When Lily entered the common room with Marlene and Mary close behind, she was eager and excited. James and her first patrol was going to happen in less than an hour.Their first important task as Head students. With a little too much enthusiasm she plopped herself onto the sofa closest to the common room fire.
" Woah, Lily, what did the sofa ever do to warrant that kind of treatment?", Marlene joked collapsing onto an armchair which moulded itself around her form. "Oh har har Marls", Lily chirped sarcastically,"I'm just eager for patrol. I wonder if Potter will be responsible or his usual rascal self?".
"Hmmm, what turns you on more, him being a mischevious trouble maker or a law enforcing Headboy? I think the latter gets you more hot and bothered", Mary stated with a suggestive eyebrow wiggle soundtracked by Marlene's bursts of laughter. " You two need to quit it with all the Potter innuendos. Honestly he'll have ten fricking girlfriends after the 'Hottest Marauder' is announced, going off all those girls practically shoving their proposals down my throat". The two friends shared a concerned look with eachother then faced Lily. It was a few moments before anyone spoke. Mary sighed, " Lily come off it. James only has eyes for you. Just think back to dinner, he was playing with your hair for Merlins sake!". Marlene nodded her agreement and added in the fact that James hadn't got with any girls for over a year and half now.
Of course Lily new all this. James and Lily had spent hours talking over the holidays and it had come up early in their correspondence. But Lily had to keep this secret as part of their agreement for the relationship to remain unknown by others, including their friends. This being said, she had the feeling that the Marauders knew already, just from the knowing looks she had received earlier from each of them. She would question James about it later but for now she had to dodge the conversation with her friends. " Yes okay but it's not like that between us. We play around with eachother but we don't flirt. I have to go get ready for patrol anyway".
Lily got up off the sofa and made her way out of the common room. Being Headgirl had its perks, she and the Headboy shared their own dormitory and ensuite close to the Heads office. Lily noticed James wasn't in there when she arrived and so she decided to take advantage of the ensuite. After a steamy shower that filled the bathroom with a fruity scent, Lily wrapped one of the fluffy towels around her body and created a towel turban on her head with another. Humming to herself she left the ensuite with her cheeks a little pinker from the warmth and entered the lounge area of the dorm, stumbling straight into a body.
Both screeched as they toppled onto the carpet, Lily awkwardly straddled on top.
The body turned out to be a boy... bloody Peter Pettigrew! Lily screamed,sitting up onto his lap and gripping the towel on her body, the towel turban now lay disregarded beside them. Peter had a stunned expression on his face and had his hands on the front of Lily's exposed thighs as if to keep her at a distance.
"Well well well, Wormy is finally getting some. Not suprising that he's on bottom though, is it Prongs?", Sirius joked nudging James with his elbow and grinning rather obnoxiously. James however was staring shocked at the scene before him. Lily screamed again, her head whipping around to see Sirius and James standing just outside James' room. "What the fuck are you all doing?", Lily yelled gripping the towel with all her life, " What do you think you're doing?". She slapped Peters hands off her with one hand and proceeded to hit his chest rather firmly. Peter cried his apologies and held his arms in front of his face. James came to Peters aide by grabbing Lilys waist from behind and lifting her off his mate. "Enough Evans,stop flailing your arms around!", James struggled to put her down without being hit. As soon as her feet felt the carpet she pulled herself from his grip and ran into her room, slamming her door with an angry growl.
In the lounge Peter pulled himself off of the floor and sheepishly looked at his dark haired friends. " How was it having a bird in such close proximity Wormtail, especially a good looking one like Evans?", Sirius fluffed Peters hair playfully. Peter beamed but didn't have time to answer as James stepped forward. " What the hell was that Peter, why the fuck were you under Evans?", he gripped Peters robes accusingly.
" I- we - I -I mean we fell", Peter nervously stuttered, his eyes wide as saucers. Sirius patted James shoulder as if to say it was not Peters fault. James let go of Peter and walked towards Lilys door. Pressing his ear against the door he waited to hear anything from inside the room. When no sound came he knocked gently. A moment later the door opened a crack and bright green eyes met hazel. " Can I have a word Lily", James indicated in her room with a flit of his eyes. Lily let out an exasperated sigh and opened the door just enough for him to slip in, before closing and locking it again. Now wearing a few articles of clothing and with her hair dried and wavy, Lily crossed her arms and jutted her hip to the side, waiting for whatever he was going to say. " So... ", James stalled. Lily turned towards her closet and grabbed her over the knee stockings, skirt and tie,throwing them onto her bed. Lifting one leg she slipped on one of her stockings slowly, waiting still,for James to talk. After she had put on her other stocking and pulled on her skirt she flung the tie around her neck and folded it until it was perfect. " James if you want to have a fucking go at me get on with it, I need to apply some mascara", she looked at him expectantly but he just stared back in a daze. Lily inched closer, right until their chests were only centimetres apart. Wetting her lips she whispered,
" Cat got your tongue? That'd be a first".
" You looked very pretty in nothing but a towel,even whilst straddling one of my best mates", James' backhand compliment earned him a sharp glare and a fired up girlfriend. " Think Peters gonna win me over, steal me away from you? You're a prat, an absolute prat", Lily retorted as she walked to her mirror and applied mascara to her lashes. To agitate her boyfriend a little more she added eyeliner and undid the top few bottoms of her blouse. " As if. I just thought it unfair that he got to feel more of your skin in thirty seconds than I have in almost three months of being together. You had your- your woman parts all over him for Merlins sake!", James gestured to the lower half of her body.
Lily rolled her eyes and stepped in front of him once more. " So I accidentally bumped into him and fell onto his groin and your jealous that he's potentially copped more of a feel? Wow, real mature Headboy", she patted his chest and made to go past him but he held her waist. Pulled closer towards him, Lily rested her hands flat on his chest. " So what if I am being immature? You would be the exact same if I was ontop of Marlene basically naked. I was shocked with how I found you is all", He nuzzled her cheek with his nose and all was fine for a few moments. James trailed soft kisses down Lilys jaw until he reached her collarbone. "Mmmm", he moaned and his attention shifted its way to her open blouse, " why did you undo those buttons, it's going to be a nightmare trying to be discreet".
Lily gasped and pushed herself away from him, checking the time on her watch.
" Shit, we have two minutes before patrol," fixing her gaze on him, her forhead creased in a questioning look,
" Are you even ready? Come here". He rolled his eyes and stepped forward annoyed. We were just about to have some fun. Stupid bloody patrol, James thought as Lily tucked his shirt into his pants, which he admitted did feel really nice. Lily fiddled with his tie until it was perfect and swiped his face with a wash cloth. " Evans is the face necessary? I don't think I'm looking to terrible in that department". Lily stayed quiet and continued to wipe his face with gentle strokes. After that her eyes flitted to his hair but decided to leave it. " Come now, you're much more presentable Headboy," taking his hand in hers they left her room and said goodbye to the stunned boys sprawled on the sofa. When they left Sirius held out his hand which was given a small amount of change.
" Told you Pete, they were sure to come out touching eachother".
" I thought you meant it in a dirty way, not just holding hands", Peter blushed.
Sirius chuckled and tucked the coins into his robes, " Wanna play chess Wormy?". They played a game of chess whilst the Head students made their way to the Heads office.
When they entered the small office Lily made her way to the roster. " Okay so after us is Mr Daley and Ms Tate. We have two hours of checking broom cupboards and scouring the corridors, ready to go?". James was still wallowing about the fact he hadn't had enough alone time with Lily but gave a nod of the head anyway. As they slowly walked down the long corridor he found himself stealing glances at Lily. Damn she's beautiful , was thought about six times in the space of three minutes. These two hours were going to be long and really test his mind if Lily kept strutting like that.
"Looking at me again Potter?", she smirked playfully at him, with even more of his determination waning he gave her a small smile and jokingly told her to shut it.
