Chapter Nine
'THE APOLOGIES OF SIRIUS BLACK'
Sirius stared after her as she sauntered down the stairs. What had he done? He felt awful, and now he wished that he didn't say them stupid chat up lines. Sirius thought about following her, but he knew that there was a possibility that the Head Boy would be in that stupid Common Room. He didn't want to risk his chances in human form, so he changed back into a dog and took the route that Emily took and entered the secret Common Room.

Emily slumped into an armchair nearest the window. The inky darkness of the night sky interfered with her eyesight, making her walk towards a corner and turn the lights on. There was no-one there but her, and she wondered if Jack had ever entered here.
She sighed, why did she let what Sirius said get to her? She knew he was joking, so why did it bother her so much? The familiar heavy panting of Snuffles hit her ears the moment he entered the Common Room, "Sirius!" She hissed, "I thought I said that I wanted to be alone?"
"I wanted to see if you were okay," Sirius mumbled as he morphed back into a human. "Well I'm fine; you can go back to my dorm now,"
"Not going to happen,"
"Why not?"
"Dammit Emmy! I've hurt your feelings, and I'm really sorry for it. Why can't you see that?"
"Because you don't really mean it,"
"What makes you say that?"
Emily turned to face Sirius and glared at him, "Why would you mean it? You barely know me, and the most time we've ever spent together you've been Snuffles, my pet dog. Remember?" She snapped.
"Emily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was reckless and stupid, and I didn't think," Sirius answered compassionately. It was the first time he'd called her 'Emily' and not 'Emmy.' It seemed like he really meant it.
"You said you'd help me, any sane person would have handed me over to the Ministry by now," Sirius continued, "Therefore I am eternally in your debt. How can I not feel bad if I've hurt your feelings?"
Emily pondered this for a moment. Sirius seemed genuinely mortified at the fact that he'd hurt her, and he was incalculably sorry.
Surely it was the right thing to forgive him? He was lucky that she wasn't one for holding grudges, or she'd never forgive him. "Okay fine," Emily sighed, looking him in the eyes, "I forgive you,"
Sirius smirked at her, and his face lit up like a child's did on Christmas morning. Emily smiled at him, "Are you coming back to your dorm? And man, that sounds weird," Sirius guffawed hysterically.
"I suppose so," Emily shrugged, turning round to go up the staircase that lead to her dorm, "But this time don't frighten me in the morning with your seductively playful early morning habits," Emily teased, "Oh don't worry Emmy," Sirius grinned, "I will,"
Yay, she forgave him! Woop woop!! I was thinking of like, making them get closer in the next couple of chapters, and then maybe get them to kiss? Dis-freaking-claimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
