But it's B E T T E R if you d.o.

[Narcissa Black]

OOC: Open!

The young Slytherin had a free period now and frankly she could use a break from the blundering baboons that Hogwarts called Professors. Settling down her sling bag on the bench, Narcissa took off her school robe to reveal her school uniform. Tossing her robe over her bag, Narcissa sat down. She started rolling up her sleeves and unbuttoning several of her top buttons. She was under the shade of a tree but that didn’t seem to deter the sunlight from reaching her. Well, at least the afternoon sun wouldn’t scorch her if she were under the tree.

She had just come from Transfiguration where their homework was to hand in an essay next week. And Narcissa should be starting on it but she didn’t feel like doing so. Instead on her mind, she was thinking about Andromeda and this other guy. She knew she shouldn’t be thinking about them but they seemed to have something going on. If only she could catch them at it or something. Then she would have an upper hand. Fiddling with her bracelet, Cissa’s aqua coloured eyes looked at the people that were walking by.

[James Potter]

(I swear I nearly freaked out when I saw the title of this thread. Panic! fan I see?)

James was late to class as usual but he wouldn't let that stop him from taking his time even more. he liked how beautiful it was outside that day and couldn't help but feel that he was obligated to keep surroundings even better with him in it. He had been passing by a tree and admiring the sky when he saw a familiar face, one that he had hoped not to be all that familiar.

After all, she was a Black and one of the Blacks Sirius had told him to be on the look out for. Sure she was beautiful and he was almost tempted to flirt with her. Then he remembered Lily. Seeing as she was nowhere nearby there was really no point in making her jealous, now was there? He didn't even know if that strategy was working or not. It was worth a try.

[Narcissa Black]

Crossing her legs as a breeze came by, Narcissa flicked off the leaves that had fallen down on her head. She patted her head, trying to get her hair into place. Her hair was wavy today and there wasn’t much she could do with wavy hair. Well, blame it on the girls who took exceeded their regular bath time. She couldn’t very well be fixing her hair in lessons could she? And since she had gone half the day without doing anything to her hair, Cissa felt hard pressed to change her style.

As James Potter walked by with his usual swagger, Narcissa took note in the fact that if he had been placed in Slytherin, she wouldn’t have disliked him at all. Oh no, to her James was one of the more handsome males that seemed to roam Hogwarts. But then again, she was obliged to dislike anyone that was in Gryffindor. Now that didn’t leave her with many friends really. Of course she wasn’t going to admit that to anyone. It was quality over quantity for her.

OOC: Panic! fan yes. That caught your attention. =) Did ah, James just think of flirting with Cissa? Lol...

[James Potter]

(hehe he thinks about flirting with any thing feminine o.O but more so with Lilly. THere he actually bothers her)

James caught her eye and winked despite himself. She certainly was pretty and she was looking at him which meant of course that she had good taste. He'd give her that much. Though she wasn't really his type. His type had red hair and hated his guts. And he didn't know why. He wondered if he shuold bother her jsut in case Lily decided to go by and see the two together. It might even upset her enough to admit that she was indeed madly in love with him which he had known all along.

"Now, miss, don't you have any classes?"

[Narcissa Black]

Narcissa would have fallen off her seat if she hadn’t been sitting squarely in the middle of the bench. Did he just do what she thought he did? Lifting a perfect eyebrow slightly, Narcissa said nothing. Everyone and she meant everyone, from the first years to the seventh, knew that James Potter was only interested in one female. Basically everything that he did was to get her attention in some way. Narcissa seriously didn’t think that he would be that desperate to get Evans’ attention if he was winking at her. But of course, it was just a wink.

As he spoke, Cissa could have uttered a laugh. Seriously. “Don’t you have any classes, Mr Potter?” The blonde asked in return. She could have made a snide remark or two but she was rather interested to see where this conversation would lead to.

OOC: Lol. I shan't get my hopes too high then. But it is Jake Gyllenhaal after all...

[James Potter]

(*L* I don't blame you. He is quite a cutie it took me forever to figure someone out for James o.O)

"Of course I do." He shrugged carelessly and ruffled his hair again. "but I can afford to be late, you see. I paid off the teacher to let me slip in whenever I want to however I want to. Sooo I could stay here or anywhere as long as I want to as long as I show up for class sometime or another. He likes our bargain."

He teased. He wondered if she would take any of it seriously. If she did he would only keep playing along. Well...he'd be glad to oblige her insanity and make her think such things about him. Perhaps it would even impress Lily. He hoped so or else this whole conversation would be a complete waste of time.

[Narcissa Black]

“Oh I’m certain a Professor would have taken up your bribe…” Narcissa spoke, her voice implying otherwise. Dusting off some dust she found on her skirt, the blonde smiled slightly. “So, I’m guessing a certain female isn’t in that particular class you’re currently skipping to talk to me.” Cissa said, flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder.

Lily Evans. Narcissa wondered what he would reply if she asked why her. Oh well. She shouldn’t even be thinking of someone like Lily. People like her didn’t deserve her time. Potter over here was a pureblood after all. Misguided most likely. There wouldn’t be a chance of him ever coming back to his senses. Not with how he hung out with. Sirius. Oh, was he a bane to the highly regarded Blacks.

OOC: He's quite a popular choice for James, from what I've seen. *rushes off to do a report*

[James Potter]

(really? hmmm weird. this is my first mauraders rp actually)

James grinned, his teeth showing ever so slightly. "Oh you jest. If she were there, of course I'd be on time." He replied smartly as his eyes trailed to her exposed leg ever so quickly. Then he went back to her eyes without so much as a stumble. "And I can skip a class if I want to yuo know. Didn't I just explain this to you? And hmm I'll talk to anyone who talks back. Go on then, Cissa, what are YOU doing out here then? Tanning?"

[Narcissa Black]

“Yes yes. Naturally you would be there right on time trying to impress her. Of course, she doesn’t seem to… What’s the word? Appreciate your efforts.” Cissa said. She would have given a snort but figured that James would have had to deal with this daily from the ones he called his friends.

Narcissa arched a delicate eyebrow when she heard James call her by the shortened version of her name. She shook her head ever so slightly and looked at the young Gryffindor. “Tanning? Do I seriously look like I’m tanning?” The blonde spoke, her tone carrying a slight tone of disbelief. “I’m not actually appropriately dressed for tanning am I now?” Cissa spoke.

_{OOC: I adore mauraders era rps. ;D}
