The trains ride passed peacefully enough. Well, that is when you forget about the whole who sits where scenario where it was girls on one side and boys on the other for a while, or the part where Peter farted and than told everyone. Other than that it was pretty normal. I mean Remus, Lily, Margo and Gabi headed off to the prefect meeting to learn about their new special duties as six-year prefects. This left Fifi, Sirius, James and Peter together. Lets just say you could cut the awkward feelings in that room with a knife. But than again, Fifi remembered she was friends with the marauders. Awkwardness was part of daily life. The played games and talked about quidditch – Fifi you must remember was from a family of boys, she understood the boy humor. I mean, don't get me wrong she was about as girl as you could get, makeup, nails, pink, the whole nine yards. But, she had this inner boy thing. She understood it and could deal with it. After they discussed the best quidditch play of the year the trolley came by.
"Anything from the Trolley, dears," they old women questioned.
"No, nothing," James and Peter began to say when Fifi cut in with "Speak for yourselves. I would definitely like something from the Trolley. Hmmm. How about 6 chocolate frogs, 4 pumpkin pasties, 2 cockroach clusters and a packet of Bertie Botts every flavored beans," she said with a smile.
"I'd forgotten how much you eat," Sirius said with a smile. He automatically regretted his choice of wording when he saw Fifi look upset.
"On second thought, I am probably to fat to eat these anyways. So, one chocolate frog." She told the trolley women. Sirius looked crestfallen.
"That's not what I meant Fifi. I .. I meant that," Sirius tried to figure out what to say as he watched James snicker at him and Fifi pay for her one treat. "I would like to buy everything she ordered the first time." He walked over and handed to her, and took one of the chocolate frogs, opened it and ate it. He looked at her and she looked at him. Right when he was about to say something the door burst open with their other friends.
"Hey guys!" they all shouted, obviously unaware they were ruining something for Sirius. James and Peter both started talking right away. Fifi and Sirius kept eye contact for a moment before Sirius leaned forward.
"The prefect meeting was a total bore," said Margo sitting down next to Peter with a sweet smile that said, "You would have been a lot better".
Sirius seemed unaware of the surrounding actions. He didn't know what to do. He was leaning towards Fifi, should he hug her, or kiss her. He finally decided hugging her would be best.
"I missed you Lily. We talked about Quidwitch while you where gone," James told Lily.
"Well, I didn't miss you and I hate Quidwitch- so good," she replied. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Gabi give her a knowing smile.
Fifi didn't care that Margo had just acted like she liked Peter. One of her dreams was coming true- Sirius was about to kiss her. But wait, she didn't like him. Oh, who was she kidding she loved him. But their first kiss in the middle of the compartment in front of everyone was not what she wanted. Suddenly she found herself just wanting to be hugged and that's when it happened. Sirius wrapped his arms around her and she did the same. He hugged her and she hugged him. They didn't care that at that moment everyone had suddenly turned towards them like they were a bulletin bored. Sirius leaned towards Fifi's ear and whispered "Your not fat."
"I've missed you," she replied. It didn't seem so awkward anymore and replied with an "I've missed you too." And the pulled away and stopped hugging. They saw all their friends looking at them and they blushed.
"WE WILL ARRIVE AT HOGWARTS IN TWO MINUTES," bellowed the loudspeaker.
"Shit," was muttered by everyone as they started pulling on their robes and getting ready. As they started descending the platform and got into there carriage to take them to the castle Fifi addressed Sirius.
"Yes," he replied redding. Maybe he was reddening because he liked her. Maybe it was hot, or maybe it was because all of their friends where watching them.
"Thank you," she replied.
"Your welcome," Sirius said knowing exactly what she meant by how she had acted. All of their on looking friends however seemed very confused.
