Chapter 10- Sirius Confused and The Fan Club Grows
Friday came, and Sirius popped out of his bed, as if he was spring loaded. James grumbled at him for making too much noise, and Sirius hurried to quickly bathe, and get the day over with, so that he could talk to Beth that night.
Sirius didn't eat breakfast, James stared at him with an open mouth. "Something must be seriously wrong with you, mate."
"Huh?" Sirius said, poking his eggs with the end of his fork. "Did you say something?"
James rolled his eyes, and returned to his kippers, "No, nothing at all…" He scooped in his food, and Sirius stared off once more.
After breakfast, Sirius walked out of the great hall and down to the charms room. He set up his station, and then waited for the rest of the class. Suddenly, two girls, one the blonde girl who had asked Sirius to come to Hogsmead with her weeks before, the other with dark brown hair, and hazel eyes entered the room.
The girls walked in about two steps, and upon finding Sirius in the room, by himself, the girls stopped. They looked at one another, and then let out identical squirrel-like gigles.
The blond walked to Sirius. "Hello, Sirius."
"Oh, hi, Millie."
"Melanie." She said, smiling, "But Millie is a cute name."
"Yeah, yeah… Melanie." Sirius said, smiling at the wall.
"Um…" Melanie looked at her friend. "Are you… okay, Sirius?" She asked, and her friend nodded, in silent agreement.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sirius smiled even wider, and then looked at the girls. "I've never been better."
Melanie's friend cleared her throat. Melanie looked at her with surprise. She made a gesture with her head toward Sirius. "Oh…" Melanie said, and then in a low, and unpleasant voice, like someone about to have their teeth pulled, she said, "This is my friend, Patricia Patil."
"Hi, Patricia." Sirius said, still not really seeing the girls.
"You can call me Pat." She said, holding out a hand.
He shook it without thinking. Pat giggled. "Um…" She breathed in like she was being crushed with thousands of pounds of metal. "I was just um… wondering… if you would like to come for a walk with me at lunch around the grounds."
The door behind Pat opened, and Beth entered, looking around the room. "Professor?" She said.
"Yes?" Sirius said, standing quickly, without thinking. Beth looked up at him, and he heard Pat laugh.
"Great!" Pat said. Sirius looked at her, a little confused. "I'll see you at lunch."
Suddenly Sirius remembered what had just happened. "Wait!" He exclaimed, but Pat was already gone. Melanie slapped Sirius quite lightly on the arm, and let out an exclamation of anger.
Sirius saw Beth stare at him, a look of confusion on her face. "You have a date with that girl during lunch?"
"No…" Sirius said, and then he shook his head. "Well, yes but not on purpose…"
"No, really, Sirius, its fine. You should see her… You're perfect for each other." Then she was gone.
Sirius swore loudly, and the door opened once more and the rest of his class started to file in.
