You're as cool as pudding in a salad bar [Siriuss]

[Keiara Waters]

Saturday mornings are the worst. Who would honestly want to be up doing things when there is sleeping to be done? One Gryffindor girl lived by this rule. So she was the last one, anyone would except to be up at 11 in the morning on a Saturday. Even though most would not consider this early, Keiara Waters did. But it was well worth it. Today was a visit to the Hogsmeade village, and Keiara had some serious shopping to do. Though, she'd rather be dead than shopping for clothes like the rest of the girls. Don't get it twisted though, Keiara Waters loves her mates, she loves them dearly. But spending the whole visit shopping for clothes she didn't need, was jut not on her agenda. In fact, Keiara Waters was planning on spending the day with one of her other mates.

Luckily for Keiara, the bathrooms were empty on account on her roommates getting up at least an hour earlier to leave. She shook her dark brown hair out of her blue eyes that, according to most people, could be seen from miles away. Keiara grabbed her brush off the sink and began to pull it though her unruly hair. Her hair was in her natural curls, which did not suit Keiara Waters for today. Lifting up her wand and pointing it to her head, she whispered a spell under her breath and instantly her curly locks, were as straight as a rod.

It was not in character for Keiara to get dressed up, for anyone. But today, she decided she would. She drew a thin line of eyeliner around her eyes, and slided on a tiny bit of clear lip gloss. Keiara brushed her hair quickly again, and walked back out into the dorms. Pulling up the lid of the trunk, Keiara started to sort though her various items of clothing. Barely 3 minutes later, she had picked out her entire outfit. Again, Keiara made her way back to the bathroom. She pulled off her black pajama pants and replaced them with hip hugging, flared jeans. Off was her over sized blue t-shirt and on was a form fitting, white, lace tank top. Keiara shoved her feet into her worn converse that had been inscribed. with writings of all her friends. Keiara looked at herself in the mirror once more before leaving the bathroom. Glancing at the clock briefly before she hurried out the common room, it had been barely a half an hour.

Keiara made her lonesome walk down to the village. She made into Hogsmeade in 15 minutes and headed to the spot where she was supposed to meet her friend. Keiara stood in front of Zonkos, and leaned up against the building. Sirius was supposed to meet her 5 minutes ago. But after years of knowing Sirius, Keiara didn't except him to be on time. 'Sirius is probably just getting up now' She thought to herself. Keiara ran her fingers though her hair and surveyed the growing crowd around her. But she found what she was looking for...One Mr. Sirius Black.

[Sirius Black]

Beep. Beep. Beep. Something was beeping in his ear. And then a bell began to toll. And he could hear the firsties chatter in the common room. A whole symphony of noises that he did not want to hear. He turned over and slammed a pillow on his head. But he could still hear the beeping, the tolling, and the chattering. He counted the bell tolls willing it to put him asleep over the beeping of the alarm clock that Sirius Black was too lazy to reach over and turn off. Ten, eleven, twelve. He groaned. It was high noon. Sirius had planned to meet Keiara in Hogsmeade. 11:45 they had agreed on. It was two minutes after twelve.

Ugh. His body seemed to moan at him as he reached over and slammed the snooze button on his alarm clock so hard that he sent it flying off the nightstand. "Goddammit." He rolled to face it and finally forced himself to get up. He rose, wearing his plaid pajama bottoms and his chest bared as he always slept. He drowzily lifted the wand from atop his dresser and pointed it at the clock with a mutter of, "Reparo." It eagerly rose back to its normal residence, as this was a regular occurence.

He had wanted to impress her. Not something he often did with a girl. He considered for a moment, going just as he was, chest-bared. Surely that would impress her. But would probably also disturb the peace. He blearily headed for his dresser and gazing into the mirror above it, ran a brush through his dark locks. A bit of gel got squeezed into his palm and he ran his fingers through his hair, giving it an appropriately dousled look.

He grabbed an artfully torn pair of jeans and a pair of underwear before heading into the bathroom. He opted for briefs today instead of his usual boxers. Then went his jeans in which he paused to examine the effect of the tears. Yes. Perfectly ripped. He grinned and re-entered the main room of his dorm. A t-shirt bearing the words "The Weird Sisters" was carefully chosen and then a leather jacket was thrown over his shoulder. He considered sunglasses for a moment, but thought it's be best if he could stare soulfully into her eyes. He slipped into his trainers and headed out at a brisk pace.

Once he reached the path that led through the grounds to Hogsmeade he set off at a brisk run, his athletic body not protesting. Fashionably late was alright but it was nearly one now. His lungs and head were protesting now. So maybe he was a wee bit hung over. Keiara wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

He slowed to a suave swagger as he turned onto the main road, heading for Zonko's. True he had been friends with Keiara since second year. But lately it had developed into more of a romantic relationship. As in, she was his girlfriend. Sirius smiled amusedly at the thought. Oddly enough, he actually liked Keiara, unlike most of the girls he dated, but he was still was getting closer to his goal of dating every Gryffindor upperclassmen. Yesiree.

There she was. Standing in front of Zonko's just as she said she would be. She had not left from him being so late. She knew him better than that. And Sirius kind of liked it.

"Hey," he said, more friendly, than flirty, as he usually was. Then he ran a hand through his own hair in much the same manner she had done.

(I'm a picture-a-holic =])

"Way to show up late Black." Keiara said, a small smirk sneaking on to her lips. "Your only, what an hour and 15 minutes late?" She said raising her thin eyebrows but laughing all the same. "I take it that you just woke up at 12. And, what, it took you a whole hour to put together this ravishing outfit?" said Keiara laughing but enveloping Sirius in a hug none the less. "Jeeze man, it only took me like 15 minutes to get ready and I look fan-freaking-tabulous." She said, her smile turning into a full on grin. "Unlike Mr. Scruffy here." Keiara added, ruffling Sirius' hair, even though she knew it took him a full hour to make it look like a mess. Acting silly was always Keiara defense mechanism. If she was angry, upset, or nervous (as she was now. It was her first REAL date after all), Keiara would always resort back to jokes and acting like an idiot.
"So, Siri, my love, where do we begin?" She asked looping her arm though Sirius's.

It was weird being so close to Sirius. Sure, normally, when the pair of friends were together, she would do the exact same thing, loop her arms though his. But somehow, knowing she was actually on a DATE with the notorious womanizer Sirius Black, made it feel different. She could never picture herself going on a date with one of her best mates, let alone being his actual girlfriend. Maybe in the back of her mind, Keiara though she could be the one who tames Sirius Black, to make him have a REAL relationship, but she knew it would never happen. Sirius was a serial dater and she knew that going into the relationship. It was something she had to accept and move on. Keiara had always had a crush on him, something she was sure not to tell another living soul besides Harmony. Not like it mattered, every girl in the school had a crush on Sirius. Every girl though Sirius was the 'hottest' boy. And it had killed Keiara to watch him go though girl after girl, and now that she was one of those girl, when the break up happened, as Keiara knows it will, she'd be devastated. But that was the price that you pay when you go out with Sirius Black. Keiara shook these thoughts from her head, and turned to look at Sirius, she smiled and decided even if this relationship would be short lived, Keiara would live it to its fullest.
