Okay, so their relationship takes a turn for the worse, poor them…What's actually so funny is that right when we enter the actual plot, I find the best place to wrap up the story. This will probably be the last chapter:

DISCLAIMER: No, I do not own Harry Potter. I am, however, training my dog to be an owl.

I cried all day.

My friends tried to comfort me, to tell me that it was okay, that everything was fine and I was going to be alright. But the truth was, I wasn't going to be alright. Not if I still liked Sam. The only way I'd be alright was if I truly accepted Sirius as the man I loved, and it didn't seem like that was going to happen. That was why I cried. Because Sirius deserved better than a girlfriend who thought about another boy. Yes, Sirius deserved better.

That was the first time I thought I was worse than Lizzy.

As egotistical as that sounds, I had thought that Sam deserved better, that he deserved me. So, I was egotistical. And because I wouldn't let him go, I hurt the man I truly loved and truly wanted to never hurt.

That's why Sirius deserved better.

Because I was too proud to give up my first love. Even when my second was greater still.

And so, I cried. And when we went to class the next day, I looked terrible. But I didn't really care.

--SIRIUS POV

"I hate that stupid, bloody necklace," Sirius muttered. "I hate that Sam bloke too."

"Mate, it isn't his fault," James told his best friend. As much as he wanted to tell Sirius that it was all Alex's fault, he wouldn't. Because he knew that wouldn't help.

Sirius rubbed his head. "I know," he replied. "I'm just angry, I wish there never was a stupid necklace." He looked up at James. "But more importantly, I wish I could tell her the truth."

James's jaw tightened and shook his head. "No."

Sirius sighed and put his head in his hands. "I know."

They sat in the common room together for the rest of the day. Neither spoke, but the company was enough for Sirius. He felt the comfort James was trying to give him. All he had left was hope.

The next day, when he saw Alex, she burst into tears, and ran away. This only made Sirius feel worse.

--ALEX POV

I never wanted this to happen. Sirius and I were supposed to have a happily-ever-after…

And then, I got an idea.

--

"Take it," I said.

"Why?" Sam asked, staring at me. "It was a gift, you keep it."

"I can't," I replied jingling the necklace. "I can't have it here to distract me anymore. Sam, I love Sirius," I told him earnestly. "And I love him more than I ever loved you, but you still have a place in my heart. Sam, I need to forget about you. I'm sorry, but my relationship with Sirius is more important than a necklace from my old boyfriend."

Sam ran a hand through his hair. "I understand," he replied. "Good luck with Sirius, Alex, he's a good guy."

"Thanks," I replied, and dropped the necklace into his hand, walking away before I could change my mind.

--

"I got rid of the necklace."

"What?"

I looked at Sirius and smiled. "Listen, I may still have a place for Sam in my heart, but eventually, I'll forget about him. I love you so much more. So Sirius, I gave him back the necklace, because I don't need to be reminded of him anymore."

Sirius smiled lightheartedly before he brought his lips to mine. "I'll wait."

--

And eventually, I did forget Sam, and Sirius and I did live happily-ever-after. We married straight out of school.

--not really anyone's POV…

Alex went on to become an Auror and died before Sirius and Alex's first anniversary. Before she died, she asked Lily to give James a shot. Lily and James got married shortly after. Alex legally became Harry's godmother, even after death, in order to honor her memory. Her extraordinary and unique mind drastically changed the wizarding world.

May she rest in peace.

THE END
