JilypadWeek2024 - Day 4 - A Mission For Love

@jilypadweek

FINALLY FINISHED Enemies to Lovers

When enemy aurors are forced to go undercover at a sex club, they come away with more than a vanquished Voldemort.

AO3

***

Sirius Black never thought he’d ever be paired with the two people that he hates more than anyone else for a mission.  Shouldn’t there be some sort of trust when it comes to these missions? 

Why on earth is Moody sending him on a mission to act like he’s some sort of sexual pet to Evans with Potter?  Who would believe two purebloods would be pets to a muggleborn?  Especially in this climate of Voldemort’s almost-rule.  He hasn’t taken control yet, but he’s close.  This mission is meant to infiltrate Voldemort’s sex ring that is in the basement of his main base of operations. 

Unfortunately, Sirius knows he can’t voice his displeasure because he’s already on thin ice just for being a Black, but luckily, Potter does.

“Because you two aren’t purebloods in this scenario.  We’re going to put a few spells on you so that you’ll still remain your attractive selves, but no one will know that you’re not muggleborns.  Just like we’ll do with Evans.  You can’t go undercover looking like yourselves.”

“Why wouldn’t one of us be the master rather than the mistress?” Potter huffs.  “I could easily be the dom in this scenario.”

“Please, you couldn’t be a dom if you tried,” Evans scoffs.  “You’re like putty any time someone praises you.  Bet you’d get off on just being called a good boy.”

In true Potter fashion, he flushes and looks somewhat furious.

“Look, the three of you are our best aurors.  You’re perfect for this mission and they’re specifically recruiting male subs and female doms, something about Voldemort wanting his men to learn their place and his women to be rewarded…”

“Technically, you don’t need three of us…”

“Oh, no, Black.  We want all of you to learn something and play your part.  So, come back tomorrow, 8 AM sharp for your first outfits.”

He doesn’t voice the first question running through his mind, but he knows that he has no option, but to nod.  This is his job on the line, and he wants to do something to make the world a better place.

So, he’ll do whatever he needs to do to bring down Voldemort and make this mission a success.

***

The next morning, he’s sent to a private room as soon as he arrives where he sees Evans dressed in black leather – an outfit that laces down to her belly button and then as a tail behind her that falls to the back of her legs.  She’s wearing black underwear, and black mesh stockings that go into black leather boots that go up to her knees. 

Shit.  She looks hot. 

Luckily, she’s not paying attention to him as she’s looking down at the table to see some of the other things they’ll be bringing into the club as well as the case file and looks down, too.

He spies two lacy outfits clearly meant for him and Potter.

“Dear Merlin.”

Evans glances up at him with a smirk on her face.  “Don’t worry I think you and Potter will look quite sexy in those outfits.”

“It’s not a matter if I will look sexy, I’m sure I will.  However, it’s … quite… revealing.”

“That would be the point,” Evans says, turning the file she was reading around for him to read, too. 

Written there, plain as day, were the requirements for entry regarding outfits and behavior.  There would be an expectant scene required for entry and even then, there are certain levels of the club with certain requirements, the higher up they go, they deeper they dived into dominate and sub dynamics with very little say in their outfits / non-outfits.

If they reached the top level, which was the goal, they would be completely exposed and at Evans’ mercy.  He could only hope that he could trust her not to go too far. 

… After all, they are enemies.

***

Lily can’t help smirking at Black and Potter as they don their lingerie.  They have identical outfits with lace covering their dicks and appearing thong-like until the back where there’s a bit of lace covering half of their arses.  It then goes onto their stomachs, as a lacy band of sorts around their waists and a mesh top.  They have stockings, too, all in their chosen colors – red for Potter and blue for Black, and collars that match. 

The collars were spelled to remind them of expectations if they hesitate to follow her command, and quite frankly, she’s looking forward to finally getting to be in charge.  These two had made her Hogwarts years difficult, not in a death-eater-wannabe-way, but in the – she needed to be top of the class to stand a chance at becoming what she wanted to be since muggleborns were sorely at a disadvantage and it was getting worse throughout her school years way. 

Given that Black and Potter were both set for life without working – let alone becoming an auror for the war – she was extremely annoyed that they kept putting her position as top student – first at Hogwarts and then at Auror Academy – in jeopardy… she needed it more than they did and it drove her crazy any time they beat her scores… so seeing them in her control will be very nice.

Especially since they’re not at all bad to look at… and from the rumors she’s heard, they’re pretty good lays, too.

She knows that the reason that they were selected was because all three of them have a reputation for… well, being free-loving… still there’s a list of things that they’re consenting to that they have to read through and discuss, which didn’t necessarily have to be done in these outfits, but she supposes it’s important to get used to what they’ll have to wear for the foreseeable future.

… and that’s not the only thing they should get used to…

“Moody suggested that we get into character sooner rather later,” Black suggests looking very much like he’d rather do anything else as he adds his consent form to Lily’s on the desk. 

“And you want to get started… here?” Potter questions.  “Kind of awkward with our co-workers out there –”

“Don’t be a tosser, Potter,” Black states.  “Moody made the suggestion, we move in on the mission in three days, yet, he had us report here today, get dressed and gave us a room with a fireplace…”

“… and orders to get in character,” Lily says.  “I suppose that we should go to mine, then?”

“Lead the way, Mistress.”

***

Unlike his two companions, James’ part of their enemy-ship is more confusion than actual hatred for either of them.  He had often over the years attempted to befriend both of them – sometimes even flirting with them (he could never understand why they’d sleep with everyone else but him) but they were always hostile, so he was hostile back.  He was not going to beg them to be friends with him. 

Which is why he finds standing in Lily’s sitting room by the fire in lacy lingerie and trying not to let his thoughts wander into how much he’s wanted to have sex with them over the years despite knowing that he’s about to have sex with two people that he’s been fantasying about. 

Only problem… they still hate him.

The sex is just… to get used to having sex for the mission.

His uncertainty must show because Evans focuses on Black as she leans against the back of the couch with her legs spread.  “Kneel, Pet.”

Rather than glare and be difficult, Black kneels before her looking like he’s born to be there.  “Any other time, I’d make orders, but this time… just show me that all those rumors are true.”

Black grins.  “Anything for you, Mistress.”

James can’t help being frozen, watching as Black kisses the inside of Evans’ knee through the mesh of her stockings and up her thigh and outside her black panties.  He repeats the action on the other leg before kissing his way up her body and back to his feet.  He slowly undoes the ties of her pseudo shirt and sucks on her right breast until Evans moans, “Other side.”

He blows on it before moving over to her left breast and sliding his hand down her stomach and into her panties. 

She grasps when he begins his ministrations.  She clearly doesn’t need to direct him because she’s got this pleased look and the sounds she’s making certainly make him want to wank.  Figuring that they won’t notice, he pulls himself out of the lace and starts wanking.

She lets him get her close before she says, “I want … your… mouth…”

She’s clearly struggling and obviously pleased.  He seems pretty proud of himself, as he kisses his way back down her body as he withdraws his hand.  Back to his knees, he whispers a banishment spell on the panties, and they land on James’ head. 

Black throws a wink in James’ direction before he buries himself in between Evans’ legs.  Apparently, Black hasn’t forgotten his presence.

Black’s mouth must be heaven as the sounds that she is making is completely sending James over the edge, but before he can, Evans comes and orders, “No coming, Potter.”

He groans, as he lets go of his cock and glares at her, panting.  She’s panting and pleased, and Black is kneeling and grinning.

“Enjoy the show?” Black asks, smugly, like he knows just how close he’d been to coming. 

“No, I just had hot porn playing out in front of me and I wasn’t into it at all.”

Black snorts as Evans grins. 

“Well, Potter, I think it’s time I got my own show.  Why don’t you show me your skills on Black?”

James swallows.  It’s been a while since he’s been with a bloke and if he’s truthful, he’s not that sure his game is as good as he’s heard Black’s game is. 

Black climbs to his feet and approaches slowly, “Perhaps, I should show you how it’s done if you’re nervous.”

“I’m not nervous.”

It’s a lie and Black knows it, especially as James backs up against the other couch, uncertainly.  Black gets into his space and James’ heart beats fast.  He’s fantasized about having sex with him before and now that it’s happening, he can’t help the nervousness. 

Black reaches out but doesn’t touch.  He’s waiting for permission because despite the consent forms that they filled out, he’s not going to force himself on James. 

“Maybe I am nervous… it’s – I’ve… not been with a bloke very often …”

“I’ll show you how it’s done… if you let me.”

Rather than answer, James surges forward to kiss Black, and damn it, he’s prepared.  He brings his hands up to run through James’ hair and taking control.  He melts against him and enjoys the taste of Black (and a little of Evans) on his lips.

He’s a little dazed as Black pulls back and starts to kiss at his neck and down his chest.  He’s panting, pleased as Black gives the same treatment to his nipples as he had done to Evans and then slides to his knees and since James had pulled himself out of the lace, he’s able go to town on James’ cock in moments.

The warm, wet mouth is good enough that he could easily come from just a few bobs of his head, but that’s not all Black does.  Instead, he uses his tongue to swirl around his tip and draws it on the underbelly of his cock.  He groans.  He’s far more talented than James is at this, but on top of his tongue, he takes a second to whisper a spell, and then begins to finger James’ arse.

“Oh, Merlin.”

“You like that, don’t you, Pet,” Evans says, voice a lot closer to him.

His eyes had closed at the sight of Black on his knees with James’ cock in his mouth and now she’s next to him, still looking rather spent, but also hot and bothered as she watches Black go to town on him.

“Yes, yes, please… can I come?” he gasps out.  He needs to come and for a minute, he completely forgets that she never told him that he couldn’t once Black started showing him his skills.

She’s grinning at him.  “Well, you have been rather a good boy, haven’t you?”

“Yes, yes, I have, please.”

“Come,” she orders before kissing him as he comes down Black’s throat.

As with Black, Evans clearly knows how to kiss, and he revels in the feeling of having both of them with their mouths on him. 

Unfortunately, they pull off far too soon for him, and he finds himself blinking down at Black when Evans says, “Your turn, Black?”

Black flushes.  “Actually, I, er, came from… sucking Potter off.”

“Did you touch yourself?  I didn’t see –” Evans starts.

Black coughs.  “Er, no.  I don’t… need to, sometimes.”

James can’t believe it.  That’s so hot.

“That’s so damn hot,” he says, mainly to himself, but… it’s clear they can hear him, too, with how close they are standing together.

Evans grins as she helps Black to his feet.  “Well, at least there’s chemistry.”

Black laughs.  “Chemistry and experience… I think we’ll do just fine on this mission.”

Evans eyes them both.  “Just with a little more practice.”

Black’s smiling as James says, “Yeah, practice makes perfect.”

***

By the time that they were able to get into the club that the mission is located at, Sirius can admit that he’s rather amused that he can elicit definitely not faking reactions from both Evans and Potter.  They’d spent the better part of three days getting into character and there’s a part of him that wonders if maybe the sex was the answer on how they could’ve handled the tension between the three of them a lot sooner. 

After all, it’s so easy to let Evans have her way with him, to have Potter servicing her with him like they were born to serve her. 

It’s so convincing that one of Voldemort’s suspected higher-ups even seems impressed.

“Tell me, how long have they been yours,” she asks, admiring Sirius and Potter kneeling, heads bowed, unfortunately hard, awaiting Evans’ command on either side of her.

Evans hums.  “Not long, but I am… extremely talented in getting men to do what I want.”

Sirius couldn’t even refute her because he’d heard the stories of the men trailing after her wanting more, getting denied, and yet, pining in the distance.  It’s a talent that he could’ve easily fallen victim to if he wasn’t so determined to not let anything distract him from being a better person than his so-called family and well, she was terrible to him just because he gave her a run for her money (the same reason he’s never slept with Potter before).

Yet, now, he finds himself looking forward to the next time they have sex – to prove themselves or otherwise. 

The woman hums.  “You can have room 3127.  It’s setup for you and two pets, and we’ll expect you to come play tomorrow night after dinner.”

“No fun before then?” Evans questions. 

The woman grins, “You’re more than welcome to watch the fun on the magical screen in your room and of course, there’s no stopping you from having fun in your room with your pets, but you’re not allowed on the floor just after the first test.”

“Understood,” Evans states.  “I’m sure my pets and I can entertain ourselves tonight.”

There’s a little more back and forth with the woman before Evans commands them to lead the way on their hands and knees down the hallway to the magic elevator and to their room.  Her bag is magicked to the room, and of course, pets don’t get luggage.  

It takes far too long before they get to the safety of the room.  Despite this, they already agreed to stay in character in case they’re being watched… that had been Sirius’ idea.  Not because he would like to stay in character although Evans being in charge is quite… well, it’s doing it for him in a way that … he’d rather not think about why, but because it’s dangerous to slip out of character while undercover.

They didn’t put it passed Voldemort to spy on new people entering this club or what-have-you and they aren’t about to risk their position this soon.

Evans orders Potter to draw her a bath and once he disappears, pushes Sirius on his back on the bed.  She climbs on top of him and then uses her hair to protect them as she whispers, “You did well, Pet.”

She’s smart enough to have cast a spell for privacy, but still careful enough that she doesn’t give anything away.  He can’t help the way his cock twitches at the praise or the audible groan at her words.  Sirius is well aware that he’s discovered a praise kink of his over the last few days.

“Thank you, Mistress.  I am to please.”

“Good, then, I expect you to take care of my other pet as a show for me while I’m in the bath.”

Sirius nearly groans at her words.  He knows that she likes making him service Potter, he just can’t figure out why.  It’s not like they both don’t know how much of dream come true this is for Potter, getting the two most desirable people in the department to have sex with.  Plus, he’s not exactly oblivious to Potter’s terrible flirting and while previously he thought Potter was just messing with him, these last few days suggest otherwise, and he’s sure that’s exactly why Evans loves the focus be on pleasing Potter over Sirius (when it’s not on her).  That and… he’s embarrassed that he can come without being touched (and Evans loves that she can order him to do that).

 She raises her eyebrows at him, but before anything more could be said, Potter enters the room.  

“Your bath is ready, Mistress.”

She kisses Sirius before shuffling off of him and ordering them to follow her into the bath, but Sirius doesn’t follow right away… because she kissed him… for no reason.  It’s not like anyone could see them with the hair in the way….

Was there something going on there, he wonders?

***

Lily tries not to think too much about that kiss.  It’s not like she hasn’t kissed both Potter and Black numerous times in the last few days ‘as practice’, and it’s not like she never imagined telling them both to put their money where their mouth is or kissing them. 

It’s not like their kisses weren’t ten times better than she imagined. 

It’s that… she’s not supposed to want this.  It’s just fun for the mission.  That’s all.

She shouldn’t want more regardless of an audience or practice…

She needs to get her shit together.

No feelings, just sex.

It’s for the best.

***

As another night ends with fun with Lily and Sirius, James can’t help that he’s rather enjoying this mission.  There’s a part of him that doesn’t want this mission to end, but he knows that they’re getting closer and closer to the end of the mission. 

The three of them of spent the better part of the last month working their way up the levels of Voldemort’s sex club and even when they aren’t performing for others and even though they could probably find a way to gain some privacy in their own room. 

He’s half-sure Sirius has figured out how to get the privacy, yet when the door closes behind them and Sirius gets to his feet to kiss James up against the wall, he’s sure that either way this isn’t for whoever may be watching.

James lets out a shuttering breath when Sirius pulls back and starts to suck a hickey onto his neck.  His hands wandering down James’ chest to his cock, which is exposed in this string-like ‘underwear’ that they had to put on today.  James couldn’t understand how this could even count as underwear, but it does, and he groans.

Sirius’ touch is something he’s gotten used to and really started to crave and enjoy.  He can’t help closing his eyes as he gives into Sirius’ efforts.

He feels like he’s melted goo as Sirius moves his sucking and kissing down James’ body to his cock.  For some reason, Sirius really loves sucking James’ cock and although James has returned the favor, it’s not nearly as often as he receives.

He knows… if they are being watched that he still needs permission from Lily, especially when he gets closer to coming and there’s a thrum that runs through his collar. 

It’s a reminder. 

His eyes snap open and Lily’s laying on the bed, looking hot as hell, dressed in a softer teddy than she uses outside the room.  She’s also looking quite amused by her pets playing together not at her command.

“Oh?  Remembered me, have you?” she teases.  “Go on, then.  Beg for what you want.”

“Please please, Mistress.  Can’t we – Can’t I – please.”  His last plea comes out a bit strangled, which clearly pleases her. 

“Go on, then, come for me, my pets.”

James needs no further encouragement as he comes down Sirius’ throat and watches as his hand works furiously to come moments later. 

“That’s my good boys.”

It takes a few moments for them to catch their breaths before James helps Sirius to his feet and they move over to join her on the bed. 

The second they do, there’s a wave of magic and James knows it’s a brief spell to protect them for the mission.

She’s smiling.  “If you two hadn’t been so horny, you might’ve realized that we have a message.”

“Two actually,” James says, eyeing the notes.

One was from Voldemort inviting them to a special club members party in two days’ time and the other from Moody.  He’s been made aware from a spy in the ranks that had been mum for too long that their best shot to move on the mission. 

There’s a part of James that is upset this is almost over, especially when Sirius breathes a sigh of relief.

“It’s almost over.”

Lily nods.  “We’re in a good place and we’ve done our jobs and we need to talk about Moody’s plan.  It involves us getting arrested just in case things go haywire with the sting, then we can still play our parts.”

Sirius looks uneasy at that.

“It’s going to be fine, Sirius.”

“That’s easy for you to say.”

He doesn’t have to explain, they all know that despite being the top three of all of their classes and that they’re all on par with each other, Sirius had to fight to be a member of the aurors and basically couldn’t make a single mistake for fear of losing everything.   

All because of his last name.  Which, admittedly, James used to hold against him, too, but he’s learned that he’s very different to the rest of his family.

“Hey, we’re not going to let them railroad you,” Lily offers.  “James and I, we’ve got your back.”

It’s clear that Sirius doesn’t quite believe her, so James jumps in to assure him as well.

“Yeah, we’re your friends, now, and we’ve all been in this together so… we won’t let them be difficult for you.”

Sirius looks between James and Lily.  “We’re friends now?”

James shrugs and looks at Lily.  “I think so, you?”

Lily nods.  “I do, too.  In fact, I was kind of enjoying what was going on here and well…”

James can’t hide his surprise and delight.  “Really?”

Sirius laughs.  “Am I that talented that you can’t get enough of me?”

Lily blushes.  “I can’t be the only one enjoying this and wanting… more, but I can do without the ego.”

James nods.  “Yeah, me too.”

Sirius grins.  “Then, I really hope that we win this sooner rather than later.”

***

The mission was a success.

It takes a few days, but Sirius is relieved that they didn’t try to railroad him like he’d been expecting since Lily revealed that they were expected to get arrested in case the war hadn’t ended with the mission and they needed to stay undercover.

Just like they promised, Lily and James, his new friends, stood up for him and now, they were celebrating at the ministry party for the end of the war. 

Lauded as heroes, Sirius cemented his place on the right side of the war and now gets the opportunity to move up in the aurors whereas before, he wouldn’t stand a chance. 

He’s feeling pretty good right now. 

Even if he’s standing off to the side watching James and Lily dancing together. 

There’s a part of him that can’t believe that he went from hating them to … wanting to date them.  Although he’ll settle for friends with benefits.

A voice beside him asks, “So, how long do you think it’ll be before those two get married?”

He turns to see the voice belongs to a ministry worker in the Department of Magical Creatures, Lupin. 

Sirius shrugs, trying to ignore the ice water in his veins.  They both could easily fall in love and Sirius would probably be on the outskirts.  He might be good at sex and benefits for them, but that doesn’t mean they’d ever want to date him. 

“I wouldn’t hazard a guess.”

He could guess, though, given how quickly the sex melted the animosity between them and they’re already friends with benefits. 

Maybe he should bow out of the situation if others think they’ll get together now. 

Before Lupin could press further, James and Lily come over, and James says, “Come dance with us.”

He can’t deny them, obviously, and he’ll put the idea out of his mind for now.  It’s time for a celebration.  He’ll deal with it later.

***

Later, turned out to be a few weeks past the end of the war.

Lily had invited him over to her place and he knows that James is invited, too. 

She told him that there was something that she and James needed to talk to him about and he figures that they want to let him down easy. 

So, he’s going to enjoy some sort of ‘breakup sex’ and hopefully, things won’t be too awkward at work.

He arrives five minutes before the time Lily invited him over for and as she answers the door, he sees that she’s in a hot red dress that elicits, “Damn,” from him before he can even form a hello.

Lily laughs.  “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

She gives him a light peck on the lips before gesturing him in.

James is standing by her kitchen table, which is set with three plates, a white tablecloth, a rose and some candles. 

He approaches and kisses Sirius, as well, before he gestures for him to sit.

“This looks…”

Sirius isn’t sure what word would be best here, but it looks like some sort of romantic date.

“It’s a date,” Lily says, moving to sit at her plate.  “Please sit.”

“I –” he starts.  “I don’t want to be let down easy, if you two are dating and you don’t want me around anymore –”

“That’s not it, at all,” James states.  “Please, we –”

“We want to –” Lily takes a deep breath.  “– date as a threesome.”

Her words cause him to fall into the chair set for him.  “A threesome?  You want to date me?”

James lets out a little laugh.  “Of course we do.  Why wouldn’t we?”

Sirius shrugs as Lily nods her agreement.  “I – well, everyone has been talking for weeks about how great of a pair you two are and that, well, doesn’t include me.”

“We’ve never much cared for whatever anyone else thinks,” Lily says.  “We want you.”

“… if you’ll have us.”

Sirius grins.  “Yeah, I – I want you, both of you.”

Lily and James smile and cheer.

Lily lifts her goblet.  “Then, here’s to our first date.”

“Cheers to that.”

Jilypad as treasure hunters has been in my mind for a while, so I’m sharing my vision.

“Sirius, hand me the replica. Lily, how are we looking?”

“Still clear. I think that cave-in we caused still has them stumped.”

“Good,” James moves the light wrapped around his head so it’s shining down, illuminating their prize of the month.

“You really think this is worth hundreds of thousands?” Sirius leans dangerously close to the chalice on the pedestal. (Luckily he has his hair pulled away from his face - in a ponytail that makes him look unfairly sexy, James might add.) “Looks a bit scuffed to me.”

James chuckles. “It’s got the charm which comes with age, that’s all.”

“It’s pure gold and embellished with pink sapphires, desired by at least four ministries around the world, and you both know it.” Lily scoffs from her lookout position.

“Sure, sure.” Sirius is smiling as he hands James their mock chalice.

“Alright, here we go,” James is careful as he makes the switch, lest the pedestal be weight sensitive. When it’s in place he asks, “Measuring tape?”

Sirius holds it up for James to see, and then begins flitting around, making note of the circumference of the Chalice.

“All good. It matches with the original measurements.”

James nods, and turns to Lily. “We’ve got it, Lils.”

“Good. I can hear voices in the distance, so let's get out of here.”

“Ah, wait. Just before we go,” Sirius reaches out to James, pulling him in for a kiss. When their lips part he pushes James towards Lily who both laugh and eagerly press their lips together.

When they separate, Lily jumps towards Sirius, and James watches them fondly, saving the image of his two favorite people to his memories.

With the sound of voices rising, the three of them slink out through a different exit.

The ‘missing chalice’ makes the front page news for an entire month.

Jilypad Week 2024 - Day 7

Trapped Together

[AO3]

“Please wait!” Lily calls towards the closing lift door as she stumbles though the main doors of the building into the entrance hall.

She wanted to be here early, at least fifteen minutes before her scheduled interview, but today of all days she had overslept a little. Maybe she shouldn't have stayed up so late to do some more research.

Then, in her haste to get ready on time still, she had poured her coffee down her new blouse which meant she had to change and is without any caffeine this morning. Which is not exactly ideal when you have an important interview and try to impress people so they will let you work on their project.

And on top of that her bus had been late.

So she's cutting it close right now. She's not too late yet, but not having to wait for the lift would do wonders for her anxiety.

The lift doors do indeed stop and reopen when a hand from inside the cabin darts out to keep them open for her. With a sigh of relieve Lily hurries across the entrance hall and steps into the elevator.

“Thank you!” She beams a bit breathless at the tall, bespectacled guy in front of her as the lift doors close behind her. With a little jolt the lift sets into motion.

“No problem,” the guy smiles back at her, one hand going to his already messy, dark hair. He has a nice smile that lights up his whole face, including his hazel eyes.

“Where can we let you out?” a second guy asks her, the only other person in the lift. He's tall as well, even a little taller than the first one, with equally dark hair, only that his is longer and falls with a casual grace around his handsome face instead of sticking up in all directions. Lily can't help but notice the striking light grey of his eyes.

She tries not to stare though and looks past him at the board on the side of the cabin that has all the buttons for the different floors of the building. The button for the ninth floor is already lighting up. “Oh, same as you, it seems.”

Marauders Inc., situated in an old brick building just outside of the main buzz of London. She can't wait to meet the founders, James Potter and Sirius Black, who seem to be real geniuses in their fields, potions and plants respectively. From her research Lily knows they should be around her age but it's hard to believe that. In the two years they have run their little company they have already come up with a potion that revolutionized the treatment of werewolves, making it possible for them to keep their conscious minds during their transformation.

While it was a groundbreaking discovery is seems they are not done yet with their work on it, trying to get the potion to perform even better, reducing intake times and even trying to advance the flavour component. Lily is kind of impressed by that. A lot of people would have left it at that and moved on. People tend to think werewolves should be happy there is a possibility for their condition to be more endurable at all, no one should care about the taste.

Their newest project though is what makes Lily really eager to work with them. Their research on a dragon pox potion that would reduce the possibility of death in older patients. The death rate in that age group compared to younger ones is something that has fascinated Lily for a while now. It's one of the magical mysteries she feels compelled to dissect until she understands every little part of it, and then find a solution.

And Marauders Inc. seems to be exactly the right place to let her do all she wants. Now she only has to get to her interview in time and impress the founders somehow.

But since Lily is having a day she shouldn't be surprised when the next disaster finds her.

The lift suddenly stops with a jolt, far away from the ninth floor. Glasses Guy frowns and turns around, pushing the button again. Nothing happens.

Tall, Dark and Handsome sighs. “Again?”

“Seems like it.” Glasses Guy gives her an apologetic smile. “Old building. Comes with the territory, I guess.”

He pulls out his wand and with a wave of it a big silvery dog stands in the middle of the lift cabin. “We're stuck in the lift again, Moony. Can you get Mundungus to take a look at it? Thanks!” The dog patronus tilts its head to the side, wags its tail, and then vanishes though the ceiling.

“Well, this will take a while,” Tall, Dark and Handsome says and lifts the cardboard tray he's carrying. It holds four to-go cups. “Can I offer you a coffee while we wait? Just not that one in the front, it's an abomination.”

“It's not,” Glasses Guy protests and plucks said cup from the tray.

Tall, Dark and Handsome raises an eyebrow at him. “Four pumps of vanilla, three pumps of hazelnut. Love, that's asking for a medical condition.”

Glasses Guy just grins and takes a big gulp from his cup.

Tall, Dark and Handsome rolls his eyes and turns back to Lily. “Anyway, there is a Dirty Chai, black coffee, and something that's more milk and sugar than anything else.”

“I'll take the Chai, if that's no trouble,” Lily says and takes the cup gratefully as Glasses Guy passes it on.

“None at all,” he says with a wink. “Just means Peter will have to go out and get his own coffee later.”

“He'll survive,” Tall, Dark and Handsome says and picks up one of he remaining two cups before setting the tray down on the floor. He pulls his wand out of the back pocket of his jeans and flicks it at the cup left on the tray to keep the coffee warm while they wait. “So, you said you were heading to the Marauders floor?”

*

By the time the lift starts to move again Lily's chai is gone. They have talked for at least half an hour about everything from Lily's potion portfolio to views on werewolf rights to her half-kneazel, Sprout, and she feels a lot more relaxed. The guys are really charming and funny and interesting and Lily wouldn't mind seeing more of them. Since they work for Marauders Inc. too she really hopes she can get the job, even if she's horribly late for her interview now.

The lift finally stops again on the ninth floor and the doors open with a ding. A sandy-haired guy greets them on the other side with a smile. “You really have the worst kind of luck with that thing.”

“I wouldn't say that.” Glasses Guy grins at her. Lily can feel a small blush rising to her cheeks.

“Here,” Tall, Dark and Handsome says to the sandy-haired guy and hands him the last remaining cup from the tray. “Peter's got donated for a good cause.” He nods his head into her direction and that's when sandy-haired guy notices her too.

“Hi, I'm Lily Evans,” she says and shakes his hand. “Sorry, I'm really late for my interview. If you could possibly point me into the right direction, that would be really nice.”

He looks at her, then at her two lift companions. “Well,” he says with a smile and points at them. “That would be the direction, I guess.”

Confused Lily looks at Glasses Guy who holds out his hand for her to shake, a broad grin on his lips. “James Potter. Really nice to meet you, Miss Evans.”

Lily takes his hand automatically and shakes it. Her brain needs a second to catch up on what he just said. Her eyes go wide and she looks over to Tall, Dark and Handsome. James chuckles. “That absolute disaster of a human would be my partner, Sirius Black.”

“Charmed,” Sirius says with a grin and shakes her hand as well. Lily just stares at them.

“So, Miss Evans, when can you start?”

Jilypadweek2024 - Day 7 - What Wants a Normal Marriage?

@jilypadweek

Prompt - Trapped Together

When Sirius gets a letter that makes him question why he's hiding with Jily, despite their three-person marriage, and out there fighting for the Order.

AO3

***

It didn’t take very long for them to realize that Sirius as their secret keeper and staying involved in the war was a bad idea.  It’s not that James or Lily thought that he couldn’t take care of himself, it’s just that Sirius is just as much a Potter as Lily is and he’s therefore in as much danger as she is. 

He’d tried to argue that since no one recognized the third person in a marriage that he was fine and Dumbledore seemed to think that he was not in any danger, but James and Lily had been adamant that they didn’t want their husband to be at risk when they couldn’t be there to protect him. 

That’s how he ends up trapped, too, by the war and the prophecy and James and Lily can’t help noticing that he’s taking being ‘trapped’ worse than they are.

It’s in the way that he’s spending more time as Padfoot.

It’s in the way that he sneaks out of bed just to sit in the window and stare at the stars. 

It’s in the way that he suggests sneaking out of the house just for a bit.

Naturally, they know that they have to help their husband in any way that they can, which is why, in the middle of the night, finding his part of the bed empty, James goes downstairs to find him (and Lily follows).

He’s sitting in the window, a letter clenched in his hand. 

“What is it, Si?” James asks as he moves beside his husband, and Lily moves to sit across from him. 

“Just a letter reminding me that I have a duty to the Order, and I shouldn’t be ‘taking advantage’ of the situation here to ���get out of doing my duty’.”

James frowns as Lily plucks the letter from Sirius and reads it for herself.  “That bloody arsehole.  He knows that you’re just as married to us as we are to each other.  The prophecy called for Harry’s parents that thrice-defied him… that includes you… you also defied him, and you are his parent, too.  You’re just as much a dad as James is.”

Sirius shrugs.  “Yeah, well, not according to him.  Being ‘married’ and yes, it’s in quotes to you two doesn’t make me a parent apparently.  I guess only blood counts.”

“That’s bloody bullshit and you know that, don’t you?” James questions, angry at the letter writer.  “Magic considers you as part of this family – you are Harry’s Dad, and you are our partner.”

Sirius shakes his head.  “I know that logically.”

“And yet?” Lily prompts.

“I feel guilty that I should be out there fighting, and Harry is doing just fine with you two here to protect him –”

“The biggest protection we have is you.  If you go out there, you’re risking yourself, yeah, but if you get caught you could end up dead and that breaks the secret and we’ll be vulnerable.”

“And unhappy because our husband is gone,” Lily adds.

Sirius sighs.  “You guys might go back to a normal marriage…”

“We don’t want a normal marriage, Si,” James states, plainly.

“We want you,” Lily states, firmly.  “The three of us together – I’d go insane with just James.”

Sirius laughs.  “Me too.”

“Oi!” James says, faking outrage.  They tease him about this all time, especially when they first started dating.  If it gets him love by his two favorite people, he’s more than okay with it.  Especially when it makes Sirius smile.

And Sirius is smiling.

“I guess I should just stop bothering to read his letters.  Half the time they accuse me of being the traitor and turning on my husband and wife because ‘I’m a Black’ even though I’m not – I’m a Potter and I was disinherited…”

“Most of the Order just suck when it comes to you, but that doesn’t mean that they’re right in any way.  We need you here, Si,” James assures him.  “We’d go crazy trapped here without you.”

“I know,” Sirius admits.  “I just – I was letting him get in my head.”

“Well, don’t,” Lily states.  “Because we don’t want you running out on us.”

He takes the letter back from Lily and vanishes it with his wand.  “I’m glad that I have two people that love me, and I think it’s time to show you both how much you mean to me.”

James grins.  “I definitely like the sound of that.”

“Me too.”

“Good.”
