The Pureblood Princess | Sirius Black

|90| Surprise

"Lily.... can you explain those muggle mover thingies again?" said Adelaide Friday morning whilst she tried to apply some mascara between her yawns.

The auburn witch, looked at Adelaide in confusion, toothbrush pausing for a moment as she tried to decipher what her pureblood friend was trying to ask. Adelaide inquiring upon muggle culture was a normal occurrence at this point, but she was still having some trouble with the terminology. "Mover thingies?" Lily repeated.

"Yeah... the photo things that move around without magic." Adelaide explained, as if this should have been obvious.

"Oh! You mean the movies!" Lily exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's what I said."

"Right... um well they tell stories... it's sort of like a play... but the actors aren't in person." Lily said.

Adelaide paused deep in thought. "But they don't know that we're watching them, right?"

Lily chuckled. "No. They don't know."

Adelaide seemed quite relieved by this fact. "And what's your favorite mover story?"

"Oh um... My favorite movie is Bambi—"

"Oh Addy!" Marlene sang with a wide smirk from the bathroom door. "Look what I found! I do believe it's another one of your love notes!" she said, waving around a small lavender piece of parchment teasingly.

"Give it!" The mascara fell with a light clacking on the vanity as Adelaide clambered into the dorm room, ungracefully chasing after her, climbing on top of the honey blonde's bed, attempting to snatch the little note out of her hand. "And it's not a love note!"

Lily laughed very loudly at this comment. It was most certainly a love note.

"Shut it, Lily!" the platinum blonde said fiercely. "Please just give it back!"

"No! Please read it!" Mary grinned, not even caring about the dirty look Adelaide was giving her. "The last one was pure gold!"

The whole week leading up to their big secret Valentines date at Hogsmeade that Saturday, Sirius surprised Adelaide by sticking little sweet notes in the dorm room for her to find... without the slightest idea of the amusement it brought to her dorm mates when they accidentally stumbled upon them. It was now Friday, and the girls were actively searching to find them before Adelaide. Marlene and Mary did so mostly because it annoyed Adelaide (which they found very entertaining). Lily, however, only took part in hopes that Adelaide would finally come to her senses and tell the poor lovesick boy how she felt about him.

Marlene stepped up onto her desk, far out of Adelaide's reach, and cleared her throat importantly. "Hem hem... 'Addykins, You are—"

"—STOP IT MARLS!" Adelaide roared, face red in embarrassment and frustration. She actually quite enjoyed Sirius's sweet notes until the girls decided to tease her about it.

Marlene shot Adelaide a nasty look for interrupting her. "No! 'Addykins, You are the most beautiful baboon in all the land—'" Marlene stopped abruptly to look at Adelaide. "What kind of shitty complement is that?"

"It's an inside joke!" Adelaide growled. "Please, just give it back!"

"No! I want to know where he was going with that!" Mary grinned. "Keep going!"

Marlene smirked. "Lily, should I continue?"

Lily shrugged, smiling.

"That's a yes." Marlene decided. "Alright, now where was I..."

"The baboon!" Mary cheered.

"Ah, yes, yes of course! 'You are the most beautiful baboon in all the land! I don't know what I ever did to deserve to be friends with someone as wonderful and lovely as you, much less to be given the honor of being your boyfriend—'"
