Chapter 10: Roller-skates
I quite enjoy waking up face-to-face with Sirius in the mornings, though, I shouldn't be letting it become habit. He's quite gorgeous when he's sleeping: and he pulls off the straight out of bed look perfectly. Sirius is definitely one of those guys, who could say, I woke up like this. I was watching Sirius sleep, until his bedroom door slammed open. A furious James was stood in the doorway with lavender coloured hair.
'Padfoot!' Sirius's eyes snapped open. I watched Sirius smile sweetly towards James.
'Yes, Prongs... how may I be of assistance on this fine morning?' The next second, James had launched himself at Sirius, meaning I'd hastily scrambled out of the way. I watched the two Marauders wrestle; James spoke.
'You'd better be able to change my hair back to normal.' Sirius knocked James off the bed at this point, and grabbed his wand. Sirius pointed his wand at James.
'No sudden movements Potter.' James scrambled to his feet, pulling out his own wand.
'Fix it! I've got a date with Lily later.' Sirius chuckled.
'Oops... Evans is fond of the colour purple, right?' James's face fell.
'What?!' Sirius shrugged.
'I used Tintillus Casia... you know there's no counter curse: it lasts 24 hours.' James frowned, before casting.
'Tintillus Viridescentio.' Sirius didn't block the spell in time, so his hair turned a dark teal-green. I watched Sirius leap off the bed, before rushing over to the mirror: a mortified expression crossed his face.
'Prongs!' James chuckled, putting his wand away.
'We're even for now, but I'm not finished... remember, I have to go on a date like this.' I'd been suppressing laughter this entire time, and couldn't suppress it any longer. James and Sirius both stared at me as I burst into laughter. A moment passed, before James and Sirius shared a glance, and because I was still laughing so hard, I didn't notice Sirius cast, until it was too late.
'Tintillus Rosea.' I stopped laughing, staring towards Sirius in shock.
'No.' Sirius chuckled. I now have candyfloss pink hair, guess that'll teach me for laughing at the misfortune of others.
That afternoon Sirius and I were watching James get ready for his big date. James is wearing a floral shirt with high-waisted jeans: and was attempting to flatten his unruly hair, as Sirius spoke.
'You look ridiculous.' James rolled his eyes.
'Whose fault is that?!' Sirius raised his eyebrows.
'Hey! I didn't know you and Evans were going out... and besides Evans knows what I'm like.' I laughed, giving Sirius a shove.
'Yeah, unfortunately we all know what you're like... so, where you taking Lily, James?' James abandoned his hair at this point, giving up as he always did. He collapsed onto the bed, beside me and Sirius: I would say that the great James Potter looked nervous.
'She wants to go to some muggle place, think she called it a rollo-disc.' I smirked.
'A roller disco?' James sat up.
'Yeah, that's it! You've heard of it?!' I nodded, still smirking.
'Yes. It's like a muggle ball, but you wear roller-skates.' James and Sirius asked the same question at this point.
'Roller-skates?' I chuckled.
'Yes, they're shoes with wheels... at a roller disco, there's music playing and you skate around the dance floor, instead of dancing.' I seriously doubted that James would be able to stand in roller-skates, if he's never tried them before. Lily's either forgotten that James is a pureblood, or she's got a better sense of humour than I give her credit for. There was silence, before Sirius spoke.
'Sweet! Mynee! I want to go!' I chuckled as James spoke.
'No! I'm going on a date... that means no Padfoots.' Sirius pouted, though, it obviously doesn't work on James.
I'd planned to begin preparations for this month's Wolfsbane Potion once James had left for his date, however, Sirius seemed to have other ideas. I was dissecting Nightshade flowers to obtain the pollen sacs when Sirius popped up on the other side of the table.
'Whatcha doing?' I glanced towards him with a slight smirk.
'I'm dissecting Nightshade flowers, because I need the pollen sacs for Moony's potion this month.' Sirius seemed to think for a moment, before responding.
'Boring!' I placed the scalpel down, and turned my attention to Sirius.
'Alright, what would you like to do, Siri?' I watched a mischievous smile appear on Sirius's lips, and I already regretted the question.
'Roller disco.' I sighed.
'Prongs said no.' Sirius shook his head.
'Prongs isn't here... please Mynee.' Sirius pouted: I sighed. I suppose it could be fun.
'Fine. Go get ready, before I change my mind.' Sirius kissed me, and hurried off to get ready. I left Dorea's potion lab, after storing my ingredients, and went to change into a bohemian style jumpsuit. I applied a bit of makeup, before making my way to the living room, where I found an excited Sirius waiting. His mood seemed to mellow for a moment as I entered the room: he spoke, sounding a little dazed.
'Oh Merlin, you look beautiful, Mynee.' I smiled, though, the next second excited Sirius had returned. 'So! Let's go!' I laughed.
'Wait a second.' Sirius froze: I smirked, getting a little distracted as I stared at Sirius. 'Doesn't it get incredibly dull, being so damn hot all of the time?' There was a pause, before Sirius chuckled.
'Nope. I'm the sexy Marauder.' I smirked, before coming back to the subject I'd originally meant to address. I placed a concealment charm, called Perceptio Trabea, on Sirius and myself. This charm works as a perception shield, meaning James won't see us unless we draw attention to ourselves. Once the charm was in place, I told Sirius we could leave, meaning he grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the fireplace. There's a wizarding pub in Cokeworth, which is where Sirius and I flooed to. It's a little way out from Cokeworth's town centre, but the walk was pleasant: and we reached the roller disco rink 20 minutes later.
After we'd hired roller-skates, Sirius and I found a place to sit and put them on. I haven't been on roller-skates for a few years, but I had a pair as a young child, though, I wasn't too worried about falling, because I knew a good anti-stumbling spell. I hadn't warned Sirius about falling, meaning he soon jumped to his feet, and his skates shot out from under him. He landed squarely on his arse with a small scream. I laughed.
'Probably should've warned you.' I watched Sirius attempt to scramble to his feet, without much success, before deciding to help him. Sirius stared at me in amazement as I skated forward.
'How are you doing that?!' I laughed again.
'I've done this before. Hold still, I know a spell.' I cast the anti-stumbling spell on Sirius's skates, before helping him up. I think he's now scared to move, which made me smile. As a precaution, I cast the spell on my skates as well, before leading Sirius onto the rink. It didn't take long for Sirius to get comfortable, and soon we'd spotted James and Lily. Sirius was in stitches, watching James spend most of his time on the floor with Lily on top of him, because he keeps dragging her down. I've never seen James flush quite so red before, though, Lily seems to be enjoying this goofier, more vulnerable side of Messrs Prongs. Eventually, I took a moment to catch my breath, because all Sirius wanted to do was go faster and faster. I watched Sirius skate around the rink, showing off occasionally by doing twirls. He'd seen someone do a spin, and of course he immediately wanted to try. I'm glad Sirius is having fun.
'Mynee!' I was pulled from thought as Sirius, more or less, crashed into the barrier beside me. I laughed, whilst Sirius dragged me back onto the rink. We weren't paying attention this time though, and therefore, crashed straight into James and Lily... so much for not being seen. James wasn't happy to see us, meaning Sirius and I fled in fits of laughter, before Messrs Prongs exploded.
