Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Wish I did, but I don't…you really should be happy about this
For one split second, she almost turned around
But that would be like pouring raindrops back into a cloud
So she took another step
Said 'I see the way out,
And I'm gonna take it'
Wasted by Carrie Underwood
Cara woke up early that Sunday. She looked around at the other girls, who were still fast asleep. Wait…where is Jules? She shrugged it off, taking the opportunity to dress herself today. She slid on her skinny jeans and a red tight fitting t-shirt and headed out of the dormitory, grabbing her book on the way. She walked down into the common room and suddenly stopped. Remus…and Jules…were asleep…cuddling…on the common room couch! Cara's mouth opened in shock. She knew they fancied each other, but this was like an almost guaranteed "yes-we-are-together" thing going on here! Remus's hair was all messed up, almost like James. The scene looked so peaceful and sweet, that Cara didn't want to disturb it. But she knew people would be coming down soon, so she tiptoed over to the two and tapped them both on the shoulders. "Remus? Jules?
Common you two lovebirds, wake up!"
Remus stirred and opened his eyes. He looked at Cara, confussed. "Cara? What are you doing…" then he looked down at the still sleeping Jules and the memories from last night flooded into his mind again. "Oh, God. Oh shit, Cara did anyone else come down here and see us?"
"Not that I know of. But they might soon, so wake up your lover please!"
Remus leaned down and whispered into Jules ear, "Jules honey, you got to wake up."
She stirred and opened an eye. "Why?" Then she saw Cara. "Oh shit."
Cara giggled. "It's ok Jules! Just get back up to the dorm before everyone comes down and see's you two cuddled up here looking like you guys did God-Knows-What last night!"
Jules quickly jumped out of the couch, and Remus caught her arm. "Mind if I walk you down to breakfast?"
Jules giggled while Cara rolled her eyes. "Sure." She bent down, kissed his check, and walked back upstairs. Cara followed her, eager to hear about last night.
"So?" she asked as soon as she shut the door. "What went on last night?"
Jules blushed. "He started telling me that he loved me and then I interrupted, saying that I loved him too."
Cara squeaked excitedly. "That's so cute! And you guys kissed right?"
Jules blushed even more and nodded her head. Cara screamed.
"SHUT THE HELL UP CARA GRACE OR I SHALL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF YOU BODY!!!" Lily yelled from her bed. "IT'S ONLY 7 IN THE MORNING!!!"
"BUT REMUS AND JULES ARE GOING OUT!!!!" Cara turned to Jules. "Right?"
"Right."
Lily jumped out of bed. "YES!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed, causing Alice to throw a pillow at her face in her sleep. "Give me the details!!!!"
Cara looked at Jules. "I got the details, right?"
"Basically." Jules didn't exactly want to tell anyone about the mushy gushy that went on last night.
"Awesome. Then I'm off. See ya at lunch." Cara then walked out of the common room, out of the castle, and onto the grounds. She reached a tree by the Black Lake, sat down, and started reading. She was reading for about 15 minutes before she heard a voice say, "Wow. You're a loner."
She turned around and saw Sirius leaning on the tree, grinning. "Well, thank you. What is you doing here, Black?"
"Well considering it is my lake, I feel like you don't need to know that question."
"It's not your lake Black."
"As far as you know." Cara sighed. "Can I sit down?" She nodded, going back to her book.
Silence took over, and Sirius was starting to feel a bit anxious. He looked over at Cara, whose soft curls were softly blowing in the light wind, her now green eyes focused on her page. She looked so…peaceful, and yet at the same time, Sirius knew that there was an obnoxious side to her. I like that…he thought to himself. He stared at her until she slowly realized that he was still there. "Oh, don't mind me, Ms. Grace, keep reading!" I'm fine just watching…whoa. Sirius suddenly thought as she went back to her reading feeling awkward, this is Cara Grace I'm talking about here. I can't just have these feelings about her. Cara's not like those other girls. And yet as he continued to look at her, he realized…and I don't have to be the guy she thinks I am. "Hey, Cara," Sirius started off smoothly. "So…um, what's up?" Why is this so hard?
"Nothing much Sirius…Oh!" Cara's eyes lit up with excitement as she looked at him. "Remus and Jules are going out!"
Sirius's eyes bulged. He in fact had previously wondered why Remus wasn't coming up to bed last night, but was too lazy to mention anything or find out why. "No way! That's cute. Since?"
"Last night. I found them asleep on the common room sofa this morning."
Sirius smiled. "I knew he could do it! I knew he'd find the girl, and I have taught him well."
"Way to make this all your doing." Cara retorted. This is so weird. Why is he even talking to me instead of hooking up with some girl who will fall for it? Her heart started hurting as she looked at his face. She knew she had to do something to seriously get over him before she fell hopelessly in love. She shifted farther away from Sirius and he caught her arm. She looked at him in alarm.
"Umm," he quickly let go of her arm and said quickly, "You know, I never noticed how pretty you are Cara." Oh, shit he thought as Cara raised an eyebrow looking somewhat scared and stunned why did I have to say that!!!???!!!
"Um, well…thank you Sirius?" I need to get away before this gets way out of-
"Maybe we could, oh I don't know, go somewhere? Like on a date?" Sirius watched her hopefully.
Cara's eyes practically bulged out of her head. What???!!!???!!! "What????"
Sirius took a breath. "Please don't make me say it again. I fancy you Cara, and want to go on a date with you. It doesn't have to be a whole commitment thing," he said quickly, "but I just want to give it a chance."
Cara narrowed her eyes. "You know Black," she started off with. "I'm not like those other girls. I am not the kind of girl who will shag you in a broom closet after 15 minutes of sweet talking!" she yelled at him. Sirius sat there, looking absolutely taken aback and stunned. "You know, once I would've given anything to be one of those girls, but I know better now. You just end up getting hurt! And I don't need that…again! So, you had your chance Black. Don't be a James. Don't try getting the one girl who wont go for you." She got up, leaving Sirius sitting on the ground looking up at her, hurt. "And you don't have to tell me that there wont be a commitment," she continued, " 'cas there never is with you!"
She stormed back into the castle, head high. Once she stepped inside, she ran to the nearest bathroom as fast as possible. She then held onto the sink, looked into the mirror, and whispered in a somewhat strangled voice, "Why me? Why now? God…" and as the tears fell down her face uncontrollably, she thought of how she never thought it would be so hard to turn down someone who you want to be with so much.
And Sirius Black remained outside, still in the position he had been when she left, rejected for the first time in his life, and thought to himself, Why me? Why her? Why did it hurt so much? Never had he ever felt this way about any other girl…he gasped as a single tear rolled down his face.
Just a single tear.
And even this, a tiny tear, was something unknown to man.
And Sirius Black.
