AN: In this story the Hogwarts students can go to Hogsmeade every Saturday

Chapter 4-The Date

The week was going by fast for Emily, it was only Thursday and Em was excited for her date with Lucius. Emily was also hanging around Sirius more. They had a few more of their moments when Sirius would help her find her class or run into her. Emily had a bit of a crush on him. She would never date him because she knows his intentions but it was fun to have a crush on him and he was just so incredible nice to her. As for Sirius he was falling for her and he enjoyed her company more than anything. They were getting along fine until Sirius found out that Emily was going to Hogsmeade with Lucius. So from Thursday till Saturday they were fighting nonstop. Emily didn't understand why he cared who she went out with and Sirius didn't understand how she could go out with an asshole.

It was Friday night and Emily couldn't sleep, she was too excited for date tomorrow, her date with Lucius-Emily decided to go sit by the fire in the common room. When she got to the common room she noticed Sirius sitting by the fire. She didn't want to fight with him any more so she sat next to him. "Hey" she said

"Hi" he said smiling weakly. He was obviously tired she thought. "what are you doing up?" he asked.

"Couldn't sleep" she responded. "what about you?"

He stared at the floor for a minute deep in thought, then he turned to her "I don't think you should go with Malfoy to Hogsmeade tomorrow"

"Sirius, I Don't Care I-" i didn't get to finish because Sirius cut me off "Listen I know you don't care what I think but you don't know him and I do he's a bad guy and he has bad intentions, you don't know what your getting yourself into-"

"You know him? No, you have an opinion about him and your wrong and don't talk to me about a guy having bad intentions. All you do is use girls so u can have sex with them...." with that Sirius got up and left. I know I hurt his feelings but it was true.

Emily spent an hour in front of the mirror trying to find a good outfit. It was time to meet Lucius in the great hall and she thought this outfit was great. She had on a cute Polo shirt on that unbuttoned just between her breast. Not showing anything but just enough to get you hooked, under the polo shirt was a button up office shirt (layered), she had a stonewashed denim skirt on that ended at mid thigh and an awesome pair of jet black Vans on. So all together she looked sporty but cute. She quickly pulled her straight dark hair into a bun/ponytail and pulled her bangs out do they fell just in her face.

She sprinted down the steps and slowed down when she got to the steps leading to the great hall. There he was waiting at the end of the stairs. She couldn't help but smile she was just so excited for this date. Emily was never on a date before at her old school she was friends with a lot of "geeky" people so no one would date her in fear that they might get labeled "geeky."

Lucius took her arm and together they walked down to Hogsmeade.

The day was going by fast. Emily was having a great time going into all the shops with Lucius. He really was sweat no matter what anyone else says. They entered the Three Broomsticks and got a table. After a few butterbeers they started out the door. As they were walking out of the little town Lucius pulled Emily into an alley way.

He kissed her a little rough she was never kissed before and she was sure she would like it if he wasn't kissing her so hard and plus she had a good day but things were going just a little too fast. When she pushed him off he comeback more aggressively. He began to slip his hand up her skirt and know she had had enough. She tried with all her might and she kept yelling at him but he put his hand over her mouth. All of a sudden, out of no where Lucius was thrown off her. Emily closed her eyes now free from his grip she slid down the wall and hugged her knees, her eyes still shut. she could here her savior beating Malfoy up. After a few minutes she heard someone run away, guessing that Malfoy had just scared away her savior, she was preparing her self for when Malfoy would force himself on her. Someone was trying to help her up but she flinched and tears began to once again slide down her cheeks. she muttered "please don't" and that's when Sirius softly said "Emily it's okay, it's me Em." With her eyes still closed Emily launched herself forward and hugged Sirius. Sirius gently put his arms around her and picked her up. Her head rested on his shoulder and her legs dangled from his arms. On their way to the castle Emily fell asleep from exhaustion after the nights event.

When Sirius entered the Common room and realized that Emily was asleep he gently laid her down on the couch and conjured up a pillow and blanket. After he tucked her in, he sat on the floor and checked his watch, it was 1 in the morning. What was she doing hanging out with Lucius so late? Sirius began to think what could have happened if he didn't get there in time. It doesn't matter she safe now he told himself. So that's were Sirius fell asleep, on the floor with his hand in Emily's to assure her that no one would hurt her.

3 hours later Emily woke with a start realizing what had almost happened that night. This startled Sirius and he too woke. When Emily noticed her hand in Sirius' she quickly removed it. He was starring at her she could feel it. Em kept her head down staring at the floor. finally she spoke "I'm sorry I didn't believe you about Malfoy"

"No, it doesn't matter know-"

"If I had listened to you then this wouldn't have happened, if I had taken my head out of the clouds for two seconds none of this-"

"Hey you cant undo the past, just let it go, let it be a lesson that was learned not something that will keep you alone for the rest of your life." He said softly.

Emily just started into his eyes for what seemed like minutes. "thank you" was all she said. Sirius smiled a true smile not a smirk or a grin, a real smile. "No problem" he said and she hugged him. Sirius was surprised at first but hugged her back.

Emily was glad that Sirius didn't tell anyone about what had happened that night she didn't even tell Lily. When Em saw Lucius in the hall the next day he smirked at Emily and she looked away in fear that she might cry but Sirius wouldn't let Malfoy get that satisfaction. As soon as Malfoy smiled at Em and she turned away Sirius came right up to Malfoy and punched him square in the eye.

Emily didn't know what it was but she found her self hanging out with Sirius more and more. She loved his company and she felt safe around him.

The months zoomed by and before they knew it the snow was falling December was beginning. Professor McGonagall announced that there will be a Christmas Ball the day before we leave for Christmas vacation. So for the past 3 weeks that's all everyone has been talking about and as as for me, well I still don't have a date. I suppose thats my fault because every guy who asks me I turn him down. I'm just not sure if their going to be another Lucius Malfoy. Me and Lily were going to go together but this guy Mathew Finnigan asked her to go with him and she agreed. Traitor. And that leaves me all alone which sucks, a lot.

Remus was going with Amy Thomas. Amy has liked Remus since forever and Remus get all bashful around her so I'm happy that they are going together. James was mad when he found out that Lily was going with Matt. And now James is saying he won't go with any girl. He is such a drama queen. Sirius is taking some ditzy blonde in 5th year. I have no comments about that.

Sirius, James and I were sitting in the common room and it was about midnight. I couldn't sleep and when I got there James and Sirius were sitting on the couch so I asked if I can join them. They said yes but they stopped thier conversation. And now there was an awkward silence. Very awkward in fact that I moaned and said "I need a date" speaking out my thoughts. I was rubbing my face in frustration when Sirius said. "you mean no one has asked you? I've heard at least a dozen boys saying they planned to go with you."

"I didn't want to go with them" I said, sitting up now. "But I should have said 'yes' to one of them because now I'll be going alone." Sirius was looking at the floor and James looked as though he was in deep thought (Yeah like that would ever happen).

"Maybe you can go with me" James said rather excitedly. Sirius shot daggers at James with his eyes. I pretended not to see this but looked towards James with an expression on my face saying 'what are you up to?'

"You see if Lily sees me with another girl especially with her best friend and she throws a fit then I know that she likes me and you need a date so we can go as friends and you can tell me if Lily gets mad by any of this." James said in one breathe. It did make me feel kind of used but I'd be helping out a friend and I would have a date to the Ball.

"I'm not sure James, what if Lily gets really mad at me? I don't want to risk my friendship with her"

"Ems its Lily she never stay mad at people only me" James did have a point.

"Okay, I'll do it" I agreed.

"Great don't forget to make yourself beautful so everyone will envy me." When James saw the angry look on my face he quickly corrected himself "Not that your not already beautiful, Anyway I need my beuty sleep I'll see you guys in the morning." James went up to the boys dormitories leaving me and Sirius on the couch.

"So... you have a date now." Sirius said quietly.

"Yup, tommarow me and Lily can go to hogsmeade and buy dresses, this will be fun" I said with sarcasm dripping from my words. "I'm tired I'll see you in the morning" I got up to leave when Sirius spoke.

"Em, wait". I turned around and Sirius had jogged up to me. "I... well..you see..I just...I hope you have a good time" he finally said quietly.

"thanks Sirius" I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "g'night"

"night" he replied, and I walked up the stairs.

Emily didn't see the sad look upon Sirius face as he watched her retreating back.
