Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter because I am not the lovely JKR.

I feel so terrible, I've had this on my Flash Drive for about a week. I swear I thought I'd uploaded it, went in to write the next chapter and discovered that I hadn't put it up. I'm so sorry, so please enjoy and I'll update another chapter before the end of today. ~May-who-is-extremely-sorry

Chapter 20

Sirius and Remus were wheeling the borrowed camera down the hall. Evelynn had started to set up for the Christmas Day shooting and filming part of the written television 'episode'. This was the fourth morning three of the Marauders had found James and Lily like this. They were determined to get it on camera. Remus began to situate it, the camera already on. He quickly accessed the control board and began to set it up for recording. Peter was watching from a distance so that if James got mad Peter could continue to film. Just as Remus pressed the record button and the camera rolled to life, the pair shifted closer to the other. Sirius began to narrate.

"So it's Christmas Eve morning. Lily's mum just got here yesterday and it's been four days since Lily got here."

"Five days Sirius." Remus told him and Sirius gave him a surprised look.

"Really? It's all melded together really, Lily just so awesome." Remus began to laugh but Sirius clamped a hand over his mouth because James and Lily were still sleeping.

"This is the what, third morning we've found them like this?"

"Fourth."

"Blimey." Sirius was really shocked. "I'm telling ya Moony, this is going to kill my brain if I can't keep track of how long the lovely Lily has been with us."

"Just continue before they wake up." Remus waved the boy on.

"Well, the past four nights, still can't believe it, Lily and James have fallen asleep together in the same room… and bed…" Sirius added the last bit as an afterthought. "You don't think-"

"Of course I think, but not what you're thinking. We have no physical proof that they're even together yet. I find it hilarious that Lily even told her cousin that James was her boyfriend seeing as she hated him so much."

"Oh look Lily's rolling over. See if you can zoom in on them Remus." Remus obeyed and the camera shot forward to zoom in on the pair. "It looks like they're cuddling."

"No, James just has his arm draped over Lily and she happens to be hugging it." Remus commented another laugh bubbling up and out of him.

"I think Lily is stirring." Sirius whispered trying to hide behind Remus. Sure enough a moment later Lily sat up rubbing her eyes. James arm fell to her lap and she stared at the door for a second before she registered the camera.

"Hey James." Lily poked him in the side and he let out a grunt. Lily bent down to his ear and said calmly: "James."

James stirred and propped himself up on one elbow, the other arm still around Lily. She pointed to it and he rolled over rubbing his eyes reaching for the glasses on his nightstand.

"I have a feeling you're going to kill your friends." Lily told him as James adjusted his glasses.

"Why?" He gave her a crooked smile leaning back on his hands, tangled in the covers. Lily merely pointed to the door and the minute James saw he was out of the bed and charging toward the door. "Sirius, Remus, I am going to kill the pair of you!"

Lily rumpled her messy red hair as Peter showed up at the door.

"Hey Peter." Lily yawned stretching.

"Good morning Lily." Peter just stood there not knowing what to do.

"That thing still recording?" Lily pointed at the camera and Peter nodded.

"I'm not sure how to stop it." He admitted.

"I'll come over and help." Lily swung her legs over the side of the bed. "Let me just find my slippers."

"Thanks." Lily slid down to the floor and pulled out a pink pair of slippers. As she put them on, her back to camera Peter whistled. "What?"

"Your nightgown." He gestured to the low-cut back.

"Ah yes, my sister gave it to me. She was under the impression that I was somewhat of a- I don't know how to say it without sounding weird. One of those girls that 'get around', if you know what I mean." Lily wiggled air quotes around the words and Peter nodded.

"So are you and James, together?" Peter asked as Lily headed towards the camera to try and figure out how to shut it off.

"I don't know, well, I guess I do know we aren't really together." Lily sighed as she began to work the system.

"Do you want to be together?" Peter questioned.

"I feel like I should say no because I always have, but-" Lily drifted off resting her chin on the black camera box. She pressed a button and the camera shut off then it powered down and Peter smiled at her.

"I think you should tell him."

"I probably should, but I don't know if I have the courage to." Lily sighed again.

"I think you'll find James' reaction promising." Peter advised before sauntering to his own room, Remus and Sirius appeared at the top of the steps panting, James close behind them.

"Hey Lily, where's Peter?" Remus asked gasping.

"In his room, the camera's off now." Lily told him and Sirius snapped his fingers.

"Darn." Lily rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm going to go get ready for the day; Evelynn says we're not filming till tomorrow." Lily announced turning her back on the crowd and heading down the hall toward her room. Sirius let out a low whistle and there was a loud smacking sound, Lily figured that James had slapped him. There was a loud thud and she could hear Peter cheering which meant the boys were wrestling.

"Where were you last night?" Sarah Evans screeched as Lily pushed open the bedroom door. The fighting stopped suddenly as they listened to the conversation, or yelling, happening just down the hall from them. Lily was not going to have fun explaining this.

"I fell asleep in James' room, sorry mum." Lily edged around the question.

"Why were you sleeping in his room?"

"We were talking and just fell asleep, it wasn't on purpose." Lily defended.

"Are you two dating?"

"No mum!" Lily was exasperated. "I am not dating James, it was a complete accident can't you just accept that?"

"I guess. Better get ready for today darling; I'll go see if Evanescence needs any help." Her mother disappeared down the hall, Lily heard her mum greet the boys. "Good morning boys, you haven't been fighting have you?"

"No ma'am." They replied and Lily let out a lilting laugh disappearing into her room.
