The stands cleared out for the next match: Ravenclaw versus Hufflepuff. Remus had promised Harriet he would wait back and watch her play. She was a Keeper for the Hufflepuff team. I still didn't know why they were friends especially because Remus was incredibly awkward around her. But of course I wasn't going to leave him in agony alone -no matter how bored I would be- because I am an amazing friend. I thought Sirius would stay too considering Amelia played Chaser but I wasn't going to question his actions.
Sure he's been a little distant, but it really wasn't my place to talk to him. Thankfully, James got him to open up somehow, not that it matters since he won't tell us -or more importantly me- what the problem was. I mean sure, there was that whole thing about best friend confidentiality and whatever and Sirius was back to his normal reckless and just plain stupid behaviour so I didn't really need to know, but that wasn't the point. The point was that I wanted to know.
But of course I valued Sirius' secret more than my own obsessive need to know everything so I was just going to have to wait a few more days until James inevitably told Remus and then he inevitably told me. I knew absolutely everything there was to know about everyone and it was going to stay that way.
The game had already started and it was incredibly awkward for us so we just sat there quietly, Remus cheered and pretended to be happy for Harriet; a lot of people thought they were still dating. Which, if I'm being honest, I hated.
Let me mentally break this down for you all. I was popular; way too popular for anyone at this school to comprehend. And before everyone thought Remus and the honey badger were a thing, everyone thought Remus and I were an item. And I friggin' loved it. The biggest upside to the close friendship was that no one would hit on me, which happened way too often that I cared to admit. The horny straights who stalked the hallways with their constant whistles and cat calls were the true bane of my existence; it drove me mad! Now, everyone could probably assume that all the attention was rather flattering. And it was...for about half a year. Then, it just got repetitively irritating for the remainder of fifth and sixth year which was the most irkful of pet peeves I had ever come upon. It made my life a living hell.
Until the rumours about Remus and her -I have no idea why the rumours didn't start earlier considering Remus and I had been best friends since like forever, I mean it would have saved me a lot of trouble- which made them stop. Remus is the farthest from a generally violent or brash person, but somehow his deterrent energy was successful. Maybe it was the fact that he had thousands upon thousands of scars that littered his body, his sort of awkward relationship with everyone with any kind of power at Hogwarts, or his close-ish relationship with James, who you do not want to cross! Actually, in hindsight, it is really weird how people didn't hit on me when they indirectly didn't want to get in James' bad books but no one had a problem with doing it when it was blatantly obvious he has had an ongoing and everlasting crush on me.
Their incessant stupidity and ignorance was exhausting.
Returning to the game that I was paying absolutely no attention to, Ravenclaw was losing. Badly. Really badly. But being here, I am kind of glad I came since I got to see Amelia wearing something other than a furry pink corset with matching heels or clad in some other hot pink crap. She wasn't playing yet -just sitting uselessly on a bench- but everyone knew her patriotism for the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team. I couldn't even imagine the shit Sirius had landed himself into by not showing up. Like hot damn.
Hufflepuff had come close to catching the fucking Snitch like twenty times! Like why couldn't they just grab it and get this nightmare over with!
I mean, it didn't even matter! At this point, no matter who fucking caught the Snitch, Hufflepuff would win, so what was the point of even going on. I mean just end it! The sport itself could be deemed kind of useless, but the unnecessary rule that it only ended after someone caught the Snitch was just plain stupid. Idiocy.
An hour long nap and a series of cold stares for my obnoxiously loud snores later the match had ended. I stood up, ready to get the hell out of there, and began collecting my stuff. Remus followed suit. He was just as fed up as I was, but Harriet sure looked happy and was being all cute and adorable by waving and some other crap - I guess Remus didn't sleep like I did. But I didn't wait for the team to do their victory laps, two Quidditch matches were enough for this lifetime.
SO I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF HERE!
I grabbed Remus by the arm and dragged him out of the cheering stands and towards the base of the Grounds. But before we turned the corner, a certain scene was about to go down, and I was not about to miss what looked like was going to be the most interesting thing I saw all day.
"How could you miss it!" We hid behind the large staircase and observed as the pink pantheress brought the castle down with her booming and ever so shrill tone. Her clear channeled voice was pointed directly at it's prey: an bored Sirius Black who was too obsessed with fake-checking his nails to care. "You know how many times I reminded you! I happily stood for your TERRIBLY BORING Quidditch game and you didn't see me complain!" Sirius was seemingly unfazed and unbothered by the entire ordeal. Honestly, I didn't expect anything less.
"Yeah yeah. Listen, I got to get back so I was wondering if you could hurry this along so you can break up with me and I can leave." Amelia was taken aback with the composed speech and the content it held. It was very straightforward but it seemed to do the trick. Therefore, with two last 'chick slaps' -I believe they were called- Amelia rattled off into the castle with an angry stride, those in her path cowering in fear of the 'Evil Queen'. "Oh hey guys!" Sirius spotted us and returned to his chirpy self. "Wanna go back together?"
"Yes please, I need some alcohol after that strenuous and tiresome experience!"
"You slept for two hours." Sirius giggled at the idea and we all walked back to the Common Room.
