New Desks

"Trixie, please I need a new desk" pleaded Sirius

Lily walked into Sirius' office and saw him begging Beatrice the Head of Ministry Supplies, for a new desk. She also saw James trying to stifle his laughter.

"I'm sorry, Mr Black but there is nothing wrong with your desk" said Beatrice

"Nothing wrong" stuttered Sirius, "he...They" he said when he spotted Lily

"Me, what did I do" said Lily putting on her I'm-so-innocent face

"you know what you did"

James was know openly laughing.

"Trix, I can't work on that desk. Do you know what they did with my tie?"

Lily couldn't help it she burst out laughing as well.

"It's not funny" yelped Sirius

"I'm sorry Mr Black, but there is nothing I can do" said Beatrice, "good day" then she left the room.

"Trixie, Babe come on" pleaded Sirius after her, "What's so bloody funny?"

"You. That was hilarious" laughed James

"It is not and I want your desk, mine is contaminated"

"Well then, you might not want mine. We've had a LOT of fun on that desk" said James

"What, are no desks safe? Where else have you done it?" said Sirius completely outraged.

"Well, there was..." started Lily

"La, la, la, la, not listening" said Sirius sticking his fingers in his ears like a toddler

"Well, thats mature" said James, "anyway, what are you doing here? I thought you were working"

"I am, but Ministry physicals are next week" said Lily

"awwwww I hate physicals" moaned Sirius taking his fingers out his ears.

"Sorry, but they have to be done" said Lily, "Sirius yours is at 10am, James yours at 10:30"

"Who;s doin them? Don't suppose Mari will be doin mine?" asked Sirius trying to sound casual

"Sorry, Siri you're with me, James you're with Remus" said Lily

"Great" muttered James

"Yesss, score.So it'll just be me and you naked in a little room" said Sirius suggestively, "any desks in there, since that appears to be your preferred postion"

"It will only be you taking off any clothes" said Lily

"You know you won't be able to resist my beautiful body"

"I'm sure I'll manage" said Lily leaving the room.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" shouted James as soon as he was sure that Lily was out of earshot.

"What?"

"You were hittin on my wife"

"Your ex wife mate, and I wasn't being serious"

"I don't care she's your best friends wife"

"Mate, you need to get used to calling her your ex wife, you guys are divorced"

"No, we're... wait she didn't tell you" said James, "we didn't sign the papers, we're still married"

"What? Seriously? Why didn't you sign the papers?"

"She said she wanted to be friends and that she was too young to be an ex wife"

"So why didn't you sign?"

"She wasn't ready and I didn't want to push her"

"No, you didn't because you love her, you don't want to divorce her, you want her back"

"What? Don't be ridiculous"

"James this is me. Admit it you want her back, you love Lily"

"Okay. Alright I love her. Is that so terrible?" said James, "anyway it doesn't matter, she's over it now"

"What makes you say that?"

"Come on, last night, she had 23 guys' numbers. She..."

"She didn't call any of them, she never does. She hasn't been on a date since you. I've seen her turn down at least 20 guys. She didn't sign, not because she doesn't want to be an ex wife, but because she doesn't want to be your ex wife"

"No, I don't think"

"Look I've practically been living with her for the past month and I haven't seen her half as happy as she was this morning. She loves you"

"What about Mario? If she loved me so much, she wouldn't have been sleeping with him?" asked James.

"Look, I don't have all the answers" said Sirius, "but she does love you, and you slept with Kim"

"Because I knew she was..." said James emotionally, "I love her I don't know what went wrong"

"I know" said Sirius, "maybe this is a conversation you should be having with her, not me"
