You can still change this!! Every vote counts but as I forgot to say before I am perfectly open to any ideas at all these can be on plot, characters, ships etc. Just remember to include such ideas into your reviews.

I am sorry for being so late… I've had exams and the evil mother wouldn't let me on the computer unless I was studying shakes fist

Sirius: Why don't you run away then? I did and now I am very happy.

She's not that evil. She buys me chocolate after all

Sirius: Chocolate :-D

Besides this chapter has more chocolate in it. I do not own any of these places the characters go… I have actually been to the Cadbury chocolate factory where they do whip white chocolate drool actually I have been to most of the places they go… my parents like traveling

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alyssa POV

Alyssa walked back to the group from talking to Lily, sighing. Lily had planned this all she had planned for her to be with Sirius, her Hermione and Ginny. Well at least she had Ginny and Remus to keep the overactive teen under control.

"Ok people… we have been given the Eastern Coast of Australia. I suggest we start with Tasmania, it's really pretty down there"

"Can we go to the chocolate factory first?" asked Remus, she could see that just the idea of a whole factory of chocolate was making his mouth water.

"I agree" said Ginny

"Chocolate!" Sirius yelled delightedly

"Fine, Fine"

"But" added Ginny "Sirius is not to get too high on sugar, it'll ruin our day. He will not sit still, not that he sits still anyway"

"I do sit still" Sirius looked indignantly at Ginny "I sleep every night, don't I?"

"He thrashes a lot though" Remus sniggered

"Not when Alyssa was there"

"True"

"Maybe I should tell Alyssa what did happen. Sirius Black's soft spot"

"You wouldn't"

"Lily would"

"What is going on?" asked Alyssa, she didn't like what she was hearing "What are you talking about Sirius?"

"Later" he said dismissively "Let's go to the factory"

A moment later they appeared outside a large cream building decorated with the large Cadbury logo painted on the side and billboards around which had various types of chocolate on them.

They followed the signs and the striped yellow lines to a large door which was flanked on either sides by large evergreen trees, which spilled their dead leaves onto the paths.

They walked in the doors and stepped in a room doused in purple, brown and gold.

They all sat smiling until Ginny spoke "Admire later, the tour is leaving soon"

They moved mutely to a group which was gathering around a lady who was wearing black and purple with a splashing of the gold Cadbury lettering. Their group only consisted of about ten people, including them. There was a man and woman with their two kids, a random who looked about their age and a middle aged man with a huge beer gut.

"See Moony" whispered Sirius "That's what'll happen if you eat too much chocolate"

"I can't… werewolf metabolism. You however…"

"Play a lot of Quidditch to burn it off"

Alyssa couldn't help but giggle at the so pre-rehearsed argument; she could see why the marauders were so close. They all fit perfectly.

Sirius POV

They stepped into a smooth arching corridor with no windows and painted on one of its walls was the factory in perfect detail from the trucks with little workers in purple polo shirts and even to every little sign painted to perfection.

Remus squinted at it "This is far too intricate to be muggle done; you would need a magnifying spell to pull it off"

"Why do they even need it, they could just go outside to see this same sight" Sirius said bored "When do we get to the chocolate?"

The tour guide led them down stopping every now and then with some 'pointless comment' as Sirius put it, which everyone but him seemed to hand onto as if it too was made of chocolate. It wasn't until they went through a pair of white and silver double doors that he even paid attention to anything.

The hallway they were in was made of glass and looked into the making of the giant fundraising freddos.

Sirius watching the moulds move along a conveyer belt and get filled with the smooth liquid chocolate, needless to say everyone else (especially Remus) was glued to the glass as well. Sirius wrenched away to watch his friends faces watching every drop which missed with a sort of hungry obsession, maniac glints in their eyes, a sort of hungry fire.

It was they that Ginny who also had pulled away said "I think chocolate is the work of the devil"

Remus glared at them angrily "Is not!"

Sirius looked at him eyes glinting, he loved these arguments. "Is too" he said in a slow and deadly voice.

"Is not"

"Is too"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is NOT!"

"Is TOO!"

"IS NOT!"

"IS TOO!"

"QUIET!" The tour guide did not look happy at all about this little argument between the two. Sirius couldn't help it; he loved to wind people (especially Remus) up. Remus mainly because he was so much more of a challenge to wind up than, say James. James went of his rocker if you ever said anything about Lily or his hair. In the back of his mind Sirius considered if Harry would be sensitive about the same things.

However the tour guide had won, this time and this time only. Sirius usually would have tried to flirt his way out of it, but he wasn't in them mood. Wait a sec… He, Sirius Black, not in the mood? Something was seriously wrong with him. No siriusly but seriously.

"Sirius are you alright?" whispered Remus "Sitting back isn't like you"

Sirius huffed annoyed at Remus "Thank you conscience"

"Anytime"

The tourguide lead them through yet another pair of double doors to a large room where many chocolates were being put into brightly coloured wrappers. They stopped in front of one of the machines which were twisting bright vibrant yellow wrappers on a crumbly chocolate at an alarming rate.

"This flake machine is able to twist over 200 flake chocolates a minute"

She said proudly and looked around as if expecting applause and open mouths.

"So" said Alyssa rather sourly "That was what it was designed to do"

"Besides"Sirius whispered leaning in very close so that he could whisper in her ear "Magic could do better"

He watched in delight to see her shiver, and crept a hand onto her waist his head still on her shoulder

With that she spun around accusingly "Don't"

He just smiled and ran a soft finger down her arm. However it was Remus who intervened. "Padfoot, No" he said in a firm voice his eyes flaring with golden authority.

Sirius sighed like a reprimanded dog as Ginny put her arm around Alyssa and they went to the front of the group.

"Padfoot, what were you doing? She is not one of the girls back home. You could get into so much more trouble for messing with her. Harry and Ron are her friends and they are from what I've heard protective"

"I just" Sirius sighed raven hair drooping in his eyes "She fascinates me, and I can't keep away."

"So you like her, just like any other girl"

"No, it's not. It's the glint in the eyes, the swish or her hair. She is the first person I look for in a room, not my friends but her. I'm ever conscious that she is around. I am always thinking about her and when I'm around her I can't control myself. I hardly know her…I know it sounds like obsessive stalkering…"

"It doesn't. No, you sound like James over Lily"

"Oh no… I can't"

"James will have a fit. Are you going to tell her?"

"I can't… besides who would ever believe that womanizer Sirius Black could fall in love?"

"I could and I do" Remus sighed as they lagged behind the group "I'll try and help but you'll need to cooperate and be civil to her. Learn from James' mistakes"

"Just don't tell…"

"Have I ever?"

"No, honestly Moony you are my spiritual guidance and counselor"

"Just here to help"

Ginny POV

Ginny could see that Sirius had unnerved Alyssa by his antics and as Remus pulled him away for reprimand at the back of the group she pulled Alyssa away to the front for some away time.

"You okay?"

She stared concerned into Alyssa's eyes her sea blue ones shining with sympathy. Alyssa seemed to relax her stiff pose rolling down.

"He just gets on my nerves, he thinks it's so easy to get a girl he just… ugh!!"

"I know that feeling; Malfoy tried that on me once"

"Did you tell Ron and Harry about it? He can't treat you that way"

"They would have freaked out. I would have had a guard everywhere I went, they're overprotective"

"That I do know"

"The protective barrier has spread to you already"
"Its getting there"

"Why am I not surprised?"

"You know your brother and boyfriend too well?"

"Sounds right"

"Thanks Ginny. I feel a lot better now and I recognize the fact I shouldn't tell Harry and Ron about this"

"Yeah"

"Keep an eye out for the prat"

"I'll watch your back"

They actually had not been paying attention for a while now and the tour was nearly over, (A/N: how time flies when you're having chocolate ;-D) It was then that they entered a room where they were whipping white chocolate. It was then that the girls were rejoined by Remus and a very sheepish Sirius.

Remus, Alyssa and Sirius stood memorized over the chocolate until they practically had to be pulled out of the room by Ginny who loved white chocolate too but recognized that in order to get more chocolate they would have to leave the room.

"5 more minutes" pleaded Sirius

"No" Remus said sadly. He wanted to stay too but the responsibility part in him had taken over.

"I'm sorry but this tour is now ending" the tour guide told them as they walked down a hall. But please take a pick of more Cadbury chocolates from that barrel" it was said so mechanically Ginny was tempted to check if the guide was a robot.

They walked down a hall into a small shop; it wasn't the gift shop they had walked in on however. It was tightly packed with shelves bearing the cheap defuncts of Cadbury Schweppes corp. Most was chocolate in packs of 5 blocks but there were also Listerine, Cottees and various other taken over companies.

Ginny couldn't believe her eyes they browsed the shelves taking as much as possible knowing that they could shrink it for easy carrying. They looked like greedy guts as each had about 25 blocks of chocolate.

Ginny peered over at the Listerine tab packets.

"What are these?"

"Breath fresheners. I really don't know how to describe them" Alyssa said thoughtfully "Just don't have too many at once, they are very strong. I know people who can't cope with one"

"Then" Sirius smiled hopefully at Alyssa "10 packs for me"

"Pig" Ginny said shortly

Remus POV

They bought the chocolate and a few other things useful for a house with 14 people in it, especially the 6 bottomless teenage boys.

Once out of sight in a hall outside the shop they shrunk the items where they fit nicely is Remus' feather-light backpack.

Through the next door they yet again found themselves in the original purple gift shop. Having already spent much of their money already they bought lightly. Alyssa bought a light brown top with 'Chocoholics anonymous' splayed across it and somehow convinced Remus to buy a black top with 'I'm an addict…' on the front and in melting chocolate letters '…for chocolate' on the back.

It actually was really comfortable Remus mused as he tried it on, in the cover of a change room. The black made the silvery scars from his lycanthropy seem less defined on his arms. While he had a mirror to himself he ran his fingers over the most noticeable sinister original scar from the bite on his shoulder near the base of his neck, a reminder of a near miss of his throat. His last transformation had been at the end of the last month and he was expecting the next one on Christmas. But because of the time change he was allowed an extra couple weeks grace and didn't have the next full moon until after New Years. The full moon here had been on the 14th and they had arrived on the 18th, the next full moon was the 12th of January, if they were still there then. He smiled, God bless time travel.

He walked out and bought the shirt watching Alyssa giggling at the 'Chocolate Queen' tiara Ginny had bought. Remus turned however to walk over to Sirius who looked rather indecisive.

"Cant be that hard… Padfoot?"

Sirius looked up at him far from puzzled but was smiling mischiefously.

"Glad to see you have gotten over the gloominess" Remus said dully, rolling his eyes.

"Not quite" Sirius said sadly "But look at this"

Remus peered over Sirius' shoulder to see….

"Chocolate making?"

"Think of how many annoying girls I could get rid of! Example: Cassy"

Cassy Nitea was the head of the Sirius Black Fan club. She was a pretty giggly blond who was so obsessed with Sirius it was repulsive. Remus smirked now she was stalker material. She was in the grade above them and had technically finished school but still managed to hold weekly fan club meetings at Hogwarts with the girls who remained and had recently acquired club t-shirts. Sirius had proclaimed (rather loudly) the next day at breakfast that he'd never date someone who wore one of the shirts.

This didn't stop them wearing them at club meetings however. Remus shivered from the memory of the four of the stumbling into one of those meetings. Sirius had been dutifully attacked with desperate girls trying to get something of his to 'worship'. Sadly it had been Remus and Lily who had had to magically re-grow and repair the damage done to his hair and clothes. Stupid stalker-ish fan girls, they came after James and him as well just not quite as devotedly and violently as Sirius.

Imagine what they'd do if they found out he liked Alyssa he thought Speaking of which… I need to talk to that girl

As they stepped onto the billboard surrounded sidewalk, Remus grabbed Alyssa while Sirius and Ginny seemed deep in conversation about what sounded to be Fred and George's joke shop.

"Siri-" she started angrily "Oh, hi Remus" she finished brightly

"Hi. Just wondering if you could please act civil towards Sirius for my sake?"

"But he's being such a pain, he think I'll just fall for him like some bimbo"

"He doesn't know any better, that's mainly the girls that stalk him"

"Oh"

"Talk to him, Okay? He's a nice guy really"

Alyssa looked at Remus pleadingly with a 'don't make me' look. He laughed

"I've known you for less than a day and I feel like this is a regular occurrence"

Alyssa smiled "Ok, I'll try"

Remus steeped away and whispered in Sirius' ear, who came over a grin on his face.

They ended getting into a conversation about Quidditch as Remus tried to decide where to go for lunch.
