Chapter 8
September 5th
Evidently Lily and James had run straight up to the boys' dorms and told Remus and Peter about Raven and Sirius's little kiss. When Raven and Sirius stepped out of Lucy's portrait, they were all waiting for them. They walked in silence to the Great Hall for breakfast and sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"So, are you guys like a couple now?" Remus broke the silence.
Raven and Sirius looked at each other and then shrugged.
Peter tapped Remus on the shoulder and whispered, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"I have no idea," he replied.
The rest of the day was pretty much the same; Raven and Sirius trying to act normal while the rest of the gang were trying to get some answers. After dinner, they all went up to their rooms to get ready to leave for the club. Raven had already left on her broomstick, so the rest went to find the portkey. At the club, Raven and the rest of the dancers were already on stage doing their opening number. Raven had made up the choreography so that there was a guy for each girl and they danced together doing some of her dance moves. After the song, Raven came over to say hi to the gang.
"That's the new dance you had to teach them?" Sirius asked
"Yeah. I made it up myself. Did you like it?"
"Who the hell was that guy?"
"What guy?" Raven asked, puzzled.
"Uh, the guy you were dancin all over!"
"What? That's Xan. He's one of my dancers."
"Well, what the hell was goin on?"
"Sirius, what are you talking about? We were just dancing."
"You don't dance with me like that."
"That's because you never ask me to dance!"
"Maybe I would if I knew you were gonna do that!"
Raven scoffed. "Okay, if you're gonna be with me, you're gonna hafta accept that this is what I do. I like choreographing dance moves along with the music. It looks better on stage if you act out the lyrics. There's nothing going on between me and Alexander or any of the other dancers. I'm not gonna stop dancing just because you get jealous. If you wanna learn the hard way, you can learn the hard way, like James did.
"Oh shit!" said James.
"What's the hard way?" Sirius asked.
"It's... It's-it's harder than the easy way, okay?"
"Bring it on," Sirius replied.
Raven smiled, deviously, "You asked for it."
She walked to the back of the club and told the DJ to turn the treble down so she could sing it herself. "I'm A Slave 4 U" started and Raven sang, "I know I may be young, but I've got feelings, too. And I need to do what I feel like doin. So, let me go, and just listen. All you people look at me like I'm a little girl. Well, did you ever think it'd be okay for me to step into this world. Always sayin 'Little girl, don't step into the club.' Well, I'm just tryin to find out why cuz dancin's what I love. I know I may come off quiet; I may come off shy. But I feel like talkin, feel like dancin when I see this guy. What's practical is logical. What the hell, who cares? All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancin there. I'm a slave for you. I cannot hold it. I cannot control it. I'm a slave for you. I won't deny it. I'm not tryin to hide it, baby..." The song ended with a stare down between Sirius and Raven. Then, Sirius quickly pulled Raven towards him and kissed her... with tongue. Raven gave in for a few seconds, but then got her senses back. She carefully pushed Sirius away, remembering not to ruin their scam.
"Does this mean you liked the song?" said Raven, forcing a pretty convincing, yet fake smile.
"Loved it," replied Sirius flashing a what-are-you-gonna-do-about-it-in- front-of-everyone-else smirk at her.
Raven took his hand and led him into the dressing rooms. When she was sure they were out of earshot, she slammed Sirius hard against the door, closing it, her blue eyes turning to ice.
"Ah! What the fuck?!" he yelled.
"Uh, no Sirius, that would be my line. Why the hell did you do that?" she growled.
"I-I don't know! Because I'm a guy!" stuttered Sirius, surprised by her rage.
"Oh, that better not have been an attempt at humor, because this is not a funny situation, especially for you. I thought we agreed that we kissed once. First of all, that was our second, completely unnecessary kiss, and secondly, your fucking tongue was in my mouth!"
"I just love how you used perfect English when you're angry."
"Don't! Don't you dare try that now! I'm this close to giving you a new vocabulary."
"Okay, okay. Calm down, Rave. Jesus, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were gonna go this ballistic, believe me."
With that, Raven's fury softened. "I guess I am overreacting a little bit. I mean, it was just a kiss. I'm sure you just thought it would help our scam, and I-"
"-That's not why I kissed you, though. I kissed you because I wanted to," said Sirius smoothly.
Raven rolled her eyes and let out a laugh. "You're such a player!"
Sirius smiled, "But, baby, I don't wanna be a playa no more."
"Yeah, you're not a playa, you just crush a lot."
"You know it, crush on you. I know you liked that kiss."
Raven looked up at Sirius and smiled. "Sirius, this may not be the best time to tell you this, but-"
"Don't worry, beautiful. You can tell me."
Raven laughed. "Okay... I wanna break up."
"What?! We can't break up!"
"Oh yes we can!"
"Come on, Raven, we just made out in front of 'em, and now we're gonna break up? I don't think so."
Raven sighed, knowing Sirius was right. "Fine, but we're breaking up tomorrow."
"If that's what you really want," coaxed Sirius.
"Oh, it is! And by the way, if you even try to kiss me one more time, I swear to God, Sirius, your tongue isn't all you're gonna lose."
"Shit!"
After Sirius and Raven had rejoined their friends, "Hungry Eyes" came on.
"Hey, Rave, it's the Dirty Dancing song!" said James, winking at her. "She loves that movie."
"Mm-hmm. Patrick Swayze was my first love," she agreed.
"Well then we gotta dance," Sirius said, pulling her onto the dance floor.
Raven and Sirius started slow dancing. "I've been meaning to tell you. I've got this feeling that won't subside. I look at you and I fantasize you're mine tonight. Now I've got you in my sights, with these, hungry eyes." When the chorus began, Sirius spun Raven around and started the steps they do in Dirty Dancing. Raven knew the steps, too and they kept going, just like in the movie. "One look at you and I can't disguise I've got, hungry eyes. Now did I take you by surprise." After the chorus was over, they returned to dancing normally.
"Holy shit, Sirius! You know these moves? Where the hell did you learn this?" Raven exclaimed.
"One of my first girlfriends loved Dirty Dancing, too. So, I learned the moves to surprise her on her birthday."
"You?" Raven asked. "But that's so sweet!"
"Uh, not sweet. She broke up with me two days before her birthday."
Raven gasped. "Really? That could be the saddest thing I've ever heard!"
"Yeah, no kidding. But, I'm over it."
Raven all of a sudden started cracking up.
"What?"
"Sometimes I just think things that are funny," she replied.
"Well, tell me!"
"She broke up with you before this song, and I'm breaking up with you tomorrow!"
Sirius laughed. "I know, you're such a bitch!"
"This wouldn't be some ploy to keep me from dumping you, would it?"
"...Maybe," Sirius teased.
"Well, you'd better be careful. A girl could get used to this. I'm gonna be callin you Johnny now!"
"As long as you let me call you Baby, baby."
The song continued, "I wanna hold you so hear me out. I wanna show you what love's all about. Darlin, tonight. Now I've got you in my sights with these, hungry eyes. One look at you and I can't disguise I've got, hungry eyes. Now did I take you by surprise. I need you to see: this love was meant to be..."
After a night of dancing and having fun, everyone was beat on their way back up to Gryffindor Tower. Raven, of course, could just fly right into her bedroom window, but the rest of them had to walk all the way across Hogwarts grounds, through the castle and up all those stairs to get back to safety. Granted, they had James' and Raven's invisibility cloaks, but it was still hard to tuck all body parts safely underneath. Dumbledore had said that James, Peter, and Remus could go to watch Raven but he never said anything about Lily and Sirius. When they got to their common room, it was empty.
"I'm gonna go say goodnight to Rave," said Sirius.
"Okay. Tell her she did a wonderful job tonight."
"I will."
The rest of the gang went up to their dormitories and Sirius went to Raven's room. The portrait opened for him, and he stepped in, but Raven was nowhere to be seen.
"Rave?"
"Yeah?" came her voice.
"Where are you?"
"Right here," she said, walking into the room with her hair wet, and a towel around her body.
Sirius stared at her. "Uh, are you trying to get me hot?"
"What? You've seen me a lot more naked than this."
"Yeah, and I liked it."
Raven rolled her eyes. "Okay... Keep your pants on; I'm getting dressed."
"So, how are we gonna break up tomorrow?"
"I dunno, but the way James is looking at us every time we're together is starting to scare me. We better break up before they make us get married or something."
"Good idea! Okay, so we'll just get in a fight or something again?"
"Works for me."
"Great. Well, I'm goin to bed," he said, as he headed for the door.
"Oh, by the way, Sirius..."
He turned back around, "Yeah?"
"If I was tryin to make you hot you'd know it, alright?"
Sirius smiled, "Alrighty. Hey, Rave?"
"What?" Raven spun around in her chair.
"How about a goodnight kiss?"
"Excuse me?"
"Well, ya know, we're breaking up tomorrow. We might not get another chance," said Sirius, walking back over to her.
Raven thought for a minute. "I suppose."
Sirius bent down and lightly kissed her one more time.
"You're either very smart or very chicken," she said because he hadn't tried to make it anything more.
"Why can't I be both?" he said as he stepped out of her room. A/N: HOPE YOU LIKED IT. PLEASE, REVIEW!
