Sirius Black made his way inside the train, after being insulted multiple times by his mother. The boy looked paler than usual, because he was sick.
Once he was inside the train, he made his way to the compartment he shared with his friends - always passing by girls, and some boys, who were hitting on him. Soon enough, he got to his destination where he found his friends.
Peter who was getting ready to walk out and buy sweets, was the first to notice him.
"Sirius, where have you been? We were all worried." Peter smiled at his friend.
"Hey. Family stuff. The usual." Sirius said with a shrug, forcing a small smile.
"Do we need to kill Wally?" Delilah said as she got up and gave Sirius a hug. She noticed he was a bit warmer than usual, but said nothing.
"No. Thanks Lilah." Sirius said hugging her back. Then he sat beside her and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Seriously Sirius, no hug? No hi? I thought I was your boyfriend?!" James said, pretending he was offended.
"Well, right now I'm spending time with my girlfriend." Sirius said, sitting up. Then he winked at Delilah, "Sorry boyfriend."
James looked Delilah straight in the eyes and said, while trying not to laugh; "Don't you dare. Take my boyfriend. Away. From. Me."
Delilah replied, also trying to not laugh: "I promise."
James looked at Sirius once again.
"What is it?" Sirius asked.
"Seriously dude?"Sirius laughed and rolled his eyes.
"James how are you? I missed you so much! I can't believe I'm seeing you again, since last week. Seriously dude, I can't believe it."
"Now, that's better. That's how it's done." James said looking at Delilah and Remus, who was reading a book, and pretended to flip his hair. After that, Delilah flipped hers and looked at James.
"See. That's how you do it."
At those words everyone, except Remus who was way too focused on his book, started to laugh.
At that point Peter returned to the compartment, with his arms filled with candy
."I got everyones favorites." Peter said with a huge smile. At those words, Remus came back to reality.
"Chocolate Frog?"
"Yes, I got you a Chocolate Frog." Peter said, handing him the treat.
"You're the best, mate."
"Beeeeeeeeans?" Delilah said with a huge smile.
"Yes. Here." Peter said giving her the beans.
"Got pumpkin pasties for you Sirius."
"Thanks but I... I'm cool." Sirius said, giving a small smile.
"Oh... Ok. You can have them later, if you want."
"Yea. Maybe. Thanks mate."After that, Peter went to sit beside James and gave him his sweets.
"Are you ok?" Delilah asked Sirius.
"Yes. Why?"
"You just said no, to your favorite sweet.
""Yes. And..?"
"Sirius. It's your favorite. You never say no."
"I'm fine Lilah "Delilah raised her eyebrow, at those words.
"Lilah, I'm fine. Now eat your beans."Delilah was still looking at him. He forced a smile and she smiled back. Then she started to eat her laid his head on her shoulder again, after a while. Then she put her hand on his forehead.
"You're warm."
"I'm not warm. I'm hot." Sirius said, grinning.
"Yes yes. But, you are warm. Are you sure you're feeling okay?"
"I'm good. Not fully. But I'm good, okay?" He said, lifting his head once again and looking at Delilah's beautiful smiled.
"Alright. But say something if you start to feel worse, okay?"
Sirius nodded and laid his head on her shoulder again, while she laid her head on the top of his.
The friends started to talk about the summer break. James was telling them about how his father and him, had managed to go to one of the biggest quidditch games ever. Delilah told them about her one-week holiday in Paris with her parents. Remus simply said his summer holidays had been boring and he had nothing special to tell them. Peter said that his relatives stayed over for a week and that it had been fun.
"What about you?" James asked, looking at Sirius who had his eyes closed.
"Sirius?" He called again.
Delilah put her hand on his forehead again. He had gotten hotter.
"Damn." Delilah whispered.
"What is it?" James asked and put his hand on Sirius' forehead too, "Damn, he's burning."Delilah just nodded.
"I guess he's sick." Delilah said and James nodded.
They kept talking about whatever that came to their minds and kept eating their sweets. Except the pumpkin pasties. Suddently, Sirius woke up and James noticed.
"Hey mate." James said, giving a small smile.~
"Hey." Sirius said while rubbing his eyes.
"You feeling okay?" Delilah asked.
"I don't know. I can manage it."
"Sirius..."
"Delilah, I've been sick many times before. I can handle it, alright?" Sirius said a bit louder than he had intended to, "Sorry."
"It's alright." She said and gave him a small smile.
"Sorry. Really." He said with tired eyes.
"It's alright. Now, don't look at me that way, please." She said with a grin.
"It's the only way I can look. Now if you'll excuse me." Sirius got up and got out of the compartment. Then he walked down the hall.
A while after Sirius left, Marlene Mckinnon showed up at the compartment door.
"Thompson." She said to Delilah.
"McKinnon."
"You're not with your boyfriend. You can come with me." Marlene went in and pulled Delilah by the hand. Delilah, who was used to that, let herself be pulled by her best friend.
"Hey! Where are you taking her?" James asked, as he was enjoying the conversation about quidditch, he was having with Delilah.
"To a girls meeting." Marlene simply said.
"To a what?" Delilah asked, confused.
"A girls meeting..." Marlene said, winking at her.
"Ah, right!" Delilah said, as if she had just realized something.
"Is Dorcas there?" Peter asked looked at him and smiled.
"If she is I'll let you know."
"Thanks Lilah."
"Yeah yeah, you are welcome. Now Delilah, if you please." Marlene said as she grabbed Delilah's wrist and started to pull her out of the compartment. Marlene kept pulling Delilah down the hall by the wrist, until Delilah complained.
"Alright, can you please stop pulling me so fast? I'm gonna fall if you keep doing that, Marls." Delilah said with laughter.
"Fine... Now, tell me..." Marlene said with a smirk forming on her face.
"Tell you what?" Delilah asked, raising an eyebrow.
"How are stuff going with you and Black?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think I mean?" Marlene asked as she stopped in front of an empty compartment. She opened the door and got inside, pulling Delilah with her.
"I don't know."
"Lilah come on..!" Marlene said, almost pleading.
"Sirius and I are just friends!" Delilah said, as she got what Marlene meant.
"Don't give me the "just friends"-thing. Lilah, come on. You know there is something more going on."
"Such as?" Delilah asked with a smirk.
"Such as the way he looks at you. The way you worry about him."
"That's because-"
"I know how his family is like and I'm not like you." Marlene said smirking.
"And how am I like?"
"You worry a lot. Whenever he is sad or feeling a bit down, you ask tons of questions. You look like you could kill his mother. And I'm not kidding nor overreacting."
"Yes, I do worry about him, but that doesn't make me feel something more for him. I worry about James, Remus and Peter too. That doesn't mean I have a crush on them, does it?"
"No. But it is different with Black."
"Did he tell you something?"
"No. Of course not. I can just feel it." Marlene said, rolled her eyes at those words, but smiled.
"Always the same, McKinnon."
"I wanna be maid of honour."
"Marlene!" Delilah said, laughing.
"You are marrying Black. I just know it. And the babies! Omg, the babies will be gorgeous!"
Delilah just kept laughing and after a while, she got up.
"Where are you going?" Marlene asked curiously.A grin appeared on Delilah's face.
"I'm going to look for..."
"Delilah Thompson, if you say the two words..." Marlene warned, with a smirk.
"What two words?"
"Two names, Delilah. If you say them..."
"What two names Mar?"
"Sirius. Black."Delilah waved from the compartment door, leaving a laugh behind.
"I'LL BE THE FREAKING MAID OF HONOUR!"Delilah laughed and made her way back to her compartment. Then she looked inside and didn't see Sirius.
"Is he still gone?" James, Remus and Peter nodded.
"I'll look for him. Be right back guys."
"You better bring him back Fawkes." James grinned.
"I'll do my best Prongs." Delilah said winking.
"Alive!"
"No promises, Moony." She said as she left the compartment.
Delilah started to walk down the hall, while hearing some girls whispering Sirius' name, where said girls, were sending deathly glares to her. Something she had been receiving since third year. Which was the year, most girls started to fancy Sirius. She tried to ignore them until one of them said:"-so friends and when he needs them the most, none of them are there."At those words, Delilah turned towards them and went to the girl.
"Hello." Delilah said faking a smile.
"Hi." The girl said but, she didn't even bother to fake a smile.
"What were you saying about Sirius?"
"None of your bussiness."
"Oh, I think it is."
"I'm not gonna tell you."
"Listen here. You better tell me where the bloody hell he is right now! Or I swear to Merlin, you are gonna regret the day you started giving me those damn glares." Delilah said as the fake smile left her face.
"End of the hall." The girl said, pointing with a shaky finger.
"Thank you." Delilah said, turning around and walked to the end of the at the end she saw nothing and no one.
"That little..." Delilah said turning around to go back to check if Sirius was back. If not, she would tell James and both of them would look for him. As she turned around, she saw someone, alone, in the last compartment. A boy with long hair, who used a leather jacket as a blanket. Sirius.
"What the hell..." Delilah whispered, as she opened the compartment door and went in. Then she sat on the ground in front of him.
"Sirius..." She whispered, but he did not move.
"Sirius..." She tried again, this time putting her hand on his burning forehead and noticed that his temperature had gotten higher.
"Sirius, wake up buddy." She said, as she caressed his hair. He started to slowly open his eyes.
"Hey." Delilah said calmly, giving him a small smile.
"Hey." He replid weakly.
"How are you feeling?" She stopped caressing his hair. As soon as he stopped feeling her hand, he gave her the puppy eyes and she started to stroke his hair again.
"Like shit." He said honestly.
"Since when have you been like this?"
"Uhm... two days I guess."
"Only fever and sleepy or have you been throwing up?"
"Have been throwing up." He said closing his eyes again.
"Have you thrown up today?"He simply nodded. Delilah sighed and stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get you something to bring the fever down, alright?"
"You'll be back right?"
"Of course." She smiled even though he couldn't see, because he had his eyes closed, walked out and went to the compartment with the rest of the boys.
Once she got there, she told the other three boys where Sirius was and that he was sick. Then she went to her bag and took out some meds. After that she left them and made her way back to Sirius' compartment. Once he heard the door open, he opened his eyes to see who it was. Once he saw who it was, he closed his eyes again.
"No, no, no. Don't sleep. You need to take this."
"But..."
"Sirius... It will help you and maybe, make you will feel a little bit better, okay?"Sirius nodded and got up. Then, Delilah gave him the meds and he took them.
"Can I go to sleep now?" He asked with a sleepy grin.
"Of course. Want me to go Mr. Black?" Delilah asked with a different, posh voice.
"Not at all, Miss Thompson. I would love if you could stay here and give me company while I sleep."
"May your wishes come true." She said, sitting beside him. Then he laid down and rested his head on her lap. She started to stroke his hair again and soon enough, he had fallen asleep.
