Hey everyone, I know this chapter isn't my best but I wanted to post it quickly so you could read it. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
The Down Fall of Sirius Black
As Emma Mason made her way to the great hall, she nearly collided with Sirius Black who was hitting on a 6th year.
'Grow up Black' Emma spat when Sirius looked her way.
'You can be afters, Miss Mason' Sirius replied seductively adding a suggestive wink. As he said this the 6th year twisted round and slapped him in the face before turning and running away in tears.
'To be honest, Black I'd rather drown myself than be in the company of you for more than five minutes.' Emma smiled as Sirius's smirk vanished.
All the girls who attended Hogwarts knew how much Emma hated Sirius, but all of the boys thought she was just playing hard to get, little did the boys know, Emma couldn't stand being in the same room as him, let alone go out with him.
After this little scene, Emma was more determined to help with the down fall of Sirius Black.
Lily, Penelope, Emma, Kate and Laura had met once again in the Room of Requirement, to discuss more plans for Sirius's down fall. They had come up with the idea of using Emma to hurt Black. Penelope and Lily, who were the gang leaders had considered Emma flirting with Remus while around him.
Unfortunately Emma had decided against it, as Remus was a precious friend to her, she didn't want to be flirting with one of her best friends, but the girls had voted against her, she had to follow it through now.
Much to Emma's disapproval Lily and Penelope had woke her up at the early hours of the morning to go over the plans. Emma had become very irritable and agitated for them waking her up so early, so she was snapping at them for the slightest things.
Penelope had offered to do her hair but had soon regretted this as Emma hadn't liked any of the styles Penelope had picked. After hours of screaming and discomfort for Emma, Penelope had finally tamed Emma's hair into a perfect style, to show she liked it Emma gave a sharp nod of her head.
'Great' said Lily approvingly.
'This is the day we all come together and bring down Black!' said Penelope happily. She had shouted this so loudly Kate and Laura had woke up.
'Remind me again, why Lily can't do this instead of me?' said Emma with a frown appearing on her face,
'James would kill Black.' Said Penelope simply.
'Isn't that what we are hoping for? Killing Black I mean?' said Emma becoming more annoyed by the minute.
'No we are doing this to EMBARRASS him' said Kate slowly as if Emma was completely brainless.
Emma nodded, this was going to be the worst day of her life – she hated Black and he knew it, why would he fall for her when he knew she loathed him? Emma didn't know the answer to this, but apparently the other girls did.
'Now strut down these stairs and wiggle your hips, Black loves girls with confidence' instructed Penelope quietly as they stood at the top of the girls staircase.
'Why do I care what Black loves, I really can't be bothered to do this, Penelope' argued Emma while thinking – 'why does this always happen to me?'
A few weeks had passed, when Emma has strutted down the stairs the heads of every boy in the common room turned.
Whispers of 'gorgeous' and 'fit' echoed around the common room as Emma walked up towards Sirius and Remus.
As soon as Sirius saw Emma his jaw dropped, sure he knew Emma was pretty but he didn't even think she could look as good as she did now.
'Come to ask me to meet you in the broom closet later?' Sirius said as his lips curled into a smirk.
Remus chuckled to himself – his friend could be a right idiot, he thought every girl wanted him, subtle wasn't a word in Sirius's dictionary.
'Actually I came to ask Remus if he wanted to eat breakfast with me.' Emma replied.
Remus went tomato red, he had always adored Emma but he didn't think he was good enough for her, he was a werewolf and she was beautiful, what would she see in him?
'Looks like you've got an admirer mate' said Sirius grinning.
Remus said 'sure' in a second. Although Sirius looked happy on the outside, he was actually quite upset, he was speechless his best friend has blown him off for a girl in fact a girl he had been trying to get with for a few years.
When Penelope and Lily sat down at the Gryffindor table, they noticed something; the reason Emma had been so against making Black jealous.
'She fancies him' said Penelope cheerfully. She had always liked having Remus around – he was a good friend, she was shocked in her fourth year to find that he was best friends with Sirius womaniser Black and James big headed Potter.
Sirius entered the hall to see Emma and Remus laughing together. He didn't want anybody to notice, but both Lily and Penelope saw his shoulders droop and his smile falter.
'Strike one' muttered Penelope under her breath.
With the first Quidditch match drawing near, excitement was in the air as everyone chattered about the upcoming match - Gryffindor against Slytherin. These games were always great, other games were good to watch but Gryffindor and Slytherin always made a show.
Emma and Lily were walking up to the pitch when Sirius rushed up behind them. Lily had seen him and had quickly said 'play hard to get'. When Sirius caught them up Lily spotted Penelope and strolled off towards her.
'So, Mason fancy going to Hogsmeade with me?' Sirius said. Emma couldn't help but notice that Sirius oozed confidence and was full of charm.
'Yeah sure, how about the twelfth of never.' Emma shot back.
'Hey no need for insults, I know you like me.' Came Sirius' reply.
'Yeah, like Lily likes James, like Slytherin like Gryffindor. You need your head checked, Black.' Emma replied.
'Nah, you can't hide it, you want me.' Sirius said like he was the best thing on the planet.
'Black do me a favour and go away.' Emma stated when Remus jogged over.
Emma stayed cool, she knew what to do – Lily had told her last night. Ask Remus out right in front of Sirius.
'Hey Remus, I was hoping to see you, do you want to go to Hogsmeade together?' Emma said as she looked towards Sirius, his face was priceless, he was gob smacked.
For the second time in a week, Remus had turned red, he didn't want to hurt Emma but mostly he didn't want to hurt himself, he knew as soon as she found out about his problem she would leave him straight away, but Remus couldn't resist it, Emma was the first girl who had asked him out in years he couldn't take the risk of Emma going out with someone else.
Shyly Remus agreed, he then said he had to go as he wanted to tell James the good news.
'Mason, you already have a date with me.' Sirius said as he acted hurt.
'Black, in case you hadn't noticed I didn't agree to go with you.' Emma stated nervously, she could tell Black knew she was going to cave in soon, she had to think fast. Without saying another word she ran up to Lily and Penelope and left Sirius looking startled.
'What happened?' Penelope said eagerly.
'Black asked me out and then I asked Remus.'
'Good, that means Black is into you!' smiled Penelope.
Emma walked with the girls to the pitch with a dreamy look on her face, she was looking forward to going out with Remus, but Black kept pushing his way into her thoughts. Wait! She wasn't falling for him was she?
'Hey, I know that look, either your love-struck with Remus, or your falling for Black.' Penelope said impatiently.
Luckily Emma was quick at making up stories; she stated that she was excited about her date with Remus, but inside she knew she was really looking forward to accepting a date with Black, she knew the time would come soon. She felt awful for doing this to Remus, but she liked him much more than Sirius, but she was eager to see what Black was like on a date.
Hope you enjoyed! Please review :)
