"Was she worth it?"
Sirius Black looked up to see his girlfriend of five months staring down at him where he had been laughing with the rest of the Marauders. "What are you talking about, love?"
"Don't you dare 'love' me, Black. We need to talk." She uncurled her fingers before clenching them into a fist again. Oh shit, she called me Black. What have I done? Sirius racked his mind for what she could be mad at him for. When he remembered, he felt his stomach curl into a tight ball of dread. He dutifully followed her up into his dormitory.
"Out," she snapped at Xander Peral, who scrambled for the door. They had all seen his girlfriend mad and it was not a pretty sight. Well, she was pretty hot when she was mad.
"Was she worth it? The girl at the party. Was she worth it?" Her voice snapped him out of his musings as he looked at her, taking in her tearstained face.
"Hey, don't cry," he said and moved towards her. "Don't touch me. You were my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first shag, and I find out that you slept with some Hufflepuff tart. At my best friend's party. While I was busy with her you went off with her. So was she worth it? I hope so, because she'll probably be only too happy to sleep with, oh sorry, console you when you get dumped by your girlfriend." Sirius panicked, he loved her, the shag had been a mistake when he was drunk.
"No, she was a mistake, I was drunk. I am so sorr..." She interrupted him "Don't tell me you're sorry because you're not. I know you're only sorry you got caught." He looked down signifying she was correct.
"I applaud you. You put on quite the show. You really... had me going. But now it's time to go. The curtain is finally, finally closing. I bet she wasn't the only one. That was... quite a show. Very entertaining." Her voice was thick with held back tears. "But it's over now." She rose from her sitting position on his bed and started walking towards the door. He could only sit there and watch her exit his room and his life. Opening the door she looked back and said one last thing to him before exiting his room and his life. That was the last time she spoke to him.
He had to watch as she went through 7th year, dating and being happy. He had to watch as she got married to another man. Then he got the news that she and her husband had been killed in a raid against muggles. They had died defending her family against Death Eaters. He started drinking and did not go James and Lily's house for Halloween, like had promised them. When he got the news of their death, he became blinded by rage, and went after Pettigrew.
When he sat in his cell in Azkaban, he reflected on her last words to him. His Emilia. The only woman he had ever loved.
Go on and take a bow.
Good bye
