Message for The Green Bird: OMG Thanks sooo much for pointing that out! Don't worry though I have changed it! I'd just been shopping all day with my friends and I couldn't stop thinking of this gorgeous top I tried on in River Island but :'( it was too expensive! Ah the trials of teenage life eh! lol But I did mean dress to pull. I don't know where you from but in England to 'pull' is to pull a lad or get a lad. If you get me. So like last night if I went out with my friends on the pull we'd be looking for fit lads to chat up. Get me? Well I've changed it to a daring school uniform for you! Please forgive me! begs on floor xxx
It was late. Sirius was pacing the boy's dorm.
"Why doesn't she fancy me? How can she not fancy me? ME!" Sirius asked the room.
"Maybe she doesn't like you," Remus said from under his duvet.
"How could any girl not fall for the charms of Sirius Black?" Sirius questioned, ignoring Remus. "I have the looks, the status, the wit, the personality and even the money."
"Shut up," Remus said.
"It's like I'm seeing her for the first time you know. All different and… shiny," Sirius said.
"Sirius why does she look shiny to you?" Remus asked, sitting up.
"You know all bright and shiny and sparkly," Sirius said.
"You mean her lip gloss don't you?" Remus said. "Or you've had too much of that firewhisky."
"No way, she's ... different," Sirius said.
"Well not that many girls decided to pose as boys just to get on a Quidditch team. Most would just knee someone in the balls. Although she did that as well," Remus said. Sirius laughed.
"Yeah she did. I'll never wash my balls again," he sighed.
"Erm, Sirius, are you being, er, serious?" Remus asked.
"No, well maybe, no! Course not, my balls have been everywhere," Sirius said.
"Tell me something I don't know," Remus said.
Meanwhile a slightly different conversation was going on in the girl's dorm.
"You're such a tease," Lily said, wiping off her make up in front of the mirror.
"So is he, it's about time he got a taste of his own medicine. He messes girls around too much. It annoys me so I'll take much pleasure in annoying him. And I'm going to dangle other guys before his eyes," Monique giggled.
"You're mad," Alice, another roommate, commented. "If Sirius Black was after me I'd do whatever he wanted me to."
"Well I'm not as passive as you Alice," Monique smiled. "And not half as much of a slut," she muttered darkly to Lily. Lily giggled.
"So, who've you set your sights on?" Lily asked.
"I'm not sure, whoever takes my fancy. Whoever comes up to me? I dunno really," Monique said. Monique had never had a proper boyfriend before. She'd never been serious about someone. That was why she was so unsure about her feelings. She snogged at parties. She even went on casual dates. She was no stranger to boys. She'd just never bothered with any boyfriends.
"I bet that dark haired boy from Ravenclaw asks you out. He was getting his eye candy when you turned back today," Lily said.
"Him, the one with the hair? Ew! No way Lils," Monique said. "I had my eye on the blonde one. He's in Gryffindor, in seventh year. Absolutely gorgeous."
"Nice choice!" Lily grinned.
"So what about James?" Monique asked. Lily rolled her eyes.
"What about him?" Lily sighed.
"He's not that bad Lils," Monique said.
"Not that bad?! Not that bad?! Are you forgetting he kicked you off the team!?" Lily yelled.
"No, but he let me back on didn't he? He's loyal, funny, smart. It's not his fault people worship him. He's only an arrogant prat when you're around. He's not used to you being around; he feels the need to try too hard to impress you. So hard it never works," Monique said. Lily sighed.
"The problem is that I keep hearing of this other James but I never see him," Lily said.
It was breakfast time. Monique was dressed to pull. Well, as far as the school uniform would allow. Her skirt had been daringly shortened, the first few buttons of her school shirt were left undone and her hair was blow dried and down. Her make up was immaculate.
"You seriously don't know how great it feels to wear a skirt and a tonne of make up on again! I felt practically naked without my make up on," Monique said. Lily laughed. Lily nudged Monique as the Marauders sauntered in. Almost every girls' head turned their way. Monique looked up through her mascara laden eyelashes at Sirius. He was seeking her out through the Gryffindor table. He looked away once he saw her.
"Hey there's Lily!" James grinned. He shoved his way through the crowds to where she sat with Monique.
"Hey Evans," James said casually. "Mal- I mean Monique."
"Hey James," Monique smiled.
"Potter," Lily grunted. James was slouched in his seat across from Lily. He was desperately trying to seem casually cool but he looked as if he'd broken his back. Remus and Peter followed so Sirius dragged his feet behind them.
"Hi Remus! Peter! Sirius," Monique smiled. But her smile faltered once she saw Sirius.
"Monique," Sirius muttered, as he sat down. He poured out some cornflakes and picked at them. Flicking them at James.
"It was a good game yesterday wasn't it?" Monique smiled at Sirius.
"Yeah, I guess so," Sirius said.
"I thought you were really good," Monique smiled and moved her leg so it brushed against his. Sirius finally clicked that she was flirting with him. He broke into a large grin.
"Yeah, well, I guess it was good when I slammed that bludger into Dixon's face," Sirius bragged, it was as if his ego was inflating even larger. Monique could practically visualise it expanding and taking up the whole room. Pushing everyone out or pressing them against the walls.
"Very impressive, I like that in a man," Monique said, fluttering her eyelashes at him. She knew how his fangirls acted. And how Sirius reacted to them. A bit of flattery went a long way with Sirius Black. As did some cleavage, skin and acting as if you were having eyelid spasms. Lily was holding back laughter. Remus, Peter and James were staring in shock.
"How about we meet up later?" Sirius suggested. He was grinning arrogantly and taking up a lot of space on the bench as he was slouched over. He was sure that his charm had finally worked on Monique. How could any girl last long in his presence and not fancy him?
"Where?" Monique asked. She kept the fangirl ready-to-giggle smile plastered on her face.
"Well I was thinking-" Sirius started.
"Hey Monique, long time no see, huh?" Alex, the blonde boy from the year above grinned down at her. Monique smiled.
"Or we did see each other but you just didn't recognise me," Monique laughed. "Wait, you're good at Potions right?" Alex nodded. "Oh thank god! I really need some help on this essay!"
"I could helpÂ" Sirius was cut off once again.
"And I heard you were a total genius when it comes to Potions, so I was wondering if you'd help me with it? I have a free period now if you have the time?" Monique cocked her head to one side and smiled sweetly. She was blatantly ignoring a furious Sirius.
"Sure," Alex grinned. Monique leaned in so she was close to Sirius's face, "Sorry honey, maybe another time." She winked and got up. Alex's arm was almost immediately around her waist as they left the Great Hall together. It was common knowledge that Alex had just broken up with his long term girlfriend and was on a series of rebounds. No one would get hurt, except maybe Sirius but it was about time he knew what it felt like.
Monique arrived very late to Transfiguration and was fairly ruffled.
"Sorry I'm late Professor," she said. "I felt a bit ill so I stayed in bed for a bit. I feel better now though."
"Ok, just get to work with Miss Evans," Professor McGonagall was slightly preoccupied with a large teapot which was running around the classroom and snorting.
"I see you had a good time," Lily said.
"A very good time," Monique said.
It wasn't long until the whole school knew about Monique's shenanigans. Sirius was still angry.
"Why did you blow me off earlier?" he snapped.
"Whatever do you mean?" Monique asked, innocently.
"We were going to meet off then you go off with Alex!" Sirius hissed.
"Well, I got busy didn't I? I obviously had better things to do," Monique said airily. "Why don't you run off to your giggling fan-girls? They might provide some comfort to you. As for me, I have bigger fish to fry."
