This chapter is dedicated to SkyeElf, with her story SkyeNight that you should definitely read, and Yani, with her fantabulous story Maurader meets girl. It just reached chapter 33 and I am in love with her version of Sirius. And her OC is adorable! Lol. Check those both out! A special thanks to miZaru667! Your comment definitely meant a lot to me! Enjoy! ;)
I pushed myself up on the counter in the small bathroom off the ballroom in the huge hotel my sister had picked for the wedding. I took a large swig of firewiskey and placed the half empty bottle on the counter.
"Jamie!" I squeaked, pulling him to me by his tie. He smiled wickedly at me.
"You're drunk Natalya." he said, standing between my legs and putting one hand on each knee. I had already changed out of my maid of honor dress. Now I was in a pair of black jeans that hugged my legs like they were painted on and a billowing peach top that was pre-approved by Margo. My peach pumps felt as if they were weighing down my feet as cinderblocks would.
"No I'm not silly." I giggled and ran my hands carelessly through his hair. The reception was so boring! Tons of people I didn't know. Relatives that seemed be rather excited that Margo had chosen a nice French boy. He was annoying to no end and barely spoke English but Margo thought he was 'romantic' when he didn't know what the devil he was saying.
I had escaped just in the knick of time. People were just starting to relieve all times. I had snuck behind the bar as quickly as possible and took a bottle of firewhiskey. I went in to the bathroom and leaned against the wall. Just as I had emptied the bottle half way there was a knock on the door. I left the bottle on the counter and opened it.
James was standing there with a concerned look on his face. I had smiled at him and pulled him in with me. I locked the door behind him. That's what lead to our current situation. He took my hands out of his hair and placed them on my knees.
"Yes, you are angel." he stated, brushing a lock of hair behind my ear. I whimpered and moved closer to him, wrapping my legs as tightly as I could around his waist. I hiccuped and giggled.
"No I'm not. I just had this much." I put my fingers a millimeter apart, and squinted at it, tilting my head to the side as I giggled again. I reached for the bottle. James sighed, pushing the bottle farther away.
"Angel, come on. No more." he placed his hands on my waist. I snickered. I reached for it again but he moved us over to the other side of the counter. His hands on my arse as he picked me up and moved me. I smirked.
"What's the phrase? If you want to touch her, ask?" I laughed. He rolled his eyes and brought his hands back on the my knees. I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest. "Jamie," I groaned and moved myself a bit closer to hip, our hips coming in to contact.
"Nat, angel, no. Not when you're drunk. I'd be taking advantage of you." he stated and placed a hand on either side of my face. I continued to pout. A sudden idea came to mind. I smirked. I ground my hips in to his and moved my hands to wrap around his torso. He let out what I could tell was an involuntary moan. He pushed me back and got out of my legs. "No." he said firmly.
I glared at him with venom. I growled and worked my jaw from side to side. A surge of defiance hit me. I crawled across the counter, launching myself toward the bottle of firewhiskey. I chugged as much as I could before it was taken away. My throat burned.
"Natalya!" he said in an exasperated voice. He put the bottle under the counter. I continued to glare at him even as my head began to hurt. Oh who was I kidding? I was drunk off my ass! But it was fun. If I had confidence when I was sober, then I was the epitome of self assurance. I had never been drunk before. I knew I was going to regret this in the morning.
"Go away! I hate you!" I yelled, sounding like a four year old. He came closer to me and I back away on the counter until my back was pressed against the wall. My knees pulled up to my chest.
"Please, come with me. You can't stay in here." he stated. I growled at him and swatted his hand away. He rolled his eyes. "Love," he said in a desperate voice. My heart melted instantly. He only called me that when HE was sad.
"I don't want to Jamie." I whispered. But as his hands came up to grab me, I let him take me in to his arms. I stood but stumbled and smacked in to his chest. His hands grabbed my elbows and supported me.
"Come on. You need to get to your hotel room. Let's go." he held me tightly to him. I walked with him out of the ballroom. Anyone who spotted us didn't say anything. I'm sure they assumed we were going off to make out. I wouldn't be objected to that but that was not the point of us leaving.
We got to my suite in record time. Mostly because after we had gotten out of the ballroom, he had swung me up in to his arms and carried me the rest of the way. I opened the door with my key and James walked in, placing me on the bed.
"Go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning." he kissed my forehead and turned to leave. I whimpered and he looked back at me.
"Stay." I held my hands out to him. He closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
"I can't. Not tonight. Get some sleep." he stated calmly. I was not an idiot. The boy had been my best friend for years. Even this drunk I could still tell something was upsetting him.
"What's wrong muffin?" I questioned. He sighed heavily and leaned against the wall opposite of my bed. The boy looked as if he were in physical pain.
"I want to stay, please don't misunderstand me angel. But I can't." he replied rather swiftly and before I could reply he was out the door. I contemplated getting up and chasing after him. There were two problems with that theory. One: I had no idea what room he was staying in for the night. Two: I was too wasted to walk on my own.
I groaned as my head hit the pillow. I rolled on to my stomach. I was so going to pay for this in the morning. I pulled my legs up to my chest as I turned on my side. It would be a long night.

"Happy birthday Natie!" Lily yelled as she entered my home. I smiled and hugged her tightly.
"Thanks Lil. Where's lover boy?" I raised an eyebrow. She glanced back at the door and then Scorpious walked in. I smiled at him.
"Happy birthday." he said as he linked his arm with Lily. I said thank you and waited for the rest of their family. Albus entered and gave me a half hug. After him came his parents.
"Happy birthday dear! Seventeen! Time has just," Ginny sniffled, "flown by." Harry hugged her to his side. I was happy they had come. Truly, I was. But there was someone I hadn't seen since the day after my sister's wedding that I desperately needed to see. After that day in my dorm, four weeks ago, we had yet to sleep together. Had yet to touch each other since the night of the wedding where he had refused me.
I was throughly embarrassed by the idea of that night. I was so hung over in the morning that I stayed in bed most of the day. James had come to say goodbye and that he loved me but kept his distance. He said it was the best thing until I was completely sober and hangover free. I had begged to differ at the moment but now I knew he was right.
"He's not coming. He's with his other girlfriend." Albus said quietly as I looked over Mr. And Mrs. Potter's shoulders. My mouth fell open. I felt my heart constrict. He couldn't be serious.
"He's not serious dear." Ginny said, placing a hand on my arm. I nodded, closed my mouth, and turned to Albus. I glared at him.
"Albus, I am going to kill you." I threatened. He smirked. I took one step toward him but a pair of arms went around my torso. One hand held a bouquet of flowers, white lilies, my favorite. The arms pressed me against a well toned chest that was covered in a soft shirt.
"Happy birthday angel." James' voice whispered in my ear. Tingles went down my spine. I moved back just a little bit, pressing myself closer to him.
"Thank you." I replied. I turned in his arms and gave him a kiss.
"Presents in a few minutes. Come on everyone, let's leave the couple alone for a little bit." My dad said from the living room. As the rest of them moved in to the living room, my dad winked and closed the doors that were the opening between the entrance hall and the living room. You had to love the man.
"Come on Jamie." I tugged on his arm and began to take him toward my bedroom. He rolled his eyes. Suddenly I was scooped up in his arms. He wisked me away to my room. I laughed quietly as he threw me down on my bed.
"Merlin, I missed you." he stated as he sat down next to me. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me in to his side. I pouted and looked up at him.
"I missed you too. But this is not what I wanted when I came in to my bedroom with you." I mumbled in a slightly irritated tone. Before I knew what was happening, I was pinned under James against my fluffy blue and chocolate brown comforter.
"Is this what you wanted?" he asked. He began to kiss his way down my jaw, then moved on to my neck. I mumbled incoherently. I placed my hands on either side of his face and brought his lips up to mine.
"Yes." I stated. His tongue skimmed my bottom lip and I let him in to my mouth. My legs were pinned under him. I tried to move them but it wasn't really working out in my favor. For the first time in our relationship, James took the first step. He began to grind his hips in to mine. I gasped. Not being able to touch him for so long was going to be the end of me. I felt desperate for more.
"Tonight, I promise. I'm staying over anyway." James said as his hands moved down to my hips, pulling me tighter against him. I nodded and he moved his mouth so it was nipping at the most sensitive part of my neck. I let out a moan and there was a knock on my door.
"Yes?" I called in the most controlled voice that I could. There was a laugh from the other side of the door.
"Twenty minutes is up." my dad called through the door. I nodded and then realized he couldn't see me.
"Okay daddy. Be there in a minute." I replied as I reluctantly pushed James off of me. He complied. After a minute of exchanging words I would rather not go in to detail about, we walked hand in hand to the living room.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
I sat on James' lap in one of the two arm chairs in the living room. My father and mother sat on one end of the sofa while Ginny and Harry sat at the other. Scorpious and Lily mirrored James and I. In the back of my mind I wondered if it would be weird for James to go on a double date with his sister, her boyfriend, and me. Probably. Albus lounged on the floor by his parents feet.
My first present came flying in to my hand. It was a small box with wrapped in shimmering gold paper. With all of my well known impatience, I ripped the paper off and smiled. Margo, even though her and her husband were now touring the world for their honeymoon, had gotten me a custom jacket. Red and gold with the Gryffindor crest on the back. It was gorgeous.
Next, from my mother, was a pair of brilliant dangling diamond earring. They were amazing. My father, as usual, had gotten me a present just from him. He had told me on my tenth birthday when I asked why he and mother got me separate gifts that he felt I deserved to be spoiled a bit and get two presents where most children would get one. Then there were presents when I was younger from both of them but that had stopped around my thirteenth birthday.
My father's present was a brand new broom for my seventh year on the Quidditch team. My old broom was sadly falling apart after me having it since I was eight. It made me sad to let it go but my new broom was just fabulous! Next was a present from Ginny and Harry. I was thrilled with the money. Sure, it wasn't totally personal but I would still be able to go shopping and not have to worry about my parents scolding me for buying trivial things with their money.
Albus, Lily, and Scorpious had all chipped in to get me a pair of expensive designer shoes. I knew Lily was behind the gift but the money more then likely came from her boyfriend and her brother had signed his name to it. Finally, I was able to get James' present. I bounced up and down on his lap as he handed me the gift. However, it wasn't wrapped. It was a velvet black box. The word forever was scrawled across it. Forever was an expensive wizarding jewelry store. And by expensive, I mean one necklace costs more than all the food in the Great Hall would if you bought it at a muggle store! All of it.
My eyes widened and I flipped the box open. Inside, nestled in pure black silk was the most exquisite ring I had ever seen. A simple white gold band with three rubies in a line. Two small on either side of a ruby the size of small pebble. He knew I didn't like flashy things. But, why did he get me a ring? I turned my wide eyes to him.
"It's a promise ring." James said with a sweet smile. I beamed happily as I slid the ring on to my right ring finger. He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed right above the ring. "I love you." James whispered.
"I love you too. So so so much!" I replied. I kissed him quickly and then turned my attention back to the ring.
"Let me see!" my mother called. I stood up and walked over to her. Heaven knows if I would have told her to come to me she would have told me I was being a brat. I held out my hand and she examined it carefully. "Absolutely fabulous James. Very exquisite." my mother stated and then my father took my hand in his to look at it.
"How much did this cost you James?" my father questioned. I rolled my eyes and waited for the inevitable response.
"I.." James started. I cut across him.
"He's not going to tell you daddy. At least not with me in the room." I said and my father nodded.
"Good boy James. Never tell the girl how much anything costs. They'll just expect something more expensive next time." my father said. My mother smacked his arm angrily. He, James, and Harry chuckled. Albus and Scorpious exchanged glances and Lily rolled her eyes along with me.
"Daddy, Lily, mum, Ginny and I are going to have to kill you for that comment." I said matter-o-factly. Lily laughed. Ginny and my mother exchanged knowing glances. My father just nodded again.
"I understand. But before you do, remember who it is who knows where your baby photos are. James would you like to see..." I cut across my father, my face turning bright red.
"No! He wouldn't." I said. He laughed merrily.
"Actually," James started. I glared at him.
"Actually what James? Would you like this ring thrown at your head? I'm sure I can make a dent in the thick skull of yours." I raised my eyebrow and placed my hands on my hips.
"Come now angel. You wouldn't do that to your beloved." James placed a hand over his chest, feigning injury to his heart.
"Want to bet?" I asked with a smirk. He began to rise from his chair and my eyes widened. I dashed behind Scorpious and Lily's chair. "James, we're both seventeen now. You can't solve every problem like this!" I squeaked as he moved closer.
"Want to bet?" he asked mockingly. I shook my head and tried to make a run for it. No such luck. He caught me around the waist and immediately threw me over his shoulder.
"Jamie! Let me down!" I yelled. Everyone around us was laughing hysterically. Glad my torture was their amusement. I beat my fists on his back but he just started to twirl us around in a circle. When I was finally let down I was dizzy and more than a little disoriented. "I need to sit." I stated and found myself sitting on the ground. Everyone's laughter was sobering.
"Are you okay Natie?" Lily questioned. I nodded slowly.
"That was wonderful James." Scorpious stated. Lily smacked his arm. He chuckled and kissed her cheek. Albus groaned and fell on to his side. Harry laughed and Ginny joined in. My father smiled happily along with my mother. James plopped down next to me and put an arm around my shoulder.
"I love you." he said and leaned his head against mine. I smiled though I felt like the room was on a tilt.
"I love you too." I said and moved an inch closer to him.

There was a knock on my door and I looked over at the clock on my nightstand. Eleven thirty sharp. He was exactly on time. I got up and opened the door. James leaned against the doorway. I looked him over and smirked. Only pajama pants on was fine with me. I pulled him in to my room.
"Fancy seeing you here." James smirked as he placed himself on my bed. I rolled my eyes and came over to him, climbing on top of him.
"It's my room stupid." I said as I lowered my lips to his. Almost instantly his hands gripped my arse. I smiled against his lips and put a leg on either side of his legs. His tongue entered my mouth and I continued to smile as we battled for dominance. His hands went from my arse to the hem of my shirt and started to pull it over my head. After my shirt was off James flipped us over. He moved my tight cotton shorts out of the way. His fingers looped in to the sides of my knickers.
"Since when did you start taking the lead?" I asked. It had been only two minutes and he almost had me completely undressed. He chuckled as he kissed down my neck. I felt the heat radiate off of his body.
"I haven't touched you like this in almost more than a month. I might be a little...anxious. Is that a problem?" he muttered. I pushed down his pajama pants along with his boxers. He kicked them off as they reached his knees.
"Not at all." I said and ground my hips against his. He chuckled again and kissed the sensitive spot on my neck.
