Chapter 3- The Sirius Fan Club
"Not feeling too well, old boy?" Sirius grinned, as the fat lady swung open to reveal the gryfindor common room. Remus remained silent, "Oh, I see..." Sirius chuckled, "That time of the month?" He whispered, so only Remus and James could hear.
Remus kept walking, but glared, angrily at Sirius through the corner of his eye. Yet, Sirius couldn't help noticing Remus was smiling slightly, and his eyes twinkled lightly, almost melodiously.
The boys found seats by the fireplace and pulled out a few spellbooks, which they placed on their laps. Sirius stared at the paper, his eyes taking in the words, but his mind absorbing nothing...
"What else could I do?" He thought, his fingers drumming on the edge of his book. "I wonder if she likes flowers... maybe enchanted flowers..."
"Sirius?" Said a girl's voice from above him. He looked up and spotted the person to which the voice belonged.
Before him stood a girl just younger than him, with bright, sleek blonde hair. Her smile was painted on her perfect lips and her blue eyes sparkled, as she admired Sirius with a grin.
"Oh," Sirius said, holding back the urge to roll his eyes. "Hello, Melody." He said.
"No, its Melanie." The girl smiled even bigger, "But Melody is close enough."
James sniggered behind Sirius, and Remus kicked Sirius' leg, lightly near his shin.
"Did you need something, Melanie?" Sirius asked, faking a smile.
"Um... yeah..." She said, throwing her eyes to the floor. "I was just wondering, if you would like to come with me to Hogsmead on the next trip."
Sirius looked as he were in deep thought. "Well," He said, tapping his fingers on his book, once more. "I think that I have plans that night..." He smiled up at her. "Sorry!" He said.
Melanie looked as if she would cry. "Oh..." She said. "I guess if you can't then you can't." She said, and walked away with her eyes on the floor.
James burst into laughter. "More from the Sirius fan club!" He said, hitting Sirius on the shoulder. "I can't believe she asked you three weeks in advance." He said, between chuckles.
Remus looked at him rather seriously. "What have you got to do in three weeks...?" He said.
Sirius smiled. "That is the full moon." He smiled, and all three beamed, happily.
