Denial is First Step to Acceptance

15. Perverts and Matchmaking

Yes, a bit of a filler, but its fine, its got a bit of interesting bits, but yeah, enjoy :) x

I woke up to loud voices out in the common room. I quickly stepped out, happy that I am me again and not bothering to change out of my pyjamas, which consisted of a tight red tank top which only came down to 3 centimetres above my bellybutton and showed my every curve and black underpants and a belt which held my wand. I saw that Frank, James, Sirius and Remus had already gone to the common room.

When I stepped down stairs, the common room volume dropped and the male population wolf-whistled. I pushed past everyone and stopped half way. Someone squeezed my ass. The heat rose in my cheeks and I turned around, wand raised. Yes, I keep my wand with me at all times thanks. A sixth year boy by the name of Gilderoy Lockhart had his hand right where my ass was, and a stupid smirk on his face. I really don't know how this idiot made it to Gryffindor. I couldn't be bothered with my wand so I put it back into my belt. I raised my hand as if to slap him but a strong hand grabbed my wrist, and I was hoisted onto a shoulder. And that shoulder belonged to none other than Sirius Black.

He turned around in the direction of James and Remus, who were standing at the notice board. I faced Gilderoy Lockhart and he winked, and stuck out his thumb and pinkie and put his hand next to his ear.

"Now now gorgeous, no need to get rough." Sirius said in a voice of mock motherly-ness.

"You sound like my mum." I grunted, crossing my arms as he walked off to the notice board. "And why can't I hit him? He. Touched. My. ASS!"

"To be honest, wouldn't every guy here want to?" Sirius said idly as we got to the noticeboard with James. James and Remus.

"Swifty, The Ball is on the 14th of November, in a fortnight, no masks. And Hogsmeade tomorrow." Remus said.

"YAY! Don't worry, I had a back-up plan allll along." I screamed excitedly. "When can we go out to get our clothes?"

"It says here that girls may go out on the 7th and 8th of November but it is tradition that girls are to shop with girls only, and boys to shop with boys." James said, reading off another notice for the masquerade ball. "Oh. And 5th year above HAVE to come. Girls need to come in dresses, men dressrobes." James smirked. He knew how much I hated dresses.

"Looks like I'm going to make friends with Lily." I said, sliding off Sirius's muscular back and looking around for Lily.

"Your streaks are getting redder. They're natural right?" Sirius said randomly. I nodded.

"Where? Where's my Lilyflower?" James said looking around.

"I'd prefer if you just said Lily, or Evans Potter." Lily said, walking towards us.

"Lily!" James said, his face glowing. "I-"

"Can I come with you to buy our Masquerade ball dresses?" I butted in.

"Yeah, sure! You can come with Mary, Alice, Fiona and me!" Lily said happily.

"Fiona?" Remus blurted out.

"Yeah, Fiona Lovegood." Lily said, eyebrow raised. "do you--"

"No I don't like her!" Remus said, blushing.

"I was going to ask if you knew her." Lily said, suspiciously.

"oh." Was all Remus could say.

"So, Robin, do you want to meet Mary, Alice and Fiona?" Lily said, holding a hand out. I took it and glanced at James, who appeared to be envious.

I followed Lily to where three girls sat. One had dirty blond short hair and was eyeing someone in the distance while curling her hair, the second had pretty red square frame glasses, straight black hair with a straight fringe (half Asian), and was reading a magazine called The Quibbler, and the third had curly brown hair, and was watching Lily quietly.
