Elegantly Wasted: Sirius Black

5 - Quidditch

________________________
11th September 1976

Laurie, Lily, Remus and Peter were on the Quidditch pitch waiting for their three friends to come out of the changing rooms.

As soon as they see them they run over.

"I told you you'd be here Evans," James said cockily.

"And I told you I'm only here for Marlene," lily said back to him.

The group began to walk with Laurie and Sirius trailing behind them."Do you like my new broom Laurie?" Sirius asked trying to show off .

"Yes Sirius it's lovely" Laurie didn't know what else to say back to him so she just gave him a small smile.

"Maybe later you can ride MY broom" he wasn't sure why he said it one could say it just slipped out that way but Sirius was sure that as soon as the words left his stupid mouth he decided that now would be the perfect time to pitch himself of the astronomy tower.

"I-" Laurie had a bewildered expression on her beautiful face "what?"

"My NEW broom, maybe later you could ride my NEW broom" he tried to save it "the NEW broom in my hands, what else could I possibly mean" by now his face was bright red with embarrassment.

Laurie began to giggle she didn't mean to but I'm sure anyone reading could understand why she did.

The giggle turned to a full-blown laugh "I'm sorry" she barely got out "I don't mean to laugh" she laughed again "I would like that"

"You would!" Sirius nearly shouted complete stunned that the girl even wanted to talk to him after what he said.

"Yes," she said calmly " your NEW broom by the way, not the other one" she quickly slipped in.

"Well then meet me here after dinner"

"Looking forward to it"

"Stop flirting and hurry up the both of you tryouts are about to start" James shouted back at them and they ran up to the rest of the group

It was now after dinner and Sirius was standing at the supply shed outside of the changing room grabbing two brooms one for himself and another for Laurie.

She wasn't there yet and he was worried she had just been joking about meeting him there that evening.

What if she was only joking around with him and he took it seriously and by simply being there was making a fool of himself.

'Shut up Sirius it's only 5 minutes after the feast she'll be here' he told himself 'you hope'

Suddenly he heard her voice from behind him "I hope you're not just standing around"

"Course not" he turned to look at her, she was wearing blue jeans that had flowers stitched on and flared out at the bottom and a tight, white t-shirt that had 'i am so a virgin' written on it.

"I like the top" Sirius complimented "believable" he added sarcastically.

"Thanks," Laurie said with a smirk.

"You'll be cold," he told her, he was right she would be cold it was autumn in Scotland and it was already getting dark.

"I don't care much for cold"
