CHAPTER 2
*the entire mansion of the Ancient House of Black was filled with ppl frm all walks of the high society life, eating n drinking n making merry, n Sirius, hidden frm view, was eyeing everyone boredly*
"So this is where is lordship went to." Remus said finding Sirius.
Sirius: *jumped at Remus' call* Merlin's beard, Remy! A little warning wouldnt kill ya, would it?
Remus chuckled. "Youj are the main person here. Everyone wants to see you and push there sons and daughter on you."
Sirius: Ugh! Tht's the whole point. All they care abt is the rich eligible bachelor Sirius Black who will shower their child with riches beyond their wildest dreams n bathe in milk n honey n whatnot. They dont see me for me, just a walking gold bar
"Well what else do you expect? Even though your parents liked your brother better you were the most responsible."
Sirius: *rolled his eyes* Evn wen he's dead, they still loved him more than they should to me, bt tht's not wht I care. I... *noticed someone standing out in the midst of the crowd* Hello, who is tht?
"Hm? Oh the woman talking to the Minister's aid? That I believe is Baron Snape's daugher. I don't know her name."
Sirius: *frm his point of view, evn though he could tell tht this girl was not reli tht attractive as a woman, bt there was something abt her tht he was reli drawn to*
"Would you like to dance with her?"
Sirius: Well, yeah, maybe. I guess so *feeling a little bit flustered*
"Sirius get out there." he pushed Sirius out into the open.
Severus was just finishing up a conversation with the Minister's aid when he turned to see Sirius just a little ways away.
Sirius: *scowled a little at Remus pushing him out in the open for all the "vultures" to get him, bt maintained his air of elegance as he made his way towards Severus, holding out a hand like a gentleman should* May I have this dance, milady?
Severus bliknked and looked around to see if he was talking to someone else. "Me, Milord?"
Sirius: *smiled suavely* Yes, of course. I dont see anyone else bt u in front of me *gently takes Sev's hand n led him to the dance floor*
Severus gulped and let himself be lead out. He could feel everyone's eyes on him.
Sirius: *ignored all eyes on him like a pro as he led Sev to the middle of the dancefloor n nodded for the musicians to play a romantic song n started leading the dance, guiding Sev on it*
Severus tried follow but he was not a good dancer.
Sirius: *smiled kindly at him* Nice n easy there, milady. Just follow my lead * helped to guide him*
"Can I be completely honset my lord?" Severus asked, trying to follow.
Sirius: Yes, pls, milady *moved with the beat*
"I am not a woman, nore have I ever been."
Sirius: *blinked in surprise, bt didnt miss a beat* Ur a man? Tht is surprising. I hv not knw for the Snape family to hv a son. Why this getup then?
"Father wants to a wizard which he is not. So marrying his 'daughter' to a rich wizard was a dream come true. That is why we are here." he blurted out.
Sirius: Ah, I see. So u r also an unwilling participant in all this, eh?
"Yes." he nodded. "I didn't want to come here...well not in a dress."
Sirius: *smiled at him* I think you look rather fetching in a dress. Brings out ur eyes. N if it makes u feel any better, I'm not exactly thrilled abt being in this ball either
"Really? I thought you were the one to plan it, since you are looking for a wife." Now that his mind was off the dancing he was dancing better.
Sirius: Nope, unfortunately. Its one of my parents
many creative ways to get rid of me, sadly
"I wanted to get married to someone I wanted to and as a man."
Sirius: If u were to say tht in the Muggle world, u'd be burnt at the stake right now. *chuckles* I wont lie tht i'm not looking for a wife, or a "wife", if u knw wht I mean, bt everyone here is so superficial, n my parents did this in a hurry coz they wanna get rid of me ASAP n stop sucking off their funds. Despite me being the firstborn, I'm not exactly the loved one in the family
"My father never wanted a son. He wanted a daughter so he could suck off my future husband. We are nearly poor. I don't know if he even has money for my dowry."
Sirius: Then he shouldnt hv groomed u as a daughter in the first plc *the music ended* Shall we talk somewhere else without prying eyes? I see tht u r uncomfortable by it
"Yes, please." He nodded.
Sirius: *gestured Sev to casually walk away frm the crowd before secretly taking Sev to lead him to the tower* There. Better?
"Much, thank you my Lord." He nodded.
Sirius: Pls, call me Sirius. I would like it vry much. Less formality. Oh, I have yet to knw ur name
"Which one? The name my mother gave me or the one my Father insistes I use?"
Sirius: Both, so tht I knw wht to call u in public n wht to call u in private *his smile was illuminated by the moonlight, highlighting his gorgeous features ppl talked a lot abt*
Severus looked away and blushed slightly. "My name is Severus, but my father calls me Severa. He thinks the 'A' makes it sound feminan."
Sirius: Ah, noted. Then I'll knw wht to call u. Some original idea ur father has *sarcasm* As for me, u more or less knw who I am. Sirius Black, or in private, u can call me Siri. My friends call me tht, if u can consider them real friends. The only real friend I hv would be Remus Lupin
"Is he another Lord?" Severus asked.
Sirius: Naw. More like my right hand man. He's assigned as my playmate n my...second-in-command so to speak evr since my family took him aftr his parents, who worked under my parents, passed away
"That was very nice of you." He said. "bring on the low end of the pole I never got a playmate."
Sirius: He's probably the only one who understands me, I suppose, since we've been together thru thick n thin. Dont u hv any friends at least?
"Father wouldn't let me get close to anyone for the fear that they would see I was male and not female."
Sirius: Boy, tht's harsh. Talk abt seclusion. Well, at least ur not like me, being shunned by my own parents bcoz of a oh-so-talented little brother
"I wish I had siblings. My mother had three miscarraiges before the doctor said that the next one could kill her. So they had to stop trying. Father was no very happy."
Sirius: *raised a brow* Has he nvr heard of adoption?
"Has to be his blood running through the child. "That is what has kept me alive."
Sirius: *his heart suddenly skipped a beat* He...He planned to kill u?
"He has been telling me that since I was eight." He sighed. "Sorry. I should not bother you with my problems. I am sorry."
Sirius: Its OK. I shouldnt bother u with mine either. I knw I may sound a little forward bt... *takes Sev's hand n kissed the bk of it* Would u be adverse to me courting u? There's something abt u tht...reli draws me in, n its not because I thought u were a woman
"Oh, you do.." He blinked. "But why? There are others that are far more graceful and look better."
Sirius: I'm not into looks. I'm into wht counts inside, n I can tell ur heart is genuine, not like those gold diggers out there who is out for my money. I want u, n no one else. So *went dwn on one knee, holding tht hand* do I hv ur permission to court u?
Severus blinked again, so Sirius also thought he was ugly. "Sorry." He pulled his hand away and went running from the room.
Sirius: Wht the...? *blinked in surprise* Wait! Severus! *chased aftr him* Wht did I say?
Severus bumped into someone and looked up to see Earl Lucius Malfoy a man that would fuck anything that moved and his wife was too nivies to even know.
"Oh I am sorry." A maid nodded to Lucius and walked away. "I don't remember you, my lady." he smiled and took Severus' hand and kissed it.
Sirius: *managed to catch up with Severus* Seve...ra! *sees Lucius* Malfoy *frowned at him a little*
"Severa? If that was this beautiful creatures name in." He smiled then looked at Sirius. "Been catching a few yourself, Black?"
Severus blushed. This man was very good looking, but not the same good looks at Sirius.
Sirius: I'd like to say the same thing abt u, Malfoy. Unfortunately u just caught my date, n I would like to hv him bk
"I don't see your name one her." He said, knowing Severus was too ugly to be a woman. He kissed Severus hand. "Until we met again, my angel." He bow and left.
Sirius: *glared at Lucius kissing Sev's n watched him leave before taking Sev's hand* He's the last person u'd want to be with. He shags anything tht moves
"But unlike you, he compliments right." He said, angry and pulling his hand back.
Sirius: Wht r u talking abt? Wht did I say tht has offended u?
"'I'm not into looks'? I may not be the most beautiful man that lived but at least you could lie and say that I look decent or acceptable. You didn't have to be so harsh."
Sirius: But I'm not, truly. N I wasnt being harsh. U r quite attractive in some way, bt I dont care as long as u hv a pure heart who is genuinely not into just my riches, like every gold digger I see ard here in this party, n it is ur heart n the aura u gave me tht made me drawn to u. I would've thought u'd appreciate my honesty seeing tht ur one to be honest urself.
"I did, but It still stung. I would have been nice if you had just said it before." He looked down at his dress.
Sirius: I want to court u for u. Ur looks, ur heart, ur true self, everything * caressed Sev's cheek n lifted his chin to make him face him* I wouldnt spare a single glance on anyone bt u tonight, n hopefully for the rest of the time we're together
Severus had to admit that was the sweetest thing he had ever heard. "Well then...becareful what you say next time."
Sirius: *grinned* So do I hv ur permission to court u then?
"You have my permission and probably my father's too."
Sirius: I wouldnt put tht aside, bt I care abt ur choices, not ur old man's. If its not too forward for u, how's abt a nice quiet picnic at the park, say, tomorrow aftrnoon?
"Yes, sound lovely. I am sure you would not mind my mother coming along?"
Sirius: Of course not. By all means, bring a chaperone. I knw fully how ppl might think if they see us alone. Tht is if ur not adverse to me bringing my friend Remus along
"No. I would like to meet this man."
Sirius: Then its a date *kisses the bk of Sev's hand*
"A date, Sirius." he curtsied.
