sirius: And how exactly would I do that?
Princess: -grins evilly-
Remus: Sirius, I wouldnt if I were you.
Princess: Alright Sirius, tell you what, I'll give you my version of chapter five, and you can write it to how you see fit. AND, I'll post it, not as the actual chapter, obviously, but I'll post it, so everyone can read it, and you can write whatever you want.
Sirius: Really?
Remus: Sirius, don't.
Sirius: You're on.
