"Two months." Sirius said
Riley and Sirius were sitting at a nice restaurant in Hogsmeade. Sirius had decided to take her out for their two month anniversary.
"You say it like its been a struggle." Riley joked.
"Of course…"Sirius paused and Riley gave him a suspicious look, "it hasn't" Sirius finished as the waiter brought their food..
Riley and Sirius were on their way back to the castle, walking hand in hand. They were half way there when Sirius pulled her to him. He kissed her, pleading for entrance to her mouth. Their kiss was sensual and passionate. Their bodies were pressed close together; Sirius moved from her mouth to her jaw bone then to her neck, she moaned her approval. Sirius's hands worked on the zipper on the back of her dress when he finally got the zipper moving, Riley broke apart.
"Hey." Riley said removing Sirius's hands from her zipper, "We can't do this."
"No one will see." Sirius said lustfully and attacking her mouth.
"Stop…stop…stop it." Riley said more forcefully with each word, finally pushing him off of her.
Sirius regained himself, "I'm sorry. Its just, we used to do it like every night and its been two months. I'm dying."
"I know but its only been two months. If we're going to do this right, you'll have to start from the beginning." Sirius didn't want to agree with her but he had to.

Sirius and Riley were sitting in the common room, not really doing anything. They weren't saying anything, just sitting looking around. This was something they did often; life turned a little dull. They were use to each other's company; they lost their excitement partly because of school, with the months flying by the professors assigned more homework to prepare for the N.E.W.T.S. James came back early from his rounds with Lily, "What have you two been up to?" James asked.
"We're just hanging out." Sirius said.
"No." Riley yelled coming out of her daze, "Nothing. Nothing today. Nothing yesterday. Nothing everyday." Riley stormed up to her room. Sirius and James just stared at the stairs Riley just stormed up, shocked.
"What bloody hell was that all about." James asked.
"No idea." Sirius said becoming comfortable once again in his chair.
"Aren't you gonna go up there?"
"Do you see stupid?" Sirius pointed to his forehead. James gave him a stern look, "Okay, Okay."
Riley had gotten into the shower by the time Sirius got upstairs. Sirius knew something was bothering her, she always rushed into the shower when she was upset"Riley." He said while he sat on the sink, "Are you okay?"
"Fine, hun. Thanks." Riley said washing her hair.
"Bullshit."
Riley sighed leaning against the shower wall, "We're boring." Riley waited and waited for Sirius to say something. She couldn't see sitting on the sink any longer. She took a step closer to the shower door when it clicked open. Sirius stood in front of her, stark naked.
"We can fix that." He said stepping in the shower with her. Riley was a little shocked but it didn't take her long to get over it. Sirius pinned her against the wall, a devilish smirk playing on his lips and a lustful spark in his eye. He didn't forcefully kiss but he his was sweet and meaningful. His hand went to the small of her back bringing her closer to him. Riley deepened the kiss her tongue taking control. She broke apart to begin sucking his neck. Her hands began to roamed his body, Sirius gasped when her hands made it all the way down to his hard member massaging it gently. Sirius took control again, removing her hands. He kissed her collar bone and down her chest. She moaned loudly while he sucked and massaged her breast. Riley couldn't wait any longer, she pressed herself close to his pelvis. Sirius lifted her up, sliding into gently then pushing in and out faster with every one of her screams of bliss.
Riley had on one of Sirius's sweat shirts and was sitting on his bed with him. Her legs rubbed against his while Sirius played with her cheek and rubbed her cheeks.
"Ri, I've always wondered something since I first met you." Sirius said slightly warily, "What was James talking about when he said something about you being bailed out?" Riley stopped rubbing legs with him, she slide down a little and rested her head on his chest.
"When I left I guess I went through that whole cliché rebellious period. I got caught up in…uh…some drugs. It almost killed me, literally." Sirius wrapped his arms around her tighter, "Don't worry. Its been three years. I'll never do it again. I promise."
"Good, cuz I couldn't live with out you. I love you" he whispered. Riley stopped breathing for a moment. She didn't think it could be possible for someone to love her enough that he gave her the self confidence she lacked her entire life or for her to love someone that she couldn't live with out if he was ever gone.
"I love you, too."

N.E.W.T.S was finally over and the seventh years had only one full day left. After their last test James took Riley tot the kitchen. He ordered them some raspberry sherbet before sitting her down to talk.
"What's on your mind bro?" Riley asked before eating a spoonful of ice cream.
"I love Lily." He said.
"Uh huh."
"Did I tell you we already made plans to move in together." James continued; Riley nodded. James dug through his pocket and placed its contents on the table. Riley's eyes nearly popped out of her head. Riley snatched the ring off the table.
"That has got to be the biggest fucking diamond I've ever seen." James chuckled, "No seriously, it'll probably break her finer." James examined the ring fondly, "You ready for this?"
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life. But I need you help. I want to do it tomorrow. Can you have Sirius, Remus and Lily in the common room tomorrow night?
"Sure will."
The next evening Riley was rushing around the boys' dorm pulling out clothes for both Remus and Sirius.
"Take a shower, wear what I have laid out and be in the common room in an hour." Riley told them
"Why?" Sirius asked a little overwhelmed.
Riley smiled sweetly, "Sirius honey if this relationship is going to work, you have to understand not to question me." She slammed the boys dorm door.
Riley helped Lily look her best curling her hair and loaning her on of her dresses. Afraid of the consequences, the boys wee in the common room twenty minutes early. Riley and Lily joined them not too much later. They all sat around the fire where James had butterbeers and junk food waiting for them. After a few minutes of reminiscing James stood up.
"I asked Riley to get you all here for me." James started, "Seven years here and this is our last night. I wanted to end my life here doing the one thing I've always wanted and feeling the way I felt this last year." James got down on one knee in front of Lily. Riley squeezed Sirius's hand, "Lily, I love you. I'd give anything for you including my life. But I want to give myself to you. Lily Evans, will you marry me?" Everyone held their breath as James opened the box. Lily was shaking and her breathing was unstable but it didn't take her long to answer.
"James." She murmured, "of course. Yes!" James slipped the ring on her finger then stood up and kissed her.
