The Game of Seduction
Chapter 5- Merry Christmas
*That Jerk! That complete, utter arsewhole! *
Lily marched down the halls, angrily. The nerve of him sticking his hand up her robes like that! Could he be more of a pig? She had just come back from a Head meeting with James, which he had tried to turn into an all out orgy! Just thinking about it made her want to scream! He had told her that he -! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"-Just want to get to know you better." He had his arm around her, and he was looking into her eyes.
*Hmmm-hazel eyes. No! I can't think about him that way! * But remembering last night's dream (strawberry syrup this time), it was hard not to swoon. Lily started to get nervous. Was he getting closer? She didn't have any legroom as it was! No, she corrected herself; I have no room at all. I can't even move! It was a losing battle, she knew. She didn't have the strength to pull away, until***.
"*Jerk*!"
SLAP!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
His hand had gone under her skirt. She was so mad! Lily finally reached The Great Hall, and as she opened the giant double doors, her eyes widened.
The House elves had really outdone themselves. The Great Hall was absolutely beautiful with large white candles floating in it's four corners, a giant Christmas tree in the center that was groaning under the weight of hundreds of decorations and lights, and tiny balls of multicolored light (that could have been faeries) flitting about the room. However Lily, and the rest of the student population could have done without the snow.
At least 4 feet of snow littered the Great Hall floor, and every second, more was raining down from the ceiling. No one could find his or her House tables. No one could find his or her friends. No one could find his or her food.
The Marauders seemed to be the only ones enjoying themselves. James and Remus were having a snowball fight (and trying to get other students to join them), Sirius was sledding around the room (presumably on the Hufflepuff table), and Peter was making snow angels. Lily saw her friends, Ella, Katherine and Tara join James and Remus and became completely ticked off.
"SIRIUS!" Lily bellowed at the top of her voice, and the said boy came speeding towards her, grinning like a maniac.
"You screeched, Lily Blossom?"
"What are you all doing?!"
"What does it look like we're doing?"
Lily growled low in her throat. As Head Girl it was her responsibility to put a stop to this nonsense. But how could she do that if the Head Boy was having a snow fight, and seemed to be the cause of the trouble?
"Please, Sirius, you're supposed to be my friend. Help me!"
Sirius sighed. This was what he got for being friends with the Head Girl. She always spoiled his fun! "Okay, okay, I'll help."
"Oh, thank you, Siri!" She put her hand on his head, and messed up his hair affectionately, making him look even more like a dog. "Hop on, and I'll give you a ride! It'll be faster." Before she could decline or shake her head, he grabbed Lily around the middle and swung her over his shoulder, behind him, before taking off again on his sled. He was rewarded with an earsplitting scream.
"Sirius! Put me down!" Why had she ever made friends with this maniac?!
"No thanks!" He sped on, with her screaming at his back.
Wait a minute! This table couldn't do this without magic! "*Finite Incantatem*!"
The table slowed to a stop, and Lily got off shakily. Sirius grinned weakly at her. "Never in all my years at Hogwarts-!"
"Come on, Lily, it was all in good-" before he could get another word out she smacked him 'round the head. "Ow!"
"You deserved it!" she fumed before stomping off towards the center of the Hall. How did she ever become friends with him? *Oh, yeah*, she thought, *How could I forget?*.
After the whole fiasco with James, she had been totally rude to the bastard. Sirius had thought it was funny every time she called him an idiot egobrain with a chia pet on his head, and from there, a friendship had blossomed.
Lily was brought back to reality when a snowball hit her in the head. "Oi!" She turned around angrily, only to find the devil himself, James Potter, tossing and catching another giant snowball. She ducked just in time to see it whizzing above her head. "That's it!" She was completely fed up with him! "*Accio*!"
She flicked her wand at a mound of snow and up! It went! And landed on a bewildered James Potter, burying him completely. "Oops."
"What is going on here?" Professor McGonagall had made herself known. She had obviously seen what Lily had just done to James, for her eyes were gleaming angrily and her nostrils were flared like a winded rhinocerous . "Ms. Evans, I'm completely appalled! The Head Girl smothering the Head Boy to death, what's next? Flying pigs?!" Her scowl deepened as a squealing hog flew past her head. Sirius giggled nervously and let out an embarrassed little 'sorry'!
"* Wingardium Leviosa!* " The snow went flying off James' head and he struggled out of his drift, spluttering and coughing. "I've never seen anything like it. Detention. All of you." And with that, she marched back out of the Great Hall.
Sirius scratched the back of his neck. "Well, that was fun!"
Lily was practically in tears at this point. A detention. Lily had never gotten a detention in her life! What else could go wrong?
At that precise moment a charcoal black owl flew through the high windows. As it flew overhead it dropped a parcel onto James' head, squawking ominously as it took its leave.
Everyone in the Hall looked on as James slowly opened the package, his brow furrowed in confusion. Hadn't he already received all his Christmas presents? He ripped the last of the paper off, before stumbling back in surprise.
"What the-?!" He wiped his hands frantically on his robes, his face scrunched up in disgust. A bloody finger, with what looked like a wedding ring on it had rolled out, along with a message. Wait a minute. Wasn't that his mother's ring?
In shock Lily walked over and picked up the message.
*Merry Christmas*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James had locked himself up in his dormitory, and everyone was worried about him. It had been six days since anybody (save Sirius and Dumbledore) had seen him.
"How is he, Sirius?" Everyone wanted to know, but all Sirius would do was shake his head and shrug.
Even Lily had to admit she was a bit worried about him. The day after James' retreat, an article had appeared in the Daily Prophet. Aurors Found Dead in Godrick's Hollow; Will the Dark Lord Ever Stop?, had been the title, printed with a smiling black and white photograph of Harold and Genesis Potter, the silver ring dappled with sapphires (that was now in James' possession), gleaming on her hand.
Lily's sensual dreams came, but slowly turned into something sinister, usually resulting in either, or both, she and James' deaths. By January, she had dark bluish circles under her eyes from lack of sleep not only because of her nightmares, but because she was now taking on the role of both Head Girl and Head Boy. James wasn't in any condition to get out of bed, let alone run Prefect meetings or patrol the halls. What worried Lily most was that he had stopped hitting on her!*
James was glad when classes started up again. It gave him something to keep his mind off of his parents. *How could I have let this happen?* , the thought crossed his mind every second of the day if he didn't keep it occupied. The Dark Lord had been sending threatening messages to him for a while now, scaring him witless, giving him an ultimatum; join or die. Yet he hadn't warned his parents, hadn't even given them a clue that something was wrong, filling his letters to them with *I'm fine, how are you?*'s and *Everything's great here!*'s instead of *The Dark Lord's after me, and he's probably trying to kill you too*'s. It was his fault that they were dead.
On Monday, the first of January, another note came to him.
