Hey people, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in the longest time. I am so busy since the holidays are coming, my English teacher thinks it is funny that I (amongst the rest of my class) am burned out! Plus that and the fact that I can only update about one story per week. I know it sucks, but it is better than nothing I guess. Anyway I had a lot of fun writing this chapter and I hope you like it! Please review!

Chapter Three

XXX

/Recap/

Then Lily realized what James was getting at... "Oh no."

"Oh no is right." James said.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Ugh, this is not a good day."

/End Recap/

"Would somebody mind telling me what is going on here please!" Sirius said with a tiny hint of annoyance in his voice.

"In a second Black!" Lily snapped.

"And what is this Black crap, I am your boyfriend for fucks sake!"

"You are not my boyfriend, you have never been my boyfriend, and you will never be my boyfriend, so get the image out of your head before it goes too far!"

"TOO FAR? What the hell are you talking about? We have been together for three years! I think it's gone a little bit past too far. Besides what's going on? You know all this, and what's this about you patrolling last night? You know too well that Wednesday is when we-"

"STOP RIGHT THERE BLACK! I don't want to know what we do every Wednesday!"

"But you already know! That's the point! You are going crazy! You never patrol on Wednesdays, and Pott-James here knows that!" Sirius bellowed, as he looked to James for some support on this.

James looked at him apologetically and said, "I'm sorry Pads but Lily was patrolling with me last night. And about this Wednesday thing. First off yesterday was Thursday, and second off, I know nothing about what you two do, Wednesday or otherwise, and quite frankly let's keep it that way!"

Lily could sense the jealousy in his voice, and for once she actually believed the fact that he might actually like her, and it wasn't all just a joke. She was about to say something, whether it be a word of thanks to James or of confirmation to Sirius, whatever it was, she was cut off before she had the chance to say it.

"Alright, enough. This is all crazy, and I want to figure this out, but first I have to know what the hell all this Padfoot and Pads business is about. We aren't friends. Why are you giving me a nickname? Wait, are you gay? (a/n: I don't hate gays, some of my best friends are gay, so don't worry!) Is that why I have a pet name? Great, this is just bloody great! My girlfriend hates me and now the Head Boy has a man-crush on me!"

Lily and James both stifled a laugh. James laughing because his best friend (or who he thought his best friend was, Sirius seemed to think otherwise) thought he was in love with him, which was absolutely absurd, and Lily laughing because she had though the exact same thing about James earlier that morning. Plus that and the fact of James and Sirius, the almighty macho marauders, being gay together was just about one of the funniest things somebody could think about.

"What? Why are you laughing? It's true, isn't it? You are in love with me, aren't you?" Sirius looked seriously scared now, and he began to back away.

Lily and James were now in hysterics. Then James put on his serious face. "you figured it out. Now come here so I can show you how I fell." He reached out and grabbed Sirius' arm, causing Lily to laugh even harder and Sirius to whimper. James pulled him closer and Sirius looked like he was about to cry. James look over at the giggling Lily and winked at her, before he turned back to look at his fellow marauder. He closed his eyes and cocked his head to the side, Sirius still whimpering. He moved in closer and just when Sirius thought the worst could happen, James slapped him over the backside of the head. During this process, Lily had fallen completely silent, however now she just cracked up with fits of laughter, along with James.

"What the hell?" Sirius now looked genuinely confused.

"Oh come here you big homophobe!" Lily said as she pulled him over to sit on the couch.

When they hit the cushions, he put his arm around her. James felt another swing coming, but was able to hold back when he saw Lily scoff and personally remove his arm herself.

"Do that again Black and my little promise to you earlier will come true." Lily said as she stood up and motioned for James to sit where she had been sitting.

Sirius quickly stood up, and shrieked, "I'm not sitting next to him. He'll, he'll-"

"Kiss you?" James laughed.

Lily laughed at this and said "For God's sake Black, Potter is not gay! Saying James is gay is like saying I'm your girlfriend."

"But you are my girlfriend!" Sirius insisted.

"NO SHE'S NOT!" James yelled catching both Lily and Sirius' attention.

Then Sirius turned to James, "what the hell do you care Potter? You and your bookworm ways have hated Lily and me since our first day at school."

"That's rubbish and Lily knows it!"

"Both Sirius and James looked to Lily, both with pleading faces. Lily looked to the floor.

'Why is this happening? Didn't we just tell Black we knew what was going on. And what the fuck Potter? He knows what's going on, why is he acting as though it is all knew to him?' Lily thought.

'Well you never did tell Black what was going on, maybe you should fill him in. As for Potter, well you know boys, one goes off the rails, they all go off the rails. But other than that, why don't you just tell Black what is going on, let the boy in on the 'supposed' secret, before he goes absolutely mental.' Her conscience stated.

Lily had no idea why she kept calling James, 'Potter,' even after she had yelled at Sirius before for calling him Potter, but right now in the middle of this conversation calling him by his first name would just be awkward, well at least to her.

Lily laughed mentally, and said to her conscience, 'Well if he's the Sirius Black that I know, which I note he's probably not, but is he is, then absolutely mental isn't far off, in fact I think it hit him a while ago.'

"Lily?"

"Lily?" They asked again, this time snapping her back into reality.

"What? Oh, sorry. Yeah see, I don't know why you're yelling, Potter. You know what's going on, so why are you wreaking havoc on Black And Black, we have just informed you that we know what is going on so why are you fighting? I mean I know you don't know all the details yet, but please can you two stop acting like you have female hormones, because if you don't, I'm going to let some of mine loose!" She screamed and plonked herself down in an armchair.

James and Sirius, who were still standing, just looked at her, mouths gaping and eyes wide open.

Then Sirius broke the silence, "It's a bit late for that isn't it? I mean they've already been let loose and completed the wild goose chase."

James and him the flopped onto the couch as though they had never been fighting.

James then saying, "too right mate. Next time Lil's, please warn us before you 'let some loose.'"

Lily just looked at them. Now it was her turn to sit there with her mouth gaping and eyes wide open. What the hell just happened. The boys looked at her in fear of what she would do next.

"Lily?" James slowly asked. "Lily, no offense, but once was enough, I don't think we could handle another does of your female hormones, so if you can... please keep them in the cage. We were only joking."

"That's just it, you were joking." She looked at James, who finally caught on.

"Oh. Wow, that is odd." He said with a small laugh.

"Yeah, boys have to be one of the strangest species on the face of the earth."

"HEY!" Both boys said in unison.

"HA!" Lily burst out, "Why it's as if nothing ever happened last night."

"What do you mean, nothing ever happened last night?" Sirius asked jumping up in confusion. "WHAT HAPPENED?"

"Alright Black, sit down." Lily motioned for him to sit back down. "Don't get your knickers in a twist."

"Well my knickers wouldn't be in a twist if someone would fill me in on what the hell is going on!" When he said this Lily looked at James, who had a rather large smirk on his face.

"Gee, I wasn't aware you had knickers to get into a twist mate."

Sirius, realizing what he had just subjected himself to said, "HEY! I don't appreciate you two taking advantage of my stupidity!" Once again not realizing what he had just said, Sirius was a victim to their hysteric laughter.

Finally stopping her laughter, and after a countless amount of Sirius' whines, Lily said, "If you are quite finished whining about your stupidity, sit down and listen so we can tell you what is going on."

"What?" Both boys yelled together.

"You mean you're going to tell me?" Sirius asked excitedly, as though her were five years old.

"Hell fucking no we're not telling you what's going on!" James yelled.

"WHAT?" This time it was Lily and Sirius who yelled.

"Lily we can't tell him, at least not yet. Not until we've talked to Dumbledore about this, and find out what is really going on."

"But we do know what's going on. Why else would I be in a clean Head's common room sitting across from a bloke who claims I'm his girlfriend and who hates you. Trust me Potter when I say, I know what is going on, and I know you do too. Besides we have already told him so much, well more like he's asked us so much, but still, it wouldn't be fair to him if we didn't tell him."

"YEAH!" Sirius chimed in. "I can't just be told half a story, I'll go insane. Trying to figure it out all day, believe me you don't want to see it, it's almost womanly."

James and Lily both laughed at this, and he said, "Sirius you are insane and believe us, we have seen it, and it is womanly."

"Shut-up!" Sirius whined.

"Fine then, I guess we just won't tell you then." James said sitting back in his chair and folding his arms, Lily following suit.

"What? No! I promise, I'll be good, please tell me. I won't do it again, I swear! I swear on my mother, I love my mother, well actually I don't she can rot in hell for all I care, but that is beside the point. Please tell me, I'll be good, I won't say anything to anybody! I promise! Please, please, please! Pretty please with Sirius on top!" Sirius whined, leaving him breathless. Lily and James were now in absolute hysterics.

"Ok, ok, we'll - tell - you." James said in between laughs.

"YAY!" Sirius jumped up from his seat, and started dancing around the sofa. "They're going to tell me! They're going to tell me! They're going to tell me! WHOO!" He said in a sing-song voice.

"Sit your ass down Sirius, before we change our mind." James said. Obeying orders, Sirius saluted James and sat back down next to him.

"But Potter, why did you change your mind?" Lily asked.

"Well all I could think about was this one time, when Sirius here came down in his boxers. He forgot to put his pants on. Well Remus and I were laughing so hard, I mean come on picture Sirius in a robe with his shirt on but no trousers, hilarious right?" Lily raised her eyebrows and gave a incredulous laugh as she shook her head, "well anyway, Sirius here asked us what was so funny and well, we just didn't have the heart to tell him."

"Ha, I find that very hard to believe, but go on." Lily said.

James laughed and continued, "Well as you can probably guess, Sirius went ape-shit over not knowing, and as both of you said earlier, he was way too stupid to realize he had no trousers on. All day he went around getting stares from teachers, who didn't even want to approach him about it, snickers from Slytherins, those ass-wipes, and giggles from every single girl in the school, well except you actually, I think that was the day after Sirius pranked you with that hair regeneration hex and your hair wouldn't stop growing for days."

Sirius laughed, and Lily shot him a look, "it was only two days for your information."

"Anyways," James ignored her, "at the end of the day, he found out and he went ballistic, threatening to quit the Quidditch team and all that bad stuff. So now that I know what can happen as a result of keeping something from him, I don't think I can put my fellow marauder through it again. Hence why I changed my mind."

"Oh," was all that came out of Lily's mouth.

"Wait what?" That never happened. And wait a second did you just say your 'fellow marauder?' You're no marauder, at least not in my book. There are only four marauders and you are certainly not one of them!" Now it was Sirius' turn to sit back and cross his arms, he was clearly having a hissy fit. If anything had changed, this certainly had not, for in both realms Sirius was widely know for getting what he wanted and if he didn't get it, he would be in a huff until he did.

"Alright, I think that is our cue to fill him in."

"I agree." James laughed, (at Sirius).

"Ok, now Black, shut up. No interruptions, or we stop talking." Lily started. Sirius made himself comfortable, and 'zipped' his thumb and index finger over his mouth and then 'threw away the key,' indicating that his lips were sealed, although both Lily and James found that hard to believe. "Alright so last night I was patrolling by myself, when Malfoy ran into me. He was by himself and he saw it as his chance to take advantage of the mudblood who was all by herself."

"HE WHAT? I'LL KILL HIM!" Sirius jumped up in rage.

"SIT DOWN! You promised you wouldn't interrupt me. Now," she thought of where she was, as Sirius sat back down. "Oh, ok. So I was kind of attacked by Malfoy. Anyway I don't really want to talk about what happened with him, quite frankly I want to forget all about it. But, just as I thought nothing could save me from his wrath, Potter here shows up to save the day." That last bit she said with an enthusiastic sarcasm in her tone.

Sirius jumped up in laughter, "HA! Who'd have thought, Potter here was capable of saving the day." James scowled.

"BLACK!" Lily yelled.

"Yeah, yeah I get it. Actually I get it a lot, from a lot of people, hmm." He suppressed a small chuckle.

"Well yes do that too, but I was going to say, we are trying to explain something to you, that Potter didn't even want to tell you in the first place, and now all you can do is criticize him! So yes, I guess in a sense... SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Sirius looked quite scared and after he was once again seated, he softly stated, "sorry," and then Lily was able to continue.

"Right so as I said before, Potter came just in time to see Malfoy doing... well you know." Lily paused and saw both James and Sirius looking livid. She noticed that Sirius was then about to speak. "BLACK I SWEAR OPEN YOUR MOUTH ONE MORE TIME, AND I WILL CUT YOUR TONGUE OUT MYSELF!" He quickly shut his mouth, not wanting to lose one of his most important tools (hint, hint). "Alright, so Potter came and took care of the situation for me. Then we decided it would be safer if we patrolled together, something we never had done before. So we patrol, nothing special, but then we get to the entrance hall. We stopped in the middle of the hall and we were talking, then the lights flickered and there was an odd breeze. We decided our patrol had gone on long enough, so we headed back here. WE went separately to our rooms after saying goodnight." She quickly looked at James and knew, he too, was thinking about that small token of thanks Lily had given him the night before... the kiss.

Sirius noticed her pause, but thankfully paid no heed to the looks the other two were giving each other, "and?"

"I'm going, I'm going. Well I don't know how Potter's night went, but mine was rather strange. I entered my room and started to get ready for bed. I think I was sitting on my bed, taking my shoes off and..." she stopped and scrunched her nose in thought.

"Well? And what? What happened next?" Sirius asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Lily said softly.

"What?" Sirius asked incredulously, "what do you mean you don't know?"

"I mean it how it sounds. I don't know what next. I think I might have passed out on my bed, because I woke up on top of a made bed in the same clothes that I wore yesterday. I was in a room I didn't recognize, in fact that I had never seen before. It had color on the walls, no books, and pictures of you all over the place. I though I was going senile, or that I was possible in Potter's room. Then when I made to get out of there I ran into Remus, and he said you," she pointed to Sirius, "wanted to talk to me. At first I was confused as to why you would want to meet with me, and then I realized that the Marauders were obviously up to something again and I would be yet another subject to their complete and idiotic immaturity. However I was soon enough proven wrong by your actions towards me." She didn't want to say too much on the subject of Sirius kissing her, because she noticed James' eyes becoming more alert, and his fists clenching. "Well then I ran back here really mad, and actually really confused. Then Potter here came in and I basically threatened that if any of you blasted marauders came near me ever again I would basically blast the life right out of him or you with my own wand. Then he started yelling at me saying I was the one who had kissed him last night, and that I should be man at you for kissing me, because you were my 'so-called' boyfriend."

"You kissed Potter last night? Sirius bellowed, as his head shot to look at James, who was looking up at the ceiling trying to act all ignorant to what was just asked. "Well that explains a lot, for instance why you beat me to a pulp this morning."

"Yeah, sorry about that." James said innocently.

"It's ok, I would have done the same... I think. So you knew James here like you?" Lily heard him say Potter's name for the first time since the conversation had started and she decided, idiotic, immature, bastards or not she liked them much better as friends than as enemies.

"Lily? Hello, earth to Lils? Sirius waved at her with big arms to catch her attention.

"What? Oh, sorry, what did you say?"

"I asked if you knew if James liked you?" Sirius restated, "I mean you must have, if you felt the need to kiss him."

"I felt the need to kiss him because I wanted to, not because I thought he wanted me to! And to answer your question, to be frank, I didn't really know what to think about the topic of him liking me. I mean yes I heard him declare his love to me everyday, and that I should not waste my time protecting certain Slytherins, but it got quite annoying, arrogant, and quite childish if you ask me. Not to mention, the way he treats girls as though they are a bag of crisps, good to the last drop until their done, then you throw them in the bin."

James chimed in, "excuse me, but I'm still in the room!"

Lily scoffed, "anyway, after that all gets put in, I was just leally confused. The only reason I kissed him last night was because I saw a completely different side to him that, yes, I admit I could see myself liking."

James smiled at this and Sirius just looked at Lily.

'If only she knew how she really acts... here.' Sirius thought.

"Anyway, back to the story. So we were both basically canceling out what the other was saying, and then I remembered waking up. I was in a room I had never seen before, you had then kissed me, and now Potter was saying that were an item. I ran to my room and saw a picture of you holding me, and then I broke down."

"Gee thanks." Sirius mumbled.

"No I broke down because I realized I was no longer in Kansas anymore." Both blokes looked at her with puzzling faces on, and she explained, "it's a muggle saying, for I was no longer at home."

"What?" Sirius asked.

"Sirius are you that thick? We switched realms. This is not our world." James chimed in.

"Whoa," was all Sirius said.

"Whoa is right, and now we are stuck here, or at least we think we are. We don't know it we can go back yet, because truthfully we don't really understand what is going on yet." Lily said. "We need to talk to Dumbledore first."

"I agree." James added.

"Well then, count me in." Sirius said.

"Good let's go now." Lily said, already heading towards the exit.

The three of them walked through the empty halls, (everyone was still finishing breakfast).

"So Black. Earlier you stated that Potter wasn't a marauder." Lily said.

"Psh, nope." Sirius scoffed.

"But you said there were still four marauders. If Potter isn't on then who is the fourth member of the group?" Sirius then looked a little anxious, how would she take this little bit of information. James also looked nervous as to who would be replacing him.

"You," was all Sirius said, and he quickly walked ahead leaving Lily and James to just stand there in shock.

Alright so I am so sorry it took me this long to update but I've been so busy with an English paper, which hasn't left me any time. I have literally been writing during my other classes, just to get this done. I hope it is up to code and that you liked it, please review. KISSES! Dominique
