Letting the fingers of one hand gently tangle in his hair, Lily's other hand found his side, grasping at the fabric of his dress robes briefly before her arm wrapped around him fully, leaning into him while he kissed her.

"Do you want to go back?" The question came mumbled against his lips, breathed out between kisses, and completely meant to be refused. At least, she hoped. It was stupid sure, but she didn't want to go anywhere.

"Not at all," he murmured against her lips before pulling back just a fraction to look at her. "Do you?" His voice was low and huskier, and hoped that she wouldn't want to stop this or want to go anywhere other than right here.

He leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to one cheek, then the other before pressing a soft kiss to her jaw. Being here, with her, he didn't want to be anywhere else.

Her heart skipped a beat when he turned her question around on her, using a tone of voice she thought she remembered from the library when they had been seconds away from doing exactly what they were doing right now. "I could be convinced to stay longer," she replied, attempting to sound airy and careless even though her heart was hammering away in her chest.

Tilting her head she let her cheek rest against his temple before she turned enough to kiss the side of his face. "I still think you're a wanker you know," Lily added after a moment, hiding a smirk as she nipped at his earlobe.

"Yeah," he asked in that same tone as he nuzzled her jaw. Sirius hummed before snorting at her comment. "Of course," he agreed before lifting his head so he could kiss her again, resting his free hand on her hip.

It was a moment, maybe two when Sirius heard a thud coming from the other side of the classroom door which caused him to pause. He hoped that they would move onto a different classroom and not bother with this one.

Running her hand through his hair again, Lily kept her other arm wrapped around him, all too happy to catch his lips in a kiss once more. Her hand fell to his side, trailing upwards shifting closer to the edge of the desk to get a little closer to him.

The thump broke whatever spell making out in a classroom had cast over her and she stiffened some, pulling away from him just enough to peer nervously over his shoulder and towards the door, jumping as it swung open, two students rushing in holding hands just as she slid off the desk, landing on her feet but bumping against Sirius as she did. "Right I ought to," clearing her throat as the two new arrivals looked far less mortified and far more disappointed that this classroom wasn't free, Lily didn't dare look at Sirius as she scurried past everyone and out of the classroom.

Sirius stiffened as the door opened and he glanced back toward them. "Shite," he muttered but stepped backward so she could leave. He slid a hand through his already disheveled hair. "Be sure to lock the door after I leave, yeah," he said to the couple before leaving the room, shutting the door behind him.

He leaned heavily against the wall for a moment next to the door and started to think about just about anything he could (from his mother's yelling to Peter's snoring to his cousins who marry (and shag) other cousins). Anything to will away his very uncomfortable situation.

Finally, he shrugged off the wall and slowly made his way down the hall, unsure if he really wanted to return to the Ball or grab a quick smoke somewhere. His choice though was made for him by the time he returned toward the area of the ball. "Padfoot! There you are, where have you been?" Well, he could stick around for a few more minutes, he supposed.
