Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning swelteringly hot. One half of my body was stuck to the leather of the armchair and the other half was fused to a body just as hot as mine. I could feel the heat radiating off James as he lay behind me breathing slowly. I shuffled around a bit trying to find a cool bit of leather and stopped moving suddenly when I felt something poke into my arse. Shit I thought, this is going to be so awkward if he wakes up. I held my breath and slowly peeled myself off the chair. The amount of light outside told me it could only be about 6:00am so I made my way upstairs and got into bed quickly.

James POV

I awoke with a start, the pressure in my boxers telling me what kind of dream I had been having. I remembered how Rory had falling asleep on me and thanked Merlin that she was not still pressed against me. that would have been so awkward! The whole tower was silent, must still be early I thought and with that I got up and hastily made my way back to bed secretly hoping i would dream again and this time know who it was about.

Rory POV

The next time I was woken up was by the sound of chattering girls and a shower being turned on. I opened my eyes slowly to see everyone's beds empty and by the sounds of the laughter coming from behind me I guessed they were getting ready.

Yawning I got up "morning guys" I called towards the bathroom as I padded around to my draws finding some clean underwear to put on. "Finally Ror, we thought you would never get up" said the voice of Olivia from behind me.

"Why what time is it?" I questioned spinning around to smile at her.

"It's like 12:30, you usually get up at like 10" she murmured throwing the pair of jeans I was looking for at me. "You've missed breakfast"

"ahwell" I said doing the jeans dance as I pulled them on and buttoned them up "just gives me to have breakfast for lunch doesn't it" I said winking and leaving the room after pulling on my plain white blouse. I was still a bit hazy from sleep so I hadn't managed to do any buttons up by the time I stepped into the common room. Someone wolf whistled at me and I spun around to see Tyrell Finnegan laying on a sofa wiggling his eye brows at me, "bit early for nakedness isn't it" he mused.

I went and sat next to him running my hand up his thighs "oh Tyrell" I sighed seductively "unless you want to end up like you brother id shut up" I said slapping his leg, smirking and wiggling my eyebrows right back at him before managing to do up all the buttons and strolling to the portrait hole swinging my arse as I left. Yes drunk or not I happen to be a huge flirt.

I love breakfast! It happens to be my favourite meal of the day; I love it so much I tend to have it at lunch time as well as in the morning. So that is exactly what I did. I piled up my plate with toast and grabbed a bowl of cereal ignoring the strange looks the new first years were giving me. They didn't know about the strange ways of Aurora Hastings yet!

"oi" I squealed as a hand reached down and stole a piece of toast "give it back" I growled menacingly at Fred who now had a look of pain on his face as I grabbed his ginger hair and yanked. "Fine" he blurted out dropping the toasted bread back onto my plate "who eats breakfast for lunch anyway you weirdo" he said ruffling me hair before sitting down next to me. I scowled at him as I continued to shovel in my cornflakes.

"So you hyped for the party tonight?" he asked picking up a sandwich and a chicken leg.

"Yep" I mumbled through my mouthful of food "where is it this year?" Gryffindor changed the location every year to reduce the risk of getting caught.

"The room of requirement" Fred replied "please don't drink too much Rory" he said turning serious, we don't want a repeat of the burrow.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of doing that again" I said reassuring him. "Now how would you and everyone else fancy joining me at the Lake for a swim seeing as it's so nice" I asked referring to the scorching sun shining through the great hall's high windows. "Spread the word?" I asked before skipping off to get Ari.

We spent the rest of the day splashing around in the lake and adding to our summer tans. It was me, James, Fred, Ari, Olivia, Frankie, her brother Alex, Hugo, Lilly, Rose, Albus, Louis, Dominique, Roxy, Lucy, Molly and Riley and Ava Finnegan. By the time it was 5 we all headed back me and my fellow Gryffindors to get ready for the party.

My outfit that night consisted of a short, tight, black skirt and a cute light blue blouse tucked in. I went for my flat pumps instead of a pair of heels as I didn't fancy falling over. Ari was wearing the same as me but with a floral top and a huge pair of heels instead. Frankie and Olivia were both wearing dresses with heels.

We headed down the stairs when we were ready collecting Rose and Lilly on the way and were greeted by James, Fred, Albus and Scorpious. "Wow" James breathed to Fred as I walked towards them. "Common boys let's get this party started!" I screamed running towards the portrait hole. "Oh shit, someone is going to need to watch her tonight" I heard Ari say to the others as they followed me.

I may have promised Fred not to drink much that night but by 11:00 I was truly wankered! In my defence so was everyone else! All the years from first to fourth had retired back to the tower and had left year's fifth to seventh alone to get even more pissed than they were.

I leant back against the wall giggling as I slipped down it so I was sitting on the floor. I looked up at the dance floor to where nearly everyone was dancing, well to be honest nearly all of them were grinding rather than dancing.

I couldn't see James. "James" I scream frowning "where are you, you bastard!"

"don't call me a bastard you bitch!" he shouted back strutting over and sitting next to me before giving me a push ending up with me face first on the floor, arse stuck up in the air.

"Mmm Rory you arse is nice" James said poking it.

"What are you doing" I demanded sitting back up.

"Nothing my lovely" he smirked

"Lovely? Are you trying to seduce me James Sirius Potter?" I questioned slurring my words

"Yes why yes I am Aurora Hastings, because I am too sexy for my shirt" he sang, winking and starting to not make any sense.

"well you can forget it because you are my best friend and imp sure your a shit fuck" I said winking back at him"

"fine" he exclaimed "I will find someone else to appreciate my sexy flirting" he slurred stumbling away making me realize that for once he was more pissed than me. "Yeh well so will I!" I called after him.

10 minutes later I saw him attached to Blossom Brown, a sickly sweet girl in the year below, in the middle of the dance floor. He opened his eyes and glared at me mischievously almost challenging me.

I downed my firewhiskey unaware that I was subconsciously jealous. Two can play at that game I thought and made my over to the first boy I saw. It just happened to be the good looking Jonah Thomas in the same year as me. The last thing I remember is glaring at James before backing Jonah into the wall before and kissing him hungrily.

Fred POV

"She really has to stop doing that at parties" I said to Arianna as we watched Rory push Jonah against a wall.

"Yeh but he isn't much better!" she said pointing to James who was stuck in a tight embrace with Blossom.

"Agreed, they just need to realize they are made for each other so all this drama can stop!" I said downing my butterbeer and walking off.
