Chapter Ten

Wrapping her cloak around her she headed to the deserted classroom, as before Mad-Eye was sat in a chair waiting for her "Auror Moody, I have something to tell you, I believe I don't want to continue with these lessons anymore, I am sorry for wasting your time these past few weeks and I thank you for giving me a chance." After finishing her well rehearsed speech she turned to leave but Mad-Eye called out to her "Hey Girl, you are going to want to see this." She turned back to him and he had a wooden bowl in front of him, it contained a blue and silver liquid. "Its called a Pensive, sit down and I will show you something, you still want to quit after then that's up to you."

She moved over slowly and looked at the Auror "I'm sorry the last lesson ended up with you in the hospital, you were better then I thought kid, won't underestimate you again." She nodded but did not elaborate "This allows you to walk in memories with out intruding the mind, you can take a specific memory and see it again, and it helps with understanding...sometimes." Melissa leant forward and fell into the memory she saw Mad-Eye and her father in front of her but a hand on her shoulder made her aware that Mad-Eye was behind her watching as well, she realised Mad-Eye was yelling at her father about Melissa, her father said she was worthless and only good for a slapping, she jumped slightly when Mad-Eye grabbed her father by the throat and slammed him against the wall on the other side of the room. This is when her father sent a hex towards him, Mad-Eye deflected it and it exploded above her fathers head, her father stood and still shouting asked what an old man like Mad-Eye saw in a young girl like Melissa. Mad-Eye understood the connotations and stomped over to the man, Melissa had never seen her father afraid before but she could tell he was worried. "It so happens Mr Cayton I am teaching you daughter the skills needed to be an Auror, she is a fine student and has a mass amount of natural ability, and she also has a desire to put evil creatures like you where you belong."

Her father almost spat his reply "If she is going to be an Auror then she is no daughter of mine." What Mad-Eye said next made Melissa swell with pride and pain "No she is defiantly her mother's daughter." With that Mad-Eye head butted the man and knocked him out, he then took a picture from the mantle, it was of her mother smiling and laughing during a summer day, it was the only picture of her mother and Melissa was never allowed to be caught looking at.

She felt herself falling again and stumbled back slightly, Mad-Eye didn't say anything to her but put his hand in his pocket and brought out the picture from the mantle, he handed it to her and she stared at it, refusing to cry in front of him. Although when she spoke her voice was full of tears "Thank you, for standing up to him, when I couldn't, sorry he tried to hex you," He laughed and slapped her on the back "That was not hexing that was a bad attempt at scaring me, ah like a single hex is going to scare me. You still want to quit?"

Melissa stared at her mothers picture and tried to stop the emotions that were coming, she didn't speak but shock her head, it was the Mad-Eye who surprised her "I think you need a few weeks off, I will send you an owl in a while letting you know when the next lesson is. Now get back to your dorm you look half dead." She laughed and thanked him before leaving.

She couldn't take her mind off her mother's picture, she missed her so much and couldn't remember her very well, she did remember how she smelt but not the sound of her voice, the smell was enough though. She slid the picture into her bag and wiped her eyes, it hit her that she would most likely be questioned, everyone would know her father was a dark wizard, she knew Remus was okay with it but she didn't know about the other students, Lily and Rose would hopefully understand that she is not her father but still it worried her.

As she left the dark hall and walked out to the ground taking the short cut back to the common room she realised it was raining heavily, she stood there for a moment watching it, as she was just about to turn into the corridor and walk the long way back Sirius came speeding around the corner and almost bumped into her. He was soaked and his hair was dripping with rain, he walked passed her and into the corridor before calling back to her "Are you coming or not? I assume you heading back to the common room." She turned and saw him leaning against the door frame "I think I will walk a different way thank you." With that she turned and walked into the blinding rain, she heard him call out to her but carried on walking although she had gotten turned around and knew she was heading in the wrong direction she did not stop.

She jumped when he turned her around and pulled her back to the doorway they had just left "Congratulations your stupidity has soaked you, you would really rather walk in the tipping rain for half an hour then walk with me for a bit longer then that?" She pulled from his grasp and walked past him into the corridor, once again she jumped slightly as he pulled her around to face him. "What do you want Black?" Sirius brought his face close to hers and her breath caught in her chest as his warm breath caught her neck, he brought his lips to her ear and whispered "I want….absolutely nothing Issa." With that he leaned back and smiled sarcastically before walking past her, she let him go and waited a moment before following hoping he would storm off to avoid her, she turned the next corner and jumped back as he was there leaning on the wall casually.

She ignored him and continued walking although he caught up to her and walked beside her, "What are you doing up this end of the castle? It's just full of deserted rooms and storage areas, is there something you know that I don't!" She carried on walking while answering "There is a lot I know that you don't Black." She stopped and turned to him when she felt a warm sensation "What did you do?" He looked smug and he was dry, in fact so was she "A drying spell apparently there is something I know that you don't, unless you wish to catch a cold." She rolled her eyes and carried on walking "What no thank you? That's gratitude for you." She turned and stormed back to him "Gratitude, you have made my life hell for the past few years why would I be grateful to you for your one act of kindness which I suspect to be part of a prank."

He smiled and looked her up and down slowly "Because Issa, I realised something, you may not like me, you may truly hate me but you still kissed me, twice if I remember correctly." She put her hands on her hips and stomped her foot "That Black was hormones and nothing else!" He moved forwards and she took a few steps back, she was aware there was a door behind her and he once again had her trapped although he was not touching her.

"Hormones would mean you would have gone out and kissed other guys trying to find one that makes you feel the way I did, hormones wouldn't be the cause for you to keep coming back to kiss me." She crossed her arms in front of her "Two times does not count as 'keep coming back' and if you must know I have been rather busy lately too busy to care about finding a boyfriend."

It was at this point Sirius put a hand on the door by her shoulder and leaned close to her again "I don't want to be your boyfriend Issa." She frowned "Then what are you going on about?" He smiled and she licked her lips absently but noticed his eyes following her tongue "I have kissed a lot of girls Issa and they all fall over themselves to please me, you on the other hand, you are so full of anger towards me that when we do kiss it is like fire, I have no idea if you are going to slap me, hex me or kiss me back, its like nothing else I have felt." Before she could answer he closed the gap between them and brought his lips to hers but he did not kiss her instead he whispered "Tell me you don't want me to do this and I will never think about kissing you again, all you have to do is say I don't set you on fire and I will never bother you, never again."

He didn't move his head but brought his other hand to her waste and rested it there slowly stroking his thumb in circles over the material of her shirt, after a moment of her having no idea what to say but not wanting him to stop what his thumb was doing she just waited but he whispered again, although sounding huskier this time "I am waiting Issa, its up to you, I won't leave and I won't continue until you tell me what you want." He pressed his body into hers slightly "Do you want this or do you want me to leave?" With that he lifted off her and dropped his hand from her though his face stayed close to hers.

When she spoke it was barely above a whisper "I don't know what I want, I just don't know." He moved his head and nuzzled her neck before breathing heavily into her ear "Shame." With that he moved off her and began to walk away, she stood there frozen to the spot fighting the desire to call him back. She waited for a while before she headed to the common room, when she got back Sirius was laughing with Peter and James, Remus was also there but he was currently talking to Rose, both of them looked embarrassed but happy.

Melissa slipped up stairs and as she turned back to glance at Sirius he winked at her, a smug look on his face, furious for him catching her looking she didn't come down all that night and spent the time reading more of the Auror books. She had skipped dinner that night because she was nervous about seeing Mad-Eye, long after the others had gone to sleep she decided to go down stairs and see if she could find something the house elves had left, if not she knew where the kitchens were.

To her amazement there was a plate of food on the table by the fire, the note informed her that Remus had left it for her; she smiled but froze when Sirius spoke softly from right behind her "Hungry Issa? Shame I thought you had made up your mind about us and come to tell me your answer." She could feel his breath on her shoulder and knew if she leaned back he would be right there, but she closed her eyes and remembered she hated him "There is no us Black, just me and this plate of food." He did not move away from her "Keep telling yourself that Issa, say it enough times and maybe you will start to believe it." He laughed quietly before leaving, Melissa decided to take the plate back to the bedroom to eat it, and she also made a mental note not to go to the common room in the middle of the night.
