Chapter Seven- To Hogsmeade We Go

As September faded, October winds and chills quickly kicked in. On the day of the first Hogsmeade trip, Mary-Elle, Tammy and Julianna were invited up to the Head Boy/Head Girl quarters to get ready in Lily's room.

'Ready for you date, Julia?' Lily asked.

'Not really.' Julianna replied, brushing her hair 'I'm not sure that this date is a good idea. I can't even remember anymore why I said yes to Sirius in the first place.'

'I totally and completely agree with you.' Tammy stated.

'Jelious Tam? You sound bitter.' Mary-Elle said smirking.

'I'm not jelious. I just think she deserves better. Someone like...Remus. I'd bet you he'd know how to treat a woman right.'

'He looked rather hurt when I agreed to go with Sirius today. I feel so bad. It should be him that I am going with today.'

'Aw, does Miss Zandwyk have a little crush on a certain Mr. Lupin.' Lily said, teasingly.

Julianna only smiled.

'Aw, thats sooo cute. I think he has a crush on you too.' Tammy said, hugging her.

'I doubt it. I mean, I'm not even good looking when I'm compared to you guys. And you've known him longer than I have.'

'Yeah, yeah whatever.Those aren't good reasons at all.We should get going, it's almost time to go.' Lily said.

'I hope your happy.' James whispered, as Sirius spiked his hair in the mirrior.

'Of course I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be! I got a date with a sexy vixen.' Sirius said, grinning.

'You're a prat, you know that! You don't care about anybody elses feelings, as long as you have what you want, nobody else matters.'

'What makes you say that? And who are you Poster Boy of feelings?'

'Did you not see the look on Remus's face when you came and told us you were going with her to Hogsmeade? He looked pissed.'

'Look! He told me he didn't care if I liked her or even went out with her. So would you lay off about it!'

'Wake up and smell the Firewhisky, mate! You haven't even bothered to notice the look he gets on his face when she walks into a room, the way he blushes when she smiled at him. Get it through your head, Padfoot! He.likes.her, and your making things worse for him.' James gritted through his teeth.

'How the hell am I making things worse?'

'Remus told me that the only reason why he won't admit he has feelings for her is because he "doesn't want a girl to have to deal with what he is" especailly Juls because she doesn't deserve it and he likes her so much. But I've told him that if she really does like him, she won't care about what he is. So now he's afraid he'll never have any chance with her because you trying to get with her.'

'Prongs, in life, two people can like the same person, but in the end, only one will get that person. That's the way this is going to play out.'

'I can't believe you! You can have any girl in this school that you wish. But instead, you have to go after the one girl your BEST FRIEND likes. Some friend.'

The bathroom door then opened and Remus stepped out. Sirius quickly brushed passed him and slammed the bathroom door behind him.

'What's with him?' Remus asked.

'Ohh...I pissed him off because I told him he was a prat for asking Juls to Hogsmeade with him because you liked her alot.' James said.

'James...why would you do that? It's really not a big deal to me. Sure I was pissed off at first, but if Sirius wants to go out for awhile with her, I have no problem with it because it's none of my business.' Remus replied, sighing.

James smiled,' But you want it to be your business. It's weird in a way. Sirius can pretty much have any girl fall at his feet. You've never shown that interest in girls at school. Then when your dream girl comes along, Sirius takes her from you. But I can tell you this, "In life, two people can like the same person, but in the end, only one will get that person." I have a feeling that no matter what happens between those two, you will eventually get Julianna. It may sound corny, but I believe in soul mates. Lily's mine, Sirius and Tammy are Soul mates, and I have a feeling so are you and Julianna.' James said, walking towards the bathroom, 'Sirius! Let's go! The girls are probably aready waiting for us!' James said, banging on the bathroom door.

'Geeze Prongs, break the door down why don't you.' Sirius replied opening the door.

'Come on, let's go.' James said, grabbing a light jacket.

Sirius and Remus did the same and followed James to the main living quartres.

As they entered James and Lily's main living quartres, the girls were already sitting around, looking rather impatient. When Remus spotted Julianna, his mouth nearly dropped. He never payed much attention to her outfit durning the Quidditch try out because he was still in a bit of pain but he had forgotten how much the school robes could hide all the curves that some girls carried. She was wearing a pair of light blue jeans that hugged her waist and a white poncho, which regardless how big it was, outlined the curves of her breasts. Remus licked his lips, he knew he liked her very much but lust was just pouring out of his eyes. The wolf liked what he saw. He would do anything to get his hands on her.

'Its about time you guys got down here, You take as long as girl does to get ready, even more.' Mary-Elle said smirking.

'Oh be quiet, we had a little disagreement upstairs. Lay off.' James said as he wrapped his arm around Lily's waist.

'Everything okay?' Lily asked.

'Yeah, no hard feelings, Right Sirius.'

'Yeah, course not Prongs. I know you meant well by yelling at me.'Sirius said, grinning, 'You look so gorgeous.' He gestered towards Julianna.

She smiled, 'Thank you. It was one of those last mintue pick outs you know. I really didn't know what to wear.'

'Even so, you look lovely.' He said, holding his hand out.

Julianna hesitated but slowly took his hand.

What the hell am I doing! She thought.

What the hell is he doing? Remus thought.

See what happens when you wait to long! He's already scamming in on my girl! The wolf said.

Don't worry. Remus replied.

Oh, there is much to worry about! If you don't handle this, I will and you won't like how I handle it. The wolf growled.

'So where does everyone want to go first?' Sirius asked.

'Lily and I were going to go window shopping.' James replied, 'Anyone else coming?'

'Uh...I promised my aunt that I would check into her shop, see how business was going. Tam, you coming?' Mary-Elle stated.

'Yeah sure.' Tammy replied.

'Well, I guess Juls and I will just go hangout at Three Broomsticks. We'll meet you guys back here in about an hour and a half or so' Sirius said, taking Julianna by the hand and walking off.

'Yeah, see you guys later.' Lily said, as her and James took off in the other direction.

'Remus, you want to come with us?' Tammy asked.

'Uh, sure I guess.' Remus said.

As Remus trailed behind the girls, Tammy spoke, 'What's wrong Remus?'

'Nothing. Don't worry about it.'

'You know if I were you, I'd just kick Sirius ass and take Julianna back.'

Remus was a little thrown back by her comment, how did she know he liked her? But then again, he smiled gently at her forewardness towards kicking her ex-boyfriend's ass. Whenever she talked about Sirius after they broke up, it was always something bitter. He didn't mind though, all he could think about right now is how much he wanted to kill Sirius.

'This is our favourite hangout when we come into Hogsmeade.' Sirius said, escorting Julianna into Three Broomsticks.

'It sure is crowded.' She replied.

'Oh, well if you want to go somewhere more quiet and more private we can.'

'No, here will be just fine.'

As they sat down at a table, Sirius ordered them each a Butterbeer. As Julianna began to stare off into no where, he tried to strike up a conversation.

'So, how's your family? Do you have any brothers or sisters? Where do you live when your not in school?'

'I, uh, I don't have any family. My parents died when I was five, I had no other siblings. Although, I was suppost to have a baby brother but my parents died a month before he was born. Since I was five I've been living in an orphanage. When I leave this year though, I'll probably find a place on my own. Maybe in London or maybe back home in Ireland'

He felt like a major idiot, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I wish death on my family all the time, but I've never met someone who didn't have any family.'

'I take it your family must be horrible then?'

'My mother is a Cast-Iron bitch, my father is an alcoholic, my brother is a idiot, he's in with the whole "Death Eater, Voldemort supporter" crowd. Pretty much I've "disowned" the family because everyone has been in Slytherin, except me. Plus, I have to have both my whoreish cousins Bellatrix and Narcissa here at school with me which also makes life hell. The only good one in my family is my older cousin Andromeda, and she's already out of school and has had a baby with her husband.'

'Surely they can't be that bad.' Julianna suggested.

'Once, and if, you ever meet my family, you'll change your mind about that.' Sirius said, gloomly.

'Alright, I still don't see how they could be that bad, but I'll drop it.'

Sirius smiled, 'I'm so glad you agreed to come with me here today.'

'Yeah, me too.' Julianna said, trying very hard not to sound rude. 'So, I hear you and Tammy have a pretty big past together. Spill, she told me she isn't going to tell me because it's the worst part of her past. You must have been a real ass.'

'Naw, she's just really bitter. That's the way she is. Well, if you really want to know, Tammy and I dated for a year and a half. From the middle of fifth year till the end of sixth year.'

'Wow. You know, you don't strike me as a guy who likes to be in long-term relationships.'

Sirius laughed, 'Yeah you're right about that. For some reason, girls after awhile just tend to bore me if you've been with them to long.'

'So thats why you two broke up? Because you got bored with her?'

'No, not at all. In fact, she was the best girlfriend I ever had. See, Tammy is the jelious type. I'm the type of guy who is friends with alot of girls. I give them hugs, flirt with them sometimes and she absolutely hated it!.'

'I would too. If my boyfriend hung off every girl he knew, it would make me jelious.'

'Yeah but I meant nothing by it. I would have never cheated on her. I loved her, I still do, but she thinks I cheated on her with her twin, but I would never. So her acusations broke up our relationship. So all in all, it's her fault.'

'Not really actually. You're both to blame. You shouldn't be like that with all the girls. Especially when you have a girlfriend and you love her that much. Tammy, if she really did love you, she should have trusted you more.'

'Doesn't change anything though, I guess we really weren't meant to be. We would always fight and if we weren't fighting, we were snogging.'

'So then you were only physically attracted to her?'

'No, that was a pretty damn good thing about her and still is but I love her personallity and how she's outspoken and always lets you know exactly how she feels about things. That's why the physical part of our relationship went so well because she would let me know when to stop and when she wanted me to keep going.'

'So I take it then you two had-'

'Sex? Yeah, course.'

'Oh.'

'Do I make you uncomfortable?'

'Hmm? What?'

'I asked if I make you uncomfortable? You don't look very interested in what I really have to say, or infact, me all together.'

'It's not that I'm not interested. It's just that, my mind was on something else at that mintue. Do you think we should go find the others?'

'Already, we've only been in here, what, an hour.'

'I know but I'm not feeling to well. I'm sorry.'

'No problem.'

As Julianna stood up and went to leave, Sirius grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her back towards him.

'What's wrong?' She asked.

Sirius looked into those heavenly blue eyes and resisted the biggest temptation not to kiss her. He needed to say something. Quick!

'Do you want to go to the Halloween Dance with me that's coming up?'

As Remus, Tammy and Mary-Ell met back up with James,Lily,Sirius and Julianna, Remus saw the look on Julianna's face to be not to pleased. What had happened? What did Sirius do to her? If he hurt her I swear!

She smiled at him lightly and waved him over to walk beside her back up to the castle.

'So, how was your date with Sirius?' He asked, trying not to growl while he said it.

'Uhh, interesting I guess you could say.' Julianna chuckled.

Remus smiled. At least she's in a good mood.

'Sirius is a very interesting person I guess you could say. I learned alot about him and his family and his relationship with Tammy, so I guess you could say it wasn't such a bad day. Say, maybe tonight when everyone's gone to bed, did you maybe want to stay up with me in the common room and talk'

Remus's heart skipped a beat, maybe even two, 'Yeah..Yeah sure, that would be great.'

'I look forward to it.' Julianna replied smiling
