Fall came and went, but neither Sirius nor Larissa had shown any signs of forgiving each other.
"Gosh, James, I'm FREEZING! Frank Longbottom is out of his mind! I mean, none of the other houses practice in DECEMBER," Larissa complained.
"Well, that is the point. To get more training than the other houses do." They walked in silence for a while, and then; "Hey Padfoot!"
Larissa rolled her eyes and stormed off.
"Okay. Attention everybody! I want to take names of everyone who is staying here over the Winter Holiday," shouted Professor McGonagall.
Larissa signed her name; so did James, Sirius, and Akima. Remus and Peter were going home to visit relatives, plus Remus went home every year, due to "health issues".
Larissa went into the girls' dormitory; she had been doing this since the Big Fight.
"Larissa! Stop this! Come on, Lar," Akima called after her. She sat at the foot of Larissa's bed. "Listen Lar, you have to stop this!"
"He used to like me! But I didn't tell him, now look! That stupid little whore, Christine, follows him all over, and he asked her to the Yule ball!" Larissa was sobbing now.
"Lar, listen to me. If he liked you, I'm sure he still does! I mean, after all, HE hasn't been in the best mood since the Big Fight."
"I g-guess you could be right."
"I am always right. I'm a seer you know." She did an impression of Professor Trelawney. Larissa smiled. "Now let's go back out there," she nodded towards the door. "It's the last time you'll see Remus and Peter for 2 weeks. Save them the trouble of sneaking in here later. If they do sneak in later, no doubt they'd play a joke, so please save them the trouble, and me the humiliation."
"Oh fine," said Larissa, wiping her eyes.
They walked into the Gryffindor Common Room, Remus, James, Sirius, Peter, and Frank Longbottom (A 7th year, who was captain of the Quidditch tem) were there.
"What's the mat-" Sirius started. What are you doing?! She isn't talking to you, so why should you let her now that you're worried about her!
"I don't feel good, I'm going to bed" Sirius stated. Why'd you go and do that smarty? That's the way to make her forgive you!
"So, Padfoot, are you really going to the Yule Ball tonight with Christine? A Ravenclaw?" James said.
"Yes, dear Prongs, I am."
"I thought better of you, old friend," said James in mock disappointment. "But still, a Ravenclaw?"
"Isn't it obvious why I'm even going with her?"
"Hmmm…Lets see…Maybe because she's hot, smart and popular?"
"I thought you knew me better than that James."
"Okay then, why are you taking her?"
"See, I know that Larissa hates Christine."
"Yes, and?"
"And Larissa is going with Frank, so I have to get her back. I might have asked her, but she's going with Frank."
"That is ridiculous Sirius! She only went with Frank because YOU asked Christine first! What were you going to ask Lar AFTER Christine said she'd go with you?!"
"You didn't hear me out! My going with Christine will make her JELAOUS!"
James sat down and pulled a piece of parchment closer to him, and started to scribble away madly.
"What are you doing?"
"I have a new "Prediction" for Trelawney's class: Fistfight at the Yule Ball."
"They won't fight. Larissa is very even-tempered. She'll ask me to dance, and then I'll just keep dancing with her, Christine will find someone else to dance with, I mean, she's pretty enough."
Akima's head was spinning with the conversation she just overheard. She had been coming out of the door from the Girl's dormitory to the Gryffindor Common Room. She stopped when she heard James and Sirius's voices. Nosiness comes in handy sometimes, she thought.
"Lar, wake up! Dammit, Lar, wake up!" Akima had turned around right away to go tell Larissa what she had heard.
"Huh? Whad'ya want?" said Larissa groggily.
"Oh My Gosh Lar! You'll never believe what I just heard Sirius tell James…"
Okay, Cliffhanger! Any way, I want 2 reviews, and I'll keep going! Tell me what you think! R/R! Pretty Please!
