Previously…

"Firewhiskey?" he asked.

Sirius nodded and together the two of them walked back to Charlie's tent.

They ducked under the flap and stopped, Ariel stood before them fury blazing in her eyes. They looked at each other and gulped.

They were in for it now.

Aftermath of the fight

"Sit," she said rather acidly and the two of them sat on chairs silently as Ariel pulled out her wand and conjured up an ice pack, she handed it to Charlie who placed it on his cheek before walking over to Sirius, "bend your head," she commanded.

Sirius did as he was told and winced as Ariel pulled his hair rather roughly apart to expect the wound, he heard her take in a sharp in take of breath before her fingers softly touched the outside of the wound, Sirius winced at one point not wanting her to notice, but she did.

"Does it hurt?" she asked her voice was surprisingly calm and gentle.

Sirius nodded and Ariel conjured up another ice pack,

"To take the swelling down," she told him before placing the ice pack gently on his wound, "hold it."

Sirius did as he was told and held it to his head as Ariel walked over to Charlie, she was still wearing the Quidditch jersey and Sirius realised it was Charlie's but that she was also wearing a pair of shorts underneath it, he looked round the tent and noticed that there were two beds and both of them had been slept in, he cringed, he had made an assumption, idiot.

He turned back to watch Ariel fixing Charlie's nose before taking the ice pack of his face, she nodded before saying something to him, he smiled weakly and nodded his head, Ariel smiled back slightly before getting rid of the ice pack and walking back over to him, Sirius noticed Charlie leave out of the corner of his eye.

Ariel walked towards Sirius, he looked a mess, his lip was swollen from where Charlie had whacked him in the mouth and his nose was bleeding, she shook her head as she looked at the hand that held the ice pack, boys, she thought bitterly, complete nutters.

"How's your head?" she asked before taking the ice pack of and inspecting it.

"It feels fine." Sirius replied, she nodded and tapped it with her wand, it healed instantly before she moved down to his face, healing his wounds as she went, when she reached his lips she had to fight and urge not to kiss them, they still felt smooth and firm after all that time.

"All done," she said before standing up and turning quickly to make herself a cup of tea.

"Thank you," came his soft reply, hearing his voice caused something inside her to snap and she whirled to face him, anger evident.

"What did you come here for Sirius?" she demanded, "Was it not enough to make my boyfriend dump me, now…" she trailed of as his lips covered hers pulling her into the most searing kiss she had ever felt.

"Maria and I broke up," he whispered as he pulled out, "we both knew who I really wanted."

She looked up her dark blue eyes meeting his grey ones and a smile broke through her face. He smiled back before kissing her again and she kissed back before breaking out of it.

"I can't," she breathed.

"Why not?" he asked, "I thought you wanted this?"

He looked angry and Ariel felt slightly guilty but she couldn't just rush back into a relationship with him after what he had done, she needed time to heal.

"I just need some time," she told him, "to think it over, that's all I'm asking Sirius,"

"And what about Abi?" he demanded, "what about Tonks, what about me?"

"What about you Sirius," she snapped, "you're the one who's been playing head games with me! And as for Tonks she'll be fine, I'll still write to her and she can look after Abi for a few weeks," she took a deep breath before glaring straight at him, "Just go," she told him. He stood there and she sighed, "I just need some time Sirius, please." She whispered.

Finally he nodded and Ariel watched as he turned on his heel and apparated out of the tent, she felt her knees buckle and leaned against the kitchen side for support, tears that she had been holding back flowed through her eyes spilling to the floor.

"Ariel," Charlie was back, "I forgot, oh Ariel what happened?" he asked walking towards her.

Ariel didn't reply instead she cried helplessly into his shirt as he stroked her hair comfortingly.

James sat with Lily and Andromeda in the kitchen, Tonks and Ted where out entertaining Harry and Abi in the back yard, Remus with them. There was a loud crack and they looked up as Sirius appeared, he didn't say anything to them but instead stormed out of the room.

Lily looked at James and indicated her head to the door that Sirius had left through; James nodded and got up from the table leaving the room.

He opened the door to the spare bedroom to find Sirius lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. Without saying anything James joined him, together they stared at the ceiling which held a picture of James, Lily, Remus and Sirius all laughing and grinning together.

"I've ruined it," Sirius whispered softly, "I was a big prick and now I've ruined it."

"Did she tell you that?" asked James.

"No," replied Sirius, "but the fact that she didn't come home tells you something."

"Not really," James replied, "look at me and Lily, I annoyed her constantly for six years until we finally became an item and we're still going strong. For god sake she swore she'd never bare my child and look at how that turned out."

"Yeah but you didn't tell her boyfriend that she was a witch thus causing her to dump him while you were going out with another girl."

"You have a point there," James replied.

"Thanks mate."

"Don't worry about it; she'll come back to you, when she's ready," he looked at Sirius, "besides who can't resist your adorable puppy dog pout."

Sirius laughed and together the two of them sat on Sirius bed reminiscing about the times when James had annoyed Lily and the fun they had had at Hogwarts.

A/n: Short chapter I know, but I thought it sounded good like this, I hope it's not too rushed, it shouldn't be. Let me know what you think with a review. :D
