'I cannot wait to get the hell outta here' Odella's eyes glossed over the note that Kareena had inconspicuously slipped into her History of Magic text book and the blonde couldn't help but smirk a bit, Kareena, who had always been the more studious of the two, was the one who desperately wanted to get out of there, Odella, on the other hand, was going to miss Hogwarts after this year, they'd be graduated and onto bigger and better things, and she wasn't sure where she'd stand after that. She led a fairly comfortable existence, she was very intelligent without having to worry about studying, she was the Gryffindor seeker and she didn't have to worry about her parents finding her some perfect, pureblood husband, especially when right now, she wasn't even interested in marriage, not when she had all of this going for her. She eyed Kareena carefully as she noticed the girl struggling to pay attention to Professor Binns as she penned a note back to her best friend. 'Good thing this is our last class of the day and Hogsmead is this weekend.' As she finished the note, she waited for the ghost professor to turn his back before slipping it onto her friend's desk, right next to hers. Wresting her elbow on her desk and her fist beneath her chin, she caught Kareena smiling a bit at the note, although she didn't seem to think herself very attractive or extraordinary as far as appearances went, Odella had to disagree, and the fact her shirt was unbuttoned a little more than most people chose to, didn't hurt matters either. Odella's toes curled a little bit in the heels she wore, she and Kareena had been fooling around since the middle of their sixth year, Odella really didn't know what exactly had happened or who even initiated it, but after they'd shagged, they decided that, although it wasn't something completely normal for them, it was something that they should keep going, it was exhilarating, they had a connection and Merlin, did it feel good. They were lucky enough to have families that were friendly so they weren't stuck, cooped up and desperately horny over the summer. It wasn't completely about sex though, they were still best friends and decided that things needed to stay casual, neither of the girls families could figure out what was happening between them and they both deserved to date others, this was just a decent release, this was friendship taken to a new level. 'Great thing, you don't have quidditch practice today, do you?' Odella read over the note and pursed her lips into a frown, quidditch was important, she loved it, but the days that she did have practice, both girls were stuck in a state of boredom, it wasn't as though they were intensely good friends with most other Gryffindors, there was an obvious liking of them, they were their housemates, but they were closer to each other than they were to anyone else, it was almost like they were in their own little world. 'Sorry, practice after dinner till about eight, free after that and we don't have school tomorrow, drinking in the astronomy tower?' She slipped the note, grinning, although her friend was a bit more responsible, both girls were always up for a good party. 'That's not safe.' Was Kareena's instant response and although the blonde pouted at this, she knew that Kareena was right, extreme heights, plus lack of sobriety couldn't have been safe. 'Fine, find something else to do while I kick ass at quidditch.' She wrote as Professor Binns turned around, glaring at them. "Exchanging study styles, we want to be prepared for the next assignment we have, especially with N.E.W.T's coming up." Kareena lied quickly and after a moment, he seemed to recall that she was a Ravenclaw legacy—the man was ancient, of course he knew that—and let it be, finishing his lecture as the girls grinned.
"Passing notes in class, Harem?" Odella turned upon hearing James Potter's voice and she rolled her eyes, grinning at him.
"You tell him and I'll have so many detentions that you'll have to call in a replacement for next weekend's game, Potter." She whispered back and he replied with a grin, letting things be. He wouldn't rat her out, which was one of the things they had in common, they both loved quidditch too much to do anything to sacrifice the game.
"Quidditch tonight, then, James?" Sirius asked, running his hands through his hair as soon as Professor Binns had dismissed the class, giving the boys freedom to talk, like he'd seen Kareena Maxis and Odella Harem doing, he and James passed notes, however, it was much more pleasant to speak aloud, writing notes was boring and James' handwriting was the equivalent to Hippogriff scratch.
Shoving his hand into his pocket as he slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, James nodded. "Yep, we're up against Slytherin and I don't wanna see Old Snivelly's house get the satisfaction of winning, so we're gonna practice until eight." James said and Sirius rolled his eyes, typical James, head so full of quidditch that the dog animagus wondered if he could shove anything else in. The wording of that thought caused Sirius to squirm, but it wasn't entirely his fault, this was an awful dry spell, and during his final year at school, that was an extreme killjoy. He blamed Peter entirely, the boy had walked right in on he and Yvonne Capulet, right after he'd taken his pants off and Peter didn't seem to be remotely bothered by that, he sat on his bed and grinned eagerly at the two, asking them if they'd like to play quidditch or go grab a snack or do something fun with him and when they'd told him that they weren't interested and were actually in the middle of something, Peter told them just to ignore his presence and pretend that he wasn't even there, to go on with what they were doing, the damn, oblivious, little git. So, needless to say, Yvonne dressed quickly, ran out and told all of her friends about Sirius' creepy little roommate, and that left Sirius without a release for a long period of time, or at least, a release from a girl. He and James, they weren't in love or anything stupid like that, but after the awful, awkward date he'd finally went out on with Lily Evans, James had found himself in a bit of a dry spell too, for he'd pretty much denied every girl because he was certain that Lily was the one. It was all about lust, relieving themselves, and for James, it was probably also about an unnecessary ego boost because the chaser was damn good with his tongue and Sirius was unabashed about noise—thank Merlin for the silencing charm. And that silencing charm was necessary, they were obsessed with keeping things between them a secret because they were incredibly casual, this was all about relief, not some sort of emotional attachment, they didn't need Remus or Peter thinking that it was anything else, they didn't need any girls finding out, that would cause a permanent dry spell. Things had been much worse, what with the Hogsmead weekend approaching, Halloween had been a particularly difficult time for Sirius, it seemed like everyone was getting it on, on staircases, in classrooms, in bathrooms, trying desperately to ignore Moaning Myrtle and that had caused both boys to constantly pull each other up to their dormitory, pull the curtains tight, cast a silencing charm and shag mercilessly until things were better between the two, and sometimes that meant waiting a few minutes to recharge and go again, and that often meant skipping classes, which James seemed to get away with fairly easily, he was Head Boy after all.
"That's good, that means Odella will be occupied, I've been wanting to ask Kareena out to Hogsmeade for a while." Sirius said and James raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah? Good for you, I'm pretty sure she'll go with you, want me to invite Odella, we'll call it a double date?" He asked and Sirius shrugged.
"Sure you don't just want an excuse to ask her out?" Sirius asked, stating the password to the fat lady as he and James entered the Gryffindor common room. James chortled and shrugged.
"Caught me red handed, mate." He said and the two laughed as they finally got into their dormitory. They were alone and a delighted shiver ran down Sirius' spine, finally, he'd get some relief and that way, if things went well with Kareena tomorrow, he wouldn't be so anxious to come. He quickly gathered James up, running his hands back through the chaser's hair and pressing his lips down onto his. He'd obviously taken the boy by surprise, but a moment before James could react, the door slammed open and they pulled apart, just in the knick of time.
