Chapter 19°

Chapter 19° Yes

oOoOoOo

The holidays had passed and everyone seemed to be spreading joy. The students were settling in, packing out their suitcases and enjoying the sun that overwhelmed the cold air. So did the marauders. Peter, James, Remus and Sirius were sitting on their beds, in their dorm, and had already opened their suitcases.

Remus was folding his socks, while James sorted his clothes into the wardrobe. Peter was changing into a t-shirt and Sirius put on his leather jacket. The brand new leather jacket, that Carrie got him for Christmas. To be honest. Sirius had worn it everyday since he opened the package. It fit so perfect on him and always reminded him of Carrie. All gone soft, I know.

Remus looked up at his friend, to see him looking at himself in the large mirror, that stood in front of the wall. He straightened his posture, along with the jacket, and smiled at it. Remus smirked. ,,Are you already admiring yourself in the mirror, Pads?"

Sirius quickly turned around surprisedly. He was too deep in thought about Carrie and the New-Years party. She looked so beautiful, he thought. So perfect. She is absolutely perfect. He still could feel her lips on his cheek, right where she placed them that night. And she didn't do it because of a mistletoe or something like that. That's why he loved to remember this kiss and not the real one before the holidays. However, I would lie if I'd say he hadn't thought about the mistletoe-kiss as well. Finding himself zoned-out again, Sirius didn't answer the question and kept looking down at the jacket.

,,Oh, he's not admiring himself this time." James informed laughing. Since he lived with this boy, he knew what or let's say who he was thinking about when he looked at this jacket. ,,He's admiring the leather-jacket. Carrie gave it to him for christmas."

Remus head shot up to James and then switched to he jacket. Carrie bought this jacket? And gifted it to him for christmas? Damn, she's good. Remus smiled at Sirius. Seeing his friend so smitten over a girl is a really cute and extraordinary sight.

,,She did?" Peter asked, saying out loud what Remus was thinking.

,,Yeah, she send it to our house. And let me tell you, he freaked out when he saw it. Pads is wearing it all the time." James said. ,,I think he even sleeps in it." he whispered, making his friends laugh and Sirius snap out of his thoughts.

,,What?!"

,,Oh nothing, it's nothing." Remus brushed it off, still laughing. ,,Will you now tell us what happened to New-Years?"

Sirius hadn't actually told the boys about that evening and what happened in detail yet. ,,What do you mean?" he asked sheepishly. 

,,Oh, come on." Peter teased smirking. ,,When we all slept at James' house that night, you were smiling as bright as ever, like a little toddler who was just gifted some candy. Something definitely must have happened, so tell us."

,,Well-"

,,Well, what?" 

,,I mean, we danced. After Belle made me do it, I couldn't really back off and stop it. So we danced and talked until the countdown. And then she kissed me on the cheek." Sirius explained getting quieter at the end.

,,SHE GAVE YOU A KISS?"

,,ON NEW YEARS?"

,,YOU WERE HER NEW YEARS KISS?"

Peter, James and Remus shouted all at the same time. Once Sirius finished his sentence none of them could contain their thoughts or words. Sirius looked down, his cheeks turning bright red.

,,It was just on the cheek." he mumbled.

,,Oh shit, he's blushing." James said, acting like he's crying, wiping an imaginary tear from his right eye. ,,My little baby boy is blushing."

Sirius hid his face in his hands, trying to conceal his blush and shouted: ,,Oi shut it!" He went and sat on his bed and once again a smile appeared on his face, taking over his features. However, it was different from the others.

Remus noticed the unsatisfied, not finished look on his mates face and decided to dig a little deeper. ,,Are we missing something else, Pads?" 

,,Well, I-"

Peter narrowed his eyes at his friend who is usually one of the most open people he knew. And Sirius Black never stumbled over his words. ,,You-?

,,I asked her to go to the valentines-ball with me." Sirius mumbled in disbelieve and lowered his head down to his open hands

,,YOU DID?!" James shouted jumping up. Merlin, that boy had some energy. ,,How come I'm only hearing about this now?!" he shuddered, holding up his index finger at his friend like a belated threatening. However, Sirius decided to stay silent as he didn't know what to say. He didn't seem to find quiet the right moment to tell the boys and kept it to himself for a little. And maybe, just maybe he had even expected Carrie to step out of it at the end of night.

,,What did she say?" Peter asked. But registering the smile that started to form on Sirius' face, the answer was quite obvious. And Peter couldn't help but feel extremely proud and happy for his mate. Now he must get the girl of his dreams.

Sirius stood up, straightened his back and brushed through his hair. Putting on his most true smile he said proudly. ,,She said yes."

The boys around him started cheering and whistling loudly. And even then, Sirius couldn't help but smile. Because he did it. He really asked her and she said yes.
