Disclaimer: I am not the incredible JKR. If I am, it is news to me.

Author's Note: I planned this in relation to something I am working on right now… So everyone knows, Tess Micheals is my OC who plays a very important role in my Marauder-era stories… R&R, try to figure out why Tess is mad at the incredible Padfoot!

"Tess!" he called as she walked swiftly away from him. "Tess!"

She was tantalizingly close, her curly black hair occasionally touching his face. She was a little angry, and more than a little upset, he could tell.

"I know it was stupid, but hear me out!"

She turned around and slapped him. "What is there to hear? 'Oh I'm so sorry it was an accident'?"

He fingered something in his pocket and bit his lip, but said nothing.

"What am I gonna tell people, huh?"

"Prongs'll understand!" he cried desperately.

"But nobody else except Peter, Lils, and Remmy will! Something like this isn't what people would expect from me!"

"Most people know we were living together, Tess."

"And?" She glared at him.

"Me. You were living withme."

"Why are you saying I was living with you? As far as I know, I never moved out."

"Are you staying, then?" He was hopeful.

"Where else can I go?" she asked bitterly.

He abruptly changed the subject. "Remember the first time we kissed? A week before we graduated, two days from the dance? We were sitting on my bed talking, I was going on about something, and you told me to shut up and kiss you?"

"What does that have to do-"

"I'm telling you to shut up and let me kiss you."

She didn't object to his lips, but he could tell she was still tense.

"It's gonna be fine," he whispered.

"I know, Sirius. I know."

Dah dah dah dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………… Muahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R&R please!

Love,

The great Padfoot
