The other black (J. Potter love story)

Chapter 13

After I walk out of the bathroom, I keep walking till I am in the Slytherin common room. I walk in, and Reg, Taylor, and Henry are sitting on the couches. "Hey, I thought you had charms this period?" Taylor asked. "Oh yeah, some idiot did the spell wrong, and now there an elephant in the classroom, so we were dismissed early," I say and sit next to Reg. "So what have you guys been doing on your off period?" I ask. They all had a break at this time. "We just sat there talking about our futures." Henry chimed in. He was looking me up and down like he could see James and I just had very kinky sex in the lavatories. "We all know Lyra will stay loyal to the dark lord and keep up being his second after all you were chosen," Henry says with a smirk. "Of course, I will. My following will always be to the dark lord and maybe one-day marriage if I haven't impressed our parent enough already." I say and look at Reg. "Well, I'm gonna wait to get my mark or just not get it and get married to a death eater instead," Taylor says with a shrug. "You can just marry Pusey and be done with it already," I tell her, and we all laugh. "Lyra, come on, we have to get ready for the party tonight." She says and grabs my arm, and rushes us towards the stairs. I look back and wave at Henry and Reg.

Taylor and I stay in our rooms all night till we have to be down in the standard room. She had so many plans for how we were each gonna look. I look into the mirror, and the work this woman can do is impressive. I'm in a tight red dress that ends a midthigh with a little scrunch going up the sides and ties at the dress's bottom. She curled my hair, so it looks like soft waves cascading down my back. She did eyeshadow in darker neutral tones making my eyes look bigger. To finish it all off, she put me in a matte red lipstick. "Why do I have to be in all red. I look way better in green, plus its house color." I ask her. "Reg told me about you and Potter. His favorite color is red, just like Gryffindor. So don't you want to look good for him?"

I look at her through the mirror. "Yes," I say, looking back down at my heels. At least my heels were black snakes going up my legs. "Do you think James will like how I look?" I ask back at her. She walks up behind me and wraps her arm around my shoulder. She gives me a side hug. "Of course he will, and if he doesn't leave him because you're beautiful." She says, smiling at me in the mirror. I look at her. "Thank you, Taylor," I tell her. I pull away from the mirror. "We should go and meet up with the boys," I say. I open the door, and we start down the staircase to the common room.  

We walk into the common room, and everything stops. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Henry walks up to me and offers me his arm. I take it and wave bye to Taylor. She finds Alexander and me, and Henry walks out of the dungeons and to the room of requirement. There we find the marauders. They are all sitting on their asses waiting to go in. "Hey, Lyra," Sirius says. I smile. "Hi, Sirius," I say. "Henry, go in, and I'll meet you in there," I say and pat his arm, letting go of him. He glares, and the marauders then kiss my cheek and walk-in. I look over to James, and he is fuming. I was surprised I didn't see smoke coming out of his ears yet. "When are you guys going in?" I ask. "J-j-James wanted us t-t-to wait here for y-y-you." Peter squeaked out in a tiny voice. I look over to James, and he stood up from his position on his ass. He strides toward me and puts his hand on my waist, and attaches his mouth to mine. I kiss him back and then pull away.

"Well, I'm going in now," I say and walk towards the doors. I throw them open and stand in the doorway, looking at the party. Some stop to look at me; others are too drunk to care. I walk in and head straight to the bar. "A fire whiskey please," I ask. The dude behind the bar grabs me one and hands it to me. "Thank you," I say, and walk off. Soon enough, I find most of Slytherin's house congregated on the couches. I sit right next to Henry, and he wraps an arm around me. I take a sip of the fine whiskey and relish the burn as It goes down my throat. I smile and look around.

The marauders and I were sitting on the floor because we were gonna do a big entrance. I also wanted to see Lyra before I went in. I saw her and Chamber walked in here together. Their arms were linked. That had me fuming, and when he kissed her cheek, it just fueled my urge to hit him as hard as I can. I also take in Lyra and all her beauty. Her dress was skin tight red dress. My exact favorite color and the color of Gryffindor. Lyra made her big entrance and completely ruined ours. So we just walked in, and no one turned heads. I watch Lyra closely. She is sitting way too close to Chambers, and he had to get his arm off her.

"James, stop sulking over Lyra; the Slytherins are playing truth or dare and are letting people join this time. Were going to play." Remus said and dragged me over to the circle of Slytherins. It was mostly Slytherin, but I could see a couple of Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs. I'm sitting next to Lilly, Marlene McKinnon, and a couple of other of their dorm mates. "Evens, it's your turn to ask somebody," Parkinson says, eyeing Lilly up and down. "Marlene, truth, or dare." She says. "Dare." Marlene picks. She is never one to back down from a dare. Lilly smirks at her. "Kiss the hottest person in this circle." She says. Marlene is shocked. She starts blushing furiously. Marlene stands up and walks over to Lyra. She bends down and kisses Lyra on the mouth. Lyra looks shocked at first but then kisses her back. What the actual hell is going on. Lyra breaks the kiss, and Marlene goes to sit back down.

Marlene stands in front of me and just kisses me. I was shocked. I never knew she was interested in girls. It was a dare, and I wanted to give the people something to talk about, so I kissed her back. It's not that I didn't like James or anything. I just wanted to help her fill her dare. I break the kiss, and she goes to sit down. Her face is entirely red. We keep playing truth or dare. Then it lands on James. I knew he was already pissed at me from Henry escorting me to the party, and he had to be even more pissed that I kissed Marlene back. He looks towards me.

"Black truth or dare." He says with a smirk. I take the fire whiskey out of Henry's hand and drown it quickly. "Dare," I respond. His smirk widens. "I dare you to make out with a person of my choice for 5 minutes." He says. "Well, then Potter choose a person." I grab Taylors fire whiskey and drown that too. "Taylor isn't much of a drinker, so she's still sober. I so far have had way too many drinks and will barely remember this night in the morning. "You have to make out with me."

He says. Everyone playing goes quiet. They are all staring at him. I look at him with an eyebrow propped up. I stand up, and he walks over to me. He grabs my hand and drags me to one of the other rooms people make out in. He closes the door then attacks my lips. We both know everyone is listening outside the door. He keeps kissing me. Then he whispers. "You've been a bad girl letting Chambers touch you like that and have Marlene kiss you. Your mine." He says and bites my bottom lip. I whimper out. Someone knocks on the door. "Your five minutes are up," Henry yells. We broke apart and were breathing heavily. We look at each other. I then go to the door and walk out first. I stumble out of the room and fall straight into Henry's arms. "We should get you back to the dorms." He said. "Yesss, but first I wanna say bye to Sirius," I say and stand up. I walk over to Sirius. "I didn't know you were into girls, Lyra?" Remus said. Sirius had his head in Remus's lap. James was sitting on a chair, and Peter was on the floor, not looking me in the eyes.

"No, Slytherin is completely straight. Goodnight, boys." I say and walk back towards Henry. He takes my hand and leads me down to the dungeons. Soon we're in the common room, and I walk to my dorm. I get in and close the door, lie down on my bed and pass out.
