Feelings and Water fights
April woke up the next morning early, her mind still reeling from last nights events. She stood up and wrapped her silk dressing gown, that Lily had bought her when she had visited Japan, around her and headed downstairs to the common room. She stopped by the stairs when she saw a black hair she recognised, it was Sirius. She walked closer and smiled slightly, he lay there asleep, lying on his front, his head to the side and his hands tucked under his pillow.
As slowly as she could she settled down next to him, his face looked peaceful and April felt herself sigh, she reached out self conciously and fiddled with his hair, it was surprisingly soft and April found her mind wandering as she fiddled with it.
---------------------------------
Sirius opened his eyes blearily, someone was fiddiling with his hair and it had woken him up. He blinked and a girl came into focus, she had long dark brown hair and Sirius recognised her as April, she wasn't paying attention to him but her fingers were fiddiling with his hair, careful so as not to disturb her, he gently turned onto his side and took her hand in his, she noticed this and jumped, quickly Sirius bought it to his lips and gently kissed it, she flushed and pulled her hand free from his,
"Sorry," she whispered, looking at her lap, her blonde hair fell covering her face, "I didn't realise you were awake."
Sirius pulled himself up into a sitting position and pushed some of hair behind her ear, she flushed again, gently Sirius put his hand under her chin and tilted her head up, she looked at him, their eyes locked and a spark jumped between them. Sirius inched closer to her and she did the same, they were about to kiss when a door banged open and they jumped apart.
------------------------------------
April scrambled up as James entered the common room, his hair messier than ever yawning. He stopped when he saw them. "Sorry, didn't think anyone was awake." he said.
"With that bang you made, I think the whole's castles awake." they turned to see Lily standing at the bottom of the girls staircase wrapped in a dressing gown, her hair in a messy bun. James grinned at her and she smiled at him, he walked towards her and kissed her softly on the lips, she kissed back. April looked away, she felt Sirius's eyes on her back as she walked back up the girls dormitory stairs.
------------------------------------
Lily entered her room happily to find April lying on the bed face down, shaking, she looked up to see who had entered and Lily was shocked to see tears stains on her friends face. She walked over and sat down next to her, "April, what happened?" she asked.
"Sirius." she chocked.
"Did he hurt you?" Lily asked. April shook her head,
"No, I'm just so confused." she whispered.
"Confused about what?" asked Lily gently.
"Confused about my feelings for him." April ammited. Lily looked at her friend closly and saw that she was indeed confused about something.
"What are the feelings you have for him?" she asked. April turned red and muttered something, "Sorry, didn't hear that." Lily told her. April sighed,
"That I really like him, more than a friend." she whispered. Lily nodded understandingly,
"And your worried because he may not like you as more than a friend, and you don't want to ruin that friendship?" Lily asked. April nodded, Lily shook her head and hugged her friend, "It'll work out, I promise." she whispered, she pulled out of the hug, "You know, maybe if you discussed it with James, it may help." she suggested. April looked doubtful and let out a sour laugh,
"Yeah, it'll go great. James'll pratically kill Sirius if he hurts me. " she said. Lily shrugged,
"That's James for you, always looking out for the ones he loves." she smiled, "That's what made me like him in the first place." April smiled as well and said in a teasing tone,
"Always knew you did." Lily laughed and soon they where in a fit of giggles.
---------------------------------
After lunch, The Marauders with Lily and April walked down to the lake together, Remus, Peter, James and Lily all settled under the shade of the willow tree but April and Sirius sat by the lake. Lily watched her friend carefully as Sirius engaged her in a conversation,
"How did you sleep?" he asked. April looked at him with raised eyebrows,
"Fine." she replied. Sirius nodded and they fell silent. Lily sighed,
"How's Quidditch practice?" she asked James, it was obviously the right question to ask as all three of them began talking about it excitedly together. Lily shook her head and lent back against the tree next to Remus, who was reading a book. He looked up at them amused, shook his head and returned back to his book. Lily looked around and watched a butterfly as it flew by slowly. A splash made her turn and she saw April's head rise out of the water, she was splutering and looked furious.
"Sirius!" she roared. Lily turned to look at Sirius, who was despertly trying not to laugh, but the big grin on his face gave away what he had done. Lily watched as he walked forwards, still grinning,
"What you going to do about it?" he asked, smirking.
What happened next was a total shock, Sirius was standing by the lake, the next second he was surfacing in the water, spluttering. April had pulled him in.
Lily smiled and watched them, amused.
------------------------------------
Sirius glowered at April, who smiled sunnily back at him, before swimming to the waters edge, however Sirius got to her first and dunked her, she surfaced spluttering and turned on him, Sirius was busy laughing when to his total surprise she jumped him, forcing him under the water. He surfaced coughing and spluttering water everywhere. April laughed and Sirius glared at her, before making his desicion, he swam over, picked her up, swung her over his shoulder, and waded further into the lake, April yelling at him to put her down all the time, when he thought they where deep enough, he did as she requested and dropped her in the lake, she screamed and pulled him under with her.
Both of them surfaced, April was coughing up water. She glowered at Sirius and launched herself at him, shoving him back under the water. She went to surface but Sirius held her to him, when he finally felt that she was weakaning he surfaced. She looked at him,
"What the..." she was however cut of by his lips meeting hers.
