James and Lily both slid down the girls dormitory's still transformed stairs to the common room. James wordlessly lit the now dying fire and moved to sit by Lily.

"Remember, two feet." Lily halfheartedly murmured.

"Is that what you really want?" James whispered leaning in closer, his breath ghosting over her lips.

". . . Yes."

"For some reason I don't believe that."

"Well y...you should." His intoxicating scent of quiddage fields and Honeyduke's chocolate washed over her, making it nearly impossible for her to form comprehensible sentences.

James was glad Lily didn't respond right away. It gave him a chance to stare at her without having to break away from his fantasies due to the effort of listening.

Lily couldn't help leaning into his warmth. The small bit of logic left in her slowly melting brain told her that her actions weren't helping the cause, but her instincts took over.

It was impossible to tell who moved first, but the next second both their lips were captured in a searing kiss. Lily moaned as James tongue licked and nipped at her bottom lip instantly gaining entrance. Lily's hands latched into James' already unruly hair and James' around her waist. He slowly pulled her onto his lap were their bodies seemed to comfortably mold together. There was no telling how long they stayed like that, but eventually they broke for air, barely an inch apart their foreheads rested against the other.

In a voice hardly audible James whispered, "Go out with me."

Lily knew there could be no more postponing the inevitable much longer, ". . . yes"

James couldn't even begin to explain the emotional high he was experiencing. He had finally obtained the love of his life after years of trying. Instead he simply pulled her into an, if possible, even more passionate kiss. Only did the break away when they heard the portrait hole open.

As they looked up, in shuffled Minerva McGonagall. It was quite odd to see a teacher in her pajamas. She was wearing a crimson robe with a golden tie around the waist, although her pinned up hair and glasses were still in place.

"Hello professor," Lily smiled. James was still lost in the previous moment.

"Yes hello Miss Evans, Potter. I think you should come with me."

"I swear I didn't do it! You have no proof!" James shouted as a reflex reaction.

"I'll be sure to take that into consideration, no, no, I'm afraid Mr. Black did this."

"Sirius, what'd he do?"

"I meant the other Mr. Black, Regulas, I'm afraid he has severely wounded Mr. Lupin. He's in the hospital wing, I believe he's about to wake up now."

James paled, "Where's Sirius?"

"I believe I heard him muttering something about the astronomy tower on his way to past me out the door."

"Lily love, I got to go find Sirius, can you go tell Rem that I'll see him later."

"Sure." They didn't dare kiss in front of their professor, but none the less she still gave them a knowing look.

But All James was concerned about was stopping one of his best friends from going to Azkaban because of murder.

Well sated, Peter left his secret lover and made his way down the hall from the room of requirement, away from the figure of the retreating blond. On his way he passed a very disheveled looking James.

"Hey. . ." he began.

"Can't talk; go to the hospital room to see Remus! Meet you there!" he huffed.

Grumbling to himself, he headed to the apparent rendezvous place his fellow marauder had indicated. Though annoyed, his satisfied smile still remained.

-XOXOXOXO-

Regulas and Severus sat millimeters apart on the edge of the astronomy tower's window, looking out over the grounds covered in the slowly setting sun's glow.

Snape unceremoniously laid his head in his best mates lap taking in the scenery. Simple gestures, though some would call romantic, were common for the trio, but were mainly witnessed between Snape and Regulas.

"Sev?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"I suppose"

"Is. . . the reason you're so mad at my brother and Remus, is- is it because they're. . .gay or because you just hate them?"

"I suppose revenge is the main reason."

"So . . . so you don't have a problem with poofs."

"No. . . It wouldn't make much sense due to the fact that I am one . . . or at least half and half."

"What!"

"I'll kill you!" Sirius burst through the doors, a wild glint in his eyes. He scanned the scene briefly before muttering, Expelliarmus to Snape and a quick binding charm efficiently rendering him harmless.

He then did likewise to his brother save for the binding charm and simply stood.

"Sirius, what's going. . . "

"Shut up. Reg, how could you do this? Why? We're bloody brothers for Merlin's sake! You left one of the best people in Hogwarts barely conscious. As if his life wasn't hard enough! Do you own a heart?" Sirius was now shaking with anger.

"Sirius. . ."

Sirius didn't wait to hear his brother out as he jumped the boy.

He, being one never to do anything halfhearted, effectively wrapped his hands around the youths neck and began to repeatedly bang his brothers head on the concrete, savoring the red fluid that began to seep out. He was now crazed. He wanted to beat the bastard within a mere inch of his life. Seeing the helpless boy under him began to turn blue, he left go, and began punching every part of his exposed body that would cause the most pain.

"You bloody bastard! I love him! Don't you dare, ever try to take that away from me," Sirius shouted as he stood and spat. He brought his leg up preparing to kick until he was suddenly tackled by the mass of someone with unruly hair and glasses.

"Padfoot," James shouted restraining his friend. "It's not worth it. You'll only make it worse and you know you'll upset Moony!" At hearing that he stopped struggling. After being sure Sirius wouldn't attack again, he let boy go.

James carefully muttered an oblivious charm on Severus so he'd forget the attack he'd just helplessly witnessed, put a simple sleeping spell on him and undid his bonds, while carefully placing his wand in his pocket.

"C'mon," he muttered "Let's take him to Pomfrey. Wormtail and Lily are waiting. She said yes mate!"

"Well it's about bloody time, good for you." Sirius congratulated halfheartedly as he placed his hands under his brothers arms, as James grabbed Regulas' feet, slowly making their way to the hospital wing.

-XOXOXOXO-

Two hours later, Severus still sat on the astronomy towers window thinking. A little confused, he idly wondered where Regulas had gone as he pondered the intelligence of revealing one of his deepest secrets to his mate.

For the third time that day the door burst open, but this time in came Lucius Malfoy.

"Consider phase two officially initiated!" The blond smiled.

"Excellent! How was it?"

"He's not that bad. . . but you still owe me."

"When are you going to carry out the rest of the plan?"

"I don't know, I'd give it a week."

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" he smirked.

"Like I said, it's not that bad, but I've got to go, I still have a date with Narcissa."
