This one's for you Keiba Namid.
Here's a quick warning: All these characters are teenagers without any parental supervision. Naturally, they aren't quite as hidden about sexual topics. You've been warned. ;)
Chapter 6: Sirius is Finally Catching On
"Remus, I think I need to ask you a question."
"Yes, Sirius?"
"I need to ask you about girls."
In response, Remus choked on his orange juice and spat it out onto his breakfast plate. "What?" Remus chuckled. "I'm gay, remember? Not to mention, you are the master of charm."
"Yes, but the girl I'm kind of digging right now always blabs to you."
"Oh, Autumn. Yes, I heard about the kiss." Remus raised his eyebrows. "At least she's finally beginning to realize what's best for her."
"I need you to teach me how to act around her so that she can trust me enough to date me." Sirius had no arrogant gleam in his eye, he was dead serious.
"Deal. Just don't break her heart, manwhore." Remus grinned, then added as an afterthought, "Well, she likes you anyway, I suppose."
"Okay, so what do I do?"
"Try to have an actual, meaningful conversation with her before you feel her up."
Sirius groaned. That was one thing he did not have a clue how to do. (To give a hint, he was very good at the feeling up part.)
NEW SCENE
"Lily," James said nervously, "Lily, will you go with me to Hogsmead this weekend?"
Lily raised her eyebrow and twisted her hair around her finger. "I…uh…" Then she thought of Autumn. "Yes, I would like that very much."
"Wait, really?"
"Well, at least you asked at the right time, so yes."
James was ecstatic. He boldly gave Lily a quick kiss on the cheek. "Oh, I, uh…I'm sorry." He said nervously, backing away.
"Don't be." Lily leaned in and kissed him full on the mouth.
NEW SCENE
"Halleluiah!" Autumn grinned.
"Nice, mate!" Remus said.
"Have you done it yet?" Sirius asked, high-fiving James.
"Oh, good. That's great James," Peter muttered.
James just grinned, "I can't believe she said yes," he spoke, shaking his head. "Finally!"
"Well, she didn't just say yes, did she James? I heard you guys exchanged some saliva, too." Autumn said mischievously, waggling her eyebrows.
"You told Autumn, but you didn't tell me mate!" Sirius exclaimed.
James frowned. "Actually, I didn't tell Autumn."
"Lily told me," Autumn answered, "Oh, and honey, you would not believe how happy she was."
"Happy, eh? Hey James, you might need some on these," Sirius said pulling out a few square packets from his bag.
"Dear God, Sirius! Put those away," Autumn said, exasperatedly banging her head against her palm.
"There's nothing wrong with James finally losing the V-card, Autumn."
Autumn sighed in response and James flushed bright red.
"I think it's good to wait for the right person. If I could take back my first time I would." Autumn said thoughtfully.
"When was your first time?" Sirius asked.
Autumn winced. "I'd rather not say."
"Everyone here is still a virgin except for you and Sirius," Peter pointed out and Autumn looked quite ashamed.
"Well, I certainly don't mind saying. My first was with Terry Meyer two years ago." Sirius said easily.
"Oh, well, fine. Mine was with Drew Hatcher. I was thirteen, he was fifteen. We did it in the empty potions classroom." Autumn's friends looked shocked, except for Lupin.
"Shit." James muttered.
"I slept with his sister." Sirius said.
Autumn raised her eyebrows at Sirius. "I need to get to History of Magic. Are you coming, Padfoot?"
NEW SCENE: IN HISTORY OF MAGIC
History of Magic was by far the most lackluster subject at Hogwarts. It was taught by a ghost, Professor Boring, Autumn called him. Autumn and Sirius took their seats in the back of the class, which allowed them to chatter endlessly, while Professor Boring droned on obliviously.
"Are you staying here for Christmas?" Sirius asked.
"Of course! Go home to my dad? I think not."
"Why do you hate your dad so much?"
"Why wouldn't I? He's a jackass," She said weakly.
Then Sirius had an idea. "Well, you aren't the only one with screwy parents. If you ever want to talk about it with me, then feel free to." Now if that wasn't meaningful conversation, he didn't know what was.
Autumn was taken aback, but then she smiled sweetly. "Thanks, Sirius," she said, squeezing his hand.
My God, Remus was right. "How about you tell me after class. We can go somewhere more private, If you like. "
She nodded, still smiling. "I think I would like that, Sirius."
Ooh, somewhere private! What will happen? Oh, you guys are perverts, but you may be on to something…
I guess you will just have to find out in the next chapter!
