Chapter 174: Secrets
"They went in there?" Remus looked at the door of the building as he hid behind a wooden box.
"The Golden Pegasus…is that really a restaurant? Never heard of it," Peter muttered.
"You haven't?. It is a famous place in Hogsade." Marleene said.
"Yes, I also know about it…" Sirius said. "My parents go there once or twice a year. It's the fanciest restaurant in Hogsade."
"That seems outside the budget for most students. Although I can imagine Malfoy going in there," Remus comnted.
"I wish a certain soone would take there one day..." Marleen comnted, earning a glance from Sirius. "I was joking!"
"That's good, because I would need like a hundred allowances to reserve a table," Sirius responded.
"Why would Jas go to such a place? I thought he was working hard selling potions because he needed money for so secret project. Now he is wasting a fortune on a fancy date?." Peter seed to recall hearing sothing like this months ago.
"If he can afford a al in there, he is no longer hurting for money. I can assure you of that," Sirius said.
"I don't think he needed to try that hard to date Lily. She seed to be very into him the last ti I checked," Marleen added.
"My birthday is next month," Peter comnted. "You think Jas would take t—ahhh!" He suddenly let out a scream.
Sirius and Remus snapped their heads to look at what had startled their friend so much.
"What are you doing here?!" Sirius exclaid when he spotted his three cousins standing behind them.
Androda had a mischievous grin on her face, as she was the one who had startled Peter by grabbing his shoulder.
"Sorry about that. Didn't think the little one was going to get so jumpy."
"Im not little!." Peter complained.
"Well..." Marleen made a complicated expression.
"Would you lower your voice? We don't want anyone to see what we are doing," Bella huffed.
"Then we shouldn't stand here…" Narcissa added.
"Were you also following Jas?" Peter asked.
"Not that we were doing that…" Remus gave him a glare. "We just saw our friend by chance and got curious about where he was going with his dat—"
"It's not a date!" Bella's narrowed eyes landed on Remus, making the boy very uncomfortable.
"What's her problem?..." Marleen whispered to Sirius's ear.
This one returned a gesture as if he was saying 'not now!.'
"Whatever that is…Jas chose a very nice place this ti." Androda let out a whistle.
"Lucius took there once," Narcissa comnted with a grin on her face, rembering the good tis. "It was so amazing! That is the most exclusive restaurant in Hogsade, and they normally don't let students eat there." She said with a smug grin on her face.
"That ans Jas must have dropped a large bag of galleons to get inside," Androda said.
"That's it! I'm going inside." Bella pushed Peter and Remus aside.
Her two sisters had to restrain her while Marleen, Remus, and Peter watched in confusion, as they didn't know why Bella was so angry.
"Hold on, Bella. Let's not rush into things," Androda told her.
"Yes, don't make a scene. That is beneath our status," Narcissa grumbled.
"I need to know what is going on." Bella glared at her sisters.
"Would you stop already?" Sirius got in front of her. "This is not what you think. Jas only asked Lily to co here so he could talk with her properly, about…"
"You know sothing about this." Bella grabbed Sirius's robes. "Tell ."
"Yes, tell us." Marleen was extrely curious about it.
"If I say this...you have to keep quiet about it." Sirius glanced at his girlfriend.
"Hey!, I can keep a secret." Marleen huffed.
"You can?." Remus didn't look too convinced.
Sirius sighed. "Fine..." He knew that if he didn't calm his cousin down, she was bound to get violent. "Jas wanted to make things clear to Lily so she wouldn't be hurt."
"Hold on, what do you an by getting hurt?" Peter looked confused.
"Yes, what are you talking about? Jas has been obsessed with that girl since the first year," Marleen added.
"Jas cannot date Lily. Or anyone else for that matter," Sirius responded. "He wanted to tell her in person, before she heard it from soone else."
"Tell her what?" Remus gave the three girls a passing glance. He was starting to put the pieces together already.
"Sirius, you can't tell them anything," Narcissa warned him.
Sirius snapped at her. "Like you didn't already tell Malfoy about it."
Narcissa looked surprised. "How did you…no, but Lucius is not like that. He will not reveal it to anyone."
"This is getting confusing…" Peter said.
"Is Jas engaged to one of them?" Remus finally asked.
"What?!" Marleen exclaid. "Is that true?."
The three sisters appeared to be shocked, Sirius, however...was grinning.
"I knew you would figure it out."
Remus cleared his throat. "I read a bit about pureblood family customs. Arranged marriages are still a common thing. Although I didn't think the Potters would use them…much less with a house like the Blacks."
"Sothing wrong with our house?" Narcissa huffed.
"Careful there. Don't insult my family," Androda added.
"That was not my intention," Remus corrected himself. "It's just that your views are very different in so many matters…" His eyes went to Bella. "It's you, isn't it? Jas is engaged to you." That would explain why she was so upset about Jas being with Lily, and it would also explain what Sirius had said the previous week, when Jas disappeared.
"Oh! He is engaged to Bellatrix Black?!" Peter said with shock.
"Shut up, or I will do it myself." Bella pointed her finger at Peter in a nacing manner.
"Shh! Lower your voices," Androda told them while looking around.
Luckily for them, not many students wandered into this part of the village, so there was little cause for concern.
"Sorry…" said Peter. "It was just very shocking news."
"You can say that again..." Marleen glanced at Sirius.
"You can't tell anyone," Sirius warned her.
"I know!." Marlneen huffed.
"Seriously. You can't talk about this to anyone, is that clear?" Bella warned them.
"I understand," responded Remus.
"I was mostly referring to them." She pointed at Peter and Marleen.
"I won't say anything!" Peter cried.
" neither!." Marleen added.
"Peter can keep a secret. It's not him that I would be concerned about." Sirius gave his cousin Narcissa a passing glance.
"Hold on..." Marleen said. "What abo-"
"We can't all stay here." Sirius interrupted her. " We look too suspicious…" Three was one thing, but six people hiding behind a wooden box was too strange, and any adult who passed by was going to beco alard by it.
Androda pointed at the other side of the street. "There is a clothing shop over there. We can spend so ti trying on clothes while keeping an eye on the restaurant."
"That's a won's clothing shop," Sirius pointed out.
"It will be okay as long as you all co with us." Androda shrugged. "You can carry our bags afterwards. I could use a new dress."
"I want to see so shoes!" Narcissa beca excited all of a sudden.
