15|SLUGHORNS PARTY

Her eyes darted between the two dresses Lily held, debating which one was her favourite. She kept going back to the simple dark green silk gown, thinking about how it would match his tie.

Lily pushed the green dress closer, agreeing with her thoughts about matching her date. Willow grinned and took the dress from her friends hand, slipping into it before looking at herself in a mirror.

"Holy shit." The red head gasped, trailing her eyes over Willows body. "You look so hot. Where did those tits come from? Did they get bigger?"

"They've always been this big." Willow laughed, grinning at how her body looked. The silky material hugged each of her curves and perfectly accentuated her breasts.

"Here, let me do your hair." Lily beckoned her over to the dresser. She slipped her fingers through Willows soft brown locks, taking out the curlers till her hair dropped into a slight curl. "You're so beautiful."

"Lily." She smiled up at the girl. "I love you. I can't wait for you to become my sister. And you can try to deny it but me and Remy read your diary."

"You read my diary?"

"You're so poetic." Willow laughed louder as Lily pushed her with annoyance. "I'm just disgusted Remus read out the sex part to me."

"I'm going to kill him!" Lily gasped, pacing the room as she mumbled about all the ways she was going to murder the boy. "Oh, thank you for buying me this dress. And the heels."

"I'm rich." She shrugged to her friend. "Might as well use my money to spoil my best friend."

The two girls finished getting ready and head down to the common room, finding Remus and James waiting for the pair. Lily went straight into James's open arms, warning him not to touch her hair or mess up her lipstick.

"You ready?" Remus offered the two girls his arms, leading them to Professor Slughorns office for the party. "I'll keep an eye on your two girls, Prongs."

"Thank you." James nodded to the boy before watching his sister and girlfriend leave. He smiled to himself, questioning how he got so lucky to have Lily as his girlfriend.

"Sorry we are a little late." Willow beamed as she walked straight over to Severus, excited to see him.

"You look beautiful." Severus swallowed hard, allowing his eyes to take her all in. "Green?"

"Well I had to match my date." She teased, looping her arm in his as they followed Lily and Remus into the office.

"Miss. Potter and Master Snape." Professor Slughorn greeted the pair, gesturing for them to sit in the two empty seats. "I was so excited to see your draft project paper and test your potions. You two should be proud of yourselves."

"Thank you, sir." Willow said gratefully, nudging Severus excitedly as she knew that meant they had passed with full marks.

The night went on without a hitch, Professor Slughorn asking each student about their plans after Hogwarts. Willow smirked as the meal came to an end, still feeling his eyes on her all evening.

"Walk with me?" She offered as they left the Slug Club. She waved a good bye to her two best friends, hearing them squeal excitedly and give her a thumbs up.

They wandered through the dark castle, arms linked as small chatter was shared between them. Willow shivered as they stepped outside, wandering towards the Black Lake. The autumn breeze blowing through her long hair.

"You look very beautiful tonight." Severus stated as they stopped beside the water. "But I can think of a better place for your dress."

"Your bedroom floor?" She flirted, looking up at him with doeful eyes. She stepped forwards, hands resting on his chest as he placed one on her hip. His other hand cupped her cheek, pulling her closer as his lips dipped down.

"What the fuck?" A voice yelled, pulling the pair away from each other. "Get your filthy hands off my sister."

"Fuck." Willow cursed as she realised who had spotted her. Her eyes met Remus's, the boy giving her a sympathetic look as James bound over to the pair. "James, I swear to Merlin that I will break your nose if you say one thing about who I'm allowed to kiss."

"You do realise who he is?" James pointed at the silent boy, glaring in annoyance as a smug look stayed glued on Severus's lips. "You've spent so long pulling pranks on him and bitching about how much of a creep he is to Lily yet here you are snogging him. Did you forget everything from the past six years?"

"Shut the fuck up." She gritted her teeth, eyes burning through her brother as she gripped her wand. She saw how Severus stilled beside her, his entire smug expression falling from his face. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, Sev."

Willow left the group of boys, barging her shoulder into James's. She ignored Remus's calls of worry and Sirius's ranting to James about his actions.
