Lily had just finished her Divination homework, meaning she had the whole of Saturday afternoon to herself. However she felt slightly lost, and her first instinct was to go and see the boys but it sounded as if they were all having a bit of a squabble. Her red curls were pulled up into a messy bun and a few wisps had escaped from the side so that they caressed her face. It was June so the weather was very warm. She was wearing a baby blue strappy top that contrasted wonderfully with her hair and was rather low cut. She had a pair of denim shorts on that rose quite high but in her mind it was hot so why not? At least she didn't strut around in her bikini like bloody Poppy Parkinson. God help that woman's children was all Lily had to offer that girl. She decided to go and take her new book outside to the tree by the lake where her and James had shared their first kiss. If he wanted to find her, she knew that would be the first place he'd look. Just as she reached the portrait hole, there was a loud banging noise coming from the boy's stairs when James emerged at the bottom. He looked rough. His face was tear stained and his fist looked bruised and was coated in a cover of hard, stale blood. Their eyes met across the room and he moved towards her. Taking her hand he lead Lily from the common room and along the corridors. As they moved up the staircases he slowly caressed her hand, his body electrifying at her touch. The finally reached the seventh floor and until then Lily had followed James without hesitation but she was now curious to see where they were headed. The feeling of his fingers interlocked with hers felt so right. James drew to a halt at a wall and let thoughts of Lily and his love for her swell up inside his head until she was all he could focus on. There was a sudden loud creaking noise and a door slowly began to emerge from the wall. The Room of Requirement.

James moved forward and Lily followed willingly. She was amazed to see a room decorated with fairy lights and candles around the edge. In the centre, a large patch of fluffy blue pillows and cushions lay, inviting them to approach. James led Lily toward the pillows and sat down, still clutching her hand. She placed herself next to him and began to speak.

"James, I'm s-" she began.

James leaned forward and caressed her mouth with his lips. She responded and moved with him, one hand reaching up to his face whilst the other locked itself into his black mass of hair. James took this as a go for it and placed his hands upon her waist and lifted her onto his lap. They began to move more vigorously now, their tongues colliding and James' hands began to slip beneath the blue top. It was flung to the side without a second glance. She threw his robes to the floor whilst he released her fiery locks from their bobble, allowing them to fall free around her face. He allowed his hands to explore it for a few moments by which time Lily was on her back with James on top of her. James moved to spread kisses below Lily's jaw line and travelled to her earlobe, gently nibbling it as she removed his t-shirt and he undid his pants. Lily's violet satin bra became a thing of the past as did her shorts and matching knickers. They were soon moving as one, cemented together by their passion and love for one another. They broke off halfway through and Lily spoke.

"James Potter, you are a beast and a bad influence on me sir."

He took over again, exploring her body with caring strokes and kisses. She replied first in soft moans then moved faster to keep up with James. Luckily, the soundproof walls did their job well.

Lauren joined Sirius and Lupin for dinner and Sirius was getting impatient.

"Where the hell are they? I wanna know what's happening with them..hey Moony, 5 galleons says we don't see them till tomorrow morning? Dirty pair" he said.

"Really Sirius, James and Lily's sex life does not concern me whatsoever." Lupin exclaimed.

"Ah well, if ya can't beat em, join em I say eh Lauren" Sirius grinned, winking at Lauren.

She smiled back at him and grabbed her bag leaping from the table and pecking him on the cheek.

"7, in your dorm shall we say Black?" she whispered in his ear as she pulled away.

"Sounds good to me Bell" he replied, a cheeky grin expanding on his face.

Lauren flounced off blushing and virtually ran up the staircase. Remus watched her leave and snorted. Why was it that Sirius rushed into sex with every single girl he met, it was as if he was addicted or something. Remus couldn't remember the first girlfriend Sirius he had, but he remembered the mess of the dormitory the day after. James was nearly as bad, although he did it outside of the dorm more, but Lily didn't deserve that. She was caring and loving, not something to be toyed with. Lupin's fists began to squeeze together at the thought of them together. No, he reasoned. Lily was good for James, she had tamed him slightly.

"You ok Moony?" Sirius's voice echoed through the thoughts in Lupin's head and he realised that he had been clenching his fists.

"Yeah, fine. Hey have you seen Pettigrew since the incident? I wanna warn him that our dorm may not be disturbed till at least 11 tonight because a certain someone is a dirty git" Lupin chuckled.

"Me or James now Remus? We're as bad as each other these days!" Sirius joked as Remus shot him a backward grin then left the hall.

Peter had been outside for the most of the afternoon. He had gone to the common room to fetch his Potions homework then sat by the black lake. He had come to a conclusion:

The best way to get at James was through Lily, despite how nice she appeared.

The way to reach Lily was through her blood status. He was pretty sure several Slytherins would be able to help him in that department.

It would have to be very secretly planned and must involve Serverus Snape. That was essential. It musn't get too messy and James must not know until after it had happened.

It would happen next Saturday.
