Marauder Moments

Chapter 12

Sirius was bored. Bordom was not a good thing for Sirius; it often led to terrified firsties, explosions, and floods if he was feeling feisty. So to alleviate his boredom (and consequently, save the school from mass chaos), he decided to visit good old Prongsie-boy up at the Head boy/girl dormitory.

He snuck up the stairs, using the password James had given him, and slowly inched his way towards the common room, singing ‘I’m a ninja, I’m a ninja, I’m a ninja’ under his breath. He came to the entrance, intent on screaming his comrades name and—oh my. What was this he was seeing?

Smirking, he ninja’d his way back down the stairs, calmly shutting the door.

Hehehee!

Pffffft!

OhmyMerlindidyouhear!

James and Lily glanced around the hallway in confusion. Everywhere they went, people were pointing them out—James in particular—and snickering.

“What did you do this time?” Lily hissed under her breath.

“Nothing Lily-flower, I swear! I’m perfectly innocent this time!”

“Oh, I wouldn’t say ‘innocent,’” Sirius said, working his way in-between them and slinging an arm over both their shoulders. “You’re a far bit too kinky to pull of innocent. Isn’t it Lily,” he said, giving her a knowing wink.

“What are you on about now Black?” Lily asked suspiciously.

“Oh nothing, nothing at all,” he said. “By the way Prongs, you look lovely in periwinkle.”

The couple stopped walking, James’s face paling. “What did you say?”

“Oh nothing. You see, I just went up to see you yesterday. And, well—“

“Hey Potter!” a by-passer called out, “I had no idea you were in to cross-dressing!”

The surrounding students burst into giggles.

“Really though,” Sirius said, watching the couple’s jaws hit the floor. “Why on Earth were you in Lily’s dress?”

“I was hemming it!” Lily sputtered, deep red. “I couldn’t very well hem it if I was wearing it!”

Sirius nodded. “Alright then. Makes since. Oi you lot,” he yelled into the halls, “turns out Lil’s was hemming a dress! They’re not kinky sex-fiends after all!”

The students dispersed with groans, though several of them continued snickering.

James leaned in to whisper into Lily’s ear “nice save.”

She promptly elbowed him, and stalked off.

(Prompt: Sirius sneaks into James and Lily's Head dormitory. (they're already dating at the time.) Once he gets there, he opens the portrait hole/entrance. After looking into the common room for a few seconds, he calmly closes the door and walks away. The next day, the entire school is pointing and laughing at James and Lily. What did Sirius see?

Lily stared at the door to the boy’s dormitory warily. She’d had one to many bad experiences involving… ‘overhearing’ things to just barge in. But today’s chatter seemed fairly innocent.

“You know Moony,” came Jame’s voice, “you really should stop reading so many books. It’s bad for your health.”

“You really should stop being such a prat James; it’s bad for your health.”
