The night of the "date" I wore a short cut black dress. I mean, it was
short in all aspects. Low neckline, low skirt thing.just low. AND tight.
It would be enough to make James drool. I smiled to myself in the mirror,
and realized I didn't recognize myself. I gently pulled out a comb and
untangled the last of it. It fell straight and silk-like down my back. I
shivered and hoped it wouldn't be freezing where-ever we're going. Kylie
chose then to walk in.
"Woah, totally.like, wow," she said as soon as she saw me. "I never
thought that you I'm-The-Reserved-Lily-Potter would dress like that for a
guy you hate."
"The game is called torture," I smirked.
"Ah, I see. Revenge for the 'take off your shirt' stunt. For a
minute I thought you were trying to steal my boyfriend. That would upset
me," she said as she smiled.
"No way. Remus is sweet and all, but sooo not my type."
"Then what is your type?"
"Tall, dark, handsome, intense curiosity, unbelievable eyes,
mysterious, a prankster, kinda quirky, strong, loyal, and talented, and
perhaps one flaw or two." I trailed.
"Lily." she said locking eyes with me.
"What?"
"You just described James Potter."
"Did not"
"Did too."
"Prove it."
"Okay, Lily. The guy is six foot something. He's got dark hair
rather tanned skin. Half the girls are in love with him, and you must
admit he is cute. He has the curiosity of anyone. You know how much time
he spends interrogating the teachers and their methods. His eyes are
gorgeous. No one knows him that well, which gives him a mysterious air.
Hell, even Peeves is scared of what pranks the boy can come up with.
Quirky: well, I must say 'take off your shirt' in the middle of a hallway
isn't normal. You've seen the guy lift whole tables. He's a talented
wizard. His flaw: glasses. You just described James Potter"
"Ewww! No! I'm changing my perfect guy description!" I screamed.
Kylie laughed and took her wand.
"Lavas prontas" she said quickly. Immediately, she was changed into
an outfit similar to mine but a bit more conservative excluding the fact
that she chose the color red. "Shall we be off then?"
"Totally." I smiled and we walked downstairs to the Commons. Remus
was there awaiting Kylie politely in jeans and a t-shirt. He whistled.
"Now where did you two come from? Heaven or the other place? I
mean, yeah, you're as pretty as angels, but only little devils can be that
hot," he said. I laughed at his lame pick-up line, and Kylie giggled
beside me.
James chose that moment to come rushing into the scenario. He wore
an open vest and jeans with a black belt. No shirt? Wait, who is
tormenting whom? So very, very lost. "Hey, " he said quickly as he ran a
hand through his hair rather calmly. He looked me over and he looked Kylie
over. "Amusing. Who's going with Lily?"
"You are, Stupid," Remus chastised.
"Oh, well, that's interesting. Why wasn't I informed of this?" At
that moment, Skye came down the stairs in a blue dress more conservative
then Kylie and I, but her true beauty showed through.
"Informed of what, Jamesie?" Skye asked as she walked past us to hug
him.
"Oh, dear.Remus, you can't invite me on a date and not tell me I have
an assigned date. I invited Skye because I didn't want to be there and
just.be there," James said trying to keep his anger in check. "And Skye,
do not call me Jamesie. My name is strictly James. I must say, you look
very lovely tonight. It's a shame not a flower alive can match your
beauty, but I seem to have found one that might suit you."
With that, he pulled a small box out of his pocket. He opened it before us
all as though it was just he and Skye. Inside was a pure gold necklace
with a blood red rose on it. His necklace glinted black in the flickering
light of the candles, and I wondered again why he wore it. He put the
necklace around her neck gently with ease. Okay, Remus gave a lame but
cute pick-up line. James gives some girl I'm betting he doesn't know a
necklace of pure gold. Remus elbowed James. "What?"
"Mr. Romantic, you're forgetting something or should I say someone?"
"I'm not into bigamy.or going out with two girls at the same time.
That results in nothing but trouble. I'll see if Sirius can come and go
with Lily because.I asked Skye. I'm sorry, Lily, but its not like you're
disappointed or anything. You basically hate my guts. I'll figure out a
way to apologize properly another time. I'll go get Sirius," he said as he
raced off. I glared at Remus.
"What? Its not my fault the boy makes assumptions," he said trying
to cower.
"He's right. Its not his fault. I'm sorry, Lils. You totally tried
hard, and you look awesome."
"Yeah, well, apparently, it wasn't worth it."
"If you don't mind my saying, James is right, you don't even like
him. The way you two are at each others necks all the time," Skye
interrupted.
"No one asked you!" I screamed at her.
"No one asked whom what?" Sirius asked as he ran back with James.
Unlike James he was in a vest that actually had a shirt under it. Major
difference in James's appearance was the fact that his vest was half off
because in the rush he was in it had nearly fallen off. I looked away
ashamed of the thoughts that came to mind.
"Nothing," Remus said quickly. James put an arm around Skye after
readjusting the vest.
"Hey, Lily. James made me promise no pranks or anything, so.let's
go," Sirius said with his normal cheer.
"One rule: Touch me and die," I said as sweetly as possible.
"Let' s just go, we're already late," Remus said as he took Kylie's
hand within his own. Why was I so angry? I didn't want to go out with
James.
Kylie and Remus walked out the door to be followed by James and Skye.
Sirius and I tagged along like third wheels until James saw Malfoy. James
got really excited and released Skye. Malfoy noticed our group and walked
over.
"Hmm..this is interesting. Kylie and Remus," he dismissed them with
no better insults, "James the shirtless git and Skye the.oh I don't know."
With that those two were dismissed from him. "Ah, Sirius the prankster and
Lily the newly discovered whore."
"Excuse me, but you didn't just call Lily Evans a whore, did you?"
James asked politely.
"And if I did, Potter? What're you going to do about it?" Malfoy
asked.
"Oh, just this," James said as he rammed a fist into Malfoy's nose.
"And maybe this," he said as he kicked Malfoy's stomach. "I suppose that's
it. So did you or did you not call her a whore?" Malfoy wiped some of
the blood from his nose off when he got up. "I suggest you do not anger
me," James said warningly.
"I have some very powerful friends. I wouldn't mess with me if I
were you," he said and with that he was gone. James' eyes closed for a
moment and he seemed off balance momentarily. "I'm fine," he said before
anyone could ask.
"James, you seriously need help. You totally trash Malfoy without a
sweat, and as soon as he's gone you nearly trip and fall seemingly over
nothing," Sirius said as he balanced his friend.
"I'm FINE," James said with a growl emerging from the back of his
throat. He took two deep breaths. "Really. Sorry if I worried you. Just
not feeling all that great. I'll head back, you can go, I'll catch you
later." With that he ran away swiftly and before he was out of sight the
vest fell off. Well, THAT makes sense. The boy can't stand but he can run
as though a mafia is after him.
