My Everything 2

10

The common room was mostly vacant, not surprising since it was nearly midnight on a school night. Mostly vacant with the exception of the marauders of course.

James was pacing in the common room. Remus and Sirius were staring nervously at the portrait hole.

"This, is an awful idea." Sirius was the one to speak surprisingly enough, Remus nodded.

"He's going to kill you."

"He'll have to get to me first, besides." James said pausing for a brief moment, "By the time he gets to me, it'll be too late anyway."

"Alright, forcing Snape to marry you is where I draw the line." Remus said as he got up, "I want no part in this. Sirius?"

Sirius sat up, he looked at Remus and then back at James, "I-"

"This is your fault." James said darkly and Sirius huffed as he sank back in his seat and folded his arms over his chest.

Remus shook his head and left the room, headed for the boy's dorms.

"This is a bad idea James."

James didn't respond and Remus just continued on his way to their room. Sirius watched him go before bringing his gaze back to the hazel eyed wizard.

"This really is a terrible idea Prongs."

"It'll be fine. It's-It's for his own good." James said dragging a hand through his hair and Sirius frowned.

"What do you mean its for his own good?"

James just shook his head, "Nothing, just... if Severus manages to get in here, you have to help me keep him away until midnight. Understand?"

"Fine, yes."

"Good."

Just then they heard the portrait open and they both tensed, Sirius took his wand out and James stepped back when-

"It's just unbelievable."

That's Lily's voice. The marauders each let out a sigh-

"So this, you-you're some sort of spell?"

"Yes. I'm a manifestation of-"

"Lily I promise I'll explain everything later, I need to talk to Potter."

That was Severus... both of them.

James and Sirius both tensed all over again.

Seconds later Lily came walking into the room, still looking back at Snape's double in awe just before she was followed by said double and Snape.

The Slytherin looked up into the common room, his nose wrinkling in distaste for a moment before he spoke.

"Lily, I need to talk to him alone."

The redhead frowned, "Are you sure Sev? I don't want them trying anything."

"I'll be fine. You can go."

The girl seemed to purse her lips for a brief moment, seeming to notice the tension in the room but still relented as she turned and went up the steps to the girl's dorms.

"We'll talk later then."

As soon as she was gone, Snape turned his gaze back to James. He took in a deep breath and let it out before determinedly walking over to the other.

"Why did you leave?"

"I-"

"It doesn't matter, lets just end this." Snape was less than three feet away when Sirius suddenly got up from his seat and stood in front of him, wand aimed at Snape. The Slytherin stopped and his eyes narrowed slightly.
