Sirius strolled into The Leaky and ordered a firewhisky on the rocks from the bar. He was dressed casually, a dark button-down with rolled up sleeves with black jeans and his motorcycle boots. He took a sip of his drink when Tom passed it to him, and then headed over to the posted winners to see who'd won him, and if he'd gotten who he bid on.

He smiled when he saw that Ron had won him. He hadn't seen Ron in a while, and it would be fun to hang out, although he'd have to keep his hands to himself, seeing as Ron and Neville were rather attached. And he'd won... Chambers. Whoever that was. And money, apparently. Well, at least he didn't have to go out with this mystery person. And money was nice, since Sirius was still looking for a permanent job. He'd bid on Bill, since he hadn't seen him in a while, but apparently that had been screwed up in the "magical mishap."

Tracey was on the list as well, and Sirius clenched his fists when he saw who had one her. Severus Bloody Fucking Snape. Sirius was not happy at all with Tracey having any kind of contact with that bastard. Granted, Snape was married and popping out arse babies with Remus, but that didn't make Sirius feel any better. He'd kill Snape if he so much as laid a hand on Tracey during that date.

Sirius took a deep breath and decided to save that threat for when Snape was actually in the room. He looked around to see who else had come tonight, and was pleased to see Tracey standing over by the bar with a woman he didn't recognize. He took another drink and decided to wait a bit before coming over there, to just watch her. He'd never seen her with friends before, or in public, for that matter, and it was interesting to see how she interacted with the rest of the world.

After having taken a look at the notice board, Penny let her eyes roam over the other people in the pub. She noticed Romilda Vane - she'd have to talk to her before the evening was over with concerning her having, er, 'won' her. But then her eyes fell on a very attractive looking man by himself. She thought she recognized him from somewhere, just wasn't sure where. Oh - wait. Sirius Black, her head told her suddenly. Percy had mentioned him.

Walking over to him, she smiled slightly. "Hi. It's... Sirius, isn't it? Black? I thought I recognized you from somewhere. One of my close friends told me quite a bit about you. I'm Penny by the way. Isn't it funny how mixed up all the bidding got?" Smiling, she threw one last look at the board.

[olddognewtrick]

Sirius watched the redheaded woman approach him. She looked vaguely familiar. Wasn't she Percy's ex from Hogwarts? Well, that had been a while ago, and she wasn't a schoolgirl anymore. He glanced at Tracey, who was still talking to another woman, and then back at Penny.

"Nice to meet you, Penny. It is pretty funny, although I can't say I'm too happy with some of the winning bids." Namely, one by Severus Sodding Snape, "I may have to have a little talk with the organizers, if they decide it's safe to show their faces here."

"Say, didn't you used to date Percy Weasley?"

[prefect_penny]

Penny nodded, glad to have his attention. "I have to agree, some of them did come out rather... unfavorable," she agreed, noting Percy having won a 'fancy dinner date with Parvati Patil and frowning. "I wonder if we're allowed to trade with people?"

When she heard Percy's name mentioned, she nodded again. "Yes, that's actually how I knew about you. Percy talked about you quite a bit." Then, as an afterthought she added, "But that was eight years ago. I'm just glad we're still good friends."

[olddognewtrick]

Sirius frowned. "Somehow, I doubt they'd be so kind to us."

Tracey caught his eye and blew him a kiss, and he winked at her.

"Then, I guess we have something in common," he said with a smile, "I think he mentioned you a few times in passing. I haven't seen him in a while though, I've only just got back in town after being gone for several months." He hadn't exactly sought percy out, because he didn't quite know what to say. They'd been on good terms when Sirius skipped town, but he wasn't too sure what Percy would think now that he was back.

He looked over at Tracey again, and motioned for her to come over. She hadn't looked particularly happy to see him with Penny (something which secretly made Sirius quite glad), and it might appease her to see that their conversation was perfectly innocent.

[tracey_schemes]

Tracey listened to Romilda and arched a brow. "You're going home to write on a Friday night? You must dearly love your job, though I suppose that's rewarding."

Sirius winked at her and motioned towards his end of the bar. She considered being stubborn and making him come to her but decided she had no reason to be jealous since a few shags didn't give her such a right. "I think they'd like for us to join them," she pointed out to Romilda before she slid off the stool. "Shall we?"

She prowled through the crowd until she reached Sirius. She glanced at the redhead and smiled politely. "Good evening," she said before she focused on him. She grinned wickedly as she stepped closer and leaned up to lightly nip his bottom lip. "Fancy meeting you here."

[olddognewtrick]

Sirius smiled and gave Tracey a proper kiss, at least proper for being in public, before placing a hand on the small of her back and turnign back to Penny. He'd missed her since their weekend, and had been planning on owling her about this weekend, or possibly just stopping by to see if she was free for a midnight ride and a shag.

"Penny, I don't know if you're met Tracey. She's, uh," he didn't quite know what to call her. A friend? A lover? A fuck-buddy? They certainly weren't at the level of 'girlfriend and boyfriend.' "a good friend of mine."

"Penny and I were just discussing old boyfriends. Or, boyfriend in this case. I don't suppose you've shagged Percy Weasley as well, have you?"

[tracey_schemes]

Tracey was pleasantly surprised when Sirius kissed her, but she returned it, careful to keep it appropriate since they were in a crowded public place. She pulled back and brushed his hair away from his face before she turned to look at the woman he was introducing.

The feel of his hand on her back was nice, though the thin material of her dress prevented her from feeling skin against skin. She bit her lip to keep from laughing when he stumbled over how to introduce her. A good friend was different and she liked it.

"No, we've not met," she said. "Nice to meet you, Penny."

She arched a brow and glanced at Sirius when he mentioned an old boyfriend, grinning as she gave him a 'we're going to talk about that later' look. "Percy Weasley? Let me think," she drawled as she gave the matter serious consideration. "No, I can't say that I've shagged any of the Weasleys. Why, should I look him up?"

[prefect_penny]

Logical, Penny told herself, somewhat sourly noting their kiss and his hand on the small of her back. "It's very nice to meet you, too. I've heard quite a bit about you, actually. Tracey... yes. Can't remember where, though," she commented, trying to think.

"Percy?" Penny asked, trying not to smirk. "I doubt you'll get very far, regretfully. Heaven knows I've tried recently and failed miserably. I'm afraid he's not quite over his last... uh, relationship." Smiling at Tracey, Penny ralized that being able to say as much made her happier than she wanted to admit. If she couldn't have Percy, no one should. Or something like that.

[olddognewtrick]

Sirius wasn't quite sure what to make of Tracey's reaction to his having shagged a man. She seemed intrigued, at least, and not too upset, which was a good sign. His hand shifted a bit lower, till he could feel the beginning of the curve of her arse, and rubbed absentmindedly with his thumb. He'd noticed a few other men looking at Tracey, and was feeling a little bit territorial over her. Padfoot would have pissed on her leg and then growled at anyone who passed by, but Sirius found that humans tended to appreciate more subtle signs.

"That doesn't surprise me, really," Sirius said, looking at Penny, "She's really gotten under his skin. At least, she had when I last saw him. It's been several months now, I wonder what he's up to."

[tracey_schemes]

Tracey wasn't entirely sure she liked this Penny chit. True, she didn't actually like many people, but there was something about this woman that rubbed her the wrong way. Maybe it was the fact that she'd been practically hanging all over Sirius that led Tracey to dislike her.

When Sirius slid his hand lower and rubbed his thumb against her, she smiled and leaned against him. She casually ran her hand down his chest and beneath the bottom hem of his shirt so she could lightly scratch his belly.

"Well, it's a good thing that I've got my hands full with this one," she drawled as she smiled at Penny. Who wanted some Weasley when she had Sirius? Well, not that she had him, really, but he seemed to be hers for now and that was good enough for the time being.

[prefect_penny]

"Oh yes, I can see that very clearly," Penny replied cooly, not too impressed with this girls' views of public displays of affection. Not too tasteful, this one was. "Must be nice," she drawled, raising an eyebrow in mock-disdain.

No, she could very clearly see that she had overdone her stay here. And her friendly reception to boot. "Well, I'll leave you two to... well, whatever it is you do. Excuse me." Slipping by them, she decided it most certainly was time to have a drink at the bar. Well, that, and hadn't she wanted to speak to Romilda Vane considering the auction anyway? Yes, that sounded decent.

[olddognewtrick]

"Nice to have met you, Penny," Sirius called after her, smirking. He turned to Tracey, his smile softening.

"Marking your territory, are you?" He still didn't have a word for what they were to each other, but it was definitely past the stage of 'just a shag.' "It's good to see you," he said softly, leaning down to kiss her bare neck.

He glanced over at the list of winners, and the other people scrutinizing it. "I think I did alright with my bids, but there seem to be more than a few unhappy people. They really bollocksed things up, didn't they."

[tracey_schemes]

"Well, she was an uptight priss," Tracey observed as Penny walked away. "And she wonders why that Percy bloke didn't want a shag."

She looked up and smiled sheepishly. "Caught me, huh?" she murmured as she moved her hand a little higher along his ribs. It was nice to feel his skin and reminded her that it had been days since she had. "Sorry. Don't know what came over me."

His hair insisted that she run her fingers through it so who was she to disobey? She reached up and touched it as he bent down to kiss her neck. "Good to see you, too."

At his mention of the auction, she made a face. "I'm not particularly thrilled about who bought me," she admitted with a grimace. "It's my former Professor, and I never really cared for him too much. I guess I should be glad that I offered something that doesn't necessarily require conversation. I won someone that I know in passing so that shouldn't be too bad. What did you get?"

[olddognewtrick]

Tracey's hand felt nice, inching up inside his shirt, but Sirius had to be careful to keep his mind on more tame things, since they were in public. She made him feel a bit like a teenager, what with how easily she got his motor running.

"I don't mind, exactly," he said fondly as she ran her fingers through his hair. "I think I like this side of you."

He was definitely pleased that she looked upset about getting Snape. "I'm not happy about who you got either. Snape and I aren't friends by any means, and I may have to have a little chat with him before I let him near you." Sirius wasn't a particuarly jealous bloke, but Snape seemed to bring out those instincts quite clearly in him.

"Ron Weasley won me, which should be fun. He's a good bloke," he smiled at Tracey, hoping to head off any jealousy on her part, "practically married, you know."

[tracey_schemes]

"You do?" She studied him a moment and leaned up to kiss him lightly. Things were becoming more complicated, she realized. This wasn't just random shagging. She'd actually felt jealous of that woman and would have gladly shagged Sirius right there at the bar to show everyone that he was hers. When she pulled back, she whispered against his lips, "I'm glad you like me."

She stepped back and let her hand slide out from beneath his shirt before she found herself to a point where stopping might not be so easy. She was surprised that he knew Professor Snape and certainly more so that he seemed jealous...of Professor Snape.

When he mentioned having a little chat with Snape before letting him near her, she grinned. "Now who's marking their territory?" she teased as she caressed his cheek. "You know, you don't have to worry. Besides the fact that Snape is definitely not interested in women, I wouldn't touch him like that."

She nodded. "I remember Ron Weasley from school. He was one of Potter's friends so it was impossible to not know of them back then. Practically married, you say? That's good. Guess I won't have to have a talk with him, then, before I let him near you. Who did you win? Any need for me to mark you, thoroughly, before you keep that date?"

Tracey sat on the vacated stool next to him and moved her legs around his waist to urge him closer. She kissed his jaw before she whispered in his ear, "I'm not what you'd call a jealous person but you seem to bring it out in me."
