There was a collective sigh of delight as the romantic movie ended. Lily's friends begged her to put on another one. Her little get-together had been as tame as could be so far, especially considering the girls were all drinking butterbeer, which the few of her Muggle friends she had invited found particularly delightful. Her wizarding friends, however, were more entertained by her television.
"Please Lily, let us watch another one!" her friend Mary begged.
"But we've watched two already. I don't really have any other good ones," Lily replied.
"Then let's watch the first one again!" cried Emmeline.
"Oh, let's do something else," interrupted Sandra, one of Lily's Muggle friends. "You are all so boring!"
"I agree," said Marlene. "You know James and the boys are out having the time of their lives, getting into all sorts of mischief and drunken debauchery, and we're just sitting here watching movies."
"Debauchery?" Lily questioned. "What do you mean?"
"Well, what do you expect, Lily?" said Marlene. "You haven't shagged the poor guy in months."
"Only because I want our wedding night to be special!" Lily protested.
"Don't worry, Lily," said her best friend Alice. "I'm sure Marlene didn't mean anything."
"Yes," said Emmeline. "No one thinks that James would ever cheat on you. I mean, he's crazy in love with you." She sighed. "You're so lucky." Many of the other girls murmured in agreement.
"I know. I trust James completely. I'm not the least bit worried," Lily said, with a pointed look at Marlene.
Marlene rolled her eyes.
"Oh come on," Lily said to her. "Don't you remember the reason Sirius broke up with you was because you never trusted him? Because Sirius may be a lot of things, but he isn't a cheater. And neither is James, for that matter."
"Well I hope you're right," said Marlene. "You may think that withholding sex may make him want you more, but it could easily backfire."
"I appreciate your concern, Marlene," said Lily. "But I have to trust him. I—I just have to."
...
"Where are you taking me?" James asked with a laugh, as the veela led him away from the crowd.
"You'll see," she told him. "My name is Angelica, by the way, in case you were wondering."
"Oh—okay," James said, feeling rather embarrassed. Not for one moment did he wonder what the veela's name was. Her inhuman beauty almost made him forget that she was a person rather than an object.
She stopped at the foot of the stairs. "Okay, you will not believe this- Sirius set up a hot tub in the bedroom upstairs. I don't know how he did it, but it's the coolest thing." She flipped her hair and James' heart skipped a beat. "And also, he put a charm on the bed so it vibrates."
"Of course he did," said James.
"So," she said in a seductive voice, "I thought we could start off in the hot tub—"
"Wait—what?"
"Unless you'd rather go right to the bed? Anything you want. I'm all yours."
James gulped as he thought about all the things he wanted to do to this veela.
"Come on," she said with a dazzling smile. "I know you're just dying to fuck me." She placed a hand on James' arousal, which he'd been desperately trying—and failing—to hide.
"I—no," said James. "I mean, dancing is one thing, but I'm not going to actually…" James' words were lost as she pressed her body against him, backing him against the wall.
Her body was like nothing James had ever seen, not in person, not in magazines, not anywhere. He couldn't see how it was physically possible for that little waist and delicate shoulders to be supporting those big, ample breasts of hers. They swelled in size as she pushed them up against his chest. "Come on," she whispered his ear. Her lips nipped at his earlobe.
James desperately tried to fill his head with thoughts of Lily, and how upset she would be if she heard… how much she trusted him…
"Come on," the veela was saying, rubbing against him up and down. "I'll even suck your cock if you want, you know blow jobs are the first things to go once you're married…"
"I can't," James breathed. He wanted to say yes so badly. "I'm sorry."
"But I want you so bad," she pleaded. "I want your big cock in my tight pussy." She lowered her voice to a whisper. "I could feel how big it was when we were dancing… "
James feigned a coughing fit to tune out her words. "Just—find someone else, okay? I mean—you, you could have anyone…"
She sighed with exasperation. "Look," she said, losing her patience. "Our contract says that if we sleep with the groom we get a 200 galleon bonus. So can we stop fucking around and just do this? It's really not a big deal. Trust me."
"Oh," James said, suddenly gaining his composure. "Is that what this is? And here I was starting to think you actually… never mind. You're just a whore."
"Maybe I am," she said. "But I'm still tighter than a virgin. And I know that if you weren't getting married you would be fucking me right now no matter how much it cost."
"I wouldn't fuck you if it were free," replied James, knowing it was an absolute lie—well, if Lily wasn't in the picture.
She sighed. "What about Renee?" she asked him. She gestured to another veela, who was currently straddled over Frank Longbottom's lap, to come over. "She's a three quarter veela."
"I wouldn't fuck her either," said James with a bit more defiance.
"What's going on?" she asked. "Is our groom here resisting your charms, Angelica?"
"Yes," she replied with a fake pout. "But let's see if he's able to resist both of us."
James gulped. "Like a three-way?" he asked. Just the idea made him almost come in his pants.
"Yes, James," said the veelas, getting closer to him. "I bet you never had a threesome in your life," Angelica taunted. "It's now or never." And with that the veelas turned to each other, and one slowly put her tongue in the other's mouth.
...
"Sirius? James looks like he is in serious need of backup," Remus said worriedly.
"Eh? He looks like he's doing just fine to me," Sirius said, watching the veelas' tongues dance in front of James across the room. He was currently downing shots and observing an intense game of strip poker between the other veelas, and the guys were all placing bets on who would lose all their clothes first.
"Can't we just bring him over here?" asked Remus. "He would love this. And it will keep him from doing anything… stupid."
"We are not going to interrupt him," said Sirius firmly. "I set this thing up so James could have a good time, and that's what he's going to get. He hasn't so much as squeezed a tit in two months, and this is the last time he'll ever get to, being that Evans doesn't have any."
An outburst from the guys erupted as a round of poker ended, and a veela surrendered her bra to the center of the table. Sirius pumped his fist. "All right," he said, taking another shot. "All that stands between me and 50 galleons is a lacy black pair of panties." He grinned at Remus, who didn't grin back.
"What did you set up upstairs?" said Remus.
"Oh, just something to help—uh, us— get laid. Which is more than I can say for these other blokes," replied Sirius, gesturing to the other guys who were drooling over the veelas' various states of nakedness. "Pathetic."
"Sirius. You know James doesn't want any part of that. If these were regular girls, James wouldn't think twice about doing anything with them. But veelas are different, they trigger all sorts of different emotions in you, like lust, and—and—James can't realistically be expected to turn down them down when they're throwing themselves at him! But if he goes upstairs with them it will haunt him for the rest of his life!"
Sirius took another shot. "It's James' decision. If he decides to go up there with them, he'll understand the consequences."
Remus angrily bit his lip. "Why did you have to hire fucking veelas anyway? I told you not to, I told you, but you had to do it anyway, it's like you're TRYING to get James to cheat on Lily!"
Sirius looked back over at James, who was still entranced by the veelas. "Maybe then he'll realize he's making a mistake."
"WHAT?" Remus yelled, truly astounded. He managed to make a few heads turn away from the veelas, but not for long. He looked around, and lowered his voice. "How can you say that?"
"James is nineteen fucking years old. We're finally out of school, we could be doing anything we want, just the four of us, but James has to go throw it all away."
Remus looked shocked. "Sirius, if you felt this way, why didn't you say anything?"
"You don't think I fucking did? But James is so damn stubborn, he made up his mind. And it just kills me, because the only reason he's doing it is because he's so scared that this war will fucking kill him before he has the chance to do anything with his life. He just doesn't realize what he's sacrificing! He gave up living with his friends, Pro Quidditch, and now he has to give up these fucking veelas? All for this stupid bitch that will just divorce him in 3 years, if we even live that long."
"Don't you ever talk that way about Lily again," said Remus. "Ever."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I know you care about her. We all do. She became one of us a long time ago and—don't you roll your eyes! Stop acting like James is some toy your mum is making you share."
Sirius didn't respond.
"You really think James marrying Lily is going to change things? For god's sake, they're already married. And—we're all so happy when we're together. And it will always be that way."
Sirius lowered his head. "No, it won't."
Remus put his hand on his shoulder. "We're all scared Sirius. I mean, this just—this is just a terrible, awful war. But no matter what happens to any of us, we'll still always be the Marauders. Forever."
Sirius gave him a small smile. "It's strange to see you this worked up, Moony. I think I like it."
"Just trying to talk some sense into you."
Sirius sighed. "It's not like I dislike Evans. I mean, she gets on my nerves a lot, but I consider her my family."
Remus nodded. "Will you help me out with James then?"
"I guess. I should've known he would never actually cheat on Lily."
"He won't have to. It looks like those veelas are about to… about to rape him, quite honestly."
"Haha," said Sirius. "Raped by a veela. I wonder if anyone would ever believe that."
"Well, I know Lily wouldn't. So let's go put a stop to this, shall we?"
Thanks again for reading I'll update if I get a review :)
