Remus

She has to be doing this on purpose, there is no way she is accidentally eating a grape with that much concentration and movement of her lips. She's being a right bloody tease, that's what she is. No one eats a grape with perfectly pouted wet lips, the aforementioned lips forming into a perfect O as the grape slides easily into her mouth. Her mouth sucking in and out as she slowly chews on the grape, glancing around the room with a laid back confidence about her.

Her eyes eventually land on me and she looks startled upon catching my eyes. I move to wave at her as a form of greeting but suddenly her face turns sour and her eyes water as she starts coughing loudly, her face turning bright red.

I jump up from the table and run over to her. "Ella, are you okay?" I ask as I stand next to her, not quite sure what to do, her friend Gwen sitting next to her looking non-pulsed.

"She chokes on her food a lot, just give her a minute and she'll get over it." Gwen said lazily as she flicked through her copy of Witch Weekly. I looked at Gwen in slight disgust, not sure how her friend was being so carefree about the situation. I looked back down at Ella whose coughing was more under control.

Ella looked at me and sucked in a breath, quickly saying, "I'll be okay." She fanned her face once her coughs had died and looked at me embarrassed.

"Are you alright now?"

Ella nodded, continuing to fan her face. "Yeah, just a bit hot now." She looked down embarrassed and turned away from me, from behind I could see her fiddling with the collar of her blouse. When she turned around her tie was loosened and the top two buttons of her shirt were undone. My breath hitched as I caught site of her collarbone, her milky white skin exposed and teasing. Brief images of her in her knickers and bra flashed in my head.

My fists clenched and unclenched as I tried to distract myself, I tried to think of anything but her boobs. "Oh," Ella exclaimed cheerily. "I almost forgot, I have something for you." She grabbed her bag from under the table and turned towards me. She bent over and started digging through her bag. She gathered her hair in one hand and swept it over her shoulder, giving me a nice full view down her shirt where I could see a hint of cream lace poking out from the top. All too soon she popped back up with a piece of parchment in her hand. "Here," she said offering me the piece of parchment. "I made a list of books, sorry it took so long but I wanted to make sure that every book on this list was nothing short of stellar. And I figured with the holidays coming up you'll have time to read the books."

I grabbed the piece of parchment from her hand and tried to formulate a proper response.

Okay Remus, concentrate. Think of anything but her boobs, anything but her breasts. Think of another word damnit besides, "chest." The word escaped my mouth before I had a chance to hold it in. I looked in horror at Ella who looked confused and embarrassed. "Your chest, I-I can almost see it. You're against school regulations, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to button up your top."

Ella's face flushed as she turned around and fixed her shirt. After she was done she glanced over her shoulder and mumbled a barely coherent, "thanks Remus." Before turning back around and picking at her food.

Bloody hell, what has gotten into me? Ever since the other night at the party images of Ella in her bra and knickers flooded my head more than once a day, more than I would care to admit in fact. The image of her taking off her sweatshirt, her arms raised above her head, her body stretching to it's fullest was implanted in my head. The site of her curvy body almost had be growling. She had a full figure, nothing like the stick-thin bodies. She had meat on her, things to grab onto. She wasn't fat but she wasn't skinny either, she was a perfect balance, a real woman's body. When she had run into me, her nearly naked body pressed up against mine, it took all my strength not to snog her senseless.

It must be because of the bet, it's got us all deprived of women and seeing girls in their knickers and bras sent us all over the edge. Although, I guess that's not all that's attractive about Ella. Her love for books was one of the first things I noticed and liked about her. She's incredibly shy but wears her emotions on her sleeves, not in the typical girl way where they cry about every little thing, but if something has actually really upset her you can tell. She doesn't go around complaining about it, you can just read on her face when she's lost in thought because something's upset her. She's also incredibly laid back, I've never seen her get mad at anything or anyone. She just seems to go with whatever is happening. I wonder why I've never noticed her before, how she's gone relatively unnoticed by me and my friends.

Merlin, I can't think this way about her, she fancies Sirius anyway and my plan is to get them to seal the deal so I won't lose the bet. Can't deviate from the plan, must concentrate on Ella's breasts. Damnit. I mean the plan.

A/N: Gah so I wanted this chapter to turn out better but itttttttttt didn't. I'm having a hard time getting back into the swing of writing and I'm trying to find the newest chapter of Thin Ice because I was halfway done with it before I left for basic military training but I can't find it. BLAST! Anyway, thank you to everyone who reviewed! I can't believe you all stuck around, you are all AMAZING. And the next chapter the plot line should be picking up again, these past 2 chapters have been developing chapters. Thanks again love you all!
