A/n: SO sorry I never posted for a LONG time, but my computer broke!!!
Over the next week, James and Lily spent their time alone, avoiding most people, theorizing how Peter got himself into that mess.
"Maybe they threatened him." Lily suggested, doodling on her Charms essay.
"Don't do that love, you might mess up your essay," James said, stopping her hand. "They must've because Peter wouldn't just sacrifice himself to join the Death Eaters like that."
Lily shrugged and popped a handful of jellybeans into her mouth.
"Maybe `e was pressured." She mumbled, jellybeans spilling down the front of her shirt. She lazily flicked her wand and cleaned it up. "Maybe they tricked `im."
"Are you tired?" James asked worriedly.
She nodded.
"Haven't been getting much sleep lately." She said, yawning.
"Why don't we go take a nap in the head's lounge?" He offered. "I haven't gotten much sleep lately, either."
"Why do you do that?" She asked.
"Do what?" He asked obliviously.
"Find time for us, even in the worst circumstances." She replied, wrapping her arms around his neck.
He leaned in and their lips connected like magnets.
"Because I love you and I want this to work."
She smiled.
"Let's go take that nap." She said, dragging him to the Head's lounge.
Later that evening, Lily came up with the best idea.
That evening, Lily, James, Lauren, Remus, Rebecca, Sirius and Peter were going to be studying in the Head's lounge.
Lily decided to sneak into the 7th year boy's dorm and cut the sleeves off of all Peter's shirts, coats and robes.
When the time came to study, Peter was wearing a short sleeve shirt with socks on his arms.
"Wormtail, why in the hell do you have socks on your arms?" Sirius asked, grabbing Peter's arm.
Peter tugged his arm away nervously.
"I couldn't find a coat and I'm freezing."
"Peter, it must be a hundred and fifty degrees in here, with the fireplace!" Lauren cried. "Now don't be ridiculous. Take them off."
Sirius grabbed Peter and held him down.
"STOP!" Peter screamed.
"C'mon, Wormtail." Remus said jokingly. "It's not like you have the dark mark."
With that, Sirius tugged the socks off Peter's arms, revealing the dark mark.
A/N: Bum bum bum!
I know it's a cliffhanger but I HAVE to get some sleep!
Sorry I didn't post for a really long time, but I was on vacation for two weeks, then my computer crashed, then I had writer's block, then school started up and I never got around until now.
