Thoughts of Sixth Year

Part 1

Sixth year was truly one of my favorite years. The year Sirius and I finally got together. Every time I think of that day, I get a tingly sensation growing in the pit of my stomach. I get the same lurching feeling I got the first day I climbed onto that train and first saw the dark haired, incredibly sexy guy that I knew I would eventually fall for. It was the same feeling I had got in 4th year too. It's the most amazing feeling. Better than any other.

-Flashback-

Sirius and I were fooling around in potions when he passed me an odd note.

Dear Ri,

Meet me tonight In the Room of R at 10:00 tonight?

Luv Yah,

Sirius

I sent it back saying:

Dear Siri,

Sure, but why?

Luv yah too,

Ri

He looked over the note and scribbled a reply:

You'll see.

I nodded and we started making up the potion while throwing funny notes back and fourth. They mainly involved the Slytherins and how much they sucked. By the end of class we both were having hyped up laughing fits.

Siri,

I think in an alternate life all Slytherins were hobos.

-Ri-

Ri,

No, that's an insult to hobo's everywhere. Oh, and they're homeless people, Gees have some respect! Lol Joking.

-Siri-

Siri,

Fine but they smell as bad as them.

-Ri-

Ri,

Ha, yeah, probably worse. Specially Snivullus.

-Siri-

(Weren't we intelligent 16 year olds?)

Siri,

That was mean!

-Ri-

Sirius looked over the note at me and pleaded with his eyes.

I couldn't help it,

I started to giggle. Yes giggle. It was weird and embarrassing. Right in the middle of potions too! I was glad the teacher had hearing problems.

Sirius looked at me amused, once he realized I was joking. When I started to shake with laughter, he started up too.

"Excuse me, but what pray-tell is so funny that you had to interrupt my class?" the professor said as I went red from embarrassment. Sirius just gave him an annoyed look for ruining the fun.

"Sorry sir," I said, looking down at my desk. A few Slytherins started to laugh but Sirius sent them all death glares.

"10 points from Gryffindor," he just shot back.

A few people groaned while the Slytheins had gone into silent laughing fits.

Sirius rubbed my back softly and stuck his tongue out at the professor when he was turned towards the board.

I almost laughed… Almost!

When I got into my room I found a big box beside my bed.

I shot Lily a questioning look.

She shrugged.

"It was here when I got here," she said.

I quickly did a spell to check that there were no harmful things in it.

Then I decided to open it. There was brown wrapping paper on it and lots of tape messily done up, but obviously thoughtfully done. I took the top off the box and looked inside where there was some tissue paper on it and a note placed in the middle.

I picked it up and scanned it.

Dear Ri,

I thought this would look beautiful on you. Wear it tonight in the room of Requirements if you want.

-Siri-

P.S. – Sorry about today with the notes and all.

I stared at the wrapping, confused.

"Well are you going to open it?" lily asked. She had looked over my shoulder at the note.

I nodded carefully lifting the tissue paper.

I gasped.

I carefully held it up in front of my face.

I heard Lily gasp when she saw it.

It was a black dress. A beautiful black dress. The top of the dress was all black and looked as if it fit well to the skin. But when you got to the waist it "puffed" out and there were red streaks going to the ground.

"That's SOOOMMME present," Lily commented. "When's your b-day?"

"April.7th"

It was November.

"Wow, EXTRA early," Lily answered

I looked into the box and found some crimson stilettos/pumps.

"So that's why he asked your shoe size," Becca said, just as she walked in

"Radical dress by the way!"

I looked at her.

"He asked you for my shoe size?" I said incredibly. Becca was a great friend, and I loved her like a sister, but sometimes she could be extremely dense.

"Yeah, he said something about it being for a quiz he was doing in a men's magazine like 'Do you know your girl?' "

I laughed out loud at that, Lily laughed too.

Becca looked confused, but started laughing anyway.

"Okay," I said after we finished our little laugh attack "I need to get ready."

The girls nodded.

"Can I count on you to do my makeup Lily, and Hair Becca?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am," Lily said.

"Of course darlin'" Becca said, running to her dresser to find her hair products.

Lily walked over to get her make-up.

"And I'll go get the dress on," I said to myself.

I ran into the bathroom with my beautiful dress and hot stilettos.

When I came out, my friends took Polaroid's. (A.N. - yes I know they probably didn't have them in this time frame so don't get pissy at me.)

We laughed and talked as Becca did my hair and Lily worked on my face.

"I wonder what he's up to," Lily said.

"Probably going to propose with that gorgeous dress and all," Becca said, giggling.

That thought immediately brought jitters.

"What!" I yelped out loud, "we're not even going out yet!"

"Yah, Rylie it was a joke," Becca said, giving her an odd look.

"Oh," I said "Sorry."

"That's alright," Lily said. "Hell, if Potter bought me a dress like this one and told me to come to the Room of Requirements, I would begin to wonder as well."

We all laughed at that thought, not knowing we were laughing at what was to be the future.
