Good Girls

Bonus chapter: Day 08

A/N: This is the fake date mentioned in the prologue. Enjoy!

Oh shite, Remus thought as he woke up, bleary eyed. Today was the date of fakeness with Marlene. Remus knew that Sirius was annoyed about this whole fiasco but he had to go because no one knew about their relationship. It's not that James or Peter wouldn't be OK with it. They had touched upon the subject as they chatted into the night before one of the stuck- up prefects told them to sod off and go to sleep. It's just that Sirius knew the news would get around to Slytherin and the Black family would not be pleased with Sirius.
So, Remus Lupin dragged his sorry bum out of bed and into the shower in the wee hours of the morning to prepare for his impending doom, or so he thought, as Marlene had told him next to nothing when they met in the library, yesterday. He turned scenarios over and over in his head as he stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist.
"Morning, Reme," Sirius croaked, his usual smooth tone gone due to disuse over the night. Remus grinned brightly and pushed his sopping wet hair out of his gold eyes.
"Good morning, Sirius," he replied, "I have to get through this thing with Marlene and then we can go get some butter beer, yeah?"
"Hey, hey!" Sirius joked,"don't try to bromance your way out of this one, bro." He stepped forward and pushed Remus playfully.
"Don't bro me, Siriu-," Remus began only to be cut off by James who waddled quickly into the bathroom with a pained look on his face.
"James, wha-?" Sirius tried to say.
"I REALLY HAVE TO PEE!" James screamed as he barrelled past Remus and Sirius. Thankfully, he didn't notice how close they were standing and Sirius's hand on Remus's bare chest. James may have been a sneaky spy. But his sneaky spying didn't apply when it came to urgent bathroom visits. After he dashed into one of the cubicles, Remus led the way out of the bathroom once he deemed himself sufficiently dry.
"You," Sirius whispered as he walked out behind Remus into the dormitory,
"need to stop flirting with me." Sirius smirked while Remus wiggled into his jeans.
"I need to stop flirting with you?!" Remus repeated in disbelief as he pulled a grey sweater over his head.
"Who's flirting with who?" James asked, stepping out of the bathroom, his bladder emptied.
"Oh, just teaching lover boy, here, some of my smooth moves to pull on Marlene," Sirius covered, but not before shooting Remus a look that said, take it away, genius boy, you're the smart one here.
"I should go, Marlene told me to meet her early at the gates so we could go together," Remus said quickly and moved towards the door.
"Going early so you can be alooooone?" James sang after Remus but he shut the door before James could add anymore of his enlightening comments to the discussion.
...
Down at Hogsmeade, Marlene and Remus walked down the street, hand in uncomfortable hand. Marlene knew that Remus didn't want to be here as much as her but she was too proud to take anymore teasing from a certain cheesehead named James Potter.
"You know what?" Marlene asked Remus.
"Hmm?"
"Neither of us are having fun so do you just want to call it a day?"
"Sure, I'm sorry," Remus replied politely, "I didn't mean to be a bore, sorry I'm just preoccupied." He stumbled over his words.
"Hey, it's alright," Marlene consoled. "I'm going to go try and find a friend," she added, "do you want me to stay with you until one of your lads show up?"
"No, that's OK, I'm actually looking for someone as well," Remus told her vaguely. She didn't have to know that the particular person he was looking for had long black hair, silver eyes, and a lopsided grin that made him weak at the knees.
"Alright, then, thanks for coming with me. I needed to shut James up," Marlene smiled as she walked away.
"My pleasure, and we've all been there," Remus smiled as he waved to her and she walked away in the other direction looking for the same black haired, silver eyed heartbreaker as he was.
...
As soon as Marlene was out of sight, Remus turned on his heel and walked briskly toward Sirius's usual haunt; the alley behind Zonko's. The Marauders knew the owners but Mr. Zonko had taken a liking to Sirius and Remus and had been quick to pick up on their relationship.
Remus; hood pulled over his head, hands in his pockets, and old Converse scraping the ground, turned at the sharp corner and entered the alley behind the brightly coloured shop.
Sirius stood leaning against the wall of the alley, cigarette in hand, his silver eyes roaming over the faded graffiti on the wall of the Joke Shop.
"Hey," Remus said, after spending a few minutes admiring Sirius's high cheekbones and strong jaw.
"Hey, yourself," Sirius smiled as he pushed himself off the wall to greet Remus and stepped on his cigarette, "how was your date?" He asked.
"It was alright, we went to some boutique places because Marley needed shoes for her brother's wedding an-," Remus was cut off by the taste of smoke on his lips. Sirius pushed Remus back by his hips. Remus responded with equal enthusiasm, hands roaming to Sirius's black hair.
"Hey Siriu- holy shite! What the fu-," Remus heard causing him to turn his head too fast, making Sirius bump his lip on Remus's jaw, hard. Sirius yelped. "Ow, Reme, I think you broke my face," he whined as he turned around and caught sight of another person in the alley, "oh shite."
...
Marlene hurried quickly through the streets of Hogsmead in search of Sirius Black. She turned into the Main Street, the shopping bag swinging in her hand.
Earlier that morning she had spoken to Lily, her closest friend, about a certain boy by the name of Sirius Black and feelings. In the end, Lily agreed that she should ask Sirius out. Maybe go see a movie or something over break. If he was allowed to go to the Muggle World.
She quickly scanned the streets as she walked down them for any sign of Sirius or one of his lads. Seeing not even one Marauder on the streets, Marlene decided to ask her accomplice, Kevin Creevey.
"Hey, Kevin," Marlene called down the street. The underclassman smiled.
"Hey, Marlene!" He said as she approached her, "can I help you?"
"Yeah, have you seen Black anywhere?" She asked impatiently.
"Sure, I saw him going to the alley behind Zonko's when he got here," Kevin directed.
"Is he the only one back there?" Marlene wanted to know.
"Mhmm," Kevin nodded. Marlene breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks, Kev. I owe you one," Marlene shot him a smile as she dashed off the the specified location.
Getting closer to her destination, she ran a hand through her pale hair and took a breath. Here goes nothing.
Marlene entered the alley, "Hey, Siriu-," only to see him in a lip lock with the very Remus Lupin she bade farewell to a few minutes ago, "holy shite," she shouted in surprise, "what the fu-?"
And that was the last thing she said before a red spell came speeding towards her and she passed out.
...

"Ugh, OK, fine, just stop looking at me like that," Remus cringed just as Marlene began to come to.
"What on earth is going on?" she mumbled groggily.
"Unh, what do you remember, exactly?" Sirius asked cautiously.
"Well..." Marlene started, "you two and them one of you nuggets stunned me." She huffed angrily.
"Wait," Remus spoke carefully," so you're OK with all this?" He asked motioning to himself and Sirius.
"Oh, yeah, that's cool, but..." She trailed off. Remus groaned knowing that there was a catch. "I want the flash drive back."
"Deal!" Sirius all but shouted.
"Yeah, deal," Remus agreed, mostly because he had not had a chance to keep up on his end of the previous agreement and show Sirius the clip. So without further argument, Remus dropped the flash drive into Marlene's open palm.
As Marlene turned to walk away she heard:
"You have fantastic rapping skills, Reme!"
"NO! YOU SAW IT!"
"Ohhhh, yeah. You've been holding out on us. We better get tickets to your next concert."
"HNNNNARRGGG!!"
Marlene grinned widely and shouted over her shoulder, "Have fun, lovebirds!"
