Prompt: But seduction isn't making someone do what they don't want to do. Seduction is enticing someone into doing what they secretly want to do already. -Waiter Rant

Summary: Sirius shows off his new toy to his girlfriend.
Notes: I do not own these characters. They and their world are the property of JK Rowling. Deirdra is an original character not of my creation; she’s at deirdra36 and was created by crescent_gaia, so I don’t own her either. I’m just borrowing her. The girlfriend bit is considered AU (since it’s never mentioned in canon that he had one), but the motorbike bit is canon.
They’d agreed to meet at the Leaky Cauldron. Rather, he’d sent her a note that read simply, I have something I want to show you. Meet me outside the Leaky Cauldron in an hour. As he approached the building, he was pleased to see her distinctive red hair standing outside. He pulled up to the curb in front of her and killed the motor on his motorbike.
“What do you think?” he asked. “I just bought it.”
Deirdra put a hand on her hip. “I thought you were going to buy a house with that money.”
“I did.” He brushed some imaginary dirt off the handlebar. “I bought this too.”
“When I got your note, I thought you were going to show me your house.”
“I am. This is how we’re getting there.” He took a helmet off the seat behind and held it out to her. “Come on.”
She stood there for a moment not moving. He didn’t move either.
“You’re serious.”
“Yes, I am. Thank you for remembering. I’m also asking you to get on this bike.” He waited while she rolled her eyes at him. “I promise I won’t let anything happen to you.”
She took the helmet and put it on, climbing on the back of the bike. “I can’t believe you bought a motorbike.”
“It’s not just a motorbike,” he said as he waited for her to get situated behind him.
“What did you do?” she asked him in that ‘what have you done now’ tone that he usually only heard from Remus.
“You’ll see,” he said. “It’ll have to wait until we get out of London, to someplace where no one can see us.”
“Oh no.”
“It’s perfectly safe,” he assured her.
“Sirius, you always say that.”
“So?”
“So most of the time it’s not.”
He grinned. “Time to go. Hang on tight.” In the mirrors on the sides of the bike, he’d just seen his brother and a couple of his friends approach the Leaky Cauldron, probably on their way to Diagon Alley. Deirdra grabbed him from behind as he turned the bike back on and pulled into traffic.
It only took twenty minutes to make it outside of London to an area where there was no one around to see them. “Hold on tight!” he yelled over his shoulder. “It’s time to show you what this can really do!” He reached down and flipped a switch. When he did so, the bike rose off the ground, still moving forward.
The bike could fly.
“Sirius Black, what are you doing?!”
“It’s faster this way!” He turned the bike to fly over land and said nothing as the countryside passed along below them. He seemed at home on the bike already, like flying on it was natural to him. Deirdra figured that it wasn’t that different from flying on a broom.
He landed the bike on an empty road outside a small town near London. A few minutes later he pulled up outside a small cottage with a nice garden in front and turned the bike off. She got off and pulled the helmet, glad to be back on the ground.
“So what do you think?”
“Do I need to warn Lily about this?”
“She already knows,” he said as he got off the bike too, “and she’s already forbidden James to buy one. Remus already knows too, and has informed me that he’s determined to stay on the ground. Something about not wanting to break his neck. Although I meant about the house.”
She turned around to look at it. “Well, at least you know how to pick those.”
He rolled his eyes. “You had fun. I didn’t hear you complain once.”
“Okay, fine, you’re right, I had fun. More than just a little, actually. Can we do that again?”
He grinned. “Anytime you want.”
