Chap. 4.
Sirius walked slowly, lost in his thoughts, back from dropping kat off at the entrance to the ravenclaw common room. He couldn't help but wonder what he was doing wrong. Every other girl he had ever went after had given in easily. He had never been rejected. let alone insulted for his methods. There was something very attractive about Drea other than her looks.. Perhaps it was her wit. which amazingly was as sharp as his own. She wasn't the cold hearted wizard that her brother was.. She had substance. and he knew there was some warmth in there. but for him? Sure, he'd had loads of girlfriends in the past.. All beautiful.. All thought to be unobtainable. but yet he. the master, had gotten them. snogged them.and dropped in a weeks time. then he would move onto the next. like a hawk and its prey.
"hmmm... those eyes." Sirius sighed, running a strong hand through his soft jet black hair.
"If I didn't know better Sirius... I would think you were actually falling for her.." James's deep voice echoed off the walls of the empty corridor.
Sirius grinned.. "Prongs.. How nice of you to follow me without saying anything for 10 minutes..; quite creepy don't you think?"
James shrugged and took a large step to catch up with his partner in crime. They were still a ways from their common room and the torches were a bit dim.
"Sirius..." james started looking over at his friend. "You do know that when playing pranks. a marauder must never let his heart mix into matters right? Especially when it involves an enemies sister.. And our legacies at this school are on the line.."
Sirius looked up from his feet and over to james. studying him for a moment.
"Me Sirius black. actually fall for a girl.. You have got to be kidding me james. you know your best mate better then that.."
James gave a relieved smile and eased up the tension in his neck and face. "SO how did it go tonight? Better luck?"
Sirius gave an exhausted smile. " My ego has now been beaten to pulp that you could feed to flobber worms. and she hasn't warmed remotely up to me other then a small glance over he shoulder as she left me in shambles. By shambles I mean utter disbelief that once again I can not get her to want me. let alone get her to let me call her by her first name."
"More challenging then you expected eh?" james asked in one of his superior voices. " Not only has she cut my ego's legs from under it. she has let it fall in utter defeat. the only 2 people that can ever manage that... and rarely at that.. are you and remus... but her. yes her.. she is the first .. not only has she shot me down once god forbid. but twice! Sirius vented, shaking his head.
"It looks like the great Sirius black has finally met his match.." james said. mock triumph in his voice.
They reached the portrait hole and james whispered the password.
"Nicholas de mimsy porpington." the fat lady chuckled and swung open, letting them in.
"Dont worry chap... she'll break.she has to. my reputation is riding on this as well!!" james said, ascending the staircase
"Remus is really close to her.. they are always together doing things.. Always in the blasted library. he's going to help me somehow." Sirius said entering their dormitory.
"I hope so." james replied.
Sirius sighed heavily.. 'tomorrow is a new day.' he thought while undressing and getting into his 4 poster. ' maybe tomorrow will be my day..'
Drea lie awake in her 4 poster thinking.. But unfortunately it was not pleasant what she was entranced with thinking about.
"what does he think he is doing!! Honestly! He has to know who I am. I know all about him and james...and their rivalry with my brother lucius and his prat of a friend, snape. The only one that I can even stand out of any of them is Remus. Why must he associate with such. prats? Although... Sirius doesn't seem to be as bad as most say he is.."
Drea breathed. lost in a stream of never ending thoughts and conflicts. She'd had a boyfriend before.. And a wonderful one at that.. But of course her family had put an end to it all. He was a mudblood .. And her father would never stand for such a thing. love didn't matter to them. only that of following the darklord. Though she was an outcast in the family. she was still bound by the rules that they kept.
"Handsome... quick.. Witty.. But also... arrogant.. egotistical.. Sickenly sweet at times. what was he really playing at.?.. I know his reputation. and the countless girls, whose hearts he's broken. I will not be one of them... a boy like Sirius black will never have the substance, nor the strength to be with me. Why do I care so much about this!! Why cant I get him off my mind. oh bloody barons dirty knickers. this is insane." She thought... looking at the roof of her canopy.
"Give him a chance? Never.. Drea Malfoy is no mans prize or tool in some silly prank. But is it I who is being unreasonable? For I am judging him without even knowing him. I only know by what others have said..and he seem to be nothing like what is heard in the halls and in the whispers of giggling girls. Perhaps he deserves a chance." drea reasoned, silently drifting off to sleep..
She knew that tomorrow Sirius would try again.. And tomorrow just maybe. she would let him see a little bit of what she was really like.. Then again.. Maybe not.
Remus tapped his quill on the parchment.. Trying desperately to concentrate on the task at hand rather then the problems at heart. This was wrong.. Incredibly wrong.. its one thing to play with malfoy and snape... they deserve it... it's a complete other to play with a completely innocent heart.
He shook his head and put away his books and parchment. He obviously wasn't going to get anything done tonight. Whether it was right or wrong what the maruadrs did.. he would be involved.. Always loyal.. No matter what. But what if those you are loyal to.. Are going to hurt someone you are loyal to as well..
