-Nothing More- part 2
When Sirius descended the staircase he stopped halfway and gripped the handrail a bit tighter than usual. He sighed deeply and closed his eyes, imagining the 'accident' earlier. He shook himself from these thoughts and muttered to himself,
"Ok Sirius, you can do this. There was nothing wrong with the kiss, it was an accident after all. Just act normal."
He took another deep breath, smoothed out his robes and once again proceeded towards the common room. He stopped at almost every step to mutter this to himself, until he realized that he was beginning to hold up other students.
"Hey Black! Can't you talk to yourself in the common room?" Steve Bittigham a Gryffindor 7th year and the house bully yelled a few students behind him as his 'posse' snickered, "Maybe then the girls will see that you're nothing more than a crazy punk with a pretty face."
Sirius turned around and replied with the deepest hint of 'sincerity' in his voice, "Well, maybe you should try it sometime. It seems to be working for me, maybe you'll actually be able to get a girl to approach you then, don't you think Steve?" He smiled with satisfaction when Steve's face slowly turned red with anger at his comment.
"Sirius Black!" He screamed enraged..
"Yes?" He replied with just a hint of sarcasm....
"Just....... get out of my way!!" He pushed about 3 students aside and disappeared into the common room.
"Gosh, what a dick....." Sirius remarked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The instant Sirius reached the common room Remus knew he'd arrived. Not because he saw him or anything, but because he could hear the girls' daily attempt at trying to get his attention.
"Good morning Sirius!" A group of 4th years called to the dark-haired boy.
"Good morning girls...." He'd smile politely and wave back. They'd all then sigh dreamily as if they saw a movie star. At about the same time a dozen other girls would start hyperventilating or giggling madly. Quite annoying actually. This was one of the major reasons Sirius starting hating mornings. Everyday, basically since he hit puberty, it was "Oh Sirius! You're so cute!" or "Sirius! You think you could eat lunch with me sometime?!"
All he wanted to do was go to class, hang out with friends and basically live life without all the girls pursuing him constantly. When he was finally able to reach Remus he said, "I don't really look THAT good, do I Moony?"
Remus finally uncovered his face to look up at Sirius and laugh. "I'm guessing they just don't see what I do."
"And what exactly is it that you see?" Sirius winked as he pretended to strike a pose.
Remus just smiled wider and winked himself, "What I see, is a sarcastic, trouble-making best friend of mine. Not the incredibly charming stud that they see....."
"Well, how would you know that they see me as an incredibly charming stud Remus? Can your keen senses figure out girls too?"
"Oh, how I wish!" Remus replied jokingly. Both him and Sirius were laughing until Remus noticed a girl approaching. "Speak of the devil Padfoot, that 6th year Emily Hall is coming this way."
"What?!"
"Look for yourself..." Remus grabbed Sirius by the shoulders and turned him around to face the blushing girl.
"Uh...Hi Sirius...." She stopped a few feet away from them, "And you too Remus." She waved over the tall boy's shoulder.
Both boys replied almost in unison, "Good morning Emily."
She smiled nervously. Despite the fact that she was almost a year older Sirius towered at least 6 inches above her. She looked up into his blue eyes, and opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. The whole common room fell into silence when one girl announced "Look everyone! Emily's talking to Sirius!"
The two boys could feel all the eyes that were on them. Being watched, it made them feel like they were in trouble. Finally, Emily attempted to speak again. She opened her mouth,
"............*squeak*"
A look of horror appeared on her face when she squeaked. The whole room burst into tiny giggle fits, and even though he wanted to laugh as well, Sirius controlled himself. He walked up and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Emily, you are really nice and all, but if you can't talk to me, then I can't go out with you. Try again when you can talk to me, ok?" He smiled as she nodded and ran back up to the girls' dormitory, her face red with embarrassment.
Once she disappeared up the flight of stairs Sirius faced Remus again and practically threw his head back and laughed. Despite the fact he was laughing earlier, Remus frowned at how much Sirius was making fun of this. After a couple of minutes of Sirius' continuos cackling he had to speak,
"That is a over-doing it a little don't you think Padfoot?" Remus had his arms crossed and was tapping his foot. Instantly Sirius stopped and gave his friend a serious look.
"Fine, I could ask her to come back down and I could accept her.... squeak of an offer...." Sirius covered his mouth to hold back a laugh.
Remus glared slightly, "Not funny Sirius......" He turned towards the exit.
"Aw...Don't be like that Reemy-baby!" Sirius walked after Remus, "You know that no girl could steal me from you!"
Even though Remus knew that he had meant this jokingly, deep-down he couldn't help but think he meant it to some degree. He pushed open the Fat Lady portrait and turned in the direction of the great hall, Sirius trailing behind him, still talking.....
"Please don't be like that Reemy! You know how much I hate it when you're mad!" Sirius called as he finally caught up and linked arms with him. Still not ready to forgive, Remus pulled out his wand and put it up to Sirius' chin.
"Don't make me hex you now, Siri-baby!" Remus said with a slight hint of a death glare involved.
"Ok, ok...." Sirius put his hands up as to surrender, "You know Moony, that kinda crap that you pull makes me think you have another side to you...."
"I do have another side. You know, it kinda comes out every full moon...."
"I meant like a split-personality or another secret, not your 'special secret'...."
Remus pondered this for awhile. Maybe he did have another secret, he just wasn't sure yet.
They continued walking in silence after that comment. Walking side-by-side. Remus walked close to the wall to avoid people, but Sirius kept constantly having to wave hello to random girls in the hall. A few more attempted to ask him out again, but only rejection occurred. Remus for some reason was astonished by this.
"Sirius...."
"Yea?" He looked at his shorter light-haired companion.
"First off, I'm sorry for making a big deal about Emily."
"No biggie, I was a bit harsh though....." Sirius scratched his chin, "I'll apologize later just to make you happy ok?" He smiled.
"There's no need for that. I just wanted to ask you a question...."
"Fire away...."
"Well, you have girls left and right practically begging to be your girlfriend, but you haven't had a single one since that Stephanie girl in our 3rd year. Why?"
"Why?" Sirius seemed a little bit upset at that question, "Why? That's all everyone asks me is why?!"
"Sirius...calm down.....I didn't mean why....."
"Why weren't you put into Slytherin?!" Sirius mocked his parents, "Why don't you try to please Mother and Father?" Sirius then quoted his brother.
"Sirius...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"I don't know why okay?!" Sirius screamed as he pushed Remus against the wall. His voice echoed down the halls and frightened Remus, "I don't have a girlfriend because I don't need, or want one for that matter!"
"Sirius......I....... didn't know that you could act this way......" Remus mumbled with tears forming in his eyes. Sirius' expression softened when he noticed this.
"Moony......." He muttered under his breath, "I didn't mean to yell at you."
It was too late for apologies though. Remus hugged Sirius and buried his face in his shoulder and started crying his eyes out. "I'm sorry for asking Sirius, and I'm sorry that I cry so easily......"
Sirius squeezed him tightly and petted the back of his head trying to comfort him, "Sh....It's ok. You'll grow out of it soon."
"Why do you always have to be funny Sirius?...." Remus hiccuped into Sirius' now wet shoulder.
"Because...." Sirius replied as he pulled Remus' red, tear-soaked face from his body, "I have to keep my friends like you happy, because your happiness is mine...."
'His happiness was mine...' The words kept swirling in Remus' head along with images of Sirius' and the little kiss that occurred earlier this morning. He didn't know what was happening to him, maybe it was hormones or hunger, but he had the sudden urge to lean into Sirius and softly press his lips against his, and before he knew it......he was.......
"I'm sorry Padfoot....." Remus cried as he ran away from a shocked Sirius.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, I'm sorry that chapter was a bit shorter than I expected. I kinda surprised myself when I wrote this. It kinda got mushy towards the end, oh well! I like mushy sometimes......
Oh yeah and I'm sorry Fina and Emma! I don't think the rescue will take place next chappie, depending on what you guys decide below will determine when the rescue is.....
Well, I have to request something from you guys this time, k? I need your opinion or else this will never get updated (in saying that I mean it'll take me forever ^_^;;)....Please choose option #1 or #2.....
1. I want this to cover their classes that day and then the Quidditch match.....
OR
2. I want this to skip their classes that day and get straight to the Quidditch match....
Please leave your vote in your review and note that with option 1 the story will be longer (but only by 2 chappies), but with 2 we get pretty much straight to the rescue! ^_^ hehe....
Once again, thank you for reading and please review it's greatly appreciated! Until next time! Ja ne! ^_^
