Chapter 30
Marlene McKinnon & Sirius Black
Sirius Black
So for some crazy reason Marlene and I both get detention, because of the same thing, at the same time.
And even more crazily both of us claim to have not done this thing.
McGonagall refuses to give us any reason why the hell we are put in this detention.
She also refuses to make us do anything.
She just locks us inside her classroom, to do absolutely nothing until she gets back.
"Minnie has gone crazy," Marlene mutters and sits down on one of the desks.
I nod my head slowly, eying her carefully, before mimicking her actions and picking my own desk to sit on.
Marlene looks at me, the corner of her mouth twitching a bit like she's about to say something, but stops her self.
"Are we just going to sit here in silence?" She finally manages out.
I look over at her, shrugging my shoulders a bit. "Are you talking to me?"
Her eyes narrow. "What is that supposed to mean?"
I can't stop my self from rolling my eyes. "Aren't you angry with me?"
She scowls, crossing her arms. "You are such a child."
I roll my eyes again.
She bites her lip. "I don't want to be angry at you."
"Are you?"
"Maybe."
I sigh. "I can't apologize for it."
She scowls again. "I've noticed."
"I'm not sorry for fighting her. I am sorry though for.."
"For what?"
"Hurting you."
"Then stop doing it."
"How?"
"Kiss me."
And before I can react she has jumped me, her arms around my neck and her mouth on mine.

I let my self fall on the couch next to James in the Common Room, closing my eyes and lean back.
"So you and Marlene are not fighting anymore eh'?" James asks, sitting up in the couch, eying the sleeping Peter next to him.
I shrug. "I guess."
"Where is she?"
I shrug again. "She went to find Macdonald."
James nods. "Key."
"I know it was you and her that got us into the detention. Marlene went to probably yell at Macdonald."
James gives away a sheepish grin. "Should I be scared of you then?"
I shrug again, "Meh, just watch out for her."
James laughed. "Watch out for Mars? Wow, has she made you all soft? Does she wear the pants in this relationship?" James grins teasingly.
I scowl. "Do you want me to hit you?" I then roll my eyes slightly.
He gives away a quiet snort.
There is suddenly a loud noise interrupting us when Peter shoots up in the couch, causing the book he had been sleeping on to fall on the floor with a loud bang.
"Bad dream?" James asks with a small smile.
Peter nods slowly, looking around confused.
"Sirius," a sweet voice gets me to look up and form the confused Peter and I see a familiar girl, I'm pretty sure she's a fifth year and she's obviously a Gryffindor - her being in the Common Room that is.
She gives me a sweet smile and flips her brown hair over her shoulder.
"Yes?" I ask after a short silence.
The girl obviously takes that as an offer to sit down so she does.
She crosses her legs and places a hand on my thigh.
"I wanted to have a word with you."
"Oh?" I raise my eyebrows and slowly place my hand on hers.
She quickly intertwines our fingers, which makes me groan as I move my hand with her from my thigh and drop it on hers, pulling my hand from hers quickly.
"Well, I don't know if they are letting us back to Hogsmeade any time soon," she gives away a dramatic sigh. "But that doesn't have to mean we can't go on dates with people does it?" She gives me another smile when I say nothing. "Sooo," she seems to be getting a little annoyed with my silence.
My eyes swift over to James only to see him to have moved himself with Peter to another couch, he stares at me with a weird look on his face.
"-I was thinking," the brunette continues, giving me a little nudge to make sure I look back at her. "Maybe you and I should go out sometime."
I look at her, my eyebrows rising. "Sorry?"
She sighs, her fingers grabbing mine again, "Sirius, I'm asking you out."
"I have a Marlene," is the first thing I can say. "I have a girlfriend I mean," I manage out.
She rolls her eyes. "Do you seriously think that's going to last sweets?"
My eyes narrow. "Why wouldn't it?"
"Well the whole schools know you guys like almost broke up like few days ago," she rolls her eyes again. "And I mean.. you're Sirius Black and she's just Marlene McKinnon. Sure she's popular and all that shit, and guys find her good looking. But she's not good enough for you, I wish you could see that."
"I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to try to -"
"I mean look at her, she's already flirting with your best friend"
Her words make me stop in the steps and my eyes flutter straight over to James, but next to him is no Marlene, only Peter.
"What do you-"
She points a finger and my eyes follow it.
And there Marlene is indeed - I hadn't even seen her enter the room, standing next to my best friend Remus Lupin, her hands cupping his cheek and his arms wrapped around her waist.

Marlene McKinnon
After "Yelling" a bit at Mary I decide to go back to the Common Room.
I'm honestly not even that angry at Mary or James.
I'm too happy to care.
Yes. I'm happy.
I Marlene McKinnon am happy.
I haven't been this happy in a while and its a pleasant change.
"Spiderweb" I say to the Fat Lady portrait and step into the crowded Common Room, I walk over to the end looking for Sirius, but before I can finish my search someone grabs my arm.
"Marlene, can I have a word?"
I spin around facing Remus with a smile. "Sure Lupey, what's up?"
Remus rubs his hands together slightly nervously. "Well, you are the only person I know at the moment thats in a relationship."
I laugh, but give him a nod. "And?"
"And well.. uhm.. I just, I feel like ... with Blaire, like i can't."
"Can't what?"
He takes in a deep breath and then exhales. "I'm afraid of like.. kissing her in public and touching her and... I feel like I don't do enough of stuff for her... take her out.. and stuff."
I can't stop form laughing a bit. "Well, I'm not the best relationship person cus like you might have noticed mine and Sirius' relationship isn't normal at all."
He gave away a laugh.
"But seriously Rem, if you want to ask her out on a date or something, just do. I know you know where the kitchen is and how to get there. The house elves are really nice when it comes to offering you a late or early breakfast." I shrug slightly.
Remus smiles a bit. "Yeah, it's just, I don't really know what to call... her."
"What do you mean?" I laugh silently. "Her name is Blaire, so why can't you just call her that?"
"I mean.. like..." he leans in a bit as to whisper what he means. "Girlfriend."
"Oh," My face grows a little red, I have this same issue, I don't know if I can call Sirius my .. boyfriend in public, to be honest it feels weird.
"Yeah" he nods his head, laughing a little awkwardly.
"Well, you can just do it.. you want her to be your girlfriend right?"
"Well she said she's be, but I've never ... called her it before."
I shrug. "Take a chance Rem, just scream it out one day and see what she does." I give away a laugh. "I'm sure she wont run away screaming."
Remus laughs again.
I give away silent sigh poking Remus in the cheek "Is there something more on your mind?"
"She likes to dance," he manages to mutter out.
"What?" I ask amused.
"She likes to dance, and I'm rubbish at it... I don't know where to.. just.. put my hands and I just-"
"Dance?" I repeat.
"Yup."
I can't stop my self from laughing now as I put my hands on Remus' shoulder. "Alright, I'll show it to you then."
"What-"
"Put your hands around my waist," I instruct with a smile growing on my lips.
Remus hesitantly does what he's told.
"And then you just..sway to the music.. which we don't have." I laugh out, slowly moving my legs to show him how to do it. "She wont notice that you suck dear, you don't."
I stop moving, then I move hand head to his cheek, giving him a little pat on it. "Just be yourself Rem, I know it's cheesy and weird coming from me. But seriously that girl is so smitten, she wants the real Rem, be him." I end my cheesy advise with a small smile, poking him in the cheek again.

Sirius Black
I force myself to tear my eyes away from Marlene and Remus and look over to the brunette.
"I'm sorry Sirius," she gives away a dramatic sigh as she brushes her hand by my cheek.
I lean back and away from her touch.
"They are friends," I grit out. "They've always been friends. Besides, he's my best friend and he's with Blaire -"
"Exactly, the same Blaire you took to the ball. It's called revenge Sirius"
"Remus isn't-"
"You kissed Blaire, Sirius at the ball, everyone knows that. But your friendship was so quickly restored, its' not normal. Maybe they've been plotting this for days. I mean she must've gotten shocked too, everyone knows Blaire and Marlene don't like each other-"
"Shut up!" I snap.
The brunette rolls her eyes. "I know this is hard for you to hear, but seriously Sirius," she gives away yet another sigh. "It's better this way," her hand reaches for my cheek again, but I slap it away.
I stand up, glaring daggers.
I don't know if to believe her or not.
But whatever is going on, it has me pissed as hell.
"Sirius-" she tries once again, but I ignore it and stomp my way up to the boy's wing, not even looking at Marlene once.

Marlene McKinnon
Remus and I take our seats on chairs next to an empty table. My eyes flutter around the room and stop on where Sirius sits on a couch, with Sarah Facet next to him.
My eyes narrow slightly and I sigh.
"Well, because I have given you 'advise', do you think you can give me some?" I turn to Remus with the smallest smile.
"I'll try," he smiles out.
I give away a little sigh. "I'm still nervous about other girls."
Remus raises his eyebrows "What do you mean?"
I wave my hand at Sirius. "That for example." I sigh. "I know so many girls that want to be with Sirius and it makes me nervous. I mean it isn't the same like it was when we weren't officially together. Then I had no right to tell him what to do... but now when we're together, if he were to cheat on me, there is no going back and I'm afraid of the humiliation that will come with that."
"Marlene," Remus sighs. "We both know how weird it is for Sirius to actually be in an exclusive relationship,"
I can't stop my self from snorting a bit, but I let him continue.
"-But, I'm almost fully sure he wont cheat on you. He isn't that person, he doesn't cheat in relationships."
I roll my eyes, not really buying it.
"Do you love him?" Remus then says after a small silence.
"Do you love Blaire?"
"Yeah."
My eyes grow big. "What? Really?"
He gives me a sheepish grin. "Yup."
"Have you told her?"
"ARE you mad?" Remus laughs out.
I open my mouth to say something else but stop when I notice were a grumpy looking Sirius stomps his way up to the Boy's wing, followed by James and Peter.
Remus follows my gaze and sighs a bit. "I better go check what's up."
"Yup." I give away a sigh before I shake my head and turn around to walk away from Remus.
It feels like one drama has ended, but there is another waiting to spring out.
