Chapter 18: Happy New Year Hogwarts!

Warning: A little nudity

The upper years of the school were in a frenzy when the Christmas holidays began approaching. Especially all the girls. Like May predicted, they all swarmed to the dress shop in Hogsmeade in the first weekend. Luckily, May's mother had agreed to buy her a new dress and would send it to May to arrive on Christmas day.

As the Christmas holidays finally arrived and the younger years either went home or stayed in the school because they couldn't go home or didn't want to go home. The Head Boy and Head Girl, along with the entire prefects had decorated the Great Hall, main entrance and the many stairways in the school. May decorated the Great Hall with the majority of the prefects and Professor Flitwick, who was busy decorating one of the many trees.

May felt a pair of eyes on her as she levitated a bauble onto the tree. She glanced behind her to find Sirius watching her with a grin across his face. She gave him a broad smile before returning to her job of decorating one of the trees. She could tell that he was still watching her but she continued with her decorating, which was nearly finished and she would be free for the evening. Free to spend time with Sirius.

Sirius admired May as she levitated the baubles onto the tree effortlessly. It was common knowledge that her favourite and best subject was Charms. He moved to sit at the Gryffindor table and watched her. She was still in her school uniform but had removed her robes to be able to work better at decorating with the annoying sleeves in the way. Her long black hair was tied back in a French plait and hung down her back. He remembered a conversation, which turned into an argument, between May and her mother.

Her mother was telling May to get a haircut as her hair was getting too long. Of course May said no because she liked her hair long. Sirius kept quiet as he agreed with May. He preferred her hair long. It suited her. Plus he loved running his hands through it whenever they were together, not just kissing but also when they were sitting together on the sofa in the common room.

He gave a wide grin when she placed her wand in the waistband of her skirt and she picked up her cloak and make her over to him. “Hello gorgeous.” He stood up and greeted her with a gentle kiss.

“How long have you been here?” Wrapping her arm around his waist, while his wrapped around her shoulder and he led the two of them out of the Great Hall.

“Not long. Just 10 minutes. Had a last minute detention with McGonagall.” Shrugging his shoulder a little as the couple walked up the many stairs of the grand staircase. May looked sideways at him silently, waiting for him to continue on with why he was in detention. “Don't look at me like that. It was a Christmas present for her.” Smirking as they continued their walk to the seventh floor. “James and I changed the Slytherins' hair gold and red for the Christmas spirit.” Laughing again and May laughed with him also. “See! You find it amusing but she didn't.”

“Of course she didn't.” May laughed as her hand gripped his shirt, something she found comfort in whenever they walked around the castle or the castle grounds. “Well I am glad you had a fun last lesson. My last lesson was with Sluggy.” She groaned as she spoke the last sentence and leant her head against his shoulder. “Was not fun. Though he tried to make it fun.” The two laughed as they reached the portrait of the fat lady, who was gossiping with her friend Violet, another painting. “Red baubles.” May announced. The portrait opened without the two women breaking from their gossip.

“Baby. I've got something to tell you.” Sirius spoke quietly as the two sat in the corner of the common room, which was half full with students, who were either staying for the ball or students who weren't going home and didn't have to pack.

May sat comfortably in one of the two armchairs with her shoes off and feet tucked under her. “What is it?” Giving him a small smile as she tucked a loose curl behind her ear.

“This summer I'm going to be moving out of your house.” He put his finger on her lips to stop her from protesting. “Sh! Let me finish.” He grinned as he moved his finger away from her lips. “My uncle has left me some money. Well, enough to get somewhere else to live, which I have already got.” His grin lessened a little when he saw her shocked expression. “It's in London if it helps.” Giving her a small grin but it disappeared at the sight of her pained expression. “What's wrong with wanting to be independence?”

“It's not that.” She chuckled a little. “It will be odd with you not at the house all this summer.”

Sirius chuckled also and ran a hand through his hair. “I know but you know I will be over constantly. I'll miss you too much.” Wriggling his nose a little before leaning forward and kissing her. His hand rested on her cheek as they kissed but once his hand made contact with the skin of her cheek. “Merlin! You are freezing!”

She gave a laugh. “I'm fine!” Giggling as he planted kissed all over her cheeks. “Sirius! Stop it!” Giggling loudly as he stood to move in front of her, leaning down and kissing her face with feather-light kisses. Her hands snaked up his back, resting on his shoulder blades. “Kiss me.”

“I am.” He mumbled against the skin of her cheek. One hand held him off her body, which was curled into the chair and the other rested on the side of her head, his fingers gently touched her long ebony hair. He knew exactly where she wanted him to kiss her. Her lips. But Sirius was purposely avoided her lips. He enjoyed teasing her.

“Sirius.” She groaned in frustration as he continued to drag his lips across her cheekbone. “Kiss me, for Merlin's sake!” Growling in frustration as his lips moved from her cheek to her neck. “Sirius...” She sighed softly, the pleasure of his gentle lips dragging across her skin was igniting a soft warmth inside her.

“Padfoot! For the love of Merlin! Leave my sister alone for 5 minutes!” He growled at him. Usually it was playful but when Sirius turned to face his best friend. If the term “Looks could kill” could actually happen to a person, at that moment Sirius would have been killed a million times over by the angry expression from James.

“Go away James! We're only having a bit of fun.” May leant to the side to have a view of James. “Haven't you got something to do?” Glancing towards Lily, who was sitting at a table and working. Even though the holidays were now officially over Lily still continued studying. May watched her brother as he turned and glanced at Lily. His cheeks turned slightly pink and slowly he walked towards her. There was no air of arrogance about him but his posture showed that he was incredibly nervous.

“Um... Lily.” He spoke quietly.

Lily looked up at him in shock when he spoke her first name rather than her last name. “Yes? What do you want Pot.... James?” She thought she should show him the same courtesy that he was showing her.

James sat in the chair opposite her, his eyes fixed on her. “I want to ask you this now as I want to get it off my chest. Before you protest, I am not asking you out.” He gave her a small smile. “Well I sort of am but not to go out with me. I was um... I was wondering if you um.... would like to go to the New Year's Ball with me?” Lily sat in silence with a shocked expression for a moment before speaking but she was cut off by James. “I knew you would say no.” Standing up and turning away.

“I would love to go with you.” Her voice soft and gentle. James spun around to face her again and he saw a small and genuine smile on her face. “Only to the ball. Not go out with you but to the ball.”

James gave a lopsided grin. “Thank you. I will be on my best behaviour.” Giving her another smile before leaving the Common Room to the boys' dormitories. Lily sat in silence and in shock. She could not believe that she had just accepted James' invitation to go to the ball with him. The few people who had heard them were also in shock at the two being so civilised with each other. Even May and Sirius were shocked at Lily's reaction and James not being an idiot in front of her.

Christmas soon descended upon Hogwarts. The majority of the students were up early and opening their presents from family and friends. May sat with the Marauders, Hannah and surprisingly Lily. Lily recently had not been getting along with the girls in her dormitory and May invited her to spend Christmas morning with them. All morning James behaved and did not call Lily by her last name and did not act like an arrogant git in front of her.

As always the Marauders were awake first and sorting out the presents in the Common Room in front of the fire. They made sure that they had some of the comfy sofas and chairs. The first of the girls to arrive was May, who greeted them with a grunt and she flopped onto the sofa next to Sirius, who wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. “Morning beautiful.” He whispered in her ear.

“Yeah.” She groaned and made herself comfortable in the arms of her boyfriend. “Why is it law to get up early on Christmas Day?” Her eyes slipping closed.

“I said so.” James nudged her foot to wake her up. “Wake up!” Instead of waking up, May quickly kicked her foot in the direction of her annoying brother. “Hey!”

“Well leave me alone! I will wake up when the others come down.” Her eyes still closed as she attempting to get back to sleep but Sirius had other ideas. His lips gently caressed the top of her head. “Baby, I'm trying to sleep and if you keep doing that, I will go back to bed and not come down until dinner.” Sirius tightened his hold on her and continued to kiss her dark hair. “Sirius...” She spoke threateningly. “If you wish for me to kiss you today, I suggest that you stop it.”

“Awww(!)” He pouted sarcastically. “What happens if we run into some mistletoe?”

“You're already holding up mistletoe, aren't you?” She mumbled against his chest, opened one eye and looked up at him. There it was. The small plant being held over them both. “I hate you.”

“I know you do. Now, you have to obey the rules and kiss me.” He grinned cheekily. May melted at the sight of his cheeky grin. She rolled her hazel eyes and leaned up and kissed his lips for a moment but when she tried to pull away, Sirius held her close to him and their lips remained together.

“Sirius!” James warned his best friend. “Stop it! Don't make me pull her away from you.” This immediately made Sirius pull away from May. “Thank you.” Nodding towards them and looking towards the stairs, where Lily, closely followed by Hannah, were walking down the stairs. “Good morning.” James spoke politely to them both. “Merry Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas.” Both girls chorused as they sat on the floor in front of the burning fire. “Wake up May!” Hannah leaned forward and poked her friend's leg but gave a defeated sigh when May remained asleep. “She is so lazy!” She and Lily rolled their eyes as they both knew that May hated early mornings but she would get up if James was planning something and would fall asleep the moment she sat down on a sofa or chair. “Presents please!” Hannah spoke gleefully and held her hands out to her presents.

“Who said presents?” May whispered from Sirius' embrace and slowly sat up.

“Ahh! The magic word!” Lily grinned as she opened her first present which was from her mother.

James laughed as May sat up straight. “Mention presents and May rises from the dead.” He threw one of her presents at her. “That's from me. Yes, I have the receipt if you don't like it.” Reaching for his first present and proceeded with ripping the paper off.

May opened her present and widely grinned at the present. “Wow! Thanks Jamie!” Pulling the soft and beautiful material of a long blue silk scarf. “This is beautiful.” Holding up the material for a moment and then wrapped it around her neck. “You have taste!” Laughing as she reached for a present in front of her and handed it to James. “I have no receipt so if you don't like it, tough!”

James smirked as he opened his present and nodded in approval. “Thanks May.” Looking at the new chaser gloves she had just given him. “These are brilliant!” Admiring his new present from his sister. The small group opened presents, thanked the appropriate people and threw the discarded wrapping paper onto the fire. May was happy with her presents especially her dress from her mother. She couldn't wait to wear it and see Sirius' reaction.

As Christmas dinner approached, they all disappeared to their dormitories to get ready for dinner. May and Sirius remained in the Common Room a little longer as they barely spoke to each other when everyone was opening presents. “Merry Christmas.” Sirius whispered in her ear as they sat on the comfy sofa together.

May was resting her back on Sirius' chest and his arms wrapped tight around him. “Merry Christmas. Thank you for my presents.” His present consisted of two things: a matching silver bracelet and necklace and also a new diary as her old one was running out of places to write in.

“Thank you for mine.” He smiled as his hand moved to his throat where his new necklace was. Normally he would not wear necklaces or rings but the necklace May had bought him was amazing. It was a long silver chain with a small pendant at the end. “I have one more present for you. I wanted to wait until we were alone before I gave it to you.” He reached under the sofa and pulled out a rectangular box from under it. He had wrapped it in silver paper with a red ribbon wrapped around it.

“What is it?” She asked as she pulled the ribbon off and then the silver wrapping paper. Sirius remained silent as she threw the paper onto the fire and proceeded to open the navy blue box. Inside was a silver key on a piece of red ribbon. “A key?” Asking in confusion as she took the key out of the box and examining it.

Sirius chuckled and kissed the side of her head. “That is a key to my new flat in London.” He rested his chin on her shoulder. “When you have finished school, I want you to move in with me. In the summer, if your mum and dad let you, I want you to stay occasionally. How does that sound to you?”

May sat up straight and turned in her seat to face him with a large smile. “How does 'yes' sound?” Grinning broadly and leant forward, pressing her lips against him as her answer. “Best present today.” Kissing him again. “Right now. I need to get dressed or we will miss Christmas dinner!” The two parted ways and agreed to meet in the Common Room to walk down to the Great Hall together along with the others.

- - - - - - - - - - – - - - - – - - - -

The Marauders were the loudest in the whole Great Hall throughout the course of the dinner. Lily didn't complain as she was joining in with their laughter. May and Hannah noticed that James and Lily had not shared a cross word with each other all morning and to the two girls this looked promising. Though May was waiting for James to say the wrong thing and Lily would be offended and the two would fall out.

There was a mixture of cracker hats. James wore a flamboyant woman's hat without shame, Sirius wore a jester's hat, Peter and Remus wore a bowler hat and top hat respectively. The girls always wore a variety of hats. Lily wore a golden crown which complimented her hair. Hannah wore rich looking tiara. But it was May's hat which seemed to stand out more. She had the typical princess cone hat with silk dangling from the tip of the cone.

“You look dazzling Princess May.” Sirius whispered in her ear, his hat jingling as he moved closer to her cheek, pressing his warm lips to her flushed cheek.

“Ah! Good jester. It is treason to kiss a Princess in such a way.” May spoke in a prim accent and pushed Sirius away from her. “It is forbidden.” Her hand delicately pressed against his lips as he tried his best to kiss her. “My good jester! We are in public! We cannot express our feelings!” Keeping a straight face whilst the others laughed at their act.

“But my Lady, it surely is not against the law for us to show our true feelings for each other.” Taking her hand in his, bringing it to his lips and pressing his lips against his knuckles. “You are truly a beauty!”

May could not hide her laughter any longer and burst into a fit of giggles. “How can I resist such a statement?” Leaning forward and kissing Sirius' smirking lips. “So much temptation in so little time.” Laughing softly as he pretended to look pleased with himself. His eyes flickers over to James, who was laughing with Remus and Lily. Once he knew that James was completely distracted, Sirius' hand rested on May's knee and slowly moved up her thigh, his hands feeling the texture of her jeans. “Sirius...” She whispered warningly as his hand rested halfway up her thigh.

He only smirked at her as she shifted closer to him to make it less obvious. “Quiet Princess. Don't want your dear brother to know.” His free hand reached to push a strand of her hair away from her neck and ghosted his lips over her skin. “Merry Christmas.” He whispered, his breath tickling her skin and his hand gently squeezing her thigh. He finally pressed his lips against her neck. It wasn't his usual gentle kiss. His lips were slightly parted and gently sucked the skin on her neck.

“Sirius...” She whispered with a sigh, not wanting to move away but she knew James would kill them if they carried on. “Stop it.” She sighed heavily as he moved his lips over her neck, making her sigh softly at every touch. Her hand rested over his hand, that still lay on her thigh and pulled it away. Even though she was enjoying the intimacy of his touches, she did not want to face James' wrath. “Behave.” Moving away from his torturous lips. “Not here.” She smirked and kissed his pouting lips. “Later.”

The snow had fallen heavily on Hogwarts a few days before Christmas and now the majority of the school was taking advantage of the weather by having a massive snowball fight between houses. The fight was usually happened between the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs against Slytherins, which usually ended with it being just the Gryffindors against the Slytherins.

There was only one rule: No magic. Everyone was wrapped up warm with hats, coats, scarves and gloves. Only a few girls from Gryffindor came out as they didn't want to catch colds or get their hair wet. May and Hannah were one of the few girls who went out to join in with the snowball battle. Lily wanted to stay inside has she wanted to send a letter to her parents.

The fight took place on the quidditch pitch and it usually made its way out of the pitch and onto the grassy slopes surrounding Hogwarts. May had her long hair tied back into a messy bun which was speckled with flakes of snow. She wore dark blue jeans with a woolly red jumper which was hidden by her grey coat. To keep her completely warm, she wore her Gryffindor scarf with black gloves and a white beany hat.

Sirius grinned when he watched her beginning to make snowballs. He remembered one of the first times they had a snowball fight and it was the first time he tried to kiss her but didn't have the courage to. It was then when he realised that he fancied her. He grinned still when she jokingly threw a handful of snow-dust at Hannah. The two girls giggled as they continued making their snowballs. The four houses stood on different sides and ends of the pitch. The house with the most was Gryffindor but Slytherin were close behind with the next largest group.

The Head Boy was the one who gave the go ahead to begin the snowball fight. He and the Head Girl stood in one of the stands, waited for any stragglers and then he raised his right hand. “GO!” He shouted loudly and the screams and the many flurries of snowballs. Each house charged in the general direction of the middle of the pitch.

The fight inside the pitch lasted an hour until they began moving into the grounds. The Marauders were still together and fighting hard against the Slytherins. The girls had moved into the grounds alone and were throwing snowballs at everyone and also at each other. Hannah soon gave up and went back inside but May insisted on staying out and continuing the fight. There were now only a hundred or so left. Majority of the students had returned to the castle. She was careful as she searched for the Marauders to join in with them.

All she had to do was follow the shouts and the cheers. She knew the Marauders would be in the midst of the fighting. As she approached the large area in front of the Black Lake, she could make out a large group of Gryffindors; a mixture of boys and girls and a smaller group of Slytherins; all boys.

She ran quickly, avoiding as many snowballs as she could and straight towards her brother. “How are we doing?” She asked breathlessly as she hid behind a rock formation, next to Peter, who was busy making loads of snowballs for the Marauders and anyone else nearby. She knelt next to Peter and the two began making more and more snowballs for those who were still fighting against the Slytherins.

Sirius bent down to pick up two snowballs. “Hello Princess.” He smirked and kissed her quickly before standing up and throwing the two snowballs in the general direction of the Slytherins. He returned to crouch in front of her. “Princesses should not be caught up in a war.”

“Neither should the jester.” She smirked and pushed a snowball into his face.

He glared at her and reached for the nearest snowball and pushed it into her face. “Ha!” He said gleefully but he did not expect her to dive on him with two handfuls of snow and shove them into his coat and down his shirt. “Bloody hell May!” Shivering from the freezing substance against his skin. “That was harsh.” Feigning being upset while he gathered a handful of snow. “Why would you do that? I know! So I could do this!” Holding her close to him and pushing the snow down her back.

May squealed at the shock of the cold and wet snow down her back. “Sirius!” She screeched and tried to move away from him but he held her tight. “Oh Merlin! Let go of me!” Laughing as he tried to put more snow down her back.

“Will you two stop it? We're at war here! This is no time for flirting.” James growled at them but he had an amused expression across his face from their antics and the snowball war. “Pads! I need you up here. Princess May, get back to making the weapons.”

May glared at him before looking down at Sirius to glare at him also. “I hate you!”

“But you love me more than you hate me.” Sirius smirked and squashed another handful of snow onto her hair. “Get on with your job, Princess May.” Loosening his grip on her and allowed her to climb off him, but not without giving him a handful of snow up his shirt. “Cruel!” He gasped at the shock of the cold hitting his skin again.

“Be thankful, it wasn't anywhere else.” She smirked as she moved away from him to make more snowballs in a fresh area of snow.

The fight lasted until it got dark with the Slytherins losing for having the least in their house left. The Marauders continued throwing snowballs as they walked back up to the castle. Well except Sirius, who had his arm firmly around May's waist and held her close to his side. “You look beautiful.” He whispered in her ear.

“You look like a drowned rat.” She giggled softly and leaned her head against his shoulder as they approached the castle. “But a very handsome one.” Her hand gripped hold of the back of his coat as they walked up the icy steps to the castle entrance.. “Right now. I need a nice hot bubble bath.”

“Ooh sounds inviting.” Keeping his voice low in case James heard him. “Am I invited?”

May's eyes flickered up and looked at James, who was too far away for him to hear their conversation. “Bring your swimming trunks and you might be able to join me.” Giggling softly as she slowed their pace. “Actually your boxers will be much better.” Straightening up and turning her head to face him. “Wait a minute.” They stopped in the entrance to the castle. The other 3 walked on ahead and up the Main Staircase. May and Sirius faced each other. She stood on her toes and pressed her lips against his own and wrapping her arms around his neck, while his own arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into him.

“Towels.” He whispered close to her lips when they finally parted from each other. “We need towels.” Chuckling softly as he felt her fingers play with the ends of his hair.

“I'll get us some.” She whispered softly. “I can lie to James better than you.” Smirking a little. “Where shall I meet you?” Her eyes flickering between his lips and his grey eyes continuously. Both his lips and his eyes were too hard to resist and she could not tear her eyes away from them.

“Shall we try the prefects' bathroom or will there be people in there?” He brushed the back of his hand down her flushed cheek.

“There shouldn't be anyone in there.” Looking at her watch. “Everyone is probably in their common rooms and it should be empty.” Smiling up at him, a small blush brushed across her cheeks. “Meet outside there.” Standing on her toes, brushing her lips against his before disappearing up the stairs to the seventh floor. Sirius smirked to himself and made his way to the large prefect bathrooms.

After waiting for May for ten minutes, he saw her rushing up the corridor with two towels in her arms and two sets of clothing. “I sneaked into your dormitory when James was sitting in the Common Room.” Handing him his set of clothes and a towel. She moved towards the fourth door to left of the statue of Boris the Bewildered and whispered: “Bubblewrap.” The door unlocked and she moved inside, checking to see if it was empty before gesturing to Sirius to follow her in.

Sirius glanced up and down the corridor and followed his girlfriend into the large and magnificent bathroom. He had been in the prefect's bathroom before but he was going to admit it to May as it was with an ex-girlfriend of his. He watched May move around the bathroom and fill the large bath with water and foamy bubbles as he locked the door.

May suddenly felt nervous as she unbuttoned her coat and lowered it onto a dry patch. She glanced over her shoulder at him. “Are you joining me or you just going to stand there like a lemon?” Pulling her damp jumper over her head, letting it join her coat on the floor. Sirius hadn't noticed that she was not wearing her Wellington boots but a pair of white slippers but only noticed when she stepped out of them to lose her socks.

He grinned and walked over to her, placing his things on the floor next to her own. Sirius continued to watch her as she tied her long hair into a messy bun on the top of her head. He stood behind her when she had finished putting up her hair and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him. His hands rested on the bottom of her white t-shirt before he slowly began to lift it off her person. He gave a small sigh when he saw her white lace bra. She was indeed magnificent. Once her shirt lay on the floor his lips descended to her neck.

“Sirius.” She sighed. Her heart pounded in her chest as his hands ghosted over her sides, his fingertips barely touching her heated skin. It ignited the spark inside her. The spark made her turn around in Sirius' arms and the two met in a heated kiss. Her hands gripped his hair, holding him firmly to her lips. It took all her strength to pull away.

They locked eyes. Chests heaving from their passionate embrace. “Hi.” He grinned at her and pressed his lips against her cheek. “Are we going to have this bath?” He laughed softly and cupped her cheeks in his hands. May gave a silent nod and a smile. “I'll be the gentleman and turn around unless you want me to help you.”

May ran her hands down his arms until she reached his hands and put them behind her, touching the clasp of her bra. “I might need some help.” She winked at him as her hands moved to the buttons of his coat and slowly began to unbutton the coat. The two stared at each other as May continued to undo his coat and Sirius' fingers deftly undid her bra. Her arms fell to her sides and he slowly removed her white bra. He gritted his teeth to stop himself from letting out a satisfied moan at seeing her half naked once again. He shrugged out of his coat and letting it fall to the floor, not caring where it landed. May lifted her hands and began to pull of his jumper which was soon followed by his t-shirt. “Can I ask you something before we go any further?”

“Ask away.” Nodding softly. His hands rested on her hips and pulled her close to him.

Her hands rested on his chiselled chest. “I was thinking about when we should have sex for the first time.” She blushed softly as she spoke. “Not now.” She laughed when she saw he was about to protest. “I was thinking my birthday.” The blush grew on her cheeks. “After midnight.” She bit her lower lip. “I'll be 16 and I think it would be the perfect way to start the new year. Does that sound reasonable?” Her hazel eyes will filled with hope. Hoping that he would say yes.

“That does sound reasonable.” He sealed his answer with a searing kiss. With his hands still remaining on her denim clad hips. His left hand moved to her belt and slowly undid the buckle, the button and pulled the zip down to loosen the piece of clothing. He pushed her trousers downwards and she stepped out of them once they reached her ankles. Her blush brightened as he stepped back a little to take in her appearance. “You are beautiful.”

May laughed gently and turned her head in embarrassment. “Stop it.” Giggling again as he kissed her cheek but remained silent when she turned back to face him. Her hands began to undo the button and zip of his jeans. She waited for him to take off his boots before she helped him to removed his trousers. The two stood there in only their underwear, staring at each other. This was the furthest they had been. The furthest they had gone was only May topless. But now they were both going to be naked and May was nervous. “Could you turn around while I get in the bath?” She laughed nervously.

“Of course Princess.” He grinned softly and turned her back. He listened carefully, waiting to hear her climb into the large bath.

She took off her underwear and silently climbed into the hot water. She sighed as the heat warmed her cold body. “I'm ready.” Watching him as he turned around to face her. The two grinned at each other as Sirius moved forward and climbed in. He had already rid himself of his boxers when he had turned his back on her. May swam into the middle and then back to the edge to join Sirius.

“Hello Princess.” He grinned and pulled her close to him.

“So Princess is my new nickname?” Resting her hands on his shoulders as his arms wrapped tightly around her, pulling her flush into his body.

“Yep.” He grinned at her, their faces inches from each other. “Because you are my princess.” Kissing her gently and his hand cupping her cheek. His other hand rested around her waist, keeping her close to him. May gasped as his mouth dragged down her neck, suckling it softly. One hand remained on his shoulder while the other tangled itself into his hair. Their actions went no further than kisses despite their nudity. Sirius did brush his fingers down the sides of her breasts but nothing more.

“Do you think we should go back?” May asked after being in the bathroom for an hour. They were still in the large bath, which was still hot and had the foamy bubbles on the surface. The two of them were lounging against the edge of the bath: Sirius with his back against the bath and May rested against his chest.

“I think we should.” But he held her tighter and bent his head done to kiss her damp shoulder. “Come on.” He whispered against her skin and gently pushed her forward. The two wrapped themselves in their towels. Sirius watched her for a moment. Taking in her beauty. The heat of the room had caused a few of her hairs around her neck to curl. He wanted to move forward, push the curls aside and kiss her neck but he knew that they had to get back before James started looking for them and found them both naked in the Prefect's bathroom.

The two dressed in silence and once finished they left the bathroom hand-in-hand.

The week leading up to the New Year's ball came and went. Every girl panicked because they thought they wouldn't be ready in time to meet their dates because they had the idea that they would not be able to shower in time, have the hair done on time and their make-up done on time.

The day finally arrived and the girls, who were attending the ball, were all in an uproar. Shoes were missing, jewellery was tangled and hair was knotted. The only people who were calm, were the boys. They didn't have to fuss as much as the girls. All they had to do was wear the right clothing and turn up on time.

May and Hannah had ventured into the 6^th Year dormitory as Lily had begged them to do her hair as she had no idea what to do with her red locks. They had to force Lily to sit down and let them take charge of her hair. Maggie helped to distract Lily by painting her nails with instant drying nail varnish. “With all your fussing, Lily, I get the feeling that you are nervous about going to the ball with my brother.”

“No... N... No I'm not.” She stuttered as she checked her appearance in the mirror, which stood in front of her. “I just don't....”

“You don't want to let him know that you do actually secretly like him.” Maggie quipped as she finished Lily's nails and began to finish getting ready herself. They had an hour before they were to meet their dates. Maggie had to meet her date in the entrance hall, who was Lloyd Diggory, younger brother of Amos Diggory. “Admit it Lily. You are growing to like him.”

Lily's blush betrayed her feelings. “Fine! I think I do like him but he can still be so pig-headed!” Laughing lightly as Hannah gently ran her fingers through Lily's waves. “Oh girls!” She gasped at the sight of her wavy red hair which was usually poker straight or tied back in a ponytail.

“Can we finish getting ready now?” May joked as she moved away from Lily to her own things and finished getting ready herself.

“Well it's our turn to torture you.” Lily stood up and moved over to May. “We're going to sort out your bloody hair.” Beginning to pull a brush through May's really long hair. “No you are not going to leave it down. It will look better if you had it up nicely. Sirius won't be able to resist you.” She grinned as she and Hannah began pinning May's hair up along with decorative clips. “We need you to look smashing for tonight and for your birthday.”

May grinned at them both in the mirror. “I'll be 16.” Giggling softly as she watched her friends transform her. She always loved having her hair down but watching the girls put her hair up made her think differently. They got every single lock of her hair up into a neat pattern with the decorative pins at the back of her head. “Wow! Thank girls! Am I free now?”

“Yes dear.” Lily patted her shoulders and moved to her own bed to begin to change into her dress. Once all the girls were dressed with their jewellery on and shoes on, Lily insisted they have a photo taken of them together. “This is our first ball and we should capture it before the end of the night where we are all looking exhausted or drunk.” The girls looked at Lily in shock. “I meant you lot, not me.” Rolling her eyes as she went in search of another girl to take a photograph of all of them.

The remaining girls fought over the few mirrors in the room to check their appearance before Lily returned with one of the 7^th year girls, who was ready and just about to leave for the Great Hall. The 6^th year girls, along with May and Hannah, stood in line and had a few photographs until Maggie spoke up. “As much as I love having photos with you all, I have to go and meet Lloyd.”

“Oooooh.” The girls teased her as she walked out of the dormitory, ignoring their teasing. “She is right, it is time to meet the other halves.” Hannah announced as she checked herself once more in the long mirror. “Meet you down there.”

When the Marauders minus Peter, who had gone home the day before to spend New Years with his family, had finally changed into their dress robes. James was the most nervous one of them all. He was actually going to the ball with Lily Evans. Lily Evans! The girl who called him every name under the sun every time he hexed Snivellus or asked her out. This girl who haunted his dreams with her beauty and uniqueness. She was like no other girl. To him, she was perfect in every way. Even her temper was perfect.

Remus also stood beside him nervously but he was not as nervous as James. Hannah had recently broken up with her boyfriend and Remus had found the courage to ask Hannah to accompany him to the ball. He still wasn't sure about his feelings for her but they had slowly grown since September.

As for Sirius, he was more nervous than James. May refused to show him her dress for the ball but only told him that it was green. He was about to argue with her that it was Slytherin colour when she laughed and told him it was royal purple. He grinned softly to himself when he tried to imagine her dress but he couldn't imagine anything that wouldn't look perfect on her. Everything would look perfect on her.

Girls came to the Common Room and left to go to the ball. The 3 Marauders waited for their dates to descend the stairs. They finally did. May was the first. Sirius' mouth fell open at the sight of his girlfriend. She wasn't wearing a royal purple coloured dress but a cream strapless dress which fell to the floor, covering her matching pumps. She looked so different with all her hair put up. He was so used to it being down that he never could have imagined her with her hair up like it was this very minute. “Wow.” He whispered as he met her at the bottom of the stairs. “You look...”

“I think he is trying to say you look nice.” James joked. “You do look beautiful, May.” Giving her a small smile and returned his attention to the stairs. Waiting for Lily to descend them.

Sirius remained silent as he took in May's appearance and pure beauty. “Oh... Wow.” He croaked the two sounds out when he finally found his voice. May grinned widely at him and remained quiet, waiting for him to continue. “You look beautiful.” Holding her hand in his and kissing her softly upon her smiling lips.

“Thank you.” She grinned widely and rested her hand against his chest. “You look handsome.” The two stood together as Lily and Hannah walked down the stairs into view. “Look at James.” Nodding her head in the direction of her brother. James stood there flabbergasted at the sight of Lily, who had transformed into a beautiful woman from a book loving girl. Remus smiled a little as Hannah walked over to him. She wore a lilac knee length dress with golden strap shoes while her hair was nearly the same as Lily's but her hair was shorter. As for Lily, her dress was black but it seemed to have a glittering look to it. It reached her calf and she wore matching black ballet pumps.

James could only stare at Lily. She was even more beautiful than she normally was. Now she was blushing at his stares. “You look wonderful.” Holding his hand out to her, which she nervously took and he lead her out of the Common Room, followed by Sirius and May, who were followed by Remus and Hannah.

Entering the Great Hall, they all gasped as it resembled an ice palace and looked nothing like the Great Hall that they were used to. The enchanted ceiling showed a clear sky with the stars sparkling brightly in the night sky. The six of them were lead to a table where they would have their evening meal. Thankfully they were sat away from the Slytherins and on a table with Frank and Alice and also with Maggie and Lloyd.

The dinner was a formal affair: just another Christmas dinner, according to James but he still ate his whole plate. Not once did he and Lily argue during the whole meal. When the music began, he was the first male student to ask his partner to dance in the whole hall. To everyone's shock, they did not argue as they danced around the dance floor. Couples slowly made their way to the dance floor including May and Sirius. Lloyd and Maggie soon made their way to the dance floor leaving Remus and Hannah sitting at the table alone. No one seemed to notice that the two sat in silence and didn't say a word to each other for some time.

But as the night moved closer to midnight, May noticed that Hannah wasn't dancing with Remus but with a Ravenclaw in their year. Once the song was over, May made it her mission to speak to Hannah and see what was wrong. “What do you think you're doing?” May spoke sharply to her best friend as the two of them stood in a quiet corner of the Great Hall. “You are here with Remus, you shouldn't be dancing with other guys.” Looking towards Hannah's previous dance partner, who was waiting nearby.

“I can't help it if he asked me to dance.” Her tone was icy towards May and tried to push past her but May stopped her. “You just don't see it, do you? You are too focused on your own love life, that you can't see that someone else is in love with you.”

“What do you mean?” Folding her arms across her chest and stared at her best friend, who was quickly falling from May's favours for the way she was acting and treating Remus.

“You, James and Sirius must be the only people who haven't noticed.” Hannah looked towards their previous table, where Remus was sat laughing with the Maruaders. She turned her gaze back to May. “Remus loves you. I mean really loves you. More than a friend. He's too afraid to admit to himself let alone anyone else.”

May shook her head. “No, he doesn't... He's my brother's best friend.” She stuttered as she spoke, still shaking her head.

“Didn't stop Sirius.” Hannah raised an eyebrow at her. “Talk to Remus. It might ease his mind.” Moving past her best friend to the Ravenclaw and the two returned to the dance floor.

May couldn't let the new information to settle in. It couldn't be true. Remus was a friend. He had never shown any affection towards her in any way, except in the way of a friend. She didn't know what to do. She thought it would be best not to say anything but her curiosity was getting the better of her. Her mind was uneasy about the thought of Remus being in love with her. It wasn't for the wrong reasons but because she could never see him as anything but a friend. She was in a relationship with his best friend. She bit her lower lip and stared at the Marauders. She watched Remus carefully but she noticed that he did quite occasionally glance in her direction. Not occasionally but quite often.

She didn't notice Sirius walking towards her. “Baby?” His voice came into her consciousness and jerked her out of her thoughts. “Are you okay?” Taking her hands in his own and bringing her right one to his lips and brushing them against her knuckles.

“Yes. Thinking.” Smiling a little. “About Hannah and Remus. They just didn't seem to be enjoying themselves tonight.” Giving another small grin. “Come on, it's nearly midnight.” Standing on her toes and kissing his lips gently. “It's nearly my birthday!” She grinned widely and blushed a little.

“You're getting old.” He winked at her and led her back towards her brother, who was sitting quietly and talking to Remus. Hannah had finally rejoined Remus, giving him a smile as an apology, not wanting to disrupt James and Remus' conversation. She knew May had been right about leaving Remus alone when he had asked her to the ball. “Come on you boring lot. Let us be on the dance floor when it strikes midnight.” Pulling May onto the dance floor where the majority of the students and teachers were now standing, waiting for the countdown.

James found Lily and nervously led her towards Sirius and May as did Remus and Hannah. Remus whispered something in Hannah's ear and she gave him a half-hearted smile back and a nod.

“10! 9! 8! 7!” The countdown had begun. Couples paired off, friends got together, either shouting or quietly counting down to New Year's Day. May and Sirius seemed to be in a world of their own as they counted down. “6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Happy New Year!” Every screamed, cheered, kissed and hugged in glee at the turn of the year. May and Sirius were still kissing even straight after the countdown.

Once they pulled away May spoke first before they were pulled away by friends. “Happy new year.” She spoke softly.

“No.” Sirius shook his head, kissed her for a moment and moved to whisper in her ear. “Happy Birthday.” She grinned up at him, wrapped her arms around his neck and the two embraced longer than moments ago until James had to practically pull them apart to wish them a happy new year and May a happy birthday.
