Denial is First Step to Acceptance

17. Suspicious Sirius

So; BIIIIGGGGGGGGG hint here; LIKE GINORMOUSLY UBERLY GIANT. YEAH. OHKAY. GO READ; you get to meet the 'unoriginal' characters i have decided to create, sooo, GO GO GO <3

A couple of days had passed since the meeting, but Sirius was still on my tail. And It was getting pretty annoying, but for some reason, slightly pleasurable that Sirius is paying so much attention to her.

“Soo, James, how did the date go?” I asked, as the marauders (Sirius, James, Remus and Me) sat down to eat breakfast in the great hall.

“Perfect.” James said dreamily, though a pancake. And with his voice a great deal more business-like, “I told you she’d fall for me.”

“I have not fallen for you James. Potter. James Potter.” Lily said, but her face showed every sign of doubt.

“Sure. Sure, Lilyflower.” James said, winking. Lily blushed.

I got up and dragged Lily to where she was sitting with Alice and Fiona, a couple of seats away from where I was with the marauders.

“Lily!” I hissed. “Both you and I know that you fancy my brother!”

“I do not!” Lily said in the same tone as before. “At least. I think I don’t...” and she placed her face smack into her cupped palms, obviously torn between confusion, doubt, and love.

“Lilykins, all you have to say is ‘I love James Potter.’ That’s all.” I said soothingly, patting her back with one hand, the other shovelling food down my throat. Hey, a healthy girl needs to eat lots.

“But Gorgeous, I thought you loved me, not your own brother!” Sirius said from behind them.

“Oh, get a grip Siri. There isn’t a chance I’d like you, let alone you like me, with all those girls you’ve dated.” I said, my heart going a little bit fast when I heard his voice.

Sirius pouted, even his beautiful, stormy grey eyes looks genuinely sad. “What if I did?” he said, but I didn’t notice the urgency in his voice.

“Then that would make no sense, you practically get a new, as people say, flavour almost every week!” I said. Sirius looked taken-back.

“But what if I only dated them just to make you--” Sirius had managed to say before a hand had clamped over his mouth, making the rest of his sentence muffled gibberish. That hand, belonged to James Potter, accompanied by Remus.

“Now now Sirius. If we hadn’t done that then you’d surely regret it.” Remus said looking pointedly from Sirius’s struggling figure to my bewildered face.

“Let him speak!” I said, jumping up and prising James’s hand off of Sirius’s mouth. “What were you gonna say Pads?”

“Your right, I would have regretted it. Not now, at least.” Giving a thanking look to James and Remus.

“You guys are keeping a secret from me?” I said. “I’m hurt, I thought we were the marauders!” and without further ado, i sat back down. I turned around and said to the three horror-struck boys, “Good show eh? Now, before we’re late for class, go back to the table and eat.”

Their faces broke into large grins and they walked back to their seats. They put their heads together and I heard snippets of their conversation.

I stood up, taking Lily and the others by shock, and said, “History of Magic, with Slytherins! Now!” and ran out grabbing my bag.

Seven pairs of feet came thudding behind me as I came to a stop at the History of Magic classroom. The others collided behind me and I fell forward. I mean, really, who wouldn’t if seven sixth years came crashing into you?
