James didn't answer her immediately, but instead kept his eyes on her body. He didn't try to hide it. In fact, he wanted her to know that he was looking, h wanted her to know he was more than appreciating the view.
He still had his hands on either side of her and, after taking a minute to let his eyes trail over her body, he let the fingers of one hand drift over her, starting at her knee, up the outside of her thigh, over her waist... he didn't go any higher than that and instead let his hand drop. Even then, his eye continued a slow crawl upwards, pausing on her lips which he wanted nothing more than to lean in and kiss.
Finally, his eyes locked to her and he held her gaze before answering. "They're not you."

“I know he was feeling bad, I never said you had to seduce him. That was something you did on your own. I still thank you for doing this, even if it's against your inner nature. I never said you were completely turned off to women, but men turn you on too. I know, but the Metamorphagus secret is something that makes you unique. I mean I wish I had something like that too. Something that made me different. You may not want to snog him but you do want to snog Black. Why would I want to snog James? That’s out of the question. Okay so you admit you like Black. Well it’s about bloody time!” She thought to her best friend as she gave a smile from within the closet. Her wand at her side she was waiting for whatever was going to happen next. She wondered if now was the time to switch places. He was cute she had to admit that to herself. But not enough to go further than that.
She wanted to be there, to at least figure him out like this. She really thought she was getting to knew James now. Even though he was talking to Ferret and not her. She would have to change that eventually.
The idea of having a civil conversation with him was still new to her but she liked the concept. There were things she would have to explore on her own, when the time came for it. She just didn’t want history to keep repeating itself. She had no problem with Remus, but the other three she didn’t understand, not that she really had tried. She spoke once in a while with both Pettigrew and Black, but she couldn’t say she was anything more than acquaintance with either one of them.
The world they lived in was dangerous and that was why she hadn’t pushed the issue of dating anyone. There were a few muggles she could have considered were worthy of being close to her. However none had been close to her to date, not even Severus. She had always believed it was better not to date someone she considered to be a good friend like Severus for example because if the relationship didn’t work right, it would leave the two of them in an awkward situation. And she didn’t know Potter at all, so dating was out of the question when everything she’d seen pointed him out to be a bad guy. Although listening to what she had, she was beginning to see that there was some good in him too. Which only confused her even more than she had already been when this whole thing had started. She had to stick to her principals...her beliefs no matter how complicated it was.
She watched as James ran his hands over Ferrret’s body starting from the knee to the outside of her thigh and over her waist, though he did not move any higher than that. If it had been her she’d not have gone to the lengths that Ferret had gone to. It was against her nature. Although right now she felt so guilty for all of it, for judging him before ever really knowing him. She’d have to apologize for that at a later date, whenever things returned to normal, between the two of them. She did like the answer he had provided when he had said they weren’t her. Time would tell what their future held.

Ferret found herself blushing. Both at James's words and Lily's. She had no idea she had shown signs of liking Black. It would have been nice if Lily had mentioned it but she pushed the thought out of her mind. Right now was about getting information. That was all...
But Ferret smiled and shrugged her shoulders slightly. Her uniform shirt slid from her shoulders, down her arms and onto the desk. Her mind was foggy as she smiled warmly at James.
She was convinced he was related to a Veela or was an incubus.
"And what is so special about me?" she asked, her voice a soft whisper.

James watched as her shirt fell from her shoulders and pooled on the desk. She was only in her bra now and he had to say, she looked damn good. Why did she always keep herself so hidden away beneath her clothes? She was gorgeous. She needed to show off her figure more...
James reached out and ran his hand from her shoulder, down her arm, right to her wrist, the material of her shirt no longer in his way. He wanted to touch more of her but he didn't dare push things too far. There'd be time for that when he found out exactly where this game was going. He kept his eyes locked on where his hands had just trailed, taking in her smooth skin. "What's not special about you more like..."

Ferret felt herself shiver as James touched her. Normally she would scold him, lap his hand away, hell, toss him out the window like she threatened to. But her mind was so foggy from his compliments and his words, even if she knew they were not for her. But that didn't matter much right now.
"L-Like what?" she whispered, finding herself stuttering despite herself.
'Lily, his reward is a lip kiss, he god well deserve it. Why haven't you given him a chance again? He obviously seems to care about you. Hell, you should be up here doing this not me!'

He liked watching her blush. And he liked being the one who made her blush. He much preferred to see her cheeks colored in a blush than he did seeing them bright red in anger like when she was finding another reason to yell and berate him. He still had no idea what had caused this sudden change around but it was nice to see a different side of her.
"What do you want me to say? Just repeat all the things i like about you again? Would that cover the basics?"
James grinned, letting his fingers run lightly over the back of her hand, teasing her finger tips.

From the closet, she had blushed as though James had said the words to her and not to Ferret. Ferret had shown signs of liking Black but it wasn’t overly obvious. One would have to be incredibly perceptive to see it.
As if today’s agenda wasn’t insane enough, Ferret had slid her uniform shirt off of her, allowing James to get a full view of everything there was to offer as Ferret had once said. When Ferret had asked what is so special about me, to James, her heart skipped a beat.
Why did she want to know what he thought of her so badly? To see her figure be in front of James in only a bra was new to her, though she knew she had to do something. She couldn’t keep letting this play out, with Ferret and James, as it was wrong on so many levels. Especially because Ferret wasn’t attracted to Potter at least she didn’t think so. She wished she knew what he was thinking but her spell didn’t apply to him unfortunately. "What's not special about you more like..." His words echoed in her mind. This was so completely against the rules it wasn’t even funny. Though honestly if it weren’t for the fact she wanted answers she would never have suggested that Ferret even attempt something this risky. She’d have stuttered herself if it had been her in this situation which in a way, it was.
“It’s....a little complicated, Ferret. I know he cares, at least now I do. And I know I should be the one dealing with all this, but it scares me. I mean it really does.” She thought as she looked at the two of them. The two of them seemed cozy. But as cozy as this situation was, she was petrified of allowing herself to feel something for him for anyone....right now. She knew she had to get Ferret out of there somehow but she wasn’t sure where to even start with that. She had to let Ferret make the call on this one.

Ferret smiled and bit her lip. Oh, she was enjoying this way too much. She would be telling Lily to hex the guy. 'Lily, if I get down to my knickers, stun him!' she mentally screamed. She bit her lip, feeling a pleasant shiver wherever his fingers lingered. He had to be an incubus. But that was beside the point at the moment. "Go advanced..." she whispered, her voice a soft purr. She adjusted herself to press her chest out slightly, just to give him a better view. "For extra credit..."((OOC: SOrry so short ;~  ) |

James grinned and didn't miss the small movement she made and the result of it. He also managed to keep his eyes locked on hers and not look down. "And what do I get in reward for doing all this... extra credit work?" He let his voice drop to a lower tone as he said it so that it sounded a little more seductive, and he spoke the words slower, more emphasis on the important ones. He was sure the look on his face matched how he sounded as he leaned in a little closer to her.

She knew she had to get Ferret out of there but she wasn't sure how. She liked hearing this side of him though. But the question was how? She couldn't exactly feel comfortable taking the other girl's place. It was one thing to see it from the perspective she was seeing it from. It was another to actually do it herself. She could hear Ferret saying to stun him if she got down to her knickers. "Well just make sure you don't get down to your knickers. Just be grateful the toe-rag hasn't tried anything more than that, like taking off his own clothes for example. Then you might end up in a situation that'd really boggle the mind. I know it would, and I'm not the one that it's happening to." She didn't want to end up hurting herself or him, for that matter. And it was hard to think that she had put Ferret in this position as she never anticipated that it would have gone to the point where it was at now.
She knew she couldn't rewind time and make it for none of this to happen, as it was out of the question. Truth was she liked what she was seeing from James' side, as he honestly he was being a gentleman, which was odd for the Gryffindor as from what she had always seen, he had been anything but a gentleman. To see a different side of him altogether was a good thing. Though it didn't mean she wanted to date him or anything else for that matter. She was only 15 years old and she was not in the least bit in a rush to go into the dating scene. Life goes on and with what she had seen and heard, she was going to fight for what she had believed in. She was willing to bend the rules this time around, and was going to become a stronger woman because of it. If James wanted to get to her, he was going to have to start by being a friend first and then let destiny go from there. Rushing would get the man no where. "Honestly, Ferret I can't even think about it. The idea of....him and I together is a nightmare. I mean this is the guy that has constantly ridiculed my best friend, I can't....I can't even picture us as a couple. The idea is that absurd! It'd be like me and Severus as a couple, and that is just as absurd, though Potter and I, that concept is far beyond unheard of." She thought to her friend as she hated to think of Ferret being in a situation that would threaten the very fabric of who she was, but was grateful for the girl for putting herself out there like that. She just hoped in the end Ferret wouldn't be messed up because of it.

Ferret found herself blushing. Blushing! Something was seriously wrong. This whole situation was seriously wrong! But she smiled and batted her eyelashes.
'Lil, if this goes further, you will date Potter whether you like it or not!'
She bit her lip gently, as though thinking. Then she smiled again. "Kisses. One on the lips and on in a spot of your choice."
Merlin's beard she was going to regret this, she knew it. Then again, it was kindof fun to have this much power over a person. Maybe she could me a career out of it.

A slow smile spread across his face as Lily answered, and James leaned in to whisper in her ear. "How about I trade in that second kiss for the removal of a piece of clothing..?" He moved back just a fraction and made a show of looking over her body again, enjoying the view as much as anything else. His eyes moved slowly down her body and then back up again, before he moved back close to her ear. The next words were hardly more than a breath of sound but he knew she could hear him clearly. "My choice."

She sighed as she took a deep breath, her hand covering her mouth so she wouldn’t be heard. With everything that was going on she didn’t really want to hex James just yet. “I am not dating Potter. End of Discussion!”
She thought to her best friend as she looked at her through the hole in the closet. This was really starting to become a complicated situation and fast. And she wouldn’t stun the poor boy until she was sure it was the right time. However time was going to play a big role in what happened next. Could she consider dating him? Sure he seemed to be an a decent guy, but why was he being so straightforward with Ferret when he never could be with her?
Is it because she wasn’t so willing to give the man what he wanted when Ferret clearly was? “Trust me, Ferret, he wouldn’t have gotten me down to where he’s gotten you, remember that. Besides who said I was interested in dating anyone at this particular time? I’ve stayed single for a reason, remember? It doesn’t matter what he wants, the choice is mind. I’ve made up my mind. As facinating as finding all of this information is, have you forgotten I’m not like you. He’ll most likely think I’m some kind of drunk, or even possibly on drugs, or maybe even under the Imperio curse when we next cross paths.” She had to remind her friend of that.
Of course on some level she wanted to figure out if there was something between them and she just didn’t have the strength to do it herself. It wasn’t that Potter wasn’t attractive, as he was on some deep level, one she hadn’t let herself think of rationally. Truth was she didn’t trust herself when she was alone with him, and that was partly the reason she was as cold with him as she had been. She couldn’t give the guy something that wasn’t hers to give.
It was like saying Severus was attractive, and that was just something she couldn’t think of either. Severus was a brother-figure in her life, for now at least. And yes she cared for him deeply. Potter was just an insufferable, arrogant toe-rag, someone who never grew up and yet was she truly feeling something for him? Impossible! Everything in her screamed at the notion that Ferret had said about her dating Potter at all, even for one date.
It sickened her. James Potter was a nuisance to society! He was an egotystical, pain in the arse! She wanted to hex him upon sight but for whatever reason could not bring herself to do so.

Inner Ferret sighed. She was getting a bit tired of Lily being so hard on James. Sure, she wasn't the guy's number one fan, but he was proving himself to be a great guy. And damn good with his hands too.
Ferret smiled at James, mentally noting that her blush might be permanent.
"Oh, negotiating. I usually don't allow that but...just this once..." her voice was all but a purr. Merlin's fat grey beard, she was going to need some serious therapy after this. A few months worth most like, just to find herself again.

James sent her a seductive grin, part of his mind still wondering exactly how this situation had come to pass. A few weeks ago - heck a few days!... A few hours, even, ago, he would not for a minute have expected to be in this situation, especially not after the way she'd been acting since that first time he'd kissed her outside of charms. And now this?
"So, it's a deal?"He waited for a confirmation that it was and still ended up just watching her for a further few seconds before responding, not sure if she was actually being serious or not. She seemed to be and she sounded it, but he still found it hard to believe that Lily Evans of all people would actually be doing this at all, let alone letting him choose an item of clothing for her to remove.
"Well... I like the way you blush when you get embarrassed." James reached out and brushed his fingers lightly over her cheek as he said it. "And the way you always push your hair back when you get flustered...and the way I can almost see what you're thinking in your eyes before you do it..." He grinned softly at her. "Do I need to keep going?"
