Chapter Four: Four of a Kind
== Sirius ==
"Well done, mate," James said, clinking his bottle of butterbeer to mine. "I'm so proud of you, finally losing your girlphobia."
"What are you talking about? I never had girlphobia," I said defensively, taking a hard long swig of my butterbeer. "There just hasn't been any good catch that caught my eye."
"Yeah, well, that Arwen girl isn't bad at all," Remus said mildly. "Good job."
After Arwen had said "Hey, Sirius" to me in the Three Broomsticks two weekends ago at Hogsmeade, we had started talking more and more everyday, laughing and having crazy conversations. Finally, after a particular fun walk around the grounds, I had finally asked her out, and she accepted it.
"Whatever happened to Morisetti?" Peter asked. "I thought you were into her."
"Morisetti? I was never into Morisetti," I said loftily. "She just helped in getting James's Snitch."
After Arwen and I started talking, Morisetti and I had stopped. We'd occasionally say "Hi" to each other when we passed, but that was about it. Truth was, she'd been on my mind every night before I'd go to bed. But I was absolutely not attracted to her, as I kept telling myself.
"Pity," Peter shrugged. "She's quite good looking."
"Yeah, well, Arwen's better," I said.
"So when are you guys going out?" James asked.
"Next Hogsmeade trip," I answered. "Should be fun."
"Go get some," James said cheerily.
"Yeah!" we all raised our bottles and clinked them. "Cheers to that, mate."
==Aleesia==
"I can't believe he asked me out!" Arwen squealed, burying her face in her hands once more. "I never thought he ever would. Oh, he is SO good looking, right, Alee?"
"Right," I shrugged. I had to agree at least 30 times a day to keep her happy.
"I'm going to go down in history!" she beamed. "The first girl to ever date Sirius Black, best hottie in the school. Oh, this is the best day of my entire life!"
"Put a cork in it, Arwen," Mallory rolled her eyes. "Carry on and you'll go down in history as the prime idiot who dated Sirius Black."
"Jealousy," Arwen said happily. Not even Mallory's irritated remarks penetrated to her blissful brain.
I rolled my eyes. "As if Mallory could get jealous over anything but food."
Arwen tilted her head to the side and looked at me. "You know, Alee, I think you should get a boyfriend."
"Arwen's Guide To The Best Way Of Life," Mallory shook her head. "Step One: Get a Boyfriend. Step Two: Make Out. Step Three: Have the sex."
She didn't even pay attention. "You know who would be absolutely GREAT for you, Aleesia?"
"Who?" I asked casually. She was probably going to say Peter Pettigrew. I prepared my turn-down immediatly.
"Remus Lupin!" Arwen said excitedly.
"What?!" Both and I and Mallory, who had stopped counting the list of Arwen's Guide To The Best Way Of Life, looked at Arwen as if she were absolutely bonkers.
"Arwen, I think you've finally cracked," I said. "Lupin and me?!"
"Yeah!" Arwen replied. "You're both extremely smart, extremely sensible, and extremely good looking! What's not to match up?"
"Oh, so you and Black are extremely stupid, extremely crazy, and extremely ugly?" Mallory raised an eyebrow. "What a pair."
"I'll ask Sirius to ask Lupin," Arwen seemed pleased with herself. "And we could go on a double date next Hogsmeade trip! Oh, this will so great!"
"What am I, a fifth wheel?" Mallory demanded.
"We could get Potter or Pettigrew for you," Arwen waved her hand as if it weren't important. "What do you say?"
"Let's see, Potter's terrifically big-headed and Pettigrew worships him," Mallory raised an eyebrow. "This'll be interesting."
"Fine," I rolled my eyes. "But I'm only doing this for you, Arwen."
"Oh, thank you! You're the best!" Arwen said, hugging me.
I definetly did not have a good feeling about this.
(( The date is going to be in Chapter Four, with very interesting results. Sorry for the short chapter and the extreme ditziness of Arwen, but I tried to use Mallory to add more humour to cover up the girliness. ALSO--- I love reviews, so please review me, and I will definetly return the favor! Don't be afraid to criticize my work and tell me what I need to improve on. ^_^ ))
