The news that James was Head Boy for their seventh and final year at Hogwarts was met with a fair amount of surprise by nearly the entire school. In terms of grades, it really was no surprise that the Marauder had scored the position. However, in simply giving James the title of Marauder, one wondered just how he had become Head Boy. Looking at James in terms of behaviour, he certainly was at the bottom of the list of candidates for the position.
James saw this new title as a chance to make mischief without any repercussions. Couldn't take points from one's self, now could you? He was beginning to see all sorts of possibilities with this new position of power.
Besides, as James pointed out nearly bouncing out of his seat on the train, Lily was Head Girl. She would have to talk to him then. Of course, where James was concerned, 'talk' was a euphemism for 'sex' but who was Remus to quibble on a simple misuse of terminology?
As for Remus, he wasn't too upset that he didn't have the Head Boy spot as he still was named a Prefect for Gryffindor. When mentioning this to James it was as if the wind had gone out of his sails.
"You're not going to start taking points from me, are you Moony?" James asked, wringing his hands. "I mean... it's the perfect chance to get the really wicked pranks in we always wanted to before but were too worried that you'd actually take points off."
Remus cleared his throat.
"Uh... I mean..." James tried to amend, flushing and rubbing the back of his neck; a habit he had whenever he was nervous.
"You made your point," Remus replied. "Do what you will, I won't complain."
James's face lit up as if Christmas had come early this year and Father Christmas had brought him everything on his wish list. Remus simply shook his head. The smallest things made James happy. It was almost endearing.
"Moony?"
"Yes, Prongs?"
James rubbed the back of his neck again and instantly Remus raised a brow. Something was up and he wasn't sure if he liked it.
"Would you... erm... show me the ropes?" Remus raised his other eyebrow almost to his hairline. James continued on quickly. "I mean... you've been a Prefect for two years now and this is your third and you know everything and I was hoping you could show me things... like the Prefect's Bath," James said in a rush.
"So you can take Lily there eventually?" Remus asked, hiding a laugh.
"ActuallyIwantedtogowithyoufirst," James said in one breath.
Remus wished he had a third eyebrow to raise.
"You... you what?" He asked, his mouth hanging open.
"I mean... just this once... because I know you and Sirius... and I just... wanted to know..." James rubbed the back of his neck again and Remus knew if he didn't stop soon the skin there would be rubbed raw.
"What, do you want to know what it's like with a bloke before you shack up with Lily? That is, if she'll ever have you?" Remus spat, narrowing his eyes.
James shook his head. "No... because I trust you... and because... I like you, Moony."
Remus hadn't been expecting that. He took a step backwards and before he could think about it, he found himself nodding rather than protesting James's advances.
Letting out a sigh of relief, James smiled and fell into step behind Remus; letting the other boy lead the way to the Prefect's bath. After locating the right door and giving the password, Remus entered the bath, praying that perhaps there were others here and he would get out of this 'experimentation' with James.
And as always, the prayers of Remus John Lupin went unanswered.
An empty bath awaited the two boys. Remus sighed and gestured to James. "Well, here it is. The Prefect's Bath."
James's eyes widened. "Bloody brilliant is what this is."
Remus shrugged. "The effect wears off after a while. Showers are in the back corner but mostly everyone uses the bath. It's about as deep as a swimming po--"
Breaking off abruptly, Remus's mouth dropped as James stripped down completely nude. He swallowed hard, unable to keep from looking his best mate over completely. Maybe, and this thought scared him the most, this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
James dove into the bath, giving Remus a spectacular view of his arse. He took in a shaky breath, finally stripping himself. Remus walked to the edge of the tub and slipped into the water rather than diving in like James did. Finishing his lap of the pool, James turned against the other wall and sped back towards Remus. Once he reached him, he treaded water, his hands on either side of Remus effectively pinning him against the left wall of the bath.
"Bloody brilliant," James whispered again.
Remus nodded. "I know. Though like I said, after coming here a few times, the effect isn't as spec--"
"I wasn't talking about the bath this time," James replied leaning forward for a kiss.
Sucking in a breath, Remus returned the kiss, his fingers becoming tangled in James's wet hair. Remus deepened the kiss first, his tongue hesitantly running along James's lower lip. James responded in kind, parting his lips for Remus's tongue. Clinging to each other, they sunk to the bottom of the pool both boys barely tall enough to stand in the pool and keep their heads above water.
"Are you sure about this?" Remus asked, pulling back from the kiss for a breath of air.
James nodded and exchanged positions with Remus. "I am."
Remus pushed James's mop of wet hair out of the way, placing a trail of kisses along his neck. Running his hands over his chest, Remus lightly tugged on James's earlobe with his teeth.
"Just remember to relax. Your first time in a bath like this isn't preferable, but..." Remus whispered a lubrication spell under his breath for safety's sake as it was James’s first time. He felt James sag against him and he had to hold him up against the wall of the bath as he began to push into him.
Remus could feel James tense as the head of his cock entered his arse. He lightly kissed his shoulder whispering to relax every so often and James did as Remus asked. Within a few moments, Remus was completely sheathed inside James. Careful not to go too fast too quickly, he began to build up a slow rhythm between them.
"Let me know if it hurts," Remus said, tugging on James's earlobe with his teeth again, and then kissing a spot behind his ear that Sirius always loved.
"Will," James said through clenched teeth. "But it feels bloody brilliant."
Remus chuckled and began to move a bit faster inside James. James's hips bucked back against Remus's; meeting his every thrust. The soft pants of the two boys filled the room and Remus was glad they had yet to wake the portrait of the mermaid on the wall. Would she be surprised if she woke now...
James came first, Remus barely needed to touch his cock. Burying himself deep inside James, hitting his prostate with each thrust, Remus finally came with a low moan; collapsing against James's back.
After a moment, when both boys had finally caught their breath, Remus pulled out of James with a final kiss to his shoulder and climbed out of the pool in search of towels for them both. James remained in the pool for a moment still looking slightly dazed. Remus couldn't help but smile, extending a hand to James to help him out of the pool and giving him a towel.
"This doesn't make me a poof, right?" James asked, drying himself off.
Remus chuckled. "No James," he replied. "You're not the first boy who's experimented in the showers with a best mate."
James paused, looking Remus over with a smile. "So, it's still experimenting if we wanted to try... say... what it was like in the dorms?"
Crossing the bath, Remus wrapped James in his arms, devouring his mouth with a kiss.
