Late March 1978
A shrill shriek rang through the air, making Sirius look up from his spot by the tall willow.
The sight he saw pulled at his heartstrings in a way that confused him. Kelpie Jones was out on the Black Lake. Her hands were crossed behind her back and she was gliding effortlessly, with a smug grin on her face as Evans tried to catch up.
A small section of the frozen lake had been charmed to make for this muggle sport called ice-skating that she and Evans were apparently into. James had dragged him and the boys down, to follow the girls much to Sirius' annoyance. It was too cold for this. Remus agreed, preferring a cup of hot steaming cocoa back in their dorms but James had managed to convince them by mentioning a certain blonde which had made Remus blush.
Marlene had caught on to ice-skating rather quickly and had already managed to tackle Jones to the ground where she lay swatting her arms in a frenzy with a wide smile on her face. Her cheeks were red from the cold.
Even from his distance, Sirius noticed the snowflakes that fell on Jones' face and melted. At that moment he felt particularly jealous of the ones he could see landing on her lips. He frowned. Sixth-year in particular had been strange so far. He couldn't understand why Jones' date with Benjamin had bothered him. All he knew is that he wanted to sock the boy in the face for kissing her.
As if sensing his gaze Kelsey looked in their direction, looking straight at Sirius with a blank expression. She was still pissed at him for getting her that detention on her very first date. He broke out of his trance when Remus elbowed him and muttered something in his ear while glancing her way. Sirius focused on her and smirked.
'You're staring' he mouthed. He saw her roll her eyes and remove her glove. She then expressed her not-so-hidden disdain for him with the help of a certain finger which only fueled his need to annoy her.
He got up, deciding to make his way over and do that in person when he saw a figure skate up to her from behind and jump-scare her. He clenched his fist at how pathetic Benjamin Macdonald was acting in his effort to gain her attention. He didn't see the irony.
Forgetting him, Jones turned to give the Prefect her undivided attention.
She smiled at Macdonald with that exhilarated look, one that showed she was happy to see him. Even though it wasn't directed at him, Sirius couldn't deny how her face lit up and how it did things to his insides he didn't appreciate. Deciding that he had seen enough, he instead gathered his belongings and made up an excuse to head back inside.
"I reckon, I haven't seen anything that pathetic, ever."
Sirius stopped in his tracks for he knew that voice.
