Chapter 10: New Romance


Last Time…

She checked the name on the envelope and was surprised to see it had written on it, Phoebe Halliwell. She frowned, wondering who it was from, and opened it up. As she read it, she was even more surprised. But she wrote a reply anyway.

Ok, I'll be there around noon. I'll floo over to the library fireplace. See you Saturday.

Phoebe H

She summoned an envelope and put the note in there. She wrote the name of the sender and sent the owl away.


Charmed Tower, Saturday, Phoebe's Bedroom…

When Phoebe woke up, she remembered about who she was meeting. She looked over at her bed side table and saw the letter there, where she had placed it on Thursday. She picked it up and read through it again.

Dear Phoebe,

I'd like to talk to you privately about certain things. I was wondering if you would come over to Godric's Hollow and we could talk there. Maybe in the library? Whatever time you say will be fine. Hope to see you soon.

Yours, Sirius

Phoebe wondered what he wanted to talk about. Just thinking about it made her heart flutter a bit. She shook her head at the thought. "Keep it together Halliwell. He probably doesn't even like you in that way." She said to no one in particular. 'But why did he ask me to the Halloween Ball if he didn't?' Her inner self thought. She sighed.

'I guess I'll have to find out in two hours.' She thought. She got up and walked into the bathroom to get ready.


Godric's Hollow, Around 12 Noon…

Sirius was pacing in the library. Right in front of the fireplace. It was nearly 12 and Phoebe would be arriving soon.

"What if she thinks I'm mad?" He asked himself quietly.

"You know, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness Padfoot." The voice of James Potter said, as he came into Sirius's view.

"Funny Prongs, now shut it." Sirius snapped.

"Sorry, didn't mean to catch a nerve." James grinned. "Waiting for Phoebe?"

"No, I thought I'd invite Snape down here for . Of course I'm bloody waiting for Pheebs."

"Oh, she's Pheebs to you, is she? Well, I just came to tell you that Lily and I are going out for a while and Moony is going to see Piper about the potion for his little furry problem. So you and 'Pheebs' have the place to yourself."

"Right, I got it. Now bugger off before she gets here." Sirius said.

"Aye! Aye!" James mock saluted and orbed out as a book came flying towards his face. Sirius scowled and picked the book up and placed it back on the shelf. He sat in one of the armchairs and waited for the flames to turn green. In less than a minute, they did just that and Phoebe Halliwell fell out of the fireplace…

...and straight into Sirius's arms.

She smiled. "Fancy meeting you here." She said.

"I know the feeling." He said. He let her get up and then they smiled at each other.

"Maybe we should start that again." Phoebe said. "Hey."

"Hi. How was your journey?" Sirius asked, with a grin.

"Pretty rocky. How are you? And how is everyone else?" Phoebe asked, both sitting on the same sofa, right in front of the fire. They weren't near any windows so it seemed like it was night, with just the flames licking the fireplace lighting that part of the room.

"I'm fine, James is fine, Remus is fine and Lily is, is there anything fine about a pregnant woman?" Phoebe laughed, which made Sirius smile.

"Pregnancy can make a woman's hormones go a little haywire, but it's just like 9 months of PMS." Phoebe said. "She'll be fine as soon as the baby is born."

"Great, another 3 months or so with Lily the monster."

"I'm pretty sire she wouldn't appreciate that name. So anyway, what did you ask me here for?"

"Oh, well, erm…" Sirius wasn't sure what he was going to say. "Well, erm-"
"You said that already." Phoebe giggled.

"I know, I just, well, I like you Phoebe." He blurted out.

"And I like you, but I don't see what this is about?" She said, confused.

"No, I mean that I really like you. The time that we've been spending together, the Halloween ball, I've had great times with you."

"Sirius, I've had great times too." Phoebe said softly, letting her chocolate brown eyes look into his silvery grey ones.

"Well, what I mean to say is, would you like to go out tonight or something, like a date?" Sirius watched her to see what her reaction would be. Lucky for him, it was a happy one.

"Yes! I'd love that!" She said excitedly. Then she realised how over the top she had been and coughed slightly. "I mean, that sounds great."

"You can be excited if you want, I know I am at the moment." Sirius said, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"So where do you want to take me Mr. Black?" She said.

"I don't know, Miss. Halliwell, where would you like to be taken?" Sirius replied, his cheekiness shinning through.
"Well, maybe a meal somewhere, followed by something more private?" She said, moving over towards him. She had been edging towards him all the while they were talking and now she was right next to him.

"I like the sound of that." He said quietly. Their faces were close now, almost touching. They looked into each other's eyes once again.

"My, my, Mr. Black, what handsome eyes you have…" Phoebe said.

"All the better to see you with, my dear." Sirius replied, smiling. "What beautiful lips you have."

"All the better to kiss you with…" Phoebe pressed her lips gently against Sirius's. She closed her eyes, lost in the moment. Sirius kissed her back and closed his eyes. Phoebe felt his arms wrap around her and she did the same to him. Soon they were in a passionate kiss, neither wanting it to end.

Little did they know, their whole conversation and other 'things' were being watched by two certain sisters, two Whitelighters, a brother in law and a werewolf, through a book case.

"See, the perfect couple." Piper said softly.

"Yeah, now Sirius has someone to control him." Remus said, grinning at the pair.

James grinned too. "It was obvious from their Animagi forms."

"Huh?" Everyone, with the exception of Lily and Remus of course, was confused.

"When two people are soul mates, their Animagi forms are the same or similar." James explained. He looked at Piper and Leo.

"Wait, so you mean to say that me and Leo are soul mates?" Piper asked.

"Yep, unless you find someone else with a housecat form. Hey Leo, McGonagall's single." Remus said, watching Piper's face turned to horrified.

"Don't you dare put those ideas in his head Remus John Lupin!" She said angrily. It was lucky that they had charms on them to make them invisible and had a privacy spell around them.

"You know that I'm joking. I wouldn't want to feel your powers." He joked and made them all laugh slightly.

Meanwhile, Phoebe and Sirius had pulled out of their kiss and were listening to the conversation. Apparently, the spell had included them too.

"Should we tell them we know?" Phoebe whispered.

Sirius shook his head. "Let's have some fun with them." Sirius was about to speak when Remus said something.

"Too late guys, they found us out." Sirius and Phoebe heard shuffling and before their eyes, the 3 witches and 3 wizards appeared out of thin air.

"Aww, Moony how did you find out we knew?" Sirius moaned. Remus just smiled.

"Where did I get my nickname from?" He asked and Sirius mentally slapped himself. Of course, Werewolves had excellent hearing.

"What are you? Superman with your super hearing?" Phoebe asked, making herself, Piper, Paige, Leo and Lily laugh, while James, Sirius and Remus just stood, confused. Phoebe decided to explain. "Superman was a film. It was about an alien with superhuman abilities."

"Right…" James said. "An alien, like they're real."

"Probably what Muggleborns say about Hogwarts and witches and wizards." Paige retorted.

"Just go away guys. It was good until you started yapping." Sirius said. The others made faces but orbed out. He turned back to Phoebe. "Now where were we?"

"I know." Phoebe giggled as she went in to give Sirius another kiss…
