Sixth Year

She walked down the corridors her eyes trained to the floor. She couldn't believe that she saw that, well she could, but she didn't want to. She just couldn't. Her boyfriend in an intense lip lock with some random chick. That was so not okay. She exhaled and ran her index finger under her eye and sighed.

"Chantal," a male breathless voice called to her. She knew that voice anywhere.

"Sirius," the girl stated not stopping or turning around.

"Chantal. Chantal, stop. Please." Sirius Black called ask he chased her down the corridor. The girls stopped and he sighed. "Thank you."

"What do you want?" She snapped at him.

"Chantal, I…. I never meant for you…. I'm sorry," he stuttered out. The Great Sirius Black was speechless.

"No, you're sorry that you got caught. You're not sorry that you cheated on me," she growled.

He sighed and she knew that she was right. However, he couldn't tell her that. Unlike most of the other girls Chantal was different. He wasn't one of those tap and go girls. She was someone permanent and it scared him. Yeah, the great Sirius Black was afraid. And when he got scared he did stupid things, like cheat. It was his way out, but this time he didn't want a way out. He wanted to be with her, but that wasn't gonna happen. He couldn't tell her that he was in love with her. He just couldn't. Or could he?

"Chantal, I…-"

"We are done. You can go back to that girl now and you can be with her. Okay?"

"No, not okay. Chantal, I-"

"Don't wanna here it. Done." She snapped. The brunette reached around her neck and unclipped her silver necklace. She placed it on her index and watched at it as it swung back and forth. A black and red dog tag hung on a sliver beaded chain. Its normal place was on Sirius' neck, but for the past five months it had earned a place on her neck. But now, it was going back to its rightful owner. "You can have this back."

Sirius felt a tear in his chest. What was that? Heartbreak. It hit him like a ton of bricks. That I what girls felt when he did this to them. She opened his hand and then placed the dog tag in his hand. He met her grey eyes and opened his mouth to speak, but she was turning to leave. He closed his hand and watched the first girl that he ever loved walk out of his life.
