Kiss of Fate
Ch 10-Anhelo
During this exchange between Lily and James, the others were having an interesting time down at the Welcoming Feast. At the Gryffindor table Sarena and Ariella sat next to each other, with Remus and Sirius across from them. As they waited for the first years to arrive, Sarena sat chatting with Remus, until she remembered Lily. She looked at the teachers' table and could not see Madame Pomfrey. She looked for Professor McGonagall until she remembered she was out in the hall waiting for the first years. "Oh My Gosh! Lily! 'cuse me Remus, I'll be right back, I need to tell Professor McGonagall about Lily's ankle."
Remus smiled at her as she stood up and walked out of the Great Hall to where Professor McGonagall waited for the fist years. He watched her open the huge door, and step into the hall. He closed his eyes and tipped his head up to the enchanted ceiling, and he opened his eyes and looked up at the moon. Suddenly, he felt condemned, like nothing he did would ever be good enough and he would never get away from his cursed state. He sat there thinking and staring into the enchanted ceiling until Sarena returned five minutes later.
Sarena left the Great Hall quickly, and found Professor McGonagall standing at the top of the stairs.
"Professor McGonagall, I need to tell you something."
Professor McGonagall turned around "Yes Ms. Ross,"
"Well Lily hurt herself on the train, and James took her up to the hospital wing to find Madame Pomfrey, but I didn't see her at the teachers table."
"I see, well Madam Pomfrey is away at a conference for the week, so as soon as the sorting is finished I'll be up to check on her."
"Thank you Professor." Sarena said and returned to the Great Hall.
As she stepped into the Hall full of students' eager to be fed and get on with the feast, she scanned the crowd and saw Remus staring up at the ceiling with a sad expression on his face.
She too looked up and felt the same feeling of being condemned, and that feeling of helplessness she thought she would always feel.
Meanwhile, Ariella and Sirius were having a difficult time with themselves. Ariella and Sirius were having a difficult time with themselves. Ariella was so mad at Sirius, yet somehow all she wanted to do was fight with him so he would kiss her again. Sirius, on the other side, felt the same exact way except he was really scared. What is wrong with you Padfoot? You're the God of Seduction, you're not the seductee!" he thought while trying not to look at Ariella You kissed her, you're still in charge he thought Yeah but somehow you're the one wanting to grovel at her feet for another kiss A voice in his head said. "Oh shove off." He said aloud.
Ariella looked hard at him. "Excuse me?"
Startled, Sirius looked up "Um…Yes?"
She leaned forward, "Got a problem, Black?" she said leaning forward across the table.
Sirius trying to hide his fear leaned in as well. "Maybe I do, but I know you sure didn't when I kissed you on the train."
Staring hard into each other's eyes Ariella whispered, "Just you wait Black, one day you shall be taken from your throne, and you'll never be able to get back on it. You'll be groveling at my feet, begging for me." And with that she sat back and looked at Dumbledore who was about to speak.
After Dumbledores speech, and the sorting, Dumbledore gave his few words and the feast began. Remus and Sarena chatted way but each taking quick glances at the ceiling now and again. Ariella and Sirius on the other hand were silent, Ariella fuming, and Sirius seething, both determined not to look at each other. They looked down at their plates as they ate. Finally when the feast was over, Remus offered to accompany Sarena to the hospital wing to check on Lily, so Ariella followed slowly behind them. Sirius followed Ariella still seething, yet ever muscle in his body was aching to run up to her and push her against the wall. Sirius knew he had a problem for once in his life he wanted someone, he wanted her.
