Lily grumbled as she awoke from her sleep, she was curled up on something soft, and warm. It was comfortable except fro the damned thing sticking into her thigh. Lily opened her eyes slowly and realised she was in the Gryffindor common room once more. Very quickly she realised she was once again sitting across Remus' lap, with her legs hanging over the side, wondering what the hell could be sticking under her, she felt around innocent as she is, and froze. She gulped loudly, and heard Remus murmur in his sleep. Realisation of what it was hit her like a ton of bricks and in a state of shock she fell off Remus' lap with a squeal.
"What?!" Remus yelled, jumping to his feet in a sleepy stupor. He looked down, first to see Lily in a pile on the floor, covering her eyes, and bright red in the face, and then he noticed... His friend. Remus flushed bright red.
"I-I... Erm... Er... S-sorry," Remus stuttered, first time he'd been in this situation.
"It's ok," Lily squeaked from behind her hands, and before she knew it Remus was roaring with laughter, Lily looked up at him as if he was insane, before seeing the funny side and laughing too. It was a while before either recovered, but Remus did hurry off pretty soon. Lily sunk back into the chair, her face still bright red, but not feeling so embarrassed.
Thinking she had enough time, Lily hoped off the chair and walked up the Gryffindor Seventh year girls' dorms, it was currently empty, as most of them had ended up staying in either a guy's room or passed out at the party. She grabbed her clothes and walked into the bathroom, she really wanted a shower, figuring she'd have enough time she jumped into the shower, enjoying the feeling of the boiling water over her skin. "Lily?" She heard someone call.
Lily must have jumped three foot in the air, she peeked out behind the shower curtain, no one was there.
"Hello?" Lily called, the room was misty.
"Lily, it's me," Called Remus' voice, she relaxed, and then tensed up again, he couldn't come in here. 'How the hell did he even get into the Girls dorms?' She thought.
"Er, I'm kinda in the shower!" Lily called.
"Oh. Erm, I can go to the common room if you want?" Remus called back.
Lily cursed silently; she didn't want to seem as if she was kicking him out.
"No, don't worry; I'll be out in a couple of mins. Just wait on my bed; it's the one with the purple comforter," Lily called. She heard him move and then silence, quickly she washed her hair and then stepped out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around her body and cursed when she realised she'd left her wand in the bedroom. Sighing in defeat she stepped towards the door and opened it enough to stick her head out. "Could you pass me my wand?" Lily asked Remus who nodded and handed her the wand sitting on her bedside table. "Thanks." She muttered and then disappeared back into the bathroom.
Five minutes later she appeared wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a grey hoodie with black stars all over it, the zip was undone enough to show a bright pink, low cut tank top. She placed her hot pink pumps on her feet, and pulled her hair into a messy bun. She placed on a little mascara and clear lip gloss before smiling at Remus.
"Sorry I took so long, you ready to face the world?" She said sheepishly, grinning at Remus, who nodded, he was wearing a t-shirt which was the most gorgeous shade of blue, and a pair of jeans and white trains, he looked nice.
"I must ask, what's with all the heels, I'm afraid to say I did see about two hundred pairs scattered underneath and around your bed," Remus admitted.
"Oh, the heels. It's because I'm so short, this way I have a better walk, and some height," Lily replied with a grin, Remus wouldn't argue though, he liked the way Lily fit under his arm when he had his arm across her shoulders.
"Ah, yes, I did notice you were a bit on the short side this morning with no shoes on," Remus said grinning, Lily whacked him playfully as they walked into the great hall, they sat down together and smiled as Allie joined them. She smiled brightly.
"So what did you two get up to last night?" Allie asked grinning.
"Not a lot, talked mostly." Remus answered.
"Whatever, you never kiss and tell Mooney." Allie snapped playfully.
"You're up rather early aren't you?" Lily asked.
"Yes well I ended up having to go to bed earlier then planned." Allie said with a devilish glint in her eyes. "Frank can hardly keep his hands to himself."
Lily smirked.
"Naughty girl." Lily joked, waving her spoon at her friend, or so she guessed, she wasn't really sure if she was friends with any of the girls.
"Don't you know it bitch." Allie drawled and then winked at Lily and blew her a kiss. "Hold up!" Allie suddenly shouted getting to her feet. "Mars!" She screamed, Marlene sauntered into the room with a smirk plastered to her face, attached to her was Sirius, looking fairly smug himself.
"Oh sweetie, you must be exhausted." Allie said, Lily cringed, she knew what the older girl meant. "Sorry darling." Allie said apologetically, completely forgetting that Lily was his little sister.
Sirius smirked at Lily.
"You can't even say anything." He taunted playfully.
"No but I can do this." She said and held up her spoon of oatmeal and flung it at him. Sirius gasped, she'd caught him right on the nose and it splattered over his face, Allie, Marlene and Remus looked shocked for a second before bursting out laughing.
"She did not." Sirius gasped, whipping the stuff from his face, Lily sat there across from him looking angelic and sweet and innocent. Sirius hoped over the table and caught Lily around the waist before she registered what he was doing, and threw her own his shoulder. She squealed loudly as Remus, Mars and Allie followed.
They passed, James, Dorcas, Nay, Sev, Reggie and Lucius as Sirius carried Lily kicking and screaming outside.
"What the hell is he doing to her?" Regulus demanded from Mars.
"Getting payback." Mars replied. "She threw oatmeal in his face."
They followed Sirius until he reached the lake.
"He wouldn't!" Lily shouted at Regulus, who shrugged apologetically but in an 'I told you so' manner.
Suddenly Lily found herself flying threw the air and then SPLASH! She landed in the freezing lake. When she finally reached the surface she was shivering. She swam back to the lakes edge and climbed out with Remus' and Regulus' help. She was shivering violently.
"Now what won't we ever do again." Sirius said tauntingly.
"I-if you d-don-don't g-get a-way f-from m-me no-now you w-will-will nev-never h-ave k-kids." Lily said shivering.
Sirius paled and ran for it as Remus wrapped Lily up in his cloak.
"Let's get you dry." He said and walked inside with her, wrapping her up in his arms.
"And all he is actually managed to do is push them closer together. That wasn't exactly the plan was it Reggie." Mars said to Regulus as they watched Remus walk Lily inside.
"No, actually it was to duck tape her knickers to her body so no one could get near her." Regulus replied in a bored tone. "He is such an idiot." He shook his head and walked inside with the others.
Remus reached the Gryffindor Common room, he got Lily to go up and told her to wait for in her the girls' dorms. By the time she reached the Seventh year girls dorms Remus was standing there with his broom, the window open. He closed to window and turned on the heating.
"There, it should be warmer in here soon." Remus said, he took his cloak back, and helped Lily peel her hoodie off, as it had practically stuck itself to her arms. He threw it onto the drying rack next to the heating, he turned around and to see Lily pull her tank top off over her head. He eyes plastered themselves onto her bare back. Lily looked over her shoulder, still shivering and rolled her eyes at him. She pulled out a baggy top from her wardrobe and pulled it over her head once her and pulled her hair into a messy bun, she reached behind her and tried to unclasp her bra, but couldn't quite with her shaking hands.
"R-Remus, c-cou-could y-you do t-this?" Lily asked, she lifted the back of her top up so she was keep everything covered, but so he could get to the clasp.
"Yeah." He said quietly and quickly undid the clasp. She muttered her thanks and pulled her top back down. Remus sighed, as he stepped back. He dated beautiful girls before, he'd seen then completely bare before him, but there was something about Lily which was different. Which is why no matter how much James hated him for it, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to be with her.
She kicked off her pumps and pulled her top down so it was covering her lower half before undoing the buckle on her jeans. She tried to pull them down but the jean was sticking to her legs. Lily groaned. "I'll k-kill h-him." Lily said, her shivers less now that the room was heating up.
"Sit on the bed." Remus said, Lily sat on the foot of her bed and Remus grabbed the bottom of her jeans and pulled them down her long legs, Lily had to lift herself slightly, so that Remus could pull them down as she was sitting on the backside of the jeans, but once he managed to get them down past her knees she collapsed back onto the bed. Lily pulled them the rest of the way down and threw them into the bathroom.
"Today was certainly eventful." Lily groaned as she fell back so she was lying on the bed, Remus came and sat beside her before he too fell back and lay next to her.
"Eventful indeed." Remus replied, turned and smiled at Lily. "So you're in my year." Remus said.
"You realised, wow, quick one you are." Lily said sarcastically, turning on her side towards Remus, propping her head up on her left hand and grinning at him.
"Surprisingly enough I did." Remus said with a slight laugh. Lily smirked at him and shook her head.
"Fool." She said with a giggle.
"You didn't call me a fool." Remus stated, his eyes twinkling.
Lily smirked at him.
"What if I did?" She taunted. Remus growled, and leaned up, he kissed her forcefully, not that she minded, and leaned over more so he pushed her down onto her back, and was half on top of her. Suddenly, quite to Lily's surprise, he nibbled on her bottom lip, while his hands, slowly worked their way under her top. Lily gasped as his hands reached her chest, as Remus found the pulse point on her neck, almost instinctively her back arched as she let out a soft moan.
She hadn't even realised her fingers were trailing lower and lower down his back, feeling every ripple.
But Lily was ripped from her own little world with Remus when the door crashed open.
"Off my sister now!" Sirius barked, both Lily and Remus groaned. Remus stood up and glared at Sirius, when Lily stood up Sirius nearly had a heart attack. "Fuck no!" Sirius bellowed. "Lupin! Downstairs now!" Lily crossed her arms over and glared at Sirius.
"Stop being an idiot!" She shouted.
"Idiot! Idiot!" Sirius shouted. "I am not being and idiot! You are here with him! And-and Half Naked!" Sirius shouted. He stamped his foot. Lily rolled her eyes and stalked towards her brother.
"You're not my dad, you can't tell me what I can do and what I can't. Even your mum can't tell me what I can and can't do. So if I were you, I'd turn around and walk away because very quickly you are making me hate you." Lily said very quietly, but with so much anger it was surprising. Sirius stared at Lily, he was red in the face with anger.
"I'm- you- we..." Sirius said through gritted teeth, but really he didn't know what he was trying to see.
"That's what I thought." Lily said and walked into the bathroom, closing the door silently behind her, Remus shook his head, and walked past Sirius, when he reached the common room the four girls were looking up at him with concern, but he didn't have a chance to say anything, because Sirius grabbed him by the shoulder, swung him around, and then punched him square on the jaw.
An hour later there was the biggest argument any of them had ever heard.
"YOU BASTRAD!" Lily screamed.
"DON'T ARGUE WITH ME LILY!" Sirius roared, both looked like they were ready to kill.
"YOU HIT HIM!" Lily screamed, waving her fists around and red in the face, Regulus was really worried as he tried to get between the siblings. Sirius pushed him away.
"HE WAS TOUCHING YOU!" Sirius bellowed.
"EVER THOUGHT I WANTED HIM TO!" Lily screamed. Peter and James were trying pull Sirius away from Lily, as Dorcas and Allie tried to hold Lily back. They were pretty secure in the knowledge Sirius wouldn't even consider hitting Lily, but Remus he wanted to Slaughter. Lily however was ready to rip Sirius apart.
"NO YOU DIDN'T!" Sirius screamed.
Lily laughed bitterly.
"HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW!" Lily screeched.
"I'M YOUR BROTHER THAT'S HOW!" Sirius bellowed.
"No your not!" Lily hissed. Sirius was silenced very suddenly, and his eyes watered slightly. "You're not my brother. Your mum married my dad, we're step brother and sister. You're not my brother, a brother cares, a brother wants their sister to be happy, and brother doesn't hit the guys his sister likes. You are not my brother." Lily hissed.
Regulus cringed at the words she was saying, but knew that they were partially true. Sirius pulled himself out of James and Peters grasp and stepped towards Lily, who swiped her own tears away.
"No, a brother protects his little sister from people who will only end up hurting her, he loves her even though she says horrible things, and will continue doing so even if she hates him for it." Sirius said softly then walked away. Lily screamed, she stamped her foot before collapsing to the floor in a mess.
"I hate him." Lily sobbed.
"No you don't." Remus said softly, wrapping his arms around her. Allie shook her head at the pair, Remus looked up and nodded, he stood up and left the common room. He wasn't the right person to be comforting Lily at the time. So Allie took her place beside the younger girl and let her very on her shoulder.
Mars walked up the boy's staircase and into the seventh year boys' dorms.
"You're really upsetting your sister." Mars said softly, she walked over to him and sat down, she rested her head on his shoulder and waited for him to reply. When he looked at her she was shocked to see tears steadily falling down his cheeks. "Oh Sirius." She murmured and kissed his tears away.
"He's going to hurt her Mars, he won't mean to but he will." Sirius muttered.
"Maybe, but you can't be sure, and right now he makes her happy." Mars said. "Don't be daft, let her find her own feet here. She doesn't understand what things are like here, and to be honest of all the boys she could have picked..."
"Well she didn't pick me." A voice said from the doorway, Mars turned to see James, but Sirius hadn't needed to look, he knew it was him.
"James." Mars said softly.
"Don't worry I get it. No one knows me better then Padfoot, he doesn't want me to hurt Lily, I get it." James said, his tone betraying how hurt he was. "But Remus couldn't hurt her. He really couldn't. You know that as well Padfoot." James said.
"It's not that I don't trust you or Remus." Sirius said deflated.
"It's that you... What don't trust Lily. Bollocks. You don't trust us not to hurt your sister, Mate, I get it." James said, and he knew Sirius trusted Remus and himself with his life, but Sirius did not trust Remus and James with Lily. He wouldn't trust anyone.
