Things of the Past
Ch 10
The next morning all the students who had gone to the ball slept until lunch. Lily awoke to find Kim already awake all curled up staring out the window into the abysmal morning light.
Lily stood up and walked behind her she now notice what Kim must have been staring at. Down in the courtyard Lily noticed James and Sirius playing gleefully outside. Lily looked at Kim who had a miniscule grin on her face.
"You are so incredibly smitten with him" Lily said near laughter
"Oh shut up Lily! You are head over heels for James and you don't see me busting your ass about it"
"Well that's because, NEWSFLASH I DON'T CARE! In fact I don't care if everyone in the school knows James bit me with the love bug" She added in laughter, and she shook her head
"You just don't understand the way it is with Sirius! Its different, I mean sure he is sweet and everything, but you know his reputation. I mean I know he is your friend and everything but I don't know if any of it is true or what to believe! So much of what he has told me could just be a guy who wanted to get with a girl"
Lily at first angry at Kim's accusations, then thought about it and slowly began to agree, she could see where Kim was coming from. Kim looked at her again.
"I don't know I just don't want to fall to hard for someone like him.he just seems so genuine but it just make me wonder if he had been the same way to Cheril too"
Cheril was a sixth year Ravenclaw had dated for a while last year. She was pretty and smart and from what Lily could tell he wanted a change from the dull girls he so often found himself attracting.
Gossip had let loose Cheril and Sirius were pretty hot and heavy, now how hot and heavy Lily had never asked but when they broke up stories flew around like wildfire.
From what Lily could gather Cheril had cheated on Sirius with Amos Diggory, a Hufflepuff prefect. This had led to a huge fight in front of the entire student body, and Sirius being as rash as he was didn't think before he said anything and was shouting things along the lines of:
"I never wanted to be with you, I felt sorry for you because all the guys were afraid of you and you know what all I ever wanted from you I have already received"
At the last of those words many mouths just gaped in shock. Sirius then glared at Cheril, whose eyes were now filling with tears and Amos whose mouth now also gaped, and left.
Lily had asked Sirius about this argument once because she had found it so difficult to believe, he had told her he had been hurt, he felt like he had given her almost everything he kept to himself and she had betrayed him.
"Love is giving someone the ability to break your heart but trusting them not to"
That's what he had told her, and Cheril had broken that trust and he hated that and wanted her to feel as crummy as he did. So he came up with the most terrible things he could think of, and then ran off to the Room of Requirement and cried until James found him and made him realize what he had just done.
Sirius had admitted to Lily though that at first he had just planned on using Cheril, but the relationship had evolved into more than that, which was something Lily refused to tell Kim.
"O well I guess I will just have to be careful then right?"
Lily looked around again in hopes to see james but he and Sirius were no longer in the courtyard. Suddenly a knock came pounding on the door
"James and Sirius rewyest to see their lovely maidens!" Lily shot a smirk and kim and ran to open the burly door, there James swept her up and carried her down the stairs laughing all the way.
Sirius smiled and looked at Kim who still seemed to be a little troubled. He kissed her for head gently, and Kim closed her eyes,
"Whats wrong stinky?" he asked grinning
"What are we doing here Sirius?"
"Well at the moment we are standing and I'm looking at you and you are sort of looking at me and we are talking"
"No Sirius I mean with us" Sirius' grin faded as he saw the look on Kim's face, it was so confused
"Well I mean I like you and well I mean I think I guess you like me and well I don't know I guess-" Kim abruptly interrupted,
"What happened with you and Cheril?" she asked at last, Sirius' eyes widened, this was not the conversation he had been expecting to have with her.
"Well I don't know we got really close and I thought we had that connection you know? I thought I felt something. great. but I was wrong. Despite what everyone may say or says about that we. well you know had sex, we didn't I wanted to save it until I was sure and she was sure. Cheril tried to coax me into it a few times but I always drew back and told her the same thing, I didn't think she wanted it for the right reasons, and to me that just didn't seem right, I guess"
He saw a look of hesitation scattered across her face.
"Look I know I'm not perfect and I know I have, well a reputation but Kim?" he said drawing her face to his, "I care about you, we were friends first, which makes us different from me and any other relationship I have been in, I already love you as a person, but in love.I guess we'll see, I just want to be with you"
For some reason Kim felt a sudden stir of relief in his words.
Downstairs Lily and James were playing around with each other and at this very moment James was holding Lily's Legs at about shoulder level and swinging her around
"James Potter stop this instant!" She tried to yell but she was simply laughing too hard and fighting to keep her shirt down.
James finally set her down with at which she replied by slapping him jokingly and then kissed and made up as they were probably going to do for the rest of their lives.
That night the marauders had agreed to make a boy's night. Leaving their girlfriends to the other room to likewise have a girl's night.
"So James have you and Lily set a date yet?" asked Remus jokingly.
"Shut up Moony!" James replied with a sly smile
"Yeah" Peter added, "At least James had the guts to ask Lily out!"
"Katie doesn't even like me!" "Whatever Moony 'ole pal!"
"Yeah I mean heck even Sirius has guts, he asked out Kim, even though it took him forever!" James laughed
"So what IS going on with you and Kim?" Peter asked eagerly,
"Well she is my girlfriend now if that's what you mean," he smiled "and we have kissed a few times,"
"Well Padfoot," Remus responded "I'm glad to see you have moved on"
"Second that" James added "That Cheril girl was a bitch"
"Yeah I guess but she as a pretty cool person when she wasn't cheating on me with Amos"
