16th of February, 9.37, Girls Dormitory

Well, journal, today is the day. Yes, the Big Date with the Hogwarts Sex God. Alright. Oddly enough, I'm really not nervous or anything, which deeply concerns Anne, seeing as she was all wobbly-kneed before her first "date" with him. Although I hardly consider it a date, because we are just mates even though I slightly fancy him. But that doesn't matter at all, now does it? Of course not. Because in twenty years, he'll probably be married to some random girl from the pub and he'll be fat and balding. Mmhmm, in a perfect world, that is how Sirius Black would turn out.

9.39

Ahahahahahaha!!

9.40

Lizzie's Journal,

Terribly sorry, but we had to pry you away in order to prepare her for her Super Date with the ever-delicious Sirius Orion Black. And, yes, I suppose I should be upset with her because she is dating my ex-boyfriend, but I'm not. Because it's good to see Elizabeth happy, seeing as she has been denying Remus for so very long.

Wow... I actually understand why she writes in here so much- it's sort of addicting!

I better stop writing now.

Cheers, Anne

10.16, In a Carriage with Sirius

Even though Sirius thinks I'm bloody mad, I still brought you. I mean, this isn't any different that going to Hogsmeade with my mates, right? It's only the Valentine's Weekend trip. Pfft. Since when does that matter?

10.18

Haha. I can only imagine how the Fan Club feels about this... I bet they're all planning my kidnapping and horrible murder right now.

10.19

Are you mad?

Only slightly. But you already knew that, yeah?

Of course. So, anything special you want to do today?

Well, I'm sure you already have snogging on the agenda...

Indeed.

And possibly a quick run into Zonko's...

Yes.

Then a dash into Honeyduke's...

You're amazing at guessing, you know.

Who said I was guessing?

... No one.

Right-o. Hmm, we'll probably go to The Three Broomsticks, right?

You know me so well, love.

Get off it, you barmy cow.

Well, we're here, so stop writing

10.23, En Route to Honeyduke's

If he thinks that I'm not going to document this rather large to-do, then he's bloody mad.

10.26, Honeyduke's

As always, the place is crowded... But now I must make a beeline for the Sugar Quills!

10.34, Waiting to Pay

Sirius is paying for the eight boxes of Sugar Quills I grabbed. And now, I've officially depleted Honeyduke's of their Sugar Quill stock in less than ten minutes.

10.35

That takes skill, I'll have you know.

10.36

I should receive an award.

10.37

Or not... You know, I'll just draw myself a prize ribbon!

10.38

That looks awful... Just pretend that my little cousin drew that or something.

10.43, En Route to Zonko's Joke Shop

Sirius is thrilled... Apparently he's run out of Snape Torture Devices and he needs to resupply. Why am I not suprised? That poor bloke... With the face only a mother could love...

10.44

Wait, does Snape-adoodle even have a mum?

10.45

... I dunno.

10.48, Zonko's

Bwahahahaha!! Sirius just tripped over his own feet since he was in such a rush to get into the shop!

10.49

Magnificently graceful, I must say. If all of his dates go this well, I can certainly understand why so many girls are after him! (Not.)

10.50

Oh, looks like our fellow Marauders had the brilliant idea to come here, too! James is a bit too busy laughing hysterically to give a proper greeting, though.

10.51

Understandable, considering his best mate just made a total arse out of himself in front of the whole store.

10.52

I think Sirius deserves an award, too... I'm really in an award-giving mood today, aren't I? ... Bizarre.

11.44, En Route to The Three Broomsticks

Yes, we did spend that much time in Zonko's. They had some amazing new products that will work fabulously on unsuspecting firsties, random victims of torture, or even our beloved Snape.

11.45

You know, that would make a lovely title for a poem... "Our Beloved Snape." Perhaps I'll write it once we get to The Broomsticks?

11.52, The Three Broomsticks, Settled in a Booth

Time to compose a poem, since Sirius has gone to get us drinks. Erm, how do I start?

11.53

Our Beloved Snape: A Poem by Elizabeth P. Reynolds

Our Beloved Snape,

You have hair as black as an ape

But do not leave that mouth agape

With your hair now turning a lovely shade of grape.

Our Beloved Snape,

You make our young hearts ache

Perhaps you need a sun-bake,

Perhaps your large nose needs a reshape?

Our Beloved Snape,

You're just a bad spot on a beautiful landscape,

But, really, it's not a jape

For you are still Our Beloved Snape.

12.03

Lizzie, that is a madly brilliant poem! You need to copy that and post it about the school. It'd be a laugh-riot.

You think so?

I know so!

That can be our project for tomorrow.

Lovely!

12.11

Well, the Butterbeer is wonderful. And, to think, I was terrified to try it back in third year because my father had convinced me it truly was an alcoholic beverage and that, if I drank it, I would be expelled from Hogwarts forever. My father is so cruel to me!

12.12

... But I was stupid enough to believe him.

12.21

Uh-oh, I sniff trouble... Remus is coming over to our table looking slightly perturbed...

12.22

And he would like to speak with me privately...

12.23

Is this generally how "dates" go? With the bloke's best mate, who is currently avoiding you, wanting to speak with you privately about Merlin-knows-what?

12.24

Awkward silence... Is it acceptable for me to go with him or not?

12.25

Sirius just gave his approval after having this exchange of looks with our fellow Marauder...

12.26, En Route to Wherever Remus is Taking Me

Why did Sirius just let me go like that? Isn't he supposed to be all "macho?" Protect his property and all that lot?

12.27

Fact: Boys are stupid.

12.28

Sad how that's taken me this long to establish as fact... So very sad.

12.32, Passing the Shrieking Shack

And we're still walking. How privately does he wish to speak with me?!

12.38, Lamely Standing in Some Clearing in the Woods

Well, this is strange... Just standing here, looking around and writing and

Elizabeth won't be writing for a bit- we need to have a serious conversation without her writing everything down word-for-word.

1.17, Walking Back to Hogwarts

... Oh, Merlin.

1.46, Girls Dormitory

Well, aside from being a bit out of breath from walking all the way back, I'm fine. I'm just really, really out of shape.

1.47

But I do need to tell you what happened after Remus so rudely pulled you from my hands and tossed you into the snow.

1.48

Well, we had a rather long discussion where he was mostly going on about this and that, but then he asked me why I started to ignore him. And I couldn't think of an answer right away, so I told him that I didn't know. And then he asked if it had anything to do with what had happened on the train... Which he was completely correct in guessing.

1.52

So, anywubblies, he started asking me about why I was "all over" Sirius and then we had a decent row about that, and I'm still not quite sure who the winner was. But I told him that after the Train Incident I was very confused about him and his moodswings towards me and that Sirius was a lovely person to be in the company of when he wasn't being a complete prick. Remus was a bit angry at that statement, but I'd already said it, so I couldn't exactly rewind and take it back, now could I? So then he started to say something, but it came out in all mumbles and he ran his hand through his hair. And when I asked him to kindly to repeat what he said, he sighed and then closed the distance between us with one step and he started to snog me.

1.57

At first, I started to protest, but then I kind of melted into it. Like in those muggle film thingies that Lily makes me watch on occasion, you know, where the girl just gets the wobbly-knees and she has to wrap her arms around his neck, only to deepen the kiss. And it just feels like there are fireworks going off, even though there aren't, and the moment is just magical.

1.59

It felt just like that...

2.00

And I couldn't stop kissing him! I suppose you could say I was milking the snogging cow for all it was worth, but... I couldn't stop, and he wouldn't stop!

2.01

What was I to do?!

2.02

I'm not sure how long we were snogging, but as soon as we both pulled away, I said that I had to be somewhere and then I took off after grabbing you.

2.03

What have I done? I'm just stuck in a sticky web of entranced boys and I don't know what to do!

2.04

Le sigh. I'll have to consult with the gang, of course, but I think I need some alone time until evening.

2.05

I may even write my mum about this...

2.06

Never mind. I can only imagine the reply I would get from that woman.

2.07

Who do I go to with this?

2.08

I suppose I could always ask McGonagall... She is all-knowing, right? And she won't judge me or give me a biased opinion, since she's a professor...

2.09

And she always asks me how things are before we start my animagus lessons, anyway... Speaking of, I have one tomorrow afternoon at three... Hopefully I won't forget about it.

2.12

I completely forgot about my date with Sirius!!

2.13

Bloody snogging cows and curse that Remus Lupin!

So, my updating skills haven't been so fantastic. I'm terribly sorry. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and, yes, this chapter is very important to the plot, and I will let you know that it won't be soon before long! (Interpret as you wish.) As always, J.K. Rowling owns the World of Harry Potter and that which you don't recognize from the books or movies belongs to me, especially "Our Beloved Snape." Please continue to read and review! Reviews have been few and far between lately, kind of making me sad... Have I lost some of you? Happy Easter! Yours.
