Chapter 2
Charming, Black.
I can't believe I actually volunteered to show a new student around the school. What the hell have I gotten myself into? But I couldn't help it – I mean, come on, you have to admit she is gorgeous. She has to be at least part veela; no normal girl could be that hot. She has the most amazing, blonde hair that rolls down her back and big, sapphire blue eyes that shine, and the cutest smile…
OK, I can't be thinking of her like that if I haven't even seen her up close before. But I can't help it – she's just too beautiful!
Almost as beautiful as me – Sirius Black. Ah, I see you've heard of me. Of course you've heard of me; everyone knows me! I am the most popular, talented, intelligent, handsome, hottest guy in the whole school. Yes, that description fits me perfectly.
Don't look at me like that – like I'm being vain- it's all true! Admit it; you love me too, don't you? Ha, knew you did! Everyone does!
OK, well, I need to think of something witty, intelligent and charming to say this girl that is standing beside me, so that I can win her over.
"So…"
Yeah, real intelligent, Sirius; great conversation starter.
"Listen, I don't really want to know any background information about this big old castle, so you don't need to bother telling me any of that boring stuff," Belle says, waving her hand in the air.
"OK," I say.
Well, at least she's not a nerd. And she's hot. Can't forget that.
"So, I was wondering – do you guys have any dances or anything?" She asks in a lighter tone.
Good, I think she's starting to warm up to me a bit.
"Well, sometimes we have a Yule Ball, I'm pretty sure they're holding one this year, but other than that we don't really have dances; we're more into feasts and such," I say, beginning to walk slowly down the corridor.
"Oh," Belle looks disappointed.
"Say, with the Yule Ball, if they do have it, would you like to go with me?" I ask casually.
"With you?" She raises an eyebrow.
Oh, she thinks I'm joking. Damn. She is not normal. No normal girl would raise their eyebrow when asked that by me. A normal girl would squeal, or faint, or squeal then faint, or not be able to talk properly and just blush deeper and deeper until they either eventually stutter out a yes or their friend answers for them…but not Belle. Because she's not normal. She's a veela.
Should I just laugh like it was a joke? Or should I just stay silent?
"Sure," she grins.
Phew! Now I don't have to do either.
"Oh, that's cool," I grin.
Yes! Score for me; Belle – the hottest girl in school – is coming to the Yule Ball with me, the hottest guy in school!
After Belle agreeing to go to the Yule Ball with me, everything sort of went in a blur. I remember walking around school, going down to the kitchens and getting food off the house-elves, and then coming back up here and falling asleep. But no details.
So now I am lying on my bed in my dorm, James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Tobey Martinsen and Jesse Lorchester – my dorm-mates - snoring away beside me, yet to be awoken by the rays of sunlight filtering through gaps in the curtains.
I remember when we stopped to say goodbye in the common room, Belle had held my hand and whispered something in my ear. Then she had brushed her soft lips against my own and disappeared up the stairs to her dorm, leaving me in a daze.
Oh, her lips were so sweet, so soft and luscious. I want to taste them again. I have to taste them again. I have to go find Belle.
I get up out of bed and get dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt before going downstairs. No one's up yet, as it's Saturday. Being in a deserted Common Room when the sun is up is a new experience for me.
Tell me what you think!
