Hello everyone, I'm back! Anyway, sorry I took so long; I just started a new story for the movie "High School Musical", and it kind of took most of my time. SO here goes another update. Oh, yeah, the story now has 101 reviews! (Doing my happy dance) Thank you guys for the support, and that's why I'll try to make this chapter extra long, just for you all, my reviewers. Thanks a lot!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything; I just have fun writing stories! And more fun getting reviews (wink, wink)

I also don't own any of the songs in the chapter

Last chapter:

"Gaby, I need to talk to you" said Sirius

"You already are" said Gaby looking at nothing in particular

"Right, about this morning…" Sirius started to say

"I don't want to talk about it" said Gaby

"We need to talk about it, I need to get it all cleared out" said Sirius looking at Gaby with pleading eyes

"Why is it always about what you want? What you do? What you say? Why is always about you?" asked Gaby madly

"It is not always about me. I just want you to forgive me" said Sirius

"See, forget it. Leave me alone Black… Block" said Gaby walking away

Sirius looked down at the floor; he had to do something to win Gaby's trust back.

New Chapter:

"Lily, thank you for coming with me to the dance" said James

"No problem, I'm quite glad we got over our differences, you turned out to be a not so bad friend" said Lily smiling

"Yes, friend" said James with a little disappointment in his eyes. He saw Malfoy with another blond girl, he was looking at Lily, and James didn't like it.

"Wait, isn't that Sirius, over there by the refreshments table?" asked Lily

"Yes, he looks sad, I guess he hasn't gotten over this morning" responded James "you know, he really likes Gaby"

"Well, if he did like her, why was he so stupid and careless this morning, he really did hurt her you know" said Lily

"I know, but he is hurt too, I've known him since we were kids, and he's never liked a girl like this before" said James sadly

"Well, they do make a cute couple, but at the same time so does Harry" said Lily smiling

"Yes, but Harry is not even from our time, he's… wait, why are we talking about Sirius, Gaby and Harry?" asked James confused

"I have no idea" said Lily laughing "we are so lame"

"Come on, let's try and cheer Sirius up, or at least find Moony or something, he always knows what to do" said James leading Lily out of the dance floor

"Wait, I have always wondered why you call Remus, Moony?" asked Lily

"Just a nickname that we created over the years, I suppose" said James nervously

Lily shrugged and accompanied James to talk to Sirius.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the dance floor….

"Megan, I need to talk to you" said Remus anxiously

"Ok, what is it?" asked Megan

"Well, as you have noticed I, I really like you, and I was wondering if you…. If you wanted to be my girlfriend?" asked Remus tensely

Megan smiled "sure Remus, I would love to be your girlfriend"

"Well then, I think I'm entitled to do this now" said Remus leaning in and kissing Megan softly on the lips. It was short but sweet.

"Come on, let's tell the others the good news!" exclaimed Megan excitedly

"Remus took her hand as they crossed the dancing floor together.

Meanwhile James and Lily where trying to cheer Sirius up…

"Look there's Megan and Remus" said Lily happily

"Hay everyone" said Megan smiling "what are you guys doing?"

"Trying to help Sirius enjoy the ball" whispered Lily

"What's wrong Padfooty?" asked Remus jokingly

"Bite me" snapped Sirius

"I may just have to" said Remus teasingly

"Ha, ha, ha… very funny Remus… not" Sirius said sarcastically

"Come on, cheer up, we're at a party, jump around the tables, flirt with girls, sing those weird songs you always sing" said James

"The only girl I want to flirt with doesn't even want to talk to me" said Sirius sadly

"How about Hermione, she is your date" said Lily

Sirius looked at Lily in a "you've got to be kidding me" kind of way

"Ok, just trying to help" said Lily defensively "where is she anyway?"

"Who Hermione? I saw her dancing with a guy named Melville, or something" said James

"No silly, Gaby" Lily said

"Oh, now that you mention it, I haven't seen her" said Megan looking around "I think she's with Harry"

"No, Harry's dancing with a red head over there" said Remus pointing to the dancing couple

"Maybe we should look for her" said Megan panicking "maybe something happened to her"

"Chillax Megan" said Lily

"Where did you learn that word from?" asked James curiously

"Oh, this American channel on TV" said Lily

"Right… now, we really need to find our friend" said Megan

"She must be here somewhere" said James looking around

Sirius was still looking at the floor thinking of a way to gain Gaby's trust back.

Meanwhile Gaby was sitting in a chair crying silently….

"Are you ok?" asked a guy sitting down next to her

"Huh?" said Gaby turning around while wiping the tears off her face. The guy next to her had longish brown/blond hair, big blue eyes, and a tanned face.

"I'm sorry, I asked if you were okay?" asked the boy

"Umm, yeah" said Gaby

"You don't seem okay to me" said the guy

"I'm not really okay, but I'm not bad" said Gaby

"Well in that case, I'm Troy" said the very, extremely hot guy sticking his hand out

"Gabriela, but you can call me Gaby" she said shaking his hand "are you new here?"

"Yes, I just came here yesterday, I transferred from a school in the United States" said Troy

"Cool, I just came here from Mexico" said Gaby

"You speak really good English" said Troy smiling

"Thank you, I used to practice English in Mexico" Gaby said

"If you don't mind me asking, why were you crying?" asked a concerned Troy

"Well, I, I told this guy, whom I thought I could trust, a very personal secret, and then he goes ahead and tells the whole Great Hall, plus he's a conceited, egoistic, self absorbed monster" said Gaby madly "you must think it's a silly excuse to get mad"

"No, not at all, he should have respected you" said Troy seriously

"Thank you" said Gaby quietly

"No problem, but don't waste your tears on a guy that doesn't deserve them" said Troy half smiling "listen do you think dancing will cheer you up?"

Gaby looked up and into his eyes and smiled, "sure"

They both slowed danced to "Start of Something New"

(Girl singer, boy singer, both)

-Living in my own world

Didn't understand

(A.N -Like I said before I don't own the song, I wish)

Troy was singing the song softly in Gaby's ear, somewhere during the song Gaby's head went down to Troy's shoulder.

Sirius looked up and saw this; the rest of the group saw it too.

"Sirius, there has to be a perfectly good explanation for this" said Lily looking at Sirius worriedly

Sirius looked at the couple with anger and jealousy.

"Sirius, you alright buddy?" asked a very concerned James

"I don't want to talk right now James" said Sirius getting up and walking away from the group and out of the Great Hall

Hermione came over, "why did Sirius left?" she asked

"Look over there" said Remus

"Oh" said Hermione looking at Gaby and another guy

"Great night, isn't it?" asked a very happy Luna with a very annoyed Ron behind her

Nobody answered

"Right… look, here come Harry and my sister" said Ron

"Hey everyone" said Harry "this is Ron's sister, Ginny"

"Nice to meet you Ginny" said Lily smiling

"You too" said Ginny "Harry, who are this people?"

"Tell you later" said Harry "Why are you lot so grim?"

James gestured to look over there

"Huh? Is that Gaby?" asked Harry confused

"Yes, its your date, mate" replied Remus

The music ended and Professor Dumbledore got on stage.

"Students, I'm sorry to say that it is now 11:00, and you shall all go to your dormitories…now"

The students started leaving the Great Hall and each heading to their perspective houses.

"Megan, we'll tell them tomorrow, when things aren't so hectic" said Remus kissing her on the cheek and going up the boy's stairs.

"I had a nice time Lily" said James

"Thank you, me too; see you tomorrow" said Lily kissing James's cheeck and going quickly up the girl's stairs.

Ron left Hermione and Luna at the door and headed upstairs with Harry.

Meanwhile, aside from the Great Hall…

"I had a great time dancing with you" said Gaby "at least that one last dance"

"Me too, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" asked Troy hopefully

"Yes… wait, which house are you in?" questioned Gaby

-Please don't let it be Slytherin, please, please- thought Gaby

"I don't really know yet. The Headmaster thought it would be better if we did the sorting tomorrow during breakfast, meanwhile I'm sleeping in a chamber near his office" answered Troy

Gaby let out a sigh of relief "well then, I'll see you tomorrow, maybe we can eat together, and with my friends"

"Yes, I'd love to, good bye" called out Troy walking away.

When Gaby got to the dormitory Lily, Megan, and Hermione, and Luna all stopped talking abruptly and looked at Gaby evilly.

"What's wrong?" asked Gaby confused

"You, that's what's wrong" said Hermione

"Hermione, don't be that harsh" warned Lily, knowing Gaby had very short temper

"What? Why not? It's not like she's an angel, didn't you see what she did to Sirius?" asked an appalled Hermione

"Yes, but we are going to talk calmly" said Lily

"WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" asked Megan screaming

"What? Why?" asked Gaby

"Here we are defending you for what Sirius did to you like a bunch of idiots, and then the same day you go off and rip Sirius's heart off" said Megan

"I didn't rip his heart, I didn't even talk to him" said Gaby, her voice rising

Lily saw where this was all going to end, "Megan, stop. Let me try and handle it"

"Fine" said Megan calming down

"Gaby, what Megan, and Hermione are trying to say in a not so kind way is that you acted really immorally today" said Lily with her wise words

Luna raised her hand, "Lily, what does memorably mean?"

"Immorally" corrected Lily "means wickedness, evil, mean"

"I did not act wicked today" said Gaby defensively

"Yes you did, you were horrible towards poor Sirius" said Lily

"Poor Sirius? Poor Sirius? How can you say that if he was the one that spilled my secret to the entire Great Hall?" said Gaby fuming

"He said he was sorry, you should have forgave him" said Lily

"Well, and why all this kindness towards Sirius now, I thought you hated them" said Gaby

"Because they're our friends, something you will never be, even if you try as hard as you can, you will never be one of us!" exclaimed Megan angrily

Gaby could feel her eyes filling up with tears, but refused to let them out when she remember what Troy had said. So she grabbed her wand and walked out of the dormitory and into the common room slamming the door as it closed.

"I really messed up, didn't I" asked Megan

Neither Lily nor the others answered, and just went to bed leaving Megan thinking.

Meanwhile in the boys' dormitories…

"Sirius, man, you ok?" asked James

There was no answer.

"Let him think, James" said Remus

"You're right" said James

"Aren't I always?" asked Remus jokingly

"You are" said James seriously

Gaby went outside Hogwarts.

"Accio broom" she said flipping her wand as a broom came towards her flying out of the closest broom closet. She grabbed it and started flying around the school. She cried, and cried.

-I really have no friends; I thought they were my friends. But they're right, I'm not one of them; it's not as if I wanted to be one of them. Who am I trying to fool? I did want to be one of them, to have a friend, to be part of the group. I guess I'm destined to be alone my whole life.-

Something interrupted Gaby's thoughts; she turned around and saw a flock of weird looking, huge birds coming her way. She speed up the broom, and looked back to see where they were. As she did so, she didn't notice she was going directly into a tower, the Gryffindor tower…
