I'm kill to kill Sirius if I do not get out of this compartment. "How much longer till we reach kings cross?" I asked everyone. "Uh I think about 2 hours, love." James said in my ear as all the attention is on Remus and Sirius.

"Were their any compartments empty?" I asked turning to face him. "Yes the one on the other side of this one." James said and I whispered in his ear, "Meet me their in 5 minutes." And then I stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom, if I'm not back soon then there's a line." I said and Remus simply yelled at Sirius more. I walked out and opened the cabin that shared a wall with our compartment. It was small and the seats were cracked- probably why no one had been here so I sat on seat and waited for James.

I looked out the window as we went though a tunnel and I heard the door open and shut. "Blimey if they don't end up screwing then their gonna rip reach others heads off." James said and sat next to me, putting his arm around my waist as I turned to face him.

"Hello, love." He said looking down at me, centimeters away from my face. He put his middle and index fingers under my chin and pulled me into a soft kiss. I moved my hand to his as he kissed me and all my worries just melted away. I pulled away and said, "Hello Darling." And he smiled at me.

"It's killing me that I can't touch you whenever I want to." James said and before the words came out of my mouth he stopped me, "You aren't a rebound and you aren't Lily's replacement. You are yourself and that is so much more then what I could ask for. Ranger, the only thing I can tell you is that I don't have feelings for Lily. Not anymore." James said and pulled me closer to him.

"I know that, darling." I said to him, and he made a confused face. "I don't want people knowing for the simple reason that's what they would think, my reputation is all I have and to give it power that can be used against me is horrible so not now. But one day in the great hall you will be able to strut towards me, pick me up by the waist and kiss me like the world is ending." I said with my hand on his cheek.

"But not now. I can deal with that, love." James said and kissed my forehead before I kissed his lips. They were so soft and it was like leaving reality and then I pulled away. "Why are you the one who always pulls away?" James asked with his eyes still closed.

"Because we can't make out without losing track of time so I'm going back to the compartment, darling." I said and he pulled my hand back. "Love." He said with his hand around my neck. "Yes?"  I responded. "Everytime I say 'blimey' just know I mean I love you." He said and then I kissed his cheek before walking out.

"-they've been gone so long they could be fuc- oh hi Ranger." I heard Sirius said. "He thought you and James were fucking." Peter said. "Where is Prongs?" I asked and sat down next to Remus. "Give me the money, you were so wrong if she had to ask that."  Remus said and leaned towards Sirius who planted 10 galleons in his palm.

James then came bursting into the compartment buttoning his shirt, "Blimey, those hufflepuffs are very friendly." James said sitting next to me. It's just an act he was with you the whole time. "Sirius thought that you and Ranger were getting it on." Peter said.

"Blimey, Pads. What would make you think I'd sleep with Ranger?" The fact you did in the locker room and how we almost did again yesterday. "The fact you dream about it every night." Sirius said. "Pardon, what?" I said and Sirius turned to look at me. His eyes went wide. "Uhh, James may or may not have had dreams about doing you since 5th year." Sirius sand and Remus banged his head into the window.

"We'll be at the station in a few minutes." Peter said and James turned a bright red, "Blimey, for Merlin's sake Sirius c'mon sell me out." James said and I then looked at my feet. How do I make this better?

"I'm sure we've all had dreams about each other from time to time." I said and this had the opposite effect. "You've dreamt about us?" Sirius asked. "Not about you. And Peter if you look at me like that again I'll skin you." I said. "So you've dreamed about Mooney and Prongs?" Sirius asked and they looked at me. "Yes." I said and played with my hands.

"Was I good their too?" Remus asked. "Yes you cocky bastard." And I should've shut my mouth, "What do you mean too?" James asked and turned to Remus. "Well Ranger and I have had sex before." Remus said and I cringed my eyes shut. "When?" James asked.

"It was right before we left for winter break at that gryffindor party after I caught Dorcas cheating on me." Remus said and Sirius gave me a high five. "You we're practically eating Lily's face at the party, I've never seen Ranger so uncomfortable." Remus said with a laugh. "Blimey that's embarrassing." James said and leaned back. Putting and arm over my shoulders and the other on the top of the seat.

"Oh looked we're here!" Peter said excitedly. When we got off of the train James ran to his parents, Remus following as they had OWLed him about visiting his mother in the muggle hospital she was at. Sirius and I walked to Arthur and Amos who had huge smiles on their faces.

"We graduated!" They yelled and hugged each other. Evanna and Molly were gossiping on the bench next to us and Sirius and I realized that today they felt free and excited for the life ahead of them.
