Chapter 24

Extras and Marlene McKinnon

Ariadne Ellingham.

I have no idea how I ended up here: locked in an empty classroom with Mary Macdonald staring at me.

"Uhm… So Mary, what did you want to talk about?"

Mary sighs. "Well, there are two things."

"Yes?"

"One. You know Blaire Vandever, right?"

I nod slowly. "She's my best friend, why?"

Mary grins and takes a seat on the teachers' desk. "Well, she is currently dating a friend of mine, Remus and well, Lene and I think we should know more about this 'person' that's dating Remmie."

I raise my eyebrows, a little freaked out. "Alright, what do you want to know?"

Mary shrugs and leans back. "I don't know, what is there to know? Has she had many boyfriends in the past? Is she a total bitch? Should I warn Remmie about her? Has she fancied him for long? Is she a whore?"

All the questions sprung out from the 6th year's mouth like she was going to die if she didn't say all of it in ten seconds.

"Uh… uhm … Blaire is a great person. She's an amazing friend, she has not dated many people, she is not a whore… Were there more questions?"

"For how long has she fancied Remmie?"

"Uhm," I bite my lip. "I don't know if Blaire wants people to know."

The dirty-blonde sends me a look. "Alright then, onto question number two."

I look at her – more questions?

"Are you and Fabian Prewett dating?"

I stop in my steps and stare at her before choking out, "Excuse me?"

She smiles. "Well, I need to know all the details because of this Bethany thing, I thought he was hopelessly in love with her...?"

My cheeks grow red as I mutter out/ "I-I have no i-dea."

She raises her eyebrows. "You have no idea?"

I blush again. "Look I don't know if he likes me or if he likes Bethany or whatever, all he did was ask me to a dance. Now, you can go spread that out. I have to go!" I mutter out and walk to the door. With a swift movement its unlocked and I go looking for Blaire to tell her all this.

These 6th year Gryffindor girls are truly messed up in the head.

So, for some weird reason I was intrigued with this Emmeline Vance girl. I mean, it isn't everyday were you meet a Gryffindor person that spends all her time with Slytherins.

So, today I had agreed to go with Narcissa down to the Library to meet up with Emmeline; Valerie is already there but Desiree was busy studying or something.

"Who is she anyway?" I ask, rather interested as I follow Naricssa.

She looks at me with raised eyebrows. "Who?"

"Vance of course," I roll my eyes.

"Oh. Emmeline? Well she and Valerie were study partners in some class if I remember right, or Des. I'm not sure and I don't really know. I just know that first time they started hanging out it made Avery and the guys – you know Mulciber and Snape and them all angry as freaking hell. I don't know, but somehow Des and Val made them accept her. She's interesting; I'm not sure if she really should've been a Gryffindor, but there's this…-"

"Gryffindor vibe?" I offer aloud.

"Yeah, there's this 'Gryffindor vibe' about her…"

"But… Are you guys loyal to her or to us?"

"You've started to sound like Avery," Narcissa rolls her eyes.

I shrug. "How does Malfoy feel about this?"

"Malfoy is gone," she answers in a mocky tone.

I roll my eyes again. "So you haven't told him you're besties with a Gryffindor?"

Narcissa rolls her eyes and decides not to answer me.

We enter the Library silently and walk immediately straight towards where Valerie and Emmeline are seated: behind some shelves in the end so they are not easily spotted.

"Hey," Narcissa says and takes a seat next to Emmeline, which makes my seat next to Valerie opposite the Gryffindor.

"Heya!" Valerie greets. "We were just talking about the plan of course," she says with a half eye roll.

"You're still in, right, Emmeline?" Narcissa asks with a soft smile.

Emmeline nods. "As long as no one knows I am and it doesn't hurt my friends."

I can't stop my self from scoffing and when Emmeline looks at me, I shrug.

Valerie sends me look. "What's up Lett?"

"I was just thinking," I answer shortly.

"'Bout?" says Valerie - not able to stop.

I roll my eyes and turn my attention towards Emmeline again. "Do you have any Gryffindor friends?"

Emmeline looks shocked but recovers quickly. "Well Mary and I are making progress agian… I .." she blushes and looks down. "I don't know."

I feel the familiar smirk grow on my face and notice Valerie half grinning half annoyed look and turns her attention back to Emmeline who gives her a smile.

I really must find out more about this girl.

Blaire Vandever.

I am happy.

I am so happy that it isn't normal.

I am usually a happy person, but this happy? How does a person … How can a person be this happy?

"What are you thinking about?" Remus asks as his hand trails over my hair.

I look up and at his face; he's so handsome. He's so handsome that it isn't normal.

"Nothing," I say with a smile and reach up to give him a peck.

He laughs and then turns back to his homework.

We're currently sitting in the Library studying together, and its nice. We're actually being a couple doing the couply stuff.

"You know… I don't know why I was so afraid of asking you out." Remus suddenly say and I smile.

"You shouldn't have been."

He laughs. "I know, its just… its hard you know? To think you might … That you might not accept my date and I'd just stand there like more a looser than I am, just rejected by a beautiful girl."

I blush, he does this a lot: says something that Ari would call "lovey dovey" and makes me blush. "Stop it," I say childishly and nudge him.

"Stop what?" He looks up with his always-so-innocent-look.

"Being so sweet," I frown. "It makes me feel like… I don't know, a person that is incapable of being sweet."

He laughs. "You are the sweetest person I know Blaire."

I blush again and flip the page that I hadn't even read yet, but with him next to me, talking like that, it's too hard to concentrate.

"Have Marlene and Sirius gotten together yet?" I ask to change the subject before I get that awkward he decides he doesn't want me anymore.

Remus sighs. "I have no idea. Sirius said something about leaving it up to her, but I have no idea if she responded yet." He shrugs.

"Do you want them to get together?"

He raises his eyebrows. "Of course I do! I have been waiting for it since fourth year or something."

I laugh and flip another un-read page. "I really hope they do get together."

"I really hope so too," he nods "as long as it doesn't end with heartbreak." He then looks at his watch with a sigh. "I'm sorry Blaire, I have to go to rounds, catch you later?" he asks and stands up, giving me a swift kiss on the head and then he's gone.

I sigh, pack my bags back in my bag and stand up. I pick up the Library book and find my way over to the right shelve where it belongs.

"Seriously, is everything ready?" I hear a familiar snake-ish voice that belongs to a Slytherin called Valerie-something.

A little bit curious, I look over the shelf and freeze; sitting next to the Slytherin girl is none other than Emmeline Vance - Remus' Gryffindor friend. Emmeline looks up and catches my eye and for a second - she just stares at me like her whole world has just come crashing down on her.

Marlene McKinnon.

I'm nervous to say the least.

Sirius is nowhere to be seen and hasn't been all day.

He's angry at me.

He's got to be.

Fucking hell, I screwed everything up didn't I?

I picked wrong.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

"Marlene?" His voice makes me jump up as he appears like called behind me.

"S-Sirius?"

He laughs as I turn around. "I want to show you something." He says silently and grabs my hand – he isn't grabbing my hand as in his fingers intertwined with mine; his hand is grasping my arm and dragging me forward and towards the Great Hall were most everyone is having dinner.

"What are we doing –" I ask, but let him drag me. He looks at me for a second with a mischievous smile but says nothing.

We finally reach the Great Hall and he drags me to the middle of the Gryffindor table; which is placed in the middle (with the Hufflepuff table).

"Move." He tells a weirded-out third year, who does what he is told and moves along enough to make a seat for one person. But Sirius doesn't seem intent on sitting; he lifts his feet up and stands on top of the bench and jumps onto the surface of the table, pulling me up with him.

"Sirius!" I laugh loudly as I step on food and find the whole Great Hall is staring at us; even the teachers have looked up from their food. "What are you –" But I never get to finish, instead his lips crash against mine.

"Sirius Black!" a faded voice yells out, but its not loud enough for me to hear whose because I'm busy - kissing Hogwarts' best kisser.

When we finally break apart, I realize the whole Great Hall is quiet.

"Listen," Sirius' voice comes, smirking from next to me as he snakes his hands around my waist. "Marlene McKinnon is no longer single and neither am I: the Sirius Black. So sorry boys, but she's mine."

Noises break all around the Hall but Sirius doesn't pay them any attention just captures my lips again and I gladly kiss him back, still in shock of what is happening.

"Sirius Black! Marlene McKinnon! Get off the table NOW!" Professor McGonagall screeches out, and after a few more moments Sirius jumps off of the table and helps me down.

There is a minute of silence until someone, none other than Dumbledore himself, begins to clap his hands together.

A few other students start to clap along with him and Sirius bursts out laughing before taking my hand – fingers intervened this time - and runs out with me from the Great Hall, leaving everyone staring after us.

Sirius Black is something else.
