I PROMISED YOU LOADS OF DRAMA - GET READY.
ABOUT MY LAST CHAPTER - I'M SORRY IT DIDN'T FORMAT PROPERLY
"Jaaaames?" Lily sung, pouting slightly.
James Potter turned to her almost instantly, amused and interested by the flirtatious tone in her voice. He met her eyes, and she batted her eyelashes, wiggling her finger to bring him over.
Like a dog to his master, he walked over, with all the swagger of a pureblood heir. He flashed his best smile at her, and she inwardly cringed, though it never showed on her face. she had to do this for Alice, and she was determined to make it look as convincing as possible, even though james would've probably come running if she'd have asked him to.
"Yes, Lily dearest?"
She gagged. "I was just thinking about you last night, and..."
His eyes grew wider, and brighter, "and?"
"And I think i've been to harsh on you in the past," She said, still flashing him a brilliant smile, "so I was wondering if maybe you'd like to be my date for the final hogsmeade trip on Sunday?" She batted her eyelashes again, for effect.
"If you promise not to be weird about it that is." she added.
"Well, Lilypie, I might be able to fit you onto my schedule..."
Lily turned away, with a fake sneer plastered on her face.
"Sorry, Lils, yes, of course I'll go." He said, grabbing her wrist and turning her to him.
She hoped wherever Alice was, she was getting that damn Invisibility Cloak, because next sunday would be a long day.
Alice Prewett was pacing nervously outside the entrance to the ravenclaw tower. Lily had managed to flirt with James long enough for Alice to steal his Invisibility cloak, and now she was waiting nervously for Frank Longbottom to appear.
This was the first time they'd organised to meet up alone properly, and she was feeling sick to her stomach with nervousness and excitement.
She heard the bricks move from the tower as somebody left the common room, and stayed quiet as Frank came into her line of vision.
"Alice?" He whispered, looking around for her.
She pulled the cloak off and discarded it on the floor. He ran to her and embraced her immeadiately. This shocked her, but didn't displease her, and she wrapped her hands around his neck, as he did her waist. It was a quiet stolen moment, that was broken as the sound of footsteps forced Alice to retreat into the cloak, and Frank back into his dorm room.
Although their meeting had been brief, it left both of them beaming as they crawled into bed that night.
However, in their dorm room, only three girls lay asleep in their beds.
So where was Marlene?
A few hours earlier, Sirius and Marlene were in a broom cupboard on the fifth floor.
"Sirius," Marlene moaned. His body was pressed against her, pushing her into the wall and forcing her back straight, "Sirius..."
"Shhh," he said between kisses, "just..."
His hands wandered her body, feeling her curves, which she had in all the right places, and trying to close to remaining space between them. Her hands were on the top of his jeans, and travelling slowly upwards, tearing his shirt from his body.
His jeans were riding low on his hips, and his underwear could be seen smiling cheekily above them. Her eyes, were not, however, on his pants, put his torso.
He was tanned just enough to make it believable, and he had just enough hair on his stomach to make it attractive. A long scar ran up his body, and stopped just below the neck. With her lips, she traced the line and he murmured with pleasure.
"How did you get this?" She asked, placing her hands bacm on his hips, but bringing her eyes back up to meet his.
"My mother, charming woman, you'd like her, got angry one day that I'd been out with Lily and James.." He winced at the memory.
"Sirius that's awful!"
"Yeah, well, what can you do?" He asked, bringing up the vest beneath her school shirt, he could just feel the edge of her bra...
and the broom cupboard door flew open. "MR BLACK! MISS MCKINNON, GET OUT OF THIS CUPBOARD, RIGHT NOW!"
Marlene pushed him forwards, and pulled her top down, apparently more embbarsed fully clothes than Sirius was shirtless.
Professor McGonagall handed them each a detention slip. "Next Sunday, you will both miss the Hogsmeade trip, loose 50 house points, and serve a detention on Friday night."
She pressed her lips together and walked off briskly, shouting at a student to tuck in his or her shirt.
"To be continud?" Marlene asked, blushing.
"Why wait? Let's go to the room of requirement..." Sirius suggested, and without thinking, Marlene nodded and lead him out of the cupboard.
"We have fourty five mintues before the curfew patrols start, hurry up!" She shouted, and then ran through the corridor, dragging his hand and laughing as he tried to resdress while running.
"Let me go and freshen up," Marlene said as they reached the room. Sirius nodded, but looked slightly disappointed.
She dashed off, and Sirius slunped against the wall outside of the room.
He wanted this, so badly. More than he wanted anything, but he couldn't help feel guilty. He knew once they'd done this, he wouldn't commit to anything, and he'd destroy any friendship they could possibly have, and he'd break her heart all over again.
Of course, when she returned, those thoughts were pushed from his mind. She came back wearing a halterneck black t-shirt, that revealed just enough and way too much, and shorts that weren't really covering anything.
Without saying a word, she balled up his tshirt in his fists, and pushed him into the room breathing heavily. A bed was there, and she pushed him onto it.
"Are you sure about this?" He said.
She nodded, and squealed a little as his hands travelled up her body. His lips sucked at her neck, and his hands reached her bra, went inside it, and... stopped.
His fingers closed around a piece of paper.
He pulled it out of her bra, and looked at her.
Her eyes grew wide in horror as she realised what it was. Regulus's note.
"Dear Marlene," He read aloud.
"Sirius, please don't." She pleaded.
He continued to read it aloud. "I don't really know how to say this, but I do believe it has to be said. I'm sorry I couldn't say this to you in person, but I don't want to watch any respevt you may have had for me leave your eyes as I explained what a horrible person I am. I believe I should start with the good part. Well, maybe not the good part, but the least awful part." Sirius paused for breath. "Bloody hell, Mar, somebody wants you."
"I am in love with you. In a way that I want only to protect you and hold you and be there for you always. That's why the next thing I must tell you is going to break my heart.
Sirius wasn't the one who cursed you. I aimed it for my brother - one of my biggest regrets, and it hit you. I couldn't go down for it. I'm of no use to my future emplyer if I'm not in Hogwarts. I changed his memory, so Sirius remembers hexing you.
- Reg x "
Sirius looked up at her. His eyes that had been filled with lust and love and hope only a mere moment ago, were now black, and made her feel ashamed.
"How long have you known about this? How long have you kept this from me?" His voice wasn't loud, or angry. That's what scared her. It was empty and lost.
"I swear Sirius, I haven't read it before. He came in just after you left, and he kissed me and then he left the note on my bed, and,"
"YOU KISSED HIM?"
"HE KISSED ME."
"That isn't the point!"
"So what is the point?! You kiss me, you are ready to do these things with me, and I find out you've already done them with my brother, who I hate! And I spent weeks blaming myself to put you in that hospital bed when it wasn't even me!"
Marlene didn't say anything, she just hung her head and let the tears roll down her cheek. He looked at her, let out one final breath, and walked out of the door.
And Marlene walked slowly out of the room, and crawled into her bed, where all four girls were already asleep, dreaming happy thoughts that Marlene craved so badly right now.
Author's note : I told you there was loads of drama coming, didn't I? Well, if you liked that (and I hope you did) I'd really appreciate it if you left me a review. They make my day, so thank you for those of you who have left them already.
