All day was spent, planning the wedding, it was at least two years off, but then again Wagalba never had a daughter, and was envious when Druella got to plan Bellatrix's, so I just went along with it. She has was telling me all the idea's she had, she wanted me to think about them while I was Hogwarts, which I would be leaving for in two days. I wasn't really listening; I was plotting ways to ask Regulus about what Bella had told me at the party. After another half an hour, Wagalba had a lunch date with my Aunt and Courtney's mother. So I went to find Regulus, I found him in his room, he was at his desk, doing the summer homework he had left to the last minute, I being the smarty-pants Ravenclaw already finished mine. So I casually lay on his bed.
"So married huh" I said lamely, trying to ease into the subject.
"Yeah, I know crazy right" he said, didn't he want to marry me? He glanced at me and caught my expression. "Oh no Roza, I didn't mean it like that, I meant I always dreamt of marrying you, I never thought of it happening" I giggling, everyday my liking towards Regulus grew.
"Hmm I know, you're the perfect guy, and I'm glad I get to marry you" it was true, Regulus was charming and sweet; a lot of Slytherin girl's will hate me now. "The party was great; it was good to see everyone"
"Yeah it was" he was half listening; he was concentrating on his essay.
"So Bella send something interesting to me, when she was congratulating our engagement" I said.
"Hmm what was that?"
"Well she said she can't wait to tell everyone especially Sirius, so they must be planning something to do with him right like kidnapping him"
"well yeah I guess, their planning an attack on the Potter's and since Sirius lives with them, I guess he'll be killed as well" he mumbled, my eyes went wide, they planned to kill them, Sirius was going to die?. Regulus just realized what he had said and turned around so quickly I swear he got whip-lash.
"Rose" he said slowly. "I need you to pretend you didn't hear that, you can't tell anyone one about this Rose" he said quickly, "swear it Rose"
I was still processing it but I swore it anyway. "I swear"
"I really have to finish this and I can't concentrate with you laying there like that, so would you mind..." he trailed off, trying not to be rude. I smirked.
"Yeah sure" I got off his bed and kissed his cheek "see you later Reg"
I had to warn Sirius, I couldn't just let him get killed; it would be on my conscience for the rest of my life. I decided to write Courtney, she'd would be my cover.
Court,
Would I be able to stay at your's tonight, I have to do something and I need you to be my cover, I'll explain everything, later.
Rose
I waited, something I loathed doing, I was relieved when her letter arrived, saying that I could stay at hers as along as what I was doing, didn't involve drugs, or shagging Luscious Malfoy. I practically ran to Orion's office and flung open his door, he was alone thank-Merlin because otherwise that would've been rude.
"Rose what can I do for you" he asked, slightly alarmed.
"well I'm going mental, because I haven't had a girls day in so long, and Courtney just invited me over to stay at her place so, can I go" I gushed.
"Well I don't see why not, I'm glad I could help you from not going mental" he chuckled. I smiled thankfully and kissed him on the cheek and asked if he would tell Wagalba I said good night. I ran up to Regulus' room, he was a bit suspicious, it took a bit of convincing that I was just going to hang out Courtney, but in the end he believed me. So I packed some stuff and flooed to Courtney.
"Wassup girl, so what's the 411" she asked, pushing me down on the sofa, as you can tell, Courtney has this thing with Gangsters, she'll randomly start talking and walking like them, she's been doing it since third year nobody knows why though, other than that though she's perfectly normal.
"I have to go do something and you can't mention this to anyone, I need you to cover for me" I said. She just stared at me.
"Are you in some sort of trouble" she asked. "Are you selling Drugs" she accused.
"No, listen Court you have to be Serious about this" something dawned on her face, like she just connected it all.
"Oh my god, you're going to warn Sirius aren't you" she cried.
"What...how...how do you know" I stuttered.
"I heard my dad talking about it, but why.." she stopped, "Oh Merlin, how could I have been so blind, I can't believe I never noticed, all the meaning full glances, the sexual tension" she glanced away, I guess she was remembering all the times she had been in the room with both of us. Then she snapped her gaze back to me, a flash of anger crossed her face. "Why didn't you tell me?" she cried "why didn't you tell me that you loved Sirius"
I stared at her. I couldn't remember a time when she wasn't being a gangster. Ever since third year, she had acted like a gangster, nobody is really sure why. It just sort of happened.
"I couldn't tell anyone" I said
"I'm your best friend Rose; we've been through everything together. Do you really think I would've told? I would have kept it secret"
I looked at the ground. "I know you would have. I just... I don't know. I couldn't talk about it. Not even to you. I can't explain it"
"How..." she groped for the question her mind had already formed. "How serious was it? Was it just you or-?"
"It was both of us" I told her. "He felt the same. But we knew we couldn't be together,"
Courtney frowned "what do you mean"
"Come on Court. Do you really think we could've been together, they'd kill us both or worse"
"Oh, but he left" I dropped my gaze again,
"He left me" I mumbled "he said he didn't want me anymore"
"Oh honey, wait you didn't get sick did, you that was the effect of him leaving" I nodded. "But if he did that, why are you going to save his arse"
"Court, he hurt me so bad, but I don't want him dead" I explained.
"You should've told me" she repeated "I feel like you don't trust me"
"I do trust you Court, I'm sorry, you're the only one I would trust with this" I told her. "So you live near the Potter's right"
She nodded "yeah his up the end of this road"
"Okay, I'm going to go up there and talk to Sirius," I said standing up.
"Rose what if they do something to you" she said sounding really worried.
"Court they aren't death Eaters" I laughed.
