Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Anon.
I sat in the common room, staring out of the window. No one was back yet. There were people there, obviously. But no one who I particularly wanted to acknowledge. I was still in shock. Sirius Black had actually done something genuinely nice. Mare wouldn't be happy. Alice came rushing in.
"Where did you go?" she asked, she was smiling. She obviously had fun without me.
"I went to Hogsmeade for a bit. Then I came back." I said. She sat down on the sofa next to me.
"Whose coat is this?" she asked, pointing to the coat Sirius had lent me.
"Sirius'." I muttered. She must have heard. She blinked and then raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Why did he give to you?" she asked disbelief in her tone.
"He saw I was cold. That's all." I say. She smiles.
"That's all. Sirius Black is never randomly nice to people. Especially not people who he's broken up with." said Alice.
"If he wasn't just being randomly nice, then what was he being?" I asked. Alice thought for a moment.
"Maybe he was drugged." She suggests, shrugging her shoulders.
"Maybe. So, what did you do today?" I asked, changing the subject.
"I went to The Three Broomsticks with Thomas Cresswell. But his sister came with us, so that was a bore. But we did manage to get a few minutes together whilst walking back." said Alice. Now I knew why she was so happy.
"Oh. Urm…I think I'm going to give Sirius his coat back." I say.
"Do you want me to come with you?" she asked.
"Urm…no. I'll be fine." I say, she smiles, and scoots o to the dormitory. I put my coat on, grab Sirius' and walk out of the common room.
Loads of people started to come back. I knew that it was going to be near to impossible to give it back to him, but I wanted to get out of the common room for a bit. If I loiter around for a bit, I might find him.
My plan worked. I found him. I didn't know how to approach him. He wasn't my boyfriend any more. In fact he was barely my friend.
"Urm…Sirius?" I mumble.
"Yes?" he said.
"Urm…your coat?" I say, handing it to him. "Thanks for letting my borrow it." I add.
"No problem. It was cold. You needed it more than I did." He said.
"Padfoot!" shouted Potter's voice.
"You'd better go. You don't want Mare to find out you've been talking to me." I say. He grins.
"Marlene doesn't own me." He says with a laugh. He walks of. I smile too.
Aww... sorry it's not much. I had an injection earlier and my arm is actually dieing. The stupid Dr didn't tell me it would bleed. He said it wouldn't hurt.The lair.
