Ch4. "Charming James; Drunk James"
~*~*~ ~Charming James~
James waited patiently outside of the potions room for his objective, Jacqueline Anderson, to appear . . . he decided to play the nice-shy-guy with a touch of flirty-badass-guy with her . . . to loosen her up a bit.
"Jacqueline, if you aren't busy later tonight . . ." James begun shyly and looked down at the floor, but was cut off by the pretty girl with the sexy bright blue eyes grinning at him.
"Okay" she giggled and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Really?" he sighed happily and smiled "Because I really need help in . . . Potions" he grinned.
"Okay . . . see you after supper then?" she asked grinning.
"Yea sure . . ." he replied and ruffled his hair to act as if he was nervous or something "can you meet me in front of the Head tower?" he asked.
"All right" she smiled and adjusted her book-bag strap on her shoulder.
James looked intensely into her eyes, while holding her cheek in his hand and ran his thumb over her cheek bone and said, "You have to most beautiful eyes I have ever seen" softly.
He saw the deep rose color creep up her cheeks and a small smile graze her lips. "Thank you," she whispered.
"Let me carry that for you" he said gently, took the heavy book bag from her, and slung it over his shoulder. He held out his arm so she could loop hers in it and they set off for Transfiguration class.
((A/N: what some men will do to get a girl in the sack! Lol))
~*~*~
"How did it go?" Sirius asked at dinner that evening.
"Great" James smiled and looked over at Jacqueline with her friends. She turned her head to see who was staring at her, rolled her eyes playfully, and smiled at James who was winking at her again.
"Well?" Remus asked.
"Well what?" James asked back, taking a gulp of his pumpkin juice.
"What technique did you use on her that mad her 'melt'?" he grinned.
"I mixed it up a bit" James sighed, "sort of a nice guy with an edge thing going on"
"And she bought it?" Sirius asked, amazed.
"A'course she bout it!" James smiled "I'm bloody James Potter, who can resist?"
"Evans" Peter chimed in.
"Besides that wench" James sighed, "not like I'd do that anyways," he grunted.
"Yea, alright Prongsy" Peter grinned.
"Shut up Wormtail," James growled, "I would never in my right mind bed Evans"
Remus grinned at the two arguing Marauders, and then looked over the four giggling girls at the far end of the table. His gaze went from Lily, the elegant and beautiful one who spoke her mind and followed the rules; to Ashlea, the flirty, naughty innocent one who took no crap from anyone; to Nichole, the sexy and charming Frenchie who stole the hearts of many Gryffindors and even Slytherins; and then lastly on his darling girlfriend Sara, the American sweetheart with a bit of an attitude.
However, Remus adored her, he always had a thing for American women . . . maybe it was the accent, or the way they laughed. Or maybe it was just that particular American girl sitting over at the end of the table, who was a little bad-ass girl, with a softer side and with only a touch of her hand, could she take away the edginess attitude of him and make him more composed.
Sara felt someone staring at her so she turned her head to find Remus smiling at her and winking. She smiled back and gave a little wave, and went back to chatting with her friends.
"You've got it bad mate" James smirked.
Remus glared at the Marauder, shook his head smirking, then continued to attack his mashed potatoes, showing no mercy.
~*~*~
"And this is the Heads commonroom" James smiled and led Jacqueline to the nearest sofa to sit down.
"Oh, this is very nice" she gasped, looking around the room in awe.
"So, Jacqueline . . ." James begun.
"Call me Jackie, its easier" she interrupted and grinned.
"Okay . . . Jackie, do you think you can help me with . . . potions?" he asked, letting his eyes wonder down her legs and back up to her chest . . . then finally to her face.
"Sure" she said quietly. "What do you need help with?"
"Can I ask you a question?" James asked, scooting closer to the Gryffindor girl nervously biting her bottom lip. "What do you get when you mix . . . a gorgeous, sexy girl and a Marauder?"
Jacqueline giggled and blushed a bit "I don't know . . . what do you get?"
James wrapped an arm around her waist and leaned next to her ear "Loads of fun" he whispered and gently kissed her ear, making the hair on the back of her neck stand up and goose-bumps form on her arms and legs.
"Really?" she teased, and began to loosen up a bit "What kind of fun are we talking about James?" she asked and ran her fingers down his cheek, and gently brushed her lips with his.
"Well, you see" James begun, running a hand up her thigh "if I tell you- rather show you . . . we would have to go up to my room" he grabbed her waist and flung her over his shoulder, making her giggle and squeal all the way up.
~*~*~
James laid Jacqueline gently on his big, king-sized bed and sat to her side, tracing pattern on her thigh as he kissed her passionately . . . his tongue gently caressing hers . . . he took away the hand from her thigh and replaced it on her hip, rubbing gentle circles with his thumb.
"Mmm . . . James" Jacqueline moaned as he cupped her breast, squeezing gently over the thin fabric of her tee shirt.
"This has got to go," he whispered and peeled the tight white shirt over her head, revealing a lace flesh colored bra, and threw it to the corner of his room.
"Mmm . . . yes, we are indeed going to have loads of fun" he smirked and dived in for another kiss.
~*~*~
"Goodbye" James said to Jacqueline and kissed her gently before she walked away to the Gryffindor tower "You sure you don't want me to walk you?" he called.
Jacqueline turned around and smiled "I'm sure" she called back and blew a kiss to James. He acted as if the kiss knocked him over and jumped back and fell on the floor with a thump. He then stuck his fist in the air and shot up a thumb up. "I'm okay" he called, laughing.
"James you are going to hurt yourself one day!" she called and started walking away to the Gryffindor tower laughing.
~*~*~ ~The Drunk James~
James sat in the Heads commonroom awaiting his fellow Marauders so they could have a little late night get together thing.
He suddenly heard a knock, so he went to the door and swung it open to find three Marauder all with a bottle of firewhiskey and shot-glasses. "Hey Hey!" Sirius laughed "Lookie what we got!"
"Come in guys" James smiled and led them to the commonroom.
"Woah" Remus muttered, looking around the enormous room.
"Well . . . is the Ice Queen here?" Sirius asked.
"No, not yet . . . but when I hear her coming, you guys hide behind that curtain okay . . . don't want her to freak out or anything" he smirked.
"Yea" Remus sighed, "That's the last thing we need"
The four Marauders sat on the couch and talked about random things . . . mainly about the new 'hot' DADA professor, Professor Lenhert. Apparently, her story was that she was a pureblood graduate from Hogwarts about three years ago and decided to be a teacher of her favorite subject, DADA . . . she had long raven black hair and bright honey brown eyes with a creamy tan complexion (Spanish parents, raised in England). She was tall, about 5'9" and was very, very good-looking.
"Shh!" James hushed everyone and listened intently. "Curtain!" he whispered.
The three boys rushed behind the curtain and stayed there quietly.
James sat innocently on the sofa, pretending to be reading his DADA book when Lily walked in and didn't notice him, just kept walking to the stairs.
"You were out late" a he drawled.
Lily sighed "Well Potter, I wouldn't be late if wouldn't have brought that girl to come shag after supper!" she growled, "It really quite is degrading for her and rude to me that you didn't even think of putting a silencing spell on your little room" she scolded and walked up the stairs.
"Oh come on Evans, you know you liked it . . . you know that you wished it was you screaming my name up there" James smirked. He was clearly loving this.
"Don't flatter yourself Potter," Lily growled.
"Please, it would be your honor to shag me, it really would" he smirked again and winked at her.
Lily half grunted, half screamed, and stomped up the stairs "JAMES POTTER, YOU DRIVE ME ABSOLUTLY INSANE! AND I HATE YOU!" she yelled and slammed her door.
"You guys can come out now," James said coolly. After a minute, Sirius, Remus, and Peter came out from behind the window curtain, smiling and holding up the bottles of firewhiskey.
"Drinks all around!" James and Sirius laughed at the same time. They poured the firewhiskey in the four shot glasses, the four Marauders tipped their glasses and downed the drinks, wincing afterwards.
"Aah" Remus winced "Damn good stuff"
"You got that right" James grinned and poured himself another shot, and poured it down his throat, feeling the cold burning sensation and hissing at the nice burning of the throat. "So Padfoot, heard you . . . got Nichole to help you in Potions" he smiled.
"Yea" he smirked and downed another shot, shaking his head and wincing afterwards.
"So . . . how is she?" James smirked and sat down on the sofa behind him.
"Well, she is ama-"
"I KNOW YOU FOUR ARE NOT DOWN THERE HAVING SHOTS OF FIREWHISKEY ON A SCHOOL NIGHT" the four boys heard Lily yell down from her room.
"How did she know? We were quiet!" Remus gasped.
"AND IF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW I KNOW, PETER AND SIRIUS' SHOES WERE STICKING OUT FROM UNDERNETH THE CURTAINS!" she answered the pondering question.
"Damn" Sirius and Peter said quickly.
The Marauders waited until they heard the door shut and began to drink and talk again.
"Anyways, as I was saying Nichole is . . . amazing in bed" Sirius said smugly. "So . . . Moony . . . have you bedded Sara yet?" he asked grinning.
Remus blushed a bit abd looked at his shot glass, twirling it in his hands "No" he said so it was barely audiable.
"No?" Sirius asked shocked "Moony . . . you have bedded every girl you have dated since the fifth year in less than a week! Now . . . after a month you haven't had any?"
"Nope" he sighed and took a swig from his bottle intead of pouring it into the shot glass.
"She different or something?" James asked smirking.
"Please tell me that you have at least got to feel her up mate!" Sirius cried.
"Yea, she is different from all the rest . . . and yes Padfoot I do feel up my own girlfriend . . . shocker isn't it?" he replied sarcastically and grinned.
"You love her?" Peter asked quietly.
"Dunno" Remus sighed "maybe"
Sirius let his jaw fall and looked at Remus stunned "Moony! Wake up man! You cannot be in love! You are a Marauder! We . . . we have to stick together!" he cried again and took a long swig from his bottle.
"Having some separation issues Padfoot?" James asked, eyebrow raised.
"No . . . I think it's the whiskey though" he smirked and took yet another long swig from the bottle.
James looked around the room and lad down on the couch with his beloved bottle of firewhiskey that was not legal for him and started to chug a few times from it.
"Speaking of help in Potions" Remus said slyly "What happened with you and that Anderson girl?" he asked James.
"You know the rules Moony . . . I don't kiss and tell" he smiled.
"You mean you don't shag and tell" Sirius corrected.
"Precisely!" James said, "Which means I'm not going to tell you that I was banging Anderson in my room for at least an hour and I'm not going to tell you that she is one dirty girl at that"
"Okay" Remus sighed "if you really don't want to tell me" he smiled and started to laugh with all the others.
The Marauders kept talking about old girlfriends and flings for the rest of the night . . . drinking too much and laughing too loud at stupid jokes that made NO sense.
~*~*~
James was sleeping peacefully on the couch when all of a sudden, a bright light flooded over his eyelids, causing him to awake rather abruptly.
"Get up!" said an annoyingly cheery voice.
"Damnit woman!" James yelled and shaded his eyes from the light.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Potter" Lily replied with sarcasm dripping off of her every word "Did I . . . did I wake you? Oh yes that's right . . . I should have let you sleep in because . . . you and your little friends decided to have a little party and get drunk . . . on a school night"
"That's right" James mumbled, "Now go away Evans!"
"Excuse me, but I really don't have to . . . you see, if Dumbledore found out about what the four infamous Marauders were doing . . . I think that he would oh, I don't know . . . take your Head privileges" she shot back.
James thought to say something but thought better of it and shut his mouth and gave Lily the death glare instead. Lily rolled her eyes and stormed out of the commonroom.
Sirius looked at Remus, Remus looked at Sirius, and they laughed a little but stopped when it hurt their head too much.
"Wa'so funny?" James asked.
"You two are like an old married couple" Sirius grinned.
"Padfoot, I never want to hear me and Evans and the word married ever in the same sentence ever again" he replied and looked at the clock above the fireplace.
"Shit" Remus grunted and got up, steadying himself on a table "We're going to Miss breakfast"
