February 15th - 6:28 a.m.
A persistent buzzing to my left made me shakily lift my head from the fluffy warmth of my pillow and make me fully aware of the figure that hovered above my groggy self.
"Welcome to the real world, babe." I groaned as I fully opened my crusty eyes to the bright room and rolled to the side of the figure.
"Are you finally awake or will I have to pull your sheets off?" Lily said as her toothbrush hung from her mouth. Her hair was curled to perfection and her thick lashes twirled up in a flattering fashion. My friend is so pretty.
I smiled as I stretched my arms up to the ceiling, "I'm awake, don't worry." I let out a long yawn before physically rolling myself off the bed and stumbling onto the rug next to my bed. Not exactly conventional but it works to get me fully awake. I turned off my alarm and turned to Lily's amused face.
"You have thirty minutes until breakfast starts!" Lily sang as she walked past my messy form and ruffled my already tangled dark hair.
"She's such a little den mother, bless her." I mumbled to myself as she went out the door and grabbed a new uniform in my drawers and stripped down to my plain black underwear. I must have eventually fallen asleep after face planting onto my bed last night. I don't think I've slept so sound ever since the breakup.
Quickly running through the only thing available to untangle my rat nest of hair; a comb, and breaking only a few small pieces of the flimsy thing, I decided that my hair was presentable. Throwing my clean uniform on and my robe, I traveled out the door and into the bathroom where only a couple girls were littered around the many sinks, Including Fern and Lily.
"Hello girls, how are you this fine morning?" I beamed at them, snagging my green toothbrush from my cup.
Lily and Fern glanced at me from their mirrors and gave an approving look to each other at my chipper tone. "You're in a good mood today," Fern said turning back to her mirror and began picking at her face,"What gives?"
"What? Is it a crime to be in a good mood?" I mused, as a began brushing my teeth.
"No!" Lily nearly shouted above the other chatter in the room, making me jump to her abrupt reply to my question. She blushed as girls across the room turned from their conversations to give her a dirty look. "I-I mean it's just a good change from the usual. I like this Arabella."
"We like this Arabella," Fern turned and gave me a hopeful look, raising her finely shaped eyebrows. "So have you decided that today is going to be a good day?"
I nodded and grinned at them both with a foamy mouth of toothpaste. They grimaced but gave me a thumbs up and turned back to their mirrors and continued to get ready for the day. I giggled and began to wash out my mouth with water.
Wiping my wet mouth with a wash cloth, I took a long look in the mirror and gave myself a bright smile. My full lips stretched across my face enthusiastically causing a domino affect on the features of my face. My already full cheeks were puffed out even more as a natural pink tint sat on my smooth dark skin. My teeth, although I believe them to be too close together, sat side by side in a bumpy manor. The dull, ultimately boring dark brown resided in my wide eyes. As well as a hint of grieving.
I let my smile fall and exhaled. Although I'm still upset, I need to make it a habit to try to be the happiest me. I can't allow this breakup to ruin me.
I stole the brush on Ferns sink and began to thoroughly brush my soft wavy hair that lay down to the middle of my back, successfully clearing the damage of my bedhead.
After all three of us finished getting ready we headed down to breakfast, our growling stomachs and still slightly sleepy mindsets giving us all a clear invitation to a silently pleasant journey.
Finally arriving to the scene of breakfast, nearly everyone sat huddled at their tables speaking in hushed tones and munching on their freshly made food. My stomach let out a long groan as I saw the stacked plate of crispy bacon at an area of the table that was packed. Damn, I love bacon.
Frowning, I scanned the Gryffindor table for another available spot with the scrumptious strips.
"Lily Evans!" A booming voice sounded from down the table snapping me out of my search. Lily scowled as Potter's deep voice announced her name in merriment. "Lily come sit down here!"
Fern rolled her eyes and Lily crossed her arms jutting out her hip before shouting back. "Bugger off!"
Taking a long look at the Marauders, I couldn't help but notice a certain member. Black looked nearly pantie wetting in his full uniform with the sleeves pulled up to his elbow that showcased his hairy forearms. Along with that his dark luscious his hair fell across his strong jaw structure, it made his appeal even more so. He let out a loud laugh at Lily's clear annoyance and threw his head back with glee giving me a view of his thick neck. What a handsome neck.
...Is that odd to be attracted to a neck?
"There's no where else to sit, those goddamn second years stole our usual spot down the table." Fern huffed, joining Lily by crossing her arms tightly.
"Why don't we just sit with them today? We've sat with them before, it isn't that bad." I said faintly. I took a good look at the food surrounding them and spotted my beloved bacon.
"Plus there is bacon."
Lily hesitated before shrugging and making her way towards Potter's smug face as she sat next to him. A few feet away but none the less, next to him.
I took the empty place next to Sirius and Fern next to Lily.
"How're feelin' today, love?" Sirius turned to me, already passing me the plate of bacon. My heart fluttered violently as I took the plate without uncertainty. "I'm doing fine, thanks." I murmured taking a piece and biting into the crispy heaven.
He suddenly wrapped a single arm around me, fully enclosing my upper body into his and gave me a firm squeeze on my arm. I felt like my heart was about to fall out of my chest, what the fuck is going on.
As quick as it happened, it ended and he slid his arm from my shoulders and turned to Remus to animatedly begin discussion. My cheeks felt like they were about to burn off, and I used my hair to cover the burning problem from Sirius's view. I hope no one noticed my reaction.
Looking up from my side bangs, I saw Lily playing with her eggs and ignoring James's advances to woo her into going on a date with him as a bigger scowl then earlier was planted on her face. Looking to the right of Lily sat Fern with a glower shifting between Sirius and I.
'What was that?' She mouthed with the sour expression still sitting clear on her fairy like features. She must be talking about Sirius's closeness.
I widened my eyes at her heated gaze and shrugged, looking down to my plate. I remained silent and completely flustered the entire breakfast.
February 16th - 9:29 p.m.
I could feel Ferns fiery glare as I tried to read my novel from my bed.
"Okay, seriously stop." I directly turned to look her blue orbs with irritation, "I didn't do anything and you've been unnecessarily cold to me for a couple of days. What's wrong?"
She continued to stare with a hateful gaze and I threw my book down on my bed with a thud. "Seriously! What is the fucking problem!"
She ran her long painted nails through her short hair and huffed. "What's the deal with Sirius?"
I gave her an odd look. "What are you even talking about?"
She stood from her seat at the vanity and scoffed. "As if you don't know." She let out a harsh laugh. "There is clearly something going on. Ever since he and James walked you to the common room he's been super touchy, and very flirty with you and as your best friend I'd like to know why."
Her whole argument and explanation to why she has been so rude makes no sense to my what-so-ever. She's always so bloody dramatic about everything.
"Nothing is going on. I don't understand why you're so into me and Sirius's relationship considering it's non-existent! Besides it's Sirius we're talking about, how is he any different then he's always been. You're acting ridiculous." Yes, I will admit to myself I find him attractive and fine my heart skips a beat when I see him. But in the whole situation of it all, I know for certain he has no feelings for me and just trying to make me feel better about George. I'm just a girl with a crush and that's that. Fern need to butt out if she's going to act like a hateful bitch for no reason.
Fern sneered at my response and walked over to her king-size bed, "You seriously need to get your priorities straight and find some fucking self respect." She spat turning to gather her pillow and blanket from her bed.
"Where are you going?" I said exasperated, following her as she stomped to the doorway.
"I'm staying in Kendall's room. At least there I don't have to deal with your bullshit moping." I jeered at her, "And don't come to me when he breaks your heart." She mocked as she traveled across the hall to Kendall's abode. Good. Fuck her and fuck her dramatics.
I slammed the door as hard as I could and leaned back on the wooden door. I need an aspirin.
