"Wrongly Accused"
Chapter 8!

"Buckbeak, quit being annoying." a very unclean Sirius sat alone with his foul friend, Buckbeak, the only friend he seemed to still have, atleast besides Remus.
"EEk ahk." Buckbeak chortled.

Sirius pet his feathered friend, who looked at him with concern.

"Thinking about the past makes me think of Eve..." Sirius sounded gloom.
"Caw..." Buckbeak brushed Sirius' cheek with his wing.
"Nice to know someone else cares." he grinned.

Buckbeak had the 'I won't let anything happen to you because I care about you and you're my friend' look on his face. Sirius sat silently and petted Buckbeak as he remembered again...

"Sirius." Eve stood over him. "Sirius?"
"Pinch me." he laid there on the bed dazed.
"Literally? Well, fine, if you say so." Eve pinched his cheek.
"OOOH, OW!" Sirius darted up.
"Well you said so." she poked his chest and laughed.
"Heh, so I did." he gave a weird smile.
"No! NO! NOOOOO!" Jamed tossed and turned in his four poster bed.
"*snore*" James snored...
"No wonder I don't like the other three..." she mummbled.
"What?" he laughed.
"Nothing." she just smiled.

Eve's eye twinkled. He seemed to be spaced out most of the time, but soon got some of his sense back.

"What are you doing here anyways?"
"I thought I might drop by."
"Follow me!" she pulled him out of the common room.
"Eh, what are you doing?" he scratched his head.
"Yes."
"Yes?"
"You heard what I said."
"You mean you-"
"Yes, I want to go."
"Heh, you won't regret it." he grinned.

He leaned in closer.

"Right." she smiled.

The hallway lighted up so that they were no longer silhouetted shadows.

"Excuse moi, but vhat are ve doing out of our dorm rooms so vate at night?" Ms. Neilson stood with her hands on her hips and a great stare in her eyes.
"Uh, heh." Sirius worried.
"I seemed to have lost my ring!" Eve darted at the ground, improvising.
"Vhat?" the teacher was impatient.
"I seemed to have lost it when I was coming out of the Hall." she pretended to search.
"Vell zen, I vill 'elp you and zen you vill go vack to ved." she scouted the ground.
"Ahem!" she punched his leg.
"Where is it?" Sirius pretended to search also.
"Hmm, no ving 'ere!" the teacher turned around.

When her back was turned Eve pulled off a silver ring and set it on the ground.

"Oh, here is is." Sirius picked up the ring.
"Vell zen, go vack to ved!" she pointed her finger down the hall.

Sirius slipped the ring back on her finger. A tawny owl flew across the room and plopped a letter down in Ms. Neilson's hands.

"Bah, never mind. I do vot veed to show you to vour vrooms, seeing as you are 6th zears." she walked back up the hallway she came, and the lights flickered away. They were soon shadows again.

"I do not want to get caught, so, I will say goodnight." she bowed.

Sirius put out his left foot and purposely tripped her as she turned around. He caught her before she fell.

"Well, aren't you Mr. Sly?" she laughed.
"That's me." he gave a smiley grin.

Silence... He leaned in and kissed her.
