Sorry I left this story for such a long time. I'm not really sure whether I like this chapter and I've debated awhile or whether or not I should put it up and whether it fits with the rest of the story. But anyway, tell me what you think like/not like? Constructive critisism is always welcome!

DISCLAIMER: I own none of the recognizable characters.

The Moonlight streamed through the window of Lily's room as she lay back on her bed. It was way too hot tonight to be bothered getting under the covers and at the present moment it seemed like way too much effort to go get her wand and perform a cooling charm.

The quilt on her bed was cool and she lay back thinking …..thinking about James to be exact…since when had they even become friends? It all seemed like it was happening so quickly…..sure he'd matured a bit but he was still an idiot….but then again who of the guys she was friends with weren't idiots some of the time.

Yet here she was staying at his house….laughing at his jokes ….. it was strange really. They still had at the least three quarters of the year left and here she was suddenly friends with James….it was strange that's all. ….

Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted as for the second time in two days she spotted Daisy's little tawny owl at the window. Pulling herself up from the rather comfortable position she'd fashioned herself on the bed she called the bird inside and pulled open the letter.

Hey,

It's too hot to actually walk down the hall…..but Hannah and I are in my bedroom ….and we want to chat…

Lily laughed a little ….trust Daisy to send an owl for that type of message. But she just shrugged her shoulders and shoving on a little pair of shorts walked out of the room gently shutting the door….last thing she needed was Mrs Potter catching her wandering around the house…. only to walk straight into James himself….

A very tall, and flustered AND HALF NAKED James! Lily's breath caught in her throat and she found herself pressed up against his stomach and lifting her eyes couldn't help it as a slight colour rose up into her cheeks. Startled still …..her embarrassment at having first of all been caught out in such small pyjama shorts and second having walked straight into a extremely hot looking James was only heightened by the ring of Sirius's voice…

"Little Miss Evans!" he said lightly shoving his hands in his pockets and beginning to rock back and forth on his heels….Lily hadn't even realised that he'd been standing next to James in the first place.

Taking a step back so that she was no longer wedged close into James and standing in a not only awkward but very compromising position…. Lily looked up at James ignoring Sirius's little comment… "Sorry….I didn't even see you!" she said somewhat regretting having looked up into those hazel eyes again as she felt her body shiver under his gaze…..god she hated it how he could do that to her!

James just shrugged his shoulders lightly …it was at this point that Lily took a short moment to actually grasp what James looked like. Wearing nothing but loose pyjama pants and his hair overly matted and messy due to the fact that he probably hadn't even washed it since swimming in the pool yet…… Lily did have to admit that he was looking hot….very hot….

"What are you doing out here anyway?" he said running his hands through his hair and gazing around the hallway suspiciously before a grin appeared on his face and raising his eyebrows said "Waiting for me praps?"

"Ahhh there would be so many comments to add in here but it's really just too easy" said Black cutting in and then sort of shoving his fist in his mouth and shaking his head like he was in some way trying to restrain himself from something….

"Don't play with fire James" continued Lily waving her hand at him and once again ignoring Black who after adding in a quick ""oh my god….the jokes are just too easy" had now started banging his head against the wall muttering about self restraint…..

Lily was sure he was about to retort something back when Sirius accidentally banged his head on the wall quite hard and stumbling back a couple of steps did a sort of a mini circle and continued to stumble down the hallway….

"I must admit James….you really have befriended some strange people in your time…." She said mockingly shaking her head… "Well that is of course whether you can actually consider Black a person" she continued laughing.

"Oh don't even try to pretend your not jealous!" he said the both of them turning their heads to watch Sirius to continued to crash into the portraits as he made his way down the rest of the hallway.

Lily took this moment to turn on her heel and make her way to Daisy's room…..not before turning around and yelling "Don't think I don't know that you're up to something James Potter!" but he just winked at her and went running after Sirius before he woke up the entire house…..and ruined their scheming.

Lily pushed open Daisy's door to find the two of them sitting cross legged on Daisy's bed fanning themselves despite it being quite late in the evening the weather still hadn't decided to give them a break yet and beads of perspiration where breaking out all over Lily's body.

"Take your time why don't you!" said Daisy grumpily while moving over to make room for Lily on the bed…

"Sorry…James and Sirius were holding me up in the hallway" she replied laying back on the pillows

"Holding you up….is that how you put it?" laughed Hannah her curls moving up and down as she did so.

"Oh Shut up… I unlike some people I know don't actually spend all my time snogging" retorted Lily raising her eyebrows a little in the direction of Hannah.

"I can't help it if Zach's a good kisser can I?" she continued innocently…

"Hey" said Daisy cutting off Lily and Hannah's little conversation "Where about did Chelsea get to?"

Lily cast her eyes around the room …. Daisy was right where had Chelsea gotten to? She'd arrived later that day and Lily had seen her playing Quidditch but apart from that she really hadn't talked to her yet…..of course she'd been rather tied up by Remus most of the evening ; )…..

Chelsea and Remus were making their way down the hallway when the unmistakable voices of James and Sirius came echoing down shouting and yelling accompanied with the occassional thumping... Remus knew straight away what they had or were going to get up too and realising that were they to stay in the current postion they were either going to pulled into the scheme or actually be the ones for the plan to be executed on started formulating a plan of escape.

Straining his ears for a little longer he gathered that Sirius had take to bashing his head against the walls again and adding this to the now quite extensive list of reasons he didn't want to be seen grabbed the very surprised Chelsea's hand and pulling her along ran in the opposite direction until they reached the portratit of the werewolf down towards the end of the hallway and whispering in its ear (an old trick Harold Potter had taught him once) convinced the portrait to peel back revealing a little secret passageway.

In which he pulled a now very pink cheeked Chelsea. Of course the noises of James and Sirius making their way down the hall were now getting louder and it was only once he had slammed the portraite shut again that he realised just how small this passageway was...Not that he minded THAT much.

"What was all that about?" whispered Chelsea in Remus's ear leaning right into him, and pressing her body and arms...if possible even closer. Not that she really needed to in the first place as they were squished in so tight...But hey! He wasn't complaining.

"Trust me ... Sirius is in a hyporactive mood and no doubt him and Prongs are up to something...and you DEFINETLY don't want to be the victim of it!" he finished off smiling at her as they continued to stand in darkness. Her light brown curls were resting against his top and he could feel her entire body and every tiny movement she made.

"So let me get this straight" she said, "Your rescuing me from the big bad Sirius Wolf? and the love-sick James Potter?" she continued, her breath warm and soft dancing on Lupin's neck as she chuckled quietly as he just smiled, "In a passageway..."

And then it happened...He didn't know what made him do it...let along gave him the courage but before he knew it he had wrapped one arm around her waist, and the other on the wall and then in closing the gap pulled her towards him. Emotion and lust was seeping out as their lips touched and running his tongue along her bottom lip she opened up and began to kiss her deeper. Everyone of their senses alive in the darkness of the passage and soon nothing else mattered except the two of them together. Who knows how long had passed it could have been minutes or it could have been hours for all they cared. But as their heads pulled away they found only arms clutching tightly and their hair toussled and messy, their bodies still hot in the summer air and their clothes damp and sticking to one another, not that ethier of them had noticed in the heat of the moment. Their mouth aching slightly but the majority of it covered by a wanting of more, lust and desire.

Chelsea's arms were still wrapped around his neck and her body pressed tight against his never wanting to move and never wanting him to move his arm from around her waist. Lifting her eyes she was met with the smoky grey of Remus's something dancing behind them, something she'd neve seen before. He just stared intently at her, not shuffling or not diverting his eyes away from hers for a second,before cracking into a grin.

"You wouldn't want to go out sometime would you?" he asked, not shyly either, not like the normal slightly timid Lupin and Chelsea let out an exhale enjoying the moment and those words at last.

She'd liked Remus for such a long time now...Well not as long as James and Lily but definetly for awhile and ever since Lily and James had become Head Boy and Girl and Daisy and Sirius were always at Quidditch Remus and her had started spending alot of extra time together. Times where everyone else seemed to be doing something and Hannah was out with Zach they'd taken to just catching up and talking. They'd go to the library and study together not to mention meals and classes, everyone had seemed to be so wrapped up with their own love lives that no one had even notice the two of them getting closer and closer... Of course she'd known about the werewolf thing for a little while and it really didn't bother her. But hearing him finally say it was amazing! So she just nodded and pulled him towards her again this time begging for entrance into HIS mouth.

"I swear to god Prongsie you should just grab her and start snogging her senseless...the sexual tension with you two is so obvious it's sickening" said Sirius having finally stopped banging his head against the hallway...

"Shut up Padfoot" said James absent mindedly running his had through his hair, "Besides last time I did that it didn't exactly work..."

"Ohhhh…. you mean the time she threw the pot at your head in Herbology"

"No not that time...although now I think back that did really hurt," said James, subconsciously rubbing the part of his head where the rather heavy pot had collided.

"Oh No I've got it…… you're talking about that time after the Quidditch match against Huffelpuff and she broke your Cleansweep III in half!" said Sirius almost clapping his hands in delight at the memory.

James winced at that memory...it wasn't even embarrassment...everyone was pretty much used to Lily throwing yelling and slapping James that they didn't pay much attention to it anymore...it was actually a form of entertainment……what had really annoyed him was the fact that she'd broken his broom...he'd been really pissed off at her... but that had only ended up lasting all of three hours...James had zoned out a bit in thinking about Lily and when he finally started listening to Sirius again he was still rattling off times in which Lily had rejected him...the list was after all was pretty extensive...

"Ohhh no no my favourite time was definitely when she turned around and snogged Amos Diggory in third year JUST to piss you off..." said Sirius still blabbering to himself...

James just shook is head in disgust at Amos ...mind you after that Amos hadn't been able to get the pus balls off his face for about three weeks... so his ego hadn't been bruised THAT badly.

"Nope stilll not the one... you weren't even there for this one." said James lightly laughing at the way Sirius's face twisted as he was trying to remember

"Ohhh you're talking about the one this year when she came into the common room all pissed off and Daisy and I ended up getting detention for that party!...McGonagall was sooo pissed off after that ...she made us clean the potions dungeons AFTER the first years had been in there!" said Sirius still in reminiscing mode but having increased his pace as he got more excited, "Hey!... you never did tell us completely what happened..."

"I don't know really..." said James trying to regain that feeling of elation when Lily had started kissing him back... "We were just patrolling and then we were caught against a wall...I dunno it was really strange...it was just when she started actually talking to me civilly...it was the only time she's ever kissed me back!" he said not being able to help a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"WHAT!" yelled Sirius "You're telling me that YOU ACTUALLY SNOGGED LILY EVANS and she DIDN'T pull away!"

James just nodded and put his hands in his pockets as they started to make their way down the stairs.

"Oh my god!" continued Sirius obviously in shock at this new revelation, "We all just thought that you had tried to snog her again and she'd slapped you and ran off like normal!... hahaha so I guess there REALLY was cause for a party after all!"

"Mmmm I don't think you can REALLY count it though because we didn't really talk about it afterwards, I think she realised after a bit that it was actually me and then she got really mad to cover it up and went off to you guys. Then the next day I saw Amos trying to make a move on her and I got really pissed off and was with Helen but it turned out that she wasn't actually dating him or anything so from then on it's been fine" finished James slightly breathless at telling the tale.

"So you think she may actually like you?"

James shrugged his shoulders and was about to reply when he saw the Werewolf portrait move back slightly and stopping all of a sudden gave Sirius a questioning look...

"Sirius…. have you been snogging any girls in the werewolf passage?" asked James staring at the painting a couple of metres away.

Sirius took a moment to try and remember "Nah, in the other ones but I'm pretty sure never in that one" he said shrugging his shoulders.

"And it's only us four that know about it isn't it?" said James a realization beginning to dawn on him...

"Yeah….. oh and your dad and that house elf Pinky...Wh..." but Sirius didn't need to finish as he suddenly realised what James had been thinking…. "I guess we better leave this till another time then..." said Sirius not wanting to interrupt Moony at such an important time...

"Yeah it doesn't matter anyway...we can do it when we get back to school...and Peter can act as a distraction for the Slytherins" said James turning around as the two of them started to make their way back to their rooms joking about what it would be like tomorrow with Moony and Chelsea.
