Lily shook Susie awake, who had been sleeping on her shoulder. Susie woke up, looking sleepy.
"Hey, why are you waking me up?"
"We have to change into our robes Sus."
Standing up, Lily shooed the boys out of their compartment. "We have to change," she told them as she kicked them out, shutting the door behind them. Vicky giggled as she pulled her shirt off.
"It's kind of obvious Susie, but Sirius likes you." Susie crossed her arms, with a frown on her face.
"He's too arrogant."
"Lemme warn you Susie," Lily told her, pulling her robes on and putting her prefect badge on, "Don't ever fall for a guy like him, all he wants is to conquer you in bed and then he'll leave you in the dust, moving on to another girl."
"Yeah, he kind of set me off as that kind of guy when I met him and he told me that he was taking up HIS time to talk to ME, like I should be honored or something."
Lily smiled. "Yeah Remus told us about that, we were making fun of Sirius about it. He's been kind of infatuated with your image since he saw your picture."
"Psh, please," Susie rolled her eyes, standing in front of the door and pulling her shirt off. She heard someone knocking.
"What do you want?" she called through the door.
"That you standing in front of the door Susie?"
"It is," Susie answered.
"Well Sirius is over here hyperventilating cause he can see your shadow taking off your shirt. Padfoot, control yourself!" Lily and Vicky burst into laughter.
"So Susie, what house are you gonna be in?" James asked casually as they walked up to the castle.
"Oh, I'm gonna be in Gryffindor, there's no other house I can be in." She looked at him with a weird look on her face. "Since when did you get so interested?"
James put his hands up. "Hey, we used to be friends remember? Don't be so uptight!"
Susie relaxed, but still shot him a death glare. "You used to call me Dirt for god's sake."
"Well remember that I was 6 years old when I called you dirt. I'm not gonna call you that anymore." He took a lock of her hair. "Besides I rather like your hair."
"If you don't want to get hurt, you'll stop touching my hair." James let go with a chuckle and Susie had to laugh.
"You need to stop being so uptight so much. Loosen up." They walked to the castle together, talking and laughing the entire way, their friendship renewed. Walking into the great hall, Susie stared at the enchanted ceiling. James noticed her looking.
"Oh, that's enchanted to look like that."
"Really? But it's really realistic, it's gorgeous." They sat down at the Gryffindor table, with Remus, Vicky, and Peter, whom they had found when they were getting off the train, hopelessly lost.
"Where's Sirius?" James asked Remus. He shrugged. "Well where's Lily?"
"She's with the other Prefects getting the first years in." James made an 'o' with his mouth. Turning back to Susie, they started talking about Hogwarts and such.
"So, have you ever played Quidditch before?" Susie shook her head.
"Actually no, I've always wanted to play it, I know all about it, I even made Ronnie conjure up the professional Quidditch games for me to watch."
"Wait, have you seen the game between France and England, the 1979 game?" James asked excitedly. Remus groaned.
"You've got to be kidding me," he looked over at Susie, "Just say no, you're about to be bombarded with information about it." But surprisingly, Susie answered with an enthusiastic 'yes!'. James pumped his fist in the air.
"Finally! Someone to talk to about the Quidditch League games!!" Susie laughed at that because everyone at the Gryffindor table was staring at them. They launched into a heated conversation about the Quidditch league games, not noticing Sirius sit down next to Susie. He stared at them and then looked over at Remus.
"Moony, are they talking about the '79 Quidditch Championship league game."
"Sadly, yes they are." Sirius knew he had lost James for the rest of dinner. Even when dinner was served, James and Susie only took small bites and spent most of the time taking sips of their pumpkin juice.
Sirius was bored, extremely bored to death. Without James causing mayhem and upsetting Lily, he got bored pretty easily. Remus and Peter were talking, Vicky had gone to sit at the Ravenclaw table, Lily was at a Prefects meeting, and James and Susie were totally hitting it off with the whole Quidditch thing.
Lily came back from the Prefects meeting. Spotting her friends, she sat down next to Sirius. Noticing James and Susie, she stared at them with a raised eyebrow.
"They seem to be hitting it off well," she said to Sirius. He nodded. "Look Sirius, I think your tactics with trying to get Susie aren't working. Especially this whole trying to seduce her, it might've worked in the past, but it's not going to work now."
Sirius shrugged. "Whatever you say Lily." Lily could tell he didn't really care what she had to say.
"Well I'm gonna be the first one laughing when she totally rejects you." Flipping her red hair, she began to eat the food that was in front of her. Sirius decided to try and get Susie's attention, but somebody else got there first. A tall boy, with jet black hair and ice blue eyes approached the Gryffindor table, heading towards Susie. Susie looked up when she saw him, all conversation with James forgotten. (A/N: If you've seen What A Girl Wants, think of the guy, the hot one with the black hair, that's my model of this guy drool hehe)
"Hey, Rainzzi told me about you, and I wanted to meet you. I'm Chase DeSantos." Susie stood up, pushing her black hair out of her face.
"Susie McFasley." She was still shaking his hand when he slowly let go with a smile.
"Well I guess I'll see you later Susie." Susie nodded and sat down, still in a daze. Lily looked over.
"You have just met one of the hottest guys at Hogwarts," she said with a squeal. Both girls started giggling with glee, causing Sirius and James to look at them strangely.
"Puh-leese girls," Sirius said smugly, "who needs Chase DeSantos, hottest guy at Hogwarts when you've got the Hogwarts sex god right in front of your face." Susie rolled her eyes, pushing her hair out of her face again.
"One thing about Chase, he's not as big headed and arrogant as you." Susie stood up, pushing her chair back and walked out, with Lily next to her. Many eyes, almost all belonging to guys, followed her out the door. Many girls watched as she left, astonished how she could reject Sirius Black like that.
"How could she just reject me like that?" Sirius asked astonishingly.
"Well maybe, it's cause of your big head mate," Remus said with a laugh.
"Whatever, she wants me, she's just playing hard to get."
"Ugh, that Sirius Black is sooo infuriating," Susie told Lily as she plopped onto the bed in their dorm. They were the only two in there, still waiting for Vicky and their 3 other room mates.
"Yeah, he's the worst. What annoys me is he's really sexy, he just knows it! That's why I'd never date the guy, he's too full of himself. I bet he was wondering how you could reject him like that." Lily laughed, imagining Sirius sitting there with an astonished face.
"Whatever, I've dealed with guys like him." They were interrupted by Vicky walking in, also followed by 3 other girls.
"We got new roommates," Lily told Susie, "But me and the other prefects got to choose, so I put us 3 together."
Susie decided to unpack. One girl approached her. Susie looked up to find a girl with blue eyes and light brown hair.
"You're Susie right?" she asked.
"Yeah I am, you are?"
"Elisa, I saw you talking to Sirius in there, I wish I was in your place."
"Why?" Susie frowned. "He's a conceited, stuck up jerk, who thinks he can just make any girl fall at his feet."
"Yeah, but he's just so gorgeous, most of the girls here are jealous of you." Susie had to crack a smile.
"Believe me, any one of you could take my place and I'd gladly give it up." Elisa laughed.
"Yeah well, also one more thing, you know Remus Lupin?" Susie nodded.
"Oh, Remy? Of course, the guy's like my best friend." Susie noticed a tell-tale blush forming on Elisa's face.
"You like him don't you?" She smiled, nodding.
"I do, a lot, I was wondering if you'd, oh I'm embaressed to even ask this,"
"It's okay, you want me to talk to him, you know, get him to ask you out."
"Would you?" Elisa looked extremely happy at the prospect.
"Of course, I'd be happy too."
"That would be great! Anyways, it was nice meeting you, I'll see you later." Susie found her pajamas and changed into them. The door opened, revealing Vicky. She looked extremely happy.
"What's up Vicky? You look all dreamy and stuff." Susie peered at her. "You also look like you've just been either snogged senseless or your guy told you he loves you."
"You guess," Vicky said, the same dreamy look on her face.
"He loves you?" Lily asked astonishingly. Vicky nodded. "Are you sure, I mean, did he really mean it?"
"I think he did, why would he just tell me he loves me for no reason?"
"Umm, to get in your pants," Susie pointed out.
"No," Vicky shook her head. "Adam's not like that."
"I mean, you guys have only been going out since the end of the year last year and you guys barely saw each other all summer, how do you know he didn't cheat on you?" Lily frowned, if Adam ever did that, she'd have his hide.
"I trust him guys, have a little faith." She got in bed. "Oh Susie, Sirius wants to see you in the common room." Susie screwed up her face.
"Ugh! When will he ever leave me alone??" Elisa giggled from her bed.
"Well," she said thoughtfully, "maybe he really does like you."
"That's improbable," Lily answered. "Sirius Black gets a girl in bed, then leaves him. The probability of him actually liking a girl to settle down and go steady with her, is like me dating James Potter." Vicky burst out laughing.
"How ironic of you to bring up James Potter," she said through her laughter. "You know you like him."
Susie shut the door behind her, the last thing she heard was Lily screeching "WHAT???" She smiled and made her way downstairs. It was about midnight, everyone was supposed to be out of the common room by 11:45. She spotted Sirius sitting in a chair in front of the fire.
"Hey," he said as she sat down.
"Wow, you actually didn't greet me with some kind of arrogant remark."
Sirius cracked a smile. "I just want to apologize, and I want to start over." Susie raised an eyebrow at him.
"What's wrong with you? Where's Sirius Black??" She got up and felt his forehead. He smiled and grabbed her hand.
"IF you don't want to get hurt, you'll stop touching my forehead," he said with a smile, mocking her.
"Ugh, James told you about that?" Sirius nodded. "I just don't like people touching my hair," she said, sitting back down.
"Why? It looks very inviting. I want to touch it, if you know what I mean." Susie shot him a death glare.
"Hey, hey I was just kidding. Seriously, you need to calm down, you're always really uptight."
Susie shrugged. "It's just my nature." Sirius got up and went behind her. He put his hands on her shoulders, making her tense up. Leaning down, he began to slowly massage her shoulders.
"Relax," he whispered in her ear. She felt her 'don't take no crap' aura melting away at the work of his hands. She knew he was just charming her, seducing her, trying to get her in his bed. She sighed involuntarily, knowing she was enjoying this. A little too much.
"Sirius, stop, please." She shut her eyes when he stopped. That could never happen again.
"Are you tired?" he asked her. She nodded. She was feeling sort of sleepy. She felt herself being lifted up and being put on something soft. She lazily opened her eyes, looking up into Sirius' gray eyes, one eye covered by a lock of his long black hair. She was surprised that he hadn't tried to kiss her yet. Sirius let go of Susie reluctantly, letting her lay down on the couch. He took a blanket and pulled it over her and got up, getting ready to find somewhere else to sleep.
"Wait," he turned around. "Stay with me?" Sirius nodded and lay down next to her.
Susie opened one eye, not recognizing where she was. She then spotted Sirius sitting in a chair by the fire, the dim light of the sun shining through the window.
"It's 7 AM, people will be up in half an hour." She yawned and all memories of the night before flooded her mind. She remembered that Sirius had been tender with her, not tried to do anything. She wondered if there was actually going to be a change in him.
"So how'd you enjoy sleeping with me last night?" he asked cockily.
Apparently not.
Susie looked extremely angry as she went over to Sirius and slapped him.
"What is wrong with you?? Just when I think you're actually going to change, for the good, you go and say something like that! I will never, ever date you Sirius Black, I swear on my life I never will." She stormed out of the common room, going back upstairs to her dorm. Opening her door slowly, she found only Lily to be up. Everyone else was asleep.
"Hey, I got up and you weren't in bed," Lily said, as Susie went over to her trunk to find her robes.
"Yeah, I fell asleep in the common room." Lily raised an eyebrow.
"With Sirius?"
"Yeah, sorta. Well he was actually really nice last night, he didn't try anything, didn't try to make any moves on me, except give me a massage and then I went to sleep, and then I woke up and he asked how was it like sleeping with him and I got angry and slapped him. He's probably down there still, holding his cheek in astonishment. The nerve of him!" Susie looked angry as she pulled her pajama pants off and put on a plaid mini skirt to go under her robes.
"Well, did you think that him being nice would actually last? He was probably just putting up that act to get you in bed."
"Yeah I guess I was pretty naïve to fall for that stupid front." She pulled on her wife beater and put her black robe on. "Ugh, these are really hot."
"Yeah, well get used to them," Lily said with a smile. Pulling on their scarlet and gold ties, they went downstairs to go to breakfast.
"I just don't understand it Moony, I was really nice to her that night," Sirius said, adjusting the tie on his robes as him and Remus walked to the Great Hall for breakfast.
"Well, what did you say to her in the morning?"
"Well," Sirius thought for a second. "Actually I woke up before her, and I slept on the couch with her, but I got up early and when she got up, I said-"he looked slightly crestfallen. "I said 'How'd you enjoy sleeping with me last night'" Remus let out an exasperated sigh.
"No wonder she got angry with you! She probably thought you were just putting on an act last night, to get her in bed or something."
"I can't do it Moony! This girl just refuses to give in, I tried everything."
"Well, when you were nice to her, what happened?"
"She let me give her a massage and then she was falling asleep so I asked if she was sleepy. She said yes and I picked her up and put her on the couch and then she asked me to stay with her."
"Well, doesn't that give you some kind of clue? This time mate, your arrogance and your player attitude, those two are NOT gonna win her heart. You've gotta change. Why are you so interested in her anyways?"
"Well, at first," Sirius looked embarrassed about admitting this to one of Susie's closest friends, "At first, it was a bet with James, but last night, it was something different."
"Well you realize she's gonna be extremely pissed off at you this morning, so it's best to just not talk to her."
They came into the great hall, sitting down at the Gryffindor table. Sirius tapped a petite, blonde girl. She turned around, giving him a smile.
"Hey Ana," he said directly.
"Hi Sirius, how are you?"
"Well, I'm doing good. And you?"
"I'm doing fine," she said slowly. "I guess I'll let you get back to your friends then?" Sirius smiled and gave her shoulders a small squeeze.
"Bye Ana," he said, turning back to Remus. Remus looked at him.
"So you're still friends with Ana? I thought you would've shunned her away because she's deaf."
"No," Sirius shook his head. "She's a great girl and a good friend. Besides, I'd never try to take advantage of her, if that's what you're thinking. She was my DADA partner last year, she's really good at it." Remus shrugged. Susie and Vicky came in a few minutes later, followed by Lily and James, who were arguing about something.
Susie sat down and started to eat, not even bothering to look up.
"Hey Remus," she said, completely ignoring Sirius. Remus shook his head and went and sat across from Susie.
Meanwhile, Elisa came in with her 2 friends and sat down at the other end of the Gryffindor table. Susie waved at her and returned to talking to Remus.
"So you see that girl that just walked in?" Remus looked over.
"You realize there are tons of girls that are walking into the Great Hall." Susie groaned.
"No, the girl that I just waved at."
"Elisa Glassman?"
"You know her?" Susie asked, surprised.
"Yes I do, she was my partner in Ancient Runes last year for a project. She acted really weird around me, like she was nervous or something. And she kept fumbling over her words and dropping stuff." Susie stared at him.
"Rems, are you really that dense?"
"About what?" Susie put her head in her hands in frustration.
"She likes you!!"
"She does?"
"Are you really that oblivious to all other girls, except Vicky?" It was Remus' turn to be surprised.
"How do you know about that?"
"Umm, Remus, it's kind of obvious. Besides, she has a boyfriend."
"I know! You realize I've been in love with her since 5th year? And I really can't work up the courage to tell her."
"Well it looks like she's not breaking up with him anytime soon," she pointed over at the Ravenclaw table, where Vicky was sitting on Adam's lap. "I think you should date other people. You should ask Elise to the next Hogsmeade trip."
"Maybe, we'll see."
"Yeah okay." Remus looked up, spotting Sirius. "Hey, don't look now, but Sirius is coming over here."
"Great, I'm leaving, I can't even stand being near him." When Sirius sat down, Susie stood up quickly.
"Bye Remus, I'm going to get my books." She looked at her timetable, which Professor McGonagall had given to them earlier. Sirius looked hurt as Susie disappeared.
"I told you she'd be pissed off," Remus said to Sirius.
"I was just wondering what classes she has."
"I'll tell you, she has Advanced Auror DADA, Double NEWT Potions with Slytherin, Muggle Studies, and Double NEWT Arithmancy with Ravenclaw today."
"Oh wonderful, I have AA DADA, Potions, and Muggle Studies with her. I can at least try to talk to her."
"Tread carefully mate." Remus warned. Sirius got up, heading off to Study of Ancient Runes.
