Peeping James

James sat on the couch, eating a chocolate frog as he watched some Muggle tv show where people had sent in videos of them doing stupid things in return for money. He was relatively certain that it was called something along the lines of: 'You've Been Framed!'

Remus and Sirius had slunk off upstairs for a while, and were no doubt engaging in a number of acts that would make James want to go home tonight if he thought about it for too long.

He laughed out loud as he watched a Muggle exaggerate 'attempting' to keep their balance before falling off a raft and into the water.

Only Muggles! he thought to himself.

In the distance he heard the shower turn on upstairs and his attention switched from the television screen in front of him to the woman who would be climbing into the shower—Hope Lupin.

James felt himself react to the knowledge that the older woman was naked and getting wet—he just wished that it was because of him.

He knew in the back of his mind that it was wrong for him to desire one of his best friend's mum as much as he did, but there was just something about her that captivated him more than any girl his own age could. She was like a fine wine and only got better with age. She was, to James, a goddess who deserved to be worshipped.

James's hand twitched towards his pocket where he had stored his invisibility cloak.

I couldn't… I shouldn't… could I?

Remus and Sirius will be busy for at least another hour… they'd never know

Without giving himself a chance to over-think and talk himself out of what he was about to do, he pulled his invisibility cloak out of his pocket and placed it over his body.

He stood up and started to walk up the stairs, being extra careful so as not to make a sound. If Remus and Sirius heard him over the shower, he knew he would be busted and have a lot of questions to answer—questions he would not feel comfortable answering.

When he reached the landing, he confidently walked towards the end door on the landing and slipped inside, taking a seat on the stool by the dressing table where he would wait and then watch.

James wasn't waiting long before Hope walked into the bedroom with a white, fluffy towel wrapped around her perfect body, and smaller towel covering her hair.

How he longed to be the towel, touching her smooth, creamy skin.

His breathing hitched as she slowly removed the concealing towel and allowed it to slip through her fingers and fall to the floor. The action in itself was so sensual that if James didn't know any better, he would swear that she knew he was watching her.

James watched as she walked over to the wardrobe and began to flick through her clothes, giving him a great view of her arse. He briefly wondered if Lyall knew what a lucky man he was to have a wife as hot as Hope—probably not since he was always away for business which coincidently fell in the week surrounding the full moon.

She sang a quiet tune to herself that sounded a lot like one of the Celestina Warbeck songs he heard frequently on the radio. The sixteen year found himself enchanted by the sheer beauty of her singing—she was like a siren and she was calling to him to her.

He watched as Hope appeared to settle on a sapphire blue dress and turned around to place it on the bed. As she did so, he was treated to the most spectacular view of her her round and supple breasts. How he longed to touch and caress them.

With sorrowful eyes, James observed as Hope set about covering up her voluptuous body.

Once she was dressed, Hope made her way into the en-suite bathroom and closed the door behind her, but not before her eyes lingered on the spot where James was sat. He felt his cheeks begin to burn as he wondered if there was a possibility that she knew she was here.

With the door closed, James stood up and decided to use the opportunity to make his exit from the bedroom.

As James slipped out of the bedroom, he cast a glance towards the close en-suite bathroom door and whispered, "Until next time, sweet Hope."

He closed the door behind him and slipped down stairs. He flopped down on the couch and removed his invisibility cloak and placed it back in his pocket, just as Sirius and Remus came thundering down the stairs with satisfied grins on their faces.

"Did we miss much?" Sirius asked.

"Nope, nothing at all," James answered, thinking about the private show he had just enjoyed and smiling.
