Lily came into the Great Hall the same way she always did: a determined look on her face, chin lifted up confidently, carrying overflowing papers in her arms, but something was different. Those paper she carried? They werenât filled with head girl applications or polished assignments, no, they were party invitations.
She sat at her usual seat, and as per usual, the marauders ruffled through her papers. âParty invitations?â Whispered Sirius excitedly, as though it was something secret. Lily puffed her chest out âY/nâs throwing a party, and encouraged me to extend the invitations to some Hogwarts students.â James cleared his throat to stop himself from choking on his tea. âIâm sorry? Your parents are letting you throw a party? The same two people who didnât let you come over to Marleneâs tea party?â Lily grinned widely. âWell, y/n only comes home during the summers. Iâm there every winter and spring break , so she kind of has a way with our parents. All she had to say was âthis is our last summer before we graduateâ and she had them.â
âWait, wait, wait,â Marlene cut in, her face lighting up, âIf this is y/nâs party, does this mean itâs going to be filled with sexy french kids?â Lily nodded happily, sharing a look with the other marauders. It was going to be the party of the year.
You and Lily were the epitome of opposites. Youâd engrossed yourself in getting to know all the kids in the neighborhood and quickly because friends with your french neighbour, while Lily only befriended one â Severus. By force of being around the young boy, youâd learned his language, his language which quickly became your own. Whilst you and Lily had your own friends, no one was closer to you both than each other. You were twins, not only blood brothers but best friends. Due to your linguistic talent, youâd not only received a letter from Hogwarts on your eleventh birthday, but from Beauxbatons too. Petunia, ever so jealous of your relationship and your magic, had duped your parents into sending you away.
Petunia had ran off crying, locked in her room alone until she formed the plan of the century to break your relationship with your twin apart. âWell, theyâre always together. Isnât it better for them to learn how to live apart from each other?â And your parents had fallen for her trick. Now, you only saw each other during the summers, and your relationship was stronger than ever. But things would soon change.
The only thing Lily heard of for the rest of the day was this party. Who was she inviting? How many people would be there? âSirius, itâs not my party. I donât know the details. All Iâve been told is that I have these invitations to give out to people.â Sirius stared at the front of the boldly decorated invitation on the top of the pile which read in a glittery font âNo invite, no entry!â He ran a rough estimate in his mind and decided there had to be at least seventy invitations in the stack of papers. âCan I help give them out?â
Lily and Sirius had proudly made up a list of who to invite, or not to invite, the rest of the marauders eventually gathering around to put in their own two cents. When the invitations had been given out, Lily returned to her dorm whilst the marauders all sat in front of the black lake, soaking up the limited sun rays whilst staring at their own invitations. âThis is some high end decor.â Commented Remus, turning his invitation in his hands. The fonts had been carefully chosen, and a textured disco ball sat in the centre of the page. âYeah, according to Lily, y/n loooves to party.â Marlene added, laying on her back. âIâm excited to meet her,â started James âShe sounds fun, and we barely ever hear about her from Lily.â
Sirius hummed, gears turning in his brain. âLily said theyâre nothing alike.â He recalls. It was true. You and Lily werenât only opposites in terms of personality, but looks too. Despite being twins, you had taken all of your fatherâs genes while Lily took after your mother. No one ever believed you when you said you were twins, let alone siblings.
The party was nearly an entire month later. The marauders found themselves outside an ordinary muggle house, glancing at each other nervously. Had they arrived too early? Marlene glanced down at her invitation, ensuring that they were there right on time. A knock on the door and they were waiting. The door slammed open and they were met with you, a bright smile on your face and a tray in the other with an array of pink and blue jell-o shots. You werenât the only thing that welcomed them, but the loud roar of noise from inside the house blasted them too. Remus cocked an eyebrow, thinking âThatâs one mean silencing charm.â âGrab a drink you guys!â You called, holding the door open with your foot as you moved to the side for them to come in. You introduced yourself over the noise, clueless to the mesmerised eyes following you.
Sirius let himself be dragged into the house by Remus, though his eyes followed you as you escaped into the backyard. Lily had been right, you werenât nothing alike. You wore fishnets under your small denim shorts, your top exposing more than just midriff. He gulped, trying not to be caught staring at your breasts when you turned around, instead moving his gaze to the endless jewellery you wore.
Sirius heard himself gasp â apparently the french like to be early. The party in the backyard was lit, he finally noticed, with groups of people already playing beer pong, dancing to the music, and even exchanging light conversation. Lily ran to join them, trying to properly introduce you to her friends, but you were running back to the door as the bell rung once more. Apparently everyone arrived at once, because a crowd of people suddenly flooded the living room. A mix of elegant french and fast english chatter filled the air, and Sirius saw Marleneâs jaw drop, already picking the girl she was going to spend the rest of the night flirting with. Just as Lily was about to catch you, you jumped onto the coffee table, pointing your wand to your neck with an amplification charm.
âOkay, listen up everyone!â You called out, and from within the crowd, Sirius caught your eye, his muscular arms thrown over two of his friends' shoulders. You hadnât properly noticed him when he walked in, but now? You shook the thought out of your head. âWe have about 200 wizards in this house. A house that you can tell is in a muggle neighbourhood! Now, my silencing charm may be great, but it doesnât hide magical activity! So if we can keep the magic down to a minimum and get the party up to a maximum that would be great! Whereâs my music!?â And suddenly the music roared to life. Sirius shoved to the front of the crowd, offering you a hand to help you down from the coffee table. You felt your stomach jump at his offer, the light reflecting off his silver jewellery. Instead of taking Siriusâs hand, you wrapped your arms around his neck, swinging your legs off the table. Sirius snaked his arms around your waist without missing a beat, spinning you around so you let out a joyous laugh. âAnd who might you be?â You asked, running your hands down his chest before letting them hang by your sides.
Sirius curtseyed, miming saluting you with a hat whilst very poshly saying âSirius Black, at your service.â You giggled, putting both your hands on his bicep. âHey, you met Sirius!â Lily cut in, bumping you with her hip. You met her eyes, and they glinted with mischief. She most definitely knew how attracted you were to Sirius in that moment. âCome meet the others!â She didnât give you time to respond, instead tugging you away from the curly haired boy. You waved at him, yelling âIâll see you later!â and then âShut upâ to Lily when you turned around. You didnât have to look at her to know she was smiling like the cheshire cat.
James was the first to bring you into a hug, his hands respectfully patting your back. You turned to look at Lily, nodding in approval. Your introductions with Remus and Marlene were quick, witty comments given by each of them before Marlene so boldly asked âHey, is that cute brunette over there into girls?â You laughed, wrapping an arm around her waist. âSweetheart, youâre going to have to be more specific, but for you? Anyone would be into girls.â Simple to say, Marlene turned bright red, and not because of the warmth the alcohol had given her.
When Sirius returned to the group, you were already gone, dancing with your friends. He threw his arms around Jamesâs shoulders, resting his head on his best friendsâs shoulder. âJames, weâre going to be brothers in law!â The boy barked out a laugh, pushing Sirius away to look at him properly. âIâm in love with her James.â Remus laughed, slapping a hand on Siriusâs back. âWell what are you going to do about it buddy?â He asked, sharing an amused glance with James. âIâm going to convince her to come to Hogwarts. Wait! First, Iâm going to make her fall in love with me!â Sirius frowned at his two friendsâ loud laughs, muttering something like âIâll show you.â But he didnât have the chance to come find you in the crowd, because two pairs of hands were placed upon his shoulders, and you appeared, saying âCome dance with me.â
Sirius almost passed out at your offer, blindly following you onto the dance floor and missing the surprised look Remus and James shot each other. Apparently, you wouldn't need much convincing to fall for Sirius. Sirius took your hand, spinning you around, and you looked away from him as though it would hide the bite of your lip. Siriusâs jeans were just tight enough around the crotch, and low waisted enough that every time he raised his arms too high, a sliver of his abdomen would show as his top would ride up. You spun around in Siriusâs arms, pressing your back against his chest. His hands trailed down to your hips, tugging them closer to his own. You giggled, moving your body alongside the music. Sirius groaned, whispering the lyrics in your ear, his hot breath hitting your sweaty skin.
The next time Sirius groaned, it wasnât out of enjoyment, it was because someone had called out your name. âViens avec nous? Just une cigarette!â (Come with us? Just one cigarette!) You had laughed at your friendâs words, shaking your head. âNon, il est trop beau, je ne veux pas le quitter!â (No, heâs so gorgeous, I donât want to leave him!) Sirius hummed as you turned around in his arms, putting both your hands on his chest. âCome outside with me! Somewhere we can talk!â You grinned, sliding both your hands down in his, and letting him drag you outside.
You let Sirius guide you to a less crowded side of your garden, where you could people watch without being disturbed. You pushed Sirius against the wall of your backyard, watching as his eyebrows flew upwards in surprise. âSo, Mr. Black, what would you like to discuss?â Sirius felt his heart surge, its pace quickening by the second, and he was sure you could feel it under your fingertips too. âGo out with me.â He heard himself blurt, and his eyes went wide at his own question. You laughed, looking around. âArenât we out right now?â The silence he left you with made you giggle, leaning your head forward on his chest. âIâm just joking.â Sirius shoulders slumped down in relief, hands loosely gripping your hips.
âI donât want this to just be a little party flirt. I want to really get to know you. You⊠you seem cool.â You pressed yourself onto your tip toes, leaning forward to softly kiss Sirius. He sighed as you pulled away, chasing the kiss softly, but you refused to reconnect your lips. âIâd really like that.â Sirius smiled widely, pulling you flat against his body. âAnd hey, who knows, maybe you can show me around Hogwarts?â Sirius nodded, replying with âYeah of- wait, what?â You straightened your back, cocking your head to the side. âYeah, Iâm moving to Hogwarts next year. Mum and dad finally had enough of me being so far away.â You interrupted yourself with your own laugh, pushing yourself off of him and looking around. âThatâs what this is! My goodbye slash welcome party. Didnât Lily tell you?â Sirius shook his head, stepping closer to you. âWell since Iâll be seeing more of you, can I properly kiss you now?â
Nodding at Sirius, you let him tug you closer to him, bringing you into a passionate kiss. You gasped at the force of his kiss, letting Sirius slide his tongue into your mouth. Moaning softly, you brought your hands up to cup Siriusâs face, pushing your body even deeper into his. âOh my!â You pulled away from Sirius harshly, stumbling away from him. âI mean, I knew you guys had something going on, but I didnât know it was going on.â You felt your face flush at Lilyâs words, and heard Sirius cry out from behind you âWhy didnât you tell us sheâs joining next year!?â James, from next to Lily, turned to face her, surprise overtaking his features. âI wanted to see how you guys got along before telling anyone!â
Remus approached the four of you, tipsily mumbling âMarlene has a roster of like three girls right now, and I just overheard some guy saying he wants to jump in the lake. I didnât know there was a lake.â Remus stood silently, finally taking in the scene in front of him.
âIâm sorry, did I miss something?â
