The room was silent except for the faint sound of slow, steady breathing. As dawn approached, curious rays of sunlight peaked in through the drawn blinds, shining upon a bed strewn with tangled sheets that had surely seen more than just sleep the night before.
As the light grew brighter, the woman occupying one half of the bed began to stir, finally opening her eyes with a smile upon her face as she reminisced about her wild night, and his amazing body. Those strong arms, rock-solid abs... she could go on but why bother when she could have more of it right then. Slowly rolling over, she reached over to his side of the bed and felt...
Nothing.
"Sirius?"
"Jesus mate, another one night stand?" Exclaimed James Potter to his best friend, brother some might say, Sirius Black. "Just tell me this one actually knew it was just a fling."
"Well," Sirius began with a thoughtful look upon his handsome face. "I could tell you that Prongs, but I'm afraid I'd be stretching the truth just a tad."
James glanced at Sirius with a half-amused and half-disappointed look. It was one he directed at Sirius all too often because while James wasn't the type of guy to hop from bed to bed, (anymore that is) what Sirius did was his own business and he wasn't about to try and run his best friend's life. Instead, he just listened to Sirius's crazy stories over and over, and assumed he would decide to settle down one day.
As the pair walked through the halls of the Ministry of Magic in the direction of their offices in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Sirius continued to give James the lowdown on what had occurred the night before. They had each completed their Auror training just 6 months prior, but had already made quite a name for themselves. If they had their way, that name would be The Dream Team but so far they were the only two who had really gone for that.
"James, don't give me that look. Maybe the other times that look was acceptable, but not today. You should have seen this girl, she was gorgeous! Long blonde hair, tanned skin. All over I might add," he said with a smirk. "And let's not forget that ass."
"BLACK!" a loud, gruff voice roared and the men immediately came to the conclusion that their superior Alastor aka Mad-Eye Moody was walking directly behind them.
Sirius grimaced and James held in his laughter as they turned to face Moody, already knowing that this would not go over well.
"Can you believe that man?!" Sirius shouted angrily as he glanced upon the mountainous stack of parchment sitting before him on his desk. "Who does he think he is making me work overtime? How is it any of his business what I talk about to one of my mates? I have a date tonight at 9 and I'm barely going to have any time to get ready!"
"Padfoot," James interjected before Sirius got too far into his rant. "I mean, he is an older, more traditional kind of guy. I don't think he really appreciated you talking about some woman's sweet arse in the office halls. Considering that his entire lecture was about showing some respect for women, I'm guessing that's the lesson he's trying to teach you with this here.... enormous pile of work." James concluded, finally giving in to the laughter he had been holding back.
"Shut it Potter," said Sirius as he picked up the first of many pieces of paperwork he'd be filling out over the next few hours. "Just because you've gone soft and ended your man-whoring days early, doesn't mean that I should have to. I have loads of respect for women, I just also happen to appreciate certain... assets that some of them may possess".
He glanced up at James with a knowing look. "Don't act like you can't relate. I remember the days when James Potter was a legend, competing with me in 4th year for most number of snogs in a week. Then by 5th year it was shags. You were up there mate! Now it's just one girl, day in and day out. That has to get boring eventually. Granted, Lily is one foxy lady. I'll give you that much credit."
James laughed and then smacked Sirius upside of the head as a sly smile appeared across his face at the thought of Lily. "That's my girlfriend you're picturing!" He said with a chuckle. "That foxy body is for my eyes, and mind only."
"Fine, you get Lily all to yourself because you two are just sickeningly attached to one another, but I could get any other girl at any other time and you know it. Who could resist this?" said Sirius, glancing down at himself with a cocky grin.
"Black," came a new voice. James and Sirius glanced around to find a strikingly beautiful woman standing in the doorway. Her long dark hair streaked with red fell in waves midway down her back and her sparkling hazel eyes gazed at Sirius as she walked confidently towards his desk.
Sirius just stared at her, unable to speak for just a moment before regaining his composure and flashing his signature grin. "Melissa. How can I be of service to you?"
But Melissa seemed completely oblivious to his charm as she casually tossed a piece of parchment on top of the pile. "Crouch wants this signed. He needs it back first thing tomorrow morning at 9:00 sharp." She said quickly before turning around and giving James an acknowledging nod as she headed back out into the hall.
Sirius simply stared on after her with a dazed look on his face. He finally snapped out of it as James's laughter reached his ears.
"Any girl at any time eh mate? I mean, who could resist you right?" He said in between chuckles. "I'll tell you who could... Melissa Harwood."
Sirius glared back at him before responding, "So me and Melissa have never really gotten to know each other. I've just never really tried with her, but it could definitely happen. I'm a sexy guy James, there's no denying it. And she's one totally smokin' girl. People like us are just naturally attracted. I just need to turn up the charm and she'll be all over me in no time."
"BLACK!" came that dreaded voice once again from the doorway. "And to think that I was coming by to let you go home. Absolutely no respect!" he exclaimed with disgust as he tossed another pile of forms onto Sirius's desk and limped back out into the hall.
James burst into hysterics as Sirius slammed his head down onto his desk. "Just get out of here mate. Go meet up with Lils or something. At least one of us might get some action tonight."
