He didn't have the map on him. He didn't NEED the map anymore. He knew every corner of this place and seemed to be good at avoiding people with out it. He didn't need James's cloak either. For some reason, he wanted to be impressive to Lily, so taking the led was easy.
He knew if he really wanted to impress he could shift forms, but one, he was sure she would not be impressed by THAT, and another he learned it against the laws of the wizarding world, for Remus, not for impressing young ladies. it would be so easy though.
When she squinted at him, he cracked a smile back, starting to dart off the way they needed to go, paused, lunged back in and took her hand, leaning in to say "Stay close." And pulled her, a joyous feeling radiating off him, like a dog. Like a Padfoot.
He moved them through the halls with ease, making her paused only twice, and hide just once in a cubby behind a statue when he thought a teacher was coming. It was from there that he took her to the Kitchen Entrance.
He leaned in close to whisper. "Know how to get in?" And nudged her. "Tickle the pear."
She began to object when he leaned back to grab her hand, but he looked so pleased with himself that the words died on her throat, replaced instead with a mystified little laugh as she allowed herself to be led further into the dark castle.
Every time she had needed to hide Lily had begun to second guess herself, but then when it was time to run again the thought left her mind. It was like she knew she was doing the wrong thing, and for once, was allowing herself the luxury of not caring. Tomorrow, she would resume her course on the straight and narrow, but tonight would be for cups of tea and bewildering moments presented by way of a young man who seemed far too thrilled with what was going on for it not to be infectious to some degree.
Lily laughed when he nudged her and she shook her head, "I know, I know," but gracious, was he excited about it, excited enough to make her chuckle again as she tickled the pear so the doorknob revealed itself. Surprising herself with her own boldness Lily didn't wait, pulling the door open and stepping inside without waiting for Sirius. She had only been to the kitchens a few times before this, but never so late at night.
