Amour

Quatre

Potions finished up nicely, Remus managed to get the draught of peace under control--after a lot of images with Peter in a tutu--and James actually  managed to contain himself. They were supposed to have Charms next, but Dumbledore had sent round a patronus, telling all the students to gather in the great hall. 

"I bet this is about the goblet of fire" Marlene suggested as her and Sirius walked down a corridor, the other boys had forgotten they actually needed next periods books and had to run back to get them. Now it was just Sirius and Marlene. 

"moins de leçons, mieux c'est" Sirius shrugged. "Less lessons the better"

"J'ai besoin de te parler de quelque chose" Marlene sighed, taking Sirius off guard with the perfect French. I need to talk to you about something. 

"Oui...?" Sirius replied, surprised, he also muttered finite switching off the translation charm. Yes....? 

"Alors tu es gay?" She studied him, Imagine if he's not, might as well launch myself off the astronomy tower. You are gay right?

"vous avez un bon œil pour un débutant" He laughed. You have a good eye for a beginner. 

"Oh je suis désolé, qu'est-ce que tu es? Le Dieu des gays? Mes excuses le prophète Sirius" She mock-bowed. Oh I'm sorry, what are you? The God of the gays? My apologies prophet Sirius.

"Escusé" He waved her off. Excused. 

"mais pour de vrai, pouvons-nous aimer nous sentir ou quelque chose?" Marlene questioned, stopping the two of them just outside the great hall. But for real, can we like sense each other. 

Sirius looked at her knowingly, "Quest-ce?" Who is it.

"Arrête ça! dis-moi juste comment tu, tu sais, sais!" She hit his chest. Stop that! Just tell me how you, y'know, know. 

"bien comment as-tu su pour moi?" He asked, patting her head. Well how did you know about me?

"oh je vous ai vu vous et Remus ce matin monsieur 'vous le faites alors' " She winked. Oh I saw you and Remus this morning, Mr "you do it then".  

"Faire cheir" He scoffed. Piss off. 

The pair walked into the great hall, most of the students had lined themselves against the walls, blue's red's and yellow's blending voluntarily, greens huddled territorially. Sirius looked around, trying to spot someone in particular. 

"Charlotte!" He called over the crowds of people, the brunette swinging her ponytail to look at him. 

Her expression softened slightly when she noticed who he was with. 

"Bonjour encour" She nodded at Marlene, smiling. Hello again. 

"Salut" Marlene breathed back, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

Sirius looked between them, smirking "Oups, il y a James, au reviour!" Oops, there is James, bye! and he left them to their own devices.

Sirius wasn't lying, the boys had just walked in the hall, along with Dumbledore and a man he did not recognise. 

"Hello!" Sirius bounded over, flicking James in the nose, trying out some English for once. 

"Gah!" James jumped, hitting Peter in the face.

"What did I do!?" Peter exclaimed, holding his forehead.

"I thought it was you that snuck up on me!"
