I don't own Harry Potter.
"Hello there, Sirius Black." The fifth year Sirius recognized from the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Transfiguration class they shared said as she sauntered up to him. She was walking in what she probably thought was a sexy sort of gait, but actually make her look like she had something stuck in her . . . well, it wasn't polite to say where she looked like she had something stuck, and Remus was on a guilty streak, so he was trying to get them to stop using "such vulgar language". Sirius had refrained from pointing out the fact that during the days directly preceding and following the full moon, Remus had the mouth of a sailor. It never ended well, for Sirius anyway. Moony was usually quiet satisfied after hexing him to pieces. "Stress relief" he called it. Stress relief, his arse.
"Sirius," The girl in front of him purred; well tried to purr. It came out a bit like an unattractive whine. Okay, a lot like an unattractive whine. It took all of Sirius's finely tuned self-control to not flinch or cover his ears like some of the people in vicinity. "Sirius," The girl whined again.
Merlin, Sirius thought, even my spoiled prince of a brother wasn't this whiny. Still, he managed forced out a smile. The girl practically swooned. "Why hello there, Miss." He replied charmingly, at the same time trying not to grit his teeth in annoyance. "And your name would be?"
The girl in front of him was twirling her hair on her finger in an annoying way. He supposed it was supposed to be flirty, but he had never really liked that gesture, and this girl was horrible at flirting. She was so horrible it made James's mum look like she was practically trying to seduce him anytime Sirius went over there. Sirius shuttered with revulsion at the mental picture. The woman was like a better, second mother. The girl didn't notice.
"I'm Mary Beth." She said giggling. Her finger was still twirling the damned hair around and around. He wished she would just stop with it.
Sirius saddled up beside her. He put an arm around Mary Beth. It was a sign of either how desperate she was or how into him she was that she was still letting him put his arm around her when not a minute ago he didn't know her name. "Well, Mary Beth," He replied, "I hear there's a Hogsmeade weekend coming up." Mary Beth giggled again. Sirius mentally rolled his eyes. This girl was an idiot. "Would you like to go with me?" He finished. She was a cute idiot, though.
Mary Beth's giggles were almost hysterical at this point. "I'd love to, Sirius."
Sirius saw Remus waving from across the corridor. There was a piece of parchment clutched in is hand as he waved. Sirius knew this was their code to get your arse over there as soon as possible. Sirius turned his attention over to Mary Beth, who was still basking in the happiness of being asked out by the Sirius Black. Sirius set his features to apologetic. "I'm sorry to barge off, Mary Beth, but I have to help my friend Remus with the work he missed while visiting his sick mother. Mrs. Lupin's condition has been getting worse."
"That's fine, Sirius," Mary Beth said disappointedly as Sirius snaked his arm out from around her. "Give Remus my best." She added as an afterthought.
"I will," Sirius shouted at he started down the corridor. He knew this was probably the only part of the conversation that was actually true. Mary Beth only added her wishes as a courtesy, but Remus always lit up whenever anyone asked after him. Sirius supposed it had something to do with his low sense of self-worth.
"Do you ever get tired of dating bimbos?" The boy in question asked as Sirius ran up beside him.
Sirius gave Remus a shove. "Shut up," Sirius muttered, "And Mary Beth sends her best."
