"Alright, I'm beginning to see why I came with you lot," Lily said, laying back against her towel with her eyes closed. I nodded, doing the same.
"Yeah, I'm beginning to see why as well!" She laughed. "Love the swim suit by the way." I looked at her and she smiled.
"I was obsessed with the Little Mermaid when I was younger, I'm surprised you know it, being pureblood and all."
"My last boyfriend was a muggleborn, went over to his house once and his little sister was watching it, I loved it. She was so interested in the fact that I hadn't seen any of them so she practically made me site down with her and watch a shit load of them. It was fun." She nodded.
"What happened to him, your boyfriend?" I sighed.
"I broke it off last month, he was pretty upset about it."
"I can imagine, any reason?"
"Didn't think we had much of a future together is all, I don't know, wasn't meant to be." She didn't bring it up again, instead she sighed and shook her head.
"What are they doing now?" I turned my head to where she was looking and tried to suppress my laughter. I failed.
"Boys." I said, shaking my head. James and Sirius were trying to hold each other underwater as long as possible. Peter was watching and after a while Remus walked up to them, tore them apart, and held them both underwater while laughing. I looked back at Lily, who was still watching them, amused. "So do you know them pretty well?" She shrugged.
"I guess, Remus and I are prefects, so we're up late together a lot, and we study together sometimes. I've never really talked to Peter all that much. Sirius is… well… Sirius. Potter-" I cut her off.
"There you go again, calling him Potter!"
"Well- you and Sirius call each other by your last names all the time!" I gave her a look.
"Yeah, but we don't say them like you do, when you say it… it kind of sounds hostile, like you don't like addressing him, and he's says your last name in a sort of teasing voice, like he's asking for it." She threw her hands up.
"Well he is asking for it! Just look at him!" I rose an eyebrow and glanced at him before turning back to her.
"What? All I see is an incredibly fit guy who can sometimes be obnoxious." She wrinkled her nose.
"More like always obnoxious." She muttered.
"Does he bully you?"
"Well…. No…. He's just so annoying all of the time! Always teasing me and asking me out." I blankly stared at her.
"Oh no, an incredible fit Quidditch player is always asking you out, whatever shall you do?" I said with a monotone voice. She rolled her eyes.
"It's not just that, he and Black also always picks on other kids."
"They're teenage boys! Of course they do!"
"They used to always bully an old friend of mine!"
"Do they still?"
"Well- no…" I blinked, "but they used to! They terrorized him!" I sighed.
"Lily… sounds to me like you just keep making excuses to not like them. To continue saying 'no' to James." She crossed her arms.
"I would never say 'yes' to him! He never gives up!"
"Maybe he actually likes you?"
"Oh please, he just likes a challenge is all," I sighed, giving up. After a few minutes of watching them, she spoke again. "He is pretty fit though, isn't he?" She whispered, I smiled and laughed.
"Yeah, but I bet Remus could give him a run for his money." She laughed back.
"Kind of surprised, he's more of 'stay in and read a book' kind of guy than 'go out and be active' kind of guy." I smiled.
"What's Sirius' excuse then? 'Cause he doesn't seem like either!" She snorted.
"His excuse is that he has to stay in shape so that idiot girls will continue to shag him." I snorted then shrugged.
"I guess could see it." She rose an eyebrow.
"See what?" I smirked and her and winked.
"Shag him." She made a disgusted face and shoved me to the side, I laughed. "Oh come on! Don't tell me you wouldn't if you got the chance with one of them." She ignored so I got right up to her. "Just think about it, one night, with absolutely no repercussions, just a onetime thing. You really wouldn't? With any of them?" She bit her lip as she continued to watch them.
"Well- maybe…. I don't know, I've never been that type of girl?" I rolled my eyes.
"What? The girl type?" She looked at me.
"Not all girls do stuff like that." I took a drink of water and smiled.
"No, but all girls have the urge to." She choked on her own water.
"You are a very interesting person."
"I know."
"I bet Sirius would shag you, too, if you gave him the option." I thought about it.
"Hmm… I'm still trying to decide which one of them I would choose if I were going to." She laughed, I winked at her again.
"Don't worry, I'll leave James for you." She made a face.
"Trust me, you don't have to." I continued to smile.
"Whatever you say." I could tell she was in denial, but it wasn't exactly my job to get her to see reason. Remus looked over at us and started coming over. "Here comes one of my choices right now." Lily laughed.
"You're not actually thinking about that, are you?" I shrugged.
"Who knows?" She shook her head at me, by that point he had reached us.
"What are you girls talking about?" He lied down on his towel next to me.
"Nothing much, just girl stuff." He made face and I laughed. The other three soon joined us.
"So how long are we staying here? Because I am really beginning to enjoy this place!" I laughed.
"Couple of days maybe, I like it here to, Namur, I'll have to remember it so I can come back some day!" Lily nodded.
"Great shopping to!" I nodded and all of the boys groaned.
"Okay, now I know what you mean by girl stuff," Remus said, Lily and I laughed.
"We should have a bonfire tonight!" Sirius exclaimed, we all rolled our eyes at the random statement.
"All right, that can be your job then."
As it turned out, Sirius was actually pretty useful when it came to building fires. "Wow, I'm impressed." He bowed and winked at me.
"That's not the only thing I'm good at, Love. I'm a man of many talents." I scoffed.
"I'm sure you are."
"Shut up, Padfoot, we're not nearly drunk enough to find you charming yet!" James yelled.
"That's not what you said last night, Prongs!" James flipped him off and I went over to my purse.
"Speaking of getting drunk! I have a present for you all!" Sirius jumped up and down with excitement.
"Does this present happen to be in the form of a bottle?" I nodded.
"It does!" I pulled it out. "Firewhiskey!" He took the bottle from my hands and worked at opening it.
"This is great, Love, really, but it's not nearly enough to get us all pissed." I rolled my eyes.
"What? You really think I only brought one? How stupid do you think I am?" He looked at me before breaking out into a wide grin. He kneeled down onto the sand.
"Marry me?"
"Of course not! I don't marry men that I haven't slept with yet! I told you before, Black, I'm not stupid!" He wiggled his eyebrows.
"We could always change that!" I scoffed.
"In your dreams."
"Yes, it is." I laughed and pushed him over before sitting down.
"Now! Who would like to play a fun drinking game?" Sirius and James immediately rose their hands but Lily looked skeptical.
"I don't really think I should."
"Too bad it's not up for debate!" I exclaimed. I got out the other bottles and handed them out to the others so each of us had one. "It's called 'I never', basically what you do is say something you've never done, and anybody who has done has to take a drink! Okay? Got it? Who wants to start?" I didn't wait for anyone to speak. "Go Sirius!"
"Yes! Okay! Um…. I've never kissed bloke!" Lily and I took a drink.
"I've never been to Hogwarts!" I said, smirking at them. They all took drink. Lily was next.
"Um, I've never cheated on an exam!" The rest of us except for Remus drank. He was next.
"I've never had a long term relationship." Only Lily and I drank. It went on for a while, Sirius, James, and I were the drunkest.
"I've never hooked up with a Brit!" I said, everyone else drank to that.
"Now that is something we could definitely change." I heard Sirius whisper in my ear. I giggled in a very unlike me way.
"I've never shagged more than one person." Lily said, hesitantly. Surprisingly, Sirius and I were the only ones to drink to that. It went on for probably a bit too long, things began to get blurry. Eventually we stopped playing, but there was some type of party. Music, more drinking, dancing, a lot of stuff. I know that at one point I ended on top of Sirius' lap, kissing the daylights out of him. He was a wonderful kisser, even when drunk. Everything happened a bit too fast though. I remember two of us making it back to the hotel and making it up to my room, I remember his fingers struggling to drunkenly untie the straps to my bikini, and I definitely remember a lot of other things followed after falling onto the bed with him. I eventually remembered it all, but I was really drunk that night. It took a while.
I woke up the next morning with the worst hangover I ever had, I felt movement next to me and turned my head to see Sirius. I turned my head again and looked up at the ceiling, mouth and eyes wide open. "Holy shit."
