BONNIE PULLED REMUS down from the window, knowing well enough that James and Lily had seen his tall figure. "Bloody hell, Rem, you've given us away!" she teased the lanky wolf who wanted nothing more than to be curled up in the castle with a book than spying on his friends. He glared half-heartedly at Bonnie. "Ooh, unfriendly wolfy."

Sirius snorted as he stood leaning against the wall with a cigarette hanging from his lips. Bonnie hated how good he looked as he ran a hand through his hair once. Marlene noticed her staring, so she snapped her fingers in front of Bonnie's face causing the witch to blush.

"What're they doing?" Peter asked, taken a cigarette when Sirius offered him one.

Mary peaked again. "Talking, and—oh, bloody hell. Lily gave me the look, Bon."

"Abort, abort!" Bonnie said, grabbing Sirius and Marlene's hands as the large group took off to the nearest shop, which happened to be Honeydukes. She chuckled as Peter tripped into the door in their haste.

"Lily'll kill us," Remus said, out of breath.

"A wise man once said, 'If she can't find us, she can't kill us!'" Bonnie said cheerfully, thinking of James. Sirius watched her as she grinned, taking in how beautiful she looked with his leather jacket clad on her figure. Her face was flushed as she grinned, seeming at ease. He knew that would change after their visit with Dumbledore that night.

"Who was this wise man?" Marlene asked, leaning on Remus. The wolf carefully placed an arm around her.

"James," Bonnie said with a grin.

Sirius snorted, moving to grab onto Bonnie's hand. "James is far from wise, sweetheart. You guys mind if Bonnie and I go take a walk?"

"Go for it," Peter said with an easygoing smile.

Bonnie eyed Sirius suspiciously as he tugged her away from their friends. "Where're we going?"

"On a proper date," he answered with a nonchalant shrug, "if you'll have me."

Bonnie grinned as he pulled her in the direction of the Hog's Head bar. It was a dingy place, but she knew exactly why he took her there before he said it. The privacy.

"Let's sit in that corner," Sirius motioned with his head, letting her hand go to order some drinks.

Bonnie left him to go sit, smiling as he spoke to the older man who looked eerily familiar: Aberforth. Sirius walked back with a grin and two drinks. Placing it down, he sat impossibly close to Bonnie as the pair kept warm from the ever changing weather.

"Tell me something I don't know about you, dearest darling Bonnie," Sirius said after a moment of quiet.

Bonnie bit her lip, Sirius's eyes finding them for a second before they went back to her eyes. "I've never finished the same book twice."

Sirius rolled his eyes but a smile forced its way onto his face. "In both lives?"

Bonnie gave him a look. "I refused to read anything Remus gave me in our fifth year because he had already shown me."

Sirius let out a bark of laughter as they sipped their drinks. After a moment, he quieted down. "I guess you'd know everything about me, huh?"

Bonnie tilted her head. "Not true. I told you... we weren't this intimate, for lack of a better term. I knew the face value secrets—your Animagi, your map, your love for motorcycles."

He grinned lightly. "Hmm, did I ever tell you the story of Reg and I's first experience on a broom?"

Bonnie shook her head as Sirius's face lit up. She sat there all afternoon listening to Sirius's stories, some she knew, some she didn't. She told him her own stories that mostly were around her friends as her family was not the best subject.
