*Steph (evil twinne )*

Awww. Someone is jealous! But could Sirius be jumping to conclusions? *wants to find out* Keep those chapters coming <3!

I do love how Sirius is just focused on that one girl, yet she seems to resist his charms....It makes for a very intriguing story

Bwaha, I was lured here by the Cookie herself, and I am SO here to stay

PS: I go by the name 'Did someone say Siry?' [pokes Niky]


First off... Any FF that has Siry in it, like Nina said, has my vote, haha. But you write him, and the Marauders, awesomely. I love their interactions!

And Emily seems pretty nice, too... almost too nice for Sirius , which is a good change. =D

-pokes the Ravenclaw boy-

Could the incredibly talented Sirius Black actually have competition? -gasp-

Relieve us of that doubt soon, Cookie, please ;]

I loved it! Ravenclaw eh? ! ! Darn those Ravies and their drop dead gorgeous looks. XD

“You know, I usually find the ashes quite boring,” came a smug voice accompanied with a ‘thump’ as James jumped over the edge of the couch in front of the fire to take a seat beside Sirius. The common room was quiet; the fire long gone even if a little light remained in the room. Sirius sat on the couch looking at what had once been a flaming fire, a book on his lap as his excuse to stay up late. He wouldn’t admit it, but his friend had truly startled him.

“Oh I was just-er… where is everyone?” he came out of his thoughts to discover the common room was empty other than him and Prongs.

He laughed and checked his wrist watch. “Well, you see, at about one thirty in the morning, most people are in bed,” he commented quite casually, although his smirk gave him away.

Sirius’ eyes grew wide. “One thirty—?! How is that possible?!” he exclaimed, amazed at how much time had passed by. He had sat down there at nine!

“Well see, when the second hand reaches the twelve, it becomes a minute. And when the minute hand reaches the twelve again, it’s an hour. And when the hour hand reaches the one point and the minute on the six point, then it becomes one thirty…” His voice was childish and playful, mocking Sirius. After all, he couldn’t be too immature around Lily anymore.

Sirius’ eyes had narrowed to glare at his friend, clearly not amused. He turned to look at the ashes again, effectively just realizing there was nothing left there anymore but a few burning bits.

“So what’s on your mind, mate? It’s not like you’re actually reading,” he pointed out as he pulled the book on his lap and turned it over. Apparently, he had been reading upside down. “And there doesn’t seem to be a girl to snog hiding somewhere,” he craned his neck to look around and under the coffee table where there was, in fact, no one. “And you can’t tell me the couch is better than the beds…”

“Do you remember that Ravenclaw Robin or whatever his name was? The one we blamed that potions disaster on?” Sirius suddenly asked, straightening up in his seat to look at his friend.

James thought for a minute, but a sudden grin broke into his features that told anyone he remembered that huge explosion in the potions dungeons. “Robbie, yeah I remember him. What about him?”

“He likes Emily.”

There was a mere silence, in which Prongs expected him to go on, but nothing more came. “So?”

“She likes him.”

“Again, so?”

Sirius raised an eyebrow at him. “So, I’ve been trying to get that girl’s attention all week with no avail, this guy sweeps in and in a moment she’s flirting with him back? It sounds like I lost my touch to a Ravenclaw,” he pointed out.

James almost laughed. “Do you mean that?” he asked, somewhat surprised. “Robbie always does that. Don’t you pay attention? He’s always wanted that sixth year… what’s her name? Paula? I think that’s it. She always rejects him, so he tries at a new girl so he can get over her and always comes crawling back to Paula. She must have him under some spell or something because he can never get away. No matter what girlfriend he finds, in a week he dumps her to try again with Paula. A bit sad, I think,” James murmured a bit absentmindedly.

Sirius blinked. This guy was about to get Emily’s hopes up, maybe date her for a week or two, then dump her? And people called Sirius heartless.

He, however, had a perfectly good reason to get a chance with Emily. If she was heartbroken over some other boy, he could give her a shoulder to cry on. He smirked. That sounded brilliant!

James raised an eyebrow at him at the grin that had suddenly overcome Sirius’ features. Although, soon, he laughed. “I don’t know mate, last time Paula rejected him it was quite harsh. And he even began dating another girl before Emily… it didn’t last, but he didn’t go back to Paula,” he pointed out, able to quite clearly make out his friend’s thoughts.

“It’s worth a try,” Sirius said with that same wicked grin as he closed the book on his lap and began to walk towards the staircase to the bedrooms. “Well, are you coming?” he asked over his shoulder at James, but before he got a reply, he had vanished up the steps. He’d surely have no problem sleeping tonight.

~*~

“You—you are simply unbelievable!” Emily exclaimed in a surprising rage. “How could you! Don’t you know any better? Haven’t you been taught manners?”

Sirius blinked, surprised. Out of everything he had thought would happen today, this was definitely not it.

“I don’t want you near me anymore if you’re going to say such things about my boyfriend. I trust him, I know he’s honest and I know how horribly heartbroken he has been before. I don’t think it is very nice of you to try to badmouth him so you could try to break us up. So please, leave me alone unless you approach me to apologize,” she claimed as she gave him one last glare before she walked away from him and down the hallway hurriedly.

Sirius was left stunned. He had just tried to warn her about Robbie’s past so she wouldn’t be so hurt, but it had absolutely backfired on him. She had accused him of spreading lies about him and trying to give him a bad name, and as Sirius tried to clarify he was just trying to help she had blown up all over again. Apparently, that was not help, that was just lies and rudeness, at least according to her.

Little firecracker, wasn’t she?

Sirius had to smirk at his own thought. Somewhat hurt that he had been yelled at in such a manner when his intentions were good… or somewhat good, but he didn’t let that damp his spirits. The only thing that seemed to have truly impacted him was the mention of one thing in her entire speech.

Boyfriend?

's Emily! He's only trying to tell you that he cares about you, doofus! *sigh* It's okay, Sirius... I still love you!

~*~.:.~*~

Grey eyes surveyed the Great Hall, or just the Slytherin table. They were watching for a blonde; dead straight long hair and light blue eyes. Sirius might not enjoy talking to Slytherins, but he had been told that this Paula girl was one of them, and something needed to be done about the situation. He wasn’t surprised she was a Slytherin either, considering the way he had heard she rejected Robbie. He’d find a way to make her see.

His eyes finally fell on a girl with a similar description of what Peter had told him, and thankfully; she was alone. Sighing softly, Sirius forced himself to walk up to the girl. He took a seat across from her, earning him a couple of glares from other surrounding Slytherins, including Paula herself.

“Paula, right?” was the first thing he said, just to make sure.

“What’s it to you?” she said coldly, putting away the book she was reading.

“I wanted to talk to you about something…”

“I don’t talk to Gryffindors.”

“Well I want to talk to you about a Ravenclaw. Does that change things?”

Her eyes narrowed. She seemed to examine him for a moment of hesitation, wondering. “Which Ravenclaw?”

“Robbie… er—something…”

“Robert Moraes? Yeah, I know him. What about him?” She had suddenly become quite interested, curious as to what Sirius was proposing even if he had barely said all that much.

“I want to know why you won’t give him a chance,” Sirius replied casually. Maybe he could propose a way to Robbie to get him back on Paula.

She, instead, furrowed her brow. She seemed almost insulted before something clicked in her mind and laughed.

“Oh-Oh yeah, he’s umm-… He’s just very clingy,” she said dramatically. She was lying. And Sirius could tell.

“What’s the real reason?” Sirius asked casually, although a little annoyed.

“I said he’s clingy. Are you calling me a liar?” she spat, that cold look in her blue eyes coming back. Thank Merlin her eyes were a different shade than Emily’s.

“I don’t think that’s reason enough. And you don’t look very confident in it either,” Sirius pointed out. Why weren’t answers easy to get from Slytherins? Must they all be mysterious and annoying?

She seemed to consider him for a moment, examining him again in a new light. She leaned back in her seat, sipping her pumpkin juice as she debated over something. Finally, she leaned over the table again, her voice quieter.

“And if I tell you, you’ll leave me alone?”

“I guess so.”

“And you won’t tell anyone?”

“I guess not.”

“Give me real answers,” she spat rudely.

It was Sirius’ turn to glare at her. “Yes, I’ll leave you alone and no, I won’t tell anyone.” He corrected himself, annoyed even further. This better pay off, since he wasn’t very fond of being nice to someone so rude, specifically a Slytherin.

“I’ve been dating him for years now. It’s all been an act,” she said as casually as if she had asked him to pass the peas.

Sirius blinked, suddenly very puzzled. “What?”

“Well he’s very flattering. A rather excellent kisser as well. He just didn’t want to tell his buddies that he was dating a Slytherin, but everyone knew he already liked me so we proposed to make a whole scene about a breakup. He’d find himself another girl to cover up but he’d secretly be with me. Of course it eventually turned into a game for him. He always had two girls on his arm. I didn’t mind, I found it funny how the other girls thought they were his only one. They were all jealous of me. Well either way, each time his current cover up found out about me, they’d break up, and he’d come back as if we had never been together.

“I must admit, it’s very amusing how many people in the school believe that. We’ve been together for years now… it’s just so fun how many girls’ hearts he breaks. I don’t know how that silly hat could place him in Ravenclaw. He belongs in Slytherin with me,” she beamed proudly.

She took another sip of her juice before she put the glass down and picked up her books. “Anyways, it was a disgust talking to you, but I must go to class,” she spat as she just left him there as she walked down the hall.

Again, Sirius was left stunned. This was all a game. Emily was being used to hide another relationship. So not only was he using her, he was cheating on her. And she didn’t believe him!

He should talk to her again… but she wouldn’t listen to him… especially not now that she was so angry with him. But he was cheating on her! How was he supposed to help her if she wouldn’t listen?

Yay!! *loves it* I think this whole Paula and Robbie dating secretly thing is genius! I love it! Although... it'll break poor Emily's heart. <//3 It's okay... Sirius is still there, and he cares about you, too.


Another great post, sweetie. Post more soon! <3 PAMS PAMS PAMS!

*snickers at Robert's last name*

Four friends laughed and talked as they headed up the staircase towards Defense Against the Dark Arts after their Potions class, miraculously not only on time, but with time to spare. Sirius had let time pass since he had last spoken to the Slytherin, and as promised, he had not told anyone. He might not like them, but he was still true to his word, like any Gryffindor should be.

All he had to do when he saw them was clench his fists, seal his lips and walk away. Emily had requested he didn’t approach her, so he wouldn’t until he saw the right time. What else could he do? She would not listen to him even if he begged. Maybe one of her friends would find out the truth so she would not be hurt. For now, he had to move on and wait. His chance would come eventually, he was sure of it.

The four friends climbed the last couple of steps to reach the first floor and began to head down the corridor to class. Somewhere along the way, James had spotted Lily, and promised to catch up with his friends later. Typical of him. Not that any of them could blame him; they would all do the same for a girl they loved as much as James loved Lily.

They rounded a corner as they spoke of the latest Quidditch match, but just as they were about to go into class, Sirius’ grey eyes caught sight of someone running down a connecting hallway. It was a girl, since she was wearing a skirt, with her face hidden in her hands. But Sirius immediately recognized those bushy raven curls, and absolutely ignoring class, he set off in the direction of her shadow.

“Sirius! What are you doing?! You’ll be late for class!”

He heard it, but he didn’t quite care. At full force, he set off down the hall, exactly the way where Emily had been running from. He didn’t need to think it over; he knew why she was crying and what she was running from. She had caught them, for that was the only way her hard headed mind would understand that it was true; that it wasn’t a rumour. He admired her dedication to be so kind to Robbie, but Sirius was not kind to him at all. How dare he ever make her cry.

~*~

In a hidden corner behind the Astronomy section sat a sobbing girl, curled up tightly with her face hidden. Only her curls were distinguishable, only her sobs were heard. She had shooed her friends away, and any other visitor that wanted to know if she was okay. She didn’t want to talk to anyone.

Despite her requests and her friends staying almost like a guard around the place, a dark haired Gryffindor had made it past. His hands stuffed in his pockets, he sadly looked down on the girl without saying anything yet.

“Go away,” she half choked out through muffled sobs, her face hidden, but she could tell someone was there.

Sirius stayed silent for a moment or two before he bent down to her eye level. “You told me not to approach you unless it was to apologize, so… I’m sorry Emily,” he said quietly.

She seemed to have sniffled, but silence fell once more. Finally, in a much smaller voice than the one she had used before, she spoke up again. “What are you sorry for? This wasn’t your fault, was it?”

Sirius shook his head then stopped himself as he remembered she couldn’t see him. “It wasn’t my fault. But I knew he’d hurt you; I’m sorry that it happened. You don’t deserve to be used like that, or to be played with in any way. He was a git, and I’m sorry he had to be that way to you,” he murmured honestly.

Another brief silence. Sirius watched her quietly as she seemed to have calmed down, maybe pondering if his words were honest or if he was just trying to play with her too.

Finally, her eyes shyly looked up from her hidden confines. Her normally beautiful icy blue eyes were now puffy and red, her make up slightly runny as it seemed more tears were falling as she met his own grey eyes. They locked gazes for what could’ve been an eternity. She had the most beautiful eyes, whether they were irritated and teary or shining and sparkling with happiness. She seemed to have a beauty Sirius had never come across before.

“Do you mean that?” she asked quietly, her voice small and sounding like that of a young child.

Sirius gave her a slightly weak smile before he reached over so his thumb could brush away at least some of her tears. “I mean it.”

In a moment that had been too fast for Sirius to make out, she had reached out and pulled him to her, now resting her head on his shoulder as she began to cry again. Her arms had linked around his neck and she hid herself from the world on his shoulder, a fresh wave of tears soaking up his school uniform as new sobs began to leave her.

Sirius panicked. What had he done to make her cry like that?! His arms quickly wrapped around her trying to soothe her, afraid he had just made everything worse. “I-I’m sorry, I was just trying to help,” he stumbled.

A mix of a choke and something else left her, and after some analyzing in the back of his mind, he realized she had laughed; or meant to do so. “No… it’s okay… I’m just—upset… He was with another girl, did you know that? Right there in the hallway, snogging the living daylights out of her… I thought he cared about me…” she murmured, her words sometimes sounding more like a whimper.

“I’m really sorry, Emily. It wasn’t fair to you…” he replied softly, still holding her close to him so she wouldn’t yank him back like she had before. His hands were soothingly stroking her back, trying to make it better however he knew how.

After a few moments, Emily pulled away from him, giving him a gentle smile. Sirius could tell that she was thankful for his kind words.

“What happened to your hand?” she suddenly whispered, sniffling slightly.

“What?”

“Your hand; it’s bleeding.”

Sirius blinked as he looked down on the hand that had been resting on his knee, and realized that his knuckles were, indeed, bleeding. “Wow I didn’t realize that. It’s nothing,” he murmured as he wiped it off on his uniform cloak.

“What did you do?” she asked, a sudden tone of her own panic in her voice.

Sirius considered her question for a moment, but her tone of threatening panic somewhat forced the last bit of him to tell her the truth. “Oh, he he, um—Well I did take a while to get here, right? I was just having a … friendly talk with Robbie,” he said as innocently as he could muster.

Emily blinked at him, understanding perfectly; not many real words were exchanged then. There were two choices now. Either she’d praise his actions for trying to protect her, or she’d get angry with him all the further and never talk to him again.

Her eyes locked with his again. She was looking right through him, and in a weird sense, Sirius felt as if she were trying to analyze what he really thought. It took a breathless moment but finally, Emily’s face broke into a weak smile.

“Thank you,” she murmured quietly. Another chuckle left and she gently began to wipe away her tears. “I can’t believe you did that. You don’t even look hurt other than that,” she said quietly as she tried to fix herself up again.

“Yeah er--… well I get detention whether I was hurt or not,” he mumbled with the only intention of making her laugh. Which he achieved, or at least he got a small giggle.

She had fixed herself up again, wiping away her tears and hair to look somewhat presentable again. The two now lay in the hidden corner of the library, away from anyone else. He still thought she looked pretty, whether she was somewhat messy or not. She had perfectly blue icy eyes, which were still a bit red, to compliment her pitch black hair, making her look like an angel. She was an angel.

There was a silence, but it wasn’t uncomfortable and it wasn’t awkward. It was just them, alone but together where surely no one would bother them. He couldn’t have asked for a more perfect chance. Gently, he leaned in closer to give her the kiss he had been aching for since he had laid eyes on her all those weeks ago. Here was his chance. This was just what he had been waiting for.

But something went wrong, and she turned away. In fact, she grabbed her bag from the floor and got up herself, wiping the last bits of her tears. “I’m sorry Sirius, I just—I meant it when I said I wasn’t interested,” she said, slightly awkwardly as her eyes lowered to the floor.

But before Sirius could even register the words, she was speaking again. “But I have to go. I want to clean myself up and get my homework so… I guess I’ll see you around.” Shyly, although somewhat hurriedly, Emily walked away from him, turning the corner on the aisle they were sitting at and leaving the library soon after.

Sirius had never felt such a painful rejection.
