~Three*Weeks*Later~

I still hadn't forgiven Sirius for the love potion thing. Whenever he tried to get near me, I hexed him. If he entered a room, I left it. I sat at least a table away from him in the Dining Hall.

~That*Night~

I was sitting in front of the fireplace in the commons in my pajamas. It had to be nearing midnight, but I was in no mood to sleep. I just stared at the fire.

That is, until a hand reached from behind and covered my mouth. Another reach down and grabbed both my hands.

"Please, May. Just listen to me…" I heard Sirius ask in a pleading voice. Inwardly, I sighed, and went limp. It had been three weeks; I was still pissed, but… I don't know…

Slowly, Sirius let go of me and moved to where he was crouched on the ground in front of me. His face was mostly shrouded in shadows, but I could see his eyes. They looked sad and tired and something else I couldn't identify.

"…I'm sorry about the love potion…"

I didn't say anything; just stared at him like the idiot he is.

He sighed. "It was wrong. It was really wrong, and I know that. But…" Sirius trailed off seeming kind of hesitant. There was a minute of silence, two minutes, three…

"But what?" I asked finally. Sirius carefully looked away, before saying, "I did put the potion in there on purpose… I actually tried twice, but the first time you got sick… I guess I didn't quite get it right or something…"

I almost hit him again or something. I didn't see how this was supposed to make this better…

Sirius sighed again. "I… It wasn't a joke. I wasn't trying to mess around or anything…"

I didn't understand. At all. "Then what? What possessed you to do this?"

He mumbled something. "What?" I said.

Sirius looked at me steadily in the eyes. "Sometimes, girls need a push in order to like me like I want them to."

I just stared. Seriously? "…and you thought that slipping me a love potion would… do that?"

He ran shaking hands through his hair. "I didn't know what I thought… I just… Argh… You drive me insane sometimes…"

"So this is my fault now?" I scoffed.

"No no no no no!" He said louder. "Not like you annoy me… I mean, that you're there. I always know when you're around. I can tell. When you're upset, it bothers me. When you're happy, I smile. Just… I don't know. I want you like… I don't know…"

Confounded, I rubbed my face in my hands. "So you're saying you like me? Like, like me like me?"

Sirius didn't say a word. After a moment, he nodded. He had his head tilted down, shadows falling over his eyes.

I reached over and hit him in the head. Hard. "You sound like a fucking cheesy romance."

Again, he was silent, just rubbed his head silently.

Tired of not looking in his eyes, I put my hand under his chin and tilted his head up. His eyes tentatively met mine. "Next time, just ask, moron."

He smiled slightly. "Does… Does this mean I'm forgiven?"

I sat quietly for a minute, then said, "Yes, I suppose. But I swear, Sirius Black, you do anything like that to me again, EVER, I will never speak to you again. Understand?"

Sirius meekly nodded. Then, he smiled. "I have a question for you."

"Okay?" I said, a questioning tone in my voice.

"May Jewels, will you be my girlfriend?"

I smirked. "We'll see."

I'm sorry... I know it's another terribly short chapter... But as I said, this makes it come out faster...

I'm gonna try really hard to have the next chapter out by the end of tomorrow... It's gonna be the last chapter... *sad, yet happy*

I know it was a rinky dink story, But I've had fun writing it, and I hope you've had fun reading it! I hope this chapter wasn't too cheesy and bipolar...

See you soon!
