I must apologize for my previous bout of bitch syndrome. I was having a bad day. Your forgiveness please? Until then read and be happy my friends...
Harry's grin faded at the sight of his flabbergasted godfather. Severus turned to the man and sneered.
"Close your mouth Black, you'll catch flies." he snapped.
Sirius immediately closed his mouth and smiled. He clapped his hands, and squealed with joy. He was just like a girl.
"This is so amazing! My godson's first real relationship. Even if it is with the greasy git! I want to know everything! And I mean everything." Sirius said, sitting in a chair near them. He settled in as if he was waiting for a long story to unfold before his eyes.
Severus eyed him oddly. Harry blinked rapidly. Neither of them said a word.
"Well?" Sirius prompted.
Ss...Ss...Ss...Ss
Hermione, with a sigh, plopped down at the Gryffindor table. She spooned some pudding on her plate, and half-heartedly put the spoon to her mouth.
She had finally exhausted all the libraries infinite resources. Which were not all that infinite. They were limited for one such as her. She could always sneak in a read books from the restricted section, but she didn't feel up to anything like that. She was depressed.
Her eyes scanned the room to land on one cheerful Draco Malfoy who had just entered the Great Hall. She smiled briefly at him, and he , on a whim, walked over. Something told him Miss Granger was in terrible need of his company.
Hh...Hh...Hh
It was terrible in the cell. Trapped like a wild animal. Half out of her mind. She knew of nothing that had happened. Nothing since she'd been shoved into this darkness. She was to the point of talking to herself. To the air. To the ghosts she imagined were listening. Even to the dirt.
She only got food once a week. Water three times. The hallucinations began to get more realistic. Monsters haunted her nightmares. And pain her waking moments. Soon she knew she would crack. Shatter into a million pieces and be no more.
Even with that small voice in the back of her head. It nagged with her. Pleaded with her. Tried to bribe her. Anything to keep her sane, alive. It sounded like someone she knew, but she could hardly remember anything. Faint blurs and whispers.
She knew whatever it was, it was something after all, she missed it. She wanted it back.
Ss...Ss...Ss...Ss
Severus swept his way back to his rooms. Anything for necessity he thought. Pretending to love childish brats included.
Hh...Hh...Hh
And to think he'd gave his heart away so easily. He knew something was funny about it. And Sirius had unveiled it for him. He had his godfather to thank for ending the fake whatever it was.
He needed to talk to Hermione.
Ss...Ss...Ss
Sirius sat dumbfounded in the infirmary. He had just ended something. He hadn't done it on purpose, but done it nevertheless. It was now he was glad Remus was his friend. He went to search him out.
Hh...Hh...Hh
Hermione sat, staring wistfully out the window. Draco had been nothing if not helpful. He had assisted in sorting out her feelings. Jealousy, inadequacy, and loneliness. Everything all in due course. She really needed a life.
Ok that's it this time. But I have good news. This story shall continue for a while. I recently made plans for much more of a storyline. Also sorry for the shortness. I have to evaluate things because I have a bit of writers block. Anyway, review and a new chapter soon I hope!
