Everyone! I am so sorry I haven't updated for ages. I've had lots of work to do for school and I have exams coming up. I will try and update as much as I can throughout the holidays. So enjoy the new chapter!
Chapter 4
'I hope it goes well' Emma said quietly to herself as she brushed her hair into a ponytail.
'It will be fine, Em.' Said Penelope patiently as she picked out some high red shoes for Emma.
Finally the day had come, the big date. Every girl went through the same effects before they went on a date with Sirius Black. However Emma wasn't going on a date with him, she was double dating with him, but still the effects had been passed to Emma. She was going with Remus and Sirius was going with another of his bimbos.
Emma was nervous as she had to try and flirt with Sirius while dating Remus without Remus knowing she was flirting with him. Emma scratched her head wondering why this had to be so complicated.
She was so confused, she had liked Remus for years but as soon as she was going out with him, she had to start liking someone else. Typical. She had hated Black for years but couldn't help looking forward to seeing him.
As soon as the clock read 11 O'clock, Emma thought she was finally ready, as soon as she made her way down the stairs her palms became sweaty and her heart beat faster. Emma thought she was nervous about seeing Remus but she knew in her heart that she couldn't wait to see Sirius.
Throughout the weeks Emma hadn't been able to sleep well due to the fact of the on going arguments in her head about Sirius and Remus. She had come to the decision that she really did like Black, but she didn't want to hurt Remus's feelings. In the long run she knew that she would hurt his feelings any way because of the plan to bring down Black.
As she looked through the crowd of boys waiting for their girlfriends, she spotted Remus and Sirius talking, Remus looked really charming she could tell he had made a special effort because he was going to Hogsmeade with her. Sirius had gone for his usual bad boy image, with a leather jacket and black jeans.
As she made her way towards Remus she heard a snippet of their conversation that was broken when she had come close to them.
'Do you fancy her Moony?' Sirius had asked Remus.
'Yeah I do a lot why?' Remus had replied with a concerned look on his face.
'Because if you didn't I was going to-'Sirius had cut off as soon as he had seen Emma.
Emma's stomach was doing flip flops, Black was about to say he wanted to ask her out. It was a bit stupid telling the boy that she was dating though. But Sirius Black had always been a bit of an idiot and that is how he had always had either a black eye or a bloody nose from some furious boyfriend of the girls he had stolen.
'Why Miss Mason don't you look nice?' Sirius said while waggling his eyebrows.
'Close your mouth, Black; you're starting to look really disturbing.'
'Do you always take compliments so well, Mason?'
Remus couldn't help but see an attraction between Emma and Sirius. It was always the same thing with Sirius, he couldn't help but want other people's girls. The same thing happened everytime, someone would get a girlfriend but then Sirius would come in and suddenly the girl would be his. It didn't matter if the girl had blonde hair or red nor if the girl was tall or short they all seemed to want Sirius Black.
Emma turned and smiled up at Remus and he couldn't help but fall for her all over again.
He loved her short red hair and her cheeky smile, ever since he had been friends with Emma he had always had a crush on her, maybe not and obsession like James over Lily but it was still a crush.
As Emma held her hand out for Remus to take, Sirius came over with his air head whose I.Q seemed to resemble her shoe size.
Emma couldn't help but be annoyed by the time they had arrived at the three broomsticks, every time Sirius said something Tracy would burst into high pitched giggles. How could she put up with this for another 3 hours?
Soon after they had entered the three broomsticks they heard the clicking of Rosmerta's glittery heels.
'Ah well who would have thought you'd be here, I'd thought I'd got rid of you when I left Hogwarts.' Rosmerta said with a smiling forming on her pretty face.
'My dear Rosmerta, how did you think I could live without you?' Sirius replied with a wink. He then pulled on Rosmerta's arm and kissed her beautifully manicured hand.
Emma could tell Tracy didn't like this as her hand suddenly reached her hips and she frowned.
Seeing Tracy's face, Sirius knew just what to do.
'Ah Rosmerta I am no longer single, meet my beautiful girlfriend Tracy' Sirius stated as he snaked his arm over Tracy's shoulders. How could Tracy fall for this thought Remus and Emma as a smug smile grew on Tracy's face.
As Rosmerta gave them their butterbeers and Sirius his firewhisky (how he had charmed Rosmerta into letting him have one, they would ever know) Emma suddenly thought the thing Kate had told her to do on endless occasions, make Sirius Jealous.
'Remus you have butterbeer on your cheek!' Emma said with a broad smile as she wiped it off with her thumb, Remus' cheeks blushed red as he muttered 'thanks'.
Sirius didn't like what Emma was doing, so he leant across the table and grabbed Tracy's hand and moved closer to her. He then said 'babe, whose room is it tonight?' just loud enough so Emma and Remus could hear.
Emma snorted into her butterbeer while Remus coughed to hide a laugh. How could this girl be so stupid? He only wanted her for one thing and she couldn't see it. Emma actually felt sorry for her; he'd dump her after tonight.
'Emma would you like to go to the Halloween ball with me?' Remus said shyly with a smile.
'Yes, of course' Emma replied with grin as Remus put his arm around her gently.
'Sirius can we go together?' demanded Tracy.
'Ah, babe I don't know, I have a lot of homework to do what with us being in our 7th year, but possibly.'
Emma knew that he was really wondering which one of his sixteen girlfriends he would go with. As Tracy pouted Sirius moved in for a kiss. That was the moment when Emma thought she was going to throw up, inside she knew she was wishing it was her about to kiss Sirius.
As their arms started to entangle and their faces became stuck together Remus suggested that they went somewhere else, Emma agreed quickly.
As they stepped out of the three broomsticks the ice had made Emma trip, Remus caught her in his arms and they both quickly blushed, Emma moved into a kiss with her eyes shut while Remus tightened his arms around her. Even though the kiss was very romantic and loving, Emma couldn't help but wish that the person on the other end of the kiss was Sirius.
Hey everyone, does anyone else feel sorry for Remus? I know this chapter was really fluffy but I thought it was needed. Updates will hopefully be coming in faster this week. Please review x x x
