'Painfull Emotions'

"Lily, what did you do with my eyeshadow?" Kat asked as she dug through one of her many drawers filled with junk .
"What eyeshadow?" Lily asked as she looked up from from her potions book.
The three girls were all sitting in their dormitory, getting ready for bed. Mercy was at the window seat reading a romance novel, Lily was on her bed doing homework, and Kat was all over the place looking for everything. Kat was awful at keeping up with stuff, her possesions all lay scattered on the floor or her dresser. Lily and Mercy didn't mind, though very neat themselves. To them it wouldn't seem like home without Kat's stuff everywhere.
"My pink eyeshadow that I let you wear last week." Kat said, starting to sound aggravated.
"Oh..." Lily sat thinking for a little while, trying to remember where she had put it. But she forgot all about it when she saw a tear slip down Mercy's cheek. She immediatly put down her potions book and hopped off her bed. She sat down by her friend, wrapping her arms around her. "I'm really, really sorry about your dad, Merce." She said gently. Mercy had told them all about her dad a few weeks earlier, after she had talked to Sirius about it.
Kat, forgetting about the eyeshadow as well, went and sat on Lily's bed, which was right next to the windowseat.
"Oh, thanks. But...that wasn't what I was crying about." Mercy said as she wiped away another tear.
Lily and Kat gave eachother an understanding look. They knew what was wrong with her, they knew that Mercy had had a crush on Sirius for a very long time now, and lately they had noticed it getting much worse.
"Is it about Sirius?" Kat asked softly.
Mercy sniffed and nodded without looking up at her friends. Lily sighed and squeezed Mercy's hand. It hurt both Kat and Lily to see their friend in so much pain, and not be able to help her out of it.
"Merce," Kat started as she got off the bed and kneeled down on the floor in front of her friend. "I'm sure Sirius likes you, too." She said, trying to sound comforting, but knowing that she couldn't do it near as well as Mercy could herself.
Mercy tried to say something, but couldn't, so just shook her head instead. Lily stood up to go get her friend a tissue, since she was crying much more steadily now. Kat took her place on the windowseat.
"You never know, Merce, you really don't." Lily said as she handed the box of tissues to Mercy.
"Yeah," Kat said, agreeing with Lily. "Take me and Remus for example, in our 3rd year, before we got together, I was so positive that he could never like me back, but he did. It's impossible to know someone else's feelings unless they tell you about them."
Mercy just sighed as she closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the wall, trying to will herself to stop crying. Lily and Kat figured that she probably just wanted to be alone now, so they both went into the bathroom to talk about what was wrong with their friend.
As soon as Kat closed the door they both sighed at the same time.
"I hate so much to see her like that. It's hard to see someone as sweet as her with so much pain." Lily said, wiping away a tear of her own.
Kat just sighed again as a response.
"Do you really think Sirius likes her?" Lily asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah, I really do. He always acts differently around her, not so wild as he does when she's not around, because he knows that she might not like it. Haven't you noticed?"
"Yeah I've noticed. You know, we should ask James and Remus, maybe Sirius told them something." Lily suggested.
"Hey, that's a good idea."
Lily nodded, and they opened the door and walked out of the room. They found Mercy much more composed then she had been a few minutes ago.
"You ok?" Kat asked gently as she sat down on the windowseat again.
"Yup." Mercy said, even supplying a small smile. "Thank you."
"Sure." Lily said, and Kat just nodded.
"But please don't tell anyone, not even James or Remus, cuz they'd probably tell Sirius." She said in a pleading tone.
"We won't." Said Kat as she patted her friends hand. Then she and Lily went down to the common room, thinking it best to give her some more time alone.
"Well, I guess we can't tell the guys now." Lily sighed as they walked down the stairs.
"Yeah, I guess not. But I have a feeling that everything will turn out ok, anyway. I mean if Sirius really loves her then he won't be able to hide it forever." Kat said as they each plopped into arm chairs, both still extremely worried about their friend.

At the very same time Peter, Remus, Sirius and James were all upstairs in their dormitory. Peter was sitting on his bed copying Remus's DADA homework, Remus was writing a letter to his parents, and James, bored, was throwing waded up bits of papter at Sirius, who was sitting on his bed with a far away look in his eyes. He didn't even notice that James was throwing anything at him. Whenever James was bored, he usually tried to make Sirius mad because it was so entertaining, and it was usually very easy to do. But tonight Sirius was completely ignoring him and his little wads of paper.
"What's wrong with you, Padfoot?" James asked him angrily after he ran out of paper.
"Huh?" Sirius asked confusedly.
"Hello? Anyone in there?" James walked up to Sirius and started waving his hands in front of his face. Sirius still stared at him vacantly with a slighty confused look on his face.
"I've been throwing paper at you for the last half hour!!" James yelled angrily, pointing at the floor, which was scattered with balled up bits of paper. Remus and Peter stopped what they were doing to watch.
"Oh," Sirius murmered, glancing at the spotted floor and turning bright red. "Guess I was thinking about something else."
James threw back his head and burst out laughing. "Oohh, I get it now!" He said loudly. He then started winking very obviously at Remus and Peter.
"Quite it." Sirius said angrily.
Remus, already understanding what was going on, gave Sirius a pitying look, but Peter just looked totally baffled.
"What?" He asked confusedly. "What's going on?"
Sirius turned even more red than he had been before. "It's not that big a deal, guys, you all know I like her." He muttered under his breath as he picked up his charms book and tried to hide his burning face behind it.
"Oooooo....I get it now...." Peter said, proud of himself for figuring it out without anyone telling him exactly what is was, even though what Sirius said had helped a lot.
"You know, you really should just tell her, Padfo..." James started, but Sirius cut him short by throwing his charms book on the floor, hard.
"I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!" He yelled as he stood up and stomped into the bathroom, slamming the door loudly behind him.
The other guys all sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Oops...." James said after a while. "Didn't mean to make him mad, or anything like that."
"He must be really in love with her." Peter said uncertainly, looking from James to Remus to see if he was right nor not.
"Yeah....." Remus sighed, still staring at the closed door which Sirius had just gone through.
Peter was now too pleased with himself for being right to care too much about Sirius anymore.
"Do you think she likes him back?" James asked Remus after a while.
"I dunno...it's so hard to tell with girls. You know we could ask Lily or Kat about it."
The bathroom door opened at this and Sirius stuck his head out. "No you will not." He said with an almost threatening tone. Apparently he had been listening to everything that they had said.
"Oh, ok, guess we won't then." Remus agreed.
"Thanks." Sirius said as he went back inside and closed the door again, but much more softly this time.
