Jason nodded and took his two long drinks. " Well I think that your card your question. Roxy When haven't I saved more than half of my dances for you. But I wouldn't want your date to feel lonely this dance. I know that unless the guy was family I would kill the guy. For you are much to beautiful for any guy to back off and let another step in. I wouldn't want to upset your date so how about when you are free from those slow dances with um....Bixby? But I can assure you you will have a dance no matter what."

He smiled a bit but wouldn't meet her eyes to long. He waited a moment and watched he walk off. How he wish that he could just hold on to her and tell her what ever was on her mind that it would be okay. He saw the necklace and smiled a bit he didn't think that she would wear it. " Ms. Roxy you haven't asked your question yet. There for it is really still your turn. But I see you look troubled and don't say you aren't because your eyes say different."

He put his drink down and got up quietly. He walked up behind her and stood there for a moment. Then he put his hand on her shoulder not daring to touch her waist for the fear he'd go right in and kiss her. He looked her in the eyes with a soft smile he rubbed her shoulders " I am glad that I am more than just a friend to you Roxy. Now I thought you would have taken that off by now. But then again how could I expect you to leave it when I neither take the one you gave me off either. " He smiled taking the necklace she had given him out from under his own shirt. " Roxy you are the only girl I have ever worn anything for. I am pretty sure you will be the only person who i will wear anything for that means something to me." He smiled.

Without thinking Jason pulled her into a hug. Not their normal I care a lot about you hug. But one that he hadn't done before. Not even to the girls that he had gone out with. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. He didn't let go of her for what seemed like forever. But once he realized how they were. He still didn't let go but knew it probably was a little weird for Roxy. So he let go of her and let her body drift away from his own. He let out a small sigh and looked up at her he grabbed her hand and brought her back over to the bed.

He sat her down and he sat across from her. "Well what is your um question for me anything anything you want to ask." He looked down and smirked at her a bit. He leaned down and rummaged through his bag. Once he found it he smiled and leaned up he leaned forward. Then he placed the hat on her head. "Every time you wear that you look more and more amazing. One day I should just give you that hat it works for you. Very much actually more and more you look amazing you don't even have to try.

[adge]

Roxy smiled as Jason voiced his concern over Romeo getting jealouse, "Well if any guy ever got jealouse and told me I couldn't hang out with, or dance with, my friends than he wouldn't be the right guy for me, now would he?" she asked cocking an eyebrow. Biting her lip slightly she tried desperately to think up another question besides the one she really wanted to ask, if he liked her.

As he rubbed her shoulders she closed her eyes slightly, relishing the feeling of his hands against her skin. Opening them again she smiled as he said she would be the only girl her would wear a necklace for, "Well I should hope so mr. Pettigrew, as I highly doubt, short of an engagement ring, there would be any other peice of jewelry I would wear longer than a year, especially from a guy.".

When he pulled her into the hug it took her breathe away, she'd never been hugged like that. Covering his hands with her own she leaned her head back slightly against his shoulder. She felt like she could stay like that forever, and she didn't want him to let go. But when he inevitably did she took a deep breathe to stabalize herself, and got a wiff of his cologne. Now that was one of Roxy's weaknesses, guys cologne. And damn did Jason's smell good. In a slight daze she let him lead her back to the bed.

Sitting down she again tried to think up a question. Comming up with an idea she grinned evily, "Now we have to be completely honest with these answers Jas! My question is; does our dear friend mr. James Potter like Kat Finnigan?" she asked. She'd been wondering lately if James indeed did have a crush on the Quidtich playing Hufflepuff. Giggling she adjusted the hat he had just put on her head. It was true he should just give it to her, because she usually stole it atleast once a week. Smiling widely at him she had to admit he was commin gout with alot of compliments tonight, "Well you know I wouldn't complain about that at all. And I have indeed tried to get it from you by buying you other hats in an attempt to make you get tired of this one.". Taking another swig of her firewhiskey she had to admit it was starting to get to her, that's what not eating all day wuold do to you.

[truthholdsnone]

Jason smiled at her question he hated when he had given his word not to tell about anything. He thought about it and smiled slightly Looked at her his eyes almost getting lost n her deep brown. " Roxy if you ask me I would have to say I really think he does have a crush on Kat. But I honestly don't know as of right now. Though the last time we were all together talking we got onto the subject of who we could see the other with for the rest of their lives." He shrugged he really didn't know for sure although to the whole school James was a love sick guy.


He looked at Roxy smiled more and looked down. He grabbed a card and read out loud " I have a 5 Roxy Five for you. Drink up! My question now." He looked around the room and smiled as he had no question that he could ask her that didn't give away that he liked her. He looked out the window and got up he walked over to it. He looked across at setting sun. He made it look like he was thinking up a question. He wanted to just ask if she really liked the bixby guy. He looked around and played with his card.

" Okay I got one. Now like you said you have to be honest. Would you have asked that other guy you Fancy when you were mumbling to the dance if you had known he was free?" His smile dimmed as it hurt him a lot to know that the one girl he had literly fallen for liked other guys. He smiled and held his card to his face and blew a small form of fire took the card to lay atop of hers.

He turned around to hide his eyes from her he said quietly " You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I under stand if you don't want to talk about it. You know I just want you to be with the guy will treat you the way you deserve. Or else I just have to kick the guys ass. Like you last boyfriend who was a jerk"

He Shielded his eyes one more time and looked her in the eyes he summoned his cup to his hand and sipped his drink and put it down again and waited for her to talk to him again.

[adge]

Roxy had to smile when Jason tried to skirt her question, he had answered her but she knew he knew more than he was letting on. She would let it stay where it was for now, although she now had amo for future questions because his comment on who they could see each other ending up with had made her curiouse. She bit her lip as he assigned 5 drinks to her, looking at her glass she figured that 5 would pretty muh be everything that was left in her glass, taking 5 drinks as she listened to her question she almost choked on the last one as he asked his question.

Looking over at where he was standing she sighed to herself, hiccuping slightly from the 5 shots she thought how she was gonna answer this. Jason seemed really upset about something and she wasn't sure what, "Jas when have I ever been able to not answer you? Yes I would have asked the other guy, in a heartbeat. And trust me you wouldn't have been able to kick his ass. Unlike the last guy, who was an ass and I am eternally gratefull to you for making me realize that." she told him. Her last boyfriend had been a real jerk, he'd pretty much tried to control her and keep her from her friends, and had just been an all around ass to her. Luckilly Jason, Sirius, Remus and James had straightened him, and Roxy, out.

Picking up another card Roxy felt herself smile, "Oh Jason! You sir, must consume 8 drinks!" she told him flashing the 8 of hearts at him. "And since you set me up perfectly, who, prey tell, did you guys say each of the marauders would end up with?" she asked him smiling wickedly, waiting for him to come back and sit on the bed. Reaching over she grabbed another sandwhiche from the bag he'd brought and poured herself some more firewhiskey.

[truthholdsnone]

Jason smiled at Roxy and nodded. He looked at his cup and downed over half of his glass. Counting quietly in his head until he got to 8. He could definitely feel the effects and was afraid to get to close to Roxy. He did though and sat opposite of her as far as he could get without making it obvious. He looked into her eyes and stuck out his tongue. He knew he shouldn't have told her that. " There you are Ms. 8 shots. You have an evil little streak in you Ms. Weasly. Many guys probably find you very attractive for it. "

He smiled and nodded. " Well for James we said Kat. They both have passion and are stubborn make for a very interesting relationship for both of them. Remus though he is the player we all know and love said that Evie Thomas would be very good for him. She will put him in line. My Sirius we weren't sure but decided a bad girl would be down his ally." Jason smiled a bit remembering the conversation. But his smiled dimmed as he realized he hadn't told her whom they had said for him.

He looked down and played with his glass. " As for me the three guys told me that they could see me spending the rest of my life with a very well known mastermind and my best friend that isn't the guys. They said that YOU and me would spend our days together...." He looked down and wasn't smiling anymore. He was trying to find a way to fix the mood. He shook his head.

He looked back with some hurt in his eyes and looked at her. " But yea so that's what we all came up with. I do believe that I'm up to make you drink aren't I. It you want I will tell those guys to stop pairing you off to just anyone. I know you don't like when people talk about you when you aren't there. But if it helps I threatened to call you into that conversation and have you pick what people would be matched up with who." He gave he a small smile.

He went into the deck and smiled " You just can't catch a break tonight Ms. Weasley I just drew the 9 of spades. Drinkey drinkey Ms. Roxy. My question for you is... Who do you match off all five of us off with? James, Remus, Sirius, Your beautiful Self, and Me?" HE smiled and waited to hear her opinion on that matter. While a big part of him hoped that she thought him and her could have a chance.

He shook it off as a bigger part of him told himself that she would say some other guy like Bixby. He sighed and took the bottle from Roxy and filled his glass again. With a smiled he leaned back on his arms waiting to hear Roxy's words.

[adge]

Roxy cackeled evily and rubbed her hands together, "Oh you have no idea how evil I can be!" she told him with a gleam in her eyes. As Jason started listing off the pairings the guys had come up with Roxy nodded her head in agreement, they definately all made sense. As he got to himself she noticed that he seemed a little uncomfortable. Since he had his head down she had to strain who they'd decided on for him. As he started discribing the lucky girl Roxy allowed a small part of her to become hopeful, she knew they considered her a mastermind and as Jason's other best friend. When he actually said that they had matched Jason with HER she felt her mouth drop. Her brain went into a paralyzed state as she felt herself smile.

As he sudenly switched around and gave her a small smile as he reached for a card Roxy could feel her smile slip, perhaps he hadn't agreed with their decision. Nodding she took her alloted 9 drinks, having to refil her glass half way through. As the liquid hit her stomache it kickstarted her brain again, smiling a bit at him she put her hand under her chin as if she was thinking hard. "Well, I must say I agree completely on all fronts, with a small change," she said taking a pause and taking a sip form her glass, "I would specify that I think dear Sirius will end up with a girl whose not just bad, but almost evil. I've always thought that ms. Alana Lestrange had a very big interest in him, even though she tries to hide it." she finished. "But I wouldn't change any of the other three." she added a bit quieter.

Looking down she felt her cheeks burn, she couldn't believe she'd just told him she thought they'd end up together! Quickly trying to move on she picked up a card, "Damn I got a 6, that means 3 for me and 3 for you." she tol dhim taking her three drinks, and quite a bit more.

[truthholdsnone]

Jason couldn't help but smile he was happy with her answer and surprised she didn't want to change anything. He looked up at her with a real smile like he had when he was with her. " I'm glad you wouldn't change anything Roxy cause I wouldn't either I thought every match was perfect for the person. I think that it's right." He took his drinks and noticed Roxy blushing red.

He reached out Lifted Roxy's chin gently. " Are you blushing cause you didn't say our match was bad? Cause um I don't think it is a bad thing either..." He stopped and looked down he took more three drinks and lowered his hand. HE looked up with his blue eyes and looked into her's " So um your turn it's still your question...."

He looked at her a waited quietly. As he waited he mentaly started hitting himself. HE just basically told her that he has fallen for her and could and wanted to seem them toghter. He closed his eyes and just hoped that he didn't just make their night and friendship weird now. He just looked around and went and grabbed another cookie.

He thought he should lighten the mood a bit and smirked. " Hey Roxy did you check what I put on YOUR hat??" he laughed a bit as he had just given the hat to her and on the back it said Evil Mastermind. He always called her that and wasn't about to stop. Though he had to fight himself not to hug her again or anything.

He looked up at her as she started to speak.

OCC: Sorry bad post.

[adge]

Roxy felt a little light headed after her latest drink, and she was sure she'd have a killer hangover in the morning. As Jason reached out and lifted her chin up she was forced to look him straight in the eyes, as she did she saw something in them she hadn't really seen before, or she'd been to blind to. Letting herself smile slightly she relished in the feel of them being this close. All she could do in answer to his question was nodd her head in agreement, and as he said he didn't think them being matched was bad she felt her smile widden.

Before she could say anything he'd dropped his hand away and reminded her it was still her question. Still not entirely clear on one subject she finished off her glass and got up, rather shakily, to get the other bottle. When she sat back down she took a deep breathe and decided to just out and ask Jason what she wanted to know, "Jas... was the girl you waited to long for... was... was she.. well me?" she asked rather shyly. Judging from how drunk they both seemed neither of them would remember this conversation in the morning anyways.

As she waited for his answer she cracked the new bottle and filled her glass, taking her hat off as she did she read the back of it. Evil Mastermind. Smirking she looked back at Jason, "How fitting. Now no one will be able to steal this from me! It only works for me!" she said triumphantly setting it back on her head. Thinking for a second she had to admit to herself she wasn't sure how she wanted Jason to answer her question, if he said yes it was her she would be ecstatic, but would also feel terrible for Romeo. Taking another drink and a big breathe she figured she'd have to tackle that question once she heard how Jason answered.

[truthholdsnone]

Jason looked at her and wanted to lean in for a soft kiss but he wouldn't dare start something if she was already set up to go out with another. That wasn't fair to her in anyway shape or form. He looked away from her as she sat back down he refilled his drink but almost split it as he was beginning to feel the effects of the liquid as well. He listened to her question and his heart sank.

Jason wanted to smack himself and hope for another question. But he put his drink to his lips and took a very long swig. He finished his drink and thought to himself. ' Well you can tell her with how drunk you both are it's likely none will remember in the morning.' Jason agreed with that statement and sighed. He really didn't want to put Roxy in a situation where it was awkward to be around him or to have to choose.

He nodded his head some and said. " Roxy I don wanna make you have to choose between anyone or hurt because its hard. Or feel weird with our friendship. But yes the girl I waited to long for and lost was you. You were the girl that I would and will wait for no matter what. I just want you to be happy." He looked down now and refilled his drink.

HE let his hair fall into his eyes and added, " I know you probably don't like me back at all but I want you to know that I am always here to be your friend no matter what Roxy. You mean a lot to me and I will do anything to make you happy....I don't want to loose your friendship Roxy so I will support you no matter what. You know that." HE looked away and drank a little more then before and looked around.

Trying not to show his eyes to Roxy. Knowing that she would read him like a book and see that everything that he was saying was true he really have fallen for her more than he even knew and was afraid that it would scare her. He wasn't too keen on moving to fast about the situation. Epically since there wasn't just his and Roxy's emotions involved but the guy that Roxy was going out.

Though Jason had developed a small anger toward the guy. He wasn't one to toy with another's emotions. So he waited for Roxy to say something anything just to say that she had heard what he said. What she was thinking and wouldn't just break off and ignore him for time to come. He looked over as she started to speak.

[adge]

Roxy looked closely at Jason as poored himself another drink, almost spilling half of it. Drinking down more of hers she sat apprehensively as she waited for him to answer. The waite seemed like an eternity to her and she began to get scared and wish she could take her question back.

As Jason explained that yes she was the girl he'd waited for she couldn't help but feel extremely happy. She'd liked Jason so long that it was crazy to her that he actually liked her back. She stared at him hard, "Jas, you could never, never loose me." she told him making sure to convey just how seriouse she was about that comment. Reaching forwad she put her hand on the side of his face, turning him so that he faced her, "And you couldn't be more wrong," she told him running her other hand through her hair, "Dammit Jas, I've liked you since the day I met you! You've always been the only one I ever wanted, and knew I could never have. I just never knew how to tell you," she told him trailing off and letting her hand fall away.

Staring into his eyes she could feel tears form in the corner of her eyes, blinking them away angrily she just barely stopped herself from leaning forawrds and kissing him. As it was she found herselfleaning in towards him a bit, and still staring into his eyes. She couldn't tear her deep brown ones from his bright blue as hard as she tried.

A small part of Roxy was telling her that this was all going to come crashing down around her, that she would hurt Romeo and possibly ruin her friendship with her best friend. But everything else in her was telling her that this was how it should be, how it had to be.

[truthholdsnone]

Jason looked down and felt stupid about telling Roxy how he actually felt about her. He was very drunk. He was somehow still able to comprehend everything she was saying. He felt her hand on his face and he watched to feel her touch more than just now. He met her eyes and couldn't help but be memorized by them. He could tell that she was serious and was about to nod.

He looked at her and his blue eyes grew wide and a small hopefully smile spread across his face. But it dropped with her hand. He felt like he had just been able to fly without a broom. He wanted to kiss her now. He looked over at her and saw she had leaned closer to him. He hadn't noticed that he was starting to lean closer to her as well. But he hadn't stopped himself.

He watched her run her hand through her hair and knew she was frustrated but at the same time happy. He couldn't help but feel like they were in a mess a small part of him was afraid to do anything but admit that he really had fallen for her. But a bigger part of him told himself to take Kat's advice and just sweep her off her own two feet.

He looked at her and said. " Roxy I'm so glad that I wont loose you. Your one of my best friends. I know your feeling cause I have felt the same way. I have liked you since the day we met. On that annoying train that I thought was going to be the worst experience in my life cause I have always hated trains. But than we had fun and you made it fly by like nobodies business. I was and always have been afraid that you wouldn't like me back and that you just wanted to be friends. I have always wanted you too Roxy. But felt that I couldn't ever have either. But I just couldn't keep it to myself any longer I like you A LOT Roxy. I just didn't know how to tell you that without freaking you out. But yeah. "

He had now just realized that he was getting really close to Roxy and wasn't sure that she wanted him near her. He stopped moving closer to her and just stayed in the spot her was which was close her could almost feel her breath. But he wasn't going to push anything. He had kept eye contact with her the entire time. He caught himself before he kissed her and started to slowly retreat from being so close hoping that she would stop him but knowing that she might not. But he would settle for a hug from her later if that's all they would allow. Now everything seemed to be a better way of being jumbled around. Though he knew that she liked him somewhat now. He just wished he'd be able to remember that in the morning.

[adge]

Roxy was just about ready to get up off of the bed and walk away from Jason in embarasment. She had no idea why she had just told him how she felt, it had just kind of finally slipt out. She still wasn't completely convinced this wasn't another dream, but Jason's face had felt so real and warm under her hand that there was no way it couldn't be. She was starting to feel extremely drunk and was sillently praying to God that she would remember everything tomorow.

She couldn't help but smile with the memory of that first train ride, she'd been told to stay close to her brother and big cousins, but had wandered off like always and had found Jason sitting alone in a compartment looking scared to death. She'd know from that moment he would be a huge part of her life, it was just a sort of feeling, a knowing that they would mean alot to each other. But ever since then she'd tried to resign herself to the fact that it would just be as best friends. But listening to him now she knew that there was a chance that maybe it could be as something more

Realizing just how close they where now as she nodded along to what he was saying she tried to figure out if she should kiss him. She wanted to, there was no denying that, but if she did she didn't know where it would lead. She didn't want to ruin any chance of starting a relationship, and she definately did not wanna make the situation with Romeo any more complicated.

"Well we're idiots, we've both liked each other forever, but done nothing about it. Seems to be typical us." she said laughing softly. She didn't want to initiate anything, as she was the one who had a date the next day. So she figured she would let Jason make the decision if he wanted to kiss her or not, but she didn't m move any farther away from him. Reaching out she covered his hand with her own.

[truthholdsnone]

He couldn't help but look into her eyes and laugh a little at her comment. He had to agree it was typical them having secret feelings. But never speaking anything of it. He felt her hand and gently took his thumb and softly caressed her hand. He started to lean closer to her. He wanted so badly not to put her in a situation that she didn't want to be in but he couldn't help anything he wanted so bad to kiss her and let that tell her everything. " Roxy I think that is just who we are just complicated that way we care so much. "

He smiled and took his other hand and slowly pulled her too him. And with that he softly kissed her lips. Every second being something he hadn't ever felt before. But it scared him a bit. After what seemed like a never-ending kiss he realized what he was doing and pulled away. Mentally slapping him over and over and over again. She had a DATE. She was taken he couldn't have her.

His blue eyes big. He was about to apologize but he realized he wasn't at all sorry. Every fun time he had ever had with her ran through his mind as if their entire past was begin reliven and he was able to watch it. To the amazement of her beauty every year seeing her on the train to every drink they ever had. To every time they had late night talks in front of the fire and fell asleep together.

To the time they were known forever as the couple that was never together. To the wired pictures that covered his trunk of him and her just being their weird selves. He smiled softly and looked at Roxy with his big blue eyes that showed he was not sorry about kissing her. He lowered his hand and tried not to say something stupid now.

[adge]

Roxy couldn't help but feel comforted when Jason began rubbing his thumb over her hand. Everything that was happening now seemed so right that Roxy almost couldn't believe it was still so complicated. She was going to the dance with Romeo, and it was suposed to be a date. But that didn't mena by any stretch that she was his girlfriend, not as far as she was concerned. She'd just have to tell Romeo after the dance that she didn't tihnk it would work out between them, and that she just wanted to stay friends, it was as simple as that.

As she came to this conclusion she felt Jason put his other hand behind her head and pull her towards him, looking up into his eyes she let him pull her in. As he kissed her she felt tingles sweep all up her body. She had momentarily been shocked by the kiss, and just as se began to kiss him back he pulled away. For a moment she thought he was about to appologize to her, but then he got a steely look in his eyes, almost as if he didn't feel sorry for anything that had happend.

Biting her lip Roxy only had a split seconds doubt about what she did after, grabbing the front of Jason's shirt she pulled him back to her and kissed him. She tried to put everything she'd ever felt for him into the kiss. And she held onto him like she never wanted to let go. As she kissed him for what felt like forever a million thoughts went blowing through her mind, every feeling she'd ever had while being around him came crashing down on her at once. It was almost overwhelming, and she was glad she was sitting or she probably would have swooned.

Finally she broke the kiss, pulling away slowly she only moved back enough to look into his eyes. Breathing hard she shyly smiled up at him. Tilting her head down a bit so she wasn't looking dirrectly into his eyes she whispered, "Well, I should have done that a long time ago."

[truthholdsnone]

Jason smiled and didn't have a ton of time to think about anything. He looked down and smiled as he felt her hand tight on his shirt. Then again her lips against him. He felt everything he had felt and put everything he had ever felt about her into that kiss as well. HE was going to place his arms around her waist but didn't want to scare her. He leaned his arms on either side of her and held her and him up as they kissed. But after what seemed like hours she broke the kiss. He looked into her eyes and listened to her as she tilted her head back.

He couldn't help but laugh a little. He nodded his head a bit and agreed. " Honestly Roxy I think we both should have sucked it up and told each other from day one. Could have had many more of those surprising kisses that you give."

He smiled a little more at her but didn't move from how they were. He wanted to stay close to her and be able to comfort her always.

He felt to cold wind and looked down. He leaned back and took off his sweatshirt. He leaned back to her and said. " Come here Miss. Roxy your freezing we both know it. Probably tired and drunk as hell after all these confessions. But don't forget about it." He said wrapping his sweatshirt around her. He moved closer to her and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. " We are two very weird people you know this right?"

Jason laughed a little and picked her up bridal style. HE smiled and said. " Looks like your up now." He smiled and walked around with her a while when he brought her to her bed and laid her there. He took his wand out and waved it making it all disappear. He took off his shirt and sat on his bed he got his plotting face on and through his shirt at her and said. " I told you I’d get you back."
