Chapter 5: Surprise!
Shelby sat in the library reading one of her favorite books. It was the Hogsmeade weekend and she wasn't going, just like she planned it. She turned each page but soon her longing to go to Hogsmeade made her read slower and made her not want to turn the next page. She looked up, she had a sudden feeling she was being watched.
Then Sirius' head suddenly popped out of nowhere. Shelby gasped and almost screamed, she was stopped by his hand, which suddenly appeared.
Once she calmed down Sirius took off the cloak completely.
"You have an invisibility cloak?" She asked still in shock from his sudden appearance.
"er- actually it's James' but he let me borrow it so I could take you somewhere. "
"What do you mean?"
"Come on!" He took her hand and almost dragged her out of the library leaving her book on the floor. She'd have to get it back from Madam Pince later.
"Where are we going!" she demanded as they ran down the corridors.
"You'll see." He grinned. They finally stopped at the statue of one – eyed witch.
"The one – eyed witch?" she questioned. Sirius ignored her, pulled out his wand and said "Dissendium." The hump opened. Sirius took out the cloak and put it around both of them.
"Come on!" he whispered and helped her down into the tunnel.
"Sirius where are we going, I don't like this."
"Just trust me…"
They walked a long way through a winding tunnel, which was pretty dark, but Sirius confidently led the way with the help of his lighted wand.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Shelby asked for about the twelfth time
"Yes," said Sirius getting exasperated, "And we're here." He lifted up a board and helped her up out of the tunnel making sure the cloak covered them both.
"Where are we?" she whispered. She saw all the candy and with 'Honeydukes' logo on them. "Honeydukes?" she questioned.
"Yep, now stay quiet so we can sneak out of here." Shelby obeyed and stayed close to him under the cloak as he led them out of Honeydukes avoiding greedy kids from Hogwarts happily buying sweets. Once they emerged from the store he led her to a currently empty spot in Hogsmeade so they could remove the cloak for now.
"Well…surprise." Said Sirius as he took it off of them. "Whadaya think? "
"I think that you are the most insane, idiotic, rule breaking, conniving, liar, I have ever met with the attention span of a slug!" she declared. "But," she added, "That was very sweet of you. Thank you, now am I going to have to wander around Hogsmeade under that cloak or yours?"
"James' cloak actually, and only if you want to."
"I'd rather not," said Shelby, "But I don't necessarily want to be seen. Plus I didn't bring any money since you dragged me here without my knowledge."
"Don't worry about it." said Sirius "I got it all planned out. "
"What do you mean?" Shelby asked
"Come on," He took her hand again.
"Oh no, your not dragging me somewhere again are you?" Shelby said reluctantly following him.
"Well you don't necessarily have to be dragged, you can walk on your own, we can run, or I can take you back, and spend your after noon in misery at the library. Your choice. Heck I can even carry you." Shelby burst into giggles,
"Ok, I'll follow." She followed him on a small trail and he led her to the top of a hill. Waiting for them was a blanket and a large basket.
"A picnic? Aww it's so cute!" Shelby grinned and moved to sit on the blanket.
"Not just that. " said Sirius "There is a nice view of Hogsmeade down below, so you can enjoy it without snickering gits who no longer have respect for us down there." Shelby nodded in agreement, looking down at the view of the small village.
"So what's in the basket?" She asked reaching to lift the flap.
"Lunch, naturally." Said Sirius, removing some sandwiches, and 2 bottles of butter beer "Which of course I made myself." He added handing a sandwich to her. She raised an eyebrow.
"Ok, Ok, fine I bought them at some restaurant down there. But it was a lot of effort. And also…" He said digging into the basket, "For desert we have tons on stuff from Honeydukes, I didn't know exactly what you liked so I got a bit of everything." He dumped out a gigantic pile of sweets.
"Oh my," Shelby gasped "You really shouldn't ha- " Sirius ignored her.
"Let's see, there is also…He reached deep into the basket. Some typical stuff you would get at Hogsmeade…" He tossed out a couple of quills, some parchment and 2 inkwells. "Hang on…What's this…" Sirius took out a Zonko's bag and out rolled some dung bombs. "Er… oops. That was for me actually." He said hastily putting them back. "I could've sworn there was something else…Aha, here it is..." He took out some broom polish. "I think that's it, unless this basket has some secret pocket or something." He looked up at Shelby; she was in a state of shock. She opened her mouth to say something but it took a few moments for the words to roll off of her tongue.
"I –I - Sirius, - you – you thank you, but – I mean – you – you – shouldn't have…"
"Don't worry about it." said Sirius. "Now eat before something else decides to for you." Shelby happily obliged.
They ate quietly for awhile, because Shelby was really hungry and she knew that she would stutter if she tried to talk again.
