"Okay, who did it?"
"What on earth are you talking about, Guen?" Morwenna Marchbanks asked her with an innocent smile that was easy to see through.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Guenevere replied looking around at the other girls' mischievous faces.
After receiving her little gift the night before, Guenevere had fallen asleep before she could consult the girls about who had brought it up. Obviously, it wasn't Sirius because the guys couldn't get up the girls staircase without having to climb on the walls.
"Which one of you brought that-that-thing up to my bed for him?" she pressed on.
"Oh, you mean that thoughtful, though incredibly corny, little gift?" Alice Longbottom asked slyly, "Well, we all kind of had a little to do with it-"
"But it was so sweet, not to mention the fact that I would never miss a chance to see Sirius Black apologize!" Diana exclaimed with hungry eyes.
"C'mon Guen, he really, really likes you! It would be unfair for you to not give him a chance." Lily begged, "Next time he asks you out, just agree to go out for one date. Just one!"
Guenevere looked around at the girls' pleading faces, trying to find some excuse but knowing that that there was none. "Fine!" she replied in defeat, "Fine!" she repeated waving her hands up in surrendering way. "Next time . . .but only one date!"
Next time was always very soon when it came to Sirius asking a girl out, especially with Guenevere.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Guenevere and the other four girls from her dorm sat eating their breakfast peacefully, reading their mail, and chatting a bit. Of course, Guenevere was trying to forget about her promise to her friends. In truth, she really did not like Sirius Black one bit. She did believe, though, that if somehow she could see through the arrogance that he flaunted so much, she could possibly like him as much as so many other girls did. Sure, he was a charming guy, quite attractive, and he had a wonderful personality when it came right down to it. But Guenevere was like a delicate flower, she was afraid of getting hurt again, afraid of being deserted. Finally, she came to the conclusion that one date might not be so bad.
Too soon for Guenevere, Sirius showed up talking animatedly to Peter and James. Remus followed quietly behind them with a book up to his face, though he seemed to know where he was going. They sat themselves down opposite Lily and Alice and continued with their discussion while Remus continued reading.
"What's that your reading, Remus?" Guenevere asked him, remembering their discussion the previous night.
"Oh, It's just some extra studying for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Lichen suggested it. It's about some guy who went out to find dark stuff, you know, to help people. I think he's gonna die though."
"That's nice . . . ." Guenevere replied, not really interested.
As breakfast came to an end, Guenevere waited for Sirius to begin his routine. He never did. This left Guenevere feeling slightly disappointed but she came to her senses quickly and realized that she had not wanted to go out with him anyway. Still, it came as a surprise to her and her friends.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Days passed, maybe even a week or two, Guenevere couldn't tell. The excitement that was dawning over the castle as the winter holidays grew nearer kept time off of everyone's mind. Guenevere and her friends had forgotten all about Sirius asking her out, as he hadn't really talked much to her for a while. Guenevere wondered if perhaps he had suddenly lost interest in her or if he had just decided to change for some reason. Indeed, he did seem less flirtatious with not only her, but also all of the girls at school. Also, the few times that he did talk to her, he had a strange politeness to him that Guenevere wanted so badly to be sincere. If it was sincere, Guenevere would have trouble finding one thing wrong with him.
It was the day before break and Guenevere was sitting on her bed watching all of her friends pack for home. She herself was staying because she didn't want to deal with her mother's bickering over the slightest things. Guenevere was afraid of staying in the dormitory by herself. She knew that there would be other people staying but she didn't want to sleep in a bedroom all on her own.
As Guenevere went ahead of her friends and descended the staircase to the common room to go to dinner, she captured a few whispered words from the room she had just left.
"I wonder if she notices," that was Alice's voice.
"She must! The whole school has," Lily whispered. Guenevere realized that they must have been talking about her so she did what any normal person would do: she listened.
"He really can be a sweetheart, you know. It's so cute!" Diana said quietly.
"It's almost sick! I mean, Sirius Black acting like some regular guy? Scary." Morwenna said.
"But that just shows how much he likes her! He's willing to change just because she doesn't like his arrogance," Lily said dreamily, "We're matchmakers!"
Guenevere was wondering what she meant by that last statement but was informed by the next one. "I just told him that she wasn't exactly fond of how he was just after her for a good necking and that he should probably stop being so obsessed with himself!" Alice said modestly, "And I told him that if he wanted to go out with her, he was gonna have to change a great deal for the school to see or she would see right through it."
Guenevere had heard enough. Her friends were trying to hook her up with Sirius behind her back. They had told him to change so that they would get together. She was glad she knew. Now she understood that it was all an act.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Her friends had left for break and she had seen them off at Hogsmead station that morning. She hadn't mentioned anything about what she heard because she didn't want them to leave for Christmas Vacation on unfriendly terms. She was just entering the common room when she heard a loud 'BANG'. Sirius and Peter were playing Exploding Snap by the entrance and the explosion had caught her robes on fire. Startled, Sirius jumped in to put the fire out at the hem of her robes, apologizing profusely.
"I'm so sorry, Guen. We shouldn't have been playing near the portrait hole." He exclaimed as he patted the fire out of her robes. Guenevere could tell that this polite behavior had only just started when she walked into the room. Sure enough he said, "I didn't know you were staying for vacation."
"You can cut the crap, Black. I know all about you talking to Alice." She stated with malice in her voice. Sirius stared after her as she sat on the couch and took a book out of her bag. Remus was sitting on the couch also but she didn't notice until he spoke, "He really is trying. It's almost frightening."
Guenevere ignored that comment and asked, "Where's James?"
"He went home. He's going to meet Lily's family and she's going to meet his." He answered.
"That's so sweet . . . they are really cute together."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** You may have noticed that I made Peter closer to James and Sirius than I did Remus. This is because in the third book Sirius said that he thought Remus was the spy instead of Peter, which lead me to believe that they were a bit closer to Peter. If you have any objections, feel free to review with them!
I realize that this story is going kinda slow but the next chapter will probably hold the real romance!
Thanks again to all my reviewers. You are all so kind.
