Chapter 8:
Sirius rummaged around his side of the dormitory looking desperately for a brush. He hadn't used one in ages, so he doubted he would find it any time soon.
"Aha!" he grunted triumphantly, pulling it out of what looked to be a once clean and unmoldy sock.
"That's disgusting mate." James murmured through a mouth full of cake.
Sirius smiled victoriously as he wiped off the rather rampant fungi and continued to brush his hair. He looked in the mirror, surveying himself quickly, then turned to Remus and James, who were now both stuffing their faces with cakes.
"Well??" He asked, holding his arms out so they could get the full effect of his outfit.
"What?" James asked, spitting bits of cakes everywhere, including on Remus.
"What do you think? Dashing? Still casual like I don't really have a care about it?" Sirius asked in a concerned fashion.
James grinned, and then laughed, still spitting crumbs everywhere. He looked Sirius over very carefully, wondering what in the name of Merlin's beard he was shooting for.
Sirius was dressed in his black school pants, a white collared shirt that was unbuttoned at the top, his school tie undone and hanging around his neck, and amusingly enough a pair of tan sandals. His hair was tousled and falling all about around his face, flipping out in every direction. While his eyes were a great deal more blue than usual.
"Well. if you want the honest truth, the sandals look rather ridiculous. Other than that you seem to look alright. Why are you so concerned about it?" James finally answered his mouth now dry from hastily swallowing the spongy material.
"Er. well. I'm off now! Don't wait up for me." Sirius said in a rather quick voice, swiftly making to exit the room, only stopping briefly to change his shoes.
Remus and James watched as Sirius exited the room, then turned to one and other.
"Where do you think he's off to?" James asked Remus.
"Haven't a clue." Remus replied looking down at the pile of cakes he still hadn't devoured in front of him.
"Wait, I believe he has a secret rendezvous with the lovely Ms. Malfoy. Which place do you think he's chosen to meet her? Divination Tower?"
"No used that one last week. Possibly the Kitchen? You know how he adores food." Remus replied, trying to act as carefree as possible.
"No, the kitchen is too casual, Sirius is going for a bit more then chatting tonight, I believe. I say the Astronomy Tower. Quiet, romantic, everyone knows that's his favorite place to take his girls." James stated matter of factly.
Remus sighed, picking at one of the cakes with his index finger. He couldn't let this get to him. Sirius had won. He had won without even knowing he had competition. The thing that tormented Remus most, was not that Sirius had gotten the girl,but that he would not have won her over if Remus had not lied for him. If Remus had not lost his nerve and integrity.

Sirius walked swiftly through the dark halls of the castle, listening closely for any sudden movement that might get him caught for being out past curfew. He sped up his pace even faster, turning sharply at a staircase and half jogging up it. He turned the corner and ascended another staircase, and then another, and then yes. one more. Finally he reached a large wooden door. He took a deep breath, harnessed his courage and opened it.
"Impressive, right on time for once." A cool but still pleasant voice floated through the air.
Sirius smiled slightly to himself as he slipped a hand into his pocket and pulled out his wand.
"Lumos," Sirius whispered, watching as the room lit up to reveal a rather stunning Drea Malfoy.
Drea too brandished her wand, then proceeded to walk over to where 3 unlit torches sat in the wall.
"Incendio," she murmured, lighting each of the torches, then proceeding to put her wand into the back pocket of her tight blue jeans.
Sirius looked her over, up and down, studying her now apparent figure. She had long muscular legs, curvaceous hips, a rather full-sized bust, and a fairly flat stomach. She wore tight, dark blue Levi jeans, a black starred leather belt, and a black somewhat tight, low cut, tank-top. Something fluttered in his chest, he now had the sudden urge more than ever to sweep this girl up in his arms and kiss her.
"Its amazing what school robes hide." Sirius said, raising an eyebrow. He walked across the room until he was less than a foot away from Drea.
She sat on the stone window sill, one knee up to her chest, watching Sirius intently in front of her.
"I could say the same for you." Drea replied. "But sadly enough I have not come here to be your next catch. You still have not shown me anything worth falling for."
Sirius thought for a moment, then smiled brightly, surprising Drea immensely. Without words he walked in closer to her, taking her hands in his, he pulled her up from the sill so that she was now standing in front of him. Only inches between them.
"Sir-" Drea began, but was silenced by something she had never expected. His lips on hers. Almost naturally she kissed him back, for the first time in her life not thinking about the consequences. Slowly she wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Finally they parted after what seemed like an hour. Both a bit winded and Sirius seeming quite dazed but still pleased with himself.
Drea ran a hand through her long dark hair and took a deep breath, gazing up at the stone ceiling.
"Well?" Sirius asked in a smooth, highly pleased tone.
Drea look down from the ceiling and back at the tall dark and handsome wizard in front of her. She blushed a bit while choosing her answer extremely carefully.
"Right, well then.. Seems as though you have shown me something." Drea finally replied, trying desperately not to grin.
"What was that? I don't think I heard you." Sirius asked, living it up as well as he could
"I said I will date you Mr. Black. Alright? Pleased with
yourself I presume?"
"Thoroughly." Sirius replied, taking her hand in his. His grin was wide and rivaled by none, as he escorted his new girlfriend back to Gryffindor tower.
'On to step two.'
