And we have our fourth chapter. Things are going to seriously (No pun, or maybe, yes?) change for our protagonists here. Thanks for everyone who read, reviewed, favourited and followed this story. Your support means a lot.

In response to Greyandmint's review, yes, you can say that Sirius was flirting with his best friend's girlfriend and that is not only wrong but also contradicts with Sirius' loyalty. But in my headcanon (for this story) Sirius is used to playfully flirting with Lily just to annoy her, with no purpose at all. And in licking the custard off Lily's nose, I believe he didn't even consciously see it as flirting, because with all her memories, Lily' wouldn't have been flustered (might have said something like Ew, gross). But anyway, that's just me making my excuses :)

Without further rambling, let's go on. This chapter is rather short, I hope you won't mind.

Enjoy!


Chapter 4 – I am All Yours

"Sirius! Sirius!" Lily almost bounced over to the couch, where the said wizard was dozing off.

"Huh, what?" Sirius jumped up, his hand reaching for his wand.

"I was trying out the spells from our textbooks, and I could do them all!" she burst out.

"Wow, really?" Sirius asked, his eyes wide, and his face split into a big grin when she nodded. "That's great, Lily! Now what about a duel, just to test you?"

Lily looked doubtful for a few seconds, but then, clenching her jaw in determination, she nodded.

"Don't worry, Flower. I will go easy on you," he said, poising himself at the other end of the room.

But as it turned out, there was no need for him to let her off easily. In fact, Lily duelled with the same dexterity and skill as before. It was unbelievable that she had no memory of going to a wizarding school and learning magic. Finally, after twenty minutes of heated battling, in which Lily almost defeated him twice, Sirius managed to make her wand fly out of her hands with a disarming spell.

"That was amazing!" Sirius panted as he gave back Lily her wand.

"You think so?" she asked doubtfully. "I lost."

Sirius smiled at her, and then pulled her into a big hug. "Lily Evans," he said into her hair, "you are the most amazing witch I have ever met."

He pulled back from her, looking straight into her eyes. "You nearly had me down, Lily. You were simply awesome!"

Lily smiled up at him. "Thanks, Sirius. It felt nice to know that I can handle a wand without help. "

They sat down on the couch.

"Want to catch a movie?" Sirius asked. He had never cared for them much himself, but watching a film with Lily might be enjoying.

"Sure, why not?" Lily grinned. "I used to watch them on the telly with my family on Sundays."

"Wait here, then," he said, and disappeared into the kitchen. He appeared moments later with two soda cans and a tub of popcorns.

"When did you get those?" Lily asked, amazed, as he dropped down beside her.

"This afternoon," he replied with a grin. "I had been thinking of watching a film with you; I had seen the muggles watch films with these stuffs, and I wanted to do this in true non-magic style so..."

"Great!" Lily smiled, switching on the television. "You are a genius, Sirius Black." Sirius smiled back, his cheeks flushing a light pink at the complement.

They watched 'The Sound of Music', which was being aired on the channel. None of them spoke a word, watching enraptured as the little children sang time and again, the only sound apart from the dialogues and music being the light crunch of popcorn and the slight slurping of soda being sucked through the straw. As the ending credits rolled up on the screen, Sirius noticed little tears collected under Lily's long lashes, and with a slight smile, wiped them gently with his fingers. She looked up at him and smiled.

"You must think I'm such a weepy girl," she said softly. "It's just that... This is such a beautiful film. I have watched it many times with Petunia, and every time I become just as emotional."

"I don't think you are weepy, Lily," Sirius replied in a voice just as low as her. Something was compelling him to maintain the hush that had fallen in the room. "I have never watched this movie before. But I agree with you. It's truly wonderful."

The two sat in companionable silence for a few a minutes.

"Sirius?" Lily finally whispered. Sirius turned his head to look at her, only to find her face centimetres away from him. He would have wondered when the space between them reduced by such a great extent, had it not been for the fact that his brain had suddenly gone completely blank. He could do nothing, except blink at her stupidly.

"Ye-es?" he whispered back, struggling to form a coherent thought. Her face was closer to her than ever; he could count each one from the light smattering of freckles on her nose.

She did not reply, just raised a hand to run her fingers gently through his hair. His eyes closed momentarily in pleasure, but then opened again, only to be lost in the brilliant green hue of her own. She was coming closer and closer, and Sirius Black, Marauder, womanizer and resident ladies' man of Hogwarts, was frozen under her hypnotic spell.

Her lips placed themselves on his, and they were as soft and delicate as silk. He wasn't conscious of his brain generating any instructions; it had completely stopped working the moment she began kissing him, and yet he was aware of his lips responding to hers enthusiastically, of one of his hands caressing her auburn locks and the other pulling her against him by the small of her back. And yet, there was something wrong. Not about the way she was kissing him, no, that was beyond perfect, but the fact that she was kissing him. Still, his brain, thoroughly intoxicated by the lovely perfume of her hair, could not grasp any reason, and he was only conscious of the sweet pleasure coursing through him with each movement of his lips against hers.

She grazed her tongue lightly on his bottom lip, requesting entry, and he opened his mouth, bringing forward his own tongue to meet hers. They entwined in a soft battle, the slight hesitation on both of their parts only adding to the sweetness of the embrace. Sirius sighed into her mouth. This kiss was more beautiful than any he had ever had in his life. No wonder James loves her, he thought dazedly.

James. That single word awakened his reason. He was James' best friend. Lily was James' girlfriend. And that was where it was wrong. It was just so wrong.

He pulled away from her as gently as he could. Lily pouted, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"I wasn't done yet," she complained.

"Lily," he began, glad that he could think clearly again, to some extent at least. "We need to stop. This...isn't right. You have a boyfriend, Lily. We can't do this."

She did not speak, but a slight frown marred her perfect face. Then she fixed him with a narrowed-eyed stare which made his Adam's apple bob in his throat. Her green eyes were acting like a magnet, and he could feel himself automatically moving towards them just like a piece of metal. She placed her hands on his shoulders, and pushed herself up so that she was, once more, impossibly close to him. Unable to judge her intentions, Sirius simply stared at her, dumbfounded.

"Lily, we shouldn't..." he whispered, but trailed off as he lost his train of thought under her gaze. His brain was ringing a dim alarm bell, but with every fraction of a second, his face was inching closer to her, unable to resist her attraction.

"Relax, Sirius," she whispered, looking at him from beneath her fluttering eyelids, and he found himself obeying immediately, automatically. "I really want this. Don't you?"

You don't even have an idea how much I do, his mind whispered.

She lowered her mouth to his cheek, and placed a soft kiss. But she did not stop there. Her ruby lips trailed down her cheeks over to his neck as she placed feather light kisses everywhere. Her expert fingers caressed his hair, his cheeks, and raked across his shirt, where, here and there, a bit of his bare skin was exposed. It was pure torture. His heartbeat sped up, testosterone pumping through his entire body. He wanted to beg her to stop or to kill him, or else, snog her senseless. Instead, he let out a groan when she nipped at his collarbone. His resolve was slipping, and in all probability, she knew it.

Finally, when she kissed his ear and whispered his name, he lost it. Grabbing hold of her chin, he crashed his lips on hers, pouring in all the passion he had been holding back. She responded with equal enthusiasm, if not more, and pushed him backwards so that she lay on top of him. Their lips met again and again, their teeth clashed and tongues fought for dominance, all gentleness thrown to the winds. Her hands travelled down to his shirt, her fingers deftly opening the buttons, and pulled at it to get it off him. He obliged, nothing but pure, undiluted desire running through his veins, and in turn, let his hands travel up and down her gentle curves. Her fingers raked across his chest muscles, slow and torturous, making him groan in pleasure. All the while, their lips never left each other.

Sirius could feel his chest heaving. He felt lightheaded, as if he had downed an entire bottle of firewhiskey. Lily's fingers traced his face as he placed kisses on her neck, and a soft moan escaped her when he sucked at a sensitive spot. That small sound of pleasure flicked on some sort of a switch inside him; in a deft movement he twisted their positions, so that she lay under him. His eyes were glazed over with desire, and he could see her emerald ones, cloudy and bright, staring up at him, a combination of a smile and a smirk playing on her lips. His hands reached out to unbutton her blouse, and his fingers traced her bare skin down her neck as her breathing quickened. She was all over him; hers was the only smell he was conscious of, and it drove him mad; her presence was the only thing that mattered in the world. As he met her lips again, and again, and again, he forgot where he was, he forgot who she was; hell, he didn't even know who he was, and he didn't care; all he knew was that he wanted her, this angel, and he did not want this to stop, ever.


Before you jump to conclusions, they are not going to make love. Intense kissing and stuff, as you see, but no further. Until next chapter, folks :) Please tell me what you think of the story.
