Figuring It Out

Disclaimer: I don't own very much.

Brunette89: Thanks for the suggestion, but this story is already done. But premature labour pains might have been interesting… You'll have to wait for something like that in the sequel.

Sarahamanda: Glad you like it!

ThouandI: Hm, it could be pretty interesting…

Alligator355: Aren't we all glad Sev asked Siri out?

Ginny-and-Draco-fan: Glad you liked it!

Rob: Oh god, I don't know how to reply to your review… It was interesting to say the least, one of the more interesting reviews I've had this year :-P

Goddess of Gorgeousness: I know! All the good ones are gay, or taken… Glad you like it!

Chapter 8: Hogsmeade

"So where to first?" Asked Severus as he and Sirius neared Hogsmeade, they had been dawdling down the road that led to it and they were now far behind all the other students.

Sirius shrugged, "Don't know, whatever you want."

Severus rolled his eyes, "Have you always been a pushover?"

Sirius punched the dark haired Slytherin in the shoulder, "I am not a pushover, I'm just indecisive."

Severus rubbed his shoulder and smirked, "I believe you. How about Honeydukes?"

Sirius thought for a moment before nodding, "Yes, Honeydukes is good. I'm hungry."

Severus gave Sirius a strange look, he had seen the Gryffindor wolf down about three servings of breakfast that morning and he was still hungry? "How can you be hungry with the amount you ate at breakfast?"

"I'm eating for two now Sev." Replied Sirius smiling. "So, you were watching me eh?"

Severus cleared his throat and walked on ahead, knowing Sirius would start teasing him if he stayed to close.

Sirius laughed, "I can't say I noticed you watching me when I was watching you."

Severus stopped and looked back to Sirius with his eyebrows raised, "Ah so you were watching me to? What will our House mates think?"

"Screw them."

"Don't you think you've done enough that?" Questioned Severus innocently.

Sirius laughed again, "A pervert as well. Great! I think we'll get along just fine."

"Oh the horror."

………

"Yummy! Cockroach Clusters!" Squealed Sirius in delight as he wandered over to one shelf of colourful sweets in Honeydukes.

Severus pulled a face, "That's disgusting."

Sirius pretended he didn't hear and he started to scoop some of the Cockroach Clusters into his brown paper bag, which was already about half full of sweets. "Hm…what else should I get?"

"How about normal sweets?" Suggested Severus, he had been succumbed to Sirius' unusual taste in sweets for the last half-hour. "Like chocolate perhaps?"

Sirius gasped with glee, "Good idea!" He wandered off happily to the chocolate section and starting choosing various different bars of chocolate.

Severus shook his head in amusement as he watched Sirius, he was like a kid in a candy store, except Sirius was seventeen and it was a very big candy store. Its quite sweet really…oh god, where did that come from? "You nearly finished yet?"

Sirius looked over his shoulder at Severus, "No, are you bored?" He did look genuinely worried.

Severus shook his head quickly; he didn't want to be the one to cause Sirius to cry today. "No, I'm fine. You look like you're having fun though."

Sirius smiled, "I am and I have you with me."

Severus gazed at Sirius thoughtfully after his last comment; Does he feel the same? Or is he just saying that because it could be my child?… He continued following Sirius around the huge sweet shop and he ended up helping Sirius fill a second bag full of brightly coloured sweets.

Very soon the two paid for the sweets and their No Melt Ice Cream before leaving the store and finding somewhere nice to sit so they could finish their ice creams.

Severus watched in amusement as Sirius began picking his way through one of his full bags of sweets looking for the chocolate. "I think it's in the other bag."

Sirius looked up at him before moving onto the second bag, "Ah, so it is. Thanks."

Severus smiled slightly, "No problem… So, where do you want to go next?"

Sirius gazed up the main street of Hogsmeade in thought, "Um…don't care, I spent most of my money in Honeydukes."

Severus snorted, "Well, you did buy about two galleons worth of sweets, it serves you right."

Sirius mock scowled at his date, "You're the more manly of us two, you should be treating me."

Severus laughed, "So you freely admit how feminine you've become?"

"No!"

………

Severus and Sirius spent the rest of the day wandering the streets of Hogsmeade, just quietly enjoying each other's company and ignoring all the incredulous stares and the nasty glares they got off some students or mostly the male students. A lot of the girls at Hogwarts thought it was quite sweet that these two former enemies could put everything behind them and become friends.

………

It was getting dark when the two seventeen year olds got back to Hogwarts, they didn't go inside straight so instead they sat down on the steps leading up to the Entrance way and chatted.

"…I really enjoyed today." Said Sirius quietly, he glanced at Severus and gazed into those dark eyes. "Turns out I quite like you."

Severus smirked, "Yeah, it's a bit of a shock to me too." He tentatively lifted a hand and brushed Sirius' fringe out of his blue eyes. "I had fun today as well…"

Sirius smiled, "You know, I've been kinda hoping today wouldn't have to end." Severus raised an eyebrow. "I haven't had this much fun in a long time, not even with my friends."

Severus let his hand move to the base of Sirius' back, he rested it there gently, it was a sort of test to see how far Sirius would let him go, testing his boundaries. "I'm glad you had a good time," He leaned closer to Sirius who was smiling. "With me of all people."

Sirius laughed quietly, "You're not so bad…"

"I always knew that."

It was Sirius who finally closed the gap between them in a gentle kiss, he flicked his tongue across Severus' lips seeking entrance which he soon got. The kiss deepened as Sirius ran his fingers through Severus' dark shoulder length hair.

………

Sirius entered his dormitory with a big smile on his face.

"What have you done?" Questioned Remus almost immediately, he had learnt to be suspicious when either James or Sirius looked that happy and proud of themselves.

Sirius grinned and fell down onto his bed and gazed up at the canopy above the bed, "I just had a great make out session."

James sneezed and wiped his nose on the tissue Remus had ready in his hand, "Wif Snabe?"

Sirius smirked, "Yes, with Severus…he is a surprisingly good kisser."

Remus smiled, "So, are you two going to go on another date then?"

Sirius turned his head to the side so he could see his two best friends, "I think so yeah."

"I'm happy for you." Replied Remus just before James sneezed on him. "James!"

"Sowwy!"

Sirius laughed.
