and i will try to fix you

two: howling

She shivers slightly and pulls her cardigan closer around her as the moonlight knifes through the window and her eyes automatically move to the swaying tree a shade darker than the night sky.

The doors creak open and she turns to sigh heavily as an all-too familiar face grins at her.

"What is it this time, Mr. Black?" she asks. His gorgeo- infuriating grin won't leave his face as he holds up his arm and shows her the wrist dangling limply. "Did you punch Mr. Snape too hard again?"

"This time he really deserved it," he tells her with wild laughter dancing in his eyes. "He tried to snog Lily." She just sighs and fumbles through the depths of her pockets for her wand, having heard this story many a-time.

"Thanks, Miss P." He rotates his healed wrist a few times and tosses his tangled hair out of his eyes.

They both jump as the mournful howling of a werewolf echoes from the grounds.

"It won't ever get better for him, will it?" Sirius asks with an unusual sadness in his eyes. She follows his gaze out of the window and up to the perfectly round moon, those mournful cries still echoing in her ears.

"I'm afraid not," she explains with something like tears threatening to overwhelm her.

He spends the rest of the night resting against her, listening to the howling and crying softly into her shoulder.


Okay, so this was more friendship/loosely implied romance
