A/N: If the first four chapters haven't proven it already, this one should be able to show that this is most definitely AU.

Chapter 5: Swapped

"Hey," I greeted Lily when I met her outside of the portrait that lead into the Gryffindor Common Room. She had told me to meet her here, though I wasn't sure why. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to make our last few rounds." I apologized, for the past two months a certain someone had been making me forget about time, and curfews, and rounds. Sirius had been saving my ass though, and going to do the rounds for me.

"Oh, that's fine," Lily said, surprised that I had finally made it. Sure I didn't miss all of them, but I had missed the last four. Two a week. "Does Sirius even know what to do if he's not doing rounds?" She asked, smiling to show that she really didn't care if I was taking my job back or if Sirius was. I watched her as we started walking down the hall. Her shoulders were sagging a bit, and she had a very small frown, one only I probably could catch. I kept listened to her as she talked about school, and noticed that there were a few times more then necessary that she talked about Sirius.

"Oh my God," I gasped. She turned to look at me in confusion, and I paused for a moment. Thinking about the last two weeks, hell the last two months when I was so wrapped up in my own life, in James that I hadn't realized we had left our best friends out in the cold. While we were too busy for them, they had found comfort, probably more like entertainment for both of them, in each other. I tried to think over my last few conversations with Sirius, and realized what I hadn't picked up on at first. Sirius talked about Lily about as much as Lily talked about Sirius, and neither of them said anything about immaturity, or the inability to have fun.

"You like Sirius?" I said my jaw dropping as I waited for her response. The blush was all I needed to know I was right. She just smiled a little, turned her head away from me, and continued walking. We got two steps down the corridor when we heard a smash of a suit of armor tumbling over. I had enough experience with tumbling suits of armor to know the distinct sound. We ran over to the scene of the accident, and searched for the cause. Lily's face rumpled in confusion when we didn't see anyone. I paused, listening for the slightest sound of breathing, for the lightest foot fall.

"Shit," I heard a whisper. "He's using wolf-sense, damn him." I knew that voice, but it was so quiet that Lily didn't hear it, and she kept looking around.

"Hey, don't damn him." I heard another voice argue in my behalf.

"Then, deny him sex," the first voice offered.

"Hell no," the second voice argued again. "He's too good, I won't punish myself." I laughed, and grasped for the material I knew had to be right...about...there. I pulled it down and found my lover and my best friend with hands full of dungbombs.

"I can punish you," I said with an evil smirk, and waggled my brow. James looked at me with an excited smile. "What are you two doing?"

"Nothing," James answered quickly. I shot him my best, "I know you better than that boy," look. "Well, we were doing something, but then we heard this great little statement echo down the corridor, and someone tripped over his feet. Didn't you Pads?" James grinned at Sirius cockily.

"No," Sirius scoffed. "Of course not, I have too much posse to trip over my own feet." Lily, who had come to stand beside me by now, and I chuckled at that. James nearly fell to the ground as he laughed. Sirius looked away from Lily, and I had to smile just because I had never seen him shy. James stopped when he realized the same thing I had. His arm slipped around my shoulders, and mine snaked around his waist as we watched our best friends. "Really?" Sirius asked when he finally found it in him to at least look at Lily.

"Yeah," she answered, just as quiet as his voice was. It was so cute, mainly because neither of these two had a shy bone in their bodies.

"So," Sirius said, obviously remembering that fact, looked up with his best grin. "Hogsmeade?" The next official trip was Saturday, but I would laugh if he actually was able to wait that long. He'd probably take great enjoyment in sneaking Lily out of the castle in a few days.

"Sure, that'll be fun." Lily answered. For a moment Sirius seemed as though he wasn't quite sure what to do. He tossed James and I look, James raised his eyebrows, and I just smiled. Remembering that no matter what happened, we still had his back, he walked to Lily and pressed a quick kiss to her lips. She gave him a bit of a pouty look, and he grinned before pulling her to him in a much more passionate embrace. I heard James growl in my ear, just before he turned to me and pulled me into one as well. We were there for a while, the two prefects with their trouble-makers, and then we heard a "meow."

"Did you just meow?" James pulled away confused. I was pretty sure after two months he had heard all the sounds I made, and meowing was not something I did.

"Did you just meow?" Sirius asked as he pulled away from Lily. His tone was more an impressed growl, one that I could read well enough to know he wanted to know how he made her do it so that he could do it again. Lily and I both shook our heads, and turned to see the gray cat staring at us.

"Shit," I whispered as I started backing away from the cat.

"Miss Norris," Lily gasped, she had never been in a situation to fear Filch or the evil cat. James grabbed my hand, and Sirius grabbed Lily's, and we took off down the corridor looking for a broom closet. As soon as he spotted one, James tugged me towards it, and Sirius, who was a few feet behind us with Lily trying to keep up, followed seconds later. Sirius and James pressed their backs against the opposite walls and pulled our backs against their chests. Lily held her hand against her mouth to keep from making any sounds. The boys and I had been in this situation so many times, we felt more relaxed in it then out of it.

"Do you think he's gone yet," I whispered, Filch didn't stick around that long when he didn't find anybody. James shook his head against my neck and pulled my hips against his. Yes, I saw why he didn't care if Filch was gone or not, but I had a problem of my own, and I was not letting him take care of it in front of Lily.

"Yeah," Sirius grunted as Lily moved away from him. Poor Sirius, he was going to have to actually figure out what a relationship was, because there was no way Lily was going to be like his normal bimbos. "He's probably gone, but we're going to have to be careful." He explained, more to Lily then James and I, we knew how this worked. Lily turned to look at him and nodded, and he slowly opened the door, peaking around it to make sure our suspicions were correct. As quietly as he could he slipped through the door, and motioned for Lily to follow. I was next, but a strong arm wrapped around my waist kept me from moving.

"James," I growled. He ducked his head so that he could hum against my pulse point, and I sighed knowing I wasn't getting out of that broom closet for a while.

"Are you two coming," Sirius asked as he poked his head back into the closet. Jame flicked his eyes to our best friend, as his hand stopped the downward movement it had been participating in.

"We will be, as soon as you leave," I snapped. Sure when James pulled me into places to do inappropriate things, I would argue and try to make him see reason. Then he would do something, like hum against my pulse point, and I was lost. Forgive me, I knew it was wrong, but when you start to get a hard-on and someone is begging to help you out with it, do you really tell them no? Well maybe if someone like Snape or Peter was begging to help me I'd say no, but when it is your lover, do you say no? I don't.

"Right, I have a fair lady to escort safely back to the Tower, and you two horn dogs can enjoy whatever you two enjoy doing to each other." Sirius said with a tip of an imaginary hat, and shut the door. Once the door was shut James' hand continued it's search for my belt buckle, and I ground against him. He growled against my neck when he found the buckle, and undid it as I continued the only movement I could really do from this angle.

"You know we have a bed," I pointed out as he started working on my button.

"Don't care, want you now," he growled as he turned me around and pressed me against the wall. Ah, this was better. At this angle he had better access to get my difficult button popped, and I could easily undo his buckle and pants as he did mine. Sure since he had already dealt with my buckle he was able to pull my pants down first, but I was following him seconds afterward. When the constricting material was out of the way, he drew me into a hungry kiss, as we wrapped our hands around each other. We had decided that wearing boxers or briefs was too much of a pain, and so both of us went commando. Yeah, say whatever you want to. Remus Lupin seems like a good boy, but really he just wants to make it easy for himself to fuck his boyfriend.

As our tongues and teeth clashed in a hungry kiss, our hands pumped the other causing even more and more groans and moans to escaped. We'd been doing this to each other long enough that we knew the right time to flick the pads of our thumbs against the tip to get the best moan. We knew just how many times to pump before twisting to get the other to buck harder into our hands. Yes, we were getting this down to a science, an art, and I think that added to the pleasure, because we did know how to do it best. We knew which speeds to use to make each other come faster or which one dragged it out. In the broom closet we had an unspoken agreement to do it quickly.

As soon as we were cleaned up, we raced back to our dormitory, and quickly hurried to get into our beds. He turned to me and pulled me back into a kiss as he ground our returned aches into each other. He knew that the first one always lead to a second one for me, that had the possibility of turning into a third. Oh, let me explain, I mean I can come, breathe for a second, and I'm ready for that next one. He has told me several times I'm going to be the death of him, because he actually needs a minute, or five, for the second one. If I want to keep going he could need up to half an hour, but that's okay. I know it reality he loves just seeing how many times he can get me off. He's turned it into a bit of a game, "How many times in a day can I make Remus come?" His record is currently set at ten, and that's just cause I got to tired to continue, and it was a Sunday. Ah, anyways, once we got back to our bed we had another romp in the sheets, and then went to sleep like we do every night.

"Good morning Angel," Sirius said when we found Lily in the Great Hall the next morning. James and I sat across from the new couple, and Peter sat next to James. I'd say us, but we all know the truth. Peter is James' lap dog, and honestly over the past few months I think he's become jealous of my new found relationship with our leader.

"Good morning Devil," Lily replied seconds before Sirius leaned in to give her a good morning kiss. It was sweet, but their names for each other had me raising my brow. "I'm the good girl." Lily started their explanation when she saw my expression.

"My precious angel," Sirius continued as he threw one arm around her, and the other reached for the bacon. "And I'm the bad boy." He added as he placed the bacon on his plate and went for the toast.

"My little devil," Lily finished, and then they kissed again. It was sweet, and chaste, but it was still weird. I had to wonder if this was what it was like for everybody else when James and I got together. Oh after three months, most people were used to us. Still for our best friends, was it weird to see us kissing. Or was it just weird because this was Lily Evans, prefect, studier, part of the Slug Club, and soon-to-be Head Girl, kissing Sirius Black, prankster, lazy ass bum, quidditch star, and the word Head Boy made him cringe. Hmm, must be true what they say, opposites attract.

"You two are going to take it slow, right?" The big brother part of being Lily's best friend kicked in, and I directed my question to Sirius. Sirius laughed, and I swear I heard Lily mutter something along the lines of "hypocrite."

"I'm sorry, what constitutes as slow for you Mr. "I love you, now suck me?" Sirius asked.

"We were friends for five-and-a-half years first," James argued.

"I'm not going to stop kissing her so I can be her friend for the next five years," Sirius dead-panned. Lily nodded her agreement to this. "Anyways, do you two even know what this is?" He pulled Lily back to him for a second.

"What?" James asked, as though Sirius had just trailed off on his question.

"Yes, it's called a chaste kiss, sweet, simple, and needs lots of witnesses to prove it happened." I explained, "Where as this," I pulled James to me, and as every time our lips met we were gentle for a second, and then our tongues were begging for entrance, and our hands were tightening around each other as we tried to share the same body.

"Alright, that's enough," Sirius called, and we broke away. James' lips were red and I knew mine had to be as well. We smiled at the new couple. "Yes, we get it, you two don't have the ability to keep your hands to yourself. We'll take it slow, big brother." He promised, before stealing one last kiss from Lily and turning to finish his breakfast.

"So when are you two going to Hogsmeade," James asked as he poured two glasses full of orange juice. My glass was sitting right next to his, it seemed logical to just do it in one swoop. Or, at least that had been our excuse the first time it happened, now he did it every morning, and it was just habit.

"Saturday," Lily answered as though that were obvious. James and I both turned to look at Sirius who seemed to be entranced in his bacon.

"I was thinking Wednesday, the Broomstick is having a party for equinox, thought it would be fun." Sirius answered our question. Lily turned to look at him with a wary glance. "That is only if you trust me not to get you caught, and would like to go." Sirius offered. Lily thought about it for a second, no literally a second, before she was nodding her consent to the idea.

"Can't really be Sirius Black's girlfriend if I'm not up for sneaking out of the castle a few times can I?" She asked as Sirius grinned at the idea of taking her to the party the next night. James and I laughed, Sirius just shrugged. Thinking about it, I think he wouldn't care if she sneaked out with him a few times or not, as long as she called herself his girlfriend. I don't know if Sirius had ever had a "girlfriend," sure there were people that called him their boyfriend, for a week. I just don't think I ever heard Sirius want to use the label of commitment. Lily was going to be good for him.

As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months my theory would prove correct. Lily was good for Sirius, she calmed him, and he even started writing his own essays. Lily wasn't just good for Sirius though, Sirius was good for Lily. He showed her a world that he and James had shown me a few years earlier. Thomas Edison once said, "Hell, there are no rules here, we are trying to accomplish something." I think Lily began to see that even though rules could keep you safe, they can also hinder you from finding real adventure. With Lily, Sirius calmed, with Sirius, Lily lived.

A/N: I couldn't leave Sirius and Lily with nobody for them to love, could I? What do you guys think so far?
