Chapter 3: Yo Te Amo
"Accio Broom!" Sirius called. In a flash, his broom sat in front of them, hovering expectantly.
"Come on!" Sirius pulled Lily on behind him. With a zoom, they were off. Lily's stomach jolted at the speed they were going. Stars flashed by like laser beams. After a moment, Sirius slowed, and Lily realized they were atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. She was speechless. "Sirius, how did we get here so fast?" He grinned. "Secret." Lily drank in the lights of the city. "It's so pretty." Sirius slipped an arm around her shoulders as a chilly wind blew around them. "Lily," he said. She turned towards him. "Lily, you have to know something," he began. "Yes?" Lily inquired. "Lily, I love you," Sirius said in a rush. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Lily's eyes widened in obvious shock. Then in the boldest move Sirius had ever made, he bent down and kissed her on the lips.
Lily was still a little shaky as Sirius walked her to the door of the house she shared with a few friends from Hogwarts. "I need time to think about this," she said as they stopped in front of the front door. He smiled kindly. "It's OK. Take your time. I don't want to pressure you. I'll just be waiting. Good night, Lily." Lily gave him a small smile. "Good night, Sirius."
Sirius Apparated, broom over his shoulder, back to his apartment. Remus was relaxing in one of Sirius's armchairs, reading a book. He uncrossed his legs and slowly lowered the book, peering at Sirius with a detached curiosity that had driven females into conniptions back in school. "Gee, Moony, flirting with me?" Sirius commented sarcastically. Remus rolled his eyes. "How'd it go, Paddy?" Sirius sank onto the couch. "I kissed her." Cool forgotten, Remus leapt up. "And?" "Well, I don't know where we stand yet, but I did ask her to go out with me. She said she'd give me her answer soon." Remus exhaled. "That's. good. It's something." Suddenly, an owl flew in. Sirius went to check it. "For you, Moony," he reported, slightly disappointed. Remus grabbed the letter and scanned it. "Oh, great," he muttered. Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Mum, Remus explained. "She's got another one for me." Remus's parents, being impoverished, were always using Remus to attract rich girls and make connections with the higher-class. "Name's.Phoebe Matthews. She's," he mimicked in a high-pitched voice, "beautiful, brilliant, and by golly, a musician." Remus threw the letter down, looking disgusted. "Oh, she's going to be fun all right." He gave another deep sigh and grabbed his cloak from off the back of his chair. "I have to go, Padfoot." "Why?" Sirius asked in surprise. "Apparently, little miss Phoebe's playing the violin at some posh hotel. If I don't go, Mum kills me." Sirius glanced into the fire burning in his fireplace. "Don't have to worry about that." Remus nodded. "Lucky you."
Sorry this chapter's a little short. It looked a lot longer on paper :)
