Chapter 9:
"Welcome to my humble home, remember mi casa es su casa!" Sirius bellowed at Lily and Kate when they emerged from his fireplace.
"Thanks Sirius!" Lily said, "I'll make myself right at home."
"You do that." Sirius said over the music that was blaring in the background.
"Have you seen James?" Lily asked him.
"He's with Remus over by the drinks I think." Sirius replied.
"Thanks." Lily responded before walking over to where Sirius had indicated.
"So how's your break been Johnson?" Sirius asked Kate.
"Good black, good. How about you?" She replied.
"Pretty damn good. Excuse me for a sec. I see some people that I need to welcome!" Sirius walked away from Kate and towards the large group of Ravenclaw sixth years that had just entered his flat.
Kate looked around. She saw Lily with James across the room, and considered going over to them but decided against it. It wasn't that she felt uncomfortable when it was just the three of them, because Lily and James weren't the type of couple who would make out in front of their friends. Sure, she'd seen them kiss, but they saved the heavy stuff for when they were alone. Kate didn't want to interrupt their anniversary. Plus they had missed each other the past week, and being the good friend she was, she wasn't going to take any time away from their "Lily and James time". Kate decided she'd start dancing. It didn't matter that she was by herself, no one would know because everyone was so tightly packed. Plus people were happy, most were at least a little tipsy if not more. Kate made her way to the center of the dance floor and found herself pulled against a male she didn't know the name of but vaguely recognized from school. He wasn't very tall, she noted, only a little taller than Kate, and he had brown hair and deep brown eyes. Rather attractive, she thought.
"Get me a library card, cause I'm checking you out." Lily whispered in James' ear. He jumped in surprise.
"Lily! Hey." James responded, giving his girlfriend a soft kiss.
"Hey Remus." Lily said to the sandy haired boy standing next to her boyfriend.
"Hey Lily, how was your vacation?" Remus asked.
"Oh, it was okay, but I'm sure you know what happened, James told you right?"
"Yeah, I know. It's a funny story. So your parents don't know you're here?"
"Well, we hope not!" James exclaimed.
"Yeah, then we'd be in even deeper shit." Lily responded. "So how was your vacation Remus?"
"Pretty good. I caught up on a lot of sleep. I forgot how peaceful uninterrupted sleep can be without Peter's snores and Sirius' farts."
Lily laughed. "I can imagine."
"Well, I'm sure you two want to find a private corner to make out in. I'm going to find Peter. See you guys later!"
"You don't have to go. We can keep our hands off each other for a little while." James said with a smirk.
Remus raised his eyebrows. As James said this, he draped his arm around Lily's shoulders and pulled her even closer to him. Now her head was resting on his chest.
"Nah, I think I'll go. I told Peter I'd meet him in a little bit anyway. Remember, be careful and don't do something a Puritan wouldn't do!" and with that, Remus left them.
"What's a Puritan?" James asked with confusion.
"A muggle thing. Don't worry about it. Now, let's do what the man says and find a place to make out!" Lily exclaimed, grabbing James' hand and guiding him towards a dark corner.
"Missed me that much eh?" He asked with a smirk.
"Sure, whatever makes you happy Jimbo." Lily said with a smile.
"Hey, what if we danced?" James asked quickly.
"You'd rather dance than make out?" Lily questioned.
"No, I just think it would be fun to make out while we dance." James said slyly.
"Ah, we've got a multitasker on our hands!" Lily burst out. James laughed.
"So is that a yes?" He asked her.
"Yeah! Come on." The two made their way through the throngs of people and found a spot to dance. They started hooking up almost immediately. It had been too long since he'd tasted her lips, James thought to himself. It had been too long since he held her like that, Lily thought as they moved slowly, still making out. Not caring as they usually did that they had an audience.
Sirius had finished greeting most of the guests and he was looking around for Kate. His eyes looked across the dance floor. He smirked to himself. Lily and James were hooking up in the middle of the dance floor, they must've really missed each other, he thought to himself. Sirius' eyes landed on Kate who was dancing with Phil Rogers, the Huffelpuff seeker. For a moment Sirius saw red, what was his Kate doing dancing with another guy? Then a voice in his head said, "She's not yours, you're just her hook up buddy." Sirius sighed. He shouldn't be jealous, they weren't dating so Kate could dance or hookup with for that matter, whomever she wanted to. So can I Sirius thought to himself. He scanned the room and saw a cute brunette by herself getting some fire whiskey. Sirius walked over to her and said,
"You're the hottest thing since sliced bread, what's your name?"
She giggled and responded, "Caroline".
"Caroline… I'm Sirius, would you want to dance with me?" He asked seductively.
She giggled and said, "I know who you are. I'd love to dance with you!"
Sirius took her hand and led her to the dance floor, positioning himself so he could still see Kate, but not make it obvious that he was watching her. They were grinding, and it was fine, but Sirius couldn't help but think that she was too short for him, her body didn't fit with him the way Kate's would've. And then they were snogging. Sirius noticed how he had to bend to reach her lips, not that it was a bad thing, but with Kate, he didn't have to bend so much. And Caroline was a good kisser, but nothing compared to Kate. Sirius groaned, Caroline took it to mean that he was taking pleasure in their lip lock, in fact he was realizing that he was starting to have feelings for Kate.
Sirius cracked open an eye just in time to see Kate storm off of the dance floor. She looked everywhere but at him. Sirius sighed, extracting his mouth from Caroline's.
"I think I'm going to get some fresh air." Sirius said.
"Okay, want me to come with?" she asked sweetly.
"No, it's fine, plus I've got to make sure the fire whiskey's okay and stuff."
"Okay." She replied.
Sirius pushed his way through the throngs of people and found Kate sitting alone on a chair, nursing a fire whiskey.
"Hey." Sirius said.
"Hey." Kate replied coolly, barely looking in Sirius' direction.
"Having fun?" He asked happily.
"Tons…" She replied sarcastically.
"What's wrong with you?" Sirius asked impatiently.
"Nothing, everything's fine!" she said almost hysterically.
"Then why are you in such a pissy mood?"
"I'm not! I just wanted to drink some fire whiskey in peace, is that so bad?"
"No. I just thought maybe you were upset that I was hooking up with another girl." For a moment, Kate looked scared, like a deer caught in the headlights, but a moment later her face hardened.
"Sirius, you're not my boyfriend! You can kiss anyone you want and there's nothing I can do about it." She said strongly, almost as though to convince herself of this.
"Yeah, I know…" He said.
"Okay… so then why did you bring that up?" She asked quietly.
"I dunno, I've just heard that girls get really attached sometimes and I wanted to make sure that you weren't attached to me or something." In actuality, he wanted to see if Kate was as jealous of him as he was of her. It seemed like she was but he couldn't really tell.
"Sirius, I was the one who suggested the friends with benefits thing, remember? I'm not going to get too attached, you don't have to worry about that with me, okay?"
"Okay, good. I was just making sure."
The two sat in silence for a moment.
"You want a fire whiskey?" Kate asked.
"Yeah. I could use one." Sirius downed his fire whiskey quickly and grabbed another.
"You want to dance?" He asked once he'd finished his second drink.
"Sure." Kate replied, smiling at Sirius for the first time that night.
They made their way to the dance floor. Sirius rested his hands on Kate's hips and they moved to the music. It didn't take long for Sirius to plant soft kisses on Kate's neck. Kate moaned when he sucked her skin. It would leave a mark for sure, but the things he was doing to her with his mouth were making her feel so good that she didn't care about the giant hickey she was bound to have tomorrow. In fact, she wanted to know what else he could do with his mouth. Kate turned around so she was facing Sirius and captured his lips in a passionate kiss.
"Do you want to go somewhere private?" She whispered in his ear.
Sirius shivered and said huskily, "my room." He grabbed Kate by the hand and pulled her towards his room.
Lily broke the kiss. "I missed that." She whispered in James' ear.
James smirked. "I missed it too." He answered.
"It's so hot in here, you want to go outside?" Lily asked.
"Yeah. Let's go out on Sirius' fire escape. He's got an awesome view." James suggested.
"Sounds good Lily replied.
They pushed their way through crowds of people dancing. James pushed open the door that lead to the fire escape and Lily followed him out.
"It's so beautiful out here!" Lily sighed, leaning against James' firm chest as she looked at the view.
"I know. I keep telling Sirius that this fire escape could be a chick magnet!" Lily looked at James and raised her eyebrows at him.
"Well, how do you suppose he'd get a girl onto his fire escape in the first place?"
"Good point my dear, good point." James said with a chuckle.
"I missed you." Lily said in a serious tone. She turned so she was looking into James' hazel eyes.
"I missed you too." He whispered before capturing her lips with his own. When the two broke apart Lily squealed,
"Look!" in the sky was a shooting star.
"What's the likelihood that the two shooting stars I've ever seen were with you?" James murmured.
"Slim to none." Lily replied.
"It must be fate." James decided. Lily laughed but nodded in agreement.
"Someone once told me that you had to kiss someone when you saw a shooting star in order to have good luck." Lily said with a smile.
"Well, right now I feel like the luckiest guy on earth." Lily rolled her eyes.
"James! That's so corny!" She giggled. "Just give me a kiss. I could use some luck on my NEWTS." She said playfully. James laughed and kissed her again.
"Happy anniversary love." He whispered. Lily smiled and replied, "Happy anniversary."
Sirius shut the door quickly and then began kissing Kate. They fell back onto his bed, groping, touching, and sucking desperately at each other. Kate found herself shirtless and tugging at Sirius' shirt. When it was finally removed she ran her hands over his defined stomach. Kate could feel Sirius kissing his way down her chest. His hands caressed her breasts momentarily before Sirius unclasped her bra and took her breast in his mouth. Kate moaned. Merlin, he was amazing with his mouth! Kate's hands found their way to Sirius' obvious arousal and rubbed him through his jeans. He moaned but continued giving her breasts the same treatment as before. It would've gone even farther if a drunken boy hadn't run into the room and screamed,
"Three minutes to midnight get out here now dude!!!!!!!" and ran back out. Not even acknowledging the fact that Kate was topless nor that Sirius and Kate were obviously busy. Unfortunately, the boy had ruined the mood. The two sighed and began putting their clothes back on.
"Are you staying over tonight?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah." Kate replied.
"Good, we can finish this later." He murmured.
"I don't know if that's a good idea." Kate said quietly, not meeting Sirius' eyes.
"Why not?" He questioned.
"Because, I don't want to have sex with you but I don't know if I could not have sex with you. Does that make sense?" Kate asked.
"Not really. Explain to me again why you don't want to have sex with me." He demanded.
"Because we're not boyfriend and girlfriend, we're hooking up! It just doesn't feel right to have sex when I'm not in a relationship."
"But if you want to have sex with me then why not just go for it?" Sirius asked.
"Did you not just hear a word I said?" Kate demanded.
"Fine! I get it." Sirius said with a shrug. "ten seconds to midnight." Sirius muttered, looking at his watch.
The two smiled at each other and began counting, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" They both exclaimed. Kate kissed Sirius soundly on the lips and whispered, "I'm sorry." Sirius looked at her and said, "don't be." Kate smiled and took him by the hand. They went off to find the rest of their friends.
By two AM everyone had left besides Lily, James, Leah, Sammy, Peter, Kate, and Remus. They had volunteered to help Sirius clean up, plus they'd all lied to their parents and told them they'd be at each other's houses for the night. Between the eight of them, the place was cleaned up in no time, especially since they could all use magic to help them.
"Hey does anyone want to play twister?" Leah asked in excitement.
"At this hour?" Remus asked in astonishment.
"Come on Remus, let loose! We can sleep all day tomorrow." Sammy replied.
"Ugh, I always lose at twister, let's play poker instead." Lily said from her spot on Sirius' couch.
"Ooh, let's play strip poker, to make the game more interesting." Sirius suggested.
They all agreed.
It turned out that James was the worst player. By the end of the game he was left in nothing but his boxers. Leah was the second to worst, wearing her bra and pants. Lily and Sirius on the other hand had all of their clothes on, and Remus, Kate, Peter and Sammy were all only missing a sock or two.
"Well, I'm exhausted, let's get some sleep. It's already 4:30." Sirius said with a yawn.
James transfigured some chairs into sleeping bags for the friends and they all climbed in. James pulled his sleeping bag so that he was next to Lily, then the two unzipped both their bags, put James' underneath them, and Lily's on top. Everyone else gathered into the sleeping bags and feel asleep almost instantly.
The next day, no one woke up before 2 O'clock. They gathered their stuff together and flooed to their respective homes. They'd see each other in less than a day on the train for their ride back to school.
