A/N: I'm trying here people. I know it's short. But, I get the chapters out eventually….

Chapter Five

Lily groaned as she woke up, coming to find that she'd fallen asleep on a copy of Defense For You: An Intricate Guide. She now had a very stiff neck and a blurred imprint of words on her cheek. Not to mention that sunlight was streaming through the window and the girl's dormitory appeared to be empty. Lily quickly checked her watch, and found that she was in fact 15 minutes late for her first lesson. Silently cursing herself and Ellie for not waking her, Lily rushed around throwing on fresh clothes and running a brush through her hair. She grabbed her bag and flew down the stairs, through the common room and out of the portrait hole. She began to run and quickly found herself in the dungeons, outside of Potions class. Without missing a beat, Lily opened the door and quickly walked to her seat, plopping down next to a very amused Ellie.

"Ah Miss Evans, you've arrived. Why are you tardy?" Slughorn asked as he looked away from the cauldron he had been peering into.

"Over slept. Sorry sir, it won't happen again." Lily wheezed, as she tried to catch her breath.

"It's alright dear. If you'll just turn to page 389, I'm sure your friend can help you catch up." Slughorn returned back to his cauldron.

"Good morning, sunshine!" Ellie whispered as she continued to cut up her roots.

"Why didn't you wake me?" Lily demanded as she got up from the table and headed for the supply cabinet. But as she was walking along, she couldn't help but feel the intense urge to look over at James Potter. She glanced over and noticed that Slunghorn was immersed in his potion, so Lily took a small detour and stopped right in front of the table James was working at. He looked up and immediately smiled.

"Hello, Lily." James grinned as he abandoned his work and focused on her.

"Hi, James." Lily had the sudden desire to jump across the table, land in James' lap, and then ravish him with her mouth.

Sirius noticed just how much sexual tension was radiating between the two. If he didn't say something to try and distract them, it wasn't going to end well. "Hey, lovebirds, could you quit with the spectacle? I'm trying to work here!"

"Sorry." Lily said quietly, her eyes never leaving James. "I really need to go and collect ingredients now." After another minute she left reluctantly, glancing at James every few minutes. If it wasn't for Ellie coming to Lily's rescue and helping her back to her seat, Lily probably would have jumped on James' back.

Sirius looked back over at Remus, who was sharing a table with Peter, and gave him a big thumbs up. Remus returned the gesture with a huge grin, before turning to Peter and continuing with there conversation.

After Potions, Sirius and Remus pulled James aside and demanded answers.

"James, what in the good name of Merlin is going on?" Sirius said quietly with a smirk.

"I don't know mate. But whatever it is, I like it. A lot." James' eyes went wide and he smiled broadly. "Ah, Lily Evans."

Remus narrowed his eyes slightly. "What exactly do you like?"

"I like the fact that Lily wants to shag me sensless."

"Whoa. Brakes." Sirius said as suddenly tripped.

"I don't know if I'll be able to help myself either. Its just…wow." James started moving off down the hallway. "I wonder where Lily went?"

Sirius and Remus shared an uneasy look before hurrying after James. Hogwarts didn't need to see a spectacle. But James didn't need to look far for Lily, because Ellie and Cait had her held down further down the corridor. James made a beeline right for Lily. Sirius and Remus arrived moments later and they both grabbed for one of James' arms.

"Hey! What are you doing?" James exclaimed as Sirius and Remus held him firmly.

"Making sure you two don't go at it like rabbits." Remus stated blandly.

"Isn't he funny, Lily?" James asked with a wink.

"Hilarious." breathed Lily.

Ellie gave Remus and Sirius a nasty glare. "Maybe you guys should go down to lunch now."

"Right. Let's go James." Remus and Sirius steered James away from Lily.

"Good day, my sweet!" James called as Lily giggled behind him.

Ellie didn't stop glaring until the boys were well out of sight. "Lily, you really need to tell us what's going on."

"You hate James Potter with a passion, Lils." Cait said as the girls started to take the longer and safer route to lunch.

"What are you guys talking about? I don't hate him." Lily started to hum some sort of happy song.

Ellie mimed vomiting behind Lily's back. Cait laughed.

"Something's not right." Cait frowned. "I don't know what it is, but when I find out, I'm going to kill whoever did it."

It wasn't until dinner that evening, that things really took a turn.

"What the hell?" Ellie muttered as she stood to get a better look. "There just…I mean…oh sweet mother of God…"

Sirius gulped. "Er…Remus? Are they supposed to be acting like that?"

Remus remained quite. Lily and James were holding hands and whispering.

"I think we should go to the library and have a look at the potion again." Sirius stood.

Remus nodded his head and rose from the table.

"I think I'll go and get Lily." Ellie said with wide eyes as she watched the events unfold. "We don't need to see them shag."

Remus and Sirius just nodded and they both hurried off to the library. Once they were there, they quickly browsed the shelves until they found the book. Sirius ripped it off the shelf and quickly began searching through it, until he came across the spotted and stained page.

Sirius mumbled quietly to himself before going quite.

Remus spoke for the first time. "What? Sirius, what is it?"

"We forgot a step."

"What do you mean?"

"We messed up."

"I've got that bit. But how did we mess up?"

Sirius kept mumbling to himself as he carried the book over to the nearest table and sat down heavily. He scanned the pages slowly, before looking up at Remus with a look of horror.

"Sirius, what is it?"

A/N: AHAHAHA! A nice little review would make me happy!
