Chapter 2: Hi….
Sirius woke up very early the next morning; he was real excited to see what stuff he got. He figured he shouldn't wake James yet…. Nah that would be mean…
Well maybe one little peek…
Sirius found himself walking down the long flights of stairs into the living room, he stopped short.
"Who are you?" What Sirius saw was a girl his age in a green dress with a red bow in her long brown hair.
"Hi…" she said smiling
"Oh my gosh, I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming…."
"You're not," said the girl simply
"What are you doing here?" he asked, "It's Christmas, you can't be breaking in here- dressed like that."
"I'm not breaking in," said the girl "I'm your girl friend."
"PRONGS!"
"Oh crud, Um… you just wait right there, I'll be right back…" Sirius dashed up the stairs to wake his sleeping pal
"PRONGS!! You gotta get up! It's Christmas! AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I GOT!"
"Huh?" said James groggily "You peeked again didn't' you."
"Not exactly, listen I need you to come down and tell me what you see."
"Ok…." Before James could say anymore Sirius was dragging James down the stairs.
"Sirius I don't know what's up with you I mean I'm excited about my gifts too but I'm still tired and- I'm in heaven." James stared at the girl wide eyed.
"Sirius, what's a hot girl doing in my living room?"
"You can see her?"
"Yep, either we're having the same dream or it's real."
"Hi…." Said Sirius again "Who are you? Sorry to ask again…"
"I'm Shelby, and I'm your girlfriend." James jaw was on the floor, speechless
"Erm… Are you sure you're my girlfriend?"
"Are you Sirius Black?"
"Well, yeah-"
"Then I'm your girlfriend."
"How come he get's a girlfriend for Christmas and I don't! It's my house!"
"Look I don't even know if I want her to be my girlfriend I mean she's nice looking and all but, I've never met her in my entire life it's kind of freaking me out!" said Sirius
"Well," said James "If you don't want her, can I have her?" The girl shook her head
"I'm sorry, James Potter, I am Sirius' girlfriend, I can be no one else's, and after all he made the wish-"
"THE WISH!" cried Sirius and James in unison.
"How was I supposed to know it was going to come true!"
"Why didn't I make that wish!"
"What happened?" asked Sirius
"The star," Shelby said simply, "You made a wish upon a shooting star, but not just any star, it's the star of Merlin, it passes by only once a year around the holiday season and whoever makes a wish when it passes by their house, their wish comes true, the star of Merlin was over James' house, Sirius, you made the wish. And here I am."
"But can I take the wish back?" asked Sirius, Shelby shook her head
"No, I am your girlfriend until the star of Merlin passes again, so next year, you can wish me away." Sirius sighed,
"So that means, I can't date anyone except you for a whole year?"
"Yes,"
"No one else?"
"Yes,"
"Fine, but how can I date a magical creation thing you are when I have to go back to school when the holidays are over!"
"Wait, Sirius," said James speaking again, "You look familiar, and I can't seem to figure out how…"
"I remember you too James,"
"Did I once date you?"
"No, I go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and I'm a Ravenclaw 6th year Chaser"
"Oh I remember you! You stole that Quaffle from me 2 years ago! Your last name is Chantelle isn't it?"
"Yes,"
"Wow, I wonder how The Star of Merlin convinced you to be Padfoot's girl for a year."
"I don't know how it happened," said Shelby, "I barely remember my friends, I think it wiped some of my memory. All I know is what school I go to, all the magic I've learned and my best friends and family."
"Shelby, " said Sirius "do you think it's best that I wish you back to normal- er- next year?"
"That would be nice,"
"Fine then, for exactly one year, I guess I'm your boyfriend," Shelby stood up and shock Sirius' outstretched hand.
"Can we open the rest of our gifts now?" asked James, Sirius agreed and the two of them attacked their gifts like wolves, while Shelby went to the kitchen.
"You know Prongs?" said Sirius munching on some Chocolate Remus Lupin sent him, "I might get used to this. I wouldn't be bothered by so many girls for a whole year."
"Yeah, you have fun with Shelby while she lasts, I'm just upset I could've wished for Evans if I had known that there was a wishing star!"
"Don't worry mate you'll get her…eventually, maybe….never..." James tried to throw a book at Sirius' head but he ducked.
"Hey," said James, "Something smells good." Sirius sniffed the air.
"You're right," Shelby walked back out into the living room,
"I have breakfast ready if you want it."
"You made breakfast?" asked Sirius dumbfounded
"I don't' have any gifts, I checked so I figured I might as well make breakfast figuring you guys don't know how to cook."
"She's good," James said aside to Sirius
"Full of surprises," The got up tripping over some wrapping paper and headed toward the kitchen, when they walked in their mouths started to water, there was pancakes, French toast, warm syrup, fresh orange juice, and some fruit. It looked delicious.
Shelby snapped them out of their stupor by pushing them into chairs. Shelby seated herself in another chair across from them. Without hesitation James and Sirius dug in, chewing happily. Shelby helped her self to a few pancakes silently.
"Mmmm" said James, "What did you put into this French toast? It's delicious!"
"Paprika and cinnamon." Said Shelby sipping some orange juice. Sirius felt like making a comment, but before he could the floor shook and there was two loud bangs, causing Sirius to spit out his juice on accident onto Shelby's dress.
"I'm sorry!" said Sirius
"It's fine, really," said Shelby getting up and took a rag and dabbed her dress dry with it.
"Hey, Prongs! Padfoot! " called the voice of Remus Lupin "We figured you'd be lonely so we decided to drop by and give you some com-" Remus stopped his sentence as he stepped into the room and saw Shelby, dabbing her chest with a rag,, James with his mouth full of French toast, and Sirius biting his lip and looking apologetically at Shelby.
"Er… Am I interrupting something?" He asked,
"O mo!" said James with the toast still in his mouth, with some syrup dripping down his chin. " I Ooney!" Peter peeped his head around the corner,
"Hi," he said.
"Hey, Moony, Wormtail," said Sirius, "Um, This is Shelby," Shelby quickly put her rag down and waved.
"Hi," she said,
"What's she doing here?" asked Remus "No offence," he added to Shelby
"None taken,"
"She's… my- my- er… "
"Girlfriend," Shelby finished
"Yeah what she said," Remus raised and eye
"Ok…"
"It's such a stupid story you'll never believe it!" said James "But she's awesome! Look at this food!"
"Food?" Peter perked up.
"Help yourself, " said Shelby, Peter didn't have to be told twice, he sat down and heaped a pile of pancakes onto his plate. Remus shrugged and poured some orange juice for himself.
"We got plenty of time Sirius," said Remus, "Do tell us what we missed." Peter nodded with pancake in his mouth.
"I don't know-"
"We got all Christmas Day come on!"
"I'll tell you!" said James, between gulps of orange juice. He quickly retold the story, it wasn't entirely accurate though…
"And I swear I thought she was my girlfriend but Padfoot got the better part of the deal I mean she seemed perfect for me I mean I even offered to trade but Padfoot was too selfish and said no-"
"That's not what happened!" said Sirius, "I was willing to trade! Er, no offence Shelby" Shelby just nodded that it was ok. Sirius told the story – the real version. It lasted all through breakfast,
"Ok, it's hard to believe but she's the evidence so I don't see why it's a lie" said Remus,
"So what do you think we should do now?" asked James
"Let's go out side!" said Shelby, "it's snowing!"
"Dressed like that?" asked Remus, Shelby looked down at her green dress, it was in no shape for playing out in the snow.
"You can borrow my Mum's clothes," James offered, "I'm sure she wouldn't mind,"
"Yeah, we'll wait for you." Said Sirius opening the door. Shelby was stifling a laugh
"What?"
"You think you're going out like that?" she said breaking out into a small fit of laugher. Sirius looked down, he and James were still in pajamas.
"Oops…"
o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
When they were all fully dressed they all piled outside into the Potter's back yard, it was all white in a beautiful blanket of snow.
"Wow," said Peter,
"Yep," said James "It looks like this every year,"
"No lie," said Sirius
"Hey where did Shelby go?" asked Remus,
POW!
"Ouch!" Remus' question was soon answered for him when Shelby began pelting snowballs at the four of them.
"You're going down!" said Sirius scooping up some snow. Shelby ducked behind a bush just in time,
"Dang it!"
POW!
"Ouch… That was my head!" Shelby came out and started laughing. James then pelted her in the back with a snowball,
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT POTTER!" she yelled tossing snowballs at James' running figure he got crushed. Sirius took that as his chance and pelted Shelby in the butt.
"Excuse me." Said Shelby, "Was that on purpose?"
"Well, I-"
POW!
And that started a huge snowball fight, Shelby, Remus and Peter against Sirius and James. Let's just say Shelby got back at Sirius good for that butt- smacking snowball.
Soon they had to stop because they were all freezing cold from their soaking clothes with snow everywhere. They all plopped on the snow tired, Shelby made a snow angel. When she got up to take a look at it, so did the others.
"Not bad," said Remus
"I can make a better one." Said Sirius plopping back on the snow, making his angel. He got up….It looked a little deformed.
"Well her's has the feminine cut! You know mines' good for the male cut!" was his excuse.
"I bet I can do a better one than yours." Said Remus.
"Ok, try it!" Remus lay down on the snow and made a more decent looking angel. James and Peter followed suit, but Peter's looked a little chubby.
"Let's go inside to warm up and then we can play Quidditch, I'm dying to try out my new Quidditch gear I got." Said James, the others thought it was a good idea, and Shelby made them all some hot chocolate as they warmed up by the fire.
"This has been a real interesting Christmas." Said Sirius, "And it's not just about you." Sirius added to Shelby "There's just…a lot"
"I agree" said James
"Hey," said Remus "where do you live Shelby?"
"Oh," Shelby started, "I'm muggle born, so I live kind of far from here… I live just on the outskirts of London, "
"Oh, that's nice,"
"Are you able to go back?" asked James
"I should be able to floo."
"Good cause if your still here when my Mum get's back…We'd have a LOT of explaining to do, she might get the wrong idea…" Shelby gave James a shove.
"I'll leave to night," said Shelby "Then I'll see you at Hogwarts."
"Alright," said Sirius "But you have to make some stuff me and James can reheat, we can't cook one bit- except for junk food"
"No problem,"
"Now that that's settle and we're warmed up." Said James coming down with five brooms "How about some Quidditch?"
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
They all kicked off on the field just playing for fun, James and Shelby were Chasers, Sirius was the Beater (they were using only one bludger) Peter was Seeker and Remus was Keeper.
James and Shelby took turns scoring against Remus while Sirius protected them from the bludger, Peter kept chasing the Snitch but it was giving him some trouble. Sirius was really impressed with how Shelby played, the funny thing was he never recognized her from playing Quidditch, maybe it was because he was always chasing the bludgers… Or he got to many blows to the head with the bludgers….either one works .
Soon the time came when they had to come inside again. Shelby made a few sandwiches and things for James and Sirius and then she had to floo back come.
She said good- bye to everyone with a smile and took some powder James offered her and stepped into the flames.
"#7 Marigold Road, London!"
With a puff of Green smoke she was gone.
A/N: Wow. That was longer than I though. PLEASE REVIEW! I worked so hard on this chapter!
