Auden tried to ignore the fact that Sirius knew about her late night baking adventures, but it kept intercepting her thoughts throughout the day. She didn't know why it bothered her so much; it wasn't like she was doing anything wrong, she had permission from Dumbledore to use the kitchen on Saturday nights and after a while he had even used her baked goods to serve at lunch.

She supposed it was because it was like a safe place, where she could be alone far from any trouble, and now that Black knew what she did it didn't seem so sacred anymore. Possibly because Black was the definition of trouble.

"Are you alright, Aud? You seem kind of out of it." Lily asked looking concerned.

"I'm fine." Auden smiled as they entered the Great Hall for lunch, the food was already out and she couldn't help her wandering eyes gazing at all the platters of food; she was searching for them.

Then she spotted them; there they were, sitting on a silver platter. Her strawberry cream-filled vanilla cupcakes with fluffy pink icing. She was very proud of them, they had turned out wonderfully, much better then she thought they were going to.

"Let's sit here." She said to Lily as she spotted Fiona and Emily, two of their other very best friends.

"Hey you guys!" Waved Fiona beaming as Lily and Auden took their places at the table.

Emily was munching on one of Auden's cupcakes and gave her the thumbs-up, "Weally excewent Aud, weally."

"Please don't talk with your mouth full." Said Lily in disgust; Emily opened her mouth and leaned into Lily's face making noises that sounded like a mix of a mandrake and a slug.

"Stop!" Laughed Auden.

"Yes, please." Added Fiona.

Emily grinned and swallowed her mouth full. "You guys have no sense of humor."

Auden smirked, "You see, I don't think that's true, I just don't like half eaten cupcake shoved in my face… especially when it's inside your mouth!" she paused and then couldn't help asking, "Did you really liked them?"

"Of course, their scrumptious. Best cupcake I've ever had."

"Is this the only tray for the Gryffindoor table?" Asked Auden peering down each end of the long dining table, trying to spot more fluffy pink cupcakes.

"I think so, but I saw that the Slytherins had three trays. Greedy bastards." She said bitterly.

"Hey!" Snapped Lily, "Not all Slytherins are bastards."

"You're not aloud to say that anymore!" Said Auden, "Severus turned to be just as rotten as the rest of them!"

Lily looked slightly stung, Auden immediately felt terrible, "Oh I'm sorry Lily, I know that you thought he was a really good guy. But sometimes people just disappoint—"

"Excuse me!" Said a familiar voice that filled Auden with dread, she turned her head slowly to see Sirius Black standing right behind her.

"Yes?" She asked impatiently.

"Can you fetch me one of those mouth-watering cupcakes?"

"Why?" Snarled Auden.

"Because they look just positively divine, just like something else at this table…" His grey eyes met Auden's and she tried not to blush. She turned back to her friends, their eyes on her, looks of amazement on their faces. Auden tried to ignore them and snatched up a cupcake, handing it quickly to Black who looked pleased.

"Satisfied?" Asked Auden coldly.

Sirius chuckled and then lowered his voice, "I don't think I'll be satisfied until I get exactly what I want from you… which I don't think is something that ought to be mentioned at lunch. After all it's not really mealtime talk… It's more of... you know—pillow talk. " Auden suddenly became very rigid, and didn't dare to meet his eyes again, she was frozen, stunned. "I'll see you later Kingston. Happy Monday." And he walked away, back down the table to sit with James.

Auden just sat there her hands in her lap staring at them. "Wait, what just happened?!" Asked Fiona incredulously.

"I don't know!" Said Lily defensively.

Emily sniggered, "You guys can be so thick, sometimes. It's obvious what's going on." The others stared at her blankly, she sighed, "She's Sirius Black's new target of course!" She looked at them expectantly, still nothing. "It's what people call girls that Black chases down you know, before he—um…" She did a motion of someone shooting a gun, "—them."

Lily cringed, "Oh gross!" And then looked at her best friend appalled, "Auden!"

"What?!" Asked Auden protectively, "It's not like I asked for it Lily, I don't even know the guy, really! Believe it or not I didn't go up to him and say 'Oh hey Black you know what would be really great, if you took me up to your dormitory and make me feel like a naughty girl!'"

"Aww, gross!" Lily cried, "You've put me off my Sheppard's pie!"

"I know someone else at this table who's going to be getting 'off' pretty soon." Emily sniggered.

"Emily!" Gasped Fiona outraged.

Auden glared at her, "I would never—"

"Oh whatever, you say that now." Emily starting to get up and slinging her back over her shoulder, "But other girls say that Black can be quite persuasive…"

"Yeah but all those 'other girls' are slags, Auden is nothing like them!" Said Lily.

"Yeah, that's right!" Nodded Auden, pleased to have someone one her side for once.

"Okay." Said Emily raising both hands in the air, "Just be careful because you know what people say, 'Once you go Black, you never go back…'" And with that she walked away smirking at her friends over her shoulder.

"That's ridiculous." Auden Muttered, "That's just something he likes to spread around…"

Fiona looked apprehensive, "Don't get mad at me Aud, but—do be careful… Black does have quite the effect on girls…"

"Yeah, take precautions, don't give into his wicked good looks and flirtatious charms!" Lily added looking frightened.

"Is that all the confidence you two have in me?! Honestly, you guys don't need to worry about a thing, I would rather die then ever be, with Sirius Black."
