Unwanted Discovery

"Oh the idiot left his text book," Marlene chuckled to herself, picking up her boyfriend's copy of A Guide to Advanced Transfigurationoff the bed which he had been occupying mere minutes ago. Why he had that book when he was only a fourth year was beyond her. She had given up asking him questions like that months ago.

"That boy would lose his head if it wasn't attached to his body," she laughed as she turned the book around in her hands

She shook her head as she left the boy's dormitory to head out and find her boyfriend and save him a journey back to the Common Room. Plus, it would give her the perfect excuse to have a quick kiss and a cuddle with him, before leaving him to carry on with his studies.

Marlene hurried up the flight of stairs that led to the seventh floor and walked towards the Unknowable Room where she was certain she would find her boyfriend. After all it was the best kept secret at Hogwarts that if you wanted to go somewhere private you went there. And if there was one thing she knew about Sirius Black, it was that he never went to the library to study like the other students.

Marlene finally reached the entrance, and turned to face the wall. What would Sirius ask the room for? she wondered.

I want somewhere private and comfortable to study, she thought as she walked past the wall three times.

Nothing. Maybe I should drop the study part, Marlene thought. Sirius Black would never openly admit that he wanted somewhere to study.

Marlene tried again walking past the wall thinking, I want a place that is private and comfortable.

Still nothing. Marlene sighed, and tried again and again, using many different requests, only to fail every time.

"Ugggh why won't any of these work," she huffed, throwing her hands into the air as she paced past the wall.

I just want to find my boyfriend, she thought, is that too much to ask. As she paced past the wall for the third time, repeating these thoughts in her mind, Marlene was taken aback when the door appeared before her very eyes.

That's very strange, she thought as she placed her hand on the door handle, and pulled it down. Why would Sirius have asked the room for that, or did it just simply respond to my needs?

The door creaked quietly as she pushed the door, unsure of what she was about to find.

Marlene was both crushed and infuriated by the scene that greeted her. There he was, Sirius Black, but not as Marlene knew him. He was locked in a passionate embrace with another boy, and not just any boy – it was his best friend Remus Lupin.

Her vision blurred slightly as her eyes began to fill with tears, and the book she had been carrying slipped from her hands and landed on the floor with a quiet thud.

The two young boys suddenly broke apart. Sirius' face was a mixture of pain and confusion, whilst Remus looked sheepishly at the ground. He should never have agreed to these secret rendezvous whilst he was still with Marlene.

"That explains why the room granted me access when I asked to find my boyfriend," Marlene mused tearfully. "Tell me, how long has this been going on?" she dared, wiping a stray tear from her eye as she tried to mask the pain in her voice and hide her heartbreak from the pair.

The duo stayed quiet, unsure of how to answer. Marlene never thought she would see the day that Sirius Black was speechless.

"Do you know what, I don't want to know," she decided, knowing that it would only cause her further pain. "Because my eyes have been opened to the truth about you Black. You are nothing more than a dirty, cheating rat."

As Marlene turned on her heel, she swore she heard Sirius mutter in an amused voice, "No that's Peter."
