The next morning Shay Jefferson woke up a very happy girl, she had had no expectations last night, they weren't even supposed to kiss on the first date, and it might not even count as a first date anyway. In her mind everything was fine, actually more than fine she was beaming with happiness.
"Do not make me force feed you love." Sirius stated handing Shay a piece of toast at breakfast.
"Ok, but only today, because it's a match." she said eyeing the piece as if it might bite her at any moment.
Lily and James arrived at the Great Hall five minutes before the Quidditch match was due to start. Everyone looked at them as they walked in and most of them smiled seeing his hand present around her waist. There had been a new closeness between the two, partially because Lily had handled being hit by the Cruciatus Curse so badly, but everyone had seen it coming long before then.
"Hello Head Boy and Girl" Shay said smiling widely. She felt Sirius' hand creep up to her waist and she silently swatted it away leaving him looking dejected.
"Hello Ms. Jefferson," James replied, "Time for Quidditch!"
"Yeah!" Shay yelled and happily walked towards the pitch with James and Sirius not far behind.
After hearing a rather awful pep talk from James, Shay sighed and yelled.
"Now we all love Potter however what he's trying to say is let's go kick some Hufflepuff ass!"
The team responded well to this and James smiled his thanks. Then the match began with Remus commentating.
Like at most Quidditch events Lily tuned out the noise and focused all her thoughts on James. James. He really was something, just that morning she had experienced some more not so plesant repercussions of the curses that still seemed to reverberate in her body and he had comforted her until she felt her normal self. He really had changed, being friends with him, hell, LIVING with him had shown her that. It was only December though, what if they were moving too fast? Was three months enough to show someone was decent? Lily pondered this and realized it didn't matter how fast they were going. Right now with everything being how it was, their three month friendship had withstood more then most lifelong ones. All that really mattered was if they made each other happy. Did James make Lily happy?
There he was flying, on his broom with the wind rustling his already messy black hair. Good lord he was gorgeous. Lily was brought back from her reverie by Remus' cry of "AND SHAY JEFFERSON SCORES! GRYFFINDOR WINS!"
"GO GO GRYFFINDOR GO GO GRYFFINDOR!" was cheered so loudly Lily was sure she lost her hearing, she quickly found James and waved he saw her and waved back motioning for her to meet him inside. Lily ran to the locker rooms and waited patiently for the Quidditch captain to emerge.
"Lily!" James called as soon as he saw her and started running in her direction. Happiness enveloped her body like a blanket as she was held in his arms and Lily made her decision.
"You won!" Lily whispered and threw her arms around James neck and kissed him on the cheek. James smiled widely and held her tightly in his arms.
They broke apart when James felt her sway slightly and looked at her worriedly. Lily had gone very pale and the muscles in her neckpopped in and out from strain.
"The pains back again isn't it?" James asked sadly.
Lily nodded with tears pricking her eyes. James pulled her back into his embrace and after a minute or so she relaxed.
"Want to go party and get drunk and forget this pain?" Lily asked laughing a bit while tears still rolled down her cheeks.
"if you feel up to it." James said she nodded and they were off to the wild party no doubt waiting for them in the common room.
The party had just started getting underway as the Head's neared the portrait hole. There were still a few stragglers trying to make their way to the festivities.
Lily smiled at James before going to congrtulate Shay
"What the bloody hell was that?" Sirius asked astonished.
"A smile, from the girl I've been trying to land for six years." James said before adding, "She kissed me on the cheek, willingly!"
"Congrats man" Sirius said slapping him on the back.
"So where's your girl? She did win us the game." James said.
"Well, she was next to me a second ago, but right now about every single Gryffindor is thanking her so I need to wait a few minutes." Sirius said pouting.
It turned out that a few minutes became an hour, then the fire whiskey came out and Lily made everyone under sixteen go to the dormitories. James and Lily were having an amazing time dancing, drinking, talking, tripping fromthe alcohol.
Sirius and Shay were everywhere dancing, screaming and of course drinking eventually James and Sirius ended up in the Head's common room wondering where Lily and Shay had ended up.
At about one in the morning Lily and Shay stumbled in giggling and tripping over their own feet. James and Sirius were depressingly sober.
"Hi love," Shay said falling into Sirius' lap and giggling.
"James! I missed you!" Lily said sitting next to him.
"Come on Lils I think you should go to bed." James said firmly, having had many experiences with hang overs and drunkedness.
"But, But, but! I'm not tired!" Lily protested taking another sip of the firewhiskey that Shay had handed her.
"Nope off to bed!" James said and picked her up bridal style, which elicited another round of giggles and leaving her in her room and retreating to his own.
"Hey Jefferson lay off the whiskey!" Sirius snapped at her when she reached for her bottle.
"Who are you my mother?" Shay screamed.
"Im the bloke who'll have to deal with your hung over ass tomorrow!" he said helping her stand up and walk back towards their dorms.
"Well, if I'm such a pain then why are you taking care of me?" Shay asked sticking her nose in the air.
"Because you're worth it" Sirius mumbled helping her back through the portrait hole.
"I can manage myself!" Shay said swatting away his steadying hand and attempting the feat herself. She was of course too drunk and ended up falling flat on her face.
"Are you ok?" Sirius asked.
"Help me?" Shay asked holding her arms up limply. Sirius obliged and steadied her.
"How much fire whiskey did you manage to get your hands on?" Sirius asked.
"Only a few... Lily and I shared... sixanahalff" Shay slurred laying her head against Sirius' chest.
"Of course you did." Sirius said chuckling and walking her into the girls dormitories, leading her to her bed.
"Donleeve" Shay said grabbing his hand.
"I'll see you in the morning, when youre sober." Sirius said.
Shay looked like she was about to cry when he tried to pry his hand away from her.
"Please Sirius" Shay almost begged and Sirius knew he couldn't argue with her. He sat on her bed with her and held her hand smiling at the drunk beauty. His eyes traced her body wondering if he should in fact give in to her demand.
"Go to bed Jefferson, tomorrow you'll kill me if I stay." Sirius reasoned.
Shay didn't pay attention to him and laid back on her bed just looking into his eyes,
"Please Siriuez." she begged pushing her chest out unconciously while trying to settle into the bed, making Sirius secretly go mad, "I- I have these dreams, bad bad dreams I used to have Lilee to tell me everythin was okay but now" Shay's eyes had become clouded with tears and one stray tear couldn't be contaied and rolled down her cheek.
Sirius wiped it away gently and held her hand tightly.
"Hold me" Shay pleaded.
Sirius obliged and took her in his string arms he was vaguely aware that her short was unbuttoned partially exposing her bra, he wondered how that had happened, but decided not to bring it up. Instead he sat there comforting her wishing she was sober so that that moment could have been real.
Soon Sirius saw he eyelids flutter and her gently drift off to sleep. He hoped the dreams she described weren't real, she looked to peaceful to be disturbed. He laid her tenderly on her bed and gazed at her perfect being.
It took all of Sirius' better judgement to propel himself out of the girls dormitories. When he arrived back at his own dorm he felt sorry for the terrible head ache she would be recieving shortly.

"Lily?" James called knocking on her door the next morning he had let her sleep in, but if he let her sleep after noon she wouldn't be happy.
"Hmmm" Lily groaned from her bed.
"Lily if you don't get up right now I'm coming in." James warned.
Silence.
James opened the door to Lily tangled in her covers with one hand on her forehead and mascara from the night before smudging her fair face.
"James? How do you get rid of hangovers?" Lily asked hopelessly.
"Wait them out unfortunately, at least it's a Sunday. Sorry I woke you up you must have had a lot to drink last night because it's noon."
Lily sat up quickly, a little too quickly because she fell backwards with dizziness.
"Ahhh James why the hell didn't you cut us off?" Lily asked.
"You and Shay left me and Sirius before we could" James said.
"Oh well let's get to breakfast then." Lily said sitting up again, slower this time.
"Lils, it's noon, it's lunchtime." James said chuckling.
"Sorry, this is my first hang over" Lily admitted.
James laughed and said.
"get dressed and I'll make you breakfast how about that?"
Lily nodded and ushered the boy out of her room. She closed the door and slid to the ground with it against her back. Was she still loopy from the alcohol or did James just offer to make her breakfast? Was that a come on? Knowing James it probably was, but he had been so different lately. What had happened before her run in with alcohol? She vaguely remembered kissing James, but it was on the cheek. Lily knew she was falling for him, but he didn't need to know that.

"Sirius Black!" Shay screeched as she burst into te Marauders dorm unannounced.
"What?!" Sirius yelled and fell off his bed in surprise.
Remus and Peter were no where to be seen so Shay continued.
"What happened last night? I was incredibly drunk and all I know is I woke up with my shirt unbuttoned and smelling like you." Shay said nervously.
"Nothing happened, you and Lily got extremely drunk and I walked youto your dormitory. That's all." Sirius said gathering himself off of the floor and looking at Shay for te first time. He froze. "Whoa" he said huskily.
"Wait why was my shirt unbuttoned?" Shay asked ignoring his tone.
"I don't know it was when you found me and James" Sirius whispered staring darkly at Shay.
"What?" Shay asked nervous now.
"Those are pajamas?" Sirius asked.
Shay looked at what she was wearing, her tank top was white and sheer and her lacey bra was visible underneath, her shorts were lacey black short shorts that looked very much like underwear. Crap, she had woken up in the middle of the night and changed, but she hadn't realized what she was wearing.
"Oh, sorry I got changed late last night I didnt even check what I was wearing." Shay said embarassed then she looked at Sirius and melted he only slept in boxers. God he was sexy. "What are you wearing?"
"Boxers, you woke me up!" He said defensively.
"Well, thanks for taking care of me last night" Shay said and walked towards him to give him a hug.
He tensed under her touch and she knew she was tempting him all too much. She looked into his eyes and saw dark longing lust. She knew hers reflected his expression.
"Well, I think I'll come back once I've gotten dressed." Shay said trying to get free of his embrace.
"Don't go" Sirius said softly, "I like what you're wearing."
"You would" Shay joked breathing in hhis cologne that still lingered from te night before.
"Please, last night you were practically begging me to sleep with you. You can't deny you don't enjoy me shirtless." Sirius smirked, he decided they should discuss her "dreams" later.
"Just for that you can't touch me anymore." Shay said and broke away from his hug smirking.
"God woman you're killing me!" Sirius said.
"How so?" Shay asked.
"Coming in here dressed like that, pressing yourself against me."
"It was a hug!" Shay said apalled. "Im sorry my appearance was so- slutty"
"You could never be slutty darling, I tempted you as well, I can see it in your eyes" Sirius said smiling.
"Sirius" Shay said dragging his name out and inching toward him on his bed, "You couldn't be more wrong"
Sirius let a small moan leave his lips when she started tracing his abs with her finger tip.
"Thats tempting isn't it?" Shay said smoothly.
"You have no idea" He said darkly moving towards her to touch er lips with his own, but she got up at the last second.
She paused at the door to say "Halloween's soon if you what me to tell Slughorn you guys can't handle the prep we can still cancel."
"No! Everything will be taken care of" Sirius assured her and watched her leave.
Sirius fell back on his bed in defeat. She was perfect, he'd known that already, but seeing her like that. Touching him, being beautiful. Why was she so damn hard headed.
