Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I really appreciate it. If anyone is interested being a Beta for me I would appreciate it. I am new so I don't really know how all that stuff works but I could use someone's expertise and thoughts.
Chapter 5: Questions
Glancing
behind her to make sure no one was watching, Rose grabbed her sister
and dragged her into an empty classroom.
"Was it me or was Sirius being evasive?
"No, it was Sirius being weird, I've never seem him like that
before, its almost as if you made him nervous."
Blushing Rose asked, "You think he likes me?"
"I don't know," Lily, replied shocked, "I don't think
Sirius has EVER liked a girl before. I mean sure he dated them and
slept with them but I don't think he actually had feelings for them
before you know."
"Yeah," Rose said
shacking her head she grabbed her sister's hand and started to walk
again. "Come on let's get to class."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The
marauders walked into their first class, Defense against the Dark
Arts, to already find the twins seating in the front row and the
class mostly filled. James and Sirius took a table behind the twins
while Remus and Peter sat behind them. Professor Goldman entered the
classroom right after the bell rang.
"Okay class we're going to jump right in here. Your seventh years
now and adults and the threats out there are being real. You need to
know how to defend your selves from real threats."
James and Sirius straightened up in
their seats a little more.
The professor
continued, "This is going to be a lot more practical no more
theory."
Rose and Lily exchanged
mischievous glances.
Walking out of their first lessons James and Sirius had "wow"
faces on. Everyone was talking about the amazing lesson.
"The best DAD we ever had," Sirius declared while the rest of
class was at a loss for words. All of them walking to their next
class with permanent expressions of amazement on their faces.
Sitting down to lunch Rose asked Lily, "Wow I can't believe this
school I should of come here years ago."
"I second the motion," Lily said laughing. Remus took a seat next
to Rose and asked, "What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing," Lily replied, "Just Rose being awed."
Rose nodded, "DAD was so cool, right?"
"Oh yeah" Remus agreed, "What do you girls have next?"
"Potions." They replied in unison.
"Will you two stop doing that freaky twin thing?'
"What freaky twin thing?" they replied.
"Never mind," Remus said shaking his head, "I'm off to my
next class, see you later."
Later that night after an eventful day of classes, Lily and James sat
down in their common room to decide the first Hogsmeade date.
"How about next Saturday?" Lily asked.
"That won't work, Quiditch, how about next Saturday?"
"That will work," Lily, replied satisfied.
"Okay, great," James paused, "Do you have anything special
planned?"
"Well, I was going to show
Rose around she has never been there before."
"Oh, that sounds fun."
"Yeah, We
are both really excited."
Glancing out
the window Lily said, "Wow, look at the full moon isn't
pretty?"
Looking down at his hand James
said hesitantly, "Yeah...real nice."
"Are you coming up to bed," Lily asked?
"NO!"
"Um okay," Lily said
thinking, "What did I say?"
"I
mean, I have some homework left to do."
"Okay," Lily said heading up to bed, "Good night."
"Night."
The next day:
Walking into the Great Hall to meet Lily for
lunch and taking a seat Rose started putting food on her plate.
"Hello"
Rose immediately jerked her
head up to see a tall boy standing above her whom she immediately
recognized as seventh year Hufflepuff Amos Diggory.
"Hello," Rose responded.
"I was
wondering if you wanted to accompany me to Hogsmeade?"
Rose grimaced, she hated hurting people's feelings, "I would love
to but I already have plans with Lily. I'm sorry maybe next
time?"
To Rose's relief Amos smiled
and said, "Sure, I hope you have a good time with your
sister."
"Thank you and I hope you
have a good time too."
Gasping for
breath Lily slid into the seat next to Rose and Amos walked off,
"What did I miss?"
"Amos Diggory
asked to Hogsmeade."
Lily raised her
eyebrows, "What did you say?"
"I
said I already had plans with you."
"You can go with him if you want to.."
"No, no I want to go with you besides I don't really have
feelings for him."
"Waiting on Sirius
Black?"
"No!" Rose said mock
slapping Lily on her arm.
Lily laughed,
"Okay fine Rose whatever you say."
A few seats down Sirius Black was glaring daggers at Amos Diggory for talking to his girl.
That afternoon Remus was in the library looking for information for
his potions essay.
"Hey Remus," Lily
said sitting down across from him, "What are you doing?"
"Just finishing up this essay for Slughorn."
"I finished mine, it was so easy right?"
Thinking of the five hours he spent researching and writing Remus
replied, "Only for you Lily."
Lily
laughed and said calmly, "So I wanted to talk to you about
Sirius."
Remus jerked his head about
and said suspiciously, "What about Sirius?"
"Well, I wanted to know what he thinks of Rose?"
Not wanting to out one of his best friends to his potential future
girlfriend's sister Remus replied, "He thinks she's nice."
"Just nice?"
"And pretty..well
anyone who has eyes can say that."
"Oh,
okay thanks Remus."
"Anytime."
Just as Lily stood up James sat down.
"Bye guys," Lily said as she half walked half ran out of the
library.
"What was that about?"
James asked.
"Nothing, Lily was just
asking me about Sirius."
"Sirius?"
James said with a frown on his face.
"Yeah," Remus nodded, "and what he thought of Rose."
"I wonder if Rose likes Sirius like he likes her?"
"I don't know, we will have to keep a close eye on them."
James nodded
agreeing.
That evening Sirius Black was walking under James's invisibility
cloak to the kitchens. Upon tickling the pear, Sirius entered to find
one of the Evan's twin sitting there enjoying a bowl of fudge
tracks ice cream.
"Rose or Lily?"
Sirius asked, you can't blame the poor bloke I mean they were
identical twins.
The girl smiled,
"Rose."
Sirius grinned, "What are
you doing down here so late?"
"Just
wanted a little alone time. You?"
"Same."
"I am really excited about
Hogsmeade."
"That's right, I
forgot, you have never been there before?"
"Yeah."
"Well," Sirius said
sitting down and ordering a plate of cookies, "You have to go to
Zonkos, it's the best and Honey dukes is great too."
"Thanks for the advice," Rose grinned.
"So are you going with anyone," Sirius asked smoothly.
"No, Amos Diggory asked me, but I already told Lily I would go with
her."
"That's nice."
"Yeah, well I better be going, its getting late."
"I'm done too, I will walk back with you."
"Great," Rose said beaming.
Wrapping
an arm around her Sirius and Rose walked back to the common room.
Sirius walked into the room he shared with Remus and Peter and
viscously kicked his dresser.
Remus
looked up, "What's the matter with you?"
"Nothing."
"Sirius."
Sirius sighed, "Amos Diggory asked Rose to Hogsmeade."
"Did she say yes?"
"No she said
no."
"But you're angry?"
"Hell yes."
"Well, what are you
going to do about it."
"Something, I
don't know what yet but something." Sirius said flopping onto his
bed.
"Need any help?"
Sirius looked over at Remus and they exchanged mischievous glances.
Next: Lots of James and Lily goodness. Do you like the whole Rose/Sirius thing?
