Okay, this is definitely the last chapter. Enjoy!

"Oh. My. God. Are you serious?" Lily's eyes widened

"Yes! I actually saw it with my own two eyes!" Donna said smiling widely, hugely pleased with herself for uncovering this juicy piece of gossip.

"Really? Remus and Sirius?" a nod "In an empty classroom?" another nod "Snogging?!"

"Yes!" Donna nearly exploded, causing several first years to look around in alarm.

"Wow! That... it's... Oh, it is awesome! Remus has seemed so sad lately! Now I finally know why... But, Donna, Have you told anyone else?"

"No. Why?" She tilted her head slightly to one side

"Um, it's just that... I don't think either of them would really want anyone to know about this..."

"But it's the best-"

"Come on, Donna! Don't make me put a tongue-tying jinx on you!"
"I- Oh, fine. You're no fun!"

Lily sighed. Donna was alright, but she was such a gossip. It wouldn't be long before she slipped up and told someone with an even louder mouth than hers, if that was possible... Lily got up from where she had been sitting at a table in the common room and went over to an armchair by the fire where James was sitting. As much as she hated to admit it, she really did need to talk to him.

"Um, Potter?" She cringed slightly as she sat down beside him

"Well hey there, beautiful!" He said, beaming at her.

"Please don't call me that." She scowled at him

"I'm just stating the facts, you know. No need to get annoyed at me."

"You're so annoying that it's impossible not to... Anyway," She said "Donna Goodman says that she saw Sirius snogging Remus in an empty classroom."

"Oh... Uh, really? Are you sure that it wasn't a girl with short hair?" James tried, and failed, to feign surprise. Lily's eyes narrowed.

"Wait a second... You knew about it didn't you!"

"Am I really that shitty at acting?" James smiled feebly

"Yes. You really are. So, when did you find out, or did you see them too?"

"I kind of walked in on them in the room of requirement about a week ago. That was when they declared their undying love for each other."

"Oh... Does anyone else know? Does Peter?" She asked, momentarily forgetting her enmity for this particular Marauder.

"No. I think it's just you, me and that Goodman chick."

Lily rolled her eyes in annoyance at the way James called females "Chicks". It was such a chauvinist way of referring to women.

"Well well, what do we have here? The ravishing Lily Evans and our decrepit old James?" Sirius said loudly, having just walked through the portrait hole with Remus.

"Shut up, Sirius! I wouldn't be anywhere near him if it weren't for you and-" She nodded in Remus' direction, who was now helping Peter with an essay. Sirius' eyes widened.

"Wh- How?" He looked at James "You bastard!" He looked as though he was about to throttle his friend.

"Whoa, hold up mate! I didn't tell her! Donna Goodman saw the two of you making out." James looked extremely alarmed at Sirius' expression.

"Oh fuck." Sirius sat on a low table in front of the two armchairs. Lily placed her hand on Sirius' arm as he looked at the ceiling, biting his lower lip.

"It- It isn't that bad, surely? I mean, sure there are a few homophobes at this school, but when you think about it, it really isn't that much of a calamity." She said, less than optimistic. Sirius just looked at her blankly.

"How am I going to tell Remus that everyone will know by tomorrow morning?"

"She did tell her not to tell anyone, so you might have until about lunchtime..." James joked.

"Shit. I think I'd better go and talk to him before he gets freaked out by all the staring and thinks that someone let slip about his... problem." Sirius walked over to Remus and pulled him over to one side. James watched Remus' face as Sirius told him the bad news. Even though two of his best friends were in such distress, He couldn't help but be aware of Lily Evans sitting so close to him without recoiling in disgust. Maybe he had a chance with her after all...

New scene

Remus sighed as heads turned to watch him make his way to the Gryffindor table to eat breakfast. Ever since yesterday afternoon everyone had been looking at him in corridors and in classes. He was so angry at Donna Goodman for not being able to keep her mouth shut about his and Sirius' secret.

"Hey Moony. You are going to love these pancakes." Sirius grinned, ignoring the stares they were attracting.

"Really? Unless they have chocolate in them I don't see how they could be any better than-" His face lit up "Chocolate chip pancakes! Oh wow, that's awesome!" He sat down and piled a large number of them onto his plate, shovelling them into his mouth with great enthusiasm.

"Far out, Moony. Don't be a pig or anything." James said; secretly glad to see his friend eating properly.

"Iss ohf, 'ames" Remus said with a mouth full of pancake.

Quarter of an hour later, the four marauders rose from the emptying table and headed off to Muggle Studies. They were given a fairly wide berth in the halls. James shook his head. It was as if no-one had ever seen a gay person before. Well, it might be the fact that they had never had it paraded around quite so much. Sirius, being the more forward of the two, would hold Remus' hand or kiss him on the cheek. If it had been a heterosexual couple, no-one would have batted an eyelid but, as it was two men, there was something wrong with it.

James, however, had never seen the two of them so happy before.

New scene

"Sirius. Sirius?" Remus hissed, shaking his friend awake in the darkness of the dormitory. Peter's snores echoed softly throughout the room as Sirius opened his eyes and stared groggily at Remus.

"Huh? Wuzzgoinon?" He whispered, confused.

"I can't get to sleep. Can I sleep with you?" Remus replied quietly, crouching by Sirius' head.

"Uh, sure. Of course!" Sirius moved closer to the wall on the far side of the bed. Remus smiled, pulling back the covers on the bed and climbing into the warmth made by his... Boyfriend? Remus thought for a moment. Yes, that was the word. He smiled again. He was Sirius Black's boyfriend.

"Thanks, Sirius." Remus said softly into his ear.

"That's okay, Moony." Sirius wrapped his arms around the other boy's slim frame, hugging him close.

"You make me so happy, Padfoot." Remus murmured, half asleep. Sirius smiled, his face buried in Remus' hair.

"Me too," he inhaled deeply as Remus slipped into unconsciousness "I'll always love you," He was barely whispering the words as he himself began to slumber. "My Moony."

Across in a bed across the dormitory, a wide awake James Potter smiled upon hearing the sleepy exchanges of his friends. He turned over and went back to sleep.

I'm pretty sure I wrapped it up nicely there... Tell me if you agree (or disagree)!
