Aubrey stared in shock at Sirius, acutely aware of the cold water from the dirty puddle dripping down her dress, and of her bare feet and smudged makeup. He looked the same as ever, handsome dark hair framing his flawless features, his gray eyes flashing with expected amusement. Resentment flashed through her. What right did he have to laugh at her after the last couple of weeks?

"What are you doing here, Black?" Aubrey forced her voice cold, planting her hands on her hips. He sighed, his smirk fading into a soft smile.

"Don't be like that Aubrey, we both know you need a little help," he retorted, and her expression darkened.

"How do you know if I need help or not-" her furious words lapsed into a tiny gasp as he moved forward in one swift moment, his arms encircling her waist and drawing her against his chest. Nerves bounced through Aubrey like firecrackers and she swallowed, her heart pounding against his well muscled chest.

"I can just tell," he smirked, his hands pressing into a particularly wet spot on her back. Her usual blush flared up, turning her cheeks crimson. Before she could protest his hand and moved father then she would prefer down her back and he scooped her up, his other hand cradling her closer to his chest.

"And I'm not letting you walk home like this," he added, striding to his bike. Aubrey's hands knotted tightly in on his shoulder and she glared angrily at him.

"Put me down is instant Sirius Black! Everyone is looking!" Aubrey hissed through clenched teeth, her terrified eyes darting around the street. A handful of Muggles were watching the scene with amusement and she could feel the familiar burn of embarrassment starting in her face.

"Let them watch," Sirius said airily, settling her down down on the backseat to the motorbike, "In fact, we should give them something to watch." Dread immediately sparked in Aubrey's chest at his words, but she had no time to react when he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.

Her stomach did a wild summersault, and then twisted violently, seeming to set off a chain reaction of butterflies soaring through her stomach. The kiss wasn't in a friendly way, although she had a slight suspicion it was all a show. Unfortunately, his strong hand had tangled it's self into her hair and even if she wanted to, Aubrey found it impossible to break away.

Even if I wanted to...Try as she might, Aubrey did not want to break away, not at all. His lips on her's sent jolts of electricity racing down her spine making her shiver in delight. Sirius Black was absolutely, utterly, perfect, and now she was certain of it. As he pressed her closer she desperately tried to remind herself of the fight they had been in, but her thoughts seemed muddled and the only thing that seemed razor sharp in her mind was that she was enjoying herself immensely.

Suddenly he pulled away, and ever fiber in her body protested. She forced the dazed look out of her face, arranging her features in a mask of surprise. He smirked lazily down at her, his hand leaving her hair as he straightened out of the uncomfortable looking pose he had had to bend into to kiss her since she was sitting and he standing. Aubrey ignored the laughing glances of Muggles as an unexpected throb of anger pulsed through her. He was just using her for a show like before. When was she ever going to get it through her head that she was nothing but a chess piece in his game?

Aubrey smoldered furiously but smothered the outburst that was longing to escape her lips. If she voiced her thoughts he would know that she cared that he was just using her. Besides, she could just as easily express her anger by pretending to not of wanted him to kiss her. I don't want him to kiss me, she reminded herself firmly.

"Sirius Black!" she snarled in a low tone as he settled down in front of her on the bike, "You are the most stupid boy I have ever met! What the Hell was that for? Now everyone who saw that thinks we are dating, and I most certainly do not like you-"

He cut her off with the roar of the starting motorbike, "Relax Aubrey, it was just a bunch of Muggles. Anyways, you know I was just playing around." Sirius leaned back, his hand brushing her stomach as he buckled her seat belt. Despite herself, tingles shot down her back upon contact with him. Aubrey, ignore it. He was just 'playing around.'

"But say one of them was actually a Wizard. They could tell-" Aubrey continued furiously, cut off again by the increasingly louder noise of the Motorcycle.

"I suggest you hold on to me," Sirius told her lightly as the bike gave a gave a giant lurch forward. Aubrey uttered a small shriek and her arms shot forward, tightening like rope around his hard stomach. She could feel him shaking with laughter and she stared resentfully at the street as it flew by, focusing on anything but the speed at which they were hurtling along.

Seemingly eons later the bike gave an almighty screech, and Aubrey risked a glance, peeling her face away from the spot it had been firmly planted on against Sirius's back. He hopped off with ease, offering her a hand down. Aubrey gave him a reproachful glance and attempted to get off herself. Her dress managed to wind it's way around the handle bars of the bike, and she tripped forward, into Sirius's waiting arms.

He straightened her, gently unhooking her dress, eyes full of laughter. Aubrey determinedly avoided his eyes, pulling away sharply and glancing at her surroundings. They were standing in front of her hotel, which was disguised as most Wizarding places are, as a dirty abandoned place, this specific one sporting and old Candy Shoppe sign. A slight breeze drifted through the air and for the first time Aubrey realized how chilly she was. A shiver ran down her back and her arms broke down in goosebumps. A fast ride in a wet dress certainly had not helped.

"Here," Aubrey turned around, surprised to see Sirius offering her his jacket. She raised her eyebrows at him.

"I thought the romantic act was a show," she let a light teasing note answer her tone. Sirius shifted so she couldn't see his expression.

"I can't be gentleman?" he counted, wrapping the heavy black leather jacket around her. Warmth immediately rushed through her and she smiled gratefully up at him.

"You're forgiven," she sighed, hugging the coat about herself. Sirius laughed, wrapping an arm around her as he started toward the seemingly abandoned Candy Shoppe. Aubrey followed him, wondering slightly when he knocked confidently three times on the door with his wand. How'd he know to do that?

The door let out a rusty screech as it slid open, and Aubrey followed Sirius as he stepped into the blackness inside. The ground immediately lurched under her feet, and her world seemed to upside down for a couple of moments. Then it righted itself again and the pressing blackness was gone, replaced by blinding bright lights.

"Up you go, Aubrey," Sirius's amused voice came from above her. She grabbed onto the hand he offered, disoriented. Finally the world seemed to stop spinning and she immediately recognized the fancy rooms around her. The Wizarding hotel was a pale creme color with thick gold curtains draped across the walls, the floor yellow-white colored tiles. Moving paints adorned the room, painted with a little more artistic skill then a regular moving painting.

When Aubrey had finished admiring the view, she glanced back at Sirius, curious at the way he seemed to know his way around then hotel. He had known how to get in, how to stay on his feet while passing through the magical enchantment... Aubrey frowned slightly, thoughts racing. His gaze flicked over to her searching eyes and although his expression was light, his gray eyes seemed tense.

"How do you know this place?" Aubrey asked curiously as he led her to the front desk. He cocked an eyebrow at her, a grim smile twisting his face.

"Let's just say I have a lot of childhood memories from this place," Sirius told her before he stopped before the sprawling desk. Aubrey knew better then to ask more questions, she and most of the people in Sirius's year knew about his great dislike of his family. A stiff backed witch with curly blonde hair and narrowed blue eyes behind rhinestone glasses sat behind the gold desk. She fixed them with a haughty stare.

"Aubrey Crawly, I presume?" the witch questioned, her face stern. Aubrey nodded meekly, stepping slightly behind Sirius. "And you are?" the witch demanded, eyes turning to slits upon seeing Sirius.

"Her companion," Sirius said without missing a stride, smirking down at Aubrey. She froze mortified. Sirius Black had a way of making the word companion sound like much more. The witch cracked a thin, unused, smile, probably in an attempt to look amused.

"Oh but it's not like that," Aubrey hurried to put in, shooting the witch a sweet smile. Next to her, Sirius scowled, his little game over. But to Aubrey's annoyance, the woman just gave her a patronizing smile.

"I'm sure that's true dear," the lady practically drawled, "Here's your room key. You dropped it earlier." Aubrey flushed scarlet, annoyed it the witch's obvious sarcasm and her own clumsiness. She snatched the card away from the witch's outstretched hand and spun around dramatically.

"Come on, Sirius," she growled, starting towards the elevator. He followed her, snorting softly at her clipped tone. Not in the mood to be laughed at, Aubrey jabbed the elevator button fiercely. Sirius stopped behind her, silent.

"You know, you're impossible!" Aubrey burst out, whipping around to glare at him fiercely. Sirius laughed his bark-like laughter, smirking at her. "I mean, seriously! I stop being mad at you and then I'm mad at you again. And then I stop being mad about that, but you do another idiotic thing!" she continued. He wrapped an arm around her as the elevator door slid open, leading her inside.

"That's why you love me," he replied, grinning cheekily as the doors clanged shut and the ground jolted beneath her feet, rushing upwards.

...

Eek, did that seem like too much?
