A/N:

Terribly sorry for the long wait. This chapter was hard for me to write and I didn't know how to finish it.

Chapter 8: The Mission

With my arms I pulled Craig closer to me as we continued to kiss deeply. My back was against the wall now and my foot was definitely inside some bucket or something. I felt one of his hands run up and down my side and other at the back of my head. Our lips parted as we gasped for air then his lips began to trail kisses from my jaw down to my neck.

In the past few weeks our relationship had changed a tad. He wasn't so shy around me anymore and it had become more physical. It was only snogging though, but it happened more than I would have ever wanted. I took responsibility for this since I was the one that had begun this. Since I saw Sirius kissing that redhead I've had a huge urge to make him feel horrible.

I wanted him to see that I didn't want him and that I didn't feel any jealousy. The way he had looked at me before he kissed that redhead girl was as if he was almost challenging or something. Absolutely unacceptable.

Since Craig and I had become more... physical, Sirius had only seen us once. He only saw Craig giving me a peck, that wasn't exactly snogging. This happened because I wasn't a fan of public display of affection and I didn't want to be snogging Craig in a corridor or something. We mostly snogged in the broom closet at the 5th floor.

"Ow!" I cried.

"What's wrong?" Craig asked as he pushed himself away from me.

"I don't think my leg is supposed to bend that way," I muttered as I pulled it out of the bucket.

"Oh," he said and rested his back on the wall facing me.

"I'm sorry, Craig," I sighed. "I have to go. Potions class," I said and tiptoed so I could peck his lips one last time.

I closed the door behind me and began to walk down the quiet corridor alone. I got to the Potions classroom late earning detention from Slughorn. I shrugged it off and tried to pay attention to the lecture. Today was definitely not a good day.

"Is that a hickey?" Sirius asked louder than he had to. My eyes widened as I saw more than half of the class turn to look at me.

"No it's not!" I said loudly.

"Then what is it?" Sirius asked with a knowing smile.

"I got burned!"

"Yeah right... admit it you just got a hickey from-"

"Black enough! You will be joining Miss Anderson for detention today," Slughorn said rather annoyed that Sirius was practically screaming this in the middle of his lecture. The students close to me were looking at me as if I were some sort of whore. The Ravenclaw next to me began to look at me up and down making me feel very uncomfortable. I now felt completely mortified. It had just sunk in that the whole Potions class was now aware of my make out sessions with Craig.

Sirius nodded and then returned to taking his notes with a smile playing on his lips. He began chuckling and I knew he was thinking about my hickey. He was so immature!

"Black, Stop it!" I said. He was getting really annoying now. .

"Fine. I'll stop," he said. "For now," he murmured before I smacked his head.

Slughorn is a bad man. A very bad man. Today he decided that Sirius and I should clean the floor of a corridor that almost nobody ever uses. Oh and with no magic... only small brushes, water and cleaning detergent. I was lying on the wet filthy floor scrubbing with all the force I could use.

I looked over at Sirius that was scrubbing his side of the floor corridor. He was almost finished. How could he do it so fast? My eyes then traveled to his strong arms; of course it was easier for him. I had no muscles whatsoever so it was hard for me.

When he was done he got up and kneeled down to me. "Need some help?"

I looked up to see his silvery eyes looking down at me. I wanted to finish more than anything out but I did not want to be helped. I would feel as if I had to be helped and if not I couldn't finish anything. "No thank you," I said making it sound as if I wasn't thankful at all.

"Alright. Fine," Sirius said as he got up and began to leave.

As soon as Sirius got up to leave I also got up to start scrubbing somewhere else. As I began to walk, I stepped on the soapy floor and my foot slipped. I fell on my butt then I slipped again and landed on my back. A quick wave of pain ran through my body as whispered, "Shit."

Next thing I saw was Sirius kneeling down to me again and helped me up. He gripped my arms and pulled me up. He made me sit with my legs stretched out on front of me.

"I'm going to help you finish cleaning this up whether you like it or not, Gracie," he smirked.

That comment right there made my heart flutter and I have no idea why. It was as if he knew I wasn't going to be able to finish from the start. He had asked me when he finished his side and then again right now when I fell. Well this time he kind of demanded it.

I watched quietly as he began to scrub my side of the floor. He had this smile playing at his lips every time he looked up at me. It wasn't this flirtatious smile he usually uses but a sweet innocent kind of smile that I loved.

Why was I even thinking of this all of the sudden?

"Grace, I'm done. We can go now," he said suddenly when he finished. He hadn't spoken in a while.

"Huh?"

"I'm done here. We can go."

"Oh okay. Um thank you... Sirius," I said.

"You're welcome. Are you going back to the common room?" he asked.

"I think. I have to meet up with Craig first," I said.

"Ah. The boyfriend," he said with a smile.

I laughed quietly, "Yes the boyfriend."

Funny how in my head that sounded as if I was reminding myself of the fact that I had a boyfriend. I smiled at him goodbye and walked away. I had planned to meet with Craig at the broom cupboard at the 5th floor.

I sat down at the floor on the tiny broom cupboard as I waited for Craig to arrive. Moments later he arrived closing the door behind him. I could barely see him since we were in such a dark room but I definitely saw a smile at his lips. He looked down at me curiously until I got up.

"Hi," he murmured. His voice was soft and peaceful.

"Hey," I said. I felt as if he knew that Sirius Black made my heart flutter.

Okay. I really have to stop thinking about that moment.

Next thing I knew my lips where on his. I kissed him almost as if trying to prove my feelings wrong. I wrapped my arms around his torso as I pulled him closer to me. I felt him slip his tongue into my mouth. His hand was on my thigh. He gripped it and pulled it to his waist. His other hand was on my back trying to pull me even closer. His lips left mine as he begun to kiss my neck.

I heard the door swing open and Craig gave me a gentle push to see who it was. I untangled myself from Craig looked up with wide eyes to see who had interrupted us. Sirius Black stood outside the broom cupboard with James. James quickly hid a piece of parchment inside his pocket as he lowered his wand. Sirius seemed as he couldn't tear his eyes away from Craig and I. My breath was ragged and my hair was a mess.

"Sorry to disturb you."

His words sounded cold and bitter. It made me feel guilty and horrible. This is what I wanted! I wanted some sort of revenge from what he had done to me. I wanted him to know that I didn't care if he wanted to kiss every girl at Hogwarts. Mission accomplished, I thought bitterly.
