Sirius Black stretched out on the grass next to the lake, wishing that the other Marauders were there with him. James was in detention, Remus was doing homework, and Peter was…well, he didn't really know where Peter was. Usually, he would have had detention with James, but this time James had gotten detention for snogging in a crowded corridor. He would be fine if only he could hide from Elizabeth. Elizabeth Roman, his girlfriend, was a very pretty 7th year, with long, shiny, black hair and large green eyes. She had had so many boyfriends throughout her years at Hogwarts that no one, even her, could count them. Sirius was the one that she had been going out with the longest, at 2 months, 10 days. The problem was that recently, she had become so attached to Sirius that he couldn't even remember the last time he had had an hour to himself, either alone or with his friends, without Elizabeth butting in. He'd had almost as many girlfriends as she'd had boyfriends, but she was just getting plain annoying. He was planning to break up with her, but knew that she would just throw herself upon him and begin crying and kissing him at the same time. How did he know this? He had tried to break up with her the previous month, after she had almost suffocated him with kissing when Gryffindor won a Quiddich game. He sighed. Sooner or later he'd have to deal with this.

Suddenly, he saw a shadow come over him and the next thing he knew, she was all over him. Her lips were over his, stuck so fast that he could barely breathe. Finally he just exploded.

"Gerroff me!" he sputtered "Go-a-way!" he gasped for breath, pushing her off. She sat back, looking puzzled, but then she laughed.

"Siri, you're not going to do this pretend break-up thing again, are you?" she asked him playfully "That could really get old."

"Don't call me Siri!" he shouted, surprising himself with his anger, "I'm not playing! I don't love you or even like you anymore! Goodbye!" He stormed off, leaving her sitting alone on the grass.

Later, he went down to the Great Hall, wondering where James, Remus, and Peter were. He sat at the corner of the Gryffindor table, picking at his food and wishing his friends were there to cheer him up. He didn't know why this particular breakup had left him so empty inside. Maybe it was because, in the past, either he or his girlfriend had broken up for someone else. This time, well, he didn't really know what had happened. He had meant to breakup with her, yes, but he had sounded so harsh. He had just lost his cool.

Suddenly, the doors of the Great Hall burst open with a loud bang, and as everyone in the Hall turned to look, in walked James and Remus, Peter trailing behind as usual.

"Padfoot!" James exclaimed jovially, "Where've you been? We've searched the whole grounds for you!"

"You've been looking for me?" Sirius said incredulously, "I've been looking for you!

"Ah, well, it certainly is a strange little world then, isn't it?" Remus said sarcastically, "Why the long face Padfoot? Lizzie troubles again?"

Sirius sighed, "Well, kind of," he told them dejectedly, "We just broke up."

"But why are you sad about that?" James butted in, sitting down, "Sirius, sad over a breakup? That's not the Padfoot I know!"

"Never mind, it's nothing." Sirius said, trying to cheer up.

James shrugged. "Ok, have it your way."

Just then, Lily Evans, James's girlfriend, came up behind James. She put a hand on his shoulder, and kissed him when he turned around. She then sat down on the other side of James.

"You know, Sirius, Christie is pretty upset about what happened today between the two of you." Lily commented tactfully, "Maybe you should go see her."

"Ha!" Sirius barked a laugh, "I don't care what she thinks! I am through with her!"

"Gosh, anger!" Remus said reproachfully, "Anger management, please!"

Sirius just rolled his eyes.
