Exciting exciting chapter!!! Read and review purdy please!! Thank u!
Lucius and I sipped lattes while holding hands and walking around the castle.
"We've only got a few minutes before breakfast is over," I said. "I should be getting my books and stuff."
"Oh fine," said Lucius.
I felt awkward going to kiss him. What was wrong with me? I'd made out with plenty of guys before James ever came along. Hell, I'd kissed Lucius before!
I brushed my lips against his and turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist and kissed me hard. He brushed his tongue against my lips until I finally gave in and let his sweetness in my mouth, all the while knowing this was wrong, very wrong. And his grip on my wrist I hurt ! But then, Malfoy was always and forever will be very controlling and demanding, whether he means it or not. If this was one of James's kisses, I'd be loving it. But it was Lucius. I loved James; how could I be kissing I Lucius ?
It was all too much. I pulled away, wished him a good day, and left to get my books.
(James's POV)
"Hey, Jamesie! Look! It's Lily walking into your room naked !" said Sirius' voice.
I opened my eyes, jumped off my bed, and went, "Where?!"
Sirius and Remus sat there laughing to death.
"Well fuck you," I said. "Man, I was so I happy for a second there."
"Well I'm still happy," said Sirius. "Kemmy said yes!"
"Surprise, surprise," I muttered. "She's fancied you since first year."
"It's time for class," said Remus. "And James, you have Quidditch tonight."
"First sign of madness, acting like a daily planner," said Sirius. "Remus, you have Jamesly got to get a girlfriend."
"Actually," said Remus. "I asked out Amelia in Hufflepuff."
"Oooh, that sexy brunette with blue eyes?" asked Sirius. "That's awesome!"
"Congrats, Moony," I said, now feeling left out because I didn't have a girlfriend.
"Thanks. Well, let's go."
That night, I had plans to meet Kemmy in the Gryffindor common room at nine, after my Quidditch practice and a shower. Sirius and Remus were out and about, and I saw Lily leave the Head Dorm with Narcissa.
I sat in a chair by the fire while waiting for Kemmy, pondering my life and Lily for about ten minutes. Oddly, no one was in the common room.
Yesterday had been one of the best days of my life; with Lily at my side, everything was perfect. Without her, I was absolutely nothing.
I ruffled up my hair a little bit but then remembered that Lily loved that, so I smoothed it down again. Damn.
"Hey, James," said Kemmy, sitting down in an armchair across from me and pulling back her blond spiral curls.
"Oh hi, Kem." No emotion in my voice at all.
"So, do you have any ideas as to why you're out to kill me?"
"Um... not really..."
"Me neither," she said.
"Oh," I said. "Well, technically, weren't you out to kill me first, but I ended up killing you for self-defense?"
"Right," she agreed. "So then why was I out to kill I you ?"
"Let's make it good," I said. "Not a stupid reason."
"How about you were trying to sexually harass me," Kemmy started, "so then I tried to kill you, but then you killed me in self-defense?"
Wow. She was playing into my hands.
"Okay," I agreed. "Sure."
"So how does this start?" she asked.
I moved over to the chair next to her.
"Well how about it starts with me trying to kiss you," I suggested in a low and sexy voice.
"Gladly," she whispered back.
I gave her a light kiss to see if it was okay, and when she didn't refuse, I kept going. She ran her hands through my hair, and pretty soon she was straddling me and we were making out. I kept thinking, I Just pretend it's Lily. It's Lily. This is disgusting. I'm not kissing Kemmy. It's Lily. Why was I doing this anyway? To make Lily jealous? She wasn't even here to see me!
"Oh, James," Kemmy moaned as I kissed her neck.
I was on a roll. I just kept going. I slid my hands under her shirt. She moaned into my mouth even louder.
The portrait hole swung open.
"Jamesie! Kemmy! Yoohoo! Hey, Kemmy! Lily and Narcissa are here looking for you, Kem! Jame- oh..." Sirius' face fell.
Kemmy jumped off of me and pulled down her shirt.
I looked at everyone who had just walked in.
Sirius' face was just getting over the shock phase and was morphing into anger and disgust. Kemmy I was his girlfriend.
Remus just stood there with his mouth hanging open, as if he were saying, "How could you do this to Sirius or Lily?"
Lily, well she just kept up her act (if, indeed, she was putting up one). She shrugged and dragged Narcissa (who was just frozen) out of the portrait hole.
Kemmy ran up crying to her room.
"So, I'll just be going..." I said to Sirius and Remus. I tried walking to the portrait hole, but Sirius got there first and blocked the way.
"You said she was mine," he said dangerously. "You know, she's the first girl I ever felt this way about. I like her a lot, James. Do you have no respect for that? Just because Lily saw your true personality and left you doesn't mean you have to go around messing with my girlfriend."
This was the first time I'd ever seen Sirius act so close to his name. This new Sirius had no hint of a smile or joke on his face. I was actually scared of him.
"I- can I explain?"
"Explain to the nurse how you got this!"
Sirius punched me square in the jaw. Hard. I heard something crack and staggered back. My whole face felt numb. But I had Quidditch strength.
I sent a fist flying into Sirius' nose. Blood flew everywhere.
"Guys, stop!" cried Remus.
Soon Sirius and I were rolling around, doing as much damage to each other as possible. Remus was just standing there, looking horrified.
"WOULD YOU GUYS FREAKIN' STOP!" yelled Remus eventually.
By this time people had come down from their dorms to see what all the ruckus was about.
Sirius and I rolled away from each other and just laid on the ground, breathing heavily and bleeding in various places. My jaw was swollen to a few times its usual size, and I was sure it was broken.
"Let's get out of here," said Remus.
I tried opening my mouth to say okay, but my jaws wouldn't open. I nodded instead.
"Can you stand up?" asked Remus. He gave me and Sirius a hand up and dragged us out of the common room.
"That was absolutely despicable on both your parts," lectured Remus as we made our way up to the hospital wing. "James, I can't believe you had the nerve to do that! Totally out of character. I'm really disappointed. But Sirius, you should have discussed it rationally. Really, what did you get out of a fistfight other than a night in the hospital wing?"
"I got the satisfaction of knowing that I hurt him and I didn't care how much I got hurt in return," said Sirius grimly.
"What do you have to say, James?" asked Remus.
I pointed to my jaw.
"Ha! I broke that for you," laughed Sirius.
"This is ridiculous." Remus shook his head. "James, when you can talk, we're going to have a long discussion about our behavior. And then some apologies."
"No way am I apologizing," refused Sirius. "Nope. Ah, damn it." He held his robe sleeve under his nose as it started t bleed again.
I only shrugged. Yeah, I did owe Sirius a big apology and I knew it. He was only justified in punching me like that.
"Here we are," said Remus, opening the door for us and following us in.
"Mr. Black! Mr. Potter! What have you done this time?!" shrieked Madam Crap. That was seriously her last name. I loved her.
"They got into a fistfight," explained Remus. "We think James's jaw is broken. He can't talk."
"Up on the beds! The both of you!" ordered Crappy (which is what we called her). "Let's see, it's 10 o'clock; you'll have to stay the night."
"I'll stay with," said Remus.
(Lily's POV)
I acted indifferent until Narcissa and I were out in the corridor.
"Oh MY God! How DARE he! I mean, dude! Come on! One, I thought he like me! And, two, there's the fact that she's Sirius' girlfriend! Just unbelievable! And-" I let out a frustrated scream.
"Calm down, Lily," soothed Narcissa. "You were kissing Lucius, too, remember?"
I glared at her. "Shut up."
"Do you think Kemmy's okay?" asked Narcissa.
"Why wouldn't she be?" I said. "She was making out with James !"
"Well, Sirius caught her, so I don't think she'll be too happy."
"Just give her a second before we go to her," I said.
We sat down on the cold stone floor by a knight of armor.
A few minutes later, we heard Sirius' voice. "Ah, damn it."
"Quick, hide!" Narcissa whispered. She shoved me into the niche behind the knight and followed me in.
Sirius, James, and Remus walked by. James looked like he'd broken his jaw (my poor baby!) and Sirius' nose was bleeding like hell.
"Oh!" I let out a gasp.
"They probably beat each other up," whispered Cissa.
As soon as they rounded the bend, we stepped out and headed back to Gryffindor tower.
Everyone was standing in the common room talking about, presumably, the fight.
We marched up to Peter and Frank, who were discussing together. Peter shot a nasty glare at me.
"Dude, what have you got against me?" I asked him.
Narcissa cleared her throat. "We're here cuz we're looking for Kemmy."
"Yeah, did she go upstairs?" I asked.
"Why should I tell you?" Peter snapped.
"Cut the crap, wiseass," I swore at him. "I hate you; you hate me. The world goes around. Just tell me where she is. I'm not asking you to be my friend."
"She's upstairs, probably in her room," answered Frank.
"Just go and leave us alone," said Peter.
"For sure," I said. "Let's go, Cissa."
Kemmy was on her bed, on her stomach, crying her heart out.
"Kemmy, are you okay?" asked Cissa. "Why'd you do that?"
"I don't know," she sobbed. "It was all too good; I couldn't stop." Here she paused to blow her nose loudly. "I mean, I know I'm an awful person, and I did that to Sirius and all, and I just feel so bad !"
Now I started being mad at Kemmy, too. She was stealing my James!
"It's okay; you're not an awful person. You just made an awful mistake," said Cissa. "You need to go to the hospital win and apologize to Sirius."
"Hospital wing?"
"He and James beat each other up."
"It's no use; he won't take me back," sniffed Kemmy miserably.
"You'll never know if you don't try," I finally said. I wanted Kemmy to get back together with Sirius (if, indeed, you considered them broken up) so I wouldn't have to worry about her and James.
"I guess," Kemmy obliged. "Will you come with?"
"Oh, um, sure..." I said.
"Let's go," said Narcissa.
We entered the hospital wing a few minutes later. James and Sirius looked pretty healed, but they were getting into bed, so they were probably staying the night. Remus was just resting in an armchair.
They all looked up when we came in.
"Oh, God help us," muttered Sirius, and he rolled his eyes.
James avoided eye contact with me and suddenly seemed very interested in his fingernails.
"We came because Kemmy needs to apologize," said Cissa. I pushed Kemmy forward (she had been hiding behind me).
"Sirius," she started. "I- well I know how cliché this must sound, but I didn't really mean anything I did with James. I just kind of fell into this lustful trap. It's you I like- not him. I mean, no offense, James. I like you as a friend and all. You know I've always thought you and James were hot, but I really had the crush on you. I thought that if you ever asked me out, it would be like a joke. So I didn't really believe you when you said you really liked me. I guess you really do- or did, at least. I want to say sorry for doubting you. Sorry for hurting you like I did. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm really sorry. I understand if you can't be with me, but just know that I'll always remember those few hours that I was yours."
"Kemmy, wow," said Sirius, apparently shocked. "You know why I never asked you out before? I was afraid of the same thing- that you'd think I was joking you. But I was- shall I say- serious about you. But I was serious about you; now you realize that. But I just don't know if I could ever-"
"Don't say it," Kemmy interrupted. "You don't know if you could ever go out with me. It's okay. I understand."
"No, Kemmy, you don't understand." Sirius shook his head. "What I mean is, I just don't know if I could keep going without you."
They both ran into each other's arms and kissed passionately.
Narcissa did a little, "Aww..."
James squirmed uncomfortably, and I saw him glance at me out of the corner of my eyes.
"Sirius, you can resume this later," said Remus loudly. "But we're not done."
Sirius broke apart from Kemmy, smiling again, and looking much like the older Sirius. Then he looked at James (who looked downright depressed and sick) but he didn't get angry. He actually looked sympathetic.
"Look, Padfoot, I... I didn't really mean-" started James.
"Don't sweat it, man," laughed Sirius. "We all make mistakes. Lucky for you I can forgive one more of yours. And I shouldn't have punched you anyway. I'm sorry. Forgive me? After all, we're brothers, right?"
James grinned and hugged Sirius.
"Awesome," said Remus. "Well, now that's settled."
The world seemed perfect again. Perfect except for one little flaw- James and I weren't together, and I was still officially Lucius Malfoy's girlfriend.
Ugh.
Special thanks to all my reviewers so far!! You're the ones that help me keep going!
