Love, Lies, Life...Sirius
CHAPTER ONE!
Emili Romaine stared out the window of her victorian mansion. She was sitting on her windowseat, and listening to one of her favorite bands, Fall Out Boy. She sighed, and slid down the wall, hugging a pillow to herself. She was extremely bored. Her friends hadn't written or spoken to her since after they had gotten off of the train two weeks ago.
Emili was witch that had just graduated from her sixth year of Hogwarts school Of Withcraft and Wizardry. Her best friends, Lily Evans, Skyler Clearwaters and Billie Morrison, were both on exotic, family vacations while Emili was stuck at home, doing nothing. They had promised that they would write but they hadn't yet. Emili sighed and stepped off of her windowseat. She turned the radio up almost as high as it would go and walked down the stairs. She danced herself into the kitchen, calling for her mom, dad, or even her brother. Her twin brother, Tanner, was considered one of the fifth maurauders. She wasn't complaining though. The maurauders had always been like her brothers. James lived next door to them so they had known eachother forever, Tanner was closest to Sirius though. Remus lived in Scotland, andSirius lived around the block but Emili never dared go to his house.
Nobody had answered her calls. Then Emili found the notes on the fridge. She sighed. Her parents were outon vacationatone place or another, and Tanner went over to pick up Sirius, so that they could hang out at James's house. Emili screamed in frustration, throwing them forcefully in the trash. Her own family didn't even care! She fixed herself something to eat and looked around the ginormous kitchen. Her kitchen was the same size as some people's houses. People always told Emili that they would love to live in a mansion like hers but Emili would have preffered a cozy cottage or something like that. It was foreboding in such a huge house all by herself. And lonely.
Emili toppled off of her bar stool in suprise as loud noises from the entryway startled her. Her brothermust behome. Emili quickly jumped to her feet and walked through the many hallways and turns until she reached the entryway were Tanner stood with Sirius Black.
Sirius smiled at his best friend's sister. No doubt that she was his best friend too though! She giggled and was just heard over her blaring music. Emili's family was all wizarding except for her dad so they had all muggle possessions.
"What no hug?" he asked, pretending to be upset. Emili's smile broadened and she ran into his arms, latching her legs around his waist. He held her petite frame until she bounced back down. Tanner smiled and took Sirius's bags, walking away. Emili got a confused look on her face.
"Why are you're bags here?"
"Are you that appalled that I'm gonna be staying with you?" Emili rolled her eyes and he put his arm around her shoulder. She slid her arm around his waist and they followed Tanner through the halls, up stairs, and around turns until they reached his room.
"So has James's darling Lilykins written you yet?" Sirius asked, throwing the zipper, and tossing the lid of his suitcases off. Emili's face fell.
"No."
"That's too bad." Tanner mused, walking over to his closet. He threw the double doors open and felt around through the clothes for a minute. Then there was a click and his closet split completely in two and disappeared into the walls. Tanner's room had expanded and looked like another three rooms had been added. There was another bed and it looked like an overlarge hotel suite. Plus the other half of the room had looked like that before. It was huge.
Emili sighed, "Have fun. Come see me when you're done unpacking." she waved and walked out of the room.
Sirius waved at Emili and watched her as she exited the room. He walked over to the doorway and watched her retreating back until she disappeared into a room at an opposite end of the hall. Sirius poked his head back into Tanner's room and shut the door behind him. He had a goofy sort of grin on his face. At least, until he saw Tanner standing there, tapping his foot.
Sirius's grin wiped off his face. Tanner started to laugh, relaxing.
"It's alright mate. Don't hold it in. Just say it!" he chuckled, slapping him on the shoulder. Sirius grinned again.
"Dude...You're sister is HOT!" he exclaimed.
"Grew up a lot huh?" Tanner said, settling himself on his bed, with his hands folded behind his head.
"Yeh." Sirius agreed. He went over to his bed and sprawled across it. He turned around and there was a picture on his nightstand. It was of Emili when she was eleven. She had bright blonde hair, with thick, brown streaks, she was short, smiling shyly, and standing in the middle of the five of them, wearing her school robes. She looked like she was already thirteen.
Sirius glared at Tanner and he started laughing. Sirius turned around to the other side. Then another nightstand appeared and there was a picture of Emili now. She was leaning against a white arbor, covered in flowers. She had her blonde hair left out and you could see her black undercoat, she was smiling confidently and wearing a pair of tiny shorts, and a pink spagetti strap.
Sirius lept out of his bed to see Tanner laughing and rolling around on his bed, his wand in hand. Sirius growled and pounced on him.
"Dude this is gonna be held against you forever!" he laughed, as Sirius's heavy, muscled body made contact with his and they rolled off the bed, wrestling the whole time.
Emili walked into her room and shut the door behind her, locking it. She slid down the wood slowly, letting out a breath loudly. Sirius. THE Sirius Black that she was absolutely, crazily, uncontrolably, head-over-heels, IN LOVE with...Was staying at her house for the rest of the summer. Emili jumped in fright as a loud 'THUMP' hit her widow. The tawny owl was carrying three letters. It shook it's head and charged at the window again. Emili ran to the window and quickly slid it open.
The owl flew in and dropped the letters on her head. They were from her friends. Emili jumped up and down, screaming. She finally stopped and tore open the one from Billie first. It said:
Emi,
What is happening baby? I miss you SOOOOOO BAD! But guess what? I met the cutest guy in France. His name's Pierre. I liked him so much. But...It didn't exactly work out. More on that later! We have more important matters. Like making sure that it's okay with your parents that I come over tomorrow and spend the rest of the summer at your house! AHHHHHH! I know! You're probably jumping up and down and screaming right now! (she was) But anyways, write me back! LUV YOU SO MUCH!
Billie xoxoxoxoxo
P.S. Like my new owl? Her name's Untitled! LOL!
Emili was jumping around in circles squealing excitedly. Billie was coming to stay with her tomorrow. She knew that her parents wouldn't care. They were never home, plus they had already said okay to Sirius so...
The next one was from Lily.
Hi Emi!
Well I just got back from Australia! It is AMAZING there. There are so many hot 'Azzis!' LOL! Anyway. I got back about yesterday morning and I went straight to Billie's. Don't get jealous! We're coming to your house tomorrow. Even though I resent having to go to any house within a 70 mile radius of James Potter, but it's worth it to see you again!
Luv always,
LILZ
Was up Emi girl?
It's Skyler. I had so much fun in America. California is awesome! I got a WICKED tan! I got so many WICKED guys too! Our beach house was on the beach. Did you know that that's why they call them beach houses? Well I got back three days ago and went to Billie's! See you tomorrow! LUV YOU ALWAYZ AND FOREVERZ!
SKY!
Emili collapsed on her bed, sighing in contentment. Then her favorite song came on. Emili turned it up Max. and danced around her room and out into the hall.
Sirius and Tanner were sitting in the kitchen on bar stools when they were practically blasted away by Emili's squeal and her music blasting up as high as it would go. Suddenly she was in sight, dancing in circles in her white, cargo bermudas, and her olive green spagetti strap. She danced around in circles until she was right between Sirius and Tanner. She grabbed a hold of Sirius's hands and pulled him up to dance with her. He dropped his sandwich in surprise.
She started belting it out:
I confess, I'm just messed up!
Dropping 'I'm sorrys!' like you're still around!
And I know you dressed up,
"Hey kid you'll never live this down!"
And you're just the girl all the guys wanna dance with!
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances!
Sirius started to sing with her now, her singing was mixed in with laughter.
I'm sleeping on your folks porch again...Dreamin'
She said, she said "Oh why don't you just drop dead!
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me (for hating it)
So say, What are you waiting for kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early cause I know, I'm always late!
Out of nowhere, Sirius twirled her around under his arm and grabbed both her hands. They were dancing crazily and before they knew what was happening, Tanner, Remus, and James had joined in their little duet. The boys knew this song since Emili played it so many times.
Write me off Give up on me
Cause darlin what did you expect
I'm just off a lost cause a long shot
You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moooans just right
I'm sleepin on folks porch again dreamin
She said, she said "Why don't you just drop dead?"
I don't blame you, for being you
But you can't blame me (for hating it)
So say, what are you waiting for kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early cause I know I'm always late.
I'm alllllways on! Alwaaaays on!
You said you'd keep me honest (alwaaaaays on!)
But I won't call you on it (alwaaays on, always on)
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me (for hating it)
So say what are you waiting for, kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early cause I know! I'm always laaaaaaAate!
I set my clocks early cause I KNOW! I'm always late!
Emili's CD ended and she started laughing harder, collapsing to the tile floor of the kitchen. Sirius fell due to dizziness and Emili started laughing harder.
"I LOVE THAT SONG!" she exclaimed, sitting up. Tanner offered his hand and she took it, hauling herself up.
"It scared the crap out of me when you three just appeared out of nowhere." Sirius said, standing up next to Emili. Tanner looked back and forth between Sirius and Emili and then burst out laughing. He had to hold onto Remus for support. The boys looked confused for a minute then looked at Sirius who was glaring at Tanner, and steadily turning pinker, then they understood. Emili and Sirius watched in wonder as the three boys before them, dissolved into a mass of laughing guys.
Emili shook her head and wrapped her arms around Sirius's middle hugging him.
"I'm suddenly really, really tired." she yawned. Sirius rubbed her back and hugged her.
"I'll walk with you to your room." he said.
"I have a better idea." she mumbled, turning him around and jumping on his back. He glared at the boys making weird. suggestive faces. Sirius flipped them off when Emili wasn't looking then bounded up the stairs, Emili squealing.
When they reached her room, Sirius burst through her door and ran over to her bed, turning around and flopping down on it, crushing the helpless Emili underneath him. Sirius laughed and rolled off of her. She patted the spot next to her on the bed. He laid down next to her, smiling shyly. Emili cocked her head at him. He slowly moved in when the sound of glass breaking was heard throughout the house. Emili growled and buried her face in her pillow. Then she changed her mind and snuggled into Sirius.
"I really don't want to know what they're doing to this place." she mumbled, softly.
"So why were you so happy when you came downstairs?"
Emili turned so that her back was to him and she grabbed a hold of his arms and pulled them around her. Sirius's heartrate quickened considerably.
"Billie, Lily, and Skyler are coming over tomorrow morning." she mumbled, leaning her cheek against his chest.
"SIRIUS!" came Tanner's shouting voice.
"WHAT?" yelled Sirius, startling Emili. He felt her jump.
"YOU BETTER NOT BE DOING NAUGHTY THINGS WITH MY SISTER!"
"SHUT UP TANNER!" they both shouted. Emili settled back into him.
"I should go-"
"Sirius if you move I sware I will kill you! Your arms make me warm." she whispered, yawning.
"Okay." he whispered. With that, they both fell asleep.
