{dancing with the dog father} OPEN

[Sirius Black]

Music was blasting out from the Quidditch Pitch. Well blasting was a bit of an exaggeration but it was loud. The way Sirius Black liked it. He was stood in the middle of the field with a small, dark box at his feet. His head was bobbing and his mouth moved along with the words. It had started at just this but once the upbeat song had got into full swing his whole body had began to sway with the music.

He had found this station on his wizardind wireless completely by chance and he had instantly fell in love with the song. So much so that he put it on repeat. By the time he'd reached the pitch it was onto it's fifth time around. He had originaly been planning to get in some practice but he was easily distracted, an so was James apparently. His best friend had meant to be joining him but Evans showed up and James was off. Sirius wasn't too bothered by it though, the amout of times he himself had done pretty much the same thing.

So there he was dancing by himself in the middle of the Quidditch Pitch completely oblivious to the rest of the world.

[Noelle Thomas]

"Loser!" the girl called to one of her friends. Her friend was being a pain in the neck today. "Be jealous!" she called to her again as she walked towards the Quidditch Pitch laughing. Noelle was always joking with her friends. Today was one of those days. She walked towards the Quidditch Pitch and heard a song coming from it. "What the hell?" she said quietly and saw Sirius Black standing in the middle of the pitch. She walked towards him, sneaking up behind him. He probably wouldn't be able to see her, or hear her from the loudness of the music. Sneaking up she grabbed his shoulders and jumped up shouting "HI!". She dropped laughing. "Whatcha doing Sirius?" she asked him.

[Sirius Black]

Sirius had just been wiggling his arse wildly when a loud noise in his ear caused him to jump and spin round, his eyes wide with shock. "Bloody hell Elle!" he breathed clutching at his heart. "Why'd you have to sneak up on me like that? Scared me half to death you did!" Once he'd calmed down he set about answering her question. "I happened to dancing actually, what did you think I was doing idiot?" he replied brashly.

Sirius bent down and fiddled with his box for a moment before rising back to his full height, towering over Noelle in the process. A slower, but not too slow, song began to play. He held out a hand and sent her his most charming smile. He asked politely, "May I have this dance?"

[Noelle Thomas]

"Hey you made my name rhyme...Sorta..." she said giggling. She put on a hurt face when he called her an idiot. "At least I get my own grades.." she mumbled. "Actually you were making yourself look sort of like an idiot Sirius...seriously...what would have happened if it was a Slytherin or someone you liked walking past seeing you dance like that?" she asked him. She actually would have laughed hard if that happened but still. "You'd be a fool till you leave Hogwarts." she told him with a small smile. She saw him change the song and ask her to dance. "Sure." she said taking his hand.

[Sirius Black]

He shrugged indifferently. "I wouldn't really care to be honest. They already hurl abuse at me for being a blood traitor, a little more isn't going to matter. And anyway, as long as I'm having fun they can call me all the names under the sun for all I care. We only have one life, might as well enjoy it while we can."

Her hand felt so fragile in his big, hefty ones and they seemed so small in comparison. His other hand went down to rest on her waist and he used it to pull her closer to him. "So what brings you out here anyway?" Sirius asked as they swayed gently to the relaxing melody.

[Noelle Thomas]

"True that. I call my brother a blood traitor though. But thats because he's the only one in Slytherin while Josh, me, Brian, Dustin, and Maria are in Gryffindor." she said shrugging. "You're right for once Sirius, you only have one life to live." she added with a nod. She stepped closer to him as he put his hand on her waist. She swayed to the music as he did. She smiled and then a smile giggle escaped her lips. Sirius Black and her...Noelle Thomas. That was purely funny to her for some reason. Sirius was something like a friend of her brother's. This just added to the humor of the situation. "Sorry." she said clearing her throat, but her smile stayed.

[Sirius Black]

"For once?" He put on a look and tone of shock before laughing. "I'm always right I'll have you know. Just what you define as right and what I define as right are two totally different things."

When she laughed at him he pouted and playfully slapped her bum. "Hey!" he pouted. "My dancing skills aren't that bad are they?" Sirius asked. With a swift kick the wireless was now playing a slow ballad. After just a few beats he realised just how cheesy the song was but he let it play on. He slipped his hand out of hers and moved it down to join his other one on her waist.

[Noelle Thomas]

"Our differences of right are two worldly differences." she said to him. She put her arms around his neck as his other hand went towards her waist. "And. I'm not laughing at your dancing skills." she informed him smiling. Her blue eyes twinkled in the light. She smiled again and realized that the song was rather cheesy. She had to smile though. She had come here to practice and found Sirius. Now here she was, dancing with him. Her days were never normal were they?

[Sirius Black]

"Then what were you laughing at?" he inquired. He smiled as he felt her hands settle on his neck. This was nice. A change from their usual playful banter or trying to knock each other of their brooms. As much as he enjoyed those times he also liked these times when they slowed down and just revel in each other's company.

"You still haven't told me what you're doing out here," Sirius purred softly, proving that he wasn't loud and boisterous all the time. He could be a gentleman and very romantic when he wanted to be. He knew just the right words to whisper to make a girl's heart melt and her legs turn to jelly.

[Noelle Thomas]

"Nothing.." she said with her same smile. She swayed to the music as Sirius did. Usually they were always trying to knock each other off their brooms. This was a nice change of pace. "I'm otu here because I wanted to practice." she informed him. That was what she had been planning on but this was better. She noticed that his voice was lower. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

[Sirius Black]

"Oh come on! Tell me!" He pleaded, putting on his best puppy dog eyes, which were the best around even if he did say so himself. Not even Moony could resist his eyes. He used them on Remus everytime he wanted to copy his homework and so far it had always worked.

"Practice what?" he asked then winked so she would catch his drift. "You can practice on me if you like. I can help you improve on your technique," Sirius added. He was grinning. He'd thought his reply was really witty and was rather pleased with himself for it.

[Noelle Thomas]

"It's the fact that you know my brother." she said simply. She had to rolled her eyes though. Those puppy dog eyes. She dropped her jaw when he said she could practice on him. "Haha." she said rolling her eyes again. "To practice for chasing." she informed him.

[Sirius Black]

"Yeah, 'cos that makes a whole load of sense doesn't it?" he replied sarcastically and rolling his eyes back at her. "Your wierd," Sirius mummbled.

Sirius smirked. "You know deep down you are pining for me, Elle, and you'll be beating yourself up for weeks for turning down my offer." He took one of her hands from around his neck and used it to twirl her around then pull her back into his arms. His hands went back around her waist, which was noticably closer to his that in was before. Sirius knew he should stop, she was his friend and just that. But having any girl in such an intimate position; it took over his mind and he began to run on instinct whether he liked it or not.

[Noelle Thomas]

"Your not the most normal person either Siri." she said with a smile. She giggled as she twirled. She placed her arms back around his neck. She knew she should stop, but she was a flirt, not much you could do about it really. She smiled and leaned in towards him. She laid her head on his shoulder as they swayed.

[Sirius Black]

"Thanks," he laughed, "I'll take that as a compliment whether you meant it as one or not."

He rested his chin on the top of her head and smiled, he could get used to this. "So, has anything exciting happened in your life since we last spoke? Any new boyfriends that I should know about?" he asked, taking on the role of an older brother that he sometimes felt he was to Noelle.
