Sirius was pouting. He didn't like shopping and Evans was making him go get books and things he didn't want to purchase. Normally he'd owl in an order and be done with it. But nom not with her. This was cruel and unusual punishment, for which he likely deserved. He let out a long sigh as he stared around Diagon Alley. Maybe he could run away? No, Lily wouldn't like that and she was good at snogging and he liked snogging her so he stayed put.

"Evans, I'm bored. Can we go now? Please?" Sirius pleaded with her. He wanted to be back at the castle hiding in his room; not shopping. Anything but shopping.

Lily had noticed Sirius' sulking like a bratty boy straight away, which was why now, at least an hour and half into the venture, she continued to take her sweet time. "Did you get your books yet?" glancing down at the bags she was carrying from the various shops Lily looked back at the list in her free hand, puffing out a sigh before she leisurely strolled towards the next stop. Trying not to smirk too obviously at Sirius' torment.

"I could have ordered them and be done with it by now. We didn't have to do this, y'know. Civilized people do that. I want to go. I don't want to buy books. Or quills. I don't want to go to school." Sirius huffed, crossing his arms as he walked. It was lucky she was so pretty and adorable and all those other things. Otherwise he'd be gone. "Can't we take a break?"

	Looking over at him she laughed softly at his sudden outburst, "Sirius Black, are you having a tantrum?" Pocketing her list she slid her arm smoothly around his, "fine, fine, we can take a break. Lead the way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius grinned and dragged her to Florean Fortescue's ice cream parlor. "Ice cream break! Always helps. Sort of. I hate shopping. Eat slow," he said and went inside the famous shop. This was one happy zone of his. He ordered a heaping bowl full. He had no shame when it came to ice cream, (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lily got herself a cone and smiled as Sirius helped himself to a bowl that looked like it could feed a family of five for a month. Sitting beside him at a little table she licked her cone and watched him feast bemusedly. "If you're so bored with Diagon Alley I've got to return to my parent's for a few things." She paused, smiling wryly she lifted a brow, "you could meet my Mum and Dad."

	Sirius practically choked after her final statement. "No, I do not meet parents." It was true. He had never met the parents of any girl he dated, snogged, or shagged. It was one of the few rules he was strict with. "Sorry, can't meet them. Too bad. Time for more ice cream," he said and started eating again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why?" she scowled a bit at time, debating the benefits of kicking him a little under the table before deciding against it. Head Girls did not kick people. "You're just my friend, they won't start planning us a wedding or anything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius shook his head. "I just don't do that. That's not me. You can go see them and I'll go back to the castle," he said with a small shrug as if it was that simple. That actually sounded nice! Ice cream and a nap. Very good indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Frowning slightly, this was not at all how she'd pictured their lovely day out together going, Lily sniffed the air delicately and almost pouted herself. "Why?" His answers were not good enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_sblack_ 2015-09-29 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Sirius shrugged, eating still. "Just don't. Too much involved. Parents think the worse. It's better not to. No reason to anyway. Why would I want to meet them?" He knew he was probably digging himself into a hole, but it was truthful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You stink!" she said abruptly and without thinking before sitting back in her seat and frowning. "Go back to the castle then, if it means so much to you then!" Narrowing her eyes as she said so, issuing a very obvious challenge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm eating ice cream," Sirius said, pointing to the half eaten bowl. He didn't see what the big deal was, honestly. Girls were too finicky about everything. This was why he decided he wasn't going to marry. No matter how pretty Lily was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lily said nothing in response, and suddenly she didn't want her ice cream at all anymore. She didn't understand what the big deal was about stopping by the house really quickly, but upon more thought, she wasn't entirely sure she understood anything about what might've been happening between her and Sirius. After a minute or two of saying nothing she finally spoke up, "Am I just a friend to you Sirius?"

	Sirius contemplated her question. He didn't think so, not entirely. Well, yes. First and foremost she was a friend. But he was snogging her exclusively. That was something. Was she his... girlfriend? Maybe. That was up to her, he figured. "I wouldn't say just a friend; we snog." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Placing the ice cream cone neatly on a napkin she looked at Sirius and sighed, considering his words. This was all new territory, and despite the fact that he could be completely terrible, Sirius was actually quite wonderful. “Would you be angry if I snogged other boys?” she asked the question carefully, as if trying to get a feel for the whole situation.

	"Well that would be very rude," Sirius said, still eating. He didn't understand this conversation very much. Why was she all over the place with questions. And why so many questions? "I don't know about angry, maybe irritated. I mean... I can't control what you do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hm. Alright then," her tone was casual as she shrugged, and looked down, idly going through one of the bags she'd picked up. She figured it was a reasonable way to assess the situation she'd found herself in, if he minded, then he cared, and if he didn't - then they were friends who snogged. Or maybe had snogged but wouldn't be snogging anymore? Lily wasn't sure if her assessment had helped her understand anything.

	"Why all the questions, Evans?" Sirius asked her finally, finishing her ice cream. This was not how he wanted the afternoon to progress. There was no snogging. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rolling her eyes belligerently Lily lifted her head and looked him squarely in the eye. "I just wanted to see if it would matter to you, is all." Clearly not all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can't stop you from doing anything, so why does it matter. If you want to snog some other bloke, then do it. Why should it bother me?" It did. And it would. He just didn't want to admit it. That wasn't how Sirius rolled. He wasn't some fool who wore his heart on his sleeve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't get mad at me for not understanding your bloody questions! Ask me directly; don't play these bloody word games," Sirius shot back to her, narrowing his eyes. He still wasn't going to confess anything sentimental. "If it makes you damn well feel better, I haven't snogged anyone else." Not that there was anyone around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Too late, she was mad, and it showed. Even her hair looked a bit brighter as she glared at him. "I just wanted to know," she began slowly, each word dripping with venom, "how much I ought to hex you if I caught you snogging other girls." The anger dissolved, seemingly out of thin air and she sighed, frowning and looking down at his ice cream, "I hope I don't though, whatever that might mean."

	"I never get caught," she exclaimed, repeating his words back to him as she turned. Walking back to way she'd come to stand in front of him. "I never get bloody caught? Who says that?

	Sirius shrugged, "It's just me. You already snog me, so that means you fancy me already. I am who I am. I can't change me. I can't change the past. Take it or leave it." They were getting no where and it frustrated Sirius to no end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was less angry now, although no less confused about anything, her shoulders slumping slightly.

	"Because term starts soon and there are so many lovely girls in our year, and when you snuck out while I was making rounds thought about what would happen if," she trailed off.

	Sirius nodded. That was as close as he got. He leaned down to meet her kiss, a small grin on his lips. He could figure this out on his own. "I'm not meeting your parents," Sirius said, kissing her again, arms moving around her waist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Fine! Not yet, but you can meet them for Christmas when you come to stay, and Petunia too," horrible Petunia was more like it, but she wouldn't ever say anything terrible about her sister out loud.
