The Game of Seduction

Majestic Waters

Chapter 1: A Big Mistake

He was in the shower. Perfect.

Lily could almost imagine the look on his face when he saw her. He'd be dripping wet (hopefully in his birthday suit), jaw slack, a look of shock becoming one of lust. Lily almost giggled out loud.

She had positioned herself on his bed strategically, one hand propping her head up on the pillow, tangled in her long mane of auburn hair, and one long, smooth leg bent, making the silk material of the getup she was wearing pool itself teasingly below her waist. Just an inch more, and her prey would be able to tell that she had nothing else on besides the sexy red nightie. This time she did giggle.

Lily heard the water stop running, and she prepared herself, pouting her lips, and smiling seductively. The bathroom door swung open, and steam billowed out into the dormitory.

"Who the hell are you?"

James Potter was more than a little surprised to find a half naked girl on his bed. He wiped his glasses then put them back on. The image hadn't changed. His throat suddenly became dry, but somehow he was able to conjure up his voice. He cleared his throat. "Shouldn't I be the one asking questions? You are in my room after all."

Lily was shocked. Shocked. She had come here to seduce Sirius Black, and whom did she get instead? She didn't know. Her eyes locked first on the stranger's smooth, handsome face, then drifted down to his bare, wet chest, before moving downward to the white towel covering his middle…barely. She shot up from the bed abruptly, before standing before him. "Who the hell are you? I demand an answer!"

The only indication he gave that he'd heard her was the sudden lift of a brow. When it seemed as if he wouldn't be answering her, she fired another question.

"Where's Sirius?"

This time both eyebrows shot up. Oh, James thought, so it isn't another of Remus' jokes. She's looking for Sirius. James almost sighed. How come Sirius had all the luck? He was staring at, what had to be, the most gorgeous woman he'd ever seen, and she was looking for Sirius?

"Sirius?" he said out loud. "Sirius is in Hogsmeade. With his girlfriend."

Lily was mortified. Girlfriend! Since when did he have a girlfriend!

This had to be the most embarrassing situation she'd ever been in. On top of it all, this guy was staring at her as if she was a piece of meat! She grabbed for her robe, and couldn't help but notice the look of disappointment that crossed his face when she rapped the thin material around her almost naked frame. She turned, and was ready to walk out the door, when-

"Accio robe!"

The robe flew from around her, and into James' outstretched hand. "Hey! Give that back!" He smirked. "No, I don't think I will. I rather like what you're wearing."

Lily's nostrils flared, and her face turned red with anger. "Give it here!"

"No."

"Well, why the hell not!"

"Because I need a name."

Her anger toned down a bit. "A name? Whose name?" she asked, puzzled.

James rolled his eyes. "Your name, of course."

"Oh."

"Well?"

"Well, what?"

"What's your name!"

"You don't have to shout!"

"Just tell me!"

"NO!"

"Why?"

"Because you haven't earned it! Now, give me my robe!" Lily snatched the robe from him before he could retract his hand. She stomped over to the door.

"And, if you must know, it's Lily!"

The door slammed in his face. . .
