Love & Scars

I Trust You

After Regulus appearance in the Gryffindor common room, he finally made a decision to sit at the Gryffindor table. Izzie had to reassure him that it didn't matter if his parents found out, because he was off age now. So, for the first time in years, probably, a snake sat among the lions. Some Gryffindors shot him a nasty look, but quickly ducked away when Izzie or Sirius glared at them. Izzie was sitting next to Reg with Remus on his other side. Right across from her sat Sirius, Lily, James and Peter. She was just chatting with Sirius about tapes for his Walkman when a pretty sixth year girl slid on the bench next to him.

"Hi, Sirius." She said with a flirty smile. Lily rolled her eyes excessively at Izzie, making it hard to control a chuckle.

"Heidi." He nodded at her before he turned back to Izzie. "Have you heard the new-"

"I was wondering -" Heidi interrupted, trailing a finger over his arm. "If you wanted to come with me to Hogsmeade next weekend?"

"I do not." He picked up her hand that was on his arm and placed it on the table.

"Why not?" She pouted, which she thought would look cute.

"Because I'm not interested, just like I wasn't when Gwendoline asked."

"I mean, yeah, I get why you said no to her. Gwendoline isn't the most -"

Izzie couldn't help but interrupt because Gwendoline was just one of the sweetest people she had met, and she was there when she asked out Sirius. She was shy and nervous. Sirius let her down so gently it made Izzie fall even harder for him.

"I suggest you stop what you were about to say. If anyone has a chance with Sirius, Gwendoline would sure top you, sweetheart. So, I suggest you just scamper off." She waved her hand. The others all snickered, while Sirius beamed at her.

"I -" Her mouth dropped open and she turned to Sirius. "You can't just let her talk to me like that!"

"And why not?" He raised an eyebrow at her. "She's right. And besides I'm not available."

"You're not available?"

Sirius suddenly jumped on the bench and gathered the attention from everyone near him. What is he doing? Izzie mused with a grin.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" He asked, twirling around on the bench. He didn't need to ask, he gathered attention faster than bees on honey. "Although I am extremely flattered that you all want to go out with me, I am rather irresistible." Izzie snorted in her drink, while the others made the same nose around her. Sirius ignored them, his chin held high as he continued. "But I am off the market, so please stop drooling over me -"

"I thought he couldn't get worse." Regulus muttered to Izzie, which made her laugh. Sirius glared playfully at them before turning back to his 'fans'.

"And stop asking me out. I think my girlfriend," Izzie heart skipped a beat. They haven't actually discussed what their relationship was right now, but this would describe it best to be honest. Remus and James wiggled their eyebrows at her. "Would appreciate if you all backed off. Thank you." He bowed.

"Who is she?" A Ravenclaw asked before Sirius could climb down.

"Someone very special to me. And I don't want you to bother her, so I rather keep her all to myself thank you." With that he flopped back down on his seat. Heidi looked at Sirius for another moment, but when he didn't acknowledge her, she stormed off. Whispers broke out over the whole room as they speculated who it might be.

"So, you have a girlfriend?" Izzie asked with raised eyebrows. "Why wasn't I informed?" She couldn't help but smirk as Sirius eyes bulged out of his head.
