Okay, next chapter. You know the spiel. I don't own anything. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I feel special when you do! Okay hope you enjoy.
Imagine everyone's surprise when Lily bypassed James and approached Sirius. She lowered her voice a few octaves and said alluringly, "Hello Sirius."
Sirius grinned, "Hellllooo Lily."
Go, go, go
go, go, go, go Shorty
It's ya Birthday
We're gonna party like it's ya Birthday
We're gonna sip Bacardi like it's ya Birthday
And u know we don't give a fuck if it's not you're Birthday
You can find me in da Club bottles full of bub
Look mammi, I got the X if ya in to taking drugs
I'm into havin' sex, I ain't into making love
So come give me a hug if you into getting rubbed
James was not easily shocked. In fact he was proud of his calm and collected demeanor. So he was quite surprised to find that when Sirius walked away with his future conquest he was livid. He turned to Peter, grabbed him by his collar and flung him against the bar.
"Isn't there a bloody rule about taking your friend's future acquisition? I want some justice."
Peter turned red, which he always did when he was confused and stammered out, "Well, there hasn't been an official rule. It was always assumed that you three wouldn't tread on each other's girls. "
James tightened his grip, slowly cutting of Peter's airflow, "I'm not talking about treading. I'm talking about fucking each other's girls. I want Lily and he knows it."
Remus, who had been calmly watching the whole incident, removed James' hands from Peter. He sat James down on a barstool and ordered two beers. Then he turned to James and proceeded to talk in a slow and steady voice.
"I want you to understand something before we continue with this fiasco. Making Lily attractive did help your incentive to continue with your inevitable conquest of her but your actions did have some unforeseen consequences. When you beautified Lily you gave her the upper hand. She now is sexually attractive and intelligent, which happens to be a dangerous combination. Naturally along with being beautiful she is probably quite irritated at you for making her beautiful."
James did not understand Remus' rationale because although he was quite knowledgeable about getting girls into bed he did not necessarily know how to comprehend their actual emotions and desires.
"Remus, I consider myself capable of a superior intelligence but what you just said makes absolutely no sense to me. Can you please explicate your love rationalization in layman terms?
"Lily is hot now. She will want to get revenge on you for making her hot because girls are grudge holding, revenge seeking maniacs," Remus paused before continuing and eyed James thoughtfully, "Considering your track record with women I'm surprised you're not already dead."
Instead of taking offense James smirked, "It's cause I'm so damn good."
"Okay but back to Sirius. I understand that you are angry with Sirius right now, but before you act in haste please consider whom we are talking about. Sirius Black is one of the most rash and brazen people I know, excluding yourself. He frequently thinks with his sexual hormones rather than his brain cells. Now, instead of acting with abandon why not seduce Lily with your charm and wit."
James looked at his friend, incredulity written across his face, "Are you sure that will work? Every other girl that has had the pleasure of fucking me has responded well to my uses and abuses policy. It had them begging for more."
Remus shrugged, "If Lily is anything like Morgan, she'll want respect. I think Lily can sense your insincerity."
James paused thoughtfully and finally released his hold on Peter, "You know Remus. I always wondered how you managed to bag all the girls because I always thought you were a sickly looking bastard but I think the girls actually like that romantic bullshit you spew out."
Remus looked at James with a tired expression, "I'll take that as a warped compliment."
James clapped Remus and Peter on the back and sauntered onto the dance floor to reclaim his prize. He moved with classic self-assurance, one strand of hair falling across his chiseled face. James stared straight ahead at Lily ignoring all of the simpering beauties around him. His careless, detached disposition drove girls mad. So in order to capture this demi-god's attention girls often became irrational. He was flashed, pinched, groped, and sexually assaulted several times while moving through the crowd. However, this treatment didn't faze James. He was used to this semi-celebrity status. He was a Marauder, one of the most coveted men at school.
Lily was desperately confused on how to dance with Sirius. Once they had moved onto the dance floor Lily's confidence had evaporated. Sirius placed his hands slightly below her hips, moving her body with the music. Lily grew frantic as she realized she probably looked like a fool. Her distress must have shown clearly on her face because Sirius gave her a small smile.
"Have you ever danced before?" He asked loudly.
"Of course," Lily said and Sirius looked at her doubtfully, "Well no. Not like this but I'll pick it up."
Sirius nodded, his dark eyes were lit up with enthusiasm, "I'll help you."
He pulled Lily closer and he felt her body tense up. Sirius leaned to whisper in her ear, "Don't worry. I'm not like James. I don't cast spells on girls that are already beautiful."
Lily could swear that her heart had skipped a beat when he spoke those words. The moment was perfect. She was being held by a fantasy who was murmuring sweetly into her ear. True, it wasn't James but Sirius was just as attractive, if not more so. She looked up at Sirius, taking in his sensual lips, captivating eyes, and it was hard for Lily to deny her attraction to him. However, her history with the Marauders was not favorable. Lily knew that Sirius was bad news and even though her heart longed to accept him, her mind would not. She tried to push away the doubt that plagued her but it did no good. Every instinct that Lily possessed told her that Sirius was only interested in one thing and she was pretty sure the spell James cast had a lot to do with it. But as she felt jealous eyes watching her back Lily knew that she would work harder than she had ever to make sure every single girl in that room was green with envy.
So with a girlish laugh and a flip of her hair, Lily cast a smoldering glance at Sirius, "Oh I know you're not James. You're so much better than James. Taller, darker, and much more dangerous."
Sirius leaned in, his handsome features smiling, "Really? I would never have pictured you as being the kind of girl that likes risks. Tell me more."
Lily winced but quickly put on a brave face, "Why don't I show you?"
She grabbed his chin and gave him a soft kiss. Sirius deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue inside her mouth. He lowered his hands slowly, massaging her back. As she felt his gentle hands on her skin Lily couldn't stop herself from letting out a small moan. This night was quickly turning into something she wouldn't be able to control for much longer. Thankfully, someone chose to control things for Lily at the moment. She felt a strong grip on her arm and her eyes narrowed when she turned and saw James.
"Oy, what do you think you're doing?" Sirius asked angrily.
"Taking back what's mine." James answered, "Let's go Lily." He took her hand and tried to pull her towards him.
Sirius grasped Lily's other hand, "She was dancing with me and if I know girls, and I do, she was enjoying herself."
"Well Lily had her fun but now I think I deserve some time with her."
From the bar Peter turned to Remus, "I take it from your earlier speech about respect for Lily that you don't exactly condone James' behavior."
Remus lit a cigarette, "You're bloody right, Peter. I don't condone this behavior at all. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to find Morgan. From the looks of it Lily is about to throw a tantrum and I'd prefer to be far away if she happens to cast any spells."
Peter considered his advice and nodded, "I'll think I'll step outside myself. For a bit of fresh air, you know?"
Sirius and James were inches apart from each other at this point and even though the music was pulsating the crowd had come to a halt. Le Slut was usually an interesting and happening place to be but this event was plain fascinating. James Potter and Sirius Black, renowned friends coming to blows over a girl. Granted she was hot but her physique was merely a magical facade. Most girls were tingling with resentment. No one could understand why James and Sirius were so concerned with this measly, goody two-shoe, prude.
Most envious out of all the girls at Le Slut were two girls seated in the darkest booth in the darkest corner, both heavily sucking on their cigarettes.
"What the hell does she have that I don't?" Aidan Swavely asked her friend, "She has tits. Big fucking deal. They're not even real!"
Next to her, Brittany Prescott studied Lily, "Her looks are sort of exotic, if you're into red heads."
Aidan took a sip of her martini, "Maybe if you like pasty, skinny, stupid bitches. Two weeks ago no one even knew who she was and James does one spell and all of a sudden she's a goddess. What about the naturally beautiful people, like me?"
Before you judge Aidan as being cocky it must be taken into account that she really was beautiful. She was a Slytherin who happened to be incredibly gorgeous and like most gorgeous people Aidan used her looks as a utility. She also took the attraction of men for granted. Boys had fallen under her entrancing spell within minutes of meeting her. It was odd because although her ancestors had been inbreeding for centuries Aidan had turned out perfect. She possessed illuminating violet eyes and cascading chestnut hair. To enhance her natural beauty she had perfected her graceful poise and toned body. Most guys but not all guys fell hard for Aidan. The one exception had been James Potter. The pair had a thing going in their fifth year, which had fallen flat after they fucked. Naturally Aidan was still mad about him.
Brittany blew smoke into Aidan's face, startling her out of her daydreams, "James is hot but I'm not quite clear on your obsession with the boy."
"Well you wouldn't," Aidan retorted nastily, "You had a thing for Remus who is obviously quite gay."
"Remus is not gay. He's just sensitive." Brittany said, narrowing her brown eyes, "We fucked. That's all. There was no chemistry except for a sexual attraction. Besides I'm too proud to salivate after someone who I was with two years ago."
"The reason you were able to forget about Remus so quickly is probably because of his lack of gumption in the sack. James was bloody brilliant."
Brittany choked on her drink, "You didn't even get off."
Aidan rubbed out her cigarette, "So he wasn't that considerate but he had a perfect body and a huge dick. I have a perfect body. We're perfect for each other," she smashed her hand on the table, "If I would just have one more chance with him I would rock his world."
Brittany sighed and looked at her friend, "As your best chum and accomplice I feel it is my duty to tell you to move on. James pursued you for a week and you put out and he hasn't looked at you since. That's how all the Marauders work. Even Remus did that to me and he is supposed to be the compassionate one. In a week James or Sirius, depending on who wins out the fight tonight, will shag Lily and she'll be in your position. She'll be isolated, alone, and devastated. No one will remember her except as being that stuck-up prefect."
Aidan shook her head, "The whole thing doesn't make sense. It's like a game to them. They just want to fuck as many girls as possible."
"We'll never know what goes through their heads. Most likely nothing goes through except for the occasional sex brain wave." Brittany said sympathetically, "In a year we'll have graduated and James Potter will be just a memory."
Aidan gritted her perfect, sparkling, white teeth, "Not if I have anything to do with it."
The night was rapidly turning into a disaster for Lily. Yes, her original plan had been to make James envious of her and Sirius but this was getting ridiculous. An interested crowd had gathered around the three students and many of the young adults began to place bets on who would win out. The two friends were increasing the harshness of their insults and the friendly rivalry was becoming an open war.
"You can't bloody satisfy Lily the way I could," James shouted, ignoring the stares his temper tantrum was drawing.
Sirius crossed his arms across his chest and raised his eyebrow at James' antics,"You turned Lily into a spectacle. Your spell was practically the joke of the school. I'm only trying to subdue her fragile feelings."
For starters Lily was already outraged and Sirius' self righteous pity was too much, "You," she began and pointed threateningly at Sirius and James, "are two conceited little boys fighting over something neither of you will ever have. Tonight was a joke. I was trying to piss you both off and I obviously succeeded. Three weeks ago none of you had ever even looked at me and now that James' little prank happened all of a sudden you're turning into pansies"
"Lily, I didn't mean" James interrupted, moving forward to try to comfort her.
She blinked away the tears that were starting to form, "Shut it James. I used to genuinely like you but now I see your true character. You are a lying, slinking, conceited arse and if I never see you again that would be too soon."
Lily turned and strode angrily out of the club. Sirius and James looked at each other, chagrin on their faces.
Sirius threw his hands in the air, "Go after her James. She's a damned good kisser but there are enough girls here who would be willing to satisfy me. You can have the bitchy redhead."
James nodded and took off after Lily's fading figure.
James found her crying in the alley behind Le Slut, no longer able to control the staggering emotions that had been affecting her all week. He approached her quietly, unsure of how to console her.
"Lily?" he said hesitantly.
"What do you want?"
"Look, I'm really sorry for everything. I honestly didn't mean to hurt you." James said, which wasn't really a lie because he had not wanted to hurt Lily. He just wanted to make her better looking.
"James, don't you understand?" she turned to him, her green eyes glistening with tears.
James usually cringed from woman emotions. He preferred not to stay in bed whispering into his lover's ear or wooing the girl who caught his interest. It was uncomfortable and embarrassing. So, when James saw the state of Lily's feelings he was struck dumb.
Lily continued with her tirade much to James' despair. He had no desire to feel guilty, which looked suspiciously more likely with Lily's increasing tears.
"People have feelings, James. I have feelings and it's ludicrous the way you objectify women. You, Sirius, and Remus have always used women as tools and just because you turned me into some gorgeous girl doesn't mean I'll be falling at your feet in praise."
At this time, Remus' advice began to float back to James.
The words spoken by Remus, "Be kind " resounded in his head.
"Does that mean I should try to kiss her?" James asked the voice speaking to him. He really did want to kiss her. She looked so banging in that skimpy little outfit.
"No you idiot. Tell her she's right and you're sorry and you'd better make it sincere, you dumbass."
He interrupted her, "You're right. I was too bold but it's hard when you have girls constantly throwing themselves at you. You were the first girl who ever tried to reject my advances. I thought maybe that you were nervous because I'm so good-looking but now I know better."
Lily had been expecting anger or maybe even scorn from James but an apology was something she was unprepared for. She stood in the alley, her back against the wall with her mouth dropped open.
"You are apologizing to me?"
James bowed his head modestly, "Maybe we could just start over, as friends?"
Lily nodded slowly, "Just one question. You didn't really need tutoring, did you? You were just trying to get close to me."
"No. I'm ranked tenth in the class," he looked up at Lily, "Do you want me to walk you back to school?"
She was taken aback by his courtesy but decided to disincline his offer, "No that's all right. I need some time to think. Besides, you should go back to the club. I saw some girls eyeing you like a piece of meat."
James laughed, "Nah, those girls are so played out. I'll go back and see what Peter's up to. I'm sure Remus is wrapped up in Morgan and who knows what Sirius is up to."
Lily smiled, "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah. See you." James waved, flashing her a lopsided grin.
Lily's heart stopped at his smile and as she walked back to Hogwarts she remembered the way his eyes gleamed when he laughed.
When Lily had rounded the corner James let out a high sigh of relief. He thought he had almost lost the chance to bag Lily. However, the look on her face when he apologized renewed his hope for success. James walked back into Le Slut hoping to find a girl who was more willing to meet his needs for the night.
"James!" Sirius called him from the dance floor where he was currently making out with a sexy blonde, "This is Brittany. Brittany this is James."
She smiled, "Charmed, I'm sure."
James eyed her voluptuous body, "You, my dear, are quite the charming one."
Brittany rolled her eyes, "Don't you even know who I am?"
James glanced at Sirius, "Should I?"
"My best friend is Aidan Swavely," Brittany smirked at the blank look on his face, "You guys hooked up in our fifth year."
Sirius smacked James' arm, "Yeah she was that hot little violet eyed bird."
Reckoning dawned on his face," Oh yeah. She wouldn't happen to be here, would she?"
Brittany sighed, "Over in the corner."
"Sweet. Well, I'll leave you two alone. I'm going to go talk to Angel."
"It's Aidan." Brittany called to him.
James spun around, "Right. I should take care to remember that."
Sirius looked at Brittany, "He's a dolt. Now where were we?"
Brittany smiled, "Right here." and she drew him into a long kiss.
Aidan sat in the corner, all alone. For the first time in her life she felt rejected and hideous. Sirius Black had come and taken Brittany onto the dance floor where they were going at it like bitches in heat. It wasn't that Aidan hadn't had any offers to dance or shag but all the offers had been from hideous and lower class men. Then she saw James approaching and quickly Aidan tried her best to look indifferent.
He slid into the booth next to her.
"Hey."
"Hello," she answered snottily.
"I remember you."
Aidan turned and looked at him," I clearly do not remember you."
James laughed," Of course you do. I believe we had a thing our fifth year."
Aidan was attempting to play the snobby Slytherin but James had such an effect on her that she was having a hard time, "Oh yes. I thought you died."
At this James could not stop grinning with delight, "You are a feisty one." He leaned over and began to kiss her neck, "I remember that night very well. I'm sure going back to the school and joining me in my room would help to jolt your memory."
Aidan began to weaken, his fantastic kisses were turning her on, "Are you going to ditch me like last time?"
James bit his lip, "Ditch you? You were supposed to contact me."
Aidan turned to him, "James. The last time I tried to talk to you, you pretended you didn't know my name."
"Quite the accident but forgive me."
"I do need to get laid," Aidan said, "What the fuck. Let's go."
"All right."
The two slid out of the booth and Sirius flashed James a thumbs up when he saw who he was leaving with. However, Remus was less enthusiastic. He managed to catch up with James before they left.
"Are you crazy?" he hissed, "You've already had enough close calls with Lily."
James patted Remus on the back, "Relax. I need to get my kicks in while I'm still young. Besides, Lily is practically on her knees for it. Give me a month and she'll be mine. This Angel chick is only a distraction."
"Well, you're lucky Morgan didn't see you leaving with her."
"Why where is she?"
"In the lav, checking her hair or something."
James looked disapprovingly at Remus, "You really need to hit that. You're losing opportunities with other girls."
"I know I'm trying." The truth was that Remus was lying to James. He did want to have sex with Morgan but he knew after it happened that he would no longer be expected to hang out with her. Remus was growing attached to her and no longer wanted to love and leave her. He couldn't tell James that or any of the Marauders. So instead he suffered in silence, enjoying Morgan's company while he could.
Meanwhile Peter watched Aidan and James leave. He knew Aidan was nothing but trouble. She was conceited, proud, and manipulative but she was also incredibly sexy according to James. Peter also hoped she wouldn't cause a problem for James hooking up with Lily. Their years of hard work would be blown up all because James wanted to screw some filthy little wench.
Well, Peter thought as he flicked away his cigarette, It wouldn't be the first time some bitch has gotten in the way of a lasting legacy.
And another night at the raucous club, Le Slut, came and went.
Next Chapter: What happens after James hooks up with Aidan? Will she kill him when she realizes he is using her? Will Lily ever stop being so gullible?
Ha that's me trying to be dramatic.neh not working. Okay but I kind of felt bad for ending it like that but I want to leave interesting stuff for the next chapter.
So read, review, have fun. Reviews help my incentive to write.
