AN/ Hey guys, this is my first story on here, also my first one shot. I just randomly started writing this story so yeah, please R and R, and no flames, but constructive criticism is welcome :) Enjoy! More to come hopefully.
Lily and I were sitting on our beds eating some lollies we got from Honeydukes we bought last weekend at Hogsmeade. We were just in our pyjamas pants and bras as it was nearly bed time but we didn't feel like being in the common room. Marlene was off somewhere probably snogging some guy in the hall way. It was just us in our dorm.
"So you've been a bit quiet these past few days" said Lily casually
"I have?" I asked, trying to sound casual as well but obviously failing as Lily just shot me a look.
"Yeah, you usually crack up at those Weasely boys jokes and the Marauder's pranks, but not even a peep. What's up?"
"It's… it's nothing, honestly. I'm just in a mood."
"right…"
"Yep. Right. Let's change the subject!"
"Fine… did you hear about Daisy and Harold? Had a massive row in Herbology last week and haven't talked since" said Lily after finishing her mouthful of caramel fudge. I popped another piece in my mouth and nodded.
"I was in the other green house when it happened, could've shook the whole cas-"
There was a knock on the door. I raised an eyebrow at Lily, she shrugged as I got up to open the door.
"well hello beautiful"
I groaned but my heart started beating a little faster. Damnit. "Yes Black?"
"Ouch. Last names, not very nice tonight are you?" said Sirius Black smirking, behind him I saw James Potter and Remus Lupin. I smiled and waved at the two boys and turned my attention back to Sirius.
"How'd you get up here?"
Sirius hesitated for a moment, most likely trying to keep his eyesight above my chest, I felt a bit self conscience to be honest. "Finally found a way and wanted to test it out."
"It worked I gather"
"Yeah well that's why we're up here Einstein. Let us in would you? Bit cold out here"
I turned to look at Lily who had a confused expression. She nodded slowly and then shrugged as if to say 'why not?'.
"Alright, give us a minute would you?"
"hurry up then gorgeous" Sirius said winking. I rolled my eyes and shut the door.
"Cover up Lily, James won't be able to keep himself in his pants if he saw you right now" I said with a laugh as Lily glared at me and chucked on a shirt.
"Hide the sweets" I yelled as I turn to open the door again. Out of the corner of my eye I see her dive to the lollies and stuff them under her bed as the three boys walked into the room.
"Sweets?" said James and Sirius together.
"Nope. No sweets what-so-ever. Nada. Zilch." I said while trying not to look at the bag underneath Lily's bed.
"It's okay honey, we won't tell" winked Sirius.
"Definitely cleaner than our room" muttered Remus who then sat down in one of the chairs next to the door.
"Well hello Evans, go out with me?" said James with a arrogant smile to Lily.
"No Potter, stop asking me!" but there was a definite blush when she said this.
"You know James, if you actually use her first name she might consider it" I said rolling my eyes.
"Oh… well then, Lily? Go out with me?" he added a wink at the end. Lily just rolled her eyes.
"Better luck next time James" I said, James just turned his head away.
"you might want to put a shirt on Sally" said Lily laughing as she saw my expression.
"Oh... sorry"
I glared at her for not telling me sooner and pulled out an oversized shirt from my trunk. It had the logo of one of my favourite bands on the front, ACDC. "Could've told me sooner Lils" I muttered.
"Sorry, it was funny, plus you were so excited about the new bra I thought you'd want to show it off a bit" she laughed again.
"Hmph." I glared at her again and sat on my bed. Sirius came over and sat on the end of it, looking at me.
"ACDC? They're an alright band" he said
"you know them?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, muggle studies, love. Just to annoy my parents you know."
"Oh yeah, true." Great conversation-ist right here…
"Well I'd hate to interrupt this most intriguing conversation, but I have to go find Peter, he's supposedly in the library but I think he's with some certain hufflepuff girl in a class room" said Remus, getting up from his chair, "anyone else want to help?"
"Yeah I'll come Moony, it's boring in here. Later Sally, Lily. Sirius you coming?"
"No, I need to talk to Sally"
"oh that's right" said James, "see you in the dorm then Sirius." I raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah see you" he said and waved his hand non-chalontly as James and Remus left the room. Lily then got up silently and, after giving me a meaningful glance, left the room.
"So what did you want to ask?" I questioned, slightly annoyed.
"Are you okay?" he stared at me with those magnificent grey eyes of his. I was startled by the question, I thought I was hiding it so well…
"Yeah… I, I'm fine." I said shortly.
He raised an eyebrow and we continued to stare into each other's eyes.
"Fine if you don't want to tell me I guess I'll leave" he said as he got off the bed.
"Wait" I said too suddenly. He turned his head and smiled at me. Damn his good looks. My heart started beating a little faster. He sat down next to me this time near my pillow. I sighed a little, of all people he had to notice, didn't he?
"Well go on" he said assuring me.
"it's just…" I began, "okay this is going to sound so… childish and selfish and stupid, but everyone I know… even Peter for goodness sakes, has someone, and i… well don't. All I have are friends, but that's it. I mean, yeah I have dad, but he's not as comforting as he used to be, not after mum…" I shut my eyes at the memory. Sirius stayed silent but when I opened my eyes he was still looking at me, his expression unreadable. I laughed bitterly at my stupidness. "I told you it was stupid and selfish. But I mean, James and Lily have each other, even though Lily won't admit it, yet. And Remus has that Ravenclaw girl, you go around snogging a different girl every week and even Peter has someone! And don't even get me started on Marlene…" I sighed deeply. Sirius was still quiet and unreadable.
I glared at him. "I can't even believe I just told you all of this! And all you're doing is just sitting there and not saying anything!"
He swallowed. I looked into his eyes and it seemed as though there was a raging battle going on inside his mind. After another minute he finally opened his mouth.
"Someday," he said softly and quietly, as if he was choosing his words so carefully, like he was trying not to spill some big secret or thoughts, "you'll be everything to someone. Just… believe and wait."
His words were so sincere and honest, I couldn't help but trust him. I nodded.
"I guess" I said stupidly. He put his hand on my shoulder to comfort me, I felt electricity crackle between our skin. His smile made my stomach flip uncontrollably. I smiled back a small smile.
"I should go now" he said, almost regrettably, as he stood up, "it'll be okay Sally, I'm always here for you."
"See you Sirius"
Just as he was leaving the room he turned around and faced me. "And, just so you know, the last time I snogged a random girl was so long ago I've forgotten what it's like," and with that he turned and left the dorm leaving me alone to my confused thoughts.
