Now on to the story:
Chapter 10: Crying secrets
"I dare you to...." Sirus said yet again, pretending to think hard, just loving the look on Maria's face.
"Sirus! Will you just tell me!" Maira screamed.
"Fine, fine, whatever floats your boat. My sweet, dear, adorable, funny, sexy, hott, blessed with a nice ass, beautiful....." Sirus began to list off to leave more time for suspense.
"Sirus! I don't care! Just tell me now! You don't want to see what I can do to you again! I'll hit you harder this time!" Maria said getting up, crossing over to Sirus, and grabbed him by the collar. She then rammed him to the wall, still clutching his collar. Everyone was amazed by Maria's strength as she began to choke Sirus, while she reapetedly slammed his head on the wall.
"O..ka..okay." Sirus tried to to say as he was being tossed around by Maria. But Maria couldn't here a single word he had said and then shouted, "I swear if you don't tell me right now! Your balls are gonna get such a kicking from my foot, you'll be regreting it before I even do it!" and then stopped to look Sirus in the eye. When Sirus tried to produce words nothing came out, and he began pointing at his throat showing that he couldn't breathe.
"Maria! Calm down! He's trying to tell you! But he has no air!" Cat screamed as she saw Sirus' face begin to turn a light shade of purple.
Maria then realized Sirus was serious and released him right away. "I'm so sorry Sirus, I didn't know I was hurting you. You should have threw me off you, I could have really hurt you." Maria said appologetically, staring at the floor.
"I......Siurs......Black.......would......never.......hurt.....a......lady......in....any....way. That....is..probably...the only....thing I learned....from Remus." Sirus said, as he attempted to catch his breath.
Remus beamed with pride, "I always thought you ignored all the times I tried to get you guys to act like a gentleman."
"No, Remus, we wouldn't ignore you! So anyways like I was saying before." Sirus said after catching his breath a few minutes later.
Everyone sat back in a circle as he began to tell everyone his dare for Maria.
"Anyways...I dare Maria over here to kiss..." Sirus started to said before he was quickly inturrupted.
"A kiss! is that all!" Maria said releaved.
"Ah...but you didn't let me finish." Sirus said mischieviously. "I dare you to kiss Snapey Poo, after dinner tomorrow. AND all six of us have to be there to see. So I guess get him under that tree tomorrow."
Maria sat there gaping at him, just thinking about what it would be like to kiss Snape. "You-you-you can't be-be-be serious!" Maria stuttured. "I mean, have you seen him! He's all greasy, and-and-and nasty, besides how am I supposed to get him under that tree? He won't come with in an inch of me." She said trying to get out of the dare.
"Ah...you have a point. But don't worry Maria I'll think of something, and by me, I mean Remus." Sirus said.
"Great!" Maria said sarcastically as she took hold of the bottle and begun spinning it. Finally it landed on Remus.
"Okay, truth or dare?" she said.
"Um...I guess dare." Remus said not looking her in the eye.
"Okay I dare you to sing your favorite song to us as you dance around the room." She said attempting to catch his eye.
Then Remus looked her in the eye, and couldn't say anything, he just stared into her eyes, not aware of everyone looking at him. Then Sirus made a loud fake cough that awoke him from his stare.
"Oh...right sorry. Um....Sirus would you mind? Could you get that CD player thingy." Remus said standing up.
"Yep, sure." Sirus said getting the CD Player and placing a CD in. Then Remus took a big gulp before he began to sing 'Maria, Maria'
(For all of you who don't know, Maria Maria, is by Carlos santana. If you didn't know. So okay you can continue my story.)
Remus:
Maria Maria,
She reminds me of a west side story,
Growing up in Spanish Harlems,
She's living her life just like a movie star,
(Remus began to sing, turning his and Maria's face bright red. Then for some reason Remus began to get into the song and began to sing passionately, catching everyone off guard with how well he sang.)
Remus:
Oohhhh Maria, Maria,
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sound of the guitar, yeah yeah,
Played by Carlos Santana.
(Then another Muarder stood up beside his friend and began singing just as loudly as Remus)
Sirus:
Start the rooting, stop the booing,
Put on one of those grins,
Cause that sexy mami just walked in,
And not to love that is a sin.
(Then Remus began to sing, but not before he got the courage to grab Maria by the hand and began to sing to her, as he stare into her eyes.)
Remus:
Maria, maria,
She reminds me of a west side story,
Growning up in Spanish Harlems,
She living her life just like a movie star.
( Remus had been holding Maria tight to himself, not wanting to stop his gaze into her eyes.)
Sirus sat down leaving the spot light to Remus and Maria, and began to watch the two like the rest of the group.
When the song ended, and it looked like Maria and Remus were about to kiss, they split apart looking a little red in the face and sat down in the cicle. Not staring at anyone. This left everyone in complete shock, thinking something more was going to happen besides them just sitting away from each other.
"Um...well...that was interesting. I guess I can spin it now." Remus said locking a glare to the bottle. He slowly took it and spun it as fast as he could letting it spin for a long time, before it finally landed on James. "Well..." is all Remus could say.
"Dare I guess." James said with an expressionless tone.
"Um...Lets see...." Remus began to think untill an idea popped into his mind. "I dare you tomorrow morning at breakfast to sing L-O-V-E to snape."
"That's disgusting!" James complained.
"Well at least YOU don't have to kiss him!" Maria retaliated.
"You're right, you win, your dare is worst." James said.
"You guys want to finish this game up later?" Peter said. "I still have homework."
"Yea, we'll finish up later, that way I can give Cat her private lesson." Sirus said, winking at Cat.
Sirus, Cat, James, and Lily all headed out of the common room, leaving the last two Muarders and Maria alone.
"Um...Pete, can I talk to Maria alone?" Remus said.
"Um...oh yea...okay....I'll do my homework in our room." Peter said getting up and leaving up the stairs.
"Well, I guess I'll do this fast, um.....Maria, will you go to the ball with me?" Remus said bravely looking her in the eye.
"What!? That's sooo sweet! Do you really think I'm the prettiest out of the three of us girls?" Maria said.
"Well, yea of coarse I do." Remus said a little red.
"Well....thank you." She said giving him a swift kiss on the cheek and leaving the common room.
'Um...she didn't answer me? Maybe she doesn't want to go with me. maybe I should just move on.' Remus thought sitting on a couch pulling out a book.
--James--
James slowly walked the long walk to the room of Requierment, hoping he could just be there alone. He finally reached the room to find that the door was already there. He slowly opened the door to find a bright red room, in resamblance to the Gyrffindor common room. He heard faint crying and saw a bundle of red hair that belonged to a girl crying on a couch. James quickly shut the door, but reopened it when he realized who it was that was crying. He walked over to Lily after quietly shuting the door. Lily looked up at the faint snap, and saw James. But for once she was happy to see james. She just wanted someone to hold her and tell her everything would be alright and that she can get passed it.
James sat beside her, and placed Lily on his lap embracing her in a tight hug, letting her cry on his chest.
"Lily." he whispered in her ear. But Lily just stayed in his arms crying on him not wanting to say anything.
"Lily, you can't keep this bottled up inside." he whispered again.
Lily slowly lifted her head and looked James in the eye and whispered, "I know. Just no one will understand how I feel."
"I will. Lily who is it?" James said.
"How do you know its a who?" Lily said.
"I know, because you can see the thestrals too." he said simply. "Who was it? Because I know you couldn't see them before. Do Cat and Maria even know?"
"No, I haven't told anyone." Lily said.
Then she dived back into his arms, and James could hear her mumble something. She then began crying harder then before. But James knew why this time. He knew who she saw die.
"I'm-I'm so sorry Lily, I didn't know." James said staring down at her.
"It all happened so fast. We were just walking along and-and-and-" Lily began to say in between sobs. "It hit her so fast, the last thing she told me to do was run and hide."
James stood speachless, listening to her story. "I can still see the echos of that horrible spell! Arvad-arvad-" Lily tried to say but words failed her.
"Why did it have to be her? She never did anything wrong!The worst thing is, she died because of me." Lily said faintly.
"That's impossible, you could have done nothing to save her." James whispered.
"You don't get it! If I weren't a witch then he wouldn't have had any other reason to try to kill us besides the joy he got from it." Lily said.
"Lily....don't blame yourself." James said.
"I can still see her lifeless body laying on the pavement at night! I see that horrible person standing over her, looking pitiless!" Lily cried out.
"She was one of the only people I had left!" Lily screamed. "Now I only have one, and she can't stand me."
"Who can't stand you?" james said.
"My stupid sister Petunia! You should have saw how she looked when I told her. All she could say is 'oh.'" Lily began to say. "I heard her crying for maybe an hour, then she came downstairs like nothing ever happened. Always blaming me, for being who i am. Saying 'If you weren't like the way you are, then she'd still be alive.'"
James couldn't believe Lily's sister's behavior. Lily ended her tale, and began to cry again, but remebered something that made her speak.
"James, who'd you see die?" Lily said so soft he could barely hear her.
"My sister."James struggled to say, noticing a tear forming.
"How?" Lily said.
"Her and I were at home, alone. We began fighting and she got terribly angry. She ran out side and into the woods. I was so angry I didn't even think about what could have happened to her, she was only 11." James began to say.
"About an hour later I decided I had to look for her. I looked deep into the forest, screaming her name for hours. When i finally could hear her voice, it was dark. When I was about to come get her I heard someone else speak. I looked through the bushes to see it was my stupid cousin, Gregory Potter. He had been disowned from my family since he joined the dark side. Then before I could even help her he had yelled that stupid spell and she was lifeless on the floor. I ran through the bushes and I had tried to duel. I was only 13. I didn't have a chance. So he got away. I hated my self for what happened, and I still do. She died mad at me, and I couldn't even tell her how much she meant to me. She was the only other person I really loved. I stayed with her body untill morning when my parents found us." James said faintly.
Lily stood speechless, shocked at James' passion, and love for his sister. "I'm so sorry. I never knew, I couldn't have even thought of something like that happening to you." Lily managed to say, staring into his eyes.
But James couldn't respond. They just stared into each others eyes for what seemed like hours. They were getting closer and closer, untill they were about to kiss. They were an inch apart untill the door opened and they broke apart automatically.
"Sorry, I didn't know any one would be here. I just had to get away from the common room." Remus said, then noticing what he had just walked in on, felt bad, and left the room with out another word.
"Uh...we should go." James said helping Lily up. "Well...come on...we're off to the kitchen!" James said as they walked out of the room noticing that Remus had left.
"What do you mean 'we're'?" Lily asked still looking a little puffy-eyed from crying.
"Well unless you want to go back to the common room. Go ahead be my guest. I just thought that maybe you'd want to come." James said.
"Fine, I'm coming. But we shouldn't, we're head Boy and Girl! We're setting a bad example!" Lily said as she walked.
"Will you just stop thinking about rules for a minute, and have some fun." James complained.
After that Lily shut up all the way to the kitchen, thinking of all the times she could have had fun, but didn't because she was afraid to break a rule.
--Quiditch Practice--
"Um....I don't know if I want to do this again." Cat said looking hestantly at her broom.
"Oh come on. You'll do fine." Sirus said reassuringly.
"Maybe I shouldn't do this." Cat said turning around, attempting to walk back to the common room. But Sirus was too quick for her, and grabbed her by the waist and placed her on his broom sending them way up into the air.
"Sirus, put me down this instant!" Cat said looking down at the ground, from 50 feet in the air.
"Fine if that's the way you want it." Sirus said holding her in his arms and leaning over the side of the broom.
"No! NO SIRUS! PUT ME BACK ON THE BROOM!" Cat screamed, paniced.
"That's what i thought. Now calm down." Sirus said placing cat back on the broom facing himself.
"Easy for you to say, were you scared the last time I was on a broom." Cat said sarcastically.
"Yes." Sirus said simply."Do you know how I felt watching you hang from that broom, thinking you were gonna die any second, and I'd never have a chance." Sirus finished looking her in the eye.
"For a chance at what?" cat said feeling a little ashamed. But before he could say another word, a big gust of wind came from behind Cat blowing her into Sirus and planting her lips on his.
For a while they both kissed, but soon broke apart. "Well i guess to do that." Sirus said cockingly.
"Sirus!" She said half laughing. "I told you the only thing I'm doing with you is quiditch."
"Ah..but we could change that if you kissed me again." Sirus said winking.
"Just show me how to get down from here." She said wanting to kiss him again so badly.
"Fine." Sirus said as Cat turned around and waited for directions.
"Sirus put his arms over Cat and grasped the end of the broom. "Okay now slowly tip it forward, then you should start to go down slowly." Sirus said.
'Damn he's strong! Look at that muscle!' Cat thought as she tried not to notice his arms around her.
They slowly headed toward the ground and got off the broom. "Okay, ready to try it alone?" Sirus asked.
"Of coarse I am!" Cat said grabbing the broom from Sirus and gave him a cute smile. She flew straight up into the air and screamed, "You coming or what?"
Sirus grinned and grabbed a quaffle for them to practice with. He flew up and explained what she was supposed to do. They tossed the quaffle around for a while but stopped when they saw someone enter the stadium.
"Hey Remus!" Sirus yelled waving his arms. "Wait, we're coming." He said as he began to head toward the ground followed by Cat.
"What's wrong?" Sirus asked as he saw a wierd look on Remus' face.
"I walked in on Lily and James when they were about to kiss." Remus said.
"Impossible! Lily hates James! She would never kiss him. She thinks he's too pig-headed or something." Cat said.
"Well, you don't know James. I heard one time he got a Slytherin to go out with a muggle-born!" Sirus said.
"Woah! Then maybe they were. Guess we'll never find out." Cat said.
--Kitchen--
James and Lily walked into the kitchens to find someone already there. Both James and Lily looked at the person closely before they realized they weren't imagining Maria stuffing her face.
"Lily! What are you doing here!" Maria said swallowing a big bite of pie.
"Well, I came down with James." Lily began to say. "I didn't know you came to the kitchens!"
"That's cause I didn't want to tell you, because I knew if I did, then you would lecture me about how I shouldn't." Maria said taking another bite.
James and Lily sat across from Maria at the table staring at her eat.
"Why are you so hungry? We just had dinner." Lily asked.
"Well when I'm excited, I eat." Maria said.
"What were you excited about?" Lily asked.
"Well Remus asked be to the ball with him! That means he thinks I'm the prettiest." Maria said excitedly.
"And....what'd you say when he asked?" Lily said impaciently.
"I said....I said....oh no! I just left! Now he's gonna think I don't wanna go with him." Maria said frowning slightly.
"WHY'D YOU LEAVE?" Lily said standing up.
"Well...I got so excited I went to go find one of you girls to tell. But then I got too excited and went to get some food." Maria said staring at her food.
"Stupid git. Should have said yes." Lily said sitting down looking disappointed. But then both girls realised James had been listening to every word they had said.
"Um...well, if you haven't got the picture yet James, don't tell Remus?" Maria said pleadingly.
"Well why not?" James asked.
"It's complicated." Maria said.
"But I'm sure if..." James began to say but was cut-off by Lily.
"Just don't!" she said looking very sturn. " Come on lets just go." Lily said getting up.
"But we just go here." James complained.
"But I want to go now." Lily said.
"James don't argue. Just go." Maria said getting up and leaving the kitchen.
James and Lily headed out of the kitchen, noticing Maria had already left. They started walking in silence. But soon James whispered somthing to Lily.
"Lily, you won't tell anyone about my sister will you?" James asked.
"You mean no one knows?" Lily replied.
"Only Sirus." James said staring at the floor as they walked.
"No, I promise your secret's safe with me. James, you won't tell will you?" Lily asked nervously.
"Sure, I told you I won't tell Remus about maria liking him like she does." James said.
Lily stared at the floor as she whispered. "No, I mean, about my....."
*Hehehehehe! You almost know! So now you have to read the next chapter to find out who it is! I guess its one of my best cliffies. Now since you're so happy with me click on that little blue box at the bottom and send me a review! Please! Go ahead yell at me or anything. Just review!

Chapter 10: Crying secrets
"I dare you to...." Sirus said yet again, pretending to think hard, just loving the look on Maria's face.

"It all happened so fast. We were just walking along and-and-and-" Lily began to say in between sobs. "It hit her so fast, the last thing she told me to do was run and hide."
James stood speachless, listening to her story. "I can still see the echos of that horrible spell! Arvad-arvad-" Lily tried to say but words failed her.
"Why did it have to be her? She never did anything wrong!The worst thing is, she died because of me." Lily said faintly.
"That's impossible, you could have done nothing to save her." James whispered.
"You don't get it! If I weren't a witch then he wouldn't have had any other reason to try to kill us besides the joy he got from it." Lily said.
"Lily....don't blame yourself." James said.
"I can still see her lifeless body laying on the pavement at night! I see that horrible person standing over her, looking pitiless!" Lily cried out.
"She was one of the only people I had left!" Lily screamed. "Now I only have one, and she can't stand me."
"Who can't stand you?" james said.
"My stupid sister Petunia! You should have saw how she looked when I told her. All she could say is 'oh.'" Lily began to say. "I heard her crying for maybe an hour, then she came downstairs like nothing ever happened. Always blaming me, for being who i am. Saying 'If you weren't like the way you are, then she'd still be alive.'"
James couldn't believe Lily's sister's behavior. Lily ended her tale, and began to cry again, but remebered something that made her speak.
"James, who'd you see die?" Lily said so soft he could barely hear her.
"My sister."James struggled to say, noticing a tear forming.
"How?" Lily said.
"Her and I were at home, alone. We began fighting and she got terribly angry. She ran out side and into the woods. I was so angry I didn't even think about what could have happened to her, she was only 11." James began to say.
"About an hour later I decided I had to look for her. I looked deep into the forest, screaming her name for hours. When i finally could hear her voice, it was dark. When I was about to come get her I heard someone else speak. I looked through the bushes to see it was my stupid cousin, Gregory Potter. He had been disowned from my family since he joined the dark side. Then before I could even help her he had yelled that stupid spell and she was lifeless on the floor. I ran through the bushes and I had tried to duel. I was only 13. I didn't have a chance. So he got away. I hated my self for what happened, and I still do. She died mad at me, and I couldn't even tell her how much she meant to me. She was the only other person I really loved. I stayed with her body untill morning when my parents found us." James said faintly.
Lily stood speechless, shocked at James' passion, and love for his sister. "I'm so sorry. I never knew, I couldn't have even thought of something like that happening to you." Lily managed to say, staring into his eyes.
But James couldn't respond. They just stared into each others eyes for what seemed like hours. They were getting closer and closer, untill they were about to kiss. They were an inch apart untill the door opened and they broke apart automatically.
"Sorry, I didn't know any one would be here. I just had to get away from the common room." Remus said, then noticing what he had just walked in on, felt bad, and left the room with out another word.
"Uh...we should go." James said helping Lily up. "Well...come on...we're off to the kitchen!" James said as they walked out of the room noticing that Remus had left.
"What do you mean 'we're'?" Lily asked still looking a little puffy-eyed from crying.
"Well unless you want to go back to the common room. Go ahead be my guest. I just thought that maybe you'd want to come." James said.
"Fine, I'm coming. But we shouldn't, we're head Boy and Girl! We're setting a bad example!" Lily said as she walked.
"Will you just stop thinking about rules for a minute, and have some fun." James complained.
After that Lily shut up all the way to the kitchen, thinking of all the times she could have had fun, but didn't because she was afraid to break a rule.
--Quiditch Practice--
"Um....I don't know if I want to do this again." Cat said looking hestantly at her broom.
"Oh come on. You'll do fine." Sirus said reassuringly.
"Maybe I shouldn't do this." Cat said turning around, attempting to walk back to the common room. But Sirus was too quick for her, and grabbed her by the waist and placed her on his broom sending them way up into the air.
"Sirus, put me down this instant!" Cat said looking down at the ground, from 50 feet in the air.
"Fine if that's the way you want it." Sirus said holding her in his arms and leaning over the side of the broom.
"No! NO SIRUS! PUT ME BACK ON THE BROOM!" Cat screamed, paniced.
"That's what i thought. Now calm down." Sirus said placing cat back on the broom facing himself.
"Easy for you to say, were you scared the last time I was on a broom." Cat said sarcastically.
"Yes." Sirus said simply."Do you know how I felt watching you hang from that broom, thinking you were gonna die any second, and I'd never have a chance." Sirus finished looking her in the eye.
"For a chance at what?" cat said feeling a little ashamed. But before he could say another word, a big gust of wind came from behind Cat blowing her into Sirus and planting her lips on his.
For a while they both kissed, but soon broke apart. "Well i guess to do that." Sirus said cockingly.
"Sirus!" She said half laughing. "I told you the only thing I'm doing with you is quiditch."
"Ah..but we could change that if you kissed me again." Sirus said winking.
"Just show me how to get down from here." She said wanting to kiss him again so badly.
"Fine." Sirus said as Cat turned around and waited for directions.
"Sirus put his arms over Cat and grasped the end of the broom. "Okay now slowly tip it forward, then you should start to go down slowly." Sirus said.
'Damn he's strong! Look at that muscle!' Cat thought as she tried not to notice his arms around her.
They slowly headed toward the ground and got off the broom. "Okay, ready to try it alone?" Sirus asked.
"Of coarse I am!" Cat said grabbing the broom from Sirus and gave him a cute smile. She flew straight up into the air and screamed, "You coming or what?"
Sirus grinned and grabbed a quaffle for them to practice with. He flew up and explained what she was supposed to do. They tossed the quaffle around for a while but stopped when they saw someone enter the stadium.
"Hey Remus!" Sirus yelled waving his arms. "Wait, we're coming." He said as he began to head toward the ground followed by Cat.
"What's wrong?" Sirus asked as he saw a wierd look on Remus' face.
"I walked in on Lily and James when they were about to kiss." Remus said.
"Impossible! Lily hates James! She would never kiss him. She thinks he's too pig-headed or something." Cat said.
"Well, you don't know James. I heard one time he got a Slytherin to go out with a muggle-born!" Sirus said.
"Woah! Then maybe they were. Guess we'll never find out." Cat said.
--Kitchen--
James and Lily walked into the kitchens to find someone already there. Both James and Lily looked at the person closely before they realized they weren't imagining Maria stuffing her face.
"Lily! What are you doing here!" Maria said swallowing a big bite of pie.
"Well, I came down with James." Lily began to say. "I didn't know you came to the kitchens!"
"That's cause I didn't want to tell you, because I knew if I did, then you would lecture me about how I shouldn't." Maria said taking another bite.
James and Lily sat across from Maria at the table staring at her eat.
"Why are you so hungry? We just had dinner." Lily asked.
"Well when I'm excited, I eat." Maria said.
"What were you excited about?" Lily asked.
"Well Remus asked be to the ball with him! That means he thinks I'm the prettiest." Maria said excitedly.
"And....what'd you say when he asked?" Lily said impaciently.
"I said....I said....oh no! I just left! Now he's gonna think I don't wanna go with him." Maria said frowning slightly.
"WHY'D YOU LEAVE?" Lily said standing up.
"Well...I got so excited I went to go find one of you girls to tell. But then I got too excited and went to get some food." Maria said staring at her food.
"Stupid git. Should have said yes." Lily said sitting down looking disappointed. But then both girls realised James had been listening to every word they had said.
"Um...well, if you haven't got the picture yet James, don't tell Remus?" Maria said pleadingly.
"Well why not?" James asked.
"It's complicated." Maria said.
"But I'm sure if..." James began to say but was cut-off by Lily.
"Just don't!" she said looking very sturn. " Come on lets just go." Lily said getting up.
"But we just go here." James complained.
"But I want to go now." Lily said.
"James don't argue. Just go." Maria said getting up and leaving the kitchen.
James and Lily headed out of the kitchen, noticing Maria had already left. They started walking in silence. But soon James whispered somthing to Lily.
"Lily, you won't tell anyone about my sister will you?" James asked.
"You mean no one knows?" Lily replied.
"Only Sirus." James said staring at the floor as they walked.
"No, I promise your secret's safe with me. James, you won't tell will you?" Lily asked nervously.
"Sure, I told you I won't tell Remus about maria liking him like she does." James said.
Lily stared at the floor as she whispered. "No, I mean, about my....."
