CHAPTER 3
*soon the party ended, n Sirius had to send off each n every one of the guests, suffering the expectant and/or dirty looks frm those who hv plans to shove their sons/daughters to him*
Severus looked at him once more and left with his parents.
Sirius: *caught tht look n smiled at him, watching him leave before sighing dreamily*
"Did somone find a new friend?" Remus asked from behind him.
Sirius: *jumped a little* Jeez! Do u make it ur life's mission to sneak up on me?
"Some one has to keep you on your toes." he chuckled. "She seems very nice."
Sirius: *waited until everyone left before he led him to his private study* Can I trust u with a secret, Remy?
"You know you can, Sirius. I have yet to let you down."
Sirius: *took a deep breath n told him the entire conversation he had with Severus at the tower* ...And tht's the gist of it. So remember, call him 'Severa' in public. No one knws his true gender except his family n us, n he'd like to keep it tht way, for now
Remus nodded. "I knew he was a man, just by looking at him, but I dare not judge. And besides you have never been to crazy about women."
Sirius: Maybe once or twice, if u count tht schoolboy crush I had with Tonks, bt yeah, blokes hv always been my choice
Remus chuckled. "So you want to see her again?"
Sirius: Yeah, in fact I asked him out for a picnic at the park. He's bringing his mom along as chaperone, so thought u might wanna be mine
Remus chuckled. "If you want."
Sirius: Thanks. Ur a pal *grins appreciatively*
Severus got out of the carragie After his mother and father.
Tobias: Well, I hate to admit it bt it seems u hv successfully caught the eye of Lord Black
"Whatever do you mean?" He asked. "He just wanted to chat with someone that has a brain."
Tobias: Dont be smart mouth there, lass. I was giving u a compliment, so dont test me. I saw the way Lord Black was all smitten to u. Keep up the good work, lass, n we might just get this hitched
"I will choose whom I would marry." Severus snapoed.
Tobias: *slapped Severus* U r to do as ur told, lass! If it werent for me, u n ur worthless mother would've been in the streets begging for scraps! U r to carry on with wht u r doing with Lord Black! Its the least u can do for me putting food on the table for this family
Severus cradled his cheek. "And that least you can do for me is drop dead!" Severus yelled before he though. He put his hand over his mouth.
"Come, Tobias, love. It has been a long night. Apologize to your father." ellieen stood between them.
Tobias: *was fuming n was abt to hit at Severus again before Eileen came btwn them, scowling, he glared at Severus, waiting for an apology, his arms folded in front of his chest*
"Sorry, father." He pup his head down. "I will do as I am told."
"See there, no harm done." Eileen kissed his husband on the cheek. "I will take Severus to his bedroom."
Tobias: *huffed n pushed the wife aside, going off to his drinking parlour to get his next fix*
Severus, still holding his cheek when to his room.
Eileen: *led him to the room n soaked a towel with cold water to press against the cheek* Here, lemme fix tht. *sighs* Honestly, Sevvy. Why must u always aggravate ur father?
“I’m sorry it just so hard to stop when he eggs it on.” He winced at the cold water.
Eileen: U must bear with it, for my sake. He's all I've got now aside frm u, luv. Try to put up with it, just until u find someone u want to be with. Which reminds me, how did it RELI go with Lord Black? U seemed to be holding out on us just now
“Fine. He was very nice and he wants to go on a picnic with me tomorrow. Oh, please don’t tell father but he wants to court me.” Severus was smiling.
Eileen: Why, tht's wonderful news! Dont worry, I wont tell. I suppose I'll hv to chaperone u tomorrow then?
“If you would. I don’t want father to know just yet. I want Sirius to supirse him if he asks for my hand.”
Eileen: I would do anything for my little Sevvy. Knwing ur father, he'd be thrilled to hear the great Ancient House of Black willing to take u as their own, bt yes, it would definitely surprise him to hear Lord Black asking for ur hand, judging by how little confidence he has in u
“Yes. So I just want to keep it under wraps. What sould I wear. Oh and he also knows that I am male.”
Eileen: Oh? N he's not bothered by it? *a little worried*
“He still wants to court me. So I suppose he dosen’t mind.”
Eileen: Well, tht's good news then. I'll assume tht he will be the one providing the picnic stuff n we just need to bring ourselves then? Which reminds me, I'm going to hv to come up with an excuse to ur father to take u out
“Well....Hide Park is always a good spot for watching the rich. Just tell Father we will go and walk around Hide Park. Doesn’t he have business tomorrow?”
Eileen: Yes, he does, bt u knw how ur father can be vry monitoring sometimes. Alright, I'll tell him tht. Cheek feel better now, luv?
“Yes, do you think it will be red in the morning? I don’t want to look bad.”
Eileen: I'm sure a bit of concealment charm will hide it if it does, bt it looks good more or less. Get some sleep, OK, Sevvy? Big day ahead tomorrow *kissed his forehead n left the room*
“Thank you mum.” He smiled and hugged her.
Eileen: *hugged him bk n left*
Severus got out of his clothes and got into bed, smiled big. He couldn’t wait.
