Chapter 10
We all froze in horror not quite sure how to respond, until Luna was able to respond in a somewhat realistic manner.
"We were doing research and think we have discovered what is in the chamber of secrets, we tend to go hunting after dangerous mythical things and when we found one at Hogwarts we looked into it." She said with her best nonchalant, 'who cares where going after a huge snake' kind of look. Ginny and I simply nodded agreeing with her.
"Oh, well, I guess that makes some, erm sense, I was wondering if I could talk to Miss Ebony." He said looking at Ginny expectedly, she nodded and they left to the side of the hall together.
I smirk as I watched the two of them walk off together, reminding me of Luna's latest love interested.
"So, how's Snape?" I asked Luna, at this she looked shocked that I would ask anything to do with him.

Arriving back in the Slytherin common room I was welcomed with whispers and pointed fingers. I held my head high and looked down at all of my peers. Just before reaching the staircase I was approached by Dolohov.
"That was quite the stunt you pulled in the hall." The arrogant boy said smirking at me. "Personally I think it makes you look hotter, what do you say about next weekend, you, me, Hogsmeade?"
Was he serious?
"No, I'm busy that day, sorry." I then moved so I could return to my room, but he pushed in front of me, blocking my path.
"Oh, so have you already got a date then?" he questioned in a disbelieving manner, jerk.
"Yeah, you could call it that I guess, now move out of my path, I have work to do." I attempted to move past him but he wouldn't budge.
"Really? And who would this mystery man be? I know for a fact he isn't Slytherin, I had already made my claim on you." He said making me feel uncomfortable, his eyes raking over my body, his gaze stopping at my lips.
"If I tell you will you move?" I asked, and then I realized the whole common room was watching the exchange.
"Of course"
Then it came out, the name that I would probably end up regretting.
"Sirius Black"
LALALALA
The news had spread like wildfire that Sirius was taking me to Hogsmeade. He of course fueled the fire saying it was true, the next morning I decided to sit with the Gryffindor's, so I could easily pull Sirius aside afterwards. Today Luna decided to sit with us, both girls spent half of the time looking at me expectantly, waiting for me to say what was happening.
After ten minutes of them staring pointedly I said "I'll explain later, girls, check your books tonight." This confused the people surrounding us that could hear our conversation, the girls just nodded and turned their focus, to that of their breakfast.
"Sirius could I talk to you for a minute after breakfast." He smiled smugly and nodded. Ten minutes later I found myself outside the great hall, nervously walking towards the waiting boy.
He smiled at me and said, "So what's this I hear about a date? In England, normally the boy asks the girl. Not the girl just claiming she is going on a date with a boy, but maybe that's how it's done in France, though I highly doubt it." His smile getting bigger with each passing moment, if that was even possible.
"Sirius, the thing is, I was cornered by Dolohov" he cringed at this, "he asked me to go on a date and I said that I already had one, you just happened to be the first person to come to my mind, seeing as both Snape and your brother were taken." At the mention of his brother his face turned serious.
"What do you mean my brother is taken?" he asked seemingly confused.
"Cora, I mean Adeline, has taken to him fondly, I guess you could say, so has Mateja with Severus." He seemed to smirk at this.
"So Miss Granger, who have you taken fondly to?" he smirked thinking he knew the answer.
"Have you seen the people I share a room with, half of them are plotting my death while the other half are stealing my work." This obviously caught him off guard faltering his smirk.
"Well, I believe you defiantly need an escort through Hogsmeade my lady, I will meet you outside the hall at noon for our date." He then bowed, kissed my hand and left.
He is so weird!
I grabbed my bags and headed off to my next class.
So how was it? Ideas and feedback are always so helpful thanks everyone,
