"Go away Potter." Lily snapped as she flipped through a catalogue, there were hundreds of fancy dress outfits, Halloween was coming up and she knew she would be another party to attend, so an outfit was needed.
"I haven't even said anything yet." James replied, sitting down beside the irritable redhead. "Though I will say I know of a perfect outfit for you."
"Oh really, and what would that be, Potter?" Lily said snappishly.
"A witch." James replied.
"I am a witch." Lily drawled.
"And you are really beautiful." James said. Lily scoffed at him.
"Go annoy someone else Potter." Lily said she turned the page again and she saw the outfit she wanted to wear, it was stunning, and totally perfect. Smiling she closed the book, marking the page and walked away from the sofa where James was still firmly planted, sighing James picked up the book and turned to the marked page, he looked at the four costumes which were there and thought about it. The first was too girlish and pink. The second was totally out of character. The fourth one was too slutty. But the third one was a marvel.
"Nice Lily." James said a smirk forming on his lips.
"Miss Evans, can you tell me the difference between human transfiguration and an Animagus?" Professor McGonagall asked as she looked at the intelligent redhead.
"The difference is that in Human Transfiguration a person can transform their body into pretty much anything, be it a table or a chair. An Animagus is when a person transforms into an animal, though it is different to Vampirism and Lycanthropy, which many people are in fact unaware of." Lily said.
"Well done Miss Evans, Twenty points to Gryffindor for your detailed answer." McGonagall said happily, it wasn't often you got a student as bright as Lily in your house.
"Show off!" Dorcas laughed as the girls walked out of the classroom.
"Someone studies way too much!" Marlene said laughing.
"Mind you, she isn't distracted every five seconds by some randy boy." Skylar snapped playfully, looking pointedly at Sev who shrugged.
"You didn't seem to mind the fact that you didn't finish your charm essay afterwards." Severus said smirking as Sirius and James laughed.
"Niiiice." Reggie said shaking his head, Lily smiled at him and linked her arm with his, grabbing Sirius with the other and set off down the corridor. "So Twitch what you doing for the Halloween Bash?" Reggie asked as they walked along the corridor.
"The usual, I guess, going to the party, and then going to bed." Lily said sniffing sadly.
"Alone I do hope, I don't need my baby sister getting herself a reputation." Sirius warned, Lily elbowed him, but didn't say anything.
"What about you lot?" Lily asked the group.
"Pretty much the same, but if Sev plays his card right, well…" Sky said smirking. "So-Lo what about you?" Sky said turning to Sophia.
"So-Lo?" Lily asked confused.
"Yeah, Soph." Skylar said looking confused herself.
"Sky, Twitch here hasn't heard you call Sophia So-Lo before." Marlene said rolling her eyes.
"Oh, well Twitch meet So-Lo." Sky said grinning.
"Deary me." Allie sighed as they walked into the head Dorms.
"Mars, babe, you coming?" Sirius asked as an hour later he decided to leave the dorm.
"Yeah sure." Marlene said getting to her feet, she smirked at Allie and made a universal sign, tongue in cheek. Winking she left with a laugh as Allie rolled her eyes.
"That girl is a whore." She said to Lily.
"Mars is a whore? And what were you up to last night?" Nay asked from Lucius' lap.
"Nothing." Alice said innocently, she didn't fool anyone though. "And are you two going steady yet?" Alice asked Nay and Lucius'
"That we are Miss Towns." Lucius drawled, kissing Narcissa softly.
"Aw how sickly." Dorcas drawled from her position on the sofa. Nay raised an eyebrow at her friend, smirking at her.
"You're just jealous." Nay said.
"Meh." Dorcas replied grinning.
Suddenly there was a bang against the portrait and a very loud moan.
"That is freaking disgusting!" Skylar exclaimed, knowing full well what it was. "GO AWAY!" She yelled throwing her shoe at the back of the portrait.
"PADFOOT YOU MAN-WHORE!" Remus yelled.
"I don't ever want to hear that again." Lily cringed.
"Get used to it Twitch, that's what happens when you go to school with Sirius." Regulus said grimly.
Lily smiled as she saw her reflection in the mirror, she looked pretty damn good if she said so herself. She was wearing a white dress, it was very low cut with an Egyptian pattern around the neck, it didn't have any sides, but was held together by gold clasps, the skirt reached her feet, showing off delicate high heeled sandals, but the side of the skirt was almost non-existent, it covered the point just below her bum and then it was split all the way down to the bottom, on both sides, around her waist was a thick gold belt with the same pattern engraved into it.
Her hair was straightened, and put into a half ponytail, held together by a hair clip that was in the same Egyptian style. Her make up was kinda light, she put a little face powder on, but she wore a lot of black eyeliner and gold eye-shadow, her lips were covered in a nude lip-gloss.
Her wrists were both sporting matching gold patterns matching her dress and hair clip, and around her throat she had a choker in the same design. The overall look was pretty amazing.
"Wow." Sophia said as she walked out of the bathroom. "Looks like our little Lily has grown up."
Marlene smirked at the sight present before her.
"Well either Remus is going to really regret breaking up with you, or James is going to blow his load everywhere." Lily laughed at what Marlene said, she didn't care what James thought, and as for Remus, well they were just friends.
Lily smiled at her friends; Sophia was wearing a devil costume, with a pair of what appeared to be red knickers and a matching red lacy bra, her brown hair was curled and she had a pair of small red horns sticking out of the top of her head. Mars was wearing a light blue corset, with a pair of light blue French knickers, and white fishnet stockings that reached mid thigh, on her feet were a pair of matching light blue pumps.
"You two look fantastic." Lily said. "Where's Skylar."
"She's here." Skylar said appearing in front of Lily her hair was backcombed and crimped, she was wearing a pair of black fishnet stockings with blood red peeptoe heels on her feet, she was wearing a pair of black girl bowers with had red skulls and hearts all over them, and a matching black bra, her eye make up was heavy and very black, with clear lip-gloss on her lips.
"What are you?" Lily asked.
"Have you never watched Rocky Horror?" Skylar asked grinning.
"Devil." Sophia asked as Lily turned to her, pointing at her horns.
"French Courtesan." Marlene said.
"Nice." Lily said as Dorcas walked into the room, she grinned at her friends.
"Well, looks like I'm not over dressed at least." She said as she threw the cloak she was wearing onto one of the beds and spun around for her friends, she was wearing the smallest black dress Lily had ever seen, it had thick black straps, and only just covered her bust, while the skirt only just covered her bum. Her black hair was curled and she grinned at Lily, pointing to her head, there sat a pair of pink and grey mouse ears.
Lily laughed, that was something Sirius would do. Minus the dress.
Minutes later Allie and Nay both appeared laughing.
"Hey guys." They said throwing their cloaks onto the bed, Allie was wearing a pair of nearly non-existent white leather hot pants and a white halter neck leather top, her hair was straightened and she had a halo floating about her head, on her feet were a pair of knee length boots.
Nay was wearing what appeared to be bandages over her chest and wrapped around her lower half, Lily raised her eye brows.
"Don't worry; I had them attached to a pair of hot pants." Nay explained, she grinned and twirled around, she probably had the most on show, mind you she had a figure to show. Her make up was pretty natural though her eyes were covered in silvery eyeliner and her hair was slightly backcombed.
"Well I think it is time we set off." Marlene said as the clock struck seven, so placing on their cloak the girl wandered down the stairs and out into the corridors, they wandered along, laughing and Joking until they reached the Room of Requirement, Peter, dressed in a zombie outfit, let them in.
"I feel kinda bad for him." Lily said as she walked into the room.
"Don't he knew full well what he was getting himself into, and he still gets off with a few girls." Dorcas said, shrugging her shoulders before disappearing into the crowd.
She smirked and went to the bar she got herself a bottle of firewhiskey, immediately taking a large gulp, well aware of a number of eyes on her.
"You look even more tempting then usual." A familiar voice whispered into Lily's ear from behind, Lily turned around and smirked at the boy.
"And I thought we were just friends." Lily said as Remus traced a finger along her jaw line. He looked quickly to her arms, now fully healed, but still the memories lingered, he pulled away. "Make up your mind Remus, am I your friend or am I your girlfriend?" Lily said softly, unable to hide the hurt in her voice. "Because I'm not going to go through what I did with you last time. There's no more trying to convince you to want to be with me."
"Lily, it's not that simple." Remus sighed.
"Tell you what Remus; I'll make it simple for you." Lily said, and she walked away, she really wanted to be with him again, she loved the feel of him touching her again, but she wasn't going to be his yo-yo, she couldn't go back and fourth with him all the time.
Remus cursed as he watched Lily walk away from him, and resented the fact he knew it was for the best.
James watched the scene with interest, it was pretty obvious to anyone watching Lily had made up her mind, and she didn't seem interested in changing that. So taking his chance he stalked through the crowd and got up behind her, pulling her body closer to his from behind, and started dancing with her.
Lily laughed, obviously this boy had way too much confidence, but he wasn't being so demanding, his hands on her skin was soft enough for her to walk away, yet she didn't instead in the middle of the dance floor she started dancing with him, until she looked behind her and realised, much to her horror, it was James.
"G-"
"Don't say anything, just dance." James said looking her directly in the eye, he held her gaze, it was so intense, and for some reason or another Lily did dance, her emerald eyes almost glued to his hazel eyes, the only difference being now was that they were facing each other. A piece of paper couldn't have fitted between their bodies, and as they listened to the music, moving their bodies, they kept eye contact.
Finally what felt like hours later when they broke eye contact Lily realised he was wearing what looked like a white skirt, only when she focused her eyes did she realise he was wearing a sort of toga, with the same design that was on her dress, on his feet were a pair of brown leather sandals, his bare chest was almost flush against her, and it was a sight for sore eyes, he had a gorgeous body, she would admit.
When she looked up to his eyes once more she was trapped, and then he lowered his mouth to hers and she felt her knees buckle, which wasn't a problem as James wrapped her up in his arms, supporting her.
"Oh god." Lily murmured as she threw her head back, allowing him better access to her throat, she was sure this was very wrong, on so many levels, but it felt really good.
Somehow James managed to move so that they were no longer in the middle of the dance floor and somewhere, Lily wasn't sure where exactly, only that her back was against a wall. Without thinking she wrapped one of her legs around his, causing the splits on her dress to fall open, instantly James' hand was on the exposed skin.
"Lily." James growled against her soft skin, and Lily came crashing back to reality, she shoved James away and shook her head, he looked confused.
"Remember that vividly, because it's all you are ever going to get." Lily hissed before stalking back to the bar and getting herself a couple of shots.
James watched her and swore, he was sure he had her then. Lucius grinned as he heard James curse.
"He really doesn't get it does he." Lucius drawled as she sat with Nay on a sofa drinking.
"Who doesn't get what?" Nay asked.
"James doesn't get Lily." Lucius replied.
"Of course he doesn't. He doesn't understand why she isn't attracted to him so much she would just throw herself at him. He doesn't understand why she choose Remus over him. Most importantly he doesn't understand why she doesn't want him." Nay said. "But I shouldn't worry too much."
"And why is that." Lucius asked.
"Because he'll either figure it out and live happily ever after with Lily Potter. Or he'll live a life with lots and lots of girls to date, and lots of fun." Nay replied.
"I don't think living like a bachelor all his life would make him happy." Lucius said.
"Then he'll do what it takes to be with Lily."
