Chapter 4:
A flash of light beamed at my eyes, and I opened them only a tad to see what it had been. Of course, it was a little something called the sun. No one was in the dorm, so I figured I had woken up a little late. Of course, I had. The clock read 12:30 PM. Twelve thirty? Seriously? I had slept in that late? Whoa, what was wrong with me? So I jumped out of my bed, threw my normal Hogwarts clothes that were already set out for me on, a little bit of makeup so I didn't look like a monster, brushed my hair and teeth, and jumped out of the door. To my surprise Lily, along with only one marauder, were talking downstairs. Lily and Remus. Oh great, my now best friend-ish-thing, and my crush were casually talking, and finally Lily had spotted me.
"Colette! Come talk with us!"
"Er…alright," I answered not so confidently, before taking a seat on a chair in front of both Remus and Lily.
"Hi. Where are the others?" Another not so confident answer, yet I hoped it to be good enough. This time, it was Remus's turn to talk.
"Oh they are still asleep…They told me they were going to sleep in for a while so they could stay up at the party."
"Party?"
"Yeah er, the Halloween party. We have one every year in the Gryffindor common room." Now it was Lily's turn to budge in,
"Mhm, full of bloody drunks, shags, and snogging faces off of each other. I suggest you don't attend."
"Oh. Um…"
"Well we're both going. Remus just to watch out for the marauders, and I'm going just to watch for everyone else."
"I guess I'll go then. Not much for me to do on-"but before I could finish my sentence, Sirius and James were up and adam, walking down the stairs. James then sat next to Lily, while Sirius sat next to Remus. I guess he wanted to sit next to me, but luckily I was in a chair. That was good luck.
"So, heard about the party tonight?" Asked Sirius casually.
"Yeah," Lily and I replied at different times. Obviously the marauders had heard about it, since they were planning it.
"Cool."
"Ugh. Did you two have to ruin a pretty nice conversation? I mean really, can't you just leave us alone?" asked Lily directly towards James and Sirius, before grabbing my wrist and dragging me out of the common room. We walked out towards the grounds, and had a rather nice chat about anything and everything that went on in our lives. It was fun, but secretly I could just NOT wait for that party to start. She reminded me that it started at exactly 6:00 PM, so once the time of five o' clock arrived, we decided to get our butts moving, and get ready for the party. My old school didn't have many parties, and normally they were quite the drag, so I was definitely waiting for a wonderful Halloween party. Definitely.
When we reached our dormitory, I walked in and grabbed my suitcase, where I found a beautiful fairy costume, with wings, a dress, stocking/tight things, small ballet flats, and a headband, and the whole deal. I must say, it was gorgeous.A shower was needed greatly, so I turned up the hot water, and jumped right in. Once I was done with my shower, I threw the clothes on, along with brushed my hair again for the millionth time. Next I brushed my teeth, and put on my "special" makeup only for rare occasions. According to everyone in the school, this was one. Once I was done, Lily actually gasped at how I looked.
"You look great, Colette," she nicely commented.
"Aww you look great too. I love the costume, thanks! And you're Dorothy is great." We dashed downstairs to find that it was already six thirty, and almost everyone was there. Of course, so were the marauders.
I found myself rather embarrassed at the fact that once I found Remus, (although I didn't talk to him per say), his mouth was gaping open at the sight of me. Yes, embarrassing to the maximum indeed. Along with him were Sirius, and James, and surprisingly Lily. Man, was she everywhere with them or what? Oh well, she was probably dragged there by Remus. They seemed to be rather good friends, I must say. Remus was dressed in what seemed to be a Zorro costume, while James was in the classic James Bond costume, and the attire suited both of them well. Then there was Sirius, going for the "hot robber" costume, which made me laugh so hard, although luckily he didn't notice me laughing. I walked over to the bunch, to find James still trying to persuade Lily to go out with him.
"Please Lily! Just one date!"
"NO POTTER!"
And it went on and on until Lily finally realized that I was actually right in front of the two. Unfortunately, now Sirius was staring at me too. I think the skirt was a little too short in the back. Well, not too short, but enough for Sirius to freak. Actually it went to my mid thigh, but you know guys. Eh, oh well it wasn't like he was going to pounce on me.
"You look rather ravishing tonight," Sirius slurred a bit, and I knew he was already starting to get drunk.
"Er thanks…I guess," I answered. Indeed I was starting to get a little angry at his attitude towards women. He acted like Mr. Hot shot all the time, as I was starting to realize, although he wasn't too much of a nuisance. I'm sure he could be of help in some ways. Maybe.
"He's right. You look nice." Oddly enough, the voice that had said this was Remus. Ah, and the butterflies in my stomach started fluttering around yet again at the thought of him saying this to me. A few hours past, and by the first hour, Sirius was gone, probably off to snog a million girls and drink all the fire whiskey he wanted. Neither Lily, nor Remus, nor I, took even a single sip from the fire whiskey. Although James took a couple, he wasn't drunk or anything. Sirius came back at about eleven, when we all decided that we could play a game of spin the bottle. Alright so James, and Sirius, decided it, but Remus and I went along with it, pulling Lily along with us as we went. Kind of a stupid idea, I guess, but we were bored and fifteen, what else were we going to do? We all decided best place to do it was in the boys dormitory, since of course they couldn't reach the girls dormitory if they tried, and the common room was too loud. So off we went to the boys' dormitory.
Once we reached it, I found it to be quite a mess, all except Remus's bed, which made me rather happy. Good, he was rather cleanly, but not too much of a clean freak.
"Alright, who's going to begin?" asked Sirius before we all sat down in a circle. At my right, was Lily, who was next to James, and at my left was Remus, who was next to Sirius.
"I'll go!" shouted James excitedly before grabbing a fire whiskey bottle out of Sirius' hand, and spinning it in a circle. It passed me, then the others, me, then the others, me, then the others, and it finally stopped. To Lily's horror, it stopped straight on her. Dead on, I'd have to say. James laughed excitedly before Lily leapt in horror.
"Alright you two love birds. Before you pounce on eachother, here's the rules. The first time you have to kiss someone, it's a peck, second time you use minimal tongue use for thirty seconds, and fifth is full on snogging, tongues used and two minute minimum."
"NO. NO JAMES," she spluttered, trying to get up. Unfortunately for her, she could not get up as James had locked lips with her right then on the spot. When their brief kiss ended, Lily spun the bottle, and it landed on Sirius.
"Oh no. Hell no."
"Come here, Evans!" Once again before she could get up and leave, Sirius had shoved his tongue in her mouth slightly, and she couldn't break away. Once the thirty seconds were over, Sirius grinned broadly and returned to his normal spot in the circle. Now he spun the bottle, and it landed straight on me. Luckily it was only a small peck, so he pecked my lips with his own, and we were done. Although oddly enough, he had an even broader smirk than when he had half snogged Lily.
"Alright, my turn," I spoke before spinning the bottle a little faster than I had intended. It seemed ages until the bottle had spun, and awkwardly enough it had spun right at Remus. We both looked at each other, and I couldn't help but to blush like crazy.
"Er…" was all I could mutter before we leaned into each other for the kiss. It started out rough, but it got smoother. Unfortunately by the time it got smoother, the kiss was over and we had to stop. I wasn't really imagining my Prince Charming to have to kiss me in front of a bunch of people, during a game. Not much of a fun idea, but oh well. Better than nothing, right? Remus spun the bottle, and I couldn't help but start to laugh when it landed on Sirius.
"Sorry mate, but we don't do mixed kisses her. Well, since we are all straight. Spin again," said Sirius cautiously torn his friend. So, Remus spun the bottle yet again, and it seemed once again forever until it landed on me. This would be good, yet bad. Ahh a snog? Two minutes? This was crazy! Plus by now it was almost 12:30 and I was thinking of falling asleep. Well, maybe it wouldn't be all too bad.
Before I could get my thoughts processed any more, he had leant into me, and our tongues began to move around like a ballet. It was quite "passionate" if you don't mind me saying. Hah, in fact, I loved it. Remus, my love, although he didn't know he was my love, was pouring his soul right into me and he didn't even know it. He was so wonderful. Whoa, getting a little too soft there. So once we finished the two minutes, I blushed like a giant red tomato, and I probably looked like one too. Next thing I knew Lily was making a kind excuse and we were running out of the boys' dormitory, so that I could scream and giggle all I wanted in the girls dorm.
"Oh my gosh!" Yes, those were my brilliant words that came through my mouth, after that wonderful scene.
"Hah. Did you see Sirius? He looked as if he was about to blow up. And then Remus after the kiss? He looked as much like a tomato as you did! Get a room, goodness gracious!" she giggled happily at me.
"Oh god Lily, was I that red?"
"Actually…yes."
"Oops." I grinned, at the thought of the two of us being embarrassed. Man, Hogwarts parties were most definitely better than my old school.
