SCREEECH!
The train whistles, jerking me out of my daze. I struggle to lift my heavy trunk but a blonde boy (who is also my best friend) pushes me aside gently and, picking my trunk up easily, shoves it into the hold.
"Thanks Remus." I grin. He grabs my hand and helps me onto the train. Walking up the train slowly, I soon find the compartment where Lily and her Ravenclaw friend Sage are. Waving cheerily at Remus, I let go of his hand and run into the compartment.
"Lils! Hi Sage." Lily and I hug forcefully, and Sage nods at me, still engrossed in her book. I put my hands in my pockets to get my new wand (Sirius broke the old one) to show Lily but it's not there. "I don't believe it... I've lost my wand!" I cry feverishly checking my pockets.
"Don't worry Rey, I bet you just packed in your trunk." Lily calls worriedly, and I start pacing, mentally trying to retrace my steps. I was just with Remus... maybe I dropped it?
With a loud bang, the compartment door slams open, and Sirius saunters in, followed by James, Peter and Remus, Sirius holding... IS THAT MY WAND?!
Grabbing Sage's wand off the seat, I prod Sirius in the side. "Why have YOU got my wand? Remember the last time you touched my stuff... I can hex you just as well with someone else's wand!" I snarl, poking him in the side and growling under my breath.
"Chill out Sunshine, Moony found it in the corridor, and we thought we should give it back. Alright Lils, Onion?" Sage makes a rude hand gesture at Sirius and then buries her head again in her book. I snatch my wand and chuck Sage hers, feeling the edge to make sure that there are no dents.
"Hello, Lily of the Valley." James cries in a sing-song voice.
"Go away James." Lily sighs, grabbing a crossword book out of her bag. "I am not in the mood... EVER."
Later, in the dormitory, Lily and I playing Exploding Snap. Suddenly, a crash downstairs sends us running down to the common room. Lily snorts as she sees what's going on and turns before skipping up the stairs.
Sirius is lying on the floor with some girl from the year below, next to a broken lamp, snogging her furiously. I grab my wand and levitate him in the air by the ankle, sending the girl running nervously up to her dormitory and repair the lamp quickly.
"Come on, let me down Sunshine. We were only kiss-"
"Ni hablar."
"Huh?"
"It's Spanish. Look you can't just do that."
"Do what Sunshine?"
"Kiss girls in the middle of the common room."
"You're just jealous."
I send him flying down onto the rug and mutter a spell so that he can't follow me past the first step on the stairs.
Ignoring his pleading, I go to storm up the stairs to the girls' dorms so I can moan to Lily about him, fuming. Suddenly, he grabs my arm and spins me around.
"What?!"I growl, trying to pull free from his strong grip.
He leans in and kisses me.
I feel like fireworks are going off in my stomach and I instinctively lean in, running my hand through his hair, sighing. Then I taste something vaguely familiar; Lily has a stick that she doesn't use so I steal when my lips are chapped: Cherry Crush lip balm. My lips aren't chapped. It's that girl's...
I push him away with all of the force I can muster, turn on my heel and, climbing the stairs quickly, call down to him.
"Nice diversionary tactic Black, and there I was thinking you only kissed random girls for the thrill."
I leave him standing there, dumbfounded on the first step.
At breakfast, I ignore him completely. If there's one thing Sirius Canis Black can't stand, it's someone giving him the silent treatment. He tries being cool and aloof, then arrogant and indifferent, and then finally starts begging and pleading.
"I'm sorry, it was a reflex."
"I'm not used to girls rejecting me."
"I just wanted to cheer you up..."
"You're an amazing kisser, if that helps?"
"I'll let you yell at me in front of everyone."
"Even the Slytherins?"
"SAY SOMETHING! ANYTHING! PLEASE!"
"I'm sorry. Really sorry, Rey."
I turn to him, ignoring Remus' smirk.
"I don't want to be another girl you snogged one night in a broom closet then ignored..."
He grins sheepishly. "Technically it was the common room..."
I whack him hard across the head with the textbook Remus helpfully hands to me and then wink at him so he smiles.
"You're not. You'll never be. You're my little ray of sunshine!"
"Soy muy guapa, gracias."
"Spanish. Again?" Sirius grumbles, looking at Remus, who also knows Spanish.
"It's my favourite language."
"Better than English?"
"Well, if you don't understand it, then it's always a plus."
He punches me playfully on the arm, which causes several glares to be shot my way by jealous girls around me.
"What about Little Miss I-wear-too-much-cherry-lip-gloss?"
"You are j-" Sirius starts but stops abruptly as Remus takes the textbook back from me and whacks him again.
"OW! Quit it Remus! We're supposed to be friends, and you're taking her side! Oh and it's Alice, and she saw us kissing, and got together with that git Longbottom."
"I think Frank's sweet." I tease, pouring myself a goblet of milk. (Pumpkin juice is EURGHHH!)
"Go and snog him then." he whispers, looking me directly in the eyes, blatantly ignoring a dirty look from Remus. (Huh?)
"Morning Sunshine. What are you planning Padfoot? Did I hear snogging?" James calls obnoxiously, running his hand through his already messy hair. "Are you planning something, you too?" This time it's Sirius who grabs the textbook from Remus and whacks James with it. James, in retaliation pinches my cheek affectionately, but painfully, so I pinch it harder, and run up to Lily who has entered the Hall.
"Hola Lils, look what James did to me!" I gasp, my eyes watering in genuine pain; Peter just stood on my foot. She carefully examines my bruising cheek and, scooping up a goblet of pumpkin juice, dumps it unceremoniously on James' head. Grabbing 2 chocolate croissants (her favourite, and mine too), she walks calmly out of the hall. I wink playfully at Sirius, curtsey and smirk at a now dripping and shocked James, and blow Remus a kiss, who blushes wildly. Huh? I skip merrily out of the Great Hall, waving at Professor Dumbledore who is chuckling, Sirius' laughter echoing in my ears.
Sirius P.O.V :
Chuckling, I turn to Remus, who's touching his cheek, looking a little dazed.
"She's a right caution, she is. And a great kisser too. You ok, Moony?"
"Sure..." he mumbles , now absentmindedly playing with the leather band on his wrist she got him last year.
"You like her!" I gasp loudly, ignoring the swooping feeling in my stomach.
"Announce it to the whole Hall, why don't you Padfoot? Be a little louder next time, I'm sure some people in China didn't quite catch that." he mumble sarcastically, still fingering the band on his wrist.
"You should ask her out." Peter says quietly, tucking into kippers and toast. "And I'm sure she'll say yes. She likes you Moony, a whole lot. I heard her telling Lily at the end of last year."
"Maybe I will." Remus says confidently, standing up and walking purposely out of the Great Hall.
I push my plate away; I've lost my appetite.
The idea of them going out makes me feel...angry. Why?
Imagine them going out. Imagine them kiss-
It should be me!
Wait- where did that come from? I don't like Rey...
Do I?
