Do not own any of these characters. J.K. Rowling is genius
Ch. 10 Specs and Speckles
***I know that this story has been from Lily and James' POV so far but I decided I'm going to expand that for fun. This chapters starts from Marlene's POV. I know I'm all over the place, and this isn't the best writing. It's my first story. Sorry!
Marlene McKinnon looked in the vanity mirror in the seventh year dormitory and sighed.
"Not yourself today, are you dear?" The mirror said to her, laughing.
"Oh will you shut the bloody hell up for once?" Marlene replied. The truth was, she wasn't feeling like herself because she didn't look like herself. Three days ago, Marlene discovered that she had forgotten to pack her muggle contact lenses. Today, she had tried to put in the ones she had been using, but they stung her eyes and she couldn't see a thing.
She had to resort to her glasses, which she hadn't used in years. They were thick, black and took up half her face. Her mum had bought them when she was ten. She learned about the muggle contacts before going to Hogwarts, so no one at school had ever seen them.
"They aren't that bad." Mary came in to view of the mirror, trying to make her feel better. Marlene just put her head in her hands. She couldn't be seen in these atrocities. She looked like a giant bug. It wasn't that Marlene was shallow or cared much about how she looked. However, she wasn't stupid. She knew she was pretty, and her sky blue eyes were her favorite trait. Except for the fact that they were blind. Like James Potter blind.
"Oh come on, Marls. You are still gorgeous. And you'll only have to wear them for a bit." Alice said, putting on a jumper.
"Come on ladies. We've got to get to breakfast or we are going to be late. As for you," Sarah tapped Marlene on the shoulder, "if anyone can do this, it's you."
"Thanks, Sarah." Marlene said. Sarah wasn't always the most sensitive, but she did have a way with words. She finished her hair and makeup and followed the others out.
They were down in the common room when she started getting the looks. "Oh bloody hell. Fuck everyone." Marlene said. Just as she started storming off, Sirius Black bumped into her.
"Oh-sorry..." Black picked up her books then looked at her and smiled. "McKinnon! Love the specs! You look like a sexy teacher or something. Are they real or is this your new look?" He handed them to her, and without listening to her answer, catcalled as he ran to catch up with Peter and Remus. Marlene grinned. That was exactly what she needed, and it surprisingly came from the one boy she swore she wouldn't let in her pants. Uh. Oh.
They made their way down to breakfast and the looks continued. Marlene decided, however, that she didn't give a damn about what people thought, and completely ignored them.
"Welcome to the club, Marlene." James said when she sat down. Lily elbowed him in the side.
"I like them Marls. And you are still the prettiest girl in school." Lily said factually. It didn't even come out as a compliment; it was like it was something that everyone knew. "What happened to your contacts?"
"Forgot them at home." Marlene scooped some eggs onto her plate.
"I think you should wear glasses all the time." Sirius said, staring at her.
"Do you have some kind of weird teacher fetish Black?"
"No. I have a Marlene McKinnon fetish. But I wouldn't mind some extra lessons from you." He winked.
"Maybe I'll just have to put your cheeky arse in detention for remarks like that Mr. Black." If he wanted to play dirty, so would she. Sirius' eyes bulged but then he smirked.
"Only if you're the one to punish me." Sirius retorted.
"Okay, will you two just shag already?" James said through a mouthful of potatoes.
"Nah. I don't think so." Marlene winked at Sirius and got up. "C'mon Al, we're going to be late for Muggle studies."
Lily laughed. "I can't believe you guys are still taking that."
"It is fascinating! See you in Herbology."Alice said, skipping after Marlene.
James took another piece of toast and started spreading marmalade on it when Lily nudged him. He knew what she was trying to tell him, but he didn't want to do it.
He cleared his throat. "So, uh Padfoot."
"Hmm?" Sirius asked distractedly.
"You coming to tryouts? They're this Saturday."
"Oh- er, I don't know mate." Sirius was flushing red. This was not an ideal place for this conversation, but there was no time like the present.
"You should!" Lily burst, "Sirius, you have to."
"Yeah, Padfoot, we need you. You, Marlene and I as the three chasers would be unstoppable." At this he laughed.
"Alright alright! I'll come. But I don't want any favors." He said, giving James a stern look.
"I promise to be completely fair." James replied, smirking.
Lily, Remus, Sirius, and James strode off to Herbology for second period. Peter took Magical and Non-Magical Art, taking the blow-off route. In his defense, he did have a knack for painting giant banners for the quidditch games.
After potions, their final class of the day, Lily kissed James on the cheek and went to the library to tutor a first year. He followed the boys toward Gryffindor tower. When they arrived, the common room was empty so they sat down in front of the fire. James sighed; he had been spending so much time with Lily, he'd missed his marauder time.
"We need to plan a prank. It's been too long." He said. Sirius grinned at this and Remus rolled his eyes but couldn't hold back a smile. Peter, to his surprise, scoffed.
"What, you don't want to, Pete?" Sirius asked.
"Aren't we a bit old for these stupid pranks?" The other three gasped. Even Remus agreed that one could never be too old for a good joke.
"How could you say such blasphemous things? You are a marauder Wormtail. And our pranks are never stupid. They are very clever." James stated.
"Whatever. I've got homework." He started walking away.
"Hey, what's up your arse?" Sirius asked angrily.
"Oh fuck off Padfoot. I'll do the bloody prank. I've got work to do though so tell me my job later." He walked up the stairs toward the boy's dormitory. Sirius looked livid.
"Leave it Padfoot." Remus said.
"I swear I'm going to feed him to Filch's cat one of these days." Sirius said as he sat down again.
"What's going on?" James asked.
"He's been in a right state since last week. We can't figure out what's bothering him, and when I try to ask, he just says he's busy." Remus explained.
"He can't be that busy. I mean, his N.E.W.T. classes can't be worse than ours."
"I don't know mate."
"Yeah well if we don't figure it out soon we may just kill each other." Sirius said. "I wonder if we can find a replacement. Any other animagi in the school?"
"Leave him alone Sirius. I'm sure he's just stressed or something." James smiled. "You wanna go for a run before it gets too dark?"
"Yes!" Sirius stood up. "Moony?"
"As much fun as going into the forest with a dog and a deer sounds right now, I've got homework to do."
"Woof." Sirius winked.
They made their way to the forest a few minutes later and were running around in their animal forms. James was a little faster, but not by much. He was also bigger, and had to watch out for things getting stuck in his antlers, so they ran at about the same speed. They were stopped in a clearing, drinking from a stream that shot off of the lake, when James smelled it. Sirius looked up at James, giving him a questioning look. They could basically communicate in their animal forms at this point, and he knew Sirius could tell what he was going to do, so he didn't hesitate. He trotted toward the smell, knowing it wasn't far. Then he saw her.
She was a beautiful, reddish-brown doe with white spots all over her back. Her fur was similar to his, but it looked shinier. James hid in the trees, watching her from the side. It was fascinating seeing an animal of his same species; his mate, so close. Sirius nudged his side and gave him a look that would be like saying "Go and talk to her," as if she was a girl at the club. He could almost see him wiggling his eyebrows and grinning.
Slowly, he approached her. When she finally turned around, she looked a bit spooked and started to back away. Then she sniffed the air and started walking toward him. She was no longer afraid for some reason. James continued to walk toward her and when they were close enough, he saw that her eyes were emerald green. He smelled her and realized this was not a doe. He would recognize that scent anywhere.
She knew it was James. When she got close enough, she could smell his cologne and his broomstick polish. He also smelled like the forest usually but, since they were in the forest, she couldn't tell. She also saw the markings around his face when she was close enough.
Now it was simply a matter of time before he discovered who she was. She wasn't sure if he knew her scent, but she figured there were few very deer with green eyes. She was starting to toy with him when he changed into his human self.
"Lily?" As he asked this a giant black dog came up beside him and became Sirius Black.
"Now you are really going mad, mate." He said. Lily laughed as he looked sideways and changed.
"Hi Sirius." Lily said, folding her arms across her chest and smirking. Both of the boys' jaws dropped.
"Well, this explains the tattoo." Sirius said. Lily nodded, laughing. James still looked dumbfounded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He looked like he was trying to be angry, but he was holding back a smile.
"I –er, it's just…"
"This is my cue to shove off. See you guys later." Sirius changed back into Padfoot and ran off.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier James. I've been meaning to, but there wasn't a good time. And I know that isn't a good excuse so I'll just shut up. Are you going to break up with me?" Her cheeks were going red.
"Oh bloody hell of course not Lils. I'm only hacked off that you didn't tell me because of how incredible it is!" He hugged her. "The fact that I'm a stag and you're a doe should bring us closer together." Lily laughed.
"You're right. I mean, it does mean something."
"I know what it means." James said, his eyes looking playful, "It means I should snog you senseless." And he did.
He grabbed her thighs and lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around him, then moved forward to lean her against a tree. She was so taken off guard by this that she almost fell but she managed to wrap her arms around his neck just in time.
It was messy and hungry, like no other snog they'd had before. She was biting his lower lip as he thrust his hips into her center. Her school skirt was riding up and she could feel his growing bulge against her knickers. She threw her head back against the tree as he pulled her shirt open and roughly groped her right breast, flicking the nipple as he pulled down the silky bra.
It had been over three weeks and Lily wanted nothing more than to feel him inside of her. It wasn't a long time for most girls, but with the way he made her feel, she knew it would be that much more incredible. And now that all her secrets were out in the open, she felt like she didn't have to hold back. She also knew that she was beginning to fall for him, which was also completely crazy.
However, the advice the girls gave her in Paris came to mind. As James moved his hand to her left breast she cried out and couldn't stop thinking about it. Why should I care what people think of me? And why is it anyone else's business anyway?
Suddenly she was wriggling his pants down and she could tell he was thinking the same thing. He groaned and thrust his hips into her very wet center again and she felt butterflies in her stomach.
"James- I…I want you." He paused and pulled away from kissing her neck.
"You mean…"
"I want all of you." She smiled and rubbed his crotch.
"Fuck Lily, here?" He couldn't believe this was actually happening.
"Why not? It's kind of romantic. We're under the stars and we both love the forest." She transfigured her jumper into a thick blanket and put a heating charm around the area.
James wanted to tell her he loved her at that moment but he didn't feel that it was the right time. Girls want you to tell them you love them when they are not about to have sex.
James began kissing her again and this time it was slower. He lowered her onto the blanket and started unbuttoning her skirt. When that was off, all she was wearing was a matching set of red knickers and bra and her knee socks. She tugged his shirt off and ran her hands down his chest.
Lily sat up for a minute, unclasping her bra and let it fall beside her. She heard a sharp intake a breath when he saw her grab her own breasts and play with them for a few seconds.
"You are so beautiful." He said. She couldn't remember seeing a more serious look on his face. He took one of her nipples into his mouth and she sighed, lying back down. She grabbed his hair with one hand and the other reached inside the waistband of his boxers. She stroked him fast, not bothering to start off slow. After a couple minutes she could feel the pre-cum on his member and pulled away.
Lily used her feet to push his boxers down, exposing his eager cock for her. He roughly pushed her panties to the side, entering her with two fingers. His thumb circled her clit while her pumped in and out of her and she couldn't hold back a moan.
"Oh god yes! James, don't stop!" He sucked on her breasts while continuing with his fingers. Finally he felt her tighten around them and spill her juices.
But they were not done. She slowly came back from her orgasm and brought his face to hers while he shimmied her knickers off of her. Finally, deciding he wanted her completely naked, he sat up and removed her socks one at a time. Lily giggled.
"Are you sure, Lils?" He asked, positioning himself at her opening.
"Absolutely. I- I really want this." He nodded and she guided him inside of her. They watched each other deeply. "Oh, ooh." Lily squealed.
"Are you alright?" James looked worried.
"Never better." Lily smiled and wrapped her legs around him so he could go deeper. He had never felt anything so incredible. He pussy was like velvet and he had to wait a few seconds before moving to compose himself.
He pulled out until he was at the tip and plunged back in, then he started thrusting. She threw her arms around his neck and he sucked on her neck.
"Lils you feel amazing." He started moving faster and faster, and she started moving her hips in time with his.
"Oh my god James I- oh fuck me fuck me!" She was so sexy when she swore. Suddenly she grabbed his shoulders and flipped them over so she was on top. He was still using his hips to plunge up into her and she was bouncing up and down.
"James I'm gonna cum oh merlin James don't stop!" He reached between them and used a finger to circle her clit. He hoped she would come soon because he was definitely not going to last much longer. She leaned forward and put her hands on either side of James' shoulders, and screamed like he'd never heard before. He felt her pussy contract several times on his cock as her whole body shook in ecstasy. He'd be surprised if the centaurs didn't come looking concerned.
In a matter of seconds, James grabbed her hips and spilled his load inside of her. "Fucckkkk Lils." He grabbed her breast roughly as he came and thrust a couple times in the aftermath of going over the edge. Lily climbed off of him, glowing with sweat, and lay down on the blanket next to him.
"Oh. My. God." She said, giggling. "I think I went into some sort of trance there for a bit."
"Nah. If you were in a trance you wouldn't have been able to do this to me." James was also sweating and his hair was extra messy. Lily laughed. "I hate to ruin the moment but there are creatures in this forest that might not be so crazy about us making all that noise. We should get back." Lily sighed but nodded.
"True." She quickly put on her clothes and changed into speckles. They ran toward the castle and at the edge of the forest changed back, holding hands as they made their way back.
"Lils?"
"Hmm?"
"This was probably the best night of my life."
"Mine too, Potter. Mine too."
When they arrived at the heads' dorm they were surprised to find Sirius waiting for them.
"So I take it that little talk went well then eh?"
"If by well you mean it resulted in him entering me, then sure." Lily said casually. James coughed and Sirius looked at her in horror.
"Evans! I did not need to know that."
"Oh please, James would have told you through that little mirror the second he got back anyway. And two, now you know how it feels listening to you and Marlene." It was silent for a good thirty seconds then Sirius smiled.
"She's a firecracker, Prongs. But I suppose congratulations is an order to Prongs here. It's been a long time coming." He clapped his friend on the back.
"Tell me about it." James said.
"Why are you here, Black?" Lily said, laughing.
"Just wanted some privacy. Love the password by the way. Speckles." He winked.
"Ooooh..because of the speckles on your back." James said.
"Wow. Good job Sherlock." Sirius said.
"Who came up with that?"
"Alice. She, Marlene, and Mary know. Oh and Remus."
"Remus knows?" James asked.
"I sort of told him by accident after the first full moon." Lily bit her lip. "I thought he was asleep."
"Moony has known for three weeks and kept this from us? I'm gonna murder that furry little…" Sirius started.
"Padfoot…it wasn't his secret to tell."
"Whatever. How long have you been an animagus Lily?"
"The first time I was able to change was the beginning of last year."
"Yes! We beat Lily Evans."
"Must everything be a contest to you?" James laughed.
"Why? When did you guys do it?" Lily asked eagerly.
"5th year." Sirius said, looking at his fingernails.
"Oh whatever. I didn't start trying until then." Lily crossed her arms and sat back in her chair. Sirius smirked at this then got up.
"Well, it's been a pleasure. Prongs. Mrs. Prongs." He saluted them and left.
"Can we change the password? And not tell anyone?" Lily asked.
"Yes. I plan on shagging you 'til you can't stand up and we're going to cover every surface of this room. We can't have any interruptions." James smirked and Lily's cheeks flushed pink.
"Well what are you waiting for, Potter?" She stood up and began undressing, running toward the shower.
