I double DOG dare you (Sirius Black)

[Katerina Marenda]

Katerina groaned as she thought of the dare that Blaze had just told her to do. She really needed new friends. OK so that was a lie. Katerina wouldn't trade Blaze for anything in the world. There had been friends since primary school and had instantly become like twins. They were never without the other one so it was also obvious that they would drive each other absolutely up the wall occasionally. OK so never to those extremes but they did pick on each other in good fun.

Katerina shook her head and sneaked further along the lawn before getting over to the lake. Why in the world had she agreed to play truth or dare with Blaze? Blaze always had out there dares. This one had to take the cake though. Go swimming in her most revealing swimsuit that she owned....in broad daylight.....in the lake.

Katerina pulled off her blouse and carefully set it in her bag to reveal her flowery small halter top that revealed a hefty amount of cleavage. She then pulled off her shoes and socks before setting them to the side and wiggling out of her skirt. Her bottom was slightly low-rise and was also a high cut and tied on the sides. It was also a flowery pattern and Katerina's natural tan shown.

Katerina groaned and knew that she would regret doing this for the rest of her life and pulled her hair up into a high pony tail on her head before heading toward the water and biting her bottom lip. She needed to get this dare over with. She took a deep breath and dove in before swimming to the bottom and grabbing a shell and swam back to the surface. She put a spell on it that would tell Blaze exactly how she had gotten it and then put it in her bag. She was dripping wet but at least her dare was over with.

[Sirius Black]

Sirius groaned in absolute annoyance as he slipped behind a tree in the forbbiden forest. A shrill voice made him practically gag as it called him by a pet name that he rather despised. Si-Si. Who the fuck would call Sirius Black Si-Si? This girl actually. A rather annoying tall, skinny number that was very clingy. He'd bought her a butterbeer a few nights back at a Hogsmead visit as her friend and friend's boyfriend ditched her to go "else where". The poor thing had been in tears when Sirius found her.

So out of pure pitty - she was also nice, don't get him wrong - he had escorted her (arm and everything) to The Three Broomsticks where he bought her a butterbeer and sat with her like they had been old friends. He talked to her, keeping the conversation mild, yet charming and although he did look at an occasional female, he was very much a gentleman to the young lady that had been "stood up".

Too bad the bloody broad was crazy! She'd had a crush on him for ages, so she said, and after he had walked her to her common room - she was a Hufflepuff - she'd tried to kiss him like it had been a date. Of course, Sirius had turned and pretended he heard something so her lips only colided with his cheek in a wet slobber of an excuse for a kiss. Then he found out the girl was going around telling people that Sirius Black had taken her on a date and that he liked her! Now she was looking for him and chasing him all over the school.

He'd finally lost her in the forbbiden forest and as he boned it outside and toward the lake, he halted and nearly fell over as a tan beauty was emerging. His breath caught in his throat and he stared despite himself as she put a shell in her bag. Without a second thought he approached, merely yards way.

His thoughts?

Merlin I gotta talk to her!

[Katerina Marenda]

Katerina groaned as she looked at the shells that she had grabbed and then placed it back in the bag. Surprisingly she had gotten a gorgeous shell and hoped it was enough to make the dare complete and alright. She paced and pulled her hair back and ran her fingers through it while biting her lip.

Now on how to get all the way back into the castle soaking wet with a bag that held a magical shell in it. Pacing, she groaned as she thought of what could happen and wondered if all of the secret passages were still in the castle before smacking herself in the forehead. Of course they were still there! It was in the past and for crying out loud the Marauders had found most of them. Although Blaze, Harry and herself had found some more with the help of the Weasely clan. Good fun.

Katerina then rolled her eyes and smacked herself in the forehead before quickly grabbing her wand and drying herself with a wand and quickly setting up a barrier and getting dressed in the clothes that she had come in which was the school uniform only the skirt was shortened and the top was opened a little on the top.

Turning around she was about to pick up her bag when she saw someone walking toward her and not only was it someone important but it was Sirius Black. One of her most beloved mentors. She had befriended Sirius Black in the future when he escaped and had been the only person to actually believe him immediately and now, here she was looking at him and merciful Merlin was he bloody gorgeous. His hair fell softly into his eyes and his playful smile made her knees go weak.

She gulped and was about to start to walk away when she slipped on the slippery rocks and fell backward into the water. Her eyes went wide and her mouth opened and immediately swallowed a mouthful of lake water before her head slammed into the bottom of the lake and she slipped further into it, her vision blurring. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head before she lost consciousness and hoped someone would help her.

[Sirius Black]

Sirius was a terrible, terrible young man. He couldn't keep his eyes from wandering, nor his fingers from twitching slightly, practically demanding that they make contact with that olive skin before they broke off of him and made their way toward her themselves. Of course, Sirius knew how to play it cool and he merely pocketed his trembling hands. If anyone saw them, it might ruin his reputation for good. Sirius Black, actually get nervous around a member of the female population? Don't make him laugh. If anything, they should be trembling under his gaze.

Yes, self admittedly, the bugger was a git. He knew it, several members of the female population knew it, and eventually, this beautiful young creature here would take notice of it too. It wasn't that he made a bad boyfriend or anything. He could be caring and oh how he could...well you get the picture. His problem was that he had no sense of romance or chivalry. In some cases, he needed to come first. It was mostly his best mates, though.

He had to stand a girl up if one of them needed him for any reason at all. As for girls wanting to have a romantic date on a certain night a month, he couldn't do it. He couldn't just let James and Peter deal with Remus' "time of the month" alone. He may not have been romantic or much of a gentleman, but that didn't make him a bad person. Why, talking to James or Remus, they'd say he was just like a lovable fur ball.

The doggish smile caught his face as the girl took notice of him. He gave a small gesture as if to say "Well hello there," and was startled to see her stumble and fall into the lake. He paused, momentarily shocked, before the smarter part of him told him to dive. So, like the hero he was, he stripped of his robe as he boned it toward the lake. By the time he was at the edge, his shirt, socks and shoes had left him as well, leaving him in a pair of black trousers.

Without a second thought, he dived and swam his hardest to meet the girl below. It had taken him a moment to find her, but when his fingers made contact with wet skin, he grabbed at her, hosting her against him. Fighting and kicking, he managed to surfaced and head toward the lake edge. Scrambling on it, the girl on his back, he slipped and slid his way beside a pile of his clothing. There, he attempted to wake the girl.

"Hello! Hello? Can you hear me? Wake up!" his hand tapped her cheek, firmly, trying to get her eyes to open.

[Katerina Marenda]

Katerina found herself going in and out of consciousness and tried to move her arms only to discover that she couldn't and tried to breathe only to take mouthfuls of water down into her throat again. She tried kicking or anything but nothing happened and suddenly she felt fingers wrap around her and she wanted to struggle in fear of them being grindylows or whatever those spindly little creatures were.

But then she noticed that the fingers were soft and like a man's hands, yeah brilliant observation and almost hoped that it wasn't Sirius Black. Partially for her ego so that she didn't owe Sirius Black anything. Mostly because he was an arrogant jerk when he was younger, well from what she heard. Suddenly she felt her body slip away and she fell unconscious again.

"Hello! Hello? Can you hear me? Wake up!"

She woke to the feeling of water still in her lungs and Sirius' familiar husky voice and the feeling of him tapping on her cheek. He actually sounded worried. Groaning, she coughed and tiredly rolled onto her side and spit out a load of lake water before groaning again. Lake water hurt like a bitch coming back up. Her eyes fluttered open and she tried to sit up only to barely hold herself up on one arm and reply painfully,

"Uh yeah I can hear you....thanks for saving me....."
