good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.

everything,
But I'm still waiting
"Kristina!" Sirius Black called out to his ex-girlfriend, leaping up from his seat in between his best mate, and Kristina Potter's older brother, James and Remus.
She turned, expecting to see her big brother James, who had a deep attraction to her best friend Lily, and was older than her by 1 year (she was a 6th year, him a 7th), or Remus, and when she saw who it was, her smile faded.
She turned the other way, and tears came to her brown eyes.
Sirius had hurt her so
bad. He'd cheated on her, and the worst part was she'd found him
snogging another girl in a broom closet, during Prefect Duties. I'm
through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure
out,
I've paid a price, and I'll keep paying
She was done with him. End of story. "Kristina! Kris, I'm sorry..." Sirius caught up to her, panting.
She stood there a moment, her back to him. He wasn't sorry. He couldn't be. He'd cheated on her. With a stupid blonde bimbo from Hufflepuff. He'd lied to her, and told her he loved her. She had heard enough stories. She knew what she was taking on, dating Sirius Black, Hogwarts Player Extraordinaire.
And now she was paying the price.
She whirled, finally.
I'm not ready to
make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as
hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's
too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause
I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I
should
Kristina laughed in his face, pushing back the tears. "No you're not. I was just another girl to you, wasn't I? The one you made it a challenge to finally get. Well, you had me, you bastard, and now you don't. I don't care what you have to say, because I'm still as mad as Hell, and you can't change that. So, I'm not going to take you back and give you another chance. I'm not ready to make nice with you, Black."
He winced at the use of his surname.
"But, Kris--"
"DON'T call me that."
"Kristina then! I think you should let me explain. You see, it wasn't like that! I don't love her! I don't even like her! She made--
"She made you. Because that's so likely. I don't care what you 'think I should do' you git. I'm not going to listen to your sorry excuses anymore."
I know you
said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world
around
and i kind of like it
I made my bed,
and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind
saying,
It's a sad, sad story
That a mother will teach her
daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
Kristina climbed into bed that night, trying her best not to think about Siri--Black. It was too bad she'd have to teach all her children someday to hate him, a stranger to them. He'd asked her to consider moving past that. To consider her getting over it and accepting him back.
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they're write me a letter
Sayin' I better
Shut up and sing or my life will be over
"I mean, he's SUCH a bigot, Lils! So incredibly arrogant, and idiotic and--and just so--so ARGH!" Kristina fumed, stomping around the dorm, as Sasha, Meena, and Alex snickered (her other friends and roomates), and Lily frowned, starting to get annoyed with her best friends 'Sirius Rages' as Alex liked to call them, cue annoying giggle.
"Honestly, why's he such a prat?!" Kristina looked at Lily, and a piece of crumpled parchment smacked her forehead. "Ouch!"
She un-crumpled it and scanned what it said. She recognized Lily's loopy script.
Shut the ruddy hell up, you bloody bigot. Go sing about it or something in the Common Room, you git, or life as you know it will be over. In other words, SHUT UP OR I'LL CRUCIO YOU, YOU WANKER!
Love,
Lily
Kristina scowled at her friend, who was supressing giggles, but Lily couldn't contain herself when Alex read it and snorted. She burst out laughing. Kristina shot daggers at them all.
"How dare he ask for my okay. I'm going to the common room." And that's exactly what she did.
I'm not ready to
make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as
hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's
too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause
I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I
should
((Kristina POV))
"KRISTINA!" Sirius shouted up to my window of my dorm. I stuck my head out of the window. "What!? Does my brother know your here!?" Sirius bit his lip and shook his head. I rolled my eyes. "Go away. I don't want to have to tell you again. I'm done with you."
He looked up at me, a pleading look on his face.
I'm not ready to
make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as

And I don't have time

Cause
I'm mad as hell

I slammed my window shut, but it didn't drown out his last cry of,
"KRISTINA! I'm sorry! I--I still love you."
Forgive, sounds
good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.I opened the window
again.
"Will you forgive me? Kristina, I swear to God I didn't cheat on you! She dragged me into the broom closet and locked us in. She basically snogged the daylights out of me! I was Scourgifying my mouth for days. You have to believe me. Please."
I looked down at him, and said.
"I dunno Sirius. Forgive? Sounds good. Forget what you did? I'm not sure I could. I'm still mad as Hell Sirius Black. And I'm not ready to make nice with you yet. They say time heals wounds...but I'm still waiting. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
I slammed the window shut, and saw that he was down on his knees, a soft smile on his face. I knew why. He knew I forgave him.
But time didn't heal my heartbreak yet. I wasn't going to fully back down. But I believed him, I knew he still loved me. I still loved him too.
But the only thing is...I was still mad as Hell.
They say time heals
everything,
But I'm still waiting
