It's gone on for quite a while now. But I haven't told anyone, not even my two best friends. My two best friends. I can usually tell them anything but I'm afraid they'd let it slip to someone without meaning to.

Arabella Figg and I have been friends since the age of three. My family and I moved into a nice wizarding neighborhood and her family lived next door. They still do. We are both going into our 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a few days. She is a hyper brunette with dancing grey eyes. She's a total party animal, and the first to start the celebration after Gryffindor has won a Quidditch match or the house cup. But, she's the type that would get to ranting about this and that and accidentally let who I have this crush on fly out of her mouth. Speaking of crushes, I am getting a sneaking suspicion that she has a little thing for Remus Lupin, but you never can tell with Arabella.

Monica Lawrence has been best friends with Arabella and I ever since we met her on the Hogwarts Express in our first year. She is a Gryffindor like Arabella and I, and is also going into her 7th year. Monica is perfection according to the majority of Hogwarts male population. She has beautiful golden hair and bright blue eyes. And even though most guys would throw themselves at her feet, she has her eye on one in particular. Sirius Black. They are two peas in a pod.

Sirius is one-fourth of The Marauders. He has long, silky black hair and deep ebony eyes. Sirius is a clown and a prankster, not to mention very cute. But he's not really my type. I've noticed him sneaking glances at Monica as well. I just might have to do something about that.

Remus Lupin is also a Marauder. He's a great guy. He has light brown hair and wise hazel eyes. Most people never have to go through what Remus has had to every month since he was eight. He was bitten by a werewolf, and every full moon he and The Marauders go to the Shrieking Shack. Arabella, Monica, and I only found out about this last year. We found out about a prank they played on Severus Snape, which almost got him killed. Not that this would have been a bad thing.

Severus Snape is a prat. He's usually keeps to himself, but when he does talk, it's a barrage of sarcastic idiocy. He has greasy black hair and black eyes that shout evil. He's a Slytherin and is always in the company of one Lucius Malfoy.

Lucius Malfoy is a disgusting pervert. No other way to say it. He has long blonde hair and cruel grey eyes. He can usually be found harassing or stalking females. However, his favorite activity is irritating the hell out of The Marauders, especially James.

James Potter is perfect. He has messy black hair and dark blue eyes. He's adorable. Maybe he's a prankster, like the rest of The Marauders, but he is the one that saved Snape, so he knows what it means to go too far. He's captain and chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. I started liking James in my fifth year. He came into the common room one day after Quidditch practice, it had been raining, and he was filthy. Soaked to the bone and covered from head to toe in mud. His glasses were askew and his hair was sticking out in hilarious angles. I had never seen anyone look so bloody sexy. But I haven't really done anything about this infatuation because I value his friendship too much.

Peter Pettigrew is obnoxious. He has dirty blonde hair and beady blue eyes. He's ugly and chubby and is, unfortunately, a Marauder. The only ugly one of the bunch. I'm nice to him when I have to be because he's a friend of the guys, but to be honest, he's just plain annoying.

What am I like? Well, my name is Lily Evans. I have red hair and green eyes. I guess I'm a little bit of a bookworm, but I do know how to have fun. I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next girl. Arabella, Monica, and I are honorary Marauders. We and The Marauders do practically everything together. Some people think it's weird, but for us, it's just the way things are.

Two days until I leave for King's Cross station and board the Hogwarts Express. And I see her again. I wonder if she's changed over the summer. She'll still be as beautiful as she ever was. When did I fall in love with her? At the beginning of last year, my 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was walking to the library to do some last minute studying for my History of Magic exam. I opened the doors and there she was. Sprawled out on a large coach on the right side of the room. Her robe and bag were in a chair beside her. She was lying with her legs crossed and a large book propped upon her chest. Her hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail, a few strands falling into her eyes. She had an adorable look of concentration upon her angelic face and the tip of a quill was in her mouth. I had never seen anyone look so bloody gorgeous. I've only told my three best friends Remus, Sirius, and Peter about this obsession for Lily Evans.

Remus also happens to have a crush on Arabella Figg and Sirius one on Monica Lawrence. The Marauders, Arabella, Monica, and Lily are inseparable. We do practically everything together. I can't wait until Friday, when I'll go to King's Cross and see her. I've been going slowly insane for two months, not seeing her everyday. Hearing her voice, watching her every move.

September 1st finally arrived. I looked in my closet for something to wear. I decided on a black miniskirt, my combat boots, and a button-down black shirt with 3/4 length sleeves. I dragged my trunk down the stairs and into the family car. I called to my parents and we hurried off.

When we arrived, my dad helped me find a trolley. I loaded my trunk and the cage with my black cat, Midnight, onto it. My parents followed me through the barrier and kissed me goodbye. I found Arabella and Monica, and together we managed to load our trunks into an overhead compartment. Then we headed towards the end of the train where we always sat, with The Marauders. My heart was pounding. I was going to see him again. James. Perfect James. We reached the compartment and I reached for door. I pulled it open and there he was. I had to try my damndest to not let my knees give out from beneath me.

I had been on the train for about 20 minutes already. Sirius, Remus, and Peter had arrived at various times after me. We were all waiting anxiously for the girls to arrive. Well, except Peter maybe. He never did like them very much. I suddenly heard voices coming towards our compartment. Arabella's excited one, Monica's silky one, and then I heard hers. Her voice made warmth run through my whole body.

The door to the compartment began to slide back and there she was. I had to try my damndest to not fall out of my seat.

-------------------------------------------

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She's got it
Yeah baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, pure desire

-Venus, Bananarama

My heart was racing. I took in Lily's appearance. She was wearing a button-down black shirt, a black miniskirt, and - oh god - her combat boots. I don't know what it is, if it's them or the fact that they're on Lily, but those boots are the biggest turn on. Just makes me want to - literally - lick her boots, you know? I mean, I'm thinking whips and handcuffs, and Lily in those boots. I tried my best to steer my mind away from these thoughts. 'Look into her eyes, not at those damn boots.' I scolded myself.

" Hey James. " Lily smiled at me. My heart melted. That smile. It's better than the boots - if that's possible. Her pearly white teeth were showing from between those luscious, blood red lips. She's always dressed like that - punk. But inside she was pure honey. Just one look at that sugar-coated smile would tell you that.

I took in James' appearance. Always Khaki's, and a blue plaid shirt open revealing another white one beneath it. His hair - god I loved his hair - was as messy as ever. That was the biggest turn on for some reason. Those jet black strands sticking out in every direction. I just wanted my hands in that hair, running the unruly mess through my fingers. Okay, must look into his eyes and stop drooling over his sexy hair. God, his eyes were gorgeous too. 'Stop it right this minute!' I scolded myself.

" Hey Lily. " he responded. He gave me that wonderfully adorable lopsided grin. 'Must not let knees give out, must remain standing.' I chanted mentally. Arabella, Monica, and I entered the compartment and took various seats. Monica took a seat next to Sirius, Arabella next to Remus, and I sat next to James. We mostly talked, mixed in with Wizard Chess, Exploding Snap, or Gobstones. We finally arrived at Hogwarts, and exited the train. That whole 'four to a carriage' thing never bothered us. All seven of us climbed in. Arabella sat on Remus' lap, Monica on Sirius', and I on James'. We talked some more as we climbed the slope toward the front gate.

" Our last year at Hogwarts. " I sighed glumly, " I'll miss this castle. "

" Me too. " James agreed, resting his chin on my shoulder. I love it when he does that. I leaned back into him slightly, and unfortunately, we arrived so I wasn't able to enjoy that blissful moment much longer. We all headed into the Great Hall for the feast, sitting at the Gryffindor table. The boys all sat on one side of the table, and we (the girls) sat across from our respective crushes. After the sorting ceremony was over, and Professor McGonagall had removed the wooden stool, Headmaster Dumbledore tapped his glass to signal for quiet. The Great Hall was silent.

" Welcome to another year. For some, it is your first. " He glanced at various first years, " And for others, sadly, it is your last year. " His gaze shifted to us. " I am confident that you will all make wonderful witches and wizards. Now without further stalling, eat and drink your fill! " The table filled with food and drink, and we all piled our plates with delicious treats.

After the feast, we headed up to Gryffindor tower. Arabella, Lily, Monica, and The Marauders hung out in the common room chatting for a little while longer before deciding to go to bed. I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned inside my curtains. I was plagued with thoughts of Lily and - you guessed it - those damn boots. I got up and headed down to the common room. I figured some relaxation in front of the fire might make me tired. But when I arrived at the foot of the stairs, there was already someone sitting on one of the couches. She had flaming red hair, and bright green eyes.

" Lily? " I asked. She turned around and smiled. " Couldn't sleep? " I guessed. She nodded. I went over and sat next to her, leaning back against the soft cushions. Lily sighed and shifted, lying back with her head in my lap.

" What're you thinking about? " I asked.

" This is the last year I'm going to sleep in this castle. Eat in the castle, take a test here, sit on a couch here, watch a Quidditch game here. Hogwarts is my home. " Lily confessed, a single tear running down her cheek. I wiped it away and ran my hand through her hair. I love her silky hair, I love her blood red lips, I love her sexy combat boots, I love her. Everything about her. Apparently my hands had there own plans. My thumb gently traced her jaw line. She closed her eyes and moaned softly. I ran a hand down her neck, along her collarbone, over her shoulder, and to her hand. I interlaced our fingers and traced circles over the back of her head with my finger.

" I know. I'm going to miss it too. " That was when I realized her breathing had become even - she was asleep. I wondered if I should take her upstairs. I didn't want to wake her. So I gently slid her up so she was lying on my chest and leaned more comfortably into the couch. I conjured my winter cloak from my room and laid it over us. It was the most peaceful feeling in the world. Lily's head on my shoulder, I could feel her breathing on my neck. I smiled and feel into a blissful sleep.

I, always being an early riser, woke at 7 o'clock the following morning, despite the fact that it was a Saturday. I opened my eyes and blinked away the remaining sleep. I glanced down, expecting to see my red and gold Gryffindor blanket covering me. That, however, was not what I found. It was a thick black cloak that was lying atop me. I looked around to find I was not in my dormitory at all. It was the common room, and I was lying on the coach in front of the fire.

Also, I realized, there was an arm wrapped loosely around my waist. I looked up to see none other than James Potter beneath me! 'Sweet Merlin!' I thought. I am lying on top of James Potter! I wondered what I should do about this situation. I vaguely remembered what happened the night before, and figured James didn't want to wake me, so we just slept on the couch. He was so sweet, and personally, I could have stayed in that position forever. But, this would make a strange scene for the rest of Gryffindor, so I decided the best thing to do was wake him.

" James? " I whispered hesitantly. No response. I reached down and gently shook the arm wrapped around my waist. " James! " I said a bit more loudly. He slowly opened his eyes and looked down at me. His eyes widened, before he smiled that adorable lopsided grin.

" Morning. " he greeted. I smiled.

" Morning. " I responded. There was no way I could have been happier. I snuggled into his chest. His arm tightened around my waist.

" Did you sleep well? " he asked. I nodded.

" Like a baby. And I never want to move. "

" Me neither. " he agreed. I sighed.

" But we have to. This would make for quite an interesting scene for the rest of Gryffindor when they wake up. " I announced.

" Yeah. " James said glumly. His arm slipped away from it's hold on my waist and I regretfully got up, gathering his cloak in my arms. He got up and took his offered cloak.

" Well, we should probably get back to our dorms then. " I suggested. He nodded.

" I'll see you later. " he said, turning to head up the boys staircase. I then went up to my own dormitory to take a shower and get dressed.

Later that morning, I was sitting in the common room doing some homework when Arabella and Monica finally came down.

" Are the boys up yet? " Arabella asked.

" Nope, they haven't come down yet. " I informed them, glancing at the clock. It was 8:30 already. " Well I'm going to get them. " I set down my books and headed up the boys staircase.

" Guys! " I called, knocking on the door of the 7th year boys dorm.

" Bugger off! " Sirius' sleepy voice came from inside.

" You're going the right way for a slap in the face Sirius Black! " I responded, " We've got to go down for breakfast! " There was some shuffling inside, before the door opened to reveal James. He had obviously gone back to sleep after I woke him earlier.

" Good morning sunshine! " Lily smiled, walking past me, and into our dorm. She grabbed my pillow from my now empty bed and headed towards Sirius'. She pulled back the curtain and let the pillow come down hard on Sirius' head.

" What the hell?! " Sirius leapt from the bed, glaring at her. Lily gave him a sugar-coated smile and tossed my pillow back onto my bed.

" We expect you down in 5 minutes boys. " She turned and exited the dorm.

" Bloody menace she is. " Sirius grumbled after Lily had left our room. I laughed.

" You've got to love her. " I admitted aloud.

" He's right, you know. " Remus agreed, emerging from the bathroom. We all got up in record time, appearing in the common room 2 minutes before it was required. Arabella, Monica, and Lily were waiting for us. Then, we all headed down to breakfast.

I couldn't help myself. I couldn't forget the feeling of his arms wrapped around me. I just wished I was back on that couch with him and that I could stay there forever. As hard a I tried, I couldn't tear my eyes away from those sapphire pools. My food missed my mouth several times over breakfast.

A few times he almost caught me, and once our eyes locked, but we both looked away quickly. But I saw something in his eyes. An emotion I couldn't place. After breakfast, we all sat by the lake and talked for a while.

" I love the weekend. " Monica sighed. Arabella rolled her eyes.

" Of course you do! Everybody does! We don't have classes! " she laughed.

" I'm bored. " Sirius complained.

" Well think of something to do then. " Remus suggested.

" I've got it! " Sirius announced a few minutes later.

" What? " Monica asked.

" Lily, why don't we play that muggle game you told me about that time. " he said.

" What game? " I tried to think of what he was talking about. Then it hit me. " No Sirius! That is not a good idea! "

" What game? " Arabella wanted to know. " Lily? " I sighed.

" Truth or Dare. " I moaned. Remus, being half-muggle, smiled.

" I think that's a good idea Sirius. " he agreed.

" How do you play? " James asked. Remus briefly explained the rules, and James looked doubtful. I didn't want to play. Who knows what kind of secrets could come out.

" Who wants to go first then? " Arabella asked.

" Not me. " I informed them. Sirius grinned evilly.

" Lily, truth or dare. " I glared at him.

" Truth. " I hoped that was the safest choice. Sirius pondered this for a moment, then whispered something to Remus, who stifled a laugh and nodded.

" Lily, what's your bra size? " Sirius asked. I couldn't help it, I laughed. So did Arabella and Monica, though they turned them into coughs and began to find the grass very interesting. Lily was just sitting there with her mouth hanging open.

" You can't be serious! " she exclaimed.

" Yes I am! You're Lily, he's James, and I'm Sirius! " Sirius smiled.

" You are horrible. " Lily told him, " And perverse! "

" So what? You've still got to answer the question. " Sirius crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. Lily sighed and fell back onto the grass, rubbing her temples in frustration. She cleared her throat and mumbled something.

" What was that? " Sirius asked. Lily mumbled something else. " Still can't hear you. " Lily sat up and if looks could kill, Sirius would be gone in a second.

" 32C you disgusting, pathetic excuse for human being. " Lily announced.

" That wasn't so hard, now was it? " Sirius asked.

" Sod off. "

" Your turn Lily. " Arabella said. Lily though hard for a moment.

" Remus, truth or dare. " Remus raised an eyebrow.

" Dare. " Lily glanced at Arabella.

" Kiss Arabella. " Remus choked.

" What? " he asked, obviously hoping he was imagining things. Sirius and I were grinning at each other.

" You heard her Moony. " I said, " Kiss Arabella. " Arabella glared at Lily, then turned to stare at Remus.

" Wh-Wh-I-Ca-Do I have to? " Remus stuttered. Lily nodded. Remus looked at Arabella, though avoiding her eyes.

" D'you mind? " he asked. Arabella gulped.

" I suppose not. " she said. Remus moved to sit next to her, staring at the grass.

I wanted to die. It's one thing to secretly like someone and fantasize about kissing them, but it's an entirely different situation to actually kiss them. Arabella leaned closer to whisper in my ear.

" It's best to just get it over with. Then everyone can just move on. " she said. I nodded, looking into her eyes. We leaned closer to each other. Our lips touched. Holy Merlin, I swear there were fireworks. I saw freaking stars. I made a mental note to thank Lily later.

Arabella and Remus finally broke apart, five minutes later. They were both very red and very out of breath.

" So Remus, I believe it's your turn. " Sirius said, " If you've got enough energy for it that is. " Remus cleared his throat.

" Sirius, truth or dare? "

" Truth. " Remus thought. Then he smiled evilly and I had a feeling he had a way of getting revenge for that last comment.

" Who did you loose your virginity to? " Remus asked, It was only the second time in my entire life I had seen Sirius blush. The other time involved Professor McGonagall, a towel, and the Quidditch locker room. I knew the answer to this question. Sirius was known as the Gryffindor sex god and he didn't want people to know this fact about him. Remus and Peter knew as well, and I knew Sirius would seriously injure Remus later.

" I hate you. " Sirius looked liked he was about to cry.

" Answer the question Sirius. " Remus told him.

" I haven't you stupid prick. " Sirius said, hanging his head and remaining silent.

" No, really? Oh my god! " Arabella exclaimed. Her and Lily shrieked and giggled, holding onto each other for support.

" Okay, come on guys, leave him alone. " I actually felt sympathy for him.

" What about you James? " Arabella grinned.

" I'm not telling you! " I said.

" Anyway, moving on. Sirius, it's your turn again. " Monica said.

" Fine, Lily, truth or dare. "

" Why do you always pick me? No questions involving knickers or inappropriate body parts. " Lily warned.

" Okay fine. Out of me, Remus, or James, who would you rather shag? " Arabella snorted. Lily rolled her eyes.

" You all have serious mental problems. " Lily said, " You just want me to pick you. "

" Just answer the question. " Sirius whined.

" I will answer the question. " Lily agreed, " But after I do, I'm going to my room and none of you will ever ask me why I chose the answer I did. " She stood up, preparing to go back to her dormitory.

" So tell us already! " Remus begged.

" James. " She then turned around and walked back towards the castle. I just stared after her, my mouth hanging open.

" Why'd she pick me? " I asked.

" I don't know. " Monica was obviously as confused as the rest of us.

" Well I'm going to find out. " Arabella announced, getting up and walking towards Lily. Monica followed soon after. Remus, Sirius, and I decided to go back to the common room about fifteen minutes later.

-------------------------------------------

A/N: I hope everybody enjoyed this chapter. Sorry if you found the truth or dare game a little irrelevant, but I always tend to put them in there because it's a great way for people to find out other like them. Anyway, the next chapter will hopefully be out soon.
Please review and let me know what you think!

I was going to find out what the hell that was about.

" Arabella! " I called, running after her. She turned around and waited until I caught up.

" You wondering what that was as well? " Arabella asked. I nodded. Together we hurried to the common room and up to our dormitory. Lily was sitting in a large, cushy armchair with her eyes closed.

" Lily? " I asked hesitantly. She opened one eye, then both eyes, then sighed.

" What? "

" Well, I mean, we were just wondering something? " I tried. She rose an eyebrow.

" What? "

" D'you fancy James? " Arabella blurted out. I jabbed her in the ribs before turning back to Lily. She didn't look mad, just frustrated, and deep in thought.

" I suppose you would have found out sooner or later. " she said finally. Arabella shrieked.

" So you do fancy him then? " I clarified. Lily nodded. Arabella and I grinned.

" For how long? " Arabella wanted to know.

" Fifth year. " Lily said.

" That long? " I asked. She smiled and nodded again.

" But now that that's cleared up, it's time for some more confessions. " Lily grinned maliciously.

" What d'you mean? " Arabella asked.

" Is Remus a good kisser? " I choked. Arabella turned scarlet.

" Thought so. " Lily smirked, " I knew you had a thing for him. You should thank me for that wonderful opportunity. Might have started something. " She winked.

" You think? " Arabella beamed.

" So what about you? " Lily asked, turning to me. I avoided her eyes and studied the ceiling. I debated whether or not to tell her about my certain crush on a certain dark-haired sex (or rather virgin now) god. I couldn't help thinking how nice it would be to deflower the devilish, the sexy, the one-and-only Sirius Black. I guess I must have been smiling about my naughty thoughts without realizing it, because Lily caught on.

" I knew it! It's Sirius isn't it? " Lily said. How did she know that? Am I that obvious?

" Maybe. " I said quickly, returning to gaze at my old friend the ceiling.

" Do you really? " Arabella asked. I sighed.

" Yes. " I confessed quietly.

" If that game had gone on longer, I would have gotten a kiss for you too! " Lily said sympathetically. I smiled.

" You forget, I can have any man I want. That includes Sirius Black. " I boasted.

" So, do you mean have, or ... have? " Lily licked her lips suggestively. I laughed.

" Strange, I was just thinking about that actually. "

" What?! " Lily was obviously joking.

" Just think. " I dreamed aloud, " The virginity of the delicious and desirable Sirius Black is taken by Hogwarts most desirable Monica Lawrence. " Lily snorted and Arabella just stared at me as if I was insane. I continued.

" It will be a Daily Prophet headline. " I sighed.

" You have way to much sexual energy that is screaming to come out, that's for sure. " Lily giggled.

" I just feel like going downstairs and jumping him right now. " Merlin that would be fun.

" So why don't you? " Lily shrugged.

" What?! "

" Why don't you go downstairs and jump him? I think he likes you too. "

" Are you serious? "

" Dead. "

" Well maybe I will. "

" You will. "

" Fine, I will. "

" Okay then. "

I stood up. So did Lily and Arabella.

" Where are you two going? " I asked. They stared at me as if I had grown another head.

" You think we're going to miss you jumping Sirius Black? Are you insane? " Arabella questioned.

" I still can't believe you made me tell them that! You're supposed to be the nice one! " I complained to Remus as we were sitting in the common room after coming in from the lake.

" It was worth it just to see your face. " Remus laughed.

" It was. " James admitted.

" I really never understood why you're still a virgin. " Remus admitted. I shrugged.

" Just waiting for the right girl I guess. " James coughed, and it sounded suspiciously like ' Monica '.

" Bugger off! " I shoved him. He just laughed. At that moment Arabella, Lily, and Monica came down the stairwell. I was still wondering about the whole Lily wanting to shag James thing, but I was content with just staring at Monica. At perfection.

Arabella and Lily were staring at Monica expectantly. Monica took a deep breath and walked over to the armchair I was sitting in. I looked at her curiously. She just stared back into my eyes before jumping into my lap and roughly pressing her lips to mine. I can do rough. I kissed her back, snaking my arms around her waist. She shifted so she was straddling me, one of her legs on either side of my body. I was seriously wondering if this was a dream. It was total bliss. Her warm lips against mine, her delicate hands wrapped around my next, her body grinding into mine.

One of your best friend's jumping another is not something you witness everyday. There were Monica and Sirius, groping each other in the middle of the common room. Me and Remus looked totally shocked, while Lily and Arabella were just smiling. It has to be one of the strangest events I've ever witnessed. But apparently, this situation wasn't odd enough.

Monica broke away from Sirius' lips long enough to whisper something in his ear. The look in his eyes gave me the impression he had died and gone to heaven. Monica climbed off him and ran up the boys staircase, Sirius close behind. My mouth fell open. No freaking way were they going to do what I thought they were going to do. Holy Merlin.

" Oh my god! " Lily shrieked, hopping up and down excitedly.

I had just noticed that Arabella was talking to Sirius near the portrait hole, and a few moments later they headed out together. Well here I am, alone with Lily. This was a little awkward. I mean, she'd rather shag me than Sirius or Remus. That's gotta mean something, doesn't it?

Well, here I am. Alone. With James. Well this is a tad strange. Arabella is off making out with Remus and Monica is, well, I think it's pretty clear what they're doing up there.

" So ... " I began.

" Yeah. " James responded.

" Well this is odd. " I stifled a laugh. James smiled that gorgeous lopsided grin.

" A little, yeah. " he admitted.

" So what do you want to do? " I asked. He shrugged.

" I was just curious, do you mind if I ask you something? "

" Sure. " I knew what was coming.

" Why'd you pick me? " That was predictable.

" I just did. "

" What kind of answer is that? "

" I don't know. "

" I have to tell you something. "

" What? "

" I'm glad you picked me. "

" Why? "

" I like you. "

" I like you too. "

" No, I mean, not just as a friend. " I stared at him. Was I imagining things? Did he really just say that? James Potter likes me, Lily Evans, as more than just a friend. I moved to sit next to him on the couch.

" That's why I picked you. " I admitted.

" What? "

" Because I like you as more than just a friend too. "

" Really? "

" Yeah. "

" Since when? "

" Fifth year. You came in after Quidditch practice one day and you were totally soaked and covered in mud. " I smiled, and I really didn't mean for this next part to come out, but it just did. " I've never seen anyone look sexier. " I gasped and slapped my hand over my mouth.

" Oops. " I smiled sheepishly. " That was supposed to be an unspoken thought. " He just smiled.

" That long? I've like you since last year. You were lying on a couch with a book propped on your lap. Your hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and it was falling into your eyes. " He got a kind of glassy look in his eyes. " You looked so gorgeous. " That has got to be the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. And before I knew what was happening, his lips were on mine. Not that I'm complaining. This went on for about fifteen minutes before we broke apart and sat together in front of the fire. Remus and Arabella came in and sat on another couch, Arabella lying on Remus' chest, neither asking any questions about what had happened between James and I. About an hour and a half after they had gone upstairs, Monica appeared at the foot of the stairs. Arabella and I looked at her expectantly. She grinned.

" Stand-by for headlines. " Monica announced. She winked before running back up the stairs for a repeat performance, no doubt.

> Chapter Five - Naked

-------------------------------------------

I wake up in the morning, put on my face
The one that's gonna get me through another day
Doesn't really matter how I feel inside
This life is like a game sometimes
Then you came around me
The walls just disappear
Nothing to surround me
And keep me from my fears
I'm unprotected, see how I've opened up
Oh, you've made me trust
'Cause I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked around you
And it feels so right

-Naked, Avril Lavigne

Lily and I were lying awake in our dormitory when Monica finally waltzed in, looking as though she had been crowned Witch of Britain. It was time for interrogation.

" I want details! " I shrieked, bouncing on my bed.

" Seriously! " Lily agreed. Monica smirked.

" How many people can say that not only have they lost their virginity to Sirius Black, but have taken his as well. " she looking wonderfully pleased with herself.

" I can't believe you jumped him, let alone whispered a sexual proposal in his ear. " I confessed.

" Well you got what you wanted, that's for sure. " Lily laughed.

" Just wondering when the rest of the school going to find out. " I though aloud.

" I'll bloody tell them myself! Girls will envy me even more than they already do. " Monica sighed dreamily.

" So what's it like? " Lily asked. I was quite curious myself. Monica shrugged.

" It's just ... bliss. As if you're in heaven. You never want to stop. I know I sure as hell didn't. " She grinned, " But after the fourth time, I did get a bit tired. "

" Four! " I pretended to be shocked, " That's all? " Lily's mouth dropped open, while Monica rolled her eyes. I giggled. " Calm down Lily, I was only joking! "

" You know, even though I like James and all, you do kind of wonder about every guy, so ... " Lily trailed off. Monica raised an eyebrow, a slight twitch tugged at the corners of her mouth, suggesting she knew exactly what Lily meant.

" You want to know how big Sirius Black is, right? Want to know if the rumors are true? " Monica suggested.

" Well who doesn't? " Lily laughed. Monica sighed.

" To tell or not to tell ... that is the question. " Monica smirked, " Let's just put it this way. " We leaned forward. She leaned closer to us and said in a low voice;

" The real thing puts the rumors to shame. " She leaned back, an impish grin plastered on her angelic face. Lily and I burst into giggles.

" I knew it! " I cried.

" You both do realize what this means don't you? " Monica smiled evilly. We raised our eyebrows. " You both have to tell me all about James and Remus when you finally shag them, which you undoubtedly will. " Lily and I blushed. Hadn't thought of that.

" They've got some huge competition. " Monica laughed.

After that we decided to go to bed. I laid awake wondering what exactly James and I were. Friends who made out? Boyfriend and girlfriend? We hadn't clearly established it.

I couldn't help thinking about what Monica had said. Would I eventually loose my virginity to James?

I smiled.

I couldn't think of a better option.

The next morning, the relationship between James and I was clearly established. The three of us decided to wake our men up so they wouldn't miss the beautiful Sunday morning we were having. We marched up to their dormitory, unlocked the door, and trooped in. We went to our respective beds and I(I'm not sure what Monica and Arabella did, as I was preoccupied) bent down and touched my lips to James' neck, sucking gently. He smiled in his sleep and yawned, his eyes still closed.

" Mmm ... Lily, don't stop. " he whined. I stifled a laugh. He was dreaming. About me. I complied, and licked up his neck, over his jaw line, and nibbled gently on his ear. He has very good reflexes in his sleep. Must be the Quidditch. Anyway, he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me on top of him. So here I was, lying on top of James, who was asleep, dreaming about me.

" Mmm ... baby, you're good at that. " he murmured. I smiled. His hands began to move up and took my shirt with them. Why not? I closed his curtains and took my shirt the rest of the way off. Now, calm down, I'm not going to sleep with him right here! I'm just going to tease him. What teenage boy doesn't want to wake up with a topless girl on top of him? Exactly. I leaned down and pressed my lips over his, moving my hands under his shirt and over his tight muscles. Jackpot! He's got a six-pack. Thank Merlin for Quidditch.

" James. " I whispered in his mouth.

" Hmm? " he replied.

" Wake up baby. " His eyes shot open. He was looking at me with pupils the size of saucers.

" Oh my god. " James gasped, " What the hell is going on? " I laughed, sitting up on top of him, still shirtless. If possible, his eyes widened even more.

" Did we ... I mean ... I think I would have remembered that. " he tried. I smiled.

" No. I just came to wake you up. Having a dream about me were you? " He blushed and nodded. " Was it a naughty dream? " I asked. He grabbed my hips and pulled me down again, his face inches from mine.

" The naughtiest. You think you should punish me? "

" Maybe I should. " I bent down so our lips were only a centimeter apart. I closed my eyes and gave him soft butterfly kisses on his eyelids. He moaned. I found out why a moment later when I felt something hard pressing into my stomach. Turns out most of The Marauders are very big boys indeed. I smiled, I was going to do something very cruel. I roughly pressed my lips to his, only to pull away a few seconds later. I pulled my shirt on and climbed off of him.

" I'd suggest a cold shower. " I advised, exiting his bed. Monica and Arabella were already sitting in armchairs, waiting for the boys to get out of the bathroom.

" Lily! " James pleaded, " You can't do this to me! " I poked my head back through the curtain.

" And why not? " I asked.

" You could permanently damage my equipment! " he complained.

" Lily Evans! How dare you cause injury to any of The Marauders huge - I mean, precious - equipment! " Monica cried, sounding very offended indeed, from the other side of the room.

" Sorry love. " I apologized, kissing him briefly on the lips and brushing my hand over his sensitive spot, He choked. I grinned evilly. I went over to sit in another armchair near Arabella and Monica.

" Sirius has definitely got competition. " I informed them.

" Well you better get a move on Arabella! We can't choose a fair winner without knowing Remus' - " Monica was interrupted.

" Remus' what exactly? " Remus was leaning against the bathroom doorframe. Arabella blushed scarlet.

" Nothing. " she said quickly. He raised an eyebrow.

" Sure love. " He walked over behind Arabella and kissed her neck.

" Just remember ladies ... I'm the wolf. " Remus grinned devilishly before exiting and going down to the common room. Arabella was breathing rapidly.

" You okay Bella? " I asked, smiling. She gulped and nodded.

" He's right you know. He is the wolf. " Monica winked.

" Too bad for you guys really. " Arabella said casually, examining her nails.

" And why is that? " I asked.

" I'm the one that gets to bed the wolf. " she grinned before sprinting downstairs to join Remus.

" Well I wouldn't say we're entirely out of luck. " Monica said. I nodded in agreement.

" Shall we? " Sirius and James had just emerged from the bathroom. We took there arms and went down to meet Arabella and Remus, then headed off for breakfast.

Breakfast was eventful. Lucius, the jerk-off, did bother us for a bit. Accompanied of course, by his menacing groupie Snape. Lily called them poofs and told them to go about their business of shagging each other. Professor McGonagall told them to move along, thankfully, as Malfoy looked as he was about to cast an Unforgivable Curse on me.

Hogwarts didn't make much of a fuss about our recent pairings, as they all seemed under the impression we were going out anyway. Snape looked like he was going to cry when he first found out. He's always liked Lily. Too bad for him she's all mine.

The rest of the day we spent in pairs. Making out. Monica and Sirius in the boys dorm, Arabella and Remus in an undisclosed location, and Lily and I in the girls dorm.

We were in Lily's bed, her on top of me. I unbuttoned her blouse and slid it off her shoulders. She pulled my shirt over my head and unbuckled my belt. I stopped.

" Lily, are you sure we should do this? " I asked. Not a very guy thing to say, I know, but I don't want her to regret it later!

" Positive. " she smiled, pulling off my belt. I unzipped her denim skirt and pulled it off her hips. Pretty soon I was only in boxers, and she was only in her bra and knickers. I moved my hand behind her back and unsnapped it. She pulled back and let it fall off her body. I smiled and moved in to explore uncharted territory.

In the meantime, she had slipped my boxers off and onto the floor, then took off her own. We were both completely starkers. She positioned herself over me, leaning down to kiss me. I slid my arms around her waist and rocked gently. The only sign of my entrance was a slight gasp from Lily that was masked with my mouth. This went on for about thirty minutes, then we rested. Then again, again, again, again, and finally we couldn't go anymore.

" Five. " I said smugly. Monica, Arabella, and I were up in our dormitory that evening and I was discussing the events of that day. Monica scowled.

" Fine! You beat me. " she smiled suddenly, " Going to break the record Arabella? " Arabella choked and blushed.

" Maybe. " she smiled, " We'll see ... " Pause. " Soon. " Monica and I raised our eyebrows, but didn't say anything. We all fell asleep, peacefully dreaming of that wonderful day, and events to come.

The months passed swiftly and it was Christmas before we knew it! I awoke to a warm presence beside me. I opened one eye and glanced up. I was lying in the arms of a very cute Quidditch captain with messy black hair. I nuzzled into his neck and he stirred slightly.

" Morning love. " he kissed the top of my head.

" Merry Christmas. " I hopped up and hurried to the foot of James' bed to open my presents. James soon joined me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into his lap. I giggled and grabbed a gift.

" This one is from ... " I paused, checking the tag, " My mum and dad. " I ripped it open and extracted a beautifully embroidered cloak. It was royal purple with an intricate silver clasp.

" It'll look good with your hair. " James commented. I rewarded him with a kiss before grabbing another gift.

" From Remus. " It was a new chess set. I love chess, and this was a beautiful set. The pieces were made out of flawless black and white ivory.

" Like it? " I turned around to see Remus. I smiled before jumping up to hug him.

" I love it! Thank you so much. "

" You are very welcome. " I also received a sculpture of a fairy from Monica and a photo album filled with pictures of James and I from Arabella. Sirius' present was one of the best though. Black combat boots with orange flames licking at the toe. I got some others from various schoolmates before opening James'. It was a stunning necklace. A shimmering sapphire on a pure silver chain.

" I love it! Thank you so much baby. " I wrapped my arms around his neck and together we toppled to the floor, me on top of him.

" Honestly! Get a room. " Sirius complained, emerging from the bathroom. I stuck my tongue out at him before thanking him for my fabulous boots.

Christmas was the best. I received a box of joke stuff from Sirius, an assortment of Quidditch supplies from Remus, Gobstones from Peter, a duplicate copy of Lily's photo album from Arabella, a winter cloak from Monica, and something called a CD player from Lily. And since Sirius got her those new boots, guess who got her old ones? They're finally mine! Merlin, I love those boots.

We all spent the days of Christmas break lounging in the common room, chatting by the lake, or roaming Hogwarts many secret passages. When school started again, nothing really changed. Lily and I were still together. So were Arabella and Remus. So were Sirius and Monica. Malfoy was still an idiot and Snape was still a prat.

It was two months until graduation. Everything was still the same. Lily's eighteenth birthday was a week away. I was giving her the best gift I could think of. All I could do was hope she'd say yes.

The days ticked by. Monday ... Tuesday ... Wednesday ... Thursday ... Friday finally came. Everything was set. Lily would arrive by the lakeside at nine o'clock. I waited.

If you look at her, she looks at me

She's got me thinking about her constantly

But she don't know how I feel

And when she carries on without a doubt

I wonder if she's figured out

I'm crazy for this girl

Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl

She was the one to hold me

The night the sky fell down

And what was I thinking when

The world didn't end

Why didn't I know what I know now

I was very curious as to what James had planned for my birthday. I was finally eighteen and I had a feeling it was going to be something I'd never forget. I was to meet James at nine o'clock. It was an hour before, and I was getting ready with Monica and Arabella.

" You look fantastic! " Monica gushed.

" Here, put on these shoes. " Arabella instructed, handing me some navy blue heels. I took them and slipped them on. I was wearing a knee-length, sleeveless navy blue dress. After my makeup was done and my hair was up, I headed down the dormitory stairs. Sirius and Remus were there as well. They whistled as I passed. I smiled and winked before heading out to the lakeside.

James was already waiting, sitting on a blanket underneath a willow tree. There were candles set all around it and a light dinner was set. He sat down across from me and we chatted lightly during dinner, before cuddling up against the trunk of the tree.

" Lily. " he whispered.

" What? " I responded.

" I love you. " I smiled.

" I love you too. " I rewarded him with a kiss.

" I want to spend the rest of my life with you. " My eyes widened. I sat up and looked at him.

" What do you mean? "

" I mean what I said. I love you with all my heart and I want to marry you and have children with you and spend every waking moment with you until the day I die. " I didn't say anything. I just kissed him. I felt him shifting around in his pocket. When we broke apart I looked down at his hand and smiled. In it was a small velvet box.

I opened the box to reveal a flawless diamond set in gold.

" Lily Evans. " I stared deep into her emerald pools, " Will you marry me? "

" Yes! " she shrieked throwing herself on top of me. I smiled and gratefully joined in, only pausing halfway through to slip the ring onto her delicate finger. We stayed by the lake until four o'clock in the morning, when we snuck back into the castle under the safety of my invisibility cloak.

" I can't believe you didn't tell us! " Sirius complained later that day. " We're your best friends, and you didn't tell us you were going to propose! "

" Shut up Sirius, you know now. " Remus rolled his eyes.

" Yeah, but I mean ... " Sirius trailed off.

" God Sirius, I promise I'll never keep anything from you again if you're going to whine like a little girl. " I rolled my eyes. Remus snorted.

" So what's the plan for you guys after graduation? " Remus asked.

" We're going to get a flat together and get married sometime towards the end of this year. " I explained.

" So are Arabella and I. " Remus nodded, " Minus the marriage bit. "

" Ditto for me and Monica. " Sirius agreed.

" Yeah, we're going start looking for a place next month. " I informed Arabella and Monica.

" It's so romantic. " Arabella sighed dreamily. I laughed. But as I thought about it, I realized it really was like a fairy tale.

Come stop your crying and you'll be alright

Just take my hand, hold it tight

I will protect you from all around you

I will be here, don't you cry

For one so small, you seem so strong

My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm

This bond between us can't be broken

I will be here, don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on, now and forevermore

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand the way we feel?

They just don't trust what they can't explain

I know we're different but deep inside us

We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on, now and forevermore

Don't listen to them, 'cause what do they know?

We need each other, to have, to hold

They'll see in time, I know

When destiny calls you, you must be strong

I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on

They'll see in time, I know

We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Believe me, you'll be in my heart

I'll be there, from this day on, now and forevermore

Oh, you'll be in my heart

You'll be here in my heart

No matter what the say

I'll be with you, be here in my heart

I'll be there, always

Always, I'll be with you

I'll be there for you always

Always and always

Just look over your shoulder

Just look over your shoulder

Just look over your shoulder

I'll be there, always

It was May, the last month of school. Graduation was less than two weeks away, Lily and I were househunting.

" Look at this place. " Lily said as we sat in The Three Broomsticks. We had just looked for a place in Hogsmeade, and found nothing. I followed Lily's finger to the picture in the Wizarding Real Estate Catalog we were looking at.

" I like it. We'll check it out next. " I told her. She smiled and began to browse the description of the house.

After we finished our butterbeers, we went outside and apparated. Luckily, we had gotten our apparating licenses the previous week.

" Here it is. " Lily informed me, turning down the cobblestone walkway to the door. Just as we reached the front porch, a cheerful looking witch appeared on the steps.

" Would you like a tour? " she inquired.

" Yes, thank you. " Lily replied. The witch informed us that her name was MacKenzie Stormcrow. We both loved the house the moment we stepped inside. I informed Ms. Stormcrow that we would purchase the house and move in the following month. Lily continued to explore while I filled out the paperwork. One hour after arriving, Lily and I owned #27, Godric's Hollow.

I love the house! It was perfect. And quite spacious as well. James and I spent the rest of the day telling our friends about it. They were, of course, overjoyed for us.

The next two weeks passed in a blur of studying the next week and of excitement the last. It was graduation day and the Great Hall simply outdid itself. The head table had been removed and in it's place stood floating white bleachers, and rows of seating replaced the house tables. The students had donned the appropriate dress robes; Gryffindor in scarlet, Slytherin forest green, Ravenclaw royal blue, and Hufflepuff smokey grey.

Proud parents and relatives filled the rows of seats, and students were arranged in alphabetical order on the stage. Sirius was the first of the Marauders and their better halves to get his graduation scroll. Then me, Arabella, Monica, Remus, and James.

Afterwards the hall was transformed yet again, the head table reappeared and the rows disappeared. In their place round tables were placed at the sides of the hall, leaving the floor open for dancing, which we also did quite a lot of. Our parents were also sitting with us, bragging about us. Honestly, don't they do anything else? Apparently not.

After graduation, James and I fell asleep in his bed. No, nothing naughty happened, just cuddling.

I woke up with Lily in my arms. Doesn't get much better than that, does it? We all went down for breakfast, then headed back up to Gryffindor tower to do last minute packing. At noon, we boarded the Hogwarts Express for the last time.

We said goodbye to all our friends when we reached King's Cross Station, promising to owl. The Lily and I passed through the barrier of Platform 9 3/4 for the last time until we went through with our own children.

We were both excited about the wedding that was less than 3 months away. When we would forever be bound to each other, hearts and souls for the rest of our lives. And so we apparated to #27, Godric's Hollow to live happily ever after. Or so we thought.

*The End*
