Wow, I haven't updated in forever. School has been SO crazy. I've even got the chapters written, but I haven't had time to post them. Well, there's that and there's that fact that I cant believe how incredibly fluffy this story is. Oh and I don't think I've mentioned this but this story is VERY un-beta'd, so all the wrong things are my own fault. I'll try and make it normal again, but until then may I present, Chapter four!
SRSRSRSRSR
Previously in The Plan: 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.
Later: 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.
Chapter 4: A different Plan
It was over before I even registered what happened. I soon felt his lips leaving mine.
I could feel my face burning. My heart felt like it was trying to burst out of my chest as I turned around and saw Cartwater staring. She certainly noticed him. She shook her head slightly and walked off, several backward glances in our direction.
"Padfoot, I'm so sorry!" I turned to face Remus, his mouth was still open in shock. It was hard to tell if his eyes or his mouth made him look more shocked. I knew that I must have looked very similar. James and Peter were both staring. "I panicked, I didn't know what to do!" He sounded as though he was pleading. Panic was clearly the only thing running through his mind at that moment. I hurriedly tried to find my voice.
"I-Its alright, Moony." I was still in shock. His lips had been against mine. Moony's lips. Well, one thing was for sure, my fantasies weren't going to run out anytime soon.
An uneasy silence had settled between Moony and I. It stayed for a couple of minutes, until I saw a wide grin appear on Prongs' face. There was the glint in his eyes that he only got when he planned a particularly nasty prank.
"Oh no, James what are you-"
"Gentlemen, I think I just came up with a new plan." I met Moony's gaze, we both knew this wasn't going to be good.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Padfoot, you don't have to do this.
I know, Moony, but you really like her don't you?
That's not the point. It'll be weird, I saw your face at breakfast.
Moony, you caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting you to kiss me, how was I supposed to look?
This note had been passing for most of our first class. Remus was trying to make sure I was okay with James's new plan.
My heart skipped a beat as I wrote 'kiss me.' I never thought that I would write anything with the words 'kiss me' in it to Remus. No, I hadn't been expecting it, but I enjoyed it. It was a kiss from Remus. I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't like James' new plan very much, I knew it would only hurt me in the long run.
He must have really liked her though, because this plan was very, very un-Remus. I sighed and continued to write.
Look, I don't care what you say I'm going to do it for you. I'm sure I'll deal with it.
If you want to stop once we've started, I'll understand. Just promise you wont get weird about it.
Would I agree to it if I was going to get weird about it?
I'll only do it if we'll still be friends after.
I promise Moony.
"Guys come on, its nearly the end of class." Peter said as I passed the note to Remus. Remus read it and smiled.
"Well, lovebirds, I really think it is time for lunch!" James said.
That was his plan. Not the lunch part, the other part. He said that he had seen the look on Linda's face when at breakfast when Remus kissed me (the thought of it still made all my blood start heading south,) and that the two of us should pretend to be a couple to make her incredibly jealous.
At first I thought it was brilliant - I got to make out with Remus- but as the thought of it sunk in I wasn't so sure.
What if I went to far? What if I gave away my oh so well hidden secret? The worst of all was that this plan might actually work. I saw the way Cartwater stared. I know how girls minds work, well sort of.
Oh how I wanted to hurt her. She was the one Remus dreamt about at night. She was the one in his thoughts all day. She was the one he woke up for in the morning. I wanted to make her jealous, so this plan was brilliant, but I wanted Remus to want me.
I wanted him to realise that he didn't like her at all, that she was just another girl. I wanted him to think of me all day.
What if I led Moony to her on a full moon? No! Sirius, don't think that! Moony would never forgive himself if he hurt someone. You'd never forgive yourself if you did that to him.
What was there that I could do? Why couldn't Rem-
"Sirius, hurry up, I'm getting hungry." Peter whined as I shoved my things into my bag.
I was trying to hurry, but I kept dropping things and fumbling over my quill as I thought of what me and Remus could do to make Cartwater jealous.
"Sirius, are you okay? You looked flushed suddenly."
"Im alright, Moony, just a bit hot." As we started to walk, Peter pulled me aside.
"Prongs, Moony, go, we'll catch up." The other two cast a suspicious glance at us, but Peter shook his head and waved his hand. They walked away, casting backward glances at us.
"What is it, Wormtail?" This was very un-like Peter. Very rarely did he ever want to speak to one of us in private.
"Do you really want to do this?"
"Do what?"
"You know what I mean, Padfoot."
"I know what I'm doing. I wouldn't do it if I didn't want to. It's only Moony."
"Yes, but that's what making it bad. Remus wants you to do it." I stared at him, and gave him a look that said I-think-you-need-your-head-checked, but I suddenly felt like I was filled with cement. How could he possibly know?
He raised his eye-brows at me.
"Oh, alright, keep lying to yourself. But I know you shouldn't do this." We walked in silence for a few minutes, but were soon chatting (chatting in a manly way) like the friends we were.
We got to the Great Hall, but soon realised that James and Remus weren't there.
"Where do you think they are?" Peter asked, looking around from the door.
"I don't know, maybe they went back to the Common Room for some reason?" I answered.
At that moment I felt someone knock into me from behind. I spun around and came face to face with Severus Snape. My first chance to tease him this term, excellent! He was with Lucius Malfoy, who was a Seventh Year, and could have easily put me in the Hospital Wing for months, but it didn't stop me.
"Ah, Snivelly. First time I've seen you since Christmas! What did you get? Hopefully you got some new underwear, for the sake of the rest of us, you really are starting to smell, you know they invented this thing called a shower, you should try it some-"
"Stuff it, Black." This had always been one of my favourite things to do. James and I could spend weeks planning a prank that would utterly humiliate him. It was fun.
"Oh, aren't you just full of comments toda-"
"Oh, Black, where's you're boyfriend?" I froze. What! "What? You think I didn't see you making out at breakfast? Go run along, now, go find dear Remus. I expect you and you're fairy of a boyfriend want to-" SMACK. I punched him. That shut him up.
"You talk about Remus like that EVER again, and you'd better hide." He was on the ground, clutching his face. There was blood dripping from in between his fingers as he stood.
"MR. BLACK!" I cringed. McGonagall was walking towards us. "Mr. Malfoy, kindly take Mr. Snape to the Hospital Wing. And you-" She pointed to me "-Detention tonight. My office, be there at eight, both of you, and ten points from Gryffindor." Peter made a noise of protest.
"Professor, Peter had nothing to do with it. I punched him." I didn't want my friend to be punished for what I did.
"Very well, Mr. Black, be there at eight. And try to stop yourself from punching Slytherin's in the future. And another 10 points from Gryffindor! " She turned on her heel and left. As I turned to Peter, who smiled at me and opened his mouth to speak, I saw Cartwater heading towards us. I gave her the biggest death-glare I could muster.
Once she had disappeared into the Great Hall, I saw Remus and James coming down the stairs, Remus looking annoyed.
"Where have you two been?" I asked as they caught up to us.
"We had to go back to Gryffindor Tower." Remus sounded as annoyed as he looked.
"Why? You could have stopped Padfoot from getting detention." Peter asked.
"You got detention? It's the first day back! James and me leave you for ten minutes and you get detention! What did you do?"
"He punched Snape." Peter answered.
"You punched Snape!" James asked, in his 'I'm impressed voice.'
"You punched Snape!" Remus asked, in his 'I'm a prefect voice.'
I nodded. Remus exhaled and shook his head, a slight grin playing at his lips. James gave me a high five.
"Why did you go back to the Tower?"
"James, had to fix his hair." Remus said, sounding annoyed again. It made me smile.
"Couldn't he have done that in the bathroom or something?" Peter asked. I snorted. James doesn't use 'dirty public mirrors' as he likes to call them.
"I would have thought that too." Said Remus, still sounding annoyed.
"Me? Use dirty public mirrors! How dare you even suggest such a thing!"
"Prongs, we have house elves that clean them, you know." Sighed Remus, running his hand through his hair, as we made our way to our regular spot at the Gryffindor Table.
"Why did you have to fix your hair anyway?" Peter squeaked at James, but was answered by Remus.
"He had to fix it before Lily saw him."
He looks so adorable when he's angry.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Princess: And we come to the end of another chapter!
Remus: I am NOT 'adorable!'
Princess: Yes you are!
Remus: Adorable! Sirius, punch her! You punched Snape, now punch her!
Sirius: I don't punch girls, Remus.
Remus: Speaking of girls, how come Peter and James are never around when we have to 'comment on this story?'
Princess: Well, I was planning to put them in after the second chapter, but when I wrote it I completely forgot, so they aren't here.
Sirius: So basically, you just want alone time with me, the legendary Sirius Black!
Princess: Yes Sirius, I just wanted alone time with you. rolls eyes

Sirius: Yes, but-
Princess: So Sirius, have you written your take on the story yet?
Sirius: Yes, yes I have.
Remus: Oh, Sirius, you're becoming an author! Im so proud of you!
Princess: Remus wasn't being sarcastic then, and now Sirius is blushing like a little girl.
Sirius: Excuse me!
Remus: If I have to be adorable you have to be a little girl.
Princess: Well, thanks for reading again everyone, I love you all! And now Sirius has something for you.
Sirius: I do?
Princess: Don't tell me you forgot them.
Sirius: … twiddles thumbs
Princess: Sirius! How can the readers have cookies if you forget them!
