Five Times Sirius Wanted Dance with Remus and the One Time He Did Coincidently, it all happened in the same night at the Hogwarts Spring Formal. Sirius blames most of it on James, however the first time was probably Sirius’s fault. One It was a Thursday night- a weird night to have a Spring Formal, but that’s the way things went at Hogwarts. Sirius felt that he looked quite fit in his dress robes- he was told that they brought out his eyes. Though what was in his eyes that needed to be brought out he wasn’t sure. Anyway, not even ten minutes into the Spring Formal, and Sirius was already bored. James was trying to worm a dance out of Lily, and Peter was off dancing with his girlfriend, Lucy Sanders. Remus was still up in their dorm because …show more content…
Sirius just rolled his eyes, but he felt excited nonetheless. He had a chance. I wish I could be the one dancing with Remus instead of Lily, Sirius thought. “Same,” said James, and Sirius blinked. He must have said that last part out loud. “Then,” James continued, “Lily would be dancing with me.” Five “Padfoot!” James exclaimed, his hand covering his nose. “What?” Sirius asked, seriously annoyed. Remus and Lily were done dancing, and Sirius was just about to go and ask Remus to dance. “I have a bloody nose,” James explained, pulling his hand away from his nose for a brief moment so that Sirius could see the blood gushing from his nose. Sirius sighed. “Let’s go find Madame Pomfrey.” By the time they found her and she fixed James’s bloody nose the dance was almost over. In fact, most everyone was gone. Sirius sighed. He seemed to be doing that a lot tonight, but he had a reason to. The had lasted a good three hours and he still hadn’t danced with Remus. He sighed again and wandered over to the punch bowl, leaving James to go and try to woo Lily. The punch wasn’t spiked. Bother. …show more content…
They continued dancing even after the song ended, Sirius not ready to let go of Remus. Everything felt so right. “Sirius,” Remus muttered. “Sirius… I…” “Remus…” Sirius murmured, his heart in his throat. “Why did you want to dance with me?” “I… I… Remus… I feel like you already know…” “I do,” Remus confirmed, “I’d just like to hear you say it.” “Remus…” Sirius leaned his forehead against Remus’s and closed his eyes. “Remus, I’m in love with you.” Remus jerked back. “What?” Sirius opened his eyes. He felt terrified. “You said you knew!” “I knew that your feelings for me weren’t as platonic as they should be! I knew that you were attracted to me! I didn’t know you were in love with me!” “Oh. Oh Remus I’m so sorry,” Sirius apologized. “I’ll just… I’ll just go. Goodnight Remus.” “No!” Remus almost shouted, “No. I was just… surprised. Sirius, please don’t go, and please don’t apologize for your feelings. Especially when they’re returned.” “They are?” Sirius was flabbergasted. “Yes.” “Oh. That’s nice.” Sirius felt faint. “You alright?” “Yeah. Just. So many emotions just ran through me right there in those past few
“Ok, well you know how the dance is coming up? I was…...ummm wondering if you would like to go with me?”
"I . . . love you, too." The difficulty of saying those words overwhelmed me. I had always seen myself as someone with solid, untouchable emotions. At that moment, though, I was in a fragile, quivering state; and I could not believe I had conjured such a false image of myself.
The night was coming to an end; parents were slowly showing up to collect their kids. The DJ announced it was the last song of the night. It was our theme song. Jaimie and I swayed together on the dance floor belting out the words we knew by heart when we heard what sounded like
I stopped mid-step and millions of thoughts rushed through my head. What was she going to say to me? Was she going to yell at me for not being able to do the turn? Was she going to take me out of the dance? I had never been so nervous at dance before and I felt a sense of uneasiness come over my whole body as I walked towards her.
“What are you doing here,” I asked softly. As she proceeded to answer, Brandy cuts around the corner and said,
Abigail: No, he’ll be comin’ up. Listen, now; if they be questioning us, tell them we danced-- I told him as much already.
Albus pulled at his beard. “I dislike how he showed, but happy he did. I also remember a similar occurrence birthing a great Auror twenty years ago; let’s hope like father, like son. So, what did Ronald Weasley say for himself?”
“Huh?” Pearl blinked, seemingly at a loss of words, curious yet terrified of what Rose’s words to follow such an ambiguous statement will be.
Sirius, being who he was, followed this up with Remus’ father, who resented the accusations. Sirius let him get away with it this time, if only because he did send some of his old Rolling Stones records for his last birthday. Records which you’d think Remus would know the lyrics to given their previous possessor, but alas, the second time of hearing him say, “I can’t get no girly action.” instead of “I can’t get no girl reaction.” proved him wrong. This was also followed by a laughing James and Peter, and an indignant Sirius.
“You know,” said Marlene, “I bet you and Sirius could be top of our class if you actually put in a bit of effort.”
“I don’t understand how you two can take this so lightly” Rosin said a little miffed.
Maddie figured it was just a matter of time before Antonio accidentally showed up to her next gig. She didn’t know why she was opposed to him hearing her sing, but until she knew for sure, things were good the way they were.
“How could he, does he even know who Draco Malfoy is?” Ron asked, pacing back and forth.
“Potter, you really are the Saviour!” Draco squealed. He stood up and brushed the imaginary dust off his clothes. After helping Potter up, he selected a couple books on Uranus and set off to start his essay.
He looked at his watch and then pulled his sleeve back down with a tug. "Something clever I 'm sure. They should be starting soon." He spun the short glass of bourbon between his fingers. Patrons swayed to soft languid piano music, everyone nestled with someone. Couples were leaving the bar to have their dance on the floor, he thought of asking Marion. She hated to dance but would be over the moon at the invitation, and would dance just to spite him. He smiled at the thought.
