Being Sirius' Sister

Kind of First Date

Leaving my room I get down to the common room and wait for the guys on the couch. "Hey, Scarlet." Standing up I notice Remus standing alone. "Uh the guys said something about having to do a prank." He rubs his shoulders shifting foot to foot.

"Lilly said she couldn't come because of studying." All year things like this has been happening. We would plan to hang out then it would end up being just the two of us. Not that I am complaining I love spending time with Remus. But could they be any more obvious? "Ready to go? It snowed last night so I grabbed a heavy blanket to lay down. Maybe we should just have an indoor picnic instead? You know how much I dislike the cold of winter." My nose wrinkles at the thought of how cold it is outside.

"Sure. Yeah that sounds great." A few people walk through the common room going wherever they have planned on this hogsmeade weekend. "Here lets move the couch a bit so we can sit in front of the fireplace." I don't think I helped that much but luckily Remus' strength made up for my lack of.

We sit down and eat at a leisurely pace. Finally I just couldn't have the question left in my mind. "Remus. Why does this keep happening?" Remus' eyes divert away from mine. "I mean if it was one time it would be one thing but this has been happening all year long. Can you just tell me what-" I'm interrupted when Remus gets closer to me. Remus stays just a breath away looking into my eyes before pressing his lips to mine.

Remus pulls away his eyes bashful. "That's why." One of his hands come up and move my hair back then cups my face. "The guys and Lily have been pushing me to tell you about how I feel."

"Why haven't you told me?" I bring up a hand to hold Remus' hand.

"You know why. I don't deserve to be with you. You should be with someone better." I feel a bit annoyed at Remus insulting himself.

"Well, what if its you that I want?" Before he can say anything I crash my lips to his. When we break away both of our breathing is a bit heavier. "Should've done that sooner."

Remus seems to be trying to keep himself from being too happy. "Why would I be the one you want to be with?"

"Because your are smart. *kiss forehead* Kind. *kiss nose* Brave. *kiss right cheek* Loyal. *kiss left cheek* Handsome." At the last of my list I kiss Remus passionately. I hug him closely keeping my lips over his. Feeling Remus responding to the kiss my heart leaps with joy. I barely move my lips from his to be able to tell him. "Never think that you are not the one I'm meant to be with. I feel it and I know you do too."

"I do." I touch my nose to his with a eskimo kiss. Remus laughs and his eyes are as warm as honey. "So I guess I can ask you without being worried about the answer. Will you be my girlfriend?"

I tap my chin and playfully tilt my head. Remus starts to look worried. I kiss Remus as soon as a look of gloom washes over his features. "I would be delighted to be your girlfriend." Loud sounds make us bounce apart. "What the heck was that?" All the sudden Lily, James and Sirius appear. Peter coming out from the shadows.

"Congratulations, little Rose." Lily winks at me playfully. 

Sirius wags his finger at Remus with a serious look on his face. "You better be good to my sister."

"Don't worry I will treat her like the princess she is." I blush and lightly whack Remus on the chest. In turn Remus kisses the tip of my nose. "Oh shush you. You know you are a sweet little princess."

"Don't you bring height into this, Mister." I glare at Remus lightly. When I hear the others laughing I turn my glare to them.

"Remus rein in your girlfriend." James says with a playful edge to his voice. I roll my eyes and Remus pulls me into his chest kissing the top of my head. Closing my eyes I rest back and I can not think of a better feeling.
