Chapter six: pairing off?

Lily and James were sitting on a sofa in the common room, Lily on his lap. Sirius was sitting next to James and Hermione was sitting between his legs. Remus and Nicole were sitting on the floor, Remus' arm was around her waist.

'Ok Sirius you start.'

'Lily... Truth or dare?'

'Um dare!'

'Ok, I dare you to make Prongs hard.'

'What, come on I can't do that!'

'Yes you can, just try!'

'Ok.'

Lily straddled James's lap who was sitting on the sofa and pushed him back. He willingly agreed and let Lily take control. She pushed her lips onto his and nibbled on his bottom lip. He gave her access and their tongues battled. She grabbed his hands and moved them to the small of her back, he then took the imitative and moved them to her arse, where he gentle squeezed it. She then moved her hands to the inside of his legs and ran her hands up to his thigh. She moaned on his lips. She leaned her chest into his and move into the kiss deepening it, she moved her hands further up so they were now inches away. It was his turn to moan he couldn't believe this was happening to him. The girl he sort after for years was now straddling his lap kissing him, he couldn't contain his excitement any longer. Lily smiled as she felt him against her thigh and got off of him. Everybody clapped and laughed at them. James flushed red and put a cushion over him and then Lily on his lap. He sneaked his hands around her waist to secure her and she smiled at him.

'Lily, your turn.'

'Remus! Truth or dare?'

'Dare.'

'Ok, now we all know you like to think of your self as a ladies man, and we have to agree. Your challenge is to make Nicole moan in front of all of us.'

'Lily, I will accept your challenge, if Nicole is up for it?'

'How can I object?'

Remus leaned in and kissed Nicole, not a forceful as Lily and James, but it was sweet and tender. He ran his tongue along her lip and she opened her mouth giving him what he wanted. He then started to push her back on to the floor, pinning her arms above her head. Sirius, James, Nicole and Hermione looked at each other shocked and then back at the couple. Remus had now got his hand up her shirt and was planting little kisses down her neck. Before she realised what she was doing, she let out a soft moan, but everyone heard it. Remus got up and smiled down at her, but then got up to face the guys

'I am king!'

He hi five the guys and sat back down with the Nicole, putting his arm around her waist.

'Ok it's my turn.'

He looked around the room trying to see who hadn't dared of been dared yet and his eyes feel on Hermione.

'Amaya! You're awful quiet over there! How about a little dare?'

She took this opportunity to flirt a little with him. She leaned over to him and started to stroke his arm.

'Well Remus baby what did you have in mind?'

The group burst out laughing and Hermione went to sit back down with Sirius.

'Ok, I dare you to down three shots of vodka.'

'Ok, only because I've got the perfect one for you next.'

She lined up the shot glasses and pinched her nose. She picked up the first one and downed it.

Then the next and the last. They all clapped and cheered for her and she fell back to the floor. She was unsteady on her feet but Sirius caught her before she fell. He chuckled and placed her back between his legs and draped his arms around her shoulders. She linked her hands with his and got on with her next dare.

'Ok Remus you have to do a strip tease and then dance around in your boxer shorts.'

He shot her an outrageous look and she just smirked at him.

'Nice one Mya.'

'Come on then Remus, show us what you've got.'

So he did. He got up and Amaya put on Nelly, Hot in here. He faced the group and took off his shirt. James and Sirius were practically wetting themselves, while the girls where cheering him on.

He stood in front of Lily and started to take his belt off. James hid himself behind her, not wanting to see his best friend doing something like that in front of him. He sat on a chair and let Hermione and Nicole pull his trousers off. He went over to Sirius and pulled him up.

'It's getting hot in here (so hot)

So take off all your clothes

I am getting so hot I wanna take my clothes

'It's getting hot in here (so hot)

So take off all your clothes (yeah)

I am getting so hot I wanna take my clothes.'

He tried to get Sirius's clothes off. He looked absolutely horrified at his best friend's actions and stood there stiff. Everybody was laughing so much at Sirius reaction. Remus left him to it and danced around the room to the rest of the song and once it ended he got a round of applause and quickly got dressed again.

'Ok my turn! Amaya...'

She groaned, she really didn't want to down any more vodka.

'Is this game just between the two of you?'

'Yeah there are 6 of us you know.'

'Ok let me just dare Amaya. And don't give me that look! You made me strip down to my boxers, now it's only fair I get my payback! Truth or Dare?'

'Truth.'

'Woose!'

'Boring.'

'Hey! I'm not stripping down in front of you lot! You'd have nightmares for weeks!

Sirius leaned forward and whispered into her ear.

'I wouldn't mind seeing you like that in my dreams.'

'Fat chance Black.'

She looked up at him smiling and their eyes locked. Hermione could see that Sirius's eyes where deep brown, almost black with tinges of green. She had never seen any more beautiful eyes in her life. They were so deep and powerful. Sirius could see that Hermione's eyes were blue, they were so bright he could get lost in them. They were brought back to their sense by the sound of Remus's voice.

'Come on are we playing or what! Please do a dare!'

'O ok.'

'Right, you have to let-'

'You have to let the three guys lick chocolate off of you.'

Everyone turned to face Lily.

'What? Lily come on.'

'No this was your idea. You can keep your underwear on if you want.'

'O I see it now. You little bitch, your doing it because of the underwear aren't you?'

Lily laughed at her and nodded. Nicole caught on and shouted

'Nice one Lily, serves her right for wearing that kind of underwear then don't it?'

'Yep.'

'I hate you both!'

'Hang on a minute.'

The boys were really confused. What was going on between them. Sirius spoke up.

'Have you to seen Amaya in her underwear?'

All three of them answered at the same time.

'Yeah.'

Lily then spoke to the shocked and delirious boys.

'Ok an all female dorm room, we take forever to get ready and are always late, come on think about it, from time to time one of us is running around in our underwear picking out something to wear! Haven't you guys ever changed in front of each other?'

'Well yeah, but we wear boxers so it don't matter. But you lot wear like, thongs, little panties, lace bras and such, don't you like see each other?'

'So, we've seen it all before, we have the same bits and pieces.'

'O how much I would pay to be a girl for one day!'

Lily smacked him on the arms, and turned to face Hermione.

'Come on then, you still have a dare to do.'

'O come on, your boyfriends wouldn't like it would they?'

Lily and Nicole practically pushed Remus and James on top of her. They were more than willing to let them do this. It served her right to wear such underwear.

'O fine. But you haven't got any chocolate.'

'I'm a witch Amaya.'

'No a bitch.'

Lily just smirked at her. And with a wave of her wand she had a tub of chocolate body paint in her hand. Hermione rolled her eyes and took her vest top off, leaving her standing there in her bra and jeans. The boys now understood why Lily had dared her. Hermione was wearing a black meshed bra with the words 'Come get me boys' written across on of the cups. The other had a little motif of a pair of lips. The three boys stood there looking at Hermione with their mouths hanging open.

'And the rest Amaya.'

'O no, not my jeans. I'll transfigure it into a skirt.'

'No, I'll transfigure it into a skirt.'

Before Hermione could say anything Hermione's jeans had now been transfigured into a tiny black pleated skirt. It just skimmed her arse.

'Ok well I think Remus can do knee to thigh on both legs, James can do middle and Sirius can do chest and neck.'

'You know I really hate you.'

'Just sit on the table.'

Hermione turned away scowling. She propped her self on the table and with the chocolate she drizzled some down the inside of her thigh to her knee, like Lily and Nicole had instructed. Remus walked over, slightly embarrassed at about what he was about to do. Nicole told him to go onto his knees. He did and then the started to lick and suck all of the chocolate of her thigh. He moved to mid thigh and she was fighting back a moan. She bit the side of her hand, which made the other four burst out laughing. Finally he pulled away and was cheered by the girls and James. Sirius however looked quite jealous.

It was James turn now and Lily told her to drizzle some around her belly button to just under her bra. She did what she was told. She had to lay back or all the chocolate would fall down. James came and stood in between her legs. She had transfigured her skirt back to trousers. He too started to lick and suck his way up her torso. He had really cold soft lips, which made her shiver. He finished quicker than Remus and he too got a round of applause.

It was Sirius's turn. But this time Lily and Nicole let Sirius drizzle the chocolate. He put a bit over her chest and breasts, on her collarbone and neck. She leaned back and looked into his eyes.

Again she got lost in the deepness of the black. His eyes were so deep and intense. She shouldn't have let any of this happen. Remus was her professor. James was her best friend's father and Sirius was his godfather. She wanted Sirius to do this because she liked him a lot. But it was so wrong. Sirius sensed her uneasiness and whispered to her

'I don't have to do this you know.'

'It's fine, honestly. I want you to, its ok.'

'You sure?'

'Yeah, I am.'

She wasn't going to turn around and say no sorry, after the other to had done it. She had to not think about this incredibly sexy man kissing and sucking her chest. She watched as he leant down and started kissing her chest. He was so soft and delicate she loved it. It made her feel so good and sent all sorts of feelings over her body. He was nothing like the other two.

This is so wrong. What are you doing?

When he lifted his head from her neck she jumped down and put her top back on. She didn't even look at Sirius. While she was doing this he went and sat back down. She soon followed and he pulled her in between his legs again.

'My turn?'

'Actually no, still mine because Lily took mine.'

'Ok. Fine.'

She really wasn't in the mood to play anymore. She was so confused about her feelings for Sirius that she just wanted to go to bed. Sirius heard her tone of voice and leaned in to her ear.

'You ok?'

'Yeah fine.'

'Right Amaya, I know you've just been but I thought I'd ask you your truth this time.'

'Sure. Go for it.'

'Can I ask you two questions?'

'Erm ok sure.'

'Ok if you had to sleep with one of us who would it be? And the second question is are you still a virgin?'

'So does anyone want another drink?'

Hermione really wanted to avoid these questions, so she swiftly got up but Sirius caught her around the waist and pulled her back down.

'Come on Amaya, this was your idea anyway.'

'Yeah.'

'We won't say anything.'

'Marauders promise.'

'Ok I would sleep with Sirius and no I'm not.'

They were all expecting her to carry on and tell them who she had slept with. So they didn't say anything, they just stared at her. She finally got their silence as a hint for her to continue.

'No I'm not telling you who, it was a mistake a one time drunken mistake.'

There was an awkward silence in the common room, until Hermione spoke.

'Ok my turn, Nicole truth or Dare?'

'Dare.'

Hermione couldn't be bothered with the big dares anymore. She was embarrassed so much. She had just admitted she would want to sleep with Sirius and that's she not a virgin and Sirius's hands were still around her waist. Why couldn't she just leave?

'Ok I dare you to make Remus speechless, I don't care how you do it.'

Nicole smiled mischievously and leaned in and kissed him with passion. He ran bit her bottom lip but she pulled away. Remus looked dazed and was defiantly speechless and Nicole was smiling.

'Ok Sirius, truth or dare?'

'Truth.'

'Your rubbish.'

'Shut up Prongs.'

Remus was whispering something into Nicole's ear and then she smirked evilly at him.

'Ok at the moment you like someone, so you have to tell us who, what you would do with her right here and now and the dirtiest thing you've ever thought about her.'

He gave Remus an evil look, Remus knew that Sirius had told him and James about her and everything he thought about her. But Remus smiled triumphantly.

'Do I have to answer?'

'O come on Sirius I had to answer a truth.'

'You really don't want me to answer this you know.'

'Come on just say.'

He gave Hermione a quick embarrassed look and sighed.

'Ok I like Amaya and right now all I want to do is protect her from Peter, Malfoy and Snape and any other arse hole that has ever hurt her. I want to get to know her on a more personal level make her laugh and treat her like the princess she is. When we just had that dare it was so hard for me to control myself. I was so tempted to kiss her but I didn't. And - o god Nicole I hate you - the dirtiest thing I ever thought about Amaya was probably thinking about her strip for me in her school uniform.'

James and Remus burst out laughing at the last comment and Nicole and Lily were trying hard not to laugh. Hermione however looked away from the group.

He likes me? Sirius likes me? He wants to protect me? Only Harry and Ron have ever protected me. He's so sweet and loving and wants to get to no me better. Well that's just another way to say he wants me in his bed. What am I going to do? I do like him but I can't can I? If I did, what if I let anything slip about the future? What if it changes anything and I can't get back? He's dead Hermione he's dead! What would Harry think? He's 20 years older than you! You can't do this, No way, you've got to tell him, it's not right to get involved with him. But I do like him, He likes me a lot and I do like him. I mean I'm in his time now and if I'm careful then I shouldn't say anything about the future. He makes me feel so safe around him and he's saved me from Snape and Malfoy. I love the way his arm is always around my waist and the way he made me feel just then. O god what am I going to do?

'Ok I'm going to get a drink.'

Sirius got up and went over to the other side of the room, Hermione looked around at her friends. James was whispering something in Lily's ear and then they were in a full make out session on the sofa. Remus and Nicole were now getting cosy under a blanket in front of the fire. She looked over at Sirius who was downing some Firewiskey. She got up and walked over to him.

'Hey.'

'O, hi.'

'Best to drink with a friend you know.'

He smiled at her and poured her a drink. They sat on one of the tables and rested their backs against the wall.

'Thanks for the party Sirius, it was really nice of you.'

'Not a problem, seems only fit to throw one for you.'

'Thanks, It was a great party, what was your favourite bit?'

'Defiantly seeing you dance, I've never seen anyone dance like that before, dead sexy. I bet that's how you all dance in your time.'

'Yeah sort of.'

'What was your best bit?'

'I loved all of it. I love spending time with you and this lot. You make me feel really special. Like I belong here.'

He said in a really small voice

'You do belong here.'

'What do you mean?'

He took a deep breath and thought well it's now or never.

'Mya, I really don't know what it is about you, but you drive me crazy. Ever since I saw you I was attracted to you. I don't know why but I felt so ashamed of myself when you were mad at me, all I wanted to do was apologise to you. Seeing you with Malfoy made me sick. All I wanted to do was protect you from all of that. I've only known you a week but I feel like I've known you for ages. Amaya you are strong, beautiful, sexy, smart, amazing, fantastic and I think you belong here in this time, with us... with me.'

'Sirius I...'

'Shh.'

He leaned in to kiss her, but she pulled away.

'Look Sirius I can't, please, let me explain.'

'What? Do you have a boyfriend?'

'No it's-'

'Then don't you like me?'

'Sirius! Please, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to you because I am. But it's complicated.'

'What's complicated?'

'This! Us, I just can't.'

Hermione looked to the floor ashamed. Sirius was getting really angry with her.

'What do you mean you can't?'

'It's complicate-'

'Yeah you said that.'

'Can-you-let-me-explain! I'm not from your time, it's wrong. In my time you're 20 years older than me. You're apart of my future, and well I can't really tell you, it's complicated.'

'Will you stop saying that?'

He jumped down from the table and was shouting at her.

'It's simple Amaya, you know I like you and you like me? Please point out the complication!'

'I can't.' In a small voice 'You wouldn't understand.'

'Then make me understand Amaya.'

James, Lily, Nicole and Remus were all looking at them.

'Please don't.'

'Don't what? I think I deserve an explanation.'

She had tears coming down her face, she was angry..

'I thought you understood everything I had been through the last week! I have know idea if I can ever see my friends and family again! I was almost raped twice and felt up by one of your mates. I want to tell you so much what is going to happen to all of you. That will change your life in about four year's time, BUT I CAN'T. Can you imagine how I feel knowing what I know?'

'Come on then Amaya, what do you know?'

'I-I can't tell you. You know I can't.'

'Figures-'

'Sirius! Leave her alone, you know the consequences if she tells us.'

'Back off Lily, how do you know she even knows anything about us? I want a proper reason! Not some bullshit excuse, you at least owe me that.'

'Sirius, I'm sorry-'

'Sure you are.'

'Yes I am, more than you'll ever know! But if you can't understand that I can't tell you and that getting into a relationship with you could alter fucking time, then I can't help you.'

'Fine.'

Hermione turned and walked up to the dormitory slamming the door behind her, tears coming down her face.

'Ill show her.'

He too went to his dorm, slamming the door behind him.
