Rejections

It was the Saturday that James and Sirius would be leaving for the funeral. They were both in their dormitory packing, no words exchanged between the two as they were lost in their own little worlds of thought.

Sirius had not told James that he saw Belle with Lucius. At this point in time he figured James probably wouldn't care all that much. He had his own problems to deal with.

On the brighter side, Halloween was soon to be here. Two more weeks until that special night. And this years Head Boy and Girl decided to have a Halloween Ball for 3rd years and up on the Eve of Halloween.

For the ball it was necessary to have a date. You weren't allowed to go single. And everyone knew that James wanted to go with Lily, but she was already taken by a 6th year Hufflepuff. He was a chaser on the Hufflepuff quidditch team, and James vowed to 'accidentally' slam into him next time they played.

Peter had a date with Emma of course, since they were now an item. You barely saw one without the other. As for Remus, he asked Alexis which made Sirius slightly jealous. "You don't mind, do you mate?" he had asked Sirius who shook his head no.

Sirius shrugged that thought off as Peter scampered up to the room. "Professor McGonagall is here to take you to the train" he said and hurried down the stairs once more, probably to be with Emma.

James and Sirius both took hold of their trunks and merely glanced at one another before heading down the stairwell. They reached the common room and of course saw the tight lipped McGonagall standing there, tapping her foot no doubt, and wishing the two boys would hurry it up.

After a long ride on the train, they finally reached the station where they got off and met Mrs. Potter who still looked teary eyed. She looked as though she hadn't slept for weeks and her hair was all disheveled.

She hugged each of them tightly and they headed to one of the ministry's cars that he was lending them for the trip to the funeral home where the funeral would be taking place.

…..

After the funeral, James and Sirius both shook hands with all of the guests who came to the funeral, which was practically all of the purebloods, including the Malfoy Family.

Lucius Malfoy's father walked up to the two boys and grasped James's hand firmly. "Your father deserved what he got" he muttered so that only they could hear him. "He should know better then to mess with the dark lord."

Sirius grabbed Mr. Malfoy's hand. "You take that back" he growled under his breath and twisted his wrist slightly only to see a nerve twitch at the corner of his mouth.

After twisting his wrist a little more so you could see another twitch of pain Mr. Malfoy finally exhaled. "Take your grubby paws off of me if you know what's good for you, you filthy blood traitor."

Sirius turned to James and grinned. "Wow, I'm a blood traitor" he said to James. This may be a time for mourning but Sirius wanted to try and spice it up a tad. Things were too sad for his likings.

Sirius let go of Mr. Malfoy's wrist. Before walking away, Mr. Malfoy made sure to send a cold sneer in the direction of the Mudblood Lover and the Blood Traitor.

….

After arriving back at Hogwarts the next day, they both found out that Remus would be leaving that night to transform so they told him all about Mr. Malfoy in the common room.

Luckily for Sirius, Belle overheard Sirius telling Remus about the funeral.

"I can't believe I was stupid enough to kiss a Malfoy!" Belle exclaimed loud enough for the whole common room to hear her.

Lily walked up to her. "Belle you need to tone it down a bit. Some students are trying to study" she said indicating to the first years that seemed to be sweating over a potions essay.

Belle rolled her eyes as Lily walked away. "She can be so into herself at times. Ever since she became a damned prefect."

James and Sirius nodded their agreement and both sat down on the couch with Belle in between them. James decided to leave the two of them alone and headed over to talk to Alexis.

"So" Sirius began. "Do you have a date for the Halloween Ball?" Sirius asked Belle.

She shook her head no. "Well, would you like to go with me?"

Belle turned a slight shade of pink and then answered that she would love to. She then kissed Sirius' cheek and headed up to her dormitory, turning around once she reached the stairs and giggled.

James strolled back over to Sirius who looked like he had just one the lottery.

"Did you ask her?" James asked Sirius who nodded sheepishly. "Good for you mate" he said clapping Sirius on the back.

"So who are you going with?" Sirius asked James. "Well I was going to ask Alexis, but Remus got to it first."

Sirius looked at the two sitting at the other side of the common room. "Yeh, well they do look pretty good together, and she does seem happy."

James sighed. "I suppose you're right, and we all know I don't stand a chance with Lily so I'm not going to bother."

"Oh well you never know James. It could happen" Sirius shrugged.

"Yeh, like I really have such great luck" James rolled his eyes.

Remus and Peter came over to the two of them and talked until Professor McGonagall came and picked Remus up.

"Here comes Lily now. Why don't you go ask her to the Halloween Ball Jamesy-poo?" Sirius said, giving his friend a push in her direction.

James ran his hand through his hair to give it the usual windswept look and made his way over to Lily who was writing stuff down on a note pad.

James cleared his throat and Lily immediately asked "What do you want Potter? I'm kind of busy if you haven't noticed."

James ran his hand through his hair again. "Well I umm wanted to know if you would go to the Halloween ball with me" He said nervously.

Lily looked up from her note pad, cocked and eyebrow and broke out into fits of laughter that made James turn a very deep shade of red.

"Well?" James asked after a couple minutes.

"You're kidding, right?" Lily asked, disgusted that James would even bother asking.
