A/N: Bella keeps someone from straying. Bella/James. AU since the personalities are a bit skewed - James would know how horrible Bella is (through Sirius) and never do anything with her. But, this is also my story :p

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry (Challenges & Assignments): 2 Week Drabble Wars: Main Attraction ft. Dialogue Prompts - Secondary character - James Potter. Prompt - "I'd shag him until there was nothing left, just a pair of glasses and a damp patch." (My Mad Fat Diary)
Bellatrix stood with the other pureblood girls at another one of their social gatherings. While Bellatrix hated being a primped and polished just a few hours of fake smiles and dizzying waltzes, she did appreciate what these functions were truly for: establishing yourself. The higher you were on the social ladder, the more power you held, and Bellatrix was willing to play the game if it kept her on top.
"But what about James Potter?" one of the girls asked, her eyes dancing over to the young man standing next to his father as they spoke to another invited guest.
"What about him?" Bellatrix asked, she too looking over at the man in question. She couldn't really call him a man, more like a boy since he was the same age as her cousin.
"What do you mean?" the girl asked, her face lit up in exaggerated surprise. "He's only captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, sharp as a tack and his family is loaded," she gushed. With a grin she added, "And he's not that bad to look at either. I'd shag him until there was nothing left, just a pair of glasses and a damp patch."
"I know," another girl said. Then she sighed. "If only he wasn't chasing after that stupid mudblood."
Bellatrix wrinkled her nose. "A pureblood lusting after a mudblood?"
"I know," the first girl said. "Absolutely disgraceful, but the Potters were also know for their more... lenient nature."
James said something to his father before separating from the two older gentlemen walking towards the refreshments. Bellatrix handed her glass to the girl on her right and said, "I can't have one of our own lost to a filthy mudblood."
"What are you doing?" the first girl asked.
Bellatrix pulled the pin from her hair, releasing her wild curls from the elegant knot she forced it in. She pulled the first two buttons of her dress, and hoisted the hem a few inches highed. "I'm going to remind him why pureblood girls are better."
She walked over to the young man and grabbed his arm. He turned to her in surprise as she hungrily attacked his lips. However, it happened so quickly that if the girls hadn't been watching, they wouldn't have seen anything.
Bellatrix leaned up and whispered into James' ear, "I'll be waiting in the second floor bathroom."
