We are SOOO sorry it has taken us so long to update. I(Meranda) have a HUGE addiction to netflix which is not only causing problems with updating but also my schoolwork. So I am trying to get a handle on it, so that I can keep giving you these wonderful chapters filled with Casselle and Sirius love. We hope you enjoy!

Chapter 32

"Alright this is not happening every day," Casselle said breathing heavily tracing lazy circles on Sirius's chest with her finger.

"What was that too much for you?" Sirius asked raising his eyebrow running his hand down her naked body.

"Please, like you could ever wear me out," She smiled.

"Oh really?" Sirius asked pushing her over.

"No more," Casselle laughed pushing Sirius away.

"So I did wear you out?"

Casselle made a face at him.

"Fine, I won't mention it" Sirius laughed pulling her back to him.

Casselle woke the next morning incredibly happy; she stretched and rolled over to see Sirius sleeping next to her his arm draped over her stomach. She smiled cuddling closer to him; she was feeling incredibly content at the moment. She closed her eyes drifting back to sleep.

"Morning love," Sirius murmured as she opened her eyes again. He was smiling down at her.

"Mmm, morning," She said smiling as he leaned down to kiss her.

They spent the day, walking the grounds hand in hand enjoying the silence that had enveloped Hogwarts since everyone left. It was really a shame that everyone would be returning to school the next day.

That night they sat by the fire, Casselle curled in Sirius's lap. She looked up at Sirius who was smiling down at her. "Sirius can we talk?" She asked quietly.

Sirius knew that tone, and his face fell immediately, "What is it?" He asked pulling her closer as if afraid to let her go.

"About everyone coming back…" She paused trying to figure out a way to say what she had on her mind. "Is there a way we could not tell people?" She asked hopefully.

Sirius looked down at her confused, "You mean be together secretly?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

Casselle looked down, and nodded slowly afraid he would get mad at her.

"Why?" He asked softly pulling her face up to look at him again.

Casselle blew out a sigh, "Just because I don't want people talking about us. I don't want to deal with the gossip and drama that comes with dating you."

Sirius laughed, "I am a pretty big deal here aren't I?"

Casselle nudged him playfully smiling, "So what do you say?"

"Sure, if that's what you want. We don't have to tell anyone." He replied leaning his head down and kissing her softly.

"Thank you," She whispered.

That night they made love in Sirius's bed and enjoyed their last night together, before everyone came back, in each other's arms.

When they went down to Breakfast, the rest of Hogwarts was arriving, Casselle yelled, "Lily!" When she saw her friend and ran over to hug her. "Oh I've missed you! How was your break?"

Lily hugged Casselle back, "Hey Cass!" She said smiling. "It was good, I'm glad to be back we had to spend Christmas with Petunia's boyfriend, Vernon."

Casselle laughed as she released her friend, "I'm sorry I can imagine that would be terrible."

"You have no idea," Lily said as they went in search of Emma.

The three Gryffindors spent the day discussing their holidays. "Oh, Cass you should have come with me, my brothers were driving me crazy all vacation," Emma complained.

"I'm sure they weren't that bad," Casselle said with a smile.

"They had to be better than spending the time with Petunia and her wretched boyfriend," Lily said grimacing.

Casselle smiled hugging her friend, "I'm sorry."

"So how was your holiday Cass?" Emma said raising her eyebrows.

"It was fine, nothing to exciting," Casselle said shrugging.

"You and Black didn't kill each other?"

"No surprisingly he was very well behaved," Casselle said trying not to smile.

Emma and Lily stared at her suspiciously, but dropped it as they went down to the common room where the marauders were having a loud conversation.

"Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" James demanded. "You're irritating me."

"Prongs I'm not doing anything!" Sirius said trying to ignore his friend.

"You have that weird smile on your face all the time! Why are you smiling like that?" James asked suspiciously.

"I'm not smiling any differently than I usually do," Sirius said indignantly.

"Exactly! You've hardly smiled all year and now all of a sudden you're smiling constantly."

"Are you honestly upset that I'm in a good mood?" Sirius asked rolling his eyes. "I'm heading down to dinner." Sirius stood his eyes flashing in the girl's direction for the first time. "Well hello ladies!" He greeted his smile brightening as his eyes fell on Casselle.

She smiled but tried to hide it, "Hello to you too, what are you lot doing?"

"Heading down to dinner, that is if James is done throwing a fit." Sirius replied dryly.

"Please, James will never stop his fitting," Lily quipped grinning.

"True very true. Would you lot like to join us to dinner?" he asked.

"Well we were going down to dinner anyway so we might as well all go together," Casselle replied.

"Something is going on between you two!" James shouted walking over to them. "What happened during the holidays?" He demanded his eyes darting between the pair.

Casselle blushed softly, but Sirius just sighed. "Nothing, we're just friends James. Will you let it go so I can eat?"

James glared at his friend before leaving through the portrait hole. Sirius winked at Casselle before following his friend followed by the girls and the rest of the marauders.

For the rest of the month, Sirius and Casselle tried to be together as much as possible, but it was difficult without being able to tell their friends. Though they did find a few times a week where they could sneak off away from their friends to find an empty classroom to spend some alone time together.

One night in late January Sirius grew increasingly angry with Casselle. They had snuck off into an empty classroom, Casselle saying she was headed to the library and Sirius said he was craving some kitchen food. They had spent the better half of an hour snogging, but Casselle pulled away.

"I should probably get back," Casselle said breathlessly.

Sirius groaned, and moved away from her. "Fine," He remarked shortly.

Casselle studied him closely, noticing his clenched jaw and the tension riddling his shoulders. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing."

"Sirius, what are you thinking?" She asked sliding over to him. When he didn't say anything she moved her lips to his neck, leaving soft kisses up to his lips. "Why won't you tell me?" She asked pouting.

"Cass stop." He said moving away.

Casselle pulled away hurt, "What's wrong?" She asked her tone turning sharp. Again he said nothing. "Sirius Black, you tell me right now or I'm leaving and not coming back." She said folding her arms.

"It's just, I don't like this." He said not looking at her.

"Like what?" She asked moving so that he was facing her.

"This sneaking around. I thought it would be fun at first, but now I hardly get to see you and when I do it's only for short periods of time a few times a week." He said frustrated.

Casselle's face fell. "Sirius I'm sorry. I know this was a lot to ask for, I'll leave you alone from now on. You can go find someone that isn't afraid to be public with you." She said moving to leave.

"What?" He practically shrieked as he reached out to hold her firmly in place.

"I understand, it's okay." She said sadly.

"Casselle I love you! I don't want anyone else, I just want you." He said forcing her to look into his eyes and believe him. "I just want more time with you..."

Casselle smiled, "I'm sorry. Can we just wait until after your birthday?" She asked biting her lip not wanting to lose him again. "I just don't want to deal with your fan girls again."

Sirius sighed, "They can be a handful. I think I can wait that long," He said as she smiled he pulled her mouth back to his rolling her on the floor. Casselle laughed as he kissed down her neck and back up to her lips.

As February started Sirius found it harder than he thought to wait until his birthday as he realized that he was not the only boy at Hogwarts that fancied Casselle.

He started to realize this as they were eating lunch one day, and a seventh year Ravenclaw came up to Casselle, his name Sirius didn't care to know.

"Uh Casselle?" He asked clearing his throat as he stood behind her.

Casselle turned confused, "Hey Stephen, did you need anything?" She asked noticing the Ravenclaw boy.

"Uh, yeah I was wondering if you would go with me to the Valentine's day dance?" He asked. Sirius gripped his fork tightly glaring at the boy from across the table.

She blanched never having said two words to the other boy she was baffaled by the proposal, "I'm sorry Stephen but I don't think I'm going."

"Oh, alright then, well…see you in class." He muttered hurrying away. Sirius let go of the breath that he didn't realize he was holding and let his grip on his fork loosen.

"Cass what're you thinking!" Lily exclaimed turning to her friend horrified. "He was gorgeous! Why didn't you say yes?"

Casselle rolled her eyes, "I don't think I'm going this year. I mean we have already been to two of them, they're getting rather old." She said her eyes drifting to Sirius who was busying himself with his eggs.

"But he was gorgeous!"

Casselle laughed, "Well maybe I'll point him in your direction." She said as James choked on his pumpkin juice glaring at her.

Lily just sighed not understanding why Casselle would pass up such a perfect opportunity.

This continued for another week, before Sirius decided to take some actions against these pursuers. It was after defense against the dark arts, when a seventh year Hufflepuff called after Casselle.

Sirius paused before slowing his pace, causing James to stare at him oddly.

"Yes?" She asked knowing what was coming.

"I heard you haven't got a date to the dance next week and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" He asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going." She said annoyed with having to explain this to everyone.

"Yeah, that's what I heard. I was hoping it was just a lie to let them down nicely."

Casselle sighed, "No it wasn't."

"Are you sure? Maybe we could go to Hogsmeade- AH!" He yelled as his sleeve split open and a nasty mark appeared on his arm. "Who did that?" He yelled looking around furiously.

Casselle eyed Sirius who she saw slide his wand into his robes, she smiled and rolled her eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He mumbled. "I should get going."

"Alright, bye." She called smiling after him.

A few days later and three more boys who were hexed while trying to ask Casselle out, Casselle met with Sirius in an empty classroom.

She pulled away, "I think we need to talk," She said as he ran his hand up to her chest.

Sirius groaned, "I hate those words." He said sitting up and pulling her up with him.

"Well maybe you shouldn't do things that require me to say them to you," She said raising her eyebrows.

'Whatever are you talking about?" He asked innocently.

Casselle rolled her eyes, "Why is it that every time a boy tries to ask me out, he gets hexed?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh stop being an arse, I know full well it's you." She said folding her arms across her chest.

"I would never," He said feigning offence.

Casselle just rolled her eyes. "Whatever, you still need to stop. You are going to hurt one of them."

"Well they should know to stay away from my girl," He said pulling her onto his lap so he could nuzzle her neck.

"They don't know I'm your girl. So you need to just let me take care of them. Okay?" She asked.

"Whatever." He moped. "I just want you to myself."

"You have me all to yourself, no one else can have me." She said kissing his cheek. "Now promise no more hexing?"

Sirius sighed, "I promise."

"Good, now where were we?" She asked wrapping her arms around him.

"Now that's what I'm talking about," He laid her back down on the floor.

The next week passed by and before Casselle knew it, it was Sirius's birthday.

"So tomorrow is my birthday," Sirius whispered as they were working on homework in one of the back tables a safe distance from each other.

"Yes I know," Casselle said not taking her eyes off her book.

"Well, am I going to get a special present?" Sirius asked raising his eyebrows suggestively as he moved his hand up her thigh.

She slapped it away, "Not if you misbehave," she said sweetly with a dark undertone to her voice.

Sirius slumped back, and pouted, "This was not what I thought it would be like."

"Oh stop pouting and help me finish this," She said.

As usual James had announced that they would have a party to honor his best mates birthday. So by the night of Sirius's birthday the common room was packed with almost all of the Hufflepuff's and about half of the Ravenclaws, not to mention the entire Gryffindor house.

The girls had all dressed in short dresses. Casselle's was a bright blue one sleeved dress, Lily wore a tight black tube top dress that accentuated her hips and contrasted nicely with her red hair, Emma wore a red low cut dress that barely covered her butt.

"You are going to drive Remus crazy," Casselle said as she fixed her hair to cascade down her back in curls.

Emma smiled, as she fixed her make up, "Alright are we ready to go?" She asked.

"Yep let's go!" Lily said jumping up from her bed.

The three girls walked down, to find the party almost in full swing. Sirius was relaxing in a chair keeping his eyes on the girl's stairs, his eyes about popped out of his head as he saw Casselle walk down in her three inch heels. Casselle winked at him. There was a commotion at the bar; apparently James had spilled a drink on someone.

"I'm sorry! I'll get you another one!" He barked, glancing over at Lily who smiled at him, he nearly dropped the bottle he had in his hand.

Casselle snuck off to where Sirius was lounging, "So how's your party?" She asked sitting on the arm of his chair, knowing full well that her skirt rose about three inches up her thighs as she did. Sirius couldn't take his eyes off the bare skin that was flashing in front of his face.

"Much better now," He said with a smirk.

She smiled, "Good."

Remus joined them shortly handing out drinks along with Emma. After James got bored of serving people he asked Lily to dance, and to everyone's surprise she agreed. Maybe Casselle had missed something with all the time she dedicated to her rekindled romance. She made a mental note to ask Lily about it later.

Emma took the lead and asked Remus if he wouldn't mind dancing with her, he agreed and they walked off to the dance floor.

"How long do you think it will take for them to notice us missing?" Casselle whispered seductively in his ear.

Sirius smirked, "Probably until morning," He said standing up and leading the way to the boy's dormitory.

As he closed the door behind her, he slammed her up against it, locking his lips over hers. And pulling her dress up to her waist, and then over her head.

As he looked down at her, he noticed she was of course wearing his favorite red underwear, "Oh this is the best birthday ever," He said kissing up her neck.

Casselle unbuttoned his shirt pushing it off of him, and moving him toward the bed. Sirius laid her down underneath him, running his hands down the length of her body, trailing kisses down her chest. She moaned as he neared her breasts, tangling her hands in his hair.

Sirius trailed back up to her lips, asking for entrance, and she gave it to him instantly. She rolled him over, straddling him kissing down his chest, her hand moving slowly down to his belt, undoing it and unbuttoning his pants.

He pulled her down for another kiss, as the door to the dormitory opened suddenly, Casselle and Sirius were too enwrapped in each other to notice the head boy and girl staring at them with shell shocked expressions.

"What. The. Hell. Is Going ON!" James yelled slamming the door.

Casselle jumped five feet in the air, before frantically covering herself with Sirius's blanket.

"James, Lily," Casselle choked out trying to catch her breath. "What're you doing up here?"

"We should ask you the same question," James said folding his arms over his chest, and glaring at the two.

"Well James, it's my birthday," Sirius said smirking, as James glared daggers at him.

"Cass what's going on?" Lily asked confused.

"Well…." Casselle said not sure how to explain it.

"Wait a minute, what are you two doing?" Sirius asked sitting up and raising his eyebrows at them.

Lily blushed and looked down at her feet, and James just stammered before grinning widely.

"Prongs, you dog!" Sirius said.

"Shut up, Padfoot!" James said. "Since when are you two together? I thought I would have been the first to know, seeing as it's all you've been talking about all year."

Before Sirius could answer the door swung open again, to reveal Emma and Remus. "Oh I'm sorry," Remus said noticing James standing there. "We were just…" He stopped as he looked around and noticed Lily blushing deeply, Sirius sitting on the bed shirtless, and Casselle hiding under his blanket. "What's going on here?" He asked confused.

"Oh. My. God." Emma said. "Casselle when were you going to tell us? And Lily!" She cried. "Seems like this was a good night for everyone."

Casselle groaned, as Sirius smirked and put his arm around her, "I guess we don't have to hide anymore love," He said.

"Speak for yourself," She grumbled. "Lily can you hand me my dress?" She asked blushing deeply. Sirius laughed while James blushed and looked away, and Remus led Emma back down to the party.

"Well seeing as it is your birthday, I guess we have to let you have the room," James grumbled as Lily tossed Casselle's dress to her.

"That would be great mate, thanks," Sirius said with a cocky grin.

As the door closed Sirius turned back to Casselle, "Now where were we."

Casselle laughed before pulling him back towards her into a passionate kiss.

The sun shone, causing Casselle to stretch happily, as she moved she felt Sirius wrap his arm around her tighter. She smiled cuddling into his side and enjoying the feel of being with him freely.

She closed her eyes again relishing in the joy that was overwhelming her. As she drifted back to sleep, there was a banging on the door that caused Casselle to jump awake. She pulled the sheets with her as she stared anxiously at the door.

Sirius moaned, "Just lay back down they'll go away eventually," he said pulling her down.

She laughed, "Sirius it's their room. They have a right to be in here, I should head back anyway." She said kissing him on the cheek.

"No," He said pulling her back to the bed, "I finally have you all to myself and I'm never letting you go."

"SIRIUS!" James yelled from outside the door.

Casselle smiled as she kissed him on the lips, moving to get up. "I don't want James to hate me. I'll see you at breakfast."

She pulled the sheet with her, "Do you have anything I can borrow?" She asked blushing embarrassedly as she looked down at her wrinkled dress and the sheet around her.

Sirius smiled at her appreciating her slender body wrapped in his sheet, "I don't think I do."

Casselle narrowed her eyes at him before rummaging through his trunk for a pair of boxers and a t-shirt, throwing them on.

"Mmm, I'm liking this look," Sirius said appraising her dressed in his clothes. "You make those boxers look so much better than I do."

Casselle rolled her eyes, but smiled none the less. "See you later," She said opening the door.

But when she did James was in the process of throwing his arm into the door and fell onto Casselle pushing her to the ground.

"James, I would appreciate you getting off my girlfriend." Sirius said looking down from his bed.

Casselle laughed, while James blushed immensely moving to get off of her. "Well if you two could keep your hands off each other for a night this wouldn't have happened." He grumbled going into the bathroom.

"See you in a bit!" She said closing the door behind her and hurrying off to her dormitory thankful that no one was in the common room to see her walk of shame.

As she entered the dormitory she was ambushed by Lily and Emma immediately.

"YOU missy have some explaining to do!" Lily said pointing her finger at her friend.

Casselle smiled trying to contain her happiness but failed. "Oh you two, I don't even know where to begin!" She sat down on her bed.

"Are you wearing his clothes?" Emma asked staring at her pointedly.

Casselle blushed, "Well I wasn't very well walking out of their in my dress from last night!"

They all laughed, but Lily turned sternly to Casselle shortly after. "Now explain. When did this even start? You showed no inclination towards him recently."

"Well it actually started over break. We had the best Christmas together, and we both realized our mistakes and knew we were both being foolish by denying our feelings for each other. But when the holiday was ending, I got nervous about the gossip that would spread about us, so I asked him not to tell anyone. So we have been secretly seeing each other for the past month and a half now." Casselle explained.

"You have been with Black this whole time? And you never told us! How could you!" Emma yelled.

Casselle felt ashamed, "I'm sorry, I just didn't want it getting around. I know it was wrong of me, and I should have told you but I just couldn't bring myself to do it."

"Well this better not happen again." Lily said sternly. "To think my best friend has been dating someone for a month and I couldn't even tell. Though we assumed something was going on, you two were rather cheery after break."

"Yes, I thought we were going to be exposed that night, when James questioned us." Casselle laughed wondering how James was taking the news. "But anyway enough about my night, what about yours?" She asked looking at her friends with a knowing smile.

Lily blushed deeply, while Emma just grinned. They chatted about how Emma finally got Remus to loosen up, and have some fun with her, and Lily smiled as she confessed to snogging James after they had left the boy's dorm. After they delighted over their individual successes and laughed about the night, they dressed and hurried downstairs where the boys were waiting for them.

James was still staring daggers at Sirius and about dropped his mouth to the floor when Casselle went straight into Sirius's arms and kissed him fully. "Happy Birthday," She said pulling away from him.

"Oh it will be," He said a glint of mischief in his eyes.

"Well I see you two aren't wasting any time." James scoffed.

"Oh hush James don't you have your own love interest to kiss," Casselle teased receiving a glare from a blushing Lily.

James blanched before turning to Lily nervously. "Hi," He said running a hand through his hair. Sirius just rolled his eyes and nudged James forward causing him to fall into the arms of Lily.

"Hello," She said blushing slightly and biting her lip.

"Alright enough of this awkward love! I'm starving," Sirius said heading to the portrait hole with Casselle pasted to his side. "By the way," He whispered into her ear, "I hope you know that I am not planning on letting you leave my side for a long time to come."

Casselle smiled up at him, "That sounds acceptable."

As they all entered the great hall Casselle under Sirius's arm, Lily standing closely to James and Emma and Remus walking hand in hand, the entire room fell quiet staring at them before turning to each other to gossip. Sirius tightened his hold on Casselle and turned her toward the Gryffindor table, and Casselle held her head up high determined to not let the whispers get to her.

"Must be a love potion. There's no way she could get him back after last year."

"She was such a bitch to him, why would he take her back."

"I'm sure he's just with her for the easy sex."

Sirius's grip turned almost painful as he tried to keep his anger in check. She looked up at him sadly, "Sirius it's okay, we knew this was coming. All that matters is that we are together and they can't do anything about it."

He smiled down at her, "You're right. It's just those slimes shouldn't be saying those things about you, they should learn their place." He said toying with his wand.

Casselle rolled her eyes, "What happened to spending every moment with each other? We can't very well do that if you are in detention for hexing people."

"Ah but I would have to be caught, to get a detention." He said a cocky grin spreading across his face.

"Well maybe one," She said a glint in her eye. He pulled out his wand quickly and flicked it at one of the boys talking about Casselle being easy and they watched as his pumpkin juice exploded in his face. He spun around looking for the perpetrator but Sirius had already placed his wand in his robes again.

Casselle smiled, "My knight in shining armor," She said sitting down next to Sirius as the rest of their friends sat down around them.

"So Cass what are you wearing to the dance tonight?" Lily asked as they settled into their breakfast.

"I don't know. I haven't been asked so I don't think I'm going," Casselle said pointedly not staring at Sirius as he sputtered at her.

"What do you mean no one asked you? You're my girlfriend!"

"Just because I'm your girlfriend, doesn't mean I'm automatically going with you," She said raising her eyebrows at him.

"But-" He started and stopped short. "Casselle Marie Dawson, will you go to the dance with me?" He asked sincerely.

"No." She said shortly.

"What?" Sirius demanded loudly.

"I said no. You can't just ask me just because I told you I'm not your lapdog, you can't expect me to be there at your beck and call."

Sirius glared at her for a minute before turning to his food muttering under his breath.

Later that day they were all sitting in the common room playing a game of exploding snaps. As the game came to an end with the cards exploding in Peter's face, Sirius stood up and Casselle glanced up at him confusingly.

Sirius stood up on a chair and cleared his throat, "Casselle will you come here," He said holding out his hand as the room quieted and turned in his direction. Casselle immediately blushed and walked over to him hesitantly.

He helped her up into the chair he moved from before kneeling down before her. Her eyes about popped out of her head in surprise. "Casselle Marie Dawson, will you please do me the honor of attending tonight's Valentine's day dance with me?"

Casselle smiled and nodded slowly, before Sirius picked her up in her arms and spun her around as the room burst out into applause. She laughed as she kissed him, "I thought you'd never ask." He set her down and they settled back into the couch Casselle snuggling up into his lap. "Oh wait I almost forgot!" She said jumping up and hurrying to her dormitory. She came back to Sirius waiting for her by the stairs and she held out a wrapped present. "Happy Birthday."

He took the small box carefully and pulled off the wrapping paper to open the box revealing a dark blue dog collar with a heart shaped license reading Snuffles.

"Snuffles?" he asked incredulously. "What is this?"

"Well I can't have my boyfriend being trapped in a dog pound on his full moon escapades because he didn't have a license. I think Snuffles suits you quite well," She said with a smirk ruffling his hair.

He glared at her playfully, "You will pay for this." He said sliding it into his pocket. Casselle just smiled as he leaned down kissing her gently. "Thank you for the thought. I'm glad you're looking out for me."

"Always," She said wrapping her arms around him.

The girls spent the rest of the day getting ready for the dance, leaving the boys to spend their afternoon as they will. Lily and Emma had both bought new dresses a few weeks ago at Hogsmeade. Casselle was rummaging through her trunk looking for something acceptable to wear.

"You guys I have nothing! What am I going to do?" She cried flinging herself on her bed in defeat.

"Oh relax Cass, I have enough dresses to clothe an entire village." Emma replied searching through her trunk before pulling out a long silver dress that shimmered in the light.

"Em, that's gorgeous!" Casselle exclaimed sitting up and pulling it towards her. "Why haven't you worn it before?"

Emma shrugged, "My mum bought it for me but it's not the right color on me, and I didn't have the heart to take it back. The color washes me completely out, but it'll look perfect on you. Try it on!"

Casselle smiled before hurrying off to the bathroom to slide the dress on. It clung to her body perfectly and laid on the floor in a small train. It was held up by thin spaghetti straps and scooped low down her back. She walked out of the bathroom to the two girls gaping at her.

"What?" She asked self consciously.

"Cass you look amazing! That dress was made for you!" Emma exclaimed hurrying over to her friend with Lily close behind.

They each helped each other with their hair and make up, until it was finally eight o'clock, and they went down to meet their dates who were waiting for them in the common room.

Casselle's eyes were immediately drawn to Sirius, in his elegant black dress robes, who stood up from his seat as she entered. All he could do was stare at her, as she walked up to him.

"Well don't you look handsome," She said pulling at his collar. He continued to stare at her silently causing Casselle's smile to falter and she stepped back anxiously. Before she could walk far, Sirius seemed to snap out of it and pulled her close kissing her passionately.

"You look so beautiful," He whispered breathlessly leaning his forehead against hers.

She smiled, "Shall we go?"

"We shall," He said taking her arm and leading her towards the rest of their friends who were gathered at the portrait hole.

They sat around a table before Sirius asked Casselle to dance. They spun around the dance floor each smiling at the other. Sirius dipped Casselle every so often causing her to laugh in delight which only made him do it more, only so he could see her face light up and hear the lovely sound of her laugh.

They looked over to see Lily and James dancing rather closely and they couldn't find Emma or Remus anywhere. They relished in each other's company just swaying softly to the music, until someone rammed in to Casselle causing her to cry out in surprise. They looked up to see Sophie glaring over at them before turning back to her date.

Sirius tightened his grip on her pulling her closer. She felt his tension immediately and thought it best they get a bit of fresh air. "Sirius why don't we go for a walk?" She asked pleadingly.

Sirius continued to glare in the direction of Sophie before nodding and leading her out into the courtyard. "Are you alright?" He asked sincerely.

Casselle nodded, "I'm fine, it's going to take a lot more than a jealous ex to put me in a bad mood."

Sirius ran a distracted hand through his hair, "Argh, I should never have gone out with that girl. She was wretched, I couldn't stand her." He said sitting down on a bench.

"Well now you don't have to think about her," Casselle said not wanting to talk about that incident at all.

"You're right, you're the only girl I want to think about right now." He said pulling her down on to his lap and planting his lips onto hers.

Almost immediately did the kiss increase in passion as Sirius's tongue traced her lips longingly. Casselle wrapped her arms around his neck content with sitting there for the rest of the night.

Finally after a few hours they headed back inside to find the dance almost over, so they walked back to the common room holding hands feeling the happiest they both have felt in a long time.

Hope you enjoyed all the love! Especially the dorm scene its one of our favorites!
