lazy .d a y s. -James-

[Emmeline Vance]

She was moving again. She didn't even notice, or didn't care enough to. She didn't know how, didn't know why, she didn't even know when. All she knew was that she was now straddling James with her hand in his hair (almost as though she was on a mission to mess his hair up more). Her kiss got slightly more needy. The want was clearly defined. Her head told her to stop. Told her it was wrong on so many levels. But she didn't. She couldn't. Her body wouldn't let her. Question was: Why not?[/size]

[Celestina Flamel]

Celestina was quietly walking through the grounds with a book in her hands, looking for a nice place to sit and relax without interruption. She could read and relax for once. However, just then.. she heard an odd sound... it was like.... whispering? but not quite... no... it was.... gigling and... gasping? and? what?

Celestina had always been a naturally curious personality, and so she diverted her steps to follow the path of the odd noises, wondering what could possibly be causing them. What she wasn't expecting was what she found..

Emmeline and James.. practically glued together.. Emmeline was straddling James' waist with her skirt almost all the way up around her waist, her hands in James' hair making it all the more messed up and their lips were sealed in a very passionate kiss..

"Au secours!" She exclaimed not so quietly and in shock as she covered her eyes and turned away in embarrassment..

[James Potter]

When Emme climbed on top of him he moved both hands down and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her to him until their entirety if their torsos were pressed up against each other. This, combined with the the movement and pressure that Emme was now putting on his lap, cause him to get quite excited as the blood rushed to the area between his legs. James could no longer control himself and didn't think he could have stopped even if he had wanted to.

However, several things happened that changed this. In the distance, James heard the school bell ring to signal the end of classes. His brain told him that it would be wise to stop until he and Emme would be alone again. He considered this, but decided that it would take a couple of minutes for students to actually leave their classes. In the mean time...

His calculations, however, were wrong. The second thing he heard was a gasp followed by an exclamation in french. This did in fact cause him to pull away from Emme rather abruptly. He looked in the direction that the sound had come from and saw the back of a person person with long red hair. For a second his heart stopped as he thought it might have been Lily. But, upon closer examination he realized that it wasn't. This person was too tall to be Lily. Still, someone had seen them...

[Celestina Flamel]

Celestina took off like a shot across the yard, her face going every color of red imaginable as she ran like the wind.. her feet stubbed across sticks and stones she didn't care.. she nearly fell flat on her face, tripping and muttering in surprised at what she'd seen... how could James profess to love Lily and be practically on top of Emmeline at the same time.. Celestina's heart thudded more as she ran back into the castle..

[Emmeline Vance]

Emmeline groaned in annoyance as the school bell rang. Her head filled with swear words, but she continued her heated kissing. Figured they'd have several minutes before students actually got down to the where they were under the tree. This however, was proven wrong when an alarmed exclamation caused James to break the kiss. The sudden noise made Emme jerk backwards, as though to stand. Though with the combination of James's arms and the position of Em's legs made this impossible and she tumbled backwards, her shoulders hitting the ground.

"Um, ow," she said, rather stupidly, as James' knees decided to make themselves comfortable in the small of her back. She turned her head to the noise. "That new girl has the most worst timing, in the bloody world," she muttered as the intruder ran off.[/size]

[James Potter]

He hadn't meant to send Emme tumbling off of him. He imagined that it had been a result of her being just as surprised as he was. James' brain was still too engrossed in its excited state to figure it out on his own. It wasn't until Emme said it that he realized who the person was that had stumbled upon them. "Shit!" he exclaimed. He put one arm on the ground and pushed himself up into a standing position. He straightened out his robes and tried to brush the grass off of them. As he did so he noticed the bulge in his pants and now just wished it would go away. He turned to Emme and offered her his hand to help herself up. "Shit! Shit! Shit!" he muttered to himself. He couldn't help but aim some of his frustration at the new girl. So far, all she had done was fuel more and more reasons for Lily to despise him. Sure, the transfiguration thing hadn't been entirely her fault and it certainly wasn't her fault that he was snogging Emme. But she was always the one that dragged Lily into it.

[Emmeline Vance]

Emmeline stared at James with a look that clearly said well-what-about-me. She smiled, ironically, as James started swearing. She grabbed his hand and pulled herself up. Straightening out her skirt, she could help but notice the particular ... state James was in. She blushed slightly, partially aware she was the cause. "Okay, like, that girl needs to stop running," Emmeline said. "Because she'll spread-" Her world literally came to a halt as everything crashed. "Sirius is gunna murder me!" she exclaimed, a stunned look on her face. How the hell did she forget about him?[/size]

[James Potter]

Frankly, James hadn't even been thinking of Sirius. His thoughts had been focused on Lily. Now that Sirius had been brought up he felt a lot worse. Lily didn't even like him, so what would she care if he was snogging someone else? But Sirius... he had just been talking with James about Emme and how he had brought her to this special place he had found in Hogwmede. He was immediately ridden with guilt. James considered the girl who was now racing away from them. Normally, James might have gone after the person and bribed or begged them not to say anything. He was well enough liked in the school that this would have worked for most people. But, he knew that this would be a fruitless action with Celestina. He stood there and didn't know what to do. Well... maybe it wouldn't get around to Sirius. I mean the new girl didn't really talk to anyone, she didn't know anyone. How would he find out?

James officially felt awful. He didn't know where he and Emme stood now. Did she really want to meet with him tonight? Had they crossed too far over the line of friendship? He didn't think so... Then there was Lily. What would she think? Would she care at all? Maybe she would be jealous... that would be a plus. What about Sirius? Most of all James hoped that none of this reached his ears...

[Emmeline Vance]

Emmeline closed her eyes, leaning against the tree. "Well," she started, almost comically, "It was fun till reality kicked in." She sighed heavily and sank down to the ground. Running her hand through her hair, she made a quiet noise of distaste as she started picking leaves and grass out of her hair. Easier said than done. Emmeline almost smiled, despite everything. "Or, Sirius might not believe it. I mean look at it this way, we've been his best friends since first year. And, most of the school thinks you and I are dating, anyway, because of the way we act around each other. If tell him it didn't really happen. Who's he going to believe? Us or the new girl?"

[James Potter]

What she was saying made a lot of sense. There was no way that this could turn out badly. He could even use the same excuse on Lily if the subject was ever brought up. "You make a good point" he said, smiling for the first time since they had been interrupted. He calmed down a bit and his brain started to come out of its lust-filled foggy state. Now that those problems had been solved, it only left one thing. What about the two of them? Less than an hour ago they had been talking about seeing each other that evening to... enjoy the pleasure of each others company. He wasn't sure what to think now. Part of him, represented by the bulge in his pants, seemed to still be keen on the idea. Hoping that his arousal wasn't extremely obvious, he casually put his hands in his robe pockets and moved them in front of his crotch, creating a veil of cloth. He was not usually an awkward person so the feeling was rather new to him. He really wished that he could read Emme's mind right now...

[Emmeline Vance]

"You make a good point."

Emmeline smirked. "Of course, I do, baby," she said. "This is exactly why I'm in Ravenclaw and you're in Gryffindor." She bit down hard on her bottom lip to keep her from bursting into laughter as she closed her eyes. "Okay, James. A hint, doing that doesn't make it less obvious. And the fact I noticed you in your ....state several minutes ago when I stood up and dusted off my skirt." She blushed, biting her lip in mock innocence instead of laughter this time.

"James, I- It- I was considering- I still- still am- But- Yeah. I was about to go through with it later. Yeah, caught in the moment type maybe? But, no. Because I still can't get it out of my head. Why- Why- Yeah." She really wasn't even talking to James at this point. Just voicing the thoughts in her head.[/size]

[James Potter]

James decided to ignore the fact that she seemed to have just insulted his intelligence. He looked around as the school grounds filled up with people just getting out of class.

"Okay, James. A hint, doing that doesn't make it less obvious. And the fact I noticed you in your ....state several minutes ago when I stood up and dusted off my skirt."

"Oh yeah?" he said, blushing slightly. This was also something rather new for James. He didn't usually have anything to be embarassed about. "Well, what do you suggest I do?" he asked under his breath as a large group of third year gryffindor girls walked past them, obviously heading to herbology. He tried to keep his back to them as they giggled along. He doubted that their giggling had anything to do with him, (girls were always giggling right?), but it still made him uncomfortable.

"James, I- It- I was considering- I still- still am- But- Yeah. I was about to go through with it later. Yeah, caught in the moment type maybe? But, no. Because I still can't get it out of my head. Why- Why- Yeah."

"I know" was all he could say. He stared at the ground. He could tell that her thoughts echoed his own. He tried to decipher what she was saying. Most of it came out as rambling, disjointed fractions of thoughts, but one thing stuck out to him. She was still considering it, like he was. After all, they had already been caught, per se. That wasn't really a worry anymore. The real question was... why not?

People continued to pass by them, heading to class or planning to skip, but none of them payed him and Emme very much attention. At the moment, James felt very impulsive... so, without much thought, he made a rather bold decision. He took several steps toward Emme so that they were close to each other again. He smirk his trademark smile as he leaned into her ear and whispered one word, "Where?"

[Emmeline Vance]

"Well, what do you suggest I do?"

Emmeline smiled. "I have several things I can think of that you can about it. None of which my mother would approve of," she said, biting on her bottom lip. She somehow managed to stop blushing at this point with a gleam sparking in her eyes.

"Where?"

Where? Where? James expected her to pick a place? "Um," she said thoughtfully. "Well, I could sneak you into the Prefects' Lounge. There's a slight chance of getting caught, unless of course we change the password. Which I know how to do."[/size]

[James Potter]

"I have several things I can think of that you can about it. None of which my mother would approve of"

He laughed. "Now you're just teasing me" he whispered with a smirk that she couldn't see. Being so close to her once again brought out desire he had had before the bell rang. Her hair had brushed against his cheek when he leaned into her ear and he was so close that he could smell the faint aroma of her shampoo. He leaned down gently to kiss her neck as she said something about the prefect's lounge and getting caught. "No worry there... we've already been caught remember?"

He wasn't sure what had gotten into him. In truth, he was acting a bit like Sirius did when he was seducing some girl. Maybe he had just finally been pushed over the edge by Lily's coldness toward him...

[Emmeline Vance]

Emmeline leaned her head to the side as he kissed her neck. "Now you're just teasing me, baby," she whispered back, smiling as her eyes closed. "Hey, hey, let's go now. Like right now." Damn. She didn't even know if that made her sound desperate or not. Quite honestly, she didn't care.

"No worry there... we've already been caught remember?"

"Point taken," she paused for a moment. "Now?" she asked, sounding like a child told she'd have to wait until have dinner to have a cookie.[/size]
