Sirius smiled amused when he saw that she blushed because of him. He looked down at her kindly, forgetting all the girls which were still staring at them. He had grown used to it over the years but Doe was either nervous or uncomfortable with that. His glance wandered from her eyes to her lips as she bit on them. He was tempted to kiss her right on the spot but on the second thought it was probably not the best idea. She'd be even more confused after it and she was still a good friend of James. He didn't want to hurt her in any way. "It's fine", he stopped her stuttering gently, a smile still on his face. "Don't be so nervous Doe. I won't bite you if you say something wrong.", he promised her with a wink. 

"That's a relief!", he chuckled. He honestly hadn't thought that she would ask him to change the location. She was a sweet and honest girl but she seemed a bit insecure at times. He laughed again when she asked if it was dangerous, but not mockingly. It was cute how careful she was. "Oh maybe I'll be dangerous. I can't promise anything... but your safety! You'll be safe if you stick with me." He grinned as he noticed that she got closer to him. "Oh yeah, it will be dark, but we won't get caught. I never get caught, my dear." He winked and smiled again. This could be an interesting night. "But let's talk about you. I haven't seen you in a long time. Is everything alright?" He looked at her genuinely interested.  

Doe & Sirius || A Hogsmeade Night

Dorcas’ face grew red when her friend kissed her hand, blushing harder when he complimented her. “You too! Oh, well, not beautiful…” Dorcas spit out, biting her lip. She didn’t know if she was nervous around Sirius or if she was just uncomfortable with all of the eyes staring at her. Crossing her arms over her chest, her eyes followed the direction of where his hand was pointing, beginning to walk toward the portrait. “No, it’s fine!” She responded with a smile, hooking her arm around his. “Oh.. Okay. Is it… Dangerous?” Dorcas instinctively stood closer to the brave Gryffindor. Doe was never as brave as she wanted to be. That only exception is when she is defending her friends. She will go to any length to justify them. “Will it be dark? Are we gonna get caught?” she rambled on. 

Oh look!

I dressed up as Prongs for the Holidays. 

"I would never dare to threaten you, my dear. I know it could backfire terribly." He laughed imagining what Charly could possibly come up with if he began to threaten her. Then he shook grinning his head. "Someone like me? Oh tell me about people like me, darling. Maybe I'll even learn something." He smirked and winked down to Charly. But he actually wondered how she thought of him. Mostly he didn't care about what others had in their minds when they looked at him but he cared for the opinion of some people. Even though he didn't knew if Charly was one of them just yet. He laughed when she pressed her hand on her chest. "Merlin, I don't know! Nobody has ever survived any resentful Black. So don't cross my way, huh?" He leant closer to her, twitched with his eyebrows and winked again. Then he furrowed his brows slightly and grinned. "I would never trick you.", he said honestly but tilted thoughtfully his head right after it. "Well, not until it's necessary ... or funny." He chuckled and cleared his throat. "No, but honestly, I would never do that. It's against my holy purpose to make Flich's life a living hell." But when he saw that she had sill doubts he sighed. he needed a pretty good one to gain her interest... and her trust. "Okay well... lets see", Sirius said out loud. He was pretty sure that nobody knew about the passage to Honeydukes. James had found it per accident when he had been locked up in the basement in his third year. Sirius couldn't believe that anybody else could've found it. "I would tell you about a passage to the basement of Honeydukes.", he said and grinned. The Gryffindor was curious about her reaction. 

"You didn't!", he assured her smiling. "Believe me, it takes an awful lot to offend me." He chuckled and put his hands in his pockets. He noticed that Charly seemed a bit down, maybe because she felt offended and Sirius sighed. He hated when people were sad or just a bit down and he hated even more when he was the reason why. "Well, that makes you an awfully good person, huh?" He grinned and nudged gently against her. Then he laughed and tilted his head from one side to another, breathing in the air between closed teeth. "Well... yeah a little bit." But as he looked down to her, he winked. "It's not too bad though. Moony can be far worse sometimes. Oh and yeah, they clearly deserve that!" As he saw that she crossed her heart he nodded approvingly. "I hope you keep your promises, my little lion girl." He smirked but his eyebrows furrowed worried as she told him about her problems. He was pretty happy about the fact, that he was one of Slughorn's favorite students, even though he had never showed himself at even one of those stupid Slug Parties. It was a complete farce. But he could picture how difficult it must be for someone who wasn't that... lucky. Slughorn could be really unfair at times. He chuckled as she tried to assure him that she would get by somehow. Even without his help. "Listen.", he said and looked at her with a slightly reproving look. "Do you honestly believe that I would offer you my help but secretly I don't want to help you? I know that I don't have to do this, but I want to. I don't like that pretty girls like you get so stressed over things like potions. I'll help you. In class and with the homework. Just sit next to me in class and everything will be fine, ay?" He grinned again. As he looked up he noticed that they had nearly reached the kitchens. He could even smell the food now. With a grin he stepped aside as they reached the portrait fruit bowl and nodded slightly. "After you, Miss Summers!"

Sirius & Charly || Kitchen Chaos

Charly chuckled quietly even though it turned into a genuine laugh the second he twitched his eyebrow, looking down at her. “Are you threatening me, Sirius? You know that I can’t take anyone suffering, least of all someone like you.” She winked at him, actually curious about his reaction. “Oh no! How am I supposed to live through a resentful Mister Black, piquet by what little old me did?” she exclaimed dramatically, clutching her heart before laughing lightly. “It depends to where that way leads. I’m not too interested in ending up in Filch’s office because you were playing a trick on me.” She raised an eyebrow, looking up to him. Truth be told she didn’t really trust the smirk on his lips. “I truly would have to think about it.” 

“Hey, I didn’t mean to offend you.” Charly lifted her hands in a defensive manner. She really hadn’t expected him to react in such ways. “It’s not that you’re planning to play a trick on Slytherins that’s bothering, I don’t like anybody getting hurt. That’s it.” She shrugged at his tone, looking down at her feet. There were so many situations people already got hurt enough. There truly was no need for anybody provoking severe injuries. “Well, no, I didn’t know that. But I mean, if you planned it through …” She shook her head, grinning slightly. “I do sound like a spoil sport, don’t I? But ok, I mean, they probably do deserve a little shock.” Her grin brightened slightly at his laughter. She lifted her hand, drawing a cross over her heart as to show him that she promised to keep it a secret, even though she wasn’t too sure if it meant anything him. “I continued it because last year everything went fine … I’m sure I’ll catch on to it but at the moment I just have big problems concentrating on anything.” She shrugged, trying to keep her expression cheery as she noticed the concern in his eyes. Charly wouldn’t have believed that he would react like this, she had expected him to not care, eventually even laugh at her for having problems with a subject like potions. But truth was that she had big problems concentrating on anything right now, memories were haunting her and until she had sorted that she knew that everything would be less than easy. His offer snapped her out of her thoughts, back into reality. “Are you sure? I mean, you don’t have to, you know? I would truly hate to have you do something because you think you have to. I’ll get by somehow, I really don’t want to steal your time.” Even though Charly wanted to accept his offer so much. She truly needed help but she couldn’t help but think that he only said that because he pitied her and that wasn’t anything she wanted. She didn’t want him to think himself to be responsible to help her just because she told him she had problems.

I'm very sorry that I haven't done anything but I am ill and I'm a little stressed as well! I'm so sorry! I'll try to answer everything this weekend but I can't promise anything. My head feels so fussy... xx Birdy

Oh, are you trying to insult me, Cissy? Cute. 

Don't worry. I do not intend to get in contact with that family again. Your little dirty secret is safe with me. 

Oh, look, isn’t it the traitor?

For your information he has no idea, and I intend it to stay that way.

Sirius chuckled. "You can't enjoy eating too much. It's not possible, my dear.", he teased her and grinned. He honestly liked her way of thinking. There were to many girls who were constantly worried to gain weight. "You don't want to make me suffer, little girl. In any possible way.",he grinned mischievously and twitched his eyebrows. "I can be quite resentful." He let out a sigh of relieve and nodded. "Okay then let us agree on that one, ay? I'll show you a way out of the castle you have never heard of before but you need me to tell me about all the secret passages you know about. I think that is a fair deal, isn't it?", he smirked. He honestly didn't believe that there where any more passages but if their where it was his holy responsibility as a marauder to find it out. 

Believe me or not but I'm perfectly capable of planning thing on my own. The only reason why I prefer to do that with others is the major fun which behind it." Sirius furrowed his eyebrows grinning as she voiced her doubts about his plan. "Since when do you care for Slytherins to get hurt?", he asked a bit peeved and sighed. "You know I'm never planning on something which would but anybody in mortal danger, yeah? I'm not planning to get them hurt either just a bit shocked when suddenly one or two of their windows burst. As far as I know I believe they can handle that pretty quickly. Did you know that in 1789 the Squid decided to move into the Common Room? He simply broke the magical boundaries and managed to break the windows. All of them. And nobody got hurt." He smiled down to her and shrugged. "See? I'm doing my research. Even if we always act like we come up with things like that right on the spot it mostly is planned and thought through pretty well." Then he laughed and put on a serious face. "But let's keep that one as a secret, ay? It is so much more fun this way."  Sirius expression turned to genuinely concern as he listened to her having problems. Why hadn't he noticed it earlier? They were in the same class. "Why did you choose to continue it if you don't understand it?", he asked and shook his head in the same second. "Never mind that. I can help you with that if you want to. Do you have problems with the essay too? I believe Moony won't have something against me lending his one and then we can go though it. I can help you in class as well if you want to." After all Sirius was pretty good at potions and he couldn't let Charly drown in her problems with that subject.

Sirius & Charly || Kitchen Chaos

“I’ll write that down so I remember it.” Charly returned his grin as brightly as she could manage. She didn’t know what made it so easy to mess around with Sirius. She just knew that she didn’t have to check every word she was about to say twice. He wouldn’t rip her head off for saying something that wouldn’t make him smile instantly. He obviously didn’t mind her being a little more-straight forward than she usually was. “No, I’m definitely not. I actually enjoy eating quite much, more than a girl should I suppose.” She chuckled lightly over her own words. She really wasn’t one of those girls who worried about each gram they might gain with eating something. She liked the way she looked and that was everything that really mattered. “Oh, that was a thing I didn’t know. But then I’m glad I’m not the one to make you suffer.” She laughed. “Hm, let me think about it … No, I don’t think so.” She smirked at him, knowing that whatever she could tell him now, he would already know about. Not that this was a problem to her but she liked to keep her little secrets. Just that some of them were bigger than others.

Charly had to force herself not to laugh along with him but keep her pout up. She only allowed the grin to appear on her face when she heard his sigh and saw him giving in to her pleading. “Oh, you’re planning something on your own? Quite courageous, Mister Black.” Even though her grin faltered slightly when she heard the rest of his plan, she tried not to show it too much. Sure, she didn’t mind anyone causing some havoc around the castle but what he was planning didn’t sound too much like a joke to her. “Don’t you think that’s a little too harsh? Someone could get severely hurt.” She didn’t care if he would laugh at her and call her boring now, she just worried about such things. Even when it involved Slytherins who did their best to make her life hell. She didn’t wish for anyone to get hurt. “Yes, quite a lot at the moment actually.” She nodded slowly. Charly had never been good at potions but now she truly didn’t get anything anymore. “Well, he’s not really fond of me, is he?” She chuckled. Slughorn had mastered it to completely ignore her throughout all the years she was in his class now. “I just don’t understand anything at the moment anymore.”

"I would never take joy to see a lady in any kind of misery as long as I'm there to help her.", Sirius purred with an amused look in his eyes. He eyed Anabelle from the side and chuckled. "You're quite right on that one. Let's just say I'll bring you to beloved chocolate." He always liked to surprise girls. 

Sirius listened carefully to her story and furrowed his eyebrows worried while they were walking down the dark tunnel. She seemed to go though an honestly rough time. He actually opened his mouth to ask her why Death Eaters had killed her mother but then he saw the grief on her face and closed his lips again. He didn't want to upset her more. "I wouldn't say it was excitingly interesting but it explain why you don't want to be here in the first place, doesn't it?", he answered quietly. "I know what it feels to be caged in a place you don't want to be but Hogwarts isn't a place to be trapped in. It had always been a place to break free." He looked at her again, wondering if she would ever feel the way he did about Hogwarts. It was not only his school but the first place where he had felt at home and wanted. 

Anabelle & Sirius || Honeydukes for the privileged Ones

“You actually find pleasure in seeing a damstel in distress, don’t you?” she smiled, looking ahead in the tunnel. “Where does this tunnel lead to? Or are you going to keep this piece of information as a suprise?” she asked curiously she wanted to know their destination. “Can you at least give me a hint?” she smiled, pulling a strand of hair behind her ears.

 She turned her head towards him, looking at him for a few seconds.She debated on whether to tell him or not. It was never pleasant for her describing how she ended up in England. Sighing, she opened her mouth to speak. “You won’t let me keep the mystery girl card,will you?My mother died in the summer. The police said that they must have tried to rob her but no wallet or money was missing. It does not take a genius to realise that a Death Eater killed her. My father one bright morning without any previous warning announced that we were moving out,that he had sold the cottage we lived in, transferred all his money in Gringotts and that we would live in his hometown in London. So here I am” Grief was written on her face but after a little while she covered it with a smile. “So that’s my story, I hope it was interesting enough”.

ooc:

So, since Katie has already said that she isn't home this weekend I guess it's my turn now.

I'm on some kind of seminar-thingy-weekend for pupils who want to study next year and I doubt that I will have time to go online while I'm there.

I think you'll hear from me Monday evening! :)

I hope all of you have a great weekend! 

xx Birdy

Sirius chuckled amused as he saw Anabelle stepping into the slide and grinned as he heard her surprised scream. With a swift move he stepped right after her and ended up next to her in the tunnel which led to the cellar of the Honeydukes. "I could... but where would be the fun in that?", he grinned and tried to get rid of the dust which had set in his cloths. "Now, my dear little french girl, we must walk!" He pointed right into the dark where the tunnel begin. "I'm afraid I can't shorten the distance between the castle and Hogsmeade. So we need to walk all the way down, but trust me: In the end it will be worth it!", he smirked, pulled out his wand and drew it. A bright light ball appeared on the tip of it and with a short shake it broke away, floated above their heads and stayed there, so the tunnel was lit in a nice light. Sirius started to walk down the tunnel, looking at Anabelle curiously from the side. "So, you've just moved to England because you're father wanted to? What's the story behind that?"

Anabelle & Sirius || Honeydukes for the privileged Ones

She watched as the statue moved and it revealed a black tunnel behind it. She had not even imagined that there were secret passages in the castle, not known to students at least. She took his hand and raised her eyebrows when he talked about the slides. She had just walked a few steps when she turned around “What do you mean? There are not any slides are-” her words were cut off when she felt herself sliding down. She screamed,surprised. When she landed on her feet, she could not help but start laughing.She smacked his shoulder playfully.”You could have warned me better about it.That was fun,now what?”she asked, taking a chance to look around. It was a little dark, it seemed like they were in a cellar or something similar.

Sirius looked up as he felt someone tapping on his shoulder and saw Dorcas standing behind him, waving and smiling. He got up quickly and walked around the couch to take her hand and kiss it gently. "Hello Doe. You look ... honestly beautiful.", he said with a smile. He noticed that she seemed to feel a bit uncomfortable and quickly looked around. Some of the girls who sat around, doing homework and other things, looked away immediately, but a few of them were still glaring at Doe. Sirius narrowed annoyed his eyes for a second and shook his head mentally. But then his attention turned back to Doe. "I am if you are." The Gryffindor pointed with a open hand to the portrait and held the other hand behind her back without touching her though. "I hope you are fine to have dinner in the Three Broomsticks. If you don't want to eat there, I'm sure we could find another restaurant which you would prefer more." He guided her out of the common room and offered her his arm as they stood in the corridor. "By the way, we need to take ... another way down to the village since were actually not allowed to go there that late." Sirius winked mischievously at her and smiled. 

Doe & Sirius || A Hogsmeade Night

Dorcas sat finishing that last of her homework. She was constantly checking the time, waiting until it was exactly seven. Doe didn’t want to show up early, if she did it would look like she was trying too hard. She also might come across as overly excited, something others didn’t like about her. At 6:58, Doe couldn’t take it anymore. She closed her books and picked up her bag. Before leaving, she checked the mirror, combing through the ends of her hair with her fingers. With a smile, she made her way to the common room to meet Sirius. 

Doe swung her bag by the handle and skipped a bit while she was walking. She was looking forward to spending some time with one of her friends. It was always nice for her to know that there was one more person to rely on if things got difficult for her. Once she reached the common room she looked for Sirius. It wasn’t hard to find him, Doe just had to follow the gaze of every girl in the room. She walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder until he turned around. “Hi!” she said, waving enthusiastically. Dorcas looked around at the others in the room and saw them glaring at her, causing her smile to falter. “Are you ready to go?” She rocked on her heels and waited for his response, still wondering why she was receiving so many disgusted looks. 

Sirius chuckled. "Oh yeah, you should! Me, spending quality time with you it always something you should feel honoured about." He winked down to her and grinned. Somehow it was easy to mess around with Charly. She was an easy going girl and she wasn't afraid of saying what was on her mind. It was always a joy to talk to her and Sirius thought of her as a good friend. the Gryffindor chuckled again and shook his head slightly. "Well, luckily you're not one of that girls. I don't know if you knew but eating is one of my favourite things to do, so it would be quite annoying to sit in the kitchens without eating anything!" There were only a few things which tortured him and sitting in the kitchens with a girl who didn't ate properly was one of them. Since Sirius never ate if the lady didn't, he was forced to bear the scent of food which always floated around. "Oh, well that is very interesting, my dear. Would you like to tell me one or two of them?" Sirius was pretty sure that his friends and him knew all of the secret passages in and out of the castle, but it would be fun to tease Charly a bit. He knew that she wouldn't tell him her secrets right away.

Sirius laughed genuinely at her pouty face. "Oh, don't pull that face on me, Charly! You know I can't resist...", but then he sighed and nodded. "Well, there is one thing I'm planning. But I think the guys will hob on board. Let's just say: Soon, there will be no need for the Slytherins to look inside the lake any more since they will be the lake. But only if a certain explosion spell will work out fine. I'm still on it." He twitched his eyebrows mischievously and laughed again. "But that's out little secret, yeah?" The Gryffindor furrowed his eyebrows and looked down to her questioningly. "You have problems with potions?" He was actually surprised. Not because he didn't believe it, there were quite a few students who had problems in that class, but because he hadn't noticed it earlier. Usually he knew when the girls in his house had problems. "Why? Are there problems with Slughorn?" Sirius knew that Prof. Slughorn was that kind of teacher who only cared about the ones he had some kind of interest in. 

Sirius & Charly || Kitchen Chaos

Charly grinned at him and shook her head slightly. “Well then I think I’m supposed to feel honoured, don’t I?” She asked still grinning brightly. She didn’t really know what it was about him but it was quite hard not to smile in his presence. Even though she didn’t really have a problem with smiling constantly, she wasn’t known as the smiley one for no reason, but it was quite a nice change to see someone other than her trying to make others smile as well. “That’s only because those girls are scared to get too close to food because they think that even looking at it will make them fat.” She chuckled lightly. “Hm, no. I daresay that I myself know quite a few as well.” 

“I’m glad to hear that. Not so much the ladies part but really, I’m glad you’re doing fine.” Charly meant her words. From everything she had heard had been going on in Sirius’ life in the past she thought that he really deserved being happy. It wasn’t really something nice having to live together with people you knew hated you but at least he seemed to have gotten away from that place. “What have you been up to? I’m quite sure you have been plotting something, haven’t you? Come on, let me in on the new big plan. Please?” She looked up to him, smiling almost pleadingly. Her curiousity was a terrible thing actually but she knew from earlier experience that Sirius wouldn’t mind it. “Oh … uhm … I’m fine.” Charly brought herself to smiling even brighter than before even though she caught herself pulling at the hem of her sleeves once again. She stopped that the same second. There was no need to let him suspect that something was wrong. “Nothing to complain about except maybe potions. The year has barely begun and I don’t understand a thing.” 

"I'm always ready, beautiful.", he grinned and stepped closer to the stature. "And our adventure begins right... here." With a twitch of his eyebrows he swung his wand and thought "Dissendium". As much as he liked to take girls to the cellar of Honeydukes, he also liked to be the only one who knew the password of the secret passage. Well, besides Prongs, Moony and Wormtail of course. Prongs had found that passage in their third year and since that day there was no need for them to ever buy candy again. The hump of the witches stature opened and revealed a black hole to the inside of the tunnel. He stepped back and smiled to Anabelle. "Mais je vous en prie, après vous! I hope you like slides." He offered her a hand to help her getting inside and grinned mischievously. 

Anabelle & Sirius || Honeydukes for the privileged Ones

Anabelle looked at her clock, getting ready for her adventure with the boy she had just met. She wore her favourite pair of jeans and a white t-shirt with a cream jacket on top. When she put the last piece of makeup on her face, she smiled, walking out of the dormitory through the portrait hole. She walked towards where they were supposed to meet. She did not know what made her say yes to that offer, she never used to break rules in her previous school. It was not like she was a bookworm, she just never found a reason important enough for her to break the rules. She put one hand to the railing as the stairs changed direction, she was still trying to get used to that. She reached her destination and looked around. The boy was nowhere to be found, something logical regarding that she had arrived almost ten minutes earlier.

She was waiting patiently when she saw him walking towards her. She laughed when he bowed down and kissed her cheeks.”Vous ete pardonee,monsieur. There is no need to worry, you were not late.” she smiled warmly. She waited for him to start walking so she could follow him. “So are you ready for us to start this big adventure?”

Voted by whom? Let me guess: You and ah- yourself. You might be a gentleman as well but you can't degrade me to a manwhore. Just so you know: Until now, none of the girls has ever complained. If that doesn't show how much of a gentleman I am, I truly doubt your judgment.

Such a hypocrite.

Oi, I resent that. I’m a complete gentleman, and I’m not a hypocrite. You, my friend, were voted the manwhore of the Marauders. That, my dear Padfoot, is what girls get from you.

Remus & Sirius || Dear friend, you know me quite well.

When Sirius had finally turned eleven, everything he'd thought about was leaving that hell hole of a house and a family he'd never loved. His childhood hadn't been the greatest. The established education of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black had forced him to learn Spanish and French almost as fast as his own mother tongue. He had learnt how to dance before he could even walk properly, let alone fencing and the perfect manner at table. The first time he had held a wand in his hand had been the same day on which he's learnt how to duel. He could play the piano and violin perfectly, knew how to draw and he could recite the most famous poems of the most famous wizards in the history. And Merlin beware if he did something wrong. The "unforgivable" torture curse was a common disciplinary measure the House of Black. 

All of this had been his own, dark secret in his first years of Hogwarts. He didn't even tell his closest friends what actually happened behind closed doors. Sirius had told James, Remus and Peter a few details over the years but never the whole story. But that had all changed at the end of their fifth year, after Sirius had done the biggest mistake he could think of. In a childish wrangle with Severus Snape, Sirius had told the Slytherin the best kept secrets he had with his friend. The fact that he'd betrayed Remus like none of the others had ever done, the fact that he'd told Snape where he could find the werewolf which was his best friend... Sirius could never forgive himself this foolery. But even though he had hid himself for almost two days, because he didn't wanted to see the disappointment and maybe even disgust in his friends eyes, they didn't let him down. And that was the point where Sirius had told them everything. He had told them about his family, about his fears to be just like them and how sorry he truly was because of his mistake.

Now, almost one and a half years after that, his friendship with Remus, Peter and James had never been greater. The fact that he didn't need to keep secrets anymore made Sirius not weaker, as he had always thought, but even stronger. He had packed his bags right after his fifth year and lived with the Potters since that day. And even though, Sirius felt guilty for leaving his little brother behind, he had never been happier.

It was a rainy Saturday eve and Sirius lay lazy on the couch right in front of the chimney fire. He had talked to Remus a few hours ago, asking him if he would want to go to the Hogshead or do whatever. Honestly, Sirius was pretty bored. Prongs had managed to get his arse into the Hospital wing again and Wormtail was nowhere to be found. So, doing something with Moony would be a nice thing to do. As the portrait swung open had he finally saw the figure of his best friend walking in, Sirius grinned and swung his legs from the couch and went over to him. "Oh, there you are, mate! I almost thought that you fell down the staircase or did something else to get your arse in the Hospital Wing as well." He grinned and bounced lightly up and down. "So... You wanna go?"

Anabelle & Sirius || Honeydukes for the privileged Ones

Sirius ran down the stairs, jumping over the tricksteps unconsciously and ended up behind a curtain in the third floor. He took a few, deep breaths to calm himself again and stepped out of the secret passage which connected the seventh floor with the first three. He could curse himself for being too late for his meeting with Anabelle, but Wormtail had held him up with a new spell he's apparently found in a book. It allowed the person on which it was used to move without even making a noise. Sirius had been really fond of the idea and had offered himself as the one who they could cast the spell on. It had turned out quiet well... until they'd noticed that Sirius voice was gone as well. It had took Wormtail ten minutes to find the spell to end this horror. Sirius shook his head as he hurried through the corridor. The spell itself was pretty good though. They should give it to Moony, maybe he could rewrite it.

As he finally saw the statue of Gunhilda of Gorsemoor he slowed down again, checking his clock. He was still on time. As he saw the bight blonde hair of Anabelle he grinned and stopped right in front of her. In good, old french manner he bowed down to her and gave her two kisses on each cheek. "Je vous demande pardon, mademoiselle. There was a little accident with one of my friends. I came as fast as I could. I hope you did not wait for too long." 

"I'm always busy, Miss Summers, but that doesn't keep me from being in time when I meet beautiful girls." A smirk appeared on Sirius' lips and he laughed. "No, I didn't. At least all the Hufflepuffs know where the kitchens are. But you'd be surprised how less girls actually haven't even the slightest idea." He climbed through the portrait hole as well and grinned. "So I guess we're not the only ones who know a few secret passages out of here, huh?"

"Me? Quite fine actually." Sirius put his hand in his pockets and smiled. "There's nothing to complain at the moment. My grades are as brilliant as usual, my friends keep me company and the ladies are as nice as ever." He winked to Charly and laughed. "But how are you doing? You're right, we haven't seen each other in a long time now. Is everything all right?" He was genuinely interested and even though he knew he had no right to be that curious he only wanted to check if she was okay.

Sirius & Charly || Kitchen Chaos

“Oh, I do believe I know you quite well, Mister Black. I just thought that maybe you might have been busy again.” Charly grinned at him to make him see that she wasn’t meaning her words. She had to admit though that it did quite surprise her that he had actually turned up here too early and not too late. Usually people let her wait longer. This was a nice change though. “Of course I do know where they are.
