A/N: Sorry for the lateness. At least it's not as late as Chapter 7… I think. Oh well. Well here is Chapter 8! And Bonnie will be meeting a new girl ;). I'm not saying what the relationship will be like; you'll have to read….
Read on my reader! And review! Please!
Well, Sirius was for sure on the party for James. It won't be a big party like I expected. I mean I was shocked when he told me it would be a small party consisting of The Marauders, Lily, Alice, Frank, and I. It was suppose to be held in the guy's room. Oh and Peter won't be there. I don't know why. Sirius said he had to go to the library to study or something like that.
I was now sitting with Lily and Alice in the Great Hall. Lily was going on about what she and James did, but I wasn't paying attention. No, my mind was on something else.
I couldn't believe I will be in Sirius's room. I was so nervous. I had no idea what will happen in there, not that I don't trust the guys or anything. But it is also Sirius and James that will be handling the party, Merlin knows what will happen with them in charge.
I was broken out of my trance by someone tapping on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Sirius behind me with his classical smirk spread across his handsome face.
"Yes?" I asked, looking at him with a playful look.
He didn't say anything right away. He bent down to whisper something in my ear. I could feel his hot breath on my cheek as he took a second to think about how he was going to say what he was going to say.
I was fully aware of his hands on my waist as his lips grazed my ear, making me stiffen.
"I want you to wear that new dress." He whispered in my ear, before running his lips softly across my ear again. I gulped but looked ahead of me without really focusing on anything.
The next thing I knew, he was walking away as if he never just did that. I looked at him in shock. Wondering why he wants me to wear the dress.
I shook it off and turned back to my friends. Lily was staring at me with her eyebrows raised and Alice was giving me a knowing smile.
"What?" I asked, accusingly.
"Nothing" They each said, raising their hands up to their heads.
"Come on. Tell me." I said. I was really annoyed.
"What was that? What Sirius whispered to you?" Lily asked, twirling a fork in the air, looking at me pointedly.
"Nothing." I lied, blushing a little.
"Come off it!" Alice squealed.
I looked up and saw their eager faces.
I sighed.
"He told me to wear the dress I got from Vincent this morning." I said.
"What dress would that be?" Lily asked, moving her eyebrows up and down.
"You'll see it when we get ready." I laughed.
"Well, let us get ready now!" Alice squealed, practically falling off the bench, trying to get out.
Lily and I busted up laughing before getting up, at a much slower pace, and all of us walking to the dorm.
PAGE! BREAK!
"Come on, Bonnie!" Alice whined.
"No!" I told them, hiding under my covers.
"We have to get you ready for Sirius!" Lily prodded.
"What about you guys? Alice has Frank to get ready for, and you have James to get ready for!" I shrieked, clutching onto my blankets with all my might. Lily was stronger then she looks.
"We are ready. And plus, we already got them, we don't have to 'get ready' for them. You still have to get Sirius!" Alice said, coming to help Lily.
With Alice's help they got the covers off of me easily.
I growled at them.
"Don't use that tone of voice with me!" Lily said, pointing her finger at me, as if I was a dog.
I rolled my eyes but finally gave in. They took me by the hands and dragged me into the bathroom. I groaned as they sat me in a seat.
"Wait!" Lily said, looking at Alice and me with wide eyes.
We gave her confused looks.
"Bonnie, you need to put on the dress so we can determine what you need to look like." Lily explained. I groaned but went out and put on the dress; I smoothed the bottom and went back in.
"That dress is gorgeous on you!" Alice squealed.
"It's not that good." I said. I have always hated getting complements. Well, not hate them. They did make me feel good. But I always get awkward when someone complements me. Because I never know what to say.
"Yes it is." Lily said. She had that tone where it said, 'I challenge you to say anything that disagrees with my statement'.
So I just sat down in the chair and didn't say a word. I didn't even pay attention. My mind was somewhere else. And you could guess where, Sirius Black.
I was as nervous as hell. I did not want to go there. What if he doesn't like me? What if he laughs in my face? Is the dress just a part of some prank that will happen there?
Lily apparently saw my nervousness.
"Don't worry. As soon as he sees you, he won't be able to keep his hands off of you. We are going to give you- well actually all of us- a causal but sexy look." Lily explained, giving me a kind look.
"Whatever you say, Lil's." I sighed.
After a bit, they were done.
"Wa-la!" Lily said in a French accent kissing her fingers.
I looked in the mirror and gasped. I looked great. Instead of my usual flat ironed looking hair, it had this feather soft look to it. Also, instead of my usual make-up clad face, it looked like I had none on. They got the perfect eye-shadow for my skin tone, perfect blush, and some clear lip gloss. My nails were painted a perfect shad of blue.
"Wow. When you said you were going to give me a causal but sexy look, you weren't kidding!" I said, totally mesmerized.
"Never doubt me." Lily said. I couldn't see her yet, but I knew she was smiling. I got up and hugged them both.
"Thank you." I smiled. But the smiled didn't quite reached my eyes.
"Don't worry. He likes you. It's obvious to everyone." Lily said reassuringly. I looked at Alice.
"He does. It's a wonder why he didn't pull you into one of the closets yet while you guys were walking to classes." Alice said with a wondering smile.
I blushed a bit. I took a minute to see what they chose to go in.
Alice just had her hair flattened down, instead of her usual volume. She had the natural make-up look too. But instead of a dress, she had on a pair of red pajama bottoms that said in yellow 'Gryffindor!' and they also had miniature lions on them. She finally had on a fitted black tee-shirt.
Lily had her hair pulled back in a sloppy, loose ponytail with some hairs already starting to fall out. She had on a pair of camouflage pajama shorts and a dark green tank top. Her make-up was a natural look too.
"Are you ready?" Lily asked.
"No." I muttered, as Alice squealed with joy and jumped up and down.
"It's okay. Sirius will be glad to see you." Lily said, winking at me.
I rolled my eyes, but smiled a bit at the thought of Sirius being excited to see me.
"We're off!" Alice said, pointing her finger at the door and marching out. That calmed me a bit. Lily laughed, and I could tell she was nervous too.
I grabbed her arm and held her back. She turned and gave me a curious look.
"I know you're nervous too. And thanks." I said, giving her one of my most sincere smiles.
"I'm not nervous. And thanks for what?" She asked.
"Yes you are. I've known you since first year. And thanks for hiding it. You really should be an actress." I explained.
"Okay. I'm nervous." She admitted it, "But. I'm not going to be an actress. I want some wizarding job" She explained.
I smiled at her.
"Let's go!" Alice said as she pranced into the room. I wonder how long it took her to realize we weren't following her.
I laughed and Lily and I followed her out.
We were soon in front of the door. Alice knocked eagerly. Lily and I stood in the back. Lily was thumping her foot, which means she was really nervous. And I was wiggling my fingers as if they each were having miniature seizures.
The door opened and James beamed, mostly at Lily though.
"Come on in ladies." James said in a polite manner and gestured us in how a butler would.
I looked back at Lily and saw her giving James the same look he was giving her.
I smiled and walked in, wanting to leave them two alone. I saw Alice run over to Frank, who was sitting by his self. But I'm pretty sure he was talking with James before Alice knocked. I looked around and saw Sirius, Remus, and some girl was over by the window seat talking. She was sitting on the seat while Sirius was leaned up against the wall and Remus was standing next to him, slightly closer to the girl.
I have seen her around before actually. She's in Gryffindor. I don't know her name though.
She laughed and pushed her crimson locks out off of her shoulders. Her Hazel eyes lit up with laughter as Sirius cracked a joke. That little bitch. And she wasn't that bad looking too.
I narrowed my eyes at her, suddenly not wanting to be here. I started to turn around but I caught Sirius's eye. And I had to stay. It was too late to leave.
She watched Sirius excuse himself, never breaking contact with her, and watched him start to walk over. She gulped and notices her fingers were having seizures again.
"Hey." He smiled, looking her up and down. His smile turned in to a grin.
"You look…amazing in that dress." He whispered in my ear. I gave a small shudder, hoping he never noticed. If he did notice, he was hiding it.
I noticed he was in a simple black button up shirt and a pair of black jeans. And he was bare foot.
The red headed bitch came over, with Remus following behind her.
"Oh. You must be Bonnie." She smiled, holding out her hand.
I looked at her hand, looked at her and narrowed my eyes. She cleared her throat and combed her fingers threw her hair.
"Well. I'm Meggan." She said, before taking Remus's hand and walking them over to where the food and beverages were.
I looked at Sirius with a questioning look.
"What?" He asked.
"I thought that bitch was with you." The words escaped my mouth before I could stop them.
He laughed, "Bitch?"
I nodded, l bushing slightly.
"Don't worry, she's with Remus. Remus fancied for her for the longest time, and I recently found out she fancies him so we invited her." He explained. I nodded and started to walk away.
Sirius grabbed my hand and spun me into his body and whispered in my ear, "And plus, She wouldn't be with me even if she had a thing for me. Know why? Because I'm already yours."
And with that, he spun me away from him me but kept a hold of my hand and led me over to where Meggan and Remus were.
"I think there is a proper introduction in order." Sirius muttered, gesturing to Meggan and me.
I smiled at her and held out my hand, "I am Bonnie."
She looked confused but shook it off and took my hand.
"I'm Meggan." She smiled.
I gave Remus a look and he cleared his throat.
"Come on Sirius. Let's go and discuss with James what we are planning on doing." Remus said, taking Sirius's elbow.
"But we already planned-" He started but I gave him a look that made him shut up and walk with Remus over to James and Lily.
"Hey, sorry about earlier. I honestly thought you were with Sirius." I said, blushing. I was already confessing my secret to this girl and I barely knew her!
"It's fine. And I do not like Sirius in anyway like that, except for a friend maybe." She explained, and then looked at me with wide eyes, her mouth agape.
"You like Sirius, that's why you were giving me the look like you wanted to Crucio me." She said, finally getting everything.
"Why can't it be that obvious to him?" I sighed in exasperation.
She laughed, "Because it is Sirius."
"Which he is the player of Hogwarts, so he should be the master at seeing that girls like him." I said. As I looked down, my feet suddenly becoming very interesting.
"Not if he fell for you too." She said, her head tilted to try and catch my eye. I looked at her through my eyelashes and saw her smiling.
"What do you mean? He couldn't have falling for me. He's Sirius Black!" I exclaimed.
"Everyone can fall for someone. And since he might've falling for you, He can't see that you falling for him because he is too blinded by you. Same for you." She explained. She lifted her head, her eyes luring mine to follow.
"And plus, I think you will find out if he likes you or not tonight." She said after she grabbed a pastry.
"What do you mean?" I asked. God I feel clueless tonight, I thought.
She covered her mouth with the back of her hand before she started to talk.
"You see that circle of pillows?" She said, pointing. I followed her finger and sure enough there was a circle that consists of eight pillows.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Well, I think they have a little game planned out." She explained, swallowing her food.
"Huh." I said, not really knowing what to say.
"Oh, just a curious question; But why did you think I was here for Sirius?" She asked.
"Oh. Because when I walked in I saw you, Remus, and Sirius over by the window laughing and talking. And well I sort of assumed that you were here for Sirius. I never expected Remus, only because he is so shy. And you seem so outgoing." I explained.
She laughed, "That's why I like Remus, and he is the total opposite of me. And Sirius was only there to see if I was good enough for Remus. He wanted to make sure I could make him more fun."
"Sounds like Sirius." I laughed.
We both looked over at the guys who were talking and laughing. Sirius looked at over the rim of his cup and winked at me before he took a drink, his eyes never leaving mine. I finally looked away, blushing a bit.
Lily and Alice came over beaming.
"I see that you guys are on good terms now. By the way what was up with all the glaring?" Lily asked as she leaned against the table by me, taking a brownie and eating it.
Meggan gave me a look, asking if they knew. I nodded.
"She assumed I was here for Sirius. That got her angry and me. But she found out I was here for Remus actually." Meggan explained, smiling at them.
Lily and Alice looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"You barely know her and you tell her your secret?" Alice shrieked. And loud enough for the guys to hear too.
I looked over and saw Sirius looking at me with a cocked eyebrow and a smirk. Remus and James looked at me in wonder. The only one that really gave me a knowing look was Frank, and that's only because he knows the secret.
"Alice! Hush!" Lily said to her. Alice gave me a guilty smile and said sorry.
"It's fine; at least you didn't actually say the secret." I said, shrugging.
"It's fine Alice. I have that affect on people. They trust me a lot. And I pay them back by keeping their secrets locked away in my secret chest in my head." Meggan explained, poking her head when she mentioned the chest.
I smiled at her.
"Okay ladies! Come and sit on a pillow!" James's voice came from across the room.
The girls and I rolled our eyes and went and took a seat. I sat between Meggan and Lily. James sat beside Lily. Then Sirius by James, Frank by Sirius, and then Alice between Meggan and Frank.
"What are we going to do?" Alice asked, cocking her head to the side.
"My dear Lily here told me of a game." James said, smirking motioning with his hand to Lily.
"And what game is that?" Meggan asked, looking at them with raised eyebrows.
"I'm glad you asked. It's a game called seven minutes in heaven." James said, his smirk still plastered on his face. I gulped and gave Lily a look. She just shrugged.
"How do you play exactly?" Frank asked. Lily, Alice, and I all know how to play, considering we played it at Lily's house one summer when we met some guys there.
"Well you see you-" James began, but stopped. It occurred to me that he might actually don't really understand it, but heard being stuck in a closet with a person of the opposite sex and loved the idea of the game.
Lily saved his arse though and started to explain.
"The idea is either someone spins a bottle or you draw from a hat or something of that sort, then the person who's turn it was and the person that was chosen gets locked in a closet for seven minutes and they can't leave until the seven minutes are up."
"What she said." James said, pointing to Lily. Everyone laughed, or chuckled except me. I was nervous as hell. Only because I have a pretty good feeling Lily is the one in possession of the bottle or hat, and therefore, it will have some type of charm on it so Sirius and I will end up in the closet together.
I caught Lily's eye and gave her a knowing look. She gave me a mischievous smile before turning back to the group.
"Okay. We are going to use a bottle. I have one right here. I put a charm on it so it will pick the opposite sex of the person spinning it." Lily explained. At the last part she gave me another knowing smile. I gulped, already knowing what will happen. She sat it down in the middle of the circle and spun it to see who went first.
I watched it spin, hoping it would not land on me. It seemed like it spun forever finally it stopped on James. I sighed in relief; I did not want to go first.
James beamed with joy and spun the bottle, it landing on Lily. His smile grew even more, which I did not know was possible, and grabbed her hand running to the closet. He shut the door and that was all.
Seven minutes goes by slower then what I expected. I had got up and went out to get a drink. Meggan came in and got one too.
"I am wishing you luck." She said, looking at me out of the corner of her eye while drinking from her cup.
"Why?" I asked.
"Did you see Lily's face? She has something planned and I know it, which is pretty sad because I just met her…" She trailed off, not exactly knowing what to say next.
"What does she have planned?" I asked, turning to her with raised eyebrows.
"I don't know what the exact plan is, but I think it deals with getting you and Sirius into the closet." She said, smirking at me. I started to blush even more.
"Are you blushing?" She asked, raising her eyebrows even more. I started blushing even more. She just laughed.
Just then Lily and James came out of the closet. James's hair was even more screwed up then usual. And Lily's face was bright red. There was no doubt that they were snogging furiously in there.
We all got back in the circle and everyone spun. James got Alice, but they didn't do anything; Alice got Frank, of course they did stuff; Frank got Remus, I laughed so hard when he did; Remus got Meggan, I was not shocked when they came out and Meggan had a pleased look on her face; Meggan got Sirius, I was sort of pissed when they went into the closet, but the anger went away when they came out exactly how they went in; Sirius got Lily, I was not mad at this at all, Lily was the one I most trusted; Lily spun and got me.
We walked in and the door shut and sealed itself.
"You and to put a lock charm on it?" I asked.
"Yep. You cannot leave for seven minutes. And I also put on a silence charm too." Lily said. I could hear the smile in her voice.
I sighed and slid down the wall, sitting on the floor. Lily managed to find her way over to me. Even though I wasn't that far away, the closet was small. It was big enough to fit two people with about three inches of space between them.
"My spin will be Sirius right?" I asked.
"Maybe…" She answered in a sing song voice.
I sighed again.
"Don't you dare sigh! It will work. He likes you!" Lily cried out.
"Yeah, as a friend!" I hit my head against the wall.
"Are you okay? Well anyway, we will find out in about 30 seconds." Lily said, and as if on cue, I heard the door click and it opened a bit, letting in some light. We got up and went out back into the circle.
I sat down and went to spin the bottle. My heart was thumping in my chest erratically. I was freaking out.
I spun it and kept my eyes on Sirius the whole time it spun. He was to busy watching it. When it landed on him I swore my heart jumped out of my chest. His eyes locked on mine and I saw something flash through them.
He got up and offered me his hand, helping me up.
Every step toward the door was an entirety. And I did not help that he had a hold of my hand still.
Finally we got in and the door shut and I heard the lock click. I was in here for the next seven minutes with my guy friend that I like and I can't do anything because it might wreck our friendship! Oh my god my life is so horrible at this moment.
I was to busy freaking out to realize Sirius brought me close enough to him to where he could put his arms around my waist.
I looked up and barely saw his face since it was so dark. I could feel his breath on my neck and could feel his hands bunching up my dress in the back. He slowly brought his mouth down to mine, closing the gap between us.
Our lips moved in perfect sync. His lips were surprisingly super soft and tasted of fire whiskey and licorice wands.
A thousand things were running through my head. The main one is the fact that I am actually kissing Sirius Black.
His tongue traveled my mouth looking for an entrance. I gladly allowed it in and our tongues danced around like they were waiting for each other.
My arms snaked around his neck and I pressed my body against his. He groaned in my mouth and tightened his arms around me, making us get even closer to where there was absolutely no room between us.
He pulled away from the lack of air. But he did not move away from me, instead he rested his forehead against mine, our heavy breathing mixing together.
"Bonnie." He said between breaths.
"Sirius. You know we can not do this. It might ruin our friendship. And you're the first person I felt close enough to since I met Lily." I explained, getting right to the point.
"I'd say you are even closer to me then Lily." He stated, smirking. I laughed.
"You know what I mean."
"I do. But why can't this work? Why can't we still be friends afterwards?" He asked.
"Because I really like you, I mean, really like you. And if you were to hurt me, it will ruin me and nothing would be the same between us after that."
He sighed, "I won't hurt you. I can honestly say, no matter how bad it sounds, that you I care enough about that if I hurt you it would hurt me."
"I know you care about me, Sirius. But everyone knows how you are. Once you are done with something, you throw it away." I explained.
"I won't do that to you."
"Sorry Sirius." I said before I heard the door click and saw it open. I walked out grabbed Lily and Alice and took off without a word.
By the time we got to our door I had broke out in tears.
"Bonnie! What happened?" Lily asked, shocked by my sudden outburst.
I looked up straight in Lily's eyes, even though it was hard to see them through the tears and said, "Sirius asked me to be his girlfriend and I said no."
Once again, sorry for the lateness! I feel so so so so awful. You can shun me in the results… But I hope it was worth the wait. Tell me what you think?
