Leather Bound
Entry 1
Well the hype from all the holidays is slowly drowning, though we still have new years to look forward too. The marauders are throwing a New Years Eve party.
That should be interesting….
Its going to be held out on the Quidditch Pitch.
Yes, the Potter's Quidditch Pitch.
In their back yard.
With all the equipment, the real sized hoops, bleachers, even a fucking lighted score board.
Anyway, the party should, as Sirius put it, really bitchin. Just about everyone at Hogwarts is invited, even some Slytherin. Of course not Sirius's brother.
Or his brothers best friend…
Considering that's why Sirius and Charlotte aren't talking…
Still.
I know I'm probably really biased on the whole thing, but I think Sirius is being a complete dick.
I mean, Charlotte dated Josh before they were together, before anything happened between her and Sirius, and god only knows who Sirius has had sex with in the past. So really he no room to talk.
And to tell you the truth, I don't know if finding resistance in you is really all that possible when friggin Josh Zabini is trying to seduce you. I hear he is one fine sweet talker.
Not that I'd need him, since James and I are going so smoothly.
I just hope Sirius and Charlotte get back on track soon, its really making my holiday tense and awkward.
Jesus that sounded vain.
What can I say, James has spoiled me.
January 1st
Sirius was right. That party was bitchin.
Wow, what a night.
So it was New Years Eve and I was getting ready….
Flashback!
I had just finished putting on my mascara, when someone knocked on the door.
"Hey Lils, you ready?"
"Come see for yourself."
James opened the door with a wide grin on his face. He wolf whistled.
"Damn."
I spun around for him, showing him all of my outfit. I was wearing a black mini dress, with a back that was strung up like a corset but bare besides the string. Thank god it was going to be heated at the Pitch. I had to wear flats because it was going to be on grass, but they were a bright red.
"You like it?" I asked, with a glint in my eye.
"Do I like it???" He looked me up and down, a look of lust shinning in his eyes. He ran toward me and I squealed, giggling like mad. He kissed behind my ear, his voice a notch lower. "Hell yes I like it." I giggled more as his hand caressed my stomach, not too low or high, perfectly respectable. "I just don't like that everyone else will be able to see you in this."
I turned my face to look at him, unable to shake the smile on my face, "And whys that?"
He gave me a look clearly asking if I was serious. I knew why he didn't like me wearing this, he was a very jealous person.
He had in fact threatened/beat up guys since 3rd year for me.
That thought just made me smile more.
How terrible.
"Alright, enough screwing around in there!" Sirius said walking by James's door.
"He's really grumpy isn't it?" I asked.
"He's just trying to make up for all the bull shit I put him through when we would fight." We left the house still laughing.
***********Around 11:40************
The music was so loud that the tall hoops above us were vibrating with each beat of the music. There were hundreds of people all around me, dancing, singing, eating, drinking, talking, and some half dressed girl in a fairy uniform was throwing glitter.
You could obliviously tell Sirius had made the guest list.
James and I were dancing, though grinding would be the more appropriate word, not that many took notice because they had already seen us doing this at my birthday party, though some people are just snotty bitches and gave me terrible looks.
They happened to be on the James Potter fan club.
Shocker there, really.
I rocked my hips against James in a delightful way, making him buck into me. I watched as his chin rested on my shoulder and he bit his lip. "Damn, with what you're doing with your hips I'm going to have the best fucking year out of all these peoples' put together…"
I laughed brought his hands to my stomach, dancing again, shaking my hips to the quick beat.
I looked around and saw Melanie getting down.
She must have had a cup of the wrong punch…(I had convinced Sirius not to spike one of the punch bowls, not everyone needed to get shit faced. Though the bowl with firewhiskey was almost empty…)
Sirius was up in the stands, dancing so sexily it should have been illegal, but what was horrible was that he was dancing like this with another girl. Her name was Rose. She had long brown wavy hair that covered up her backless halter top that clung to all her curves. Sirius's hand were all over her, and she kept swinging her head back and forth, putting her long locks in front of Sirius, shoving her boobs in his face.
I searched for Charlotte , I knew she would be with a guy.
And I was not disappointed.
Charlotte was dancing, on the opposite side of Sirius and his bimbo, with Damien Franks.
He had graduated a few years ago, I believe hes around 19…or 20…not sure.
All I know is that Damien was a sweet guy and not only that he was one fine piece of man.
That's my girl.
She looked like nothing was wrong, that she was just having a good time, but I could see her looking over in the direction of Sirius occasionally and when her head turned that way she would dance faster and grind harder.
A new slower song began to play, and James and I were moving to face each other for a slow dance.
"Excuse me?" A guy I didn't know asked, "Mind if I cut in?" I shrugged and nodded at James.
James checked his watch, I still can't believe he wears one, its very un-marauder of him.
He looked at me, "You better be in my arms by 12, this bozo better not kiss you at midnight …" He winked and grinned then walked away.
"Is that your boyfriend?" His deep husky voice asked. He had dark, rusty skin and dark brown eyes that looked like I could look into them forever. He towered over me at least two head, he was, undeniably, sexy.
"I don't even know your name."
"Hayden Cross."
"Lily Evans. How do you know Sirius?"
"I'm here with Damien, I'm his cousin."
"Did you go to Hogwarts?"
"No, I went to Durmstrang."
I squeezed his biceps that my hands were resting on. "Is working out a requirement there? The only Durmstrang men I've met are really built."
He smirked at this, and I hadn't meant for that sentence to turn out that way, it was just one of those things that just kinda pop into your mind and you have no control about how it just comes out of your mouth.
"No, we just like to impress beautiful red heads."
"All of you?" I smirked now.
"No, just this guy names Hayden that I know."
"Oh I see…well that guy over there, he is my boyfriend."
"What a lucky guy."
"No, I'm a lucky girl."
He smiled, "So do I not have any chance then?"
"Nope, sorry."
"Its alright," He dipped me while the song hit its climax, and whispered to me, "I'm not easily discouraged." He put me upright again and kissed my hand, "Lily Evans." He bowed his head and walked away.
I'm not going to lie, I felt a little light headed at that little encounter.
I looked up and saw James looking at me. He looked worried.
"Lily?"
I looked up at him.
10….9…
The crowd was beginning to shout the countdown to the new year.
…8…
He took my face in his hands, his eyes were searching mine for something, I didn't know what.
…7...6…
"I've just gotten you, don't let me loose you already."
….5….4…
"You'll never loose me."
…3…
"You cant promise that."
…2…
"But no matter what, I can promise I'll love you forever."
….Happy New Year!!!
He pulled me in for the most intimate kiss we'd ever shared.
"That's a long time angel." He whispered, throwing my words at me just as I had done.
I smiled at him as the fireworks exploded above us, he wrapped his warm arms around me.
"It isn't long enough."
"Happy New Years Sweetheart." He whispered to me.
"This is going to be a year isn't it James?"
He looked down at me and seemed to find whatever he had been searching for.
"The very best,"
Yay the sequel! I hope you liked the little sappy-ness there at the end and the little bit of trouble that is blooming above the happy little couple…you could be reading a little bit more of this Hayden Cross….
So yes I realized that it is Monday.
It's the holidays, give me a break ;)
Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Love,
Jenna
