âDressed to Kill (Them)â - poly!marauders
Main masterlist || Navigation
Youâd promised yourself this was just going to be a quick change in front of the mirror. Try on the new dress youâd picked up in Hogsmeade, maybe laugh at how different it made you look, then shove it back into the bag before anyone noticed. But of course, nothing was ever that simple with the boys.
Sirius was the first to catch you. âMerlinâs sake, love,â he drawled from the doorframe, lips curling into that smug grin, âplanning to kill us all before dinner?â His eyes raked shamelessly over you, lingering far too long on the curve of your hips.
Before you could tell him to sod off, James bounded in behind him, hair messy from practice, face lighting up when he saw you. âBloody hell, you lookââ His voice cracked a little, and his ears went pink. ââyou look amazing, sweetheart.â
And then, inevitably, Remus. He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching you squirm under the combined attention. His mouth tugged into a slow, wicked smile. âI donât think she bought that for a trip to Hogsmeade,â he murmured. âNot with how short it is.â
Your face went red instantly. âI did, actually. This is just⌠casual.â
You tried to cross your arms, but that only made the neckline dip further. Sirius wolf-whistled, James muttered something about needing oxygen, and Remusâever the worstâstepped forward, tilting his head as if he were studying a particularly delicate piece of art. His fingers brushed the hem of the skirt, not quite lifting it, but close enough to make you squeak. âMm. The colorâs perfect,â he said, voice low. âBut I think it would look even better on the floor.â
James groaned, half laughing, half exasperated. âMoony, you canât just say things like thatââ
âWhy not?â Sirius grinned wolfishly, draping an arm around your shoulders. âSheâs ours, isnât she? And if she wants to walk around in something that short, I say let her. Just means everyone else gets jealous, and we get to bring her home.â
You swatted his chest, but the heat in your face gave you away. Remusâs smirk only deepened, and James, bless him, tried to be the responsible oneâexcept his hands wouldnât stop fidgeting at his sides, like he was fighting the urge to touch you.
Finally, you huffed, âIâm not showing you any more outfits. Youâre all insufferable.â
Sirius pressed a dramatic hand over his heart. âInsufferably in love, maybe.â
Remusâs eyes flicked down again, deliberate, and his voice dropped low enough to make you shiver. âAnd insufferably tempted.â
James buried his face in your shoulder with a muffled laugh, muttering, âMerlin help me, youâre going to be the death of us.â
