Wooing a Seer
Islay12: Okay it's a spin-off of my story: Another Constellation, featuring the daughter of everyone's favourite 70s player Sirius Black and my own personal Original Character Christine Charles. I was thinking about writing this for some time and after rereading a review from Izabelle I decided to.
The whole plot is following Sirius Black point of view. It's about how Sirius met and loved Christine Charles and how their daughter Cassiopeia came to be. Questions will be answered as Sirius peruses this seer of a Ravenclaw.
This can be read without Another Constellation!
So this story is for Izabelle the wonderful reviewer from Another Constellation. She requested I go with my idea for a prequel/companion story. For your reviews and request I'm gonna put you in this story, but I don't know anything about you except your name so forgive me if I mess up!
This is my YEAR 2 story. So read and enjoy!
I don't own Harry Potter cause I speak English not slang.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Seeing a Seer
Sirius was sitting beside James in Seventh Year Charms. It was a boring lesson for lack of a better word. All James was doing was trying to get Lily's attention. Even though she had cursed, hexed and insulted him more times than Sirius had girlfriends. Although now it was routine.
"Doesn't he know Evans isn't interested?" Sirius whispered to Remus who was sitting behind him and James with Peter, who was struggling to take notes.
"As long as she's still breathing James will chase her." Remus said leaning forward. "Really I'm surprised she hasn't completely obliterated him."
"He probably just takes that as a sign she likes him." Sirius said under his breath.
Remus snickered. "Right. And you're Head Boy."
"I thought James was Head Boy." Peter said coming into the conversation; clearly abandoning his notes.
"Pete, Pete, Pete." Sirius said shaking his head. "You're a great guy but Merlin, you need better timing."
It was at that moment that Sirius' chair decided to give out on him and crumble, alerting Flitwick to the chatter in the Marauder's direct area. He frowned and looked disapprovingly at the four (James had been lumped in because he awoke from his drooling stupor by the crash).
"Potter, Pettigrew, Lupin, Black. I'm afraid I have to send you down to the headmaster's office. This is the third time this week I've caught you talking." Flitwick said from his teetering pile of books.
"But James wasn't even part of it. He wasn't talking!" Peter said.
"Ya, he was staring at Evans." Sirius said in wicked humour. The class started to chuckle as James glared at Sirius.
Flitwick looked to be holding in a chuckle himself. "Fine. Mr. Potter you are exempt. As for the rest of you, I'll have Miss. Charles escort you down to the Headmaster's office; given the fact you yourselves might get sidetracked."
"Yes Professor Flitwick." Said the willowy Ravenclaw from the first row, standing up and walking towards the door. The three boys followed her through the hallways, trailing a few metres behind her.
"Hey Remus." Sirius whispered. "Who exactly is this Charles chick? I've never really seen her around." He remarked even though they had obviously gone to the same school for seven years and at least been in the same class for a month and a half, this being mid October.
"She's Christine Charles, smartest Ravenclaw in the year. You used to pull her braid in second year." Remus remarked offhandedly.
"Well I wouldn't be yanking anything but-" Sirius started.
"Don't even finish that sentence Sirius." Remus said staring with Sirius at Christine's back.
"Why haven't I remembered such Her?" Sirius said drawing out 'her' obviously impressed with Christine's backside.
"She used to look rather mousy, but she started putting some effort into her appearance last summer. Not to mention we only have Charms with her and she tries her best to not get entangled with people like you." Remus said.
"How do you know so much about her?" Sirius asked.
"She's a prefect too. Her mum and my mum are also close friends so I saw her over the summer. And Merlin…" Remus said staring off into space. "I mean, she was quite nice looking when we took that trip down to the ocean." Remus said blushing.
"That girl in a bikini." Sirius said thinking aloud. "Sweet sugar quills I think we have a winner."
"No go Sirius. When she got back from the summer she was asked out by Austin Davis, Kenneth Powers, and Sherman Quincy. She refused them all; she's quite devoted to her studies." Remus said naming the top three dateable boys in the school behind the Marauders.
"What she only goes for smart guys?" Sirius joked.
"That and she's also a seer. She predicts before the course of a relationship before it even starts so she can see weather it's going to go up or down." Remus said avoiding the third step on the staircase.
"So let me get this right. This girl is smart, beautiful, a seer and unattainable. I think I smell a challenge." Sirius said triumphantly.
"Well you'd do better in the friend zone than trying the 'Sirius' approach." Remus said.
'It's tried and true." He protested.
"On everyone but Christine Charles."
Christine heard her name and swung around, her long brown hair swinging over her shoulder. "Did you say my name?" She asked pointedly.
Sirius' blue-grey eyes met her royal blue eyes and he blinked. Then he knew he was hooked. This girl would be his if his name wasn't Sirius Orion Black.
OoOoOoOoOoO
The way I'm introducing her makes her sound like a Mary-Sue. Having Sirius and Remus attracted to her but she really isn't. Just because she's beating off boys, super smart and beautiful doesn't make her a Mary-Sue. Just wait until I bring out a little of her personality. Not saying Christine is a horrible person she just has a human personality.
