Romy stared at Sirius with wide eyes.

"Where did you get an invisibility cloak?" she asked, completely astonished.

"It's James'," he replied, still grinning. "So you coming with me or not?"

Sirius but the invisibility cloak over his head and held the rest up for Romy to join him. It took her a while but she soon went under the cloak with him and he then pulled out a piece of parchment and opened it up.

"Hold this and tell me if anyone's coming," he said, handing it over to her.

"Sirius," Romy said seriously. "What is this?"

"It's a map."

She stared at the Gryffindor common room where it showed her and Sirius' names.

"Where did you get this?"

"We made it," he replied, a triumphant tone in his voice.

As they walked out in to the corridor, Romy just studied the map. There were no names roaming the corridors, as she expected.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"Honeydukes."

"Honeydukes? Sirius they lock the castle doors at night," Romy said, panic rising in her.

"Trust me, Roms, it'll be okay, just keep an eye out on the map."

They didn't speak much as they walked through the castle, mainly because Romy was too engrossed in the map. Soon enough, they came to a stop in front of the one eyed witch portrait. Sirius glanced at the map and then took off the invisibility cloak and swung open the portrait.

"I didn't know this opened," Romy said in awe.

"No one does," Sirius said, flashing her a grin.

He stepped through the portrait whole which revealed a passageway. Romy followed him.

"How do you know this was here?" She asked.

"The map," Sirius began. "We didn't intend for it to reveal as much of the castle as it did but well, what could we do."

He stopped before a set of stairs and began to climb up them. He placed his palm on the surface above them and the tile above lifted up. Sirius moved the tile on to the flooring that was above them and climbed through the whole. He put a hand down to help pull Romy up from the last few steps.

"Does the map show Honeydukes?" she whispered.

"No," he replied, throwing the cloak back over them. "That's why we have this."

They stood in the cellar of Honeydukes and then Sirius pointed to a set of stairs going upwards to what only Romy could assume was Honeydukes sweet shop. As she walked up the stairs she realised how close Sirius and her had been the full way there. She tried to hide her blush as the entered the sweet shop.

"I was thinking we take some then head to the kitchens with it?" Sirius whispered in her ear.

Jumping slightly at how close he was to her, she simply nodded. He grabbed one of the bags they use to fill with sweets and handed it to Romy and then took one for himself. She followed him and filled the bag up of all her favourite sweets from the shop. It didn't take her long, she had memorised where all of them were from her numerous visits there.

He nudged her when he was finished and they both returned back to the cellar and through the passageway. Slipping off the cloak once again, Romy watched Sirius as he began to eat his sweets.

"Did you see me on the map tonight?" she asked.

He simply nodded and Romy looked at the map. The cover page was on show and she read it.

'Messrs Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present you, The Marauders Map'

"I really don't understand your nicknames," Romy said to him.

He smiled slightly. "You'll find out their meaning one day, maybe."

Romy watched him as he walked one side her. His hair was its usual black mess but somehow it just seemed to sit so perfectly. She travelled down his body and it was then she noticed he was only wearing a t-shirt and jogging bottoms. His muscles bulged through the arms of the top and Romy found herself imagining them wrapped around her waist, pulling them close to Sirius' body...

"Roms?"

"Hmm?"

"You want to come under the cloak or?" he laughed. It almost resembled a bark.

"Oh, sorry," she mumbled and joined him under the cloak. They made their short journey to the kitchens. Sirius tickled the pear and the door opened for them. There were no house elves in sight but they didn't need anything made for them anyway.

"So what made you want to go on this adventure?" Romy asked, opening her sweets.

"We haven't spoken in a while," Sirius shrugged, his lips smacking off each other as he ate. "Thought I'd take my best friend out."

"Best friend?" She raised her eyebrow and smiled.

"Well my best girl friend," he said, returning the smile.

She loved his smile.

"You did really well on Saturday by the way," he continued. "You were brilliant for that being your first game."

"Thanks," she replied, trying not to blush.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to say that to you after the game, I was kind of ambushed."

"I saw," she replied, not amused.

"I am sorry about Mar, it's just...she's just so clingy and seems to love public displays of affection."

"So I've noticed."

"You don't like her do you?"

"What?" Romy said, quite surprised at his question. "What makes you say that?"

"The way you always act when she's around, it's like you can't stand her."

"It's not that, Sirius, I honestly do like Marlene but it's just the way she acts. It is literally like she's obsessed with you."

That was it. She'd said it. There was no going back now, he was either going to hate her for it or just deal with it. After all, she was his 'best girl friend'.

"I know," he said scrunching up his empty sweet bag. "I didn't expect her to be like this at all and I'll admit it's off putting."

"Really?" she was surprised at him agreeing.

"Yeah, I keep saying she'll get better but I honestly don't know if she will," he sighed.

"Do you like her?" Romy asked quietly. "Like really like her?"

"Course I like her but I don't see it lasting long."

"You're Sirius Black, the ladies' man. You'll still be having fun when all of us are having families," she joked.

Sirius didn't reply immediately and Romy worried that she had went too far. He just stared at her but he then smiled.

"You never know, I might surprise you and find a girl, Roms."

She laughed. "I'll believe it when I see it."

"You doubt me too much."

"Not at all," she replied smiling. "I've missed talking to you, believe it or not."

"What?" he said leaning forward. "Miss Romy I-don't-need-friends Wallace missed talking to me?"

"Shut up," she muttered but smiled all the same. "I've just missed your terrible Scottish accent."

"Ach, hen, dinnae worry aboot me am still ha'ing ma meetin's."

"Meetings?"

"Well, when I decided we were to be friends I heard a little first year talking in the common room, his accent is really thick and he actually says Scottish words unlike you," he smirked. "So I help him with his Transfiguration and in return he teaches me Scottish words and phrases."

"Please tell me you're joking?"

"My dearest Romy, I wouldn't dream of it."

"Are you really helping him with Transfiguration?" she questioned.

"Don't say it like that, I got an O in the exam thank you very much," he said crossing his arms.

"I must say, I am a little shocked."

"Well," he said getting off his seat. "We better get going, McGonagall is patrolling the corridors and she's starting at the dungeons so I say we move before she gets any closer."

He held out a hand for her, with that grin of his spreading across his face.

She took it, trying not to faint at the fact their hands were touching.


Longest chapter so far or what? I honestly didn't mean for it to be this long but I just had to get everything in the one chapter. I know not a lot really happens but I really just had to have Romy and Sirius just be together alone for the first time in a while in order to help the story progress in the way I needed it to. I really hope you guys enjoyed it and I already knew the song I wanted for this chapter before I even started writing it and it's Alone Together by Fall Out Boy. I adore it.

I was also thinking, I know there is a few ways to pronounce Romy. I know two girls with the name and it's pronounced different ways. R-oh-my is the way I pronounce the character Romy but of course if you prefer to maybe pronounce it just as R-hom-y that's fine! Just thought I'd clear that up.

Anyway, please review! I hope you guys liked this chapter!
