It's Not Over

James x Lily

Disclaimer: I own Nothing.

A/N: I said no one would die, no one is going to die, but I must confess, it's not James x Lily fluff. I wrote this a long time ago, and I just can't delete it. Think back, to a certain rather large piece of parchment in chapter 2...

xoxoxox--Epilogue: The Map--xoxoxoxox

Sirius Black took out his two way mirror. This was their last order of business before graduating tomorrow. "Is he coming, James?"

"Yeah," Sirius heard in his mirror. "Get ready."

Sirius straightened his cloak and pulled out a rather large but blank piece of parchment. He pretended to be looking at it, and began to walk. Sure enough, as James had said, Filch was coming down the corridor. He snatched the parchment from Sirius. "What are we looking at during this time of hour, 'Mr.' Black?" he asked in tone of disgust, making a mockery of Sirius' name.

Sirius gave his practiced innocent look. "Nothing, it's just an empty piece of parchment," Sirius said smiling.

Filch looked at Sirius disbelievingly. "Sure," he said not believing a word Sirius said, he looked to examine it, "why would you look—," he paused, flipping the parchment over, surprised at the fact that Sirius was telling the truth.

Sirius gave his innocent look again. "Like I said, it's just a piece of parchment. Now, if I could have it back…" Sirius said, hesitantly reaching for it.

Filch pulled it out of Sirius' grasp, suspecting something fishy. "If it's nothing, Mr. Black, then I'll keep it."

"Wait, no," Sirius said acting.

"What?" Filch asked, waiting to hear the truth.

"Nothing." Sirius said quietly and ducked his head to hide his smile.

"Run along now, 'Mr.' Black," Filch said with the same disgusted tone. Sirius turned and began to walk away, bowing his head and giving a good pretense of being upset.

When Sirius ceased to hear Filch's footsteps, he stopped and pulled out his two way mirror again. "Prongs, what's he doing with it?"

"Um," James said, peaking into Filch's office, "excellent." He pulled his two way mirror out. "He put it in the 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous' file cabinet."

"Nice."

James began to walk away from Filch's office toward where Remus, Peter, and Sirius were. Remus and Peter were there in case the plan made a turn for the worst. James joined them. "And now, may the next generation of Marauders find that map and put it to good use," Sirius said in a very prophetic tone.

James smirked. "People from across the land, hear! Padfoot," he paused for dramatic effect, "the prophet," James said smirking again. Sirius rolled his eyes.

The four looked at each other and smiled. They shared a practiced four way high five and swung their arms over each other. They began to walk toward the Gryffindor common room. "Our work here is done, my fellow Marauders," Sirius said blissfully as they headed off to spend their last night at Hogwarts.

*****

And yes, Sirius' words did indeed come true, as some years later, two red headed twins did find that rather large piece of parchment, and put it to good use.

I mean, come on, you think that Filch could have taken it without the Marauders' consent? Nah, he is Filch after all...
