Chapter Three

I'm Not His Girlfriend!

A/N: lol, so how's everybody doing? Like I said before, this story needs more work, but I hope you like this chapter and the others, please review! Pretty please? lol enjoy!

The next morning was the worst morning of my life. Everybody heard us rambling about our first kiss yesterday and somehow it goes all around the school. EVERYBODY THINKS I'M SIRIUS BLACK'S GIRLFRIEND! I see Black coming towards me. Merlin, can I just smack him, just this once?" You started this rumor didn't you? I told you many times Hastings, your never going to get me!" He exclaimed rubbing his forehead, in frustration.

"WHAT?! Like I'd ever want you Black! You're so full of yourself!" I scream at him, everybody gathers around us. Suddenly Nichols Jennings comes up. This isn't a good thing. What does he want now?"Joanne?" He askes me, quietly. While I turn and face him.

"Yes?" I answer him, getting a little bit frustrated. Nicholas is a great guy and I have no idea why I did this, but soon I figured out that I was going to regret this.

" Are you dating Sirius Black?" He asks, as he looks at the floor. I was shocked, how could he think that?

" No- " I began, but then I thought of it carefully. If I said yes, Nicholas would probably leave me alone for a bit. He wouldn't follow me, or round me in a corner all alone asking stupid questions. He would just leave me alone. Plus he was mighty scared of the Marauders.

" Yes, I am dating Bla-Sirius" I say to him. I felt bad for doing it, but I just couldn't take it any longer. I turned back to Sirius, who looked completely shocked. Before he couldn't say anything, I acted.

" Oh, Siri-poo! Please come with me?!" I begged, as I put my hand on his chest. Again, before he could say or act anything, I grabbed him really hard into an empty classroom. He whined throughout the whole way. What a man-brat.

"Okay, Hastings! What the bloody hell was that?!? I always knew you had a thing for me, but lying to everyone?" He flustered at me.

" I had to do that to get Nicholas to stop bothering me!" I said. I still felt bad, but I had to do it.

"Why don't you get yourself another guy!" He said.

" No! He's scared of you! Plus it was the only opportunity I GOT!" I said to him. He started walking back and forth in front of me. I hate when someone does this to me, it like I'm a criminal and he's the cop.

"I Won't do it!" He said making up his mind. I rolled my eyes.

"Please! It won't be for long! Black, this time I really need your help" I said, he still didn't seem convinced. I walked up to him, circling him.

" Plus, the more time you spend with me, the more the girls will want you! There are a lot of sluts here and they love you, they wanna do it with you, don't they? They all like a man who's already taken, because they are sluts . .?" I finally said, even confusing myself. He looked at me, studying my answer and studying my face, then his face broke into a pleasurable grin. The horny smug . . .

"... Fine!" He said. "But we're going to need some ground rules!" he said to me. I nodded. He started to walk back and forth again. It was suddenly getting me very sleepy.

"One: No Kissing.

Two: No Hugging.

Three: No Hand Holding.

Four: No Nicknames.

Five: No Tricks.

Six: No Bad Mouthing

And I guess that's all!" I groaned at four and five and six. I couldn't embarrass him with all those nicknames I hear everyday. Like Siri-poo, Honey-kins, Baby-boo, . . . Siri-lover? It gets confusing, okay? Why did I have to choose Black again? I hate this, why does Nicholas have to be scared of the most girlish, childish, stupidest Marauder ever to walk on planet earth?!? Why did I even suggest this stupid thing?! Why do I have to be so paranoid about being followed or asked stupid questions?!? I hate myself right now!

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?!?!" Lily yelled at me, after I just got back from the whole ground rule speech! Believe me; you would have been petrified at her yells."Look, it's not gonna be that long, all I need is for Jennings to get over me and then I'll stop pretending to go out with Black, okay?" I reassured her. She didn't look that happy about it.

"besides what the matter?" I asked her, flopping on my bed. Trying to concentrate on my Potions homework .

"The more time you'll hang out with Black. The more time I'll have to hang out with Potter." I laughed in my head, trying to let one giggle out.

"Oh well! Guess you'll have to fall for Potter then!" I said to her. She groaned, as she threw a pillow at me. I pretended to be shocked, as I threw one back at her. We both laughed. I'm so glad I have a sister, well at least a half sister.

" What's the problem with Potter anyway?" I asked, as I opened a magazine, that was lying under my bed. She looked at me.

"The same problem that Black has." She said, as she sank into her bed, making an exasperated sound, as she stretched.

" Oh yes that's right. Don't worry Lils, at least I don't have to hug, hold hands and kiss Black, let alone love Black! hahaha so don't fret." I said to her. Those are the last things I want to do.

"Mate, thank you!" Prongs said to me.

"What?"

"That means I get to spend more time with my carrot-top!"

"Oh just give it a rest, mate!"

"Never. So why did you even agree to the whole fake relationship with Hastings anyway?" Moony asked me.

"Because."

"Because, what?"

"Because."

"Because, what?" Moony asked again, a bit more frustrated. As both of them started to stare me down, it was getting a bit uncomfortable . .

" Because." I repeated again.

" Because you like her?" Prongs asked me, my head shot up.

" NO!"

" Sure, mate!" Remus said, looking back at his book.

" I DO NOT!!" I yelled back.

" Whatever." Prongs said. I yelled in frustration. I do not like Hastings, okay? I don't even know why I agreed to her stupid plan. Maybe cause I will get girls to like me even more, I mean since Hastings is a pretty girl and most girls are jealous of her and want her looks . . . I do not like her.

" I do not." I whispered to myself, as I flip myself on my bed. I don't like Joanne Hastings. I don't.

Here we are again. Hastings beside me and it's getting really annoying having everyone thinking that I'm dating her. I can't even snog anymore, let alone snog her. I NEED TO SNOG!! This isn't fair at all, my lips need to snog someone . . this isn't fair at all . ." Look I hate being here as much as you hate me being here with you, but this is the right way a girlfriend should act!" she argued. It's not supposed to take this long. IT'S A FEW DAYS! Kill me! That bloody git is still following her, talking to her and now he's trying to hit on her. JUST LET THE STALKING STOP, SO I CAN GO BACK TO MY REAL LIFE! WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS?! We walked into the Great Hall where she sat beside me, eating her breakfast. Kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me.

" Uh, Joanne?" Here comes the git I hate so much! Hastings looked up.

" Yes?" Hastings had a very polite side to herself. She just wouldn't dare giving me apart of it, what's so wrong with me anyways?.

" Would you like to study with me?" It looked like she was thinking.

" Um . . sure." She said. She gave me a look. I gave her a confusing face, while Nicky already left.

" Just let this one go. I really don't have the heart to reject his offers again." She whispered a little depressed. She doesn't have the heart? I nodded. YES! She's away from me! She then sighed,she didn't eat, she just picked at her food. Okay, now she's not eating . . but I can still eat." Lily?" I asked her. She looked at me, giving me her full attention.

" Yeah?

" What do you do when you got this boy that likes you a lot, but your too afraid to tell him that you're not interested." I asked, rubbing my forehead from the frustration.

" I really have no idea, I mean I do have Potter, but I don -" She stopped.

" You like Potter too? Don't cha?" I asked her, elbowing her, she blushed crimson.

" I do not!" She told me.

" I'm telling mum and dad!" I said to her as I started dancing crazy around Lily. She blushed even more, until she stuck her foot out, and I fell flat on my face, in front of two familiar shoes, that I've seen for the past week. SHIT! Why do all the bad things happen to me?

"Not 'falling' in love are we?" He asked me, with a damn smirk on his face. Potter and Remus were there, Peter was very quiet for the past few days, and he seems a bit pale too."Oh! Sod of, Bla - Sirius!" I then realized that Black was my boyfriend. " I mean, of course I'm falling for you, I've always have!" I said, putting my head on his hard chest. It was really hard! I mean I felt like I could crack my skull open just placing it on his darn chest! Owww.

" Students! We have pleasant news that we will be holding a Halloween dance. You will wear a costume and you may come alone, with a date or your friends! It will be next week! Now you will have time to wear your costumes at Hogesmede!" Dumbledore announced. I groaned.

" Say, Hastings?" Black whispered to me.

" Wanna go together? I mean since we are boyfriend and girlfriend?" He asked me. I thought about it.

" If you want to." I said, as I started to grab some food across the table.

" Okay, it's a date them, Joannie!" Black has never crossed me that much but Joannie?

" Bl-Sirius, call me that one more time and I'll-" I didn't finish.

" You'll kiss me?" He finished. I set my fork down, then looked at him, looking at me.

" If you don't stop with all of these lovely dovey things, I will kiss you!" I said, as a threat. Too bad someone heard us.

" Kiss right now! We've never seen the two of you kiss before as a couple!?" I looked over to see the worst person to ever say those lines: Nicholas Jennings. Black and I looked at each other, as we both panicked. Why do I have to open my mouth.

"Oh, umm we don't like to kiss in public!" Black said. I was relieved. But Nicholas shot back.

" Well, how do we know if you're a couple then?" he asked. He had a good point. I looked a Black. I then acted." okay, fine." I said, as I leaned over and pecked Black on the cheek. " see?" I said blushing a little bit. Oh my gosh, I just pecked him!! What is going on with me? I look at Black, he looks a little bit shock but, I going back to my meal. I was eating, then I feel his arm going around my waist. I looked at him, but then he just kept on eating.

"What was that for?" Hastings asked me. After what just happened with that Nicky boy. God! He is obsessed with Hastings. No wonder she wants nothing to do with him!

" Look, that guy is ticking me off with all those bloody questions! I can't stand him, so we're going to make him bloody jealous,I swear!" Hastings smiled, and then chuckled.

"What?" I asked, utterly confused.

" Nothing. You just look cute when your determined." She said, as she walked up to her dorm. I smiled. I looked cute. I should be more determined just to hear her say that again. WHOA! It's been a week and a half and I'm flattered. Tomorrow is the Hogesmede trip, so I have to get my costume. Then the next holiday or celebration will be three weeks of Christmas Vacation. Yaya! I get to stay at the Mansion with the Potter's!! Yay!
