A/N: So the support I have received is unflappable and I love you guys so much!
Chapter 6 - First date.
"This horrible...It' the worse thing to have ever happened!" Sirius moaned.
"Melodramatic much" Scarlett said rolling her eyes at him.
"I am not! But Scar dating...Really?"
"Why not? Normal go out on dates so why can't I"
"Scar you're the farthest thing from normal...You're a decedent of Merlin and you can change you're appearance at will. What's normal about that" Sirius said.
"Don't you think I know that? But honestly maybe for one night I would like to pretend to be normal! To not have to worry if the person will ask me to change into someone else or if my brother can give them an autograph! But no I guess I can't have one night" She snapped storming to her room where a loud bang.
"Scar! Scar...I'm sorry" He called when no voice answered him he smacked his forehead "Stupid! Stupid!"
Scarlett wiped furiously at her eyes. She wasn't that mad at Sirius she knew he was only being half serious but she was tired of having people judge her over her brother or the fact she was a metamorphagus. She was horribly reminded of when she dated Chuck Whitehall.
Flashback.
Scarlett was happy. Chuck Whitehall. A guy she had fancied since second year had asked her out. They had already been on a few dates and now were 'official'. She was sat in the three broomsticks waiting for him to arrive. He did and she greeted him with a kiss but he moved so it was on his cheek
"Chuck...What's wrong" She asked hurt slightly as they sat down.
"Nothing...It's just...We've been going out for a while so I thought you might be able to do me a favour"
"Sure...what is it" She asked.
He took a folded up piece of paper from his pocket and placed it in front of her. It was a photo of a woman with blonde hair and...Very large endowments.
"Chuck…what's this"
"Can you make yourself look like this?" He asked. For a long time she stared at him like a goldfish. Then she reached over and slapped him on his face. He fell of his chair with the force of it and she stood up with tears gathering in her eyes. She turned and ran back to the castle repeating the mantra of 'I will not cry'. She ran into her dorm room where she met Cho. Upon seeing her friend she cancelled the date with Cedric who came into the common room. Together they held their friend and each silently vowed to destroy the boy who had hurt her.
End flashback.
A knock at her door dragged her from her memories. She opened the door to find Sirius with a small box.
"Hey Scar..Can I come in" She moved out of the way and he walked in. He sat down on her bed and opened the box. He pulled out a photo and handed it to her.
It was of Sirius with a blonde woman. They were holding each other. "A year after Hogwarts I met Kathrine at a muggle bookstore. We bumped into each other and ended up talking over coffee all night. That was taken a year or so after we met. I loved her so much. I stopped using magic and even lessened my contact with everybody. I wanted to be normal. To have someone who wouldn't judge me because of my parents or family"
"What happened"
"She was killed by death-eaters a year after this. I get it Scar. I really do. I was being an idiot downstairs. But I know what it;s kike to want to be normal" He said. She sat net to him and hugged him tight.
"Siri...It's not like I'm planning marriage and kids right now. I just wanna date" She said "But thank you...For telling me"
"Any time Scar…Don't be afraid to call me a prat when I act like one"
"Any time Siri...Now I gotta get ready for my date" She said hugging him again and kissing his cheek. She watched at his friends retreating back. Sighing she dived head first into her wardrobe and looked through the dredges at bottom.
They walked in a pleasant silence. After the movie they had taken a stroll to Piper's restaurant, Halliwells, and eaten a delicious meal (free of course), Now they were walking the streets of San Francisco.
"So…You eat for free every time you go there"
"Pretty much. It's handy for days like this" He said with a smile. They took a turn down an alley behind a few shops which Scarlett learned was a short cut to their street.
"So…I had a lot of fun with you" She said as they came to a stop at an intersection.
"Me too…I hope we can do it again" He said slightly with a slightly hopeful tone at the end.
"Definitely" She said smiling. She stepped closer to him and he leaned his head to hers. She could feel his breath on her cheek. They moved closer until.
An energy ball flew above their heads and exploded in a shower of sparks.
Scarlett quickly spun around and faced the attacker. It was a low level demon if her memory served her correct and a simple fire attack should vanquish it. Another energy ball flew to her and she ducked as it exploded behind her. That being said she needed to live to vanquish it.
A trash can lid flew past her and she saw Chris with his arm extended. He flicked his hand and a dumpster flew around trapping it against the wall. It snarled in fury and conjured and threw another energy ball. It threw it but Scarlett flicking her hand sent it spinning back with a gust of wind. It screamed as it exploded.
Scarlett turned and looked at Chris with him doing the same. Nothing was said for a while and the only noise was the occasional his form the pipes leading to a take out and the sound of traffic behind them.
"I'm a witch" She said.
