"Fuck my life" Marlene muttered sitting on her bed.
Today sucked. No scratch that today really sucked!
First she lost her Transfiguration homework and McGonagall gave her extra homework and detention, then she exploded three potions (don't ask) and then she fell down the stairs, then she spilled spaghetti all over herself at lunch (in front of Sirius no less) and then instead of making a small desk float in Charms she made Flitwick float and then Filch gave her another detention for getting a bit of mud in the corridors!
Yeah today sucked.
But on the plus side when Sirius tripped over his own two feet (he was so cute when he was clumsy!) she caught him!
He was so, so, so hot when he blushed!
It was actually strange for him to blush sometimes; he was so pale he didn't look as though he had enough blood. But when he did blush he cheeks went a faint pink, not red like Marlene.
Seriously it was hot.
But still all in all today was crap! It didn't help that during Herbology Anne kept trying to flirt with Sirius.
And instead of screwing up or accidentally insulting him Anne flirted perfectly! She even made Sirius blush!
Damn that girl.
And James wouldn't let her anywhere near Sirius. He couldn't still be angry about her calling Sirius stupid could he? It was a year ago!
But then again she did accidentally knock Sirius down the stairs last week and he ended up with a concussion...
Oops.
Plus James had always been weirdly protective of Sirius.
It had gotten worse now that almost every girl in Hogwarts wanted to date Sirius.
He was worse than a first time mother!
'Well' thought Marlene, 'I better start that extra homework...and then I have detention. Lovely.'
She rooted through her bag for her Transfiguration homework but she couldn't find it.
She checked under her bed. It wasn't there either.
Marlene sighed. She had left it in the Great Hall. Great, now she had to walk back to the Great Hall and she didn't want to walk right now, she was too comfy where she was.
Mondays sucked.
...
Marlene was rushing back up to Gryffindor Tower. It had just occurred to her that she should have brought the rest of her things with her so she could finish her extra homework in the Great Hall instead of running around half of the school.
So yes, Marlene felt very stupid.
She felt even stupider when she knocked someone over only to see that it was Sirius.
"Oh crap!" she yelped helping him to his feet, "Sirius I'm so sorry!"
"It's alright" said Sirius rubbing his head, "You really need to stop knocking me over though."
"Very true" said Marlene.
"Why are you in such a rush anyway?"
"Well as you know McGonagall gave me extra homework and detention. I left my Transfiguration book in the Great Hall and ran down to get it but when I got the book I realised I should have brought the rest of my things with me and done the homework in the Great Hall instead of running back and forth between the tower and the hall. And I have to be at detention in half an hour."
Marlene didn't even blink as she said all this.
Sirius blinked at her.
"Wow" he said.
"Yeah..."
"And don't you have detention with Filch too?"
"No that's tomorrow" said Marlene.
"Oh."
There was silence for a moment while Marlene thought of something to say.
Now was the perfect time to ask him to Hogsmeade, she hadn't spilt food down herself, she hadn't spilt her pumpkin juice all over Sirius' shirt (seriously don't ask, it was too shameful) she wasn't in class, there was no James to stop her, she hadn't knocked him down the stairs...even though she had knocked him down...
And the best part yet- she hadn't insulted him!
Now was the absolutely perfect time to ask him to Hogsmeade, to even mention Hogsmeade, to say something, anything!
"?" she blurted out in one breath.
"Uh...what?" Sirius asked.
"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" Marlene asked, starting to turn red in embarrassment.
"Oh" said Sirius, "Um, well the thing is I sort of already agreed to go with Anne."
"Oh" said Marlene feeling as though she had been punched in the gut.
Damn Anne O'Conner! Damn that bloody Hufflepuff!
"Sorry" said Sirius.
"No, it's alright" said Marlene looking at her feet, "I'd best get this homework finished.
As she turned to walk away Sirius called after her; "Hey Marlene! ...I really am sorry."
Marlene shrugged. "It's alright" she said, "Really."
She walked back to Gryffindor feeling like crap.
Damn that Anne! Damn her and her smartness! Damn her and her ability to flirt! Damn her and her Hufflepuff-ness!
Marlene frowned; Mondays really, really sucked.

A/N: Well at least she didn't insult him this time eh? Please review!
