Chapter eleven

"Mind if I take a sit?" Remus said at Ali, who was sitting with Sirius and James in the great hall. It was the first time he spoke to her ever since the infirmary, a weird sensation invaded her.

"No, not at all" She said with a smile, which disappeared the moment she saw Amelia by his side.

Fortunately for her they sat in front of Ali. She had never hated Amelia, but right now as she saw her hand in hand with Remus she wanted to stab her with her fork.

"Where have you been I haven't seen you in ages?" Remus asked Ali, who was trying to avoid them, unfortunately she couldn't.

"I was at the lake"

"Who's the lucky guy?" He asked with a wide smile.

"No one, I was alone" You, you are the lucky guy…

"To bad, perhaps one they you will find someone just like I found my Remmy baby" She said in a passive aggressive tone with an unpleasant smile before giving him a kiss.

"If you excuse me I'm going to go vomit" She said softly.

"Ali" Remus said surprised. At that Ali stopped.

"It's all right Remmy, leave her, I don't like her much" the last part she said almost whispering; yet Ali, Sirius and James heard her.

"Is she joking?" Said Sirius angry.

"Yeah Remmy, it's all right, leave me" She said angrily at him and left.

She couldn't believe he hadn't said a thing, it wasn't like she was her girlfriend or anything, but she was still her friend, wasn't she?

"I don't fucking believe you" Sirius said at Remus, who was now kissing Amelia. "You know what vomiting actually sounds like a nice plan" Sirius said angrily before leaving.

"Howdy love " Sirius said as he sat by Ali's side, who was in one of the benches in the main patio. "Mind if I join you?"

"Mhm" She said hiding her face.

He took her chin with one of her hands and made her look at him. A tear was slipping down her cheek, Sirius cleaned it with his thumb.

"Don't cry over him love, please"

"Tears of frustration, I've had them ever since I was a child," She said with a smile "Sirius can I ask you something?"

"Anything"

"Did I ever make you feel like this?" At his weak smile her heart sunk even lower "I'm so sorry, I never meant to- I never thought-"

"Don't worry about it love, I understand, I didn't give you many reasons to think I was trustworthy myself" He smiled at her.

"You are wonderful Sirius, why can't you be this guy all the time?" She said with a laugh that made him smile crookedly.

"Because then this moments wouldn't be as important, would they now?" He said making Ali laugh. "See, that's better. Let's go rescue James, he's probably trying to kill himself with a spoon right now"

"He wouldn't kill her first would he?" She said with a vicious smirk.

"We wouldn't be so lucky, I could do it though" His smirk matched hers, making her laugh fondly.

Through the rest of the week Ali spent most of her time with Sirius and James who were avoiding 'Remmy-baby' and Amelia, as they were basically physically ill each time they saw them snogging, which was rather usual. Hadn't Amelia been so utterly annoying they would have given her a shot because it meant that their buddy was happy, hell even Ali would have, but she was extremely, utterly, annoyingly annoying.

"You really spend a lot of time around men don't you?" Amelia had said in that infuriating tone she had when talking to Ali.

Sirius and her had been walking when they were cornered by Remus and Amelia. They had tried to ran to the opposite side, yet it was too late.

"Apparently I do, why?" She answered curiously.

Sirius was waiting for the answer as much as Ali.

"Nothing, it's just that many girls here think that makes you slutty" She said with a superior tone.

Sirius's hand curved into a fist. Remus just stood there, silent, and Ali's mouth gaped.

"Many girls think so, or you think so Amelia?"

"To be honest, both"

"To be honest, many girls think you are a passive- aggressive, stuck up, cocky, self-conceited bitch with a competitive issue" She said with a smile as fake as the one Amelia was given her "Oh and also to be honest, I think so as well"

Sirius was smiling proudly at her.

"Ali!" Remus said outraged at her.

"What Remus? Now you are going to start talking? You've been nothing but her lap dog for almost a week, I thought we still could at least get along" Her eyes were beginning to water because of all the anger and repressed feelings inside her.

Ali looked expectantly at him. Sirius had his arm across Ali so as to avoid her from attacking Amelia, which he knew she was about to.

"It's not my fault if that is what they think"

Ali gaped at him and now she had to held Sirius to avoid him from murdering his mate.

"Are you really going to talk like that to your friend because that twat says so?" Sirius said outraged.

"Don't call her a twat! She is my girlfriend" Remus said defensively. Taking Sirius by his shirt.

"And I thought I was your friend!" Ali yelled at him.

"I thought you were too, but apparently neither of you can stand me being this happy"

"You asshole!" Ali yelled at him and was about to slap him, yet Sirius out ran her and punched him in the nose.

"I don't know what the fuck happened to you, but I want my mate back" Sirius said after he punched him "Let's go Ali" he grabbed her by the hand and they left.

Even as blinded by anger as she was Ali managed to see something in Remus's eyes. Yet she didn't say a thing, it wasn't the moment. Besides she knew that if she went back there she would punch Amelia as hard as Sirius had, yet not only for what she had said…
