She nodded, and turned to Lily, "Be right back."
Sirius led her out of the Great Hall and down a deserted corridor, "Jamie."
"Yeah?"
"I don't think we're working out anymore," he said quietly.
"What?"
"I just don't…" his voice trailed off.
"Don't what, Sirius?" Jamie asked angrily.
"It's just, there's nothing there anymore."
"Nothing there?"
"There's no spark anymore, it's dead flame."
"What the hell if that supposed to mean?"
"It's not…fun anymore."
"Fun? Serious relationships aren't always fun!" Jamie snapped.
"I-It's not like we're ever going to be really serious," Sirius stammered.
"Oh, okay, we're never going to be serious, and you decided this when?"
"Jamie, listen--"
Jamie cut him off, "Don't bloody tell me to listen, Lily's right, you are a prat that doesn't care about anyone's feelings."
"Jamie, come on…"
"Come on, Sirius? We've been dating for seven months Sirius, seven months! And you tell me to come on?"
"Jamie, come on, we never were really a serious couple, and we knew we wouldn't last."
Jamie stared at him for a second before turning away and walking out the hall, at the turn, she stopped, and without looking behind her she said, "I didn't know we wouldn't last, and thought we were a serious couple."
Flashback"God, I hate Potter," Jamie heard Lily mutter as they 'escaped' James Potter's latest plan to capture Lily's heart.
"Oh, he's not that bad," Jamie replied as they turned the corner to go to the library.
"You're right, he's not as bad as Black."
Jamie blushed as Lily referred to her current crush, Sirius Black. "Black's not that bad either," Jamie said back, trying to hide her red face with the hair.
"Right, he's just got that annoying group of girls chasing after him," Lily shuddered, "and each time he goes out with one, he breaks her heart. Jamie, he is a heartless prat that doesn't care about anyone's wants or feelings except his own. At least Potter never throws himself at girls like Sirius does."
Jamie couldn't deny that, for it was true.
Two Weeks Later…"So, Jamie, wanna go to Hogsmeade with me?" Sirius asked, leaning casually over the table Lily and Jamie were studying at.
Jamie lifted an eyebrow, surprised, "I'd love to."
Sirius broke out in a grin, showing each of his perfectly white teeth, "So, Common Room at nine?"
"Yeah, definitely."
"Great, I'll see you then," he paused, "Or rather, I'll see you in Charms before that, but after Charms, I'll see you then—er—or rather, the day after Charms, I'll see you—er—never mind," he stuttered, blushing.
Jamie grinned, "Yeah, see you in Charms, then the Common Room the next day."
"Right," He said, and he hurried away.
"Jamie?" Lily said, Jamie turned to look at her, "What did you just do?"
"I just said 'yes' when Sirius asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him," Jamie broke out into a grin.
"And you started liking him, when?"
"A long time ago."
"And were you ever going to tell me?"
"Nope."
One Month Later…
They were the 'it' couple. The couple that flirted during meals, held hands under the tables in classes, kissed each other in the hallways, said sweet things and sent short little love notes to each other. The couple that never left the others side; during classes they sat beside each other, during meals they would take food off the others plate, while they studied they helped each other, side-by-side. Always side-by-side…
