The Better Chaser; James Potter

Chapter 42- Slug Club Christmas Party 76'

A.N: This is similar to the dress I had imagined for Reigna, but instead of the cutout being horizontal over her stomach, imagine it diagonal, in order for it to completely cover her scar, so the dress has a Z like cutout

I walked back to my dorm room already planning my outfit. I needed something sexy that would piss off Regulus and Severus. If Potter was any bit serious about being dark, I wanted to match the part. 

Once I arrived I started getting ready right away as it was already five, and I wanted to take my time. I showered and did my hair first. I straightened it to be pin straight, with some help of a few charms, and some Sleakeazy. I then started on my makeup. I kept it simple with the face makeup, but did a dramatic eye with a smokey wing making me look sultry. I then finished it up with some blush and my go to strawberry lipgloss. 

I looked through my trunk to try and figure out what I could wear when I came across the perfect dress. I had gotten it whilst Regulus and I were together, and I remembered how much he wanted to see it on me.

I smirked as I slipped the sexy dress on, with all its cutouts, it covered my scars and my dark mark perfectly, while hugging all my curves. 

Regulus is going to freak, I thought, smirking

It's definitely not Christmassy but who said there was a dress code?

I slipped on some knee high velvet boots to pair with it, as it is still winter, but wore no tights. I then checked the time and rushed to put on my jewelry as I saw that it was 6:58. I slipped on some rings, and made sure I had my usual necklace on, then put on some silver snake earrings that match both my rings and my necklace.

I sprayed some of my strawberry scented perfume on and rushed out my dorm door. I heard a wolf whistle come from one of the sleezy fifth year Slytherins and I flipped him off as I walked out of the common room. Once I exited I saw Potter leaning against the wall and holy fuck-

He was wearing an all black suit, with a black button up. I could tell he tried to do something to his hair, but it was still in a messy curly nest which was somehow sexier. The lowlight from the dungeons made his jawline stand out and he looked really fucking good. My eyes widened as I stared at him and he finally said,

"Told you I could go dark," He smirked at my reaction,

His smirk sobered me up and I responded, "Not bad Potter, black suits you. You should try wearing other colors than maroon sometimes," I teased,

"Black suits you too Watson," He eyed me up and down shamelessly. He offered me his arm, "Shall we," 

"I can't believe I actually agreed to this," I muttered. But nonetheless I intertwined my arm in his as he walked me the short distance to the party, that was also in the dungeons,

"Being this close to the classroom must be really convenient," He made small talk,

"I guess," I shrugged. After a short pause I added, "I don't get why you're doing this, but I don't expect you to do anything at all- just so you know," I explained

"I guess it's a way of getting back at Snape for me. I am trying to be the bigger person, but when someone almost kills you, it's difficult to not take the perfect opportunity at getting back at him," He explained, "And also what Regulus did to you was totally not cool, so I would help you get back at him- even if I had nothing in it for me," He added,

Even if nothing was in it for him?

What a weird thing to say

I smiled softly at that remark, "I know what it feels like, I try and be the bigger person but when Lily suggested it, it just seemed like so much fun. I know I shouldn't care or be petty, but sometimes I want to be- is that so bad?" I asked, looking up at him
