Authors Note: I know what I'm doing in this chapter is weird. But I get major writers block thinking about the summer - it's really annoying. Before any of you leave thinking I'm going to stop for like months because of writers block, I have planned like the whole story! So it's alright. J sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been ill, then I don't get internet connection over the weekend, & then I had homework to do, so I haven't had much time! Sorry again!
I opened my eyes and I was in my bedroom. I don't remember coming in here. I heard the door open & footsteps approach me, so I quickly closed me eyes again, I heard two voices whispering,
"Is she awake?" "I don't know, she looks unconscious still" unconscious?
"She's awake" I said. I opened my eyes and saw James & Sirius leaning over me
"MUM! SHE'S AWAKE!" James shouted
"Ouch. Loud noises. Not good!" I felt my head throbbing, but continued, trying to ignore it "What happened?"
"You don't remember?"
"No" I strained my memory "I remember going to Diagon Alley yesterday… telling you, James and someone else. Remus? About the future, then I remember running. Loads"
"Yeah, is that all you remember? And that wasn't yesterday. We're going Hogwarts tomorrow, it's 31st August"
"It's been four weeks?" Then I remember about Diagon Alley, "Bellatrix"
"I'm going to kill that fucking bitch!" Sirius shouted
I ignored the throbbing in my head and turned to James,
"That's all we've got out of him while you were out of it. He thinks it's his fault" James said
"It was my fault! I shouldn't have left!"
"James, can I speak to Sirius, alone for a moment?" I asked. He nodded his head, and I waited till I heard the door shut before turning to Sirius.
"Come here" I patted the spot next to me on the bed and Sirius hesitantly walked over and sat down.
"Look at me" But Sirius just carried on looking at his arms "Sirius. Look at me"
After a couple of minutes, he looked up at me
"Look at me, I'm fine! Nothing to worry about or feel guilty about. This was not your fault!"
"But it was. I should know never to leave anyone with Bellatrix. I know it's me she wants not you, but because I'm a twat I left you and she did this to you! And it is all my fault"
"None of this was your fault. I was stupid and thought I could do everything myself. We should of stayed hidden, but all I could think about was getting you three out of there. And I'm sorry for making you feel g-" before I could finish talking, Sirius' lips were on mine. Sirius Black was kissing me! I never felt so happy, the person I KNEW I loved was kissing me, and actually wanting to!
Too soon he pulled away "I-I'm sorry" he whispered.
He was about to get up when I grabbed his arm.
"Please stay" He sat back down "After I got back from Diagon Alley, I remember you catching me out of the fireplace. I think I remember saying something to you, but I cant remember what it was, did I say anything?" I already knew the answer but I had to see,
"No, just mumbled something about Bellatrix" He wouldn't meet my eye. Why was he lying?
"Oh. Right, okay" I rested my head on his shoulder and let sleep overtake me.
Sirius POV
I was kissing her! My best friends sister! Even though I really didn't want to, I knew I had to. I pulled away and got up "I-I'm sorry" but before I could walk away she grabbed my arm,
"Please stay." I moved back next to her on the bed "After I got back from Diagon Alley, I remember you catching me out of the fireplace. I think I remember saying something to you, but I cant remember what it was, did I say anything?" Yes. You said you love me. And I was supposed to say it back, but I didn't because I'm a dick. I couldn't say that though, "No. just mumbled something about Bellatrix"
"Oh. Right, okay" I sensed disappointment in her voice, did she know I was lying?
I felt her rest her head on my shoulder.
We just sat in silence for a few minutes. I went to ask her if she was excited about going to Hogwarts, but when I looked across, she was asleep. What was it with her falling asleep on me?
I reached into my pocket and carefully pulled it out the two-way mirror
"James Potter" I whispered, I waited a couple of minutes then,
"HEY PADFOOT YOU FI-"
"Shh!" I felt Ginny move closer towards me, "Help me!" I whispered
"Why? What's wrong?"
I moved the mirror onto Ginny. "I swear she has an issue with falling asleep on me!"
"Haha! Have to get yourself out that one mate, I've got to de-gnome the garden for Dad"
"Why aren't the house elves doing it?" Surely with a house full of elves, Mr Potter would ask them to do it,
"He's still pretty pissed we left Ginny alone in Diagon Alley. Speak to you later mate!"
Then the mirror went black.
I'd left her on her own with Bellatrix. I know what she's like, I grew up with her! And I left Ginny on her own with her. I looked over at her fragile body and did something I don't do often - I cried.
I cried because of what she looked like when she fell out of that fireplace, knowing it was me Bella wanted, not Ginny, and if I know Bellatrix, she isn't done with Ginny, and I would rather die then let anyone hurt Ginny. And I cried, because I love her.
I held Ginny's head up, while I lied down, and rested her head back on my shoulder.
I love Ginny Potter. No one can ever find out. Sirius Black loving someone is not normal. I'm going to have to hide this well, and hiding things from the Marauders was hard.
I stroked Ginny's hair softly - trying not to wake her. I don't know how long I laid there for, but soon I was asleep.
James POV
I finished de-gnoming the garden, and went to find mum. She was in her office.
"Mum, Ginny's awake now"
"Oh, okay lets go and see if she's okay"
"I went in there before going outside & She was actually asleep on Sirius" Mum didn't & couldn't know about the two-way mirrors me and Sirius found "So we'll have to be quite, just in case"
We walked up to Ginny's room & I slowly opened the door
"Oh Godric, not again!" they were both asleep again. In the same bed. Sirius, with my sister. "SI-" before I could wake them up, mum covered my mouth & whispered "Don't you dare. You know they both need the sleep! Ginny may have been unconscious, but you must of heard her screaming and shouting for Bellatrix to stop And Sirius, I know he's been coming into your room while this has been happening, they both need the sleep. So don't you dare" How does she know everything?
She led me out of the room and closed the door
"You dare go in there!" and she walked away.
It's only 2:00! What am I going to do for the rest of the day?
I walked into my room, picked up my Hogwarts letter & my trunk and started packing. I was doing N.E.W.T.S this year and I was taking: Defence Against The Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, Transfiguration and Muggle Studies - the same as Sirius & Ginny - because you need most of these to become an Auror. Sirius was only taking Muggle Studies to piss off his parents though.
Mum went to Diagon Alley again a little while after we did and bought all our books, this year I needed:
Anthology of Eighteenth Century Charms,
Confronting The Faceless
Defensive Magical Theory
Home-Life & Social Habits of British Muggles
Advanced- Potion Making
Magical Drafts & Potions
Guide to Advanced Transfiguration
And, even though I knew it by heart - Quidditch Through The Ages
I started putting the books in my trunk, when I head screaming from Ginny's room - not again!
I ran into her room & found Sirius crying and trying to wake Ginny up.
"NO! STOP IT!" She shouted
"Ginny! Please wake up! WAKE UP!" Tears were streaming down Sirius' face. I'd only seen him cry once - when he found out Regulus was a Death Eater.
"NO! SIRIUS!" Me & Sirius froze "Kill me! Not him! KILL ME!" Then Ginny went quite
"Oh my Godric. Did she just?"
"Yeah."
My memory went back to the day Ginny was attacked, when she came out of the fireplace she whispered something to Sirius, then fainted. After that, Sirius never left his room, except in the morning & night to check on Ginny, or if she was having one of her nightmares. Only two things make Sirius act like that - love or guilt. And I know Ginny would never make Sirius guilty so it must mean - great. My sister fancies my best friend.
"She told you she loved you, the night she was attacked didn't she?"
Sirius looked up at me "No" he wouldn't meet my eye - he was lying
"Your lying. I know you to well Sirius. She said she loved you and -"
He jumped up "She didn't. Fucking. Say. ANYTHING" Then he ran out.
I heard a door slam and things smash on the floor. A Sirius tantrum - yay!
CRASH!
"James? What was that?
Ginny's awake!
Ginny's POV
I was awoke my shouting and smashing. I rolled over, expecting to land in the one place I felt safe - Sirius' arms, but instead met my pillow. I opened my eyes and saw James standing in the middle of my room
CRASH!
"James? What was that?"
He turned around and smiled at me "Oh Ginny, your awake. Sirius tantrum, nothing to worry about, go back to sleep" Then he walked out
"I can't. Sirius isn't here" I mumbled to myself
I rolled over & after what felt like a couple of hours, I eventually fell asleep, thinking about being back at Hogwarts tomorrow!
