I know I should be updatingSparrows at Sea, but I really like this story too. I'm trying on SAS though. =) The title of this story is derived from Electric Light Orchestra's song "so Fine", which is a brilliant song.

This is not a story about Sirius being a man whore. I think that he devoted too much time to trickery to be insanely girl-crazy. I do think that he had his fair share of girls, though. I also think that Sirius was pretty intelligent, but kind of hid it from everybody.

September 1975

"Reading another book, Weston?" a voice asked me, interrupting 1984 in mid-sentence.

I closed my book, using my finger as a bookmark, and I looked up at Sirius Black. He was leaning against the compartment's doorway, wearing a half-buttoned white shirt and some tight black pants. He had gotten more toned and his face had gotten more defined since the last time I saw him. The crooked smile he was so fond of using was on his face and I knew that he'd be up to no good.

"Yes," I replied. "And what's wrong with that?"

"It makes you boring," he said.

"I'd rather be boring than stupid."

He shrugged. "I don't read and look at me."

"Exactly."

"What does that mean?" Sirius asked.

"I think you know what that means," I replied.

He looked around the compartment. "Where's Lily?"

"Trying to hook up with McKinley," I told him.

"Him? He's an idiot!"

"I told her, but she wouldn't listen to me," I said. "Anyways, she'll find that out soon enough."

Sirius took the empty seat across from me and asked. "What about you, Emily? Got your eye set on anyone?"

"I'm not interested, Sirius," I replied. "So stop asking."

When Sirius didn't say anything, I went back to reading. I was only a paragraph in when he started. At first I thought that a fly landed on my leg, but when the feeling went up in a straight line and got dangerously close to my inner thigh, I knew it was him. Without looking up, I kicked him in the shin.

"Ow! That hurt!" Sirius yelled.

After a few more idiotic, slightly annoying things, I felt the spot next to me move. I ignored him as fingers ran up and down my arm and I even ignored him when they "accidentally" toughed my breast. Next, his fingers tugged on the waistband of my skirt and he tried getting inside. I set my book down.

A look of lust and longing was on his face as he tugged some more. More than likely, Sirius was imagining me naked and ready to fulfill his every desire. He'd have to keep dreaming, though, because he wasn't going to be getting that today.

I abandoned my book and slapped the seductive look right off of his face. He swore and put his hand over his cheek, where it was already starting to turn red.

"Emily!" Sirius shouted. "That hurt!"

"That's what you get for being so rude," I told him. "You don't try to reach into a lady's skirt!"

"You could've warned me before you hit me," he said.

"It wouldn't have done any good," I said. "You never listen to me anyways."

"Did you ever realize that I'd leave you alone if you just went on a date with me?" Sirius asked. "Just one little date."

"I'm not going out with you," I replied. "Get that thought through your thick skull. After a million rejections, I figured you'd set your sights on someone else."

"Never," he said with a smile. "I have eyes for only you, Emily."

"Oh shut up," I told him. "I'm tired of your jokes."

"Are you serious?" he asked, the smile was still in place.

I couldn't resist this one. "No, you are."

Sirius laughed and got up. "I still haven't given up hope on you, Emily."

As he exited the compartment, Lily entered it. She caught Sirius' gaze and gave him a look that could kill. I laughed and he gave me one last smile before disappearing.

"How can you even stand him?" Lily asked me as she sat down.

"He's not that bad," I replied. "And I try to ignore it when he acts like an idiot."

"You do know that you're encouraging him, right?"

"How do I encourage him?

"When you play along with his stupid little jokes," she replied. "It makes him think that he has a chance."

I rolled my eyes but I knew that Lily had a point. I'd shoot him down one minute and then end up playing with him a few minutes later. It was no wonder why he kept trying/ However, I didn't want Lily dissecting this, so I changed the subject.

"How'd it go with McKinley?" I asked.

"Wonderful," she replied with a smile. "He wants to take me out."

"That's good," I replied, trying to be happy for my best friend.

Lily gave me a sharp look that told me she wasn't buying it. "You're depressed, Em. You need a date, too."

"What makes you think I want one?"

"To prove to Sirius that you're not interested in him," she replied. "You haven't went out with anybody in ages, and he'll give up if he knows for sure that you're interested in someone."

"Who would I go out with, Lil?" I asked. It wasn't like I had guys beating down my door.

"Max has fancied you for quite some time," she replied. "I'll go talk to him and drop the hint that you're interested in him."

"Whatever," I said as I picked 1984 back up and continued where I left off.

I look forward to some constructive criticism and detailed reviews.
