Entry 28

"Alright listen up all you ladies and gents. The Marauder annual Halloween Bash is moved up to this weekend, so think quick and get that costume cuz I think the Gryffindor tower needs a party!" Sirius's voice rang through the common room, followed by a round of approving clapping. "Spread the word, and remember men; do your damndest to get the girls in the 'right' kind of costume. We don't want any half dressed women running around!" He winked, got off the table top and kissed Charlotte.

I don't know how she put up with him.

"So love, have you decided what you're going to wear?" James said, coming up to me and stealing my homework out of my hands.

"Give it back!"

"Not till you tell me!" He taunted, holding it just high enough that I couldn't reach.

"Charlotte, your brothers being a prick!"

She didn't even bother to look over, "So what else is new?"

I sighed. "James." I held out my hand.

He caved and handed it back. "I guess I'll just be surprised then…"

"I guess so. Now go away."

"Jeeze, Miss Grumpy. And to think, I was going to tell you what I was going to be…"

"Like I would care." He walked off, shrugging.

Now I'm about to scream. I'm laying in bed trying not to think about what he's going to be. Why does he do that? Taunt me. Ha. Like I even care. Pff. No way.

***Prepping time before the Bash***

"Lily come out of the damn bathroom! I gotta pee!"

"Charlotte just hold on damnit!" I was freaking out. I looked like a whore.

Have you ever noticed that I always tend to look like whores at parties?

You wanna know why that is?

I let Charlotte pick out my clothing!

Not very smart, but when I see guys eyes glued to me, its all worth it.

Not that they'd look at me with say Charlotte in the room.

Or Jenevieve.

Or Katherine Franks.

Buts Katherine's in Slytherin and Charlottes taken. And everyone knows Jenevieve just a whore. At least anyone who matters.

Leaving moi to soak up all the attention.

I gave myself one last up and down and left the bathroom.

"Wow." Melanie said.

"Damn Lily. Were you trying to look like you want some?"

"Charlotte!" I went to slap her arm, but she dodged it at the last moment.

"Ladies….." Charlotte said and Mel and I nodded. We put our hands together and said our vow.

"Tonight if you shall get shit faced,

In no way shall you be disgraced,

I promise to pull you off any men,

If you get out of hand.

No dancing on table tops,

or more than 7 shots,

Partiers at night

Friends for life."

We all busted out laughing and started to walk out the door.

It was gonna be a good night.

***the party***

//flashback//

Once we got downstairs McGonagall was already giving her speech.

"Now," Her strict voice carried to us on the stairway, "You've already had your feast, and your celebration, so I want you all to keep the noise level down. If Horus knows that I let you all party like animals—"

"Animals? Minerva, please, I'm not an animal." Sirius said.

"Black if you know what is good for you and your party, you will never refer to me as Minerva again."

"Mini?" He suggested. She turned her head towards him, her lips in a thin tight line.

"Sirius Black I swear—"

"McGonagall…we wont be too loud, we wont party too hard, we wont stay up too late, and we wont drink too much," She gave him a dangerous look so he quickly followed his sentence with a "punch. Drink too much punch. Really, don't worry. We're all good little Angels here. Look theres Evans. You know she wont let the party get too out of hand since James is here."

You could tell she was fighting a smile when she left that night, with one last threat to everyone. "200 points if I find out there was an ounce of fire whiskey."

Once the door shut, Sirius stood up on the table again, "At 11 I want all the little kiddies to go to bed. That includes 3th years and down. Sorry. Now lets get this party started!"

At 11, as promised, the 'little kiddies' went to be and the rest were there to start the real party.

"Wish we didn't have to invite those little ones. The party could have started at 11 and then I could have taken a nap…" Tim Jones said, a 5th year.

Sirius walked by, "Buck up, mate. Take a swig of this and you'll be just fine." I looked at Sirius.

"Did you not McGonagall?? You just gave him fire—"

"Punch. I gave the bloke punch. Its my special little recipe."

"Does one of those special ingredients happen to be Fire whiskey?" He grinned and walked away.

I heard a low whistle behind me.

"You're going to kill me one of these days, Lily Flower,"

Despite myself I smirked. This Halloween I was a Vela.

Hear my evil laugh?

I turned around to face him, "You like?"

"I'm about to tell you I secretly rule the world."

"Well I already know you're filthy rich."

"And yet, you still reject me."

"Well, I'm waiting for the guy who rules the world."

"Right, Right."

"Then again, James Bond wouldn't be that bad of a trade off."

He smiled, since this was his costume. "He always gets the girl."

"Well he's never met a vela has he?"

He looked straight at me, his look gave me chills. "Not one like you." He leaned in closer to me, his face buried in my hair, "Not one that made me feel like this." His arms looped around my waist, "One that takes over my world."

I felt light headed, like I could faint right there.

I don't know what's wrong with me. How can he affecting me like this?

Why is he affecting me like this?

He pulled back and I wobbled, "Are you alright?" He held my cheek, searching my eyes for the answer.

I mumbled a yes.

He chuckled and put his arm around me, "Lets get something to drink."

I half way smiled, "Shaken, not stirred."

"Exactly."

*****around 1 am*****

I was talking to Melanie about one of the pumpkin pastries. We were discussing if we could fit another one into our stomachs without puking.

It turns out that Sirius hadn't put whiskey into both punch bowls. The other one had a cheerful potion in it.

No wonder he's parties were always a hit.

Sirius once again stood up one the table, with Charlotte.

"Alright everyone. I've decided that by now, everyone is either completely wasted, or extremely happy. Either way, everyone is feelin good. So now its time for the hat."

Everyone started whispering possibilities of what the hat could be. Sirius pick up a black hat from the table and started to explain, "Now heres how to play the game. I'm going to pass the hat around and every one is going to write down who they thought had the sexiest costume and pulled it off."

Everyone started writing. Sirius definitely was going to be, at least, a runner up. He came as a vampire. In a red tuxedo with tails (merlin knows where he got that) and a black cape. His hair was crazy and his plump lips were blood red. I'm pretty sure every girl was jealous of Charlotte when she got to kiss them.

James didn't look Shabby either. As James Bond, he wore a classic tuxedo, Italian shoes, and for the first time he's hair was slick back and neat.

He looked fucking hot.

There were a couple other guys of course who looked good, but I just couldn't seem to get my eyes to leave James's ass in those expensive trousers…

Ah hem, anyways, Sirius got back the hat and he announced we'd get back to that later. Now it was time to turn the music up and dance.

I am very ashamed to write that I grinded.

I grinded with James Potter.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

We were just normally dancing to the beat, our hands were attached but that was it. Then he twirled me around and pulled me up to him, my back to his front. And something just took me over. I pushed back on him and shook my hips to the left. His arm tightened around my waist "Lily." He said it in almost a warning tone. I didn't really acknowledge him. I just shook my hips to the right with the music. His hands, very hesitantly moved to my hips, but they seemed undecided on whether they were going to pull my hips away or push them done harder. I put my hands on his and chose the ladder. That was the end of his fight. He took my hips and began to move his along with mine and the music. Making a delicious rhythm.

After one song I stopped the madness, but god damn it felt good. I swear I didn't want to stop. Now I know he couldn't be a virgin because no one knows how to move their hips like that and be a virgin. Its impossible. I personally don't know how he wasn't hard as a rock, because even I was turned on.

Once the song was over, I stopped, turned around. Completely horrified at my actions. Looked at him and walked off the little dance floor.

"Lily!"

I went and hid on the stair case to think for a moment.

Why did I do that? Why have I been acting like that lately? I don't like him do I? I couldn't deny that I wasn't physically attracted to him. And I couldn't deny that he had changed. And if I forgot who he was and all our history, I would fancy him. If I looked strictly at his personality. Who he is, not who he was. Could I let go of my old feelings?

Hadn't I already?

"Lil?" I looked up, and there was James. "Look, I'm really sorry, I should have stopped that, I just, I couldn't—"

I put my hand up on his shoulder. "That one was me James." He looked confused and elated. "And I'm not sorry." I leaned a little closer to him.

"Lily." He whispered, coming in closer to me. I nodded at him. He took my face in my hand. "You didn't have any fire whiskey did you?" I laughed softly and shook my head no.

"I'm completely sober."

He grasped both my cheeks, "Thank god." He leaned in the last inch and our lips brushed together quickly. I heard him sigh in bliss and he came back again. This time harder. Bruising my lips with his force. I couldn't get enough. I wanted more. I twisted my hands in his hair in an attempt to get him closer. His lips moved fast against mine. His tongue begged for the entrance I craved. We both moaned at contact. He searched my mouth, determined to memorize every crevasse. My hands dug into his scalp. His hand on my cheek slid down to my neck. He touch burned my skin. I was on fire. I couldn't think; I didn't want to. All I wanted was him closer. He pulled back and we both took a deep gulp of air, only for me to pull him closer, now entering his mouth. He groaned loudly as I tasted him for the first time. Our tongues dueled for power. My hands were grasping his face, growing hotter by the second.

We finally had to pull away for air. Our foreheads were pressed together as we panted, our chests falling and rising with each breath.

"James." I whispered.

"Wait, not yet." He leaned in and gave three sweat butterfly kisses on my lips. They were soft and gentle, they made my heart ache as my mind went into overdrive. Fantasies of him kissing every part of my body like that had me about to combust.

"Lily, please, please, please, don't regret that."

I shook my head, looking into his eyes. Our hands were still grasping each others faces and necks, foreheads together.

"I wont."

"You promise?"

I kissed him, lightly, hesitantly, "Promise."

It was strange to be kissing him. It was weird that was I, if I really thought about it. But right then, when we were close and we were kissing, I'd never felt like anything else in the world was righter.

"You have no idea how happy I am." He confessed, with a smile that lighted up our dark staircase.

I smiled back, "We should get back to the party."

He nodded and helped me up with offering a hand. I took it, and he didn't let go.

"Perfect timing mate! We're about to announce the winners of our sexy costume contest. Though, it looks like you two already got your sexy on…" He winked, and I blushed scarlet. My poor blonde wig, it will probably have to be thrown out.

"So the winner for the men is….." He looked at the tally board. "What?! Theres no way he looks sexier than me!" Everyone laughed, "Fine, fine, let the 'way less sexier' James Bond approach." James looked down at me, kissed me, in front of everyone, and jumped up on the table next to Sirius.

There was a collection of gasps.

Melanie and Charlotte gave me a look that clearly read, "I want details don't you dare miss a second!"

Sirius stared at James. "I was just kidding! You two! Finally! Holy shit! About bloody time!"

"Shut up Sirius. Now what did I win?"

"The sexiest girl costume is…." He looked at the tally. "Oh this wont go over well….Um, the skanky Dorothy from the wizard of Oz…."

None other than Jenevieve walked up.

She went to stand on the table.

She sure got 'skanky' down.

She wore braided pig tails high. Her blue and white dress ended right after her ass ended. Her ruby red shoes were 4 inch stilettos.

What a whore.

She went up to James and cuddled up, "hey sexy." She greeted.

He looked repulsed.

"Um you two get one of this," He pulled out two flasks with pin up girls on them, "And you two get to dance…"

"Sex Machine" By James Brown came on.

"You've got to be joking…" I mumbled.

****around 3 am****

"Alright everyone, this is right when it turns from 'not too late' to 'late' so everyone grab your shit and get to bed." Sirius pronounced.

People laughed and started heading up the staircase, I stayed with James for a moment.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow, alright Lils?"

"Your not going to ask me to Hogsmeade?" I smirked.

He took my hand, "I want to make sure we're both sober and there's no possibility I'm dreaming this."

"You're such a sap." I smiled.

"Yep, but now, I'm your sap."

"I thought we were discussing this tomorrow."

"Right." He walked me to the girls staircase, "Well goodnight, Lily Flower."

"Good night James." He leaned in and gave me a chaste good night kiss.

He smirked, "See? James Bond always gets the girl."

"Scourgify!" Sirius yelled in the back ground.

"Goodnight Sirus!" I yelled, going up the staircase.

"James, get your ass over here and help me fix this armchair. Some idiot broke it."

I looked back once and James was one his knee looking at the chair. He looked up at me, smiled and winked.

Damn, he was gorgeous.

I smiled and walked into my dormitory.

I expected for the girls to be ready to pounce on me the moment I stepped through the door. But they were sitting on my bed, with serious looks on their faces.

"Lily…."

"What?"

"You have a letter from Petunia."

"Petunia? Like my sister Petunia?"

"And you have a note from Dumbledore. It says that you need to report to his office first thing in the morning. With a close friend." Melanie said softly.

"W-why?"

And the plot thickens!

The kiss? Did you like it? Tell me!

Before anyone asks no, they are not together yet.

Please review! Come on guys its my birthday!

Love,

Jenna
