Ch.6-Halloween pt.2

All of the girls were busy getting ready in their dorm, including Marlene McKinnon and Alice Fortescue. They shared the dorm with them but had barely hung out, talked briefly. Marlene was a blonde girl and very extroverted, she seemed to know everything about everyone at hogwarts. Alice had light brown hair and was fairly nice, Ivy believed she was dating a boy in the year above named Frank Longbottom.

Lily was going as a cute hippie. Wearing knee high white boots, and a mid thigh length pink and yellow long sleeve dress, along with a matching head band and pink sunglasses. Simple makeup just enough to make her eyes stand out.

Ophelia was going as a devil, wearing a matching red leather skirt and tube top, along with thigh high black boots and small devil horn headband. Sporting dark red lips and a Smokey eye.

Ivy didn't quite see what Alice was going as before she left the dorm but she was almost certain that Marlene was going as a black cat or maybe a mouse she wasn't white sure.

Ivy had decided to go as a flapper. Wearing black stilettos, a lacy black flapper dress that reached mid thigh, it showed a little more cleavage then she was used to but it was just a
costume after all. She wore about 5 long pearl necklaces, had her hair curled into an up do with a pearl headpiece, dark red lips, a bronze eye, and to complete the look she had gotten one of those long fancy housewife robes.

The three girls made their way down to the common room, where they were holding the party. The normal cozy warmth and security the room usually provided was turn down and replace with the feeling of euphoria.

The four marauders we standing adjacent from the girls stairs, when Peter nudged James making him shut up at turn his head, Remus following suit.

"What are you three looking at?" Sirius questioned before turning around turning around to look himself. Now Sirius Black had never been one to be speechless, but whatever Ivy Evans was doing to him did just that. Sure his sister and Lily looked nice as well, but not on the same lovesick way he was starring at Ivy. Her flapper dress hugged her body perfectly, showing off a bit more than she's used to, her hair was done up giving Sirius full access to few her neck- oh how he wanted to leave a mark on here, right then in there. He was willing to do anything in that moment to claim Ivy Evans.

Now Ivy couldn't help but notice Sirius from across. Now although she's yet to admit her feelings, she couldn't help the blush or smile that crept onto her face whenever she saw Sirius Black. It was somewhat ironic how both their costumes correlated, Ivy being a flapper and Sirius dressed as a 20's mobster, it was like the universe was pulling them together.

At this point Ophelia and Remus had already taken off to who know where. Lily had made her way over to Alice and Marlene, James with Peter following, to make a beeline to James "one true love".

Then there was Ivy who felt an urge to walkover to Sirius. Feeling some kind of new found confidence as she downed to shots of fire whiskey to her right before turning to walk to him. Sirius who's eyes hasn't left the redhead watched as she slammed back two shots and began to approach. "Dance with me fluffy?"

Sirius nodded grabbing Ivy's porcelain hand and making there way to what became a makeshift dance floor. The music was loud and pumped through Ivy's veins similar to how the alcohol coerced through her. At some point Ivy had lost her robe was just wearing the not-to-little-to-the-imagination dress. The lights we dim and the room was hot, but Ivy didn't pay attention to take, she paid attention to his touch. The way her back was pushed up against his chest, the way his left hand snaked around her waist resting on her hip bone, the way her head leaned back and rest upon his shoulder, or the way he held her in place as his laid gentle kisses and swipes of his tongue across her pulse.

There wasn't much said, it was more or less the mixture of alcohol and the confidence, to know they felt the same about it each other. Just when Sirius was about to turn Ivy's head to his, their first kiss, this was going to be it he thought. "Alright let's get a game going yeah?"

Remus called out suggesting they play never have I ever a muggle game Ivy, Lily and Remus knew of and had taught most of their friends. Sighing slightly Sirius dropped his head onto Ivy's shoulder, his hand still wrapped around her waist. "Moony and his blood timing"

Ivy giggle slightly as she heard Sirius mumble against her skin. That was it the feeling of him against her skin, it felt right, she felt safe, but she needed to be more drunk if she was going to continue with this confidence. "Maybe if you play nice you'll get a reward Fluffy"

Ivy laughed at Sirius's red beaten face, dragging him to where their friends plus a couple other Gryffindors a year or two older and a few Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws in the same year had formed a circle. Sirius took this opportunity before Ivy sat fully to pull her into his lap.

Remus, Ophelia, James, and Lily all shared knowing looks at their siblings / friends, no doubt in their minds this was about to happen sooner or later, and they find had enough liquor in their systems to drop their acts. Sirius for once wasn't being a complete playboy and was instead transfixed with the ginger haired beauty in his lap, while Ivy was fully letting her guard down and allowing her  desires to let her have this moment, this was hers, this was her win.

Not only was there progress made between the couple that night, but the group had succeeded in getting Lily Evans completely sloshed. Marlene and Alice ended up helping the older Okk Evans up to the dormitory, while Ivy and Ophelia caused other chaos.
