Marauder crack

A girl in enemies territory

Spring. Lily accompanies Remus to the guy's common room to help him get downstairs some books from the library. It's the first time she goes up and Remus shows her the gramophone he got in Hogsmeade and an Ella Fitzgerald record that she unwraps with studied bows and squeaks slightly, as it begins to spin and fill the room of the spirit of white magic. Lily pries a bit. There is a broom on one of the beds. Pretends to be really interested in the broom and not the bed.

- That's not James's, it's Sirius's.

- Why would I care?

Remus narrows his eyes.

- Please, Lily.

They lie on Remus's bed and listen to Ella's whole record, song by song, with all of their soul. Lily lies on her side and puts her head on his arm. When he laughs, Remus's whole body vibrates. They talk about the exams, the teachers and their hobbies, the seasons of the year at Hogwarts, which one of the Beatles is the most handsome, which one of the marauders is the cockier, and above all, they talk about how wonderful and easy would be all if...

- You liked me and I liked you, Remus.

- Oh I dunno believe it, your children would have a huuuuge nose. Could you live with it?

They leave in the middle of the afternoon, leaving the bed wrinkled, with redhead tufts on the pillow and Lily's perfume in the room. The interrogation would be unavoidable anyway, but even more so, when going down the stairs, they meet Sirius and James, with wet hair from the showers and an expression of astonishment contained in his eyes.

James.

- What are you doing up there? Both of you?

Sirius.

- You wish you didn't get into my stuff!

Lily ignores them. She kissed Remus on the cheek before fleeing away.

- See you later, Remus.

And hardly anyone else looks.

- Later, James. - Before they return the greeting or replies, says goodbye to Sirius with a laconic "Black" that he returns with a terse "Evans".

After the initial shock, James slightly loses his temper.

- What the hell have you two been doing up there!- Sirius doesn't have time to keep on talking.

- One, we've been listening to music. Two, we're just friends and three: no, Sirius, we have not searched between your things and your marijuana is still exactly where it was.
