Chapter 4: Confrontations

Lily woke up feeling warm, very warm. She was aware that she was lying with some one; she could hear the heartbeat, pressed up against her cheek. An arm was draped loosely around her waist. What did I do last night? She thought, tilting her head back. Remus? What's he doing here? Then she remembered. But they hadn't… no, they hadn't, they must have moved that way when they were sleeping. Heck, she didn't care it felt nice, familiar. But she was getting ahead of herself.

Remus began to stir and she feigned sleep. What will he think? She wondered, feeling completely relaxed. She was falling hard for him and he didn't even flirt. It seemed meant to be, though Lily did not believe in fairy tales.

Remus opened his reluctantly. He had gotten the best sleep since he had been an innocent little child, before the bite, even though it had taken him a while to drift off. He suddenly became aware that something was pressed against his stomach. Looking down groggily he saw red hair fanned out across his stomach, Lily. He felt like he was melting, his crush was sleeping next to him, his arm around her waist. Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Okay, calm Remus, he thought. Don't panic, she's not awake yet, just slide your arm off her and it will all be fine. He did just that and set it beside her instead, but when he began to slide out from under her, she stopped him.

"Wait, stay there," she whispered softly. She was facing away from him, so he couldn't see her face, but he moved back into their original position, his heart thumping loudly. "You're comfy," she commented, giggling softly.

"Thank you?" he said nervously, more like a question. Was she flirting? Did she really only want to be friends?

Lily freaked out at that moment, but she just said what she wanted. Following her heart, you could say, the total cliché that it was. For once she didn't care about the consequences. She wanted to be with Remus, so she would try and get him. There was no reason not to flirt. So she rolled over to face him, her cheeks still pressed on his chest. He looked fairly comical, confused, nervous, and anxious all at once. He was adorable, his dark blond hair sticking up where it was normally neat, his eyes still glazed with sleep, simply adorable.

"Guess what," she said, her breath playing across his skin where his shirt had ridden up. Remus though he was dreaming, as pleasure sped through him.

"What?" he asked, his voice unexpectedly hoarse.

"You're really cute when you wake up," she whispered, blushing. She was never this direct when it came to guys, but she was comfortable with him. Granted, she was nervous, but it just didn't matter. Remus smiled shyly and blushed as well.

"So are you." Lily sat up and lent against the headboard, wondering what to do next, having never been in a situation such as that. (Let's just say Remus was a little more innocent then most people think.)

"I'll probably sneak into my dorm and get some of my stuff. I think I'll make this room my temporary sleeping quarters for now, it that's okay with you. Most of the girls in Gryffindor follow Potter's every move, and if he hates me, they hate me as well."

"Same here, James has probably burnt all of my stuff by now, but I'll see what I can snag." Lily tutted (A/N: sp?). Potter must die, she thought.

"I am sooo not looking forward to eating breakfast, Potter will probably kill you or something." Remus shrugged.

"We can always get food from the kitchens or something."

"We should have a picnic on the grounds or something in the snow." she exclaimed randomly. "You can get the food and I'll meet you back here." He raised an eyebrow. "Come on, it will be fun!" He looked skeptical, so she continued. "It will be away from everyone else!" Come on Remus, say yes! Go on, she won't bite you! You're the only one who bites! He thought, nervous as hell.

"Why not," he said. "I guess I'll be right back then." She squealed and jumped off the bed, while he flinched. Calm yourself Lily, jeez, chill, she thought. Waving her wand, she was changed into her clothes last night, including Remus' cloak.

"I should probably not wear this," she said, sliding it off. She laid it on the bed as he got up and magicked (A/N: sp?) on his clothes, then wrapped it on over them. "Well, see you," she said, then slipped out the door, still giggling. Once she was gone he jumped up onto the bed and proceeded to hop up and down on the mattress like a first year trying to get out his excitement.

"I'm living with Lily Evans! I'm living with Lily Evans!" he chanted. The pillows bounced off the bed, but he honestly didn't care. He was sleeping in the same bed as her. "Wooooooo!" he yelled, overjoyed. He was sure she had even flirted with him! So he was being black listed by his friends, but so was she!

Exhausted, he kicked out his legs so he landed on his back. He swung his legs over the side and stood up, then sauntered to the door. So this is what it's like to be Sirius and James, he thought, feeling very smug indeed. Swinging the door open, he smiled broadly. He, Remus Lupin, werewolf and resident bookworm, had apparently gotten the girl.

The hallway was empty, so Remus skipped along the corridor, but before he could turn the corner and make his way to his dorm, someone shoved him from behind, and fell to the floor, his nose smacking the floor.

"Hey!" someone yelled. Remus groaned and rolled over onto his back, rubbing his bleeding nose. "Jesus, you could have given his a concussion!"

"He slept with her! They spent the night together!" A second voice yelled back. There was a great deal of rustling under a cloak as Remus watched the empty hallway and realized what was happening.

"Take off the cloak, guys. And we didn't sleep together, we just shared a room because you would have suffocated me in my sleep." He healed his nose. James materialized as Sirius shoved him out from under the cloak, and then pulled it off of himself. Remus stood up quickly, and made sure his wand was in his pocket before James could get mean. James was pulled up by Sirius, and then glared at his friend.

"How can I be sure you're telling the truth? How can I tell you aren't putting the moves on my four-year-long crush?" Remus resisted the urge to yell, "I liked her first!"

"Because I know I can trust you with my big secret. You can trust me, this is all just one big misunderstanding." James looked guilty at the floor.

"I'm sorry moony, I got really crazy last night."

"Well I wasn't very good at expressing my point," Remus responded. Sirius smiled and thumped James on the back.

"See? I told you Moony wasn't hooking up with Evans!" he said, playfully punching him on the shoulder. James still looked confused, and took a step forward.

"Can I ask you one question, though?" he said, his brow knitted behind his glasses.

"Sure."

"Why were you so happy before? You were skipping for Pete's sake." Because Lily chose me, Remus thought.

"Just because it's the weekend," he remarked, lying through his teeth. James seemed doubtful.

"So you slept with Lupin," said a sarcastic voice. Lily whipped around to face her best friend, Amy. The blond stood with her arms folded, leaning most of her weight on her left leg. Her face was serious and concentrated.

"I didn't sleep with Remus, I borrowed his cloak," Lily replied, pulling some flannel pjs out of her trunk. Amy wandered over and sat on her bed, watching her friend pack the clothes into a book bag.

"Then where are you going?" Lily gulped. Amy snickered. "That's what I thought. Lils, you can tell me, I'm your best friend." Sighing, she looked around the room to make sure it was empty and all the windows and doors were shut.

"Okay, but you can't tell anyone," Amy nodded curiously. "Wespentthenighttogether." Her friend stared blankly at her as she tried to comprehend her words, before understanding spread across her strong features.

"No way! Did you… you know?"

"No!"

"But you, like, shared a bed?" Lily blushed. "Oh my god Lils!"

"Nothing happened!" Amy raised her eyebrows doubtfully. "Well, when we woke up, he had his arm around my waist and my head was on his chest." She giggled. "And when he woke up and started to pull away I told him not to." Amy giggled. "We stayed like that until I told him he was cute when he woke up, because he was sooooo adorable, you wouldn't believe."

"Well, what did he say?"

"He told me I was cute too," she said, sighing happily.

"Aww! Lily and Remus, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Amy yelled as Lily pushed her off the bed, both still giggling like loons.

"Shut up Amy! If Potter finds out that something is going on he'll throw Remus off the Astronomy Tower!" Giggle, giggle. "No one can find out. But nothing's going on yet. And stop giggling!"

"Don't you think Potter and co. will notice if you two keep disappearing ever night?" That hadn't yet occurred to Lily. "And why are you in such a hurry anyway?" Lily got up, and pulled up her friend.

"We're having a picnic on the grounds." Amy smirked. "What?"

"It just seems like a date to me. Aw, Lils is having her first date after she slept with the guy."

"I DID NOT!" she started, and then lowered her voice. "I did not sleep with Remus." Snickering, Amy shoved her in the shoulder.

"Uh, yeah you did, just not in the slang term, but you soooo want to, I can tell!" Poor Lily blushed even deeper.

"Okay, I do, but I'm not some slut, jeez Amy." She walked over to the door, her backpack slung over her shoulder. Amy waved, and then sat down on her own bed.

"What ever Lils. I'll see you later." Lily waved back and left the room to climb down the stairs. She didn't get far before bumping into the object of her affection, and he was not alone.

A/N: Wow, long chappie! REVIEW! Okay, here's a teaser (cause I know you're all begging for one.)

"Fine, Prongs, I'll tell you. I'll let you in on a well kept secret, okay?"

Then later: "She's not yours James… She never was."
