Ineffebly Different (smut)

done by AureliaBlack90 on fanfiction.net

Lily and her friends had merely been looking to have a girl's night out. They got all dressed up and headed to their favorite club in London, a muggle place they had discovered after they graduated from Hogwarts and moved in together downtown. They had been several times before, always dancing for a bit and having a few drinks before heading home for dessert and a movie. But tonight had been different, because tonight, James Potter had walked in.

He had sauntered in behind Sirius Black, and was followed by Remus Lupin. Although he looked almost the same as he had a year ago when they parted ways at graduation, there was something ineffably different about him. He looked older somehow; it was clear that he had grown up a lot in the past year. He had a five o'clock shadow and was wearing muggle clothing. She had never seen him in anything but wizard's robes before. He wore a dark leather jacket that stretched across his taught, broad shoulders; a grey tee underneath paired with dark muggle jeans. But despite those things, he really wasn't all that different than she remembered. He walked in with his head held high in confidence, a lighthearted grin easily gracing his features. It took her nearly an hour of watching him to realize that it must have been her that had changed in the past year. She had never been so turned on just by watching someone before; and she didn't remember ever feeling that way towards him when they were in school. Had she?

She sat at the bar sipping her second drink and watching him laugh with his friends, chatting with the various girls that came up to their table. As the hour slipped by she began to fear that he would choose some other girl out of the crowd. The longer she waited the more anxious she became. It had been so long since they had seen each other, and even longer since he had had a so-called 'crush' on her. She wondered if he would see her as a mere friend to catch up with, or if there was a possibility he could still be interested…

"Hey Lily, who ya staring at?" Lily jumped as though coming out of a stupor when Marlene came up behind her. She should have realized that her friends would eventually come looking for her when she never came back with drinks.

"uhh, no one in particular" lily said offhandedly; her eyes never leaving the spot they had been glued to for almost an hour. Marlene sidled up next to Lily and looked in the right direction, searching for someone particularly good looking, perhaps someone they knew. At last her eyes landed on the three boys lounging at a table across the club. Marlene squealed in recognition, causing Lily to jump in her seat and whirl around to face her.

"Oh my god, Lily! You have to go talk to him!" Marlene cried. Lily immediately began shaking her head.

"No. No, I couldn't! No, I just can't."

"Oh yes you can!"

The argument persisted and nearly turned violent until Marlene finally convinced Lily to go over. She finished her drink, tossed her head and squared her shoulders. She was doing this. Fuck. She was actually doing this.

As she approached she could see the three of them laughing about something Sirius had said to a girl who had just left in a huff. She was originally hoping to simply say hello, chat for a few minutes and leave. But as she drew closer to him, she realized that she couldn't just walk away from this. This was going to happen. James Potter wasn't going to know what had hit him.

Just before she reached the table Sirius saw her coming up behind James and his eyes widened, not only in surprise but also at how hot she looked. He nudged Remus and nodded in her direction; Remus' eyebrows shot up.

"What is it guys?" James asked just before he felt a delicate hand touch his shoulder, and someone lean in and whisper in his ear.

"Fancy seeing you here" Lily whispered to him, so lightly he almost didn't believe he'd heard anything. James was slightly in shock; Lily Evans in a club? Talking to me no less? She kept her hand on his shoulder as she leaned forward to say hi to Sirius and Remus, who were sitting across the table.
