Sirius' figure lay on the yellowing tall grass, watching clouds slowly roll past the pale blue sky. The slight fragrance of dried flowers drifted along a breeze.
The silence of boredom filled his ears, but he was too lazy to bring himself to do something.
"Ahh," he muttered to himself, "I wonder where Moony and Prongs and Wormtail are."
He hadn't seen his friends during the day, and wondered if they had sneaked into Hogsmeade without him. Just the thought of the wizarding village made him want to drink some warm Butterbeer in this chilly season.
"Meh, they'll bring something along for me if they're there." He concluded, still too comfortable to move.
He let his thoughts wander off to wherever they pleased, until the face of a certain person landed itself in his mind's eye.
"Hm...I wonder what Lee is doing..." He said quietly.
He shrugged to himself and settled his mind into playing a song from a Muggle CD Evans had lent him.

(*waves tentatively* mind if I join you?)
Outside seemeed to be the place to be. Atleast for Lee it was. It reminded her of home even though home was full of lakes and boats and the smell of the sea and fish but...outside was outside and she enjoyed it immensely. She had been at the lake, alone and trying to write a letter to her brother Keagan, when the giant squid decided to be rude and pull her in. Not to drown her. Just to make the human shriek in terror and then yell angrily at the water after she had pulled herself out.
She used a spell to dry herself quickly, got yelled at by a teacher for use of magic until she explained the situation and was told instead to meet them in their office to discuss the situation. Cecily was sure the teacher didn't believe her.
On her way to the office, something made her glance over and she spotted Sirius. Making up a lie about needing a homework assignment, which the teacher believed, Cecily was told to meet with them after dinner and was allowed to go over to Sirius.
She sat down next to him when she arrived then, stretching out next to him and turning her head to look into his eyes, she smiled and said "Hello, gorgeous."
She then blushed slightly at the slightly forward remark and hoped he didn't notice. Her voice was slightly off from yelling at the lake for ten minutes.

Sirius looked up, and grinned. He sat up and patted the dry ground beside him. "Hey." He said.
Had he heard Lee's greeting? Oh yes, he had. Had he chosen to ignore it? Yes. Why? Because he thought it was his own imagination that he heard Lee say, 'gorgeous'.
"So, what's up?" He asked, smiling.

Lee smiled embarassedly and told him of what happened with the giant squid and the teacher. She covered her eyes momentarily and shuddered hard. "Thats the coldest water I've ever been in." she said.
"I used a quick drying spell, messed it up because it was supposed to be warm. All it did was dry me off but I'm still freezing." She smiled slightly.
"It gets better. A teacher caught me and tried to take me in for detention. I lied and said you were helping me with homework so now I have to talk to them after dinner." She turned her eyes back to the sky, watching a peregrine circle overhead. She turned her eyes back to Sirius, her eyes locking onto his again. This time it was just...difficult to turn away.

Sirius laughed. "You should be careful." He said with a grin. "You should've said that the squid dragged you into the lake, and after you got out, decided to practice a drying charm for Charms class." He said.
Sirius stretched his arms and put them behind him, as to lean on them. Sirius cast a glimpse as Lee, but as she locked her eyes with his, he didn't turn away. Unconsciously, he held his breath.
Sirius felt the strong urge to hold her, but that might scare her away. His brain acted quickly as he thought of an excuse to wrap his arms around her, but found none.
Dammit! He thought, I've done this loads of time...so why...?
He tentatively moved closer to Lee and slowly put his arm around Lee, pulling her closer. "Are you still cold?" He whispered softly.
He prayed that Lee wouldn't hear his heart beat, because its beating sound had become louder and quicker in Sirius' ears.

Cecily smiled slightly. "Thats the thing! I did tell the teacher about the giant squid! I even have a bit of a bruise on my leg from it! She didn't believe me." She scoffed slightly" She didn't believe me about the squid but she believed I needed homework help from a student two years older and in a different house."
Her reaction was automatic. No thought was behind it. She didn't even realize she did it until she had spoken. When Sirius put his arm around her, Cecily did the first thing that naturally came to her mind.
She put her head on his shoulder and smiled. "I'm a little chilly but this helps."

Sirius smiled as Lee didn't recoil from his touch. His smile broke into a grin, as he felt as though he had everything he wanted in his arms.
He let his arm drop to her waist, and he slid his other arm around it, pulling Lee just a tad bit closer. He didn't say anything, nor loosen the tension in his muscles. He just waited for a reaction from Lee.

Cecily sighed and closed her eyes, her head finding that perfect spot on his shoulder where it seemed to fit exactly. This was the most comfortable she had ever been and, with a smile she turned her head slightly. Her nose brushed his cheek as she turned to thank him but found herself unable to speak for a moment.
When she was finally able to, it was just a whisper. "Thank you. This is quite comfortable. Are you ok?"

"Yes," Sirius grinned to himself, releasing the tension in his arm, "I'm quite fine."
A chilly wind blew, but Sirius didn't feel cold by it. He felt blissful...Sure, maybe LeeLee didn't feel anything for him...But, this was all he wanted: To have her in her arms. He smiled to himself, enjoying the moment and trying to engrave it upon his mind, to remember it for the rest of his life.
He squeezed Lee and smelled her hair, grinning. "You smell good." He said.

Cecily smiled at the compliment, shaking her head slightly. "It probably smells like the lake and you're just being nice saying that." She sat up slightly, still smiling. "either way, whether you meant it or not, thank you." She followed that with a quick kiss on the cheek.
It was quiet for a moment as she watched the area around her.
"I'm going to admit something to you that may actually either scare you away or..I don't know. If I don't say this though I'll be mad at myself for a while." She sat up straighter, trying to look confident.
"Sirius, I like you. A lot. More than just a friend by far. I'm not completely certain how you feel about me and thats important because if you see me as just a friend and what I said made you uncomfortable I really am sorry."

Sirius felt his heart thump by a million, no, a trillion as Cecily said these words. He was so happy he could burst. But, he tried and succeeded at keeping a straight face.
"Cecily--Lee-I think I love you!" He said without realizing. He gulped and mustered all the courage he could, and he began rambling. "You really stood out to me the first time we met, at Diagon Alley, remember? And-and the time that Bellatrix, that's my cousin, was talking to you and I saw your hands that were bleeding I got really mad and w-worried. I thought she had hurt you, and I was ready to curse her, because she had got me and-I've been thinking alot 'cause your very different from other girls and you're just so pretty, but I feel all giddy around you and my hands start sweating alot and--Will you be my girlfriend?" He said all together, really fast.
Wow...What did I just say? He thought to himself. He took a deep, deep breath and looked straight into her eyes. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He said in a soft voice.
He awaited her answer, blushing crimson, heart thumping loudly. His stomach was doing gymnastics against his will as he bit his tongue.

Cecily couldn't think for a moment. Sirius' words had her shocked and happy. Mostly shocked at first. When that wore off, she did the first logical thing that occured to her. She leaned forward and kissed him. This time on his lips. It was her way of saying yes.
She pulled away slightly, her eyes looking into his. "Yes, Sirius. I would love to be your girlfriend." She said softly.

Sirius grinned, slightly dazed from Lee's kiss. He didn't know what to say afterwards, You can't just say 'thank you' can ya? He thought to himself.
He smiled and pulled Lee into a deep kiss, his left arm around her waist and his right running through LeeLee's hair, eyes closed. He broke the kiss softly after a few moments, and smiled at her, eyes still closed.
"Right now, I don't think I love you. I know I love you." He said.

Lee grinned, blushing slightly. "You love me? Really?" She asked, looking into his eyes. She didn't need an answer though. It was there in everything he did. "I love you, too, Sirius." She said, kissing him lightly. She rested her head on his shoulder and smiled.
This was turning out to be a good day after all.

Sirius smiled, leaning his head on Lee head. He took on of her hands in his, grasping it lightly. "I've just been made the luckiest man in the world." He chuckled.
