Chapter 7 Dreaming of a Dream

I didn't talk to Sirius much within the week since the night he kissed me in the corridor. I didn't dare tell anyone about it. Not even Lily and Sherry. I told myself that it didn't happen. The kiss was just something of my imagination. That's all it was. I didn't see Joey either and I didn't really plan on seeing him. I just ignored the two, completely. It was hard not to think about Sirius, since I sat with him in some of my classes. He'd usually sit as far away from me, at the edge of the table in those classes. I felt like I had some kind of disease that could kill everyone when he did it.

Angie kept on nagging me to go talk to Joey. I would, but I'm just confused. I really like him, but I really like Sirius too. And Sirius kissed me. I didn't exactly know if that kiss meant anything. Maybe it was just a slip and he didn't mean to do it... I just don't know. There's just to many question going through my mind that need answers to.

"Kat?" Alice waved her hand in front of my face, bring me back to reality.

"Er, what? Sorry." I looked up at her and then around the room. I guess the bell rung and I didn't hear it. No one was in the room no more. Just Alice and I. Professor Binns wasn't even in the room no.

"Are you okay?" She asked me as I grabbed all of my things and cramming them into my bag.

"Yeah," I got up from my seat and headed towards the door. "I just have a lot on my mind at the moment."

I knew Alice wouldn't push me to tell her what all of those things were.

"Okay," She nodded, catching up to me.

"Where are the others?" I asked noticing that they didn't stay behind.

"They went to the Great Hall for lunch," she explained. "They're saving us seats."

I nodded not saying anything else. There really wasn't anything I could say.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Alice asked after a while of silence. "You've been out of it for the past days."

"Like I said, I got a lot of things on my mind." I said, not really wanting to talk about the subject. Alice could sense that and didn't go any farther in it.

Everyone was already in the Great Hall, like Alice said. I had to sit next to Sirius, which felt awkward. I just ended up paying attention to what Angie and Sherry were talking about... whatever that was. I could feel his eyes on me every once in a while, but I ignored his glances.

The rest of the day went by in a blur. After classes were over I stayed in the library to do all of my homework. I was a little surprised Lily didn't want to come with. She hasn't been to the library with me all year and we're already in November now. I looked up at the clock to see it was almost seven. I was late for dinner. I put all of my stuff in my bag and put the books that I found away and left the library. The corridors were empty, not like I was expecting people. I wasn't.

Suddenly, I turned the corner and I bumped into someone. I fell to the floor, while whoever I rammed into didn't move an inch. I pulled my hair out of my face and looked up to see someone I really didn't want to see.

"Sorry," He mumbled as he held out his hand to help me up. He walked away right as I got to my feet. I was about to walk away in the other direction until I turned around.

"Sirius, wait." I said taking a few steps toward him. I was expecting him to keep on walking, but he didn't. He actually stopped and turned around and looked at me.

"What?" He asked, putting his hands in his pockets.

I walked over to him, not saying anything. I don't know what I was doing. It was like something was taking over my mind and body making me do these things, like I was on Imperius Curse. I stopped in front of him. He looked at me confused, but neither of us said anything. I bit my lip not sure of what to do now, but then I went onto my tippy toes until our lips met. I most be on the Imperius Curse. This is not like me to kiss anyone, let alone Sirius.

"Why did you just kiss me?" He asked, shocked.

"Why did you kiss me on Saturday?" I asked ignoring his question.

"Because," He was now looking at his feet.

"That's not an answer." I said.

"Yes, it is." He still didn't look up at me.

He was ignoring me now.

I hugged him, "Please, don't ignore me." He stood there stunned. "I don't want us to stop being friends." I could feel the water works coming.

"I don't want that either." He sighed and put his arms around me.

"Then why didn't you talk to me?" I asked.

"Because you wouldn't even look at me." He told me. "So I thought you didn't want to talk to me." I bit my lip.

He was right. I didn't look at him all week. I was trying to ignore him.

"I didn't mean to do that." I sniffed, looking up at him. "I was just confused. I really like Joey." His face fell at the name. "But.. I really like you also." I could see that he was trying hard not to smile at the last part.

"But who do you choose?" His smile faded, being serious than I've ever seen him.

I looked at him. I didn't know, but as I look at him the more my heart ached for him. He looked like a big child with his eyes full of hope for something. And it looks like that something was me. I bit my lip before I put my lips up to his again.

"Does that answer your question?" I asked, smiling up at him.

"Yes," He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me again.

I then woke up in my dorm. I looked over at the clock on my bedside table. It was only three in the morning. It was all a dream. Did it have to be a dream? Why couldn't it be real? I know the answer to that one, because this is reality where things don't go the way you want. I sighed and laid back down, trying to go back to sleep.

I ended up just laying there until Lily's alarm went off at six thirty. When Lily got up, I decided to get up as well. She looked at me shocked that I was actually getting up without Sherry or Alice jumping up and down on my bed, but she didn't say anything. I got dressed, quickly and went downstairs. I didn't go down to the Great Hall. It was to early to do that. I just ended up sitting at the window seat, staring out the window.

When all my roommate's came down, along with James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, I went with them down to get some breakfast. Now I really wish I did get some sleep after that dream. I was tired now with the three hours of sleep that I got.

"Didn't you get any sleep last night, Kat?" James asked me as I yawned for the fourth time as we walked down the stairs.

"Not at all." I shook my head.

"You really need to stop staying up passed midnight." Lily told me.

"I went to bed early last night." I said. "I just happened to wake up at three and I never went back to sleep."

"Well, that explains how you got out of bed so early." she said as she sat down at the Gryffindor table.

"Oh, shoove off Lils." I grabbed a muffin.

"So what were you dreaming off that made you wake up?" Sherry asked, moving her eyebrows up and down.

"I know," Angie smirked. "Joey Campbell." I put my head on the table.

"No."

"Lair." She said, poking me in the side.

"I am not lying!" I said lifting my head up, making my long hair fly all over the place.

"Then what were you dreaming about then?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"I was dreaming of a dream." I said, picking at my muffin.

"That's not a dream." she said. I could tell I was bugging her out now.

"Yes it is." I said.

"Is not."

"Lily, is dreaming of a dream a dream?" I asked, looking across the table at Lily, who had her nose in a book, just like Remus.

"Yeah, sure." She didn't even look up from her book, but I didn't care.

"See!"

"Whatever," Angie said. "I still think it was about Joey."

"It was not."

"Can you two be quiet please?" Alice asked us. "I don't need the two of you getting made at each other."

"Okay," Angie and I said together and then we both bursted into laughter.

And away went to Transfigurations afterwards. Goody!


It's bit longer then the last. I feel like I failed at making it longer! I know the ending sucks major, but I got writers block to keep the chapter going. I do have something in mind about the kiss with Sirius and Kat don't worry! I just didn't want to put it all into this chapter at once!

Keep reveiwing please!
