*Sirius's point of view!*
Chapter 10
I gently dragged the weeping Summer into our dorm, and closed the door behind us, surrounding us in darkness.
"Who was it Pads?" came Moony's voice.
"Turn on the damn light! I can't see a thing!" I hissed, as Snoots wept into my bare shoulder.
"Don't... I'm trying to get to sleep..." came James's muffled voice.
I was just about to protest when Summer let go of me, wiping her tears away, and she looked like she was making her towards the bathroom blindly, when she tripped on something, and came crashing down on the floor, and started her sobbing again.
"For Merlins sake! Just let Sirius turn on a light, if he's gonna cry about it!" Wormtail's angry voice slashed through the sobs, efficiently stopping her crying.
"Uuuh, nope, I'm not the one crying about it- but if you would turn a light on, maybe you would be able to see who has decided to join us on this pleasant early morning, guys" I said through gritted teeth. Someone turned a light on, and I heard everyone groan as the brightness hit our eyes.
"What are you talking about, Sirius?" Remus said, sitting up in his bed. I nodded in Summer's direction, where she was sitting on the floor, near the end of James's bed, evidently just tripped on his trunk.
"Snoots?" Peter asked, looking incredulously at her. I started to make my way over to her, watching as sobs shook her body, but Prongs's shout, and sudden movement, made me change direction, and I went and sat on my bed, and watched the scene.
"Summer!" James shouted and leapt of the bed, to cradle her on the floor. The only reaction he got was that she started to sob louder.
"What's wrong? Is Collate still bothering you? Want me to go bash him up?" James asked her, soothing her hair.
"N-no... I don't... care about th-that scum...anymore...Lily and I-I... had a... had a fight, and s-she said horrible... I have n-no where t-to sleep...worst b-birthday ever!" She cried, in between sobs. The poor girl- her hair was going wild, she was barefooted, and her makeup had ran down her face. I looked away from her, I couldn't stand to see her cry- it was like my world was coming crashing down, with every tear she shed. Even when I think about that scum ball who did this to her, I only see red, and I feel like punching something. As if someone could do that to Sum? Someone who is so nice, caring, beautiful, smart, funny, beautiful... i hook my head, and listened to what Remus was saying.
"You and Lily had a fight?" Moony asked sadly.
"Y-yes...and I can't s-stay with her any...anymore" Summer sniffed, wiping her eyes.
"What happened? What was it about?" James asked concernedly, looking at Sum.
"She yelled at me... said mean stuff to me... I tried to tell her otherwise...but she wouldn't listen... she h-hates me now!" said Summer, prying herself of Prongs, and standing up.
"I'm sure she doesn't hate you Snoots!" Remus smiled at her, reassuringly.
"And I'm sure things will blow over in a couple of days" Peter said, joining in.
"And you are more than welcome to stay with us, in the meantime, you're always welcome with us" James said, also standing up. I closely watched Sum- not saying a word. There was something she was hiding from us, I could see it in her eyes... she didn't answer James's question when he asked 'what was it about?'. I wondered why she wasn't telling us- she tells us everything! I watched as she smiled thankfully at us, and walked into our bathroom, and closed the door behind her. James sighed, and got back into his bed, making room so Sum could bunk with him.
"I don't know about you guys, but I have a feeling that she is keeping something from us" I whispered.
"How do you mean?" Peter's voice came confused.
"What... you think there is something about Collate that she's not telling us about?" Remus asked, eyeing me.
"No, no, I mean... something about her and Lily. I mean, she didn't even say what they fought over" I said thoughtfully.
"Pads- they're girls, do you honestly want to know what they were fighting over?" James chuckled.
"Well, If its making her this upset, then yes, I would like to know what they were fighting over" I said, getting angry. They all seem to think that she would go back to Lily in the morning, but the way she was talking about their fight, it seemed like it was something serious.
"Calm down Sirius, James was just saying that girls squabble all the time, I'm sure they will forgive each other by the time tomorrow ends" Moony said soothingly. I was about to say more on the subject when Sum walked in, wearing my Quidditch jumper, showing off her legs. Her very nice legs, if I do say so myself. My eyes travelled back upwards and to my horror, saw her staring at me, obviously just noticing that I was pretty much checking her out. Also, to my horror, I felt my face burn up in a blush, so I quickly rolled over onto my side, hoping she didn't notice. I heard her get into bed with James, so I picked up my wand from the bedside table, and flicked it, so the light would go off.
"Sirius? James? I'm holding tryouts for the team tomorrow, so make sure your there" Summer's faint voice rang across the room.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" I yawned. I heard her softly snort, and I grinned- happy to make her happy- and finally went to sleep.
"Sirius...Siiirrrriiiuuuusss...Paaaaaadddss...Paaaaaadfoooott" I heard a voice sing. I groaned and rolled over, covering my eyes from the sun.
"Sirius? Come ON, Sirius, we have tryouts in half an hour, you need to get up, so you can get dressed, and we can grab some lunch, and go!" The same voice whined. Lunch? So It was afternoon? Ugh, that means school in a few hours. I ignored the voice- nothing was gonna get me up this morning. NOTHING.
"Jaaaaaames, he isn't getting uuuuuuup!" the voice continued to whine, as I heard the door open, and footsteps walk in. And then there was an intake of breath.
"Summer! Put some clothes on- before someone sees you!" I heard James yell. What did he say? Summer- no clothes? What was she doing? I shot up, and tumbled off my bed, quickly looking around my surroundings, only to find James laughing his head off in the middle of the room, and Summer (fully clothed in her Quidditch gear) standing next to my bed, with an eyebrow raised.
"You got out of bed, just to see me naked?" She asked, tapping her foot on the floor.
"Uh, no, I was getting out of bed to help cover your body-like James said- before somebody sees you" I answered quickly-being a mastermind at lying has its advantages.
She looked at me sceptically before telling me to hurry up and get dressed and that her and James would meet me in the great hall, to have some lunch before tryouts. I watched them walk out, before trudging around the room putting on my gear, fixing my hair, and brushing my teeth. After I was ready, I walked out of the dorm, and into the common room, where I got a few 'Good luck!'s and 'Have fun Sirius!'s from various Gryffindor girls. I winked at them, and continued on my way out of the common room, and down all the staircases until I reached the Great Hall. I walked up behind Sum and James, and tapped them on the shoulder.
"I see your not disappointed anymore?" James asked me smirking.
"Hmm?" I asked confusedly.
"Disappointed that Snoots wasn't naked when you sprung from you bed" Prongs said, holding back a laugh. I glared at him, while Sum hit him upside the head.
"Ready to go? People will be there in about 5 mins" Snoots said, standing up. I grabbed a readymade sandwich, and popped it into my mouth, tasting chicken.
"Where is Remus and Peter?" I asked, through mouthfuls, as we all made our way out into the grounds.
"They're at the library, Moony is helping Peter with some homework" Prongs answered me.
"And have you made up with Lily yet?" I asked looking at Summer, watching for any emotion she might portray.
"Nope, I have not made up with Lily yet" She said shortly, lifting her chin, and quickening her pace. I glanced at James, who just shrugged, and matched her pace.
"Well then, how did you get your Quidditch gear?" I asked her, also matching their fast pace towards the pitch.
"I snuck in when she wasn't in there, now can we hurry up? I don't wanna be late to tryouts- as I am captain" She said, breaking into a jog. Me and Prongs shared another glance, before breaking into a jog to keep up with her. After the tryouts, and after Summer had announced who had got on the team- James, Summer and I as chaser's, Jack Magoon and Marcus Liby as beaters, Daphne Rona as Keeper, and Karena McGill as seeker- we all walked back up to the castle together, talking loudly about Quidditch matches, and how we were going to win the cup this year.
"Oh, I forgot to lock the change rooms, I'll be back" Sum said to us as she turned around and ran all the way back.
"I'll walk back with her" I said to James, who nodded, and kept walking with the team. I sprinted after Snoots, trying to catch up with her, and just saw her putting away her wand after doing the charm to lock up. I was just going to reveal myself to walk with her when I saw Collate beat me to it.
"Hi Sum-sum" I heard him say softly. Ew, what a retarded nick name.
"Don't call me that- in fact, don't call me at all" She growled.
"You know I didn't mean to cheat on you babe, it...just...sorta... happened, I guess" He fumbled over his words. I watched in horror, as I saw Summer turn towards him, smiling sweetly at him. She wouldn't believe him...would she? That bastard just pours out the lies, doesn't he?
Snoots raised her hand and slapped him across the cheek. "Oh, babe, if only I believed you" She said smiling at him. I smiled, glad to see she wasn't upset or crying, and that she was still standing strong. Summer turned around and started walking towards me to go back up to the castle when he grabbed her wrist. I kept my eyes on him, as he yanked her back and whispered something in her ear. He then pushed her against the changing room wall, and pinned her arms above her head.
It was like my world had stopped spinning. What did he think he was doing? I lunged forwards around the corner of the changing rooms, and tackled him to the ground, efficiently cutting him off from Sum. I sat on top of him and started punching every piece of him I could see, while he was still in shock to what was going on.
"SIRIUS! SIRIUS STOP! JUST LET HIM GO! YOU WILL GET INTO TROUBLE!" I could hear Summer scream at me. But it didn't matter, I just wanted to kill the guy for even touching her. That piece of shit didn't even deserve to be around her. Collate finally came to his senses and started punching me back, giving me all he got. But I was pleased to say I was stronger, and I easily over powered his punches. He obviously thought so as well, because he stopped punching me and put his arms over his head in an attempt to shield himself. Coward, I thought, as I raised my fist to deliver a powerful blow. But before I could do so, a small, soft, warm hand was put on my back, and I instantly relaxed at the touch. I heard Summer whisper in my ear 'He's not worth you getting in trouble for' which sent chills down my spine, and my eyes closed at her smooth silky whisper. My rage subsided and I got off Collate, glared at him once more, before taking Snoots's hand in my big rough one, and walked swiftly back up to the castle.
We decided to not tell anyone of what just happened, as it would raise questioning about reasons why Collate got punched (the school was under the impression that Summer and Collate had just broken up mutually), so we didn't even tell the boys, just in case someone over heard us. The rest of the day went fine, with me keeping a close eye on Summer in case she wondered off alone again, and one eye on Collate in case he decided to blab to a teacher. Thankfully none of these events happened, and the day passed with us Marauders just lounging about, attempting, but of course never really finishing, due homework.
*A/N- Thanks for the reviews guys! I love to hear what you guys are thinking! Xoxo*
