Chapter Fifteen –
(Unknown P.O.V)
The melodic chanting fills the dimly lit chamber, reverberating in my ears. I follow along with the chant almost instinctually, having said these words many times before. I look up past my deep purple hood, looking to each member of the "cult", from Blue Badger, to Old Owl and to our leader- called simply, Red.
These were simply codenames for our frequent meetings, but they had a purpose. The dim chamber, lit only by torches on the stone wall, goes completely silent as the chanting stops. I wait with bated breath for Red to begin.
"Our plan is halfway complete," Red begins, her feminine voice echoing off the circular walls. Her entire appearance covered by her deep purple hooded robe, Red's pink and purple emblem shining as the torches catch it.
"Maroon Mouse report."
"Oh, uhm…" I start as I hear my codename, gaining composure as I talk. "After following Snape yesterday, I managed to get some information..."
"Go on…" Red pushes curiously.
Reaching into my robe pocket, I pull out nearly twenty or so photos- all of Snape and Sirius Black. I followed them to the lake, taking pictures of their intimate moment.
"Here," I say, a proud grin adorning my covered face. "I took these yesterday, of the two lovebirds."
A chorus of murmurs echo, Old Owl and Blue Badger 'awing' a little and Red nodding as if impressed, approaching me to take the photos.
"Good work Maroon Mouse," Red says with a smirk, pocketing them. "These will be perfect in the collection."
"Thank you Red," I bow slightly, giddy with excitement. A sense of achievement flowing through me.
"Old Owl?" Red inquires, as she turns to my fellow member, Old Owl standing upright at her attention. "Report?"
"Lucius Malfoy seems to be less public about his affections than I hoped," Owl sighs, but brings out a piece of paper. "However, my Slytherin contacts discovered this letter from Lucius to Snape. It was a note he left when he bought Snape new clothes."
"Hm…" Red shakes her head slightly, taking the note from Old Owl. "Not good enough, I'll put it in the collection but I'd appreciate some… photos next time."
"Of course Red, sorry," Old Owl apologizes, bowing her head. "I'll do my best."
"Of course you will," Red tuts and turns to Blue Badger- who eagerly steps forward.
"James Potter has been very affectionate with Snape," Badger laughs, bringing out a bunch of photos. "I've managed to take some photos of them in Hogsmeade, in the hallways… you should see how saucy they got in The Three Broomsticks!"
Red took the photos, a gasp escaping her at some of the photos. "That's amazing Blue Badger, it seems Snape is getting more… friendly with the boys. Soon enough we might catch them actually fucking!"
A chorus of giggles and laughter echoes in the chamber, I grow giddy with the thought.
"Remember girls," Red turns to us all, "You all follow the three boys respectively as much as you possibly can, we need as many photos for the 'collection' before Dumbledore gets the antidote."
"Don't forget the bet!" Owl giggles, I smirk to myself.
"Ah, of course," Red chuckles, "Well whoever's boy Snape fucks first, wins. 5 galleons wasn't it?"

"Good work James!"
"You're the best, man!"
"Haha, no problem guys!" I say happily, to my muddy Quidditch team walking beside me towards the castle, running a hand through my equally dirty hair. I've just finished a training session with my team- for the upcoming Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match, I somehow was able to get along with Sirius too…
"We're so gonna' beat those stinking Slytherins," Sirius grins beside me, nudging my shoulder playfully. I nudge him back with a smirk, lowering my voice as I respond.
"Maybe we'll impress Sev too," I say with a quiet chuckle, Sirius grinning even wider.
"I'll impress him more," Sirius states in a sing-song voice, dodging my aimed push with a loud laugh.
"As if," I scoff lightly, "Sod."
Sirius 'hmmphs', his wild hair even wilder after the training session, our group slowly decreases and it's just me and Sirius trudging through the castle.
"So…" Sirius says quietly, sounding subdued enough that I look at him with slight worry. "How come you moved on from Lily to Sev?"
"What?" I say confused, looking at my best friend like he grew two heads, "Where did this question come from?"
"Just curious," Sirius shrugs, arching a brow at me. "You did love Lily not long ago… and now you love Severus? I'm just wondering how you moved on so fast, that's all…"
"Well…" I begin, finding myself lost for words as I tried to think of an answer. "I… I… don't know."
"You don't know?" Sirius questions incredulously, as I panic internally.
Surely I would have an answer for such a simple question?
But it wasn't simple, it was strange. My feelings for Severus felt so real and passionate and strong!
Yet I can't help but find it odd, that I felt those same feelings for Lily and suddenly… they were gone. Gone were the fantasies of red hair, now replaced by shiny black.
Green eyes replaced by deep almost onyx brown.
"Just shut up," I childishly snap to Sirius, refusing to acknowledge the spoken logic. Sirius tuts as if almost expecting the retort.
"Fine," Sirius sighs, shrugging unbothered, "Just wondering- it's bad enough that Malfoy has Sev's affections…"
"Sev likes Malfoy!?" I nearly yell, gaining weird looks as we enter the Gryffindor common room. Sirius leads me to our empty dormitory, I go to sit on my bed.
"Apparently so," Sirius shrugs, annoyance creeps into his voice as he continues. "Malfoy doesn't deserve Sev, but he feels that way about all three of us… we'll just have to make do."
"Make do?" I ask, leaning against my headboard with a sigh. Sirius shrugs.
"Well I assume you want Sev's happiness?" I nod, "Then we gotta be there for him, whether we have to share him or not to make him happy. Like we did in the Astronomy Tower…"
"Ugh, but with Malfoy?" I groan, Sirius grimacing in response. "He's an insufferable twat."
"Well Severus sees something in him," Sirius points out, "Something past that… posh arse "everything is mine" behavior…"
"Still," I say, sighing lightly. With a grimace I remember how muddy and grimy I am. "I'm off for a shower…"
Sirius gives me a nod as I walk to the shower room, I quickly strip out of my Quidditch clothes, sending a cheeky grin to the mirror as I step under the shower head, sighing in relief as the warm water starts, the feel of the clean water against my skin pleasant. Time passes fast, and I've been in the shower for nearly an hour, having shaved, shampooed and conditioned my hair as well as washing the dirt away.
I feel like a new man as I towel dry myself, grinning like a loon into the mirror-
SNAP!
"Fuck!"
The loud shutter of a camera makes me jump, I quickly turn to face the sound about to yell out- what kind of pervert would take pictures!?
"Who's there!?" I angrily shout, rushing out to the empty dormitory- Sirius was gone somewhere, "Sirius, is that you? This isn't funny man!"
The door opens and slams shut.
"A invisibility charm…?" I say aloud, feeling quite disturbed by the events… I don't appreciate people taking pictures of my naked body without my consent. I doubt it was Sirius pulling a prank either…
Shaking my head, I get dressed into my jeans and t-shirt. I gasp slightly as I notice my drawers were open, someone went through my stuff!
"What a weirdo…" I sigh to myself, closing my drawers. Disturbingly enough, some of my boxers were missing… this was too creepy.
"You alright James?" a voice asks from behind me, I recognize Moony's voice and turn to him with a small smile. I'm still put off from what just happened…
"I heard you shout, so I thought I'd come up to check on you…" Remus says tentatively, noticing the state I'm in.
"The weirdest thing just happened Moony…" I sigh, running a hand through my now clean locks. "I think someone stole my underwear and took photographs of me naked. I didn't see who it was, they must have had an invisibility charm on or something…"
"What?" Remus gasps slightly, a look of mild disgust on his face. "That's so… disturbing."
"I know right?" I sigh, flopping down on my bed. "You didn't see anyone when coming up the stairs?"
"No," Remus shook his head, sitting down on his bed. A thoughtful look on his face. "I didn't see anyone, but we should probably lock the door from now on…"
"You don't have to tell me twice," I chuckle slightly, trying to bring some humor in the fucked up situation. I run my hands through my hair tiredly. "Moony, this year has been so strange…"
"You don't have to tell me twice," Moony repeats with a small smile, we both laugh.
~tbc~
See you next time! Don't worry, I won't give up on this fic : )
