Chapter Four

The next two days passed by relatively quickly, in Chelsea's opinion. Too quickly. She was starting to really stress about the Hogsmeade trip and kept questioning herself about why she had agreed to hang with Sirius for the whole day.

'I mean, it's not like I like him like that, so why am I freaking? It's just one day with him. And we hang out and joke with each other all the time! Like during quidditch practice and in class, though it gets annoying when I'm trying to listen to the lesson and he's giving me that infernal smirk of his and then brushes his hair away from those gorgeous eyes - ' She stopped pacing and plopped onto her bed. 'Oh my God. I like Sirius. I've actually lost it this time. I've become another brainless bimbo in love with the school's hottest guy. Way to go, Dugan.' Chelsea groaned and flopped onto her back.

"What's wrong with you?" Abby asked, stopping in the doorway of the girls dormitory, a questioning look on her face.

"Nothing," Chelsea replied, rolling over and facing the wall. She still hadn't told Abby (or anyone, for that matter) about spending the day with Sirius while in Hogsmeade. Tomorrow. Bugger.

"Right," the blonde said, walking over to her own bed and sitting down. "The last time you were like this was in fourth year when you had to sit next to that grease ball Snape in Potions. You were so stressed that he might try to sabotage your potion or poison it and volunteer you to test it, or something like that. Your mind gets very imaginative when your worried about something," she finished thoughtfully.

"I hate it when you do that," Chelsea groaned, sitting up and facing her.

"I know. Now spill it."

"Well..um..after practice a couple days ago, Sirius asked...me something," that sounded lame to her own ears.

"Yeah...?" Abby pried, not satisfied.

"Oh bugger! HeaskedmetospendthedaywithhimtomorrowatHogrmeade," the chaser cried, putting her face in her hands to hide the blush creeping onto it.

"He didn't!" Abby smiled excitedly as she watched her friend. "Oh. My. God."

"Shut up!" Chelsea yelled from behind her hands.

"So that's why he's been in such a grand mood lately.." Abby mused to herself. "Was he all cocky about it when he asked you?" She asked, turning her attention back to her distressed friend.

"Actually," the brunette said, removing her hands from her face slightly. "He was blushing when he asked."

Abby's hands went to her mouth and her eyes grew wide. "He wasn't!"

Chelsea nodded, trying to hide the grin that was spreading across her face. "He was trying to hide it. It was kind of cute to watch."

"He so fancy's you," Abby said, flopping back onto her bed.

Chelsea remained silent, and instead gazed out of the window above her bed. Tomorrow was going to be quite a day...

"Good morning, Dugan."

Chelsea looked up into the smiling face of Sirius Black, all the while rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Abby had kept her up almost half the night, telling her what she should do if this happens and telling her what to say should that happen. Frankly, the tired girl just wanted the day to go by without much of anything happening. She just wanted to have a fun time with a friend...who she liked more than a friend...but was trying not to admit it to herself. Chelsea took a seat beside the black haired boy and grabbed a biscuit off the pile in the middle of the table. The Great Hall was full of students all clothed in cloaks and hats, ready to head into town.

"Are you alright, Dugan?" Sirius asked, watching as she stifled a yawn and started to nibble at her biscuit.

Chelsea just nodded, stifling another yawn. "I-I-I'm alright. Just didn't get to sleep until one."

"Excited about spending the day with me, are you?" Sirius said, an overly large grin plastered onto his face.

Chelsea just raised her eyebrows and nibbled at her biscuit, choosing not to respond.

Soon everyone was heading out into the courtyard to take their leave. Abby met up with the group as they were heading out the front doors. She had skipped breakfast, wanting to "make herself presentable,"since she couldn't spend the day with her best friend and so had decided to ask Remus if she could tag along with him. Chelsea had found this a very surprising and bold thing of her friend to do. She was very proud of Abby. And she looked especially nice today, as Remus so kindly pointed out, a slight blush creeping onto his face. When they all reached town, Sirius and Chelsea waved goodbye to the group and set off in the opposite direction.

"So, Mr.Black, what did you have in mind for us to do today?" Chelsea asked, pulling her cloak tighter around her to block out the chilly fall breeze.

"Well, um," Sirius scratched his head as he looked around. Finally he turned to look at Chelsea. "What would you like to do, Chels?"

This caught the girl way off guard. Never before had Sirius called her by her first name. Chelsea's face immediately started to turn a bright shade of red. She quickly looked away to hide her embarrassment and settled her eyes on the first building she spotted.

"How about Honeydukes? Yes, candy good. Let's go," she rambled, grabbing a grinning Sirius by the arm and marching them both over to the candy shop.

The small shop was packed with as many Hogwarts students as the was candy. Chelsea smiled. She loved this shop. It was so colorful and always smelled so delicious. As she looked around the store she spotted James and Peter near the counter, paying for a mountain of candy. Chelsea poked Sirius and pointed in their direction. The handsome boy grinned and led the the way over to his two friends.

"Hello, mates," he said, clapping them both on the shoulder.

"Hey, Padfoot. Look at these! Just came in, their called Fizzing Whizbees," James exclaimed excitedly, holding up a rather large candy ball. "They make you levitate when you suck on them!"

"Wicked!" Sirius replied in the same excited tone and taking the sherbert ball from James to examine.

Chelsea wandered over to the showcase full of Acid Pops and pretended to look at all the different flavors and colors. But in reality, she was really wondering why James had called Sirius "Padfoot." It seemed like such an unusual nickname...

"There you are."

Chelsea looked up from the Canary Creams she had accidently been staring at and was met with Sirius's smiling face. He had a hand behind his back, which aroused Chelsea's curiousity.

"Why'd you wander off?"

"I wanted to look at the new Acid Pop flavors and didn't want to disturb your conversatio," she replied simply, then point to his hidden hand. "What have you got there?"

Sirius's grin, if possible, widened even more and his hand emerged from behind his back, holding a large, ruby red rose. Chelsea's eyes widened in awe as she accepted the rose from Sirius's hand. It was definitely candy, because it smelled faintly of strawberries. The brunette lowered her nose to the candy blossom and sniffed, wanting to smell more of it's sweet aroma. As she did so, the rose bloomed and inside, under the cover of candy petals, lay a silver chain bracelet. Chelsea tentavly picked up the bracelet, letting out a small gasp.

"Oh, Sirius.. This is so beautiful," she breathed, looking up at the handsome boy.

Sirius took the bracelet out of her hands and clasped it onto her wrist, his hands lingering a little longer when he was finished, touching her skin softly. Chelsea was as red as her Gryffindor scarf.

Ta da! Oo La La! Sirius is such a gentleman! Okey Dokey, R&R please!
