The next morning, Sirius woke up to movement right beside him. He was surrounded by blonde hair and was in the heads common room.
"What-tha?" Sirius looked down and it all came back to him; the game, James' kiss, falling asleep next to Abby . . .
"Abby, sweetheart, wake up." Sirius kissed her on the forehead.
"I am awake, I'm the one who woke you up in the first place." She kissed him on the cheek after getting up from her bed. "I'm going to go check on Lily, you can go back to sleep. It's only Saturday." Abigail yawned and walked around a bit, opening the curtains.
"No, I'm already up. Hey, where's James and Lily?" Sirius looked around and Abby just shrugged and continued opening the curtains. However, Sirius, being the curious one he his, started searching for the missing couple. He looked everywhere; downstairs and then he told Abby that he was going to James' room. Abby told him to wait, so she would quickly tidy herself up a bit. Even though she didn't show it, Abby was just as curious as Sirius. The couple ventured up to James' room and knocked on the door. When no one replied, they opened the door gently.
"OH. MY. GOD!!!" Was all Abby could say. Sleeping in James Potter's bed was not typical Lily Evans behavior.
"GO PRONGS!!" Sirius bellowed. His voice reached Remus' ears as soon as James woke up. At first James didn't quite notice the two figures standing in his doorway; he was far too shocked to see Lily Evans in HIS bed. When he finally did look up, he started to panic. He got out of bed with only pajama pants on and looked back at the sleeping Lily. He was thinking about her radiant beauty when Sirius' voice cut in.
"Whoa, Prongs, one kiss and then . . . Wow." Remus, who had now risen to the top of the stairs with Sirius and Abby, was barely awake enough to comprehend anything. That phrase, he could understand, and he was completely shocked.
"James, you didn't . . ." He looked at one of his best friends.
"NO, I swear!" James held his hands up above his head. He would never do that to Lily, not after they're first kiss.
"Well, seeing as you've never gotten any, you wouldn't lie." Sirius covered his mouth because of the secret that had just slipped out.
"You're a virgin?!?" Abby was caught off guard, "even I'm not a virgin."
"That was too much information. I don't want to hear about what you and Sirius do in your spare time. EWWW, REALLY BAD IMAGE!" James covered his eyes and tried to shake the image out of his head.
Lily, who was pretending to be asleep, heard the whole argument. She gently climbed out of bed (still wearing James' jersey) at James' last comment and went up to him.
"You're a virgin!" Lily said, relieved.
"Well . . . Yeah." He ran a hand through his messy, gorgeous locks.
"Me too," Lily walked apst the group on the staircase and went to sit on the sofa.
"Are you cure you didn't Prongs? She is wearing your Quidditch jersey . . ." Everyone looked to Lily's back on the couch to confirm the comment.
"She was cold, so I gave her the shirt." He shrugged and went to go sit next to Lily.
"So, are you two going out now?" Jackie, being curious, asked first. Her question was met with comments from others also wanting to know the answer to that question.
"Well . . ." Lily trailed off as she looked at James. They had talked very briefly about this last night, coming to a quick consensus.
"Yes," James finished. Lily knew he was also searching last night's conversation. Sirius went over to Remus and held out his hand.
"Pay up Moony," Sirius grinned at the boy, looking triumphant.
"You couldn't wait for Halloween?" Remus whined, giving Sirius the 10 galleons that he owed him; his whole Honeydukes fund, down the toilet. The new found couple laughed and shook their heads. Halloween would've been far too long. They all went back to their activities after that. James and Lily went for a walk around the castle after they got changed (Lily not wanting to take off James' incredibly good-smelling shirt). Sirius and Abby went down for a last breakfast while Remus and Jackie stayed and talked along with Alice and Frank. Eventually, those four got to playing a vigorous game of Exploding Snap.
When James and Lily got back, it was dinnertime. Lily knew this was going to be the hardest part of her day; everyone finding out about her and James' relationship. They walked straight into the great hall hand in hand and took their seats next to their friends at the Gryffindor table. The 'I 3 James Potter' club came over to Lily at her seat. James put an arm around her as the girls spoke, making sure the fan girls knew who he'd chosen.
"Well, well, Lily Evans is dating James Potter. I thought I'd never live to see the day. FYI, Lily, we still hate you and you'll be given a rude awakening because of this whole . . . Situation. We've always hated; especially after we found who James really fancies." Kaitlin, the head of the 'club', was cut off.
"Well then, if he OBVIOUSLY fancied me, then why did you keep trying?" Lily looked at each of them with a questioning look. "That's what I thought. So, Kaitlin, you and your posse need to stay away from my boyfriend or you might just get pranked." She looked to the boys for approval; all of which were nodding enthusiastically at the preposition. The boys continued eating while Lily continued her conversation.
"Oh, and also, never ever insult me or any one of my friends again . . . Because you might just get a little taste of me." Sirius and James just looked down at their plates, fear etched upon their faces. They had gotten on the wrong side of Lily at least once every year and they could tell you personally that it is much better to be the right side of her. Kaitlin scoffed and went back to her seat. Lily looked pleased and just when James couldn't be more shocked, she kissed him passionately on the lips.
"Oi, you two, stop that, its disgusting!" Sirius put his hand over his eyes to 'sheild' them as he would call it. A smile was still on his face though, his immense happiness for his two friends showing through.
"You think you're any better?!" James broke away from the kiss. Lily chuckled, she knew he had a point; Sirius and Abby weren't exactly against public displays of affection. The rest of dinner was very normal (well, as normal as you can be with a group of teenage witch and wizards) and after that the whole group went back to the Head's Common Room. This time they just talked an played exploding snap. As far as Lily was concerned, life was perfect.
