It was wonderful to be back at Hogwarts again. Lily and James, Remus and Melanie, Sirius and Cayte, as well as Peter, all of them were having a blast and glad to be back together. The month of January passed by quickly, and soon they found February was around the corner and waiting to meet them.
February 1
Wow. This has been so great. Sirius is being as sweet as possible and I love it. He's perfect, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Ever since New Years Day, when I got home and found one of his pillow cases in my bag I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. I mean, how clever is that. I guess he knew that I love the way he smells... Something about it is just so wonderful. And he's been so great, always joking around about 'Siricakes' and how really he one, James was under the power of Lilification (Being hypnotized by Lily's presence, apparently it happens all the time) so he didn't know what he was doing.
I can't believe its February. That's just wrong. It really does seem like last week that we were coming back to Hogwarts from break.. A note to self: Check up information on Jason Mraz. Great CD so I wanna know about him. I suppose this is all I can write for now. Though..
So I've been thinking that Sirius will most definitely be my first real kiss. I know it sounds so cheesy but it's so great. He refuses to let us move fast, and if it ever seems like I might want to do something I would regret, he won't let me. That's why I think he's so great. I asked him once how he would know that I was ready to kiss him. He told me that we would both just know, either from a look in one another's eyes, or verbally, that it didn't matter we would know. I want to know what that feels like, just knowing..
Cayte
As Cayte wrote, Sirius was in the library studying things, but not your ordinary how-to-become-an-animagus things. These were things for Valentines Day. Something a bit more important to him. Sirius was deep into reading up on charms that would make hearts appear around her bed, and how to transfigure her bed into a bed or roses when James walked up.
"Buddy, what are you doing in here, we already know how to become animagi," James whispered.
Sirius looked at him and rolled his eyes, "Valentines Day is in 13 days now, I've got to come up with something to do for Cayte."
James looked a bit scared, "You're actually planning ahead? Why not wait until the day before to plan the thing like every other guy?"
"Because this is her first V-day with a boyfriend and I want it to be special for her. I want it to be one to remember."
Back in the girls' dorm, Lily walked into the room. "Hey, what's up? How come your not with Siri?"
"Oh, I don't know where he is, and I felt like writing.about him actually."
Lily sprawled out on her bed, "Oooh, dish. What's going on between you two that you need to write about?"
"Nothing. I was just thinking about how I've never kissed him, and how it seems like I should have."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, I mean- Not that it seems like I should have, just that I can tell he wants to but he's holding back."
"Ok.So explain that to me too."
"There's a wanting.I can tell, just the way he acts sometimes it's like he's not being himself, he's holding something back, and I think that's what it is."
"Oh," Lily said awkwardly, "Wanna know what I'm getting James for Valentines Day?"
"Um. I guess." The whole school was hyped up about Valentines Day this year, and Cayte was sick of hearing about it. She wouldn't normally be that annoyed; it was just that she didn't know what to get Sirius.
"Ok, so I was thinking that I would get him some CD's. There's one problem, I don't know where to buy them or what to buy him," Lily said, begging for Cayte's help with out really asking.
"Well." Cayte though about this, "I propose a trade. I, knowing what type of music he might like help you with your purchase, and you, being you, help me to find something for my Siri Babe," Cayte said, excitedly.
"Deal.And Siri Babe?"
Cayte felt herself go a bit red, "Well everyone else has taken to calling him Siri, so I came up with a new name."
It was about a week later when everyone else realized that Valentines day was vastly approaching. Suddenly Melanie was in a flurry to figure out what exactly would be wonderful for Remus, and Remus was asking Cayte and Lily what to get her. The whole school was freaking out about the upcoming holiday. Rumors had it that Dumbledore would pull another surprise dance, but only the first years were falling for that.
Cayte was sitting on her bed writing with her headphones on. "I think I know what I want to get Siri. He always did want a Dave Matthews Band CD, so why not give one to him. And I know that that's not enough, but I think there's something else I can do. Though I'm not sure. I think I can, and I think it would work. Hell, why not. I mean if I don't give it to him now, when? 'Don't burn the day' DMB says, so why shouldn't I.."
Sirius was sitting in the library writing and humming a song from Aida to himself. "So I know what I want to do for Cayte. It's going to rock. I can't say here. Too many people and who knows, someone may find this. I can't have someone knowing and telling her. It's gonna be amazing though. I'm sure of that. I will say this, dinner at the tree, not in the Great Hall. I think it will be wonderful.."
James was still procrastinating on what to do for Lily. He was the epitome of a guy on a holiday. He kept saying that it would come to him sometime in a brilliant moment of inspiration.
~*~ Valentines Day ~*~
Cayte turned over on her bed, she wanted to keep sleeping but, knew it wasn't possible to do, as she had school that day. She sat up and pulled the curtain from her bed, and reached for a glass of water only to find when drinking it that it was red. She stood up quickly, freaking out, and looked around her. Her bed was covered in rose petals, and the area surrounding it had hearts floating around. She spotted one that was large with a note tied to it and grabbed it.
"My dearest Cayte,
Today, our first Valentines Day, will be filled with surprises. I hope you find it as wonderful as I find you. Your smile lights up any room that you walk into, and it makes me so happy to know that some of your smile might be directed at me. I wish there was more that I could say to express my feelings for you, but I just cannot find the words to do so. Please know that you are so special to me.
Yours,
Sirius
Cayte blushed at his note. "He's so sweet' she whispered to herself before getting dressed and heading downstairs. She curled up onto one of the couches by the fire and waited for the rest of her friends to join her. It didn't take long for Lily to come downstairs, followed closely by James, who was still striving to come up with something to give her. Soon Remus came down to wait for Melanie, who quickly grabbed his hand when seeing him. At last all of the Gryffindors were in the commons room, laughing and talking, but Sirius was still not there. Students started to file out and James, Lily, Remus, Melanie, and Peter all decided to go down to the Great Hall while Cayte stayed and waited for Sirius.
It was about five minutes later that he came down. Cayte stood up and walked towards the stairs smiling at him. Looking up into his eyes, as she always did in the morning, she saw not the bright blue round iris' that she was used to, but ones shaped like hearts. "I've only got eyes for you," he said chuckling. "No one else will see these, only the person that I truly like with all my heart will. That obviously means you." He smiled as Cayte reached her arms around his neck and gave him a big hug.
"I can't believe you. It's so wonderful. Everything, the flowers, the hearts, you, everything Siri Babe. All of it!"
They headed down to breakfast and then off to their classes. It was getting closer and closer to dinner time, and Sirius still hadn't told Cayte that they were eating at the tree, and James still hadn't gotten to get something for Lily ("Over the weekend, I'll-I'll take you to dinner!"). Cayte was in her room trying to organize her thoughts, and the gift she was giving to Sirius. "Wow! Today has been great," she though to herself, " What with the waking up with the note and the flowers, and then the whole eye thing. Though I hope that's gone soon, it's starting to creep me out." Cayte listened carefully and heard Sirius' fast pop that meant he was running up the stairs. "They all have a certain sound. See, Lily's coming up, and she's mad. The somehow soft but firm thud is her. And Siri Babe is always the fast pop, never slow and always the same sound. So reliable.." Cayte was suddenly shaken from her reverie by Sirius' head popping through the door. He came to sit on the bed and talk to her.
"Hey! Listen we're not going to the Great Hall for dinn-" Lily had walked in yelling.
"Damn boys! James is such and idiot! He didn't even think about Valentines Day and now he's trying to make up for it. Sirius! How could you let him do this to me? Huh? I though we were friends.."
"Lily.I hate to say it, but what your boyfriend and my best friend do for someone else, usually isn't a great conversation. Yeah, he teased me about doing things for Cayte so early, and I just shrugged and figured he'd deal with stuff his own way. Now to go on before I was so 'rudely' interrupted."
"Er.sorry."
"There it goes again!" Lily walked out of the room, which was just what Sirius wanted her to do. "We are not going to be joining everyone else in the Great Hall for dinner this wonderful evening. No, we will be dining by the tree, our own special spot, so we can enjoy what is so wonderfully special to us, us!"
Cayte laughed. "Oh my Siri, no wonder I can't get enough of you!"
"Same to you my dear," he said laughing, "I just wanted to inform you of that, meet me at 6-ish in the commons room and we'll head down. That sound ok?"
"Of course it does! Tell Lily to come in here, I think I should talk to her."
"Of course My Little Gingersnap, anything else I can do?" Sirius chuckled at the name that was now more than a joke than ever.
"Nah, just get Lily!"
Sirius left and Lily arrived. She and Cayte spoke of James' idiocy, and how Sirius was being great. Soon enough it was almost six and Cayte wanted to change out of her school robes. She met Sirius down in the commons room and he told her to go on out to the tree, that he had to get some things.
About five minutes after he arrived carrying a picnic basket and a blanket. The sun was setting over the lake, which created a beautiful site for them to watch while eating their abundant supply of food.
"Well, how has your first Valentine's Day been?" Sirius asked.
"Great, though it's not my first. I'm just glad those heart things are gone, its hard to look at you when they're there."
"You didn't like them? Aw, well, I know what not to do next year!"
"It's sweet, but you look at someone in they eyes all day and see hearts and NOT laugh!"
When they finished eating, Sirius pulled out a black square box and handed it to Cayte. "Oh, Crap! I forgot to get your present! Accio present," Cayte said, and saw Sirius' gift coming towards her.
"Go ahead and open it," Sirius said, motioning towards the box. Cayte lifted the lid and saw a charm bracelet of sorts. It was silver with links that connected, and each link had something on it. Sirius scooted closer to Cayte and lifted the bracelet.
Pointing towards the first link he saw he said, "This is the American flag, for your birth place," Then he pointed to the next three charms which read 'DMB', "for your favorite band." Cayte was smiling so big, it was so thoughtful of him. He pointed to the link after that, "The British flag, for what will hopefully be a home away from home in Scotland," he leaned in closer to her and said, "the next four, CSNY are for Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young, followed by the music notes which are self explanatory." The rest of the charms were 'GD' for Grateful Dead, a star and 'Guster' for the band. Cayte and Sirius were sitting closely and Cayte put her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you so much!" she said, then picking her head and grabbing the wrapped present for him. "It's so thoughtful of you, and wonderful! Open yours, it's not quite so brilliant, but I think you'll like it."
Sirius tore off the wrapping paper to find a copy of Cayte favorite Dave Matthews Band CD, one that he had borrowed quite a few times. "Awesome! That is great," he said, looking over at Cayte. She lifted her head to look in his eyes. There was something that passed between them that only they could understand. Slowly, they both leaned in and their lips met.
When they pulled apart, Sirius looked at Cayte in awe, "That was the best Valentines Day present I have ever gotten." Cayte agreed. He pulled her up and held her and they both looked at the stars until it was time to go inside. When they got to the girls' dorm Sirius pulled Cayte close again and whispered, "Thank you for the gifts, they are wonderful," then he kissed her again.
AN: I'm terribly sorry for the wait, it's just that I can only write so much fluff at a time and there was some definite fluff in this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it! REVIEW!
