Chapter 5: awake on the rooftop

TAP TAP TAP.

"Uh, go away" I muttered to what I thought was an owl tapping on my window. I lay in bed trying to get back to sleep jamming my eyes tightly shut.

TAP TAP TAP, again, but it was a bit louder.

"Please!" I mumbled. "Go away and bring the letter in the morning"

And then BAM! The owl either threw itself into the window or it wasn't an owl. I jolted awake now sitting up in my bed, and immediately turned my head to the window. But it wasn't an owl at my window. It was Jackie standing on the patio roof. She was wearing a large T-shirt. She was also wearing shorts and her feet were bare. She smiled and knocked in the window lightly again, tap, tap.

I hurried to open the window and she crawled into my room catlike, being careful not to make any loud noises. Jackie sometimes came to my house at night like this to see me and Sirius, it was her specialty of sneaking out and into houses.

"Sorry," I laughed quietly. "Thought it was an owl at the window."

"It's alright," She whispered quietly. She glanced over to Sirius who was still sound asleep. She sighed hopelessly. He was sleeping with his backside up in the air and drooling all over his pillow. I sniggered at him trying not to wake my mum or dad.

"Siri, wake up" Jackie murmured as she shook his arm softly. Sirius slowly put his butt down and rolled over. She sighed again and rolled her eyes. "Wake up" she repeated.

"No," Sirius muttered. Jackie turned around to my bedside table and glanced at the glass of water. She silently walked over to the bedside table and dipped her fingers in the water and then walked over to Sirius. She flicked the cold water from her fingertips onto Sirius' face. He twitched and slowly reacting from the cold water on his face and opened an eye.

"Eh" He grunted shutting his eye and wiping the water from his face and then he muttered something that he said to quietly and slurred.

"Eh what?" Jackie teased. "Come on, get out of bed" she started to shake his arm harder then before, and then she pinched his arm, it must of hurt because Sirius flinched and eyes jolted open.

"Ow," Sirius squealed rubbing his arm. "That hurt!"

"Shush" Jackie simply said.

I grabbed a white blanket off my bed and climbed out the window. I stood on the patio roof enjoying the view for a few seconds. The moon looked almost full, it was full about a day or two ago, but it was still beautiful. I sighed and spread out the blanket on the roof and carefully sat down on it. Jackie next climbed out of my room and onto the roof.

She was careful not to step on a nail on the roof and sat down on the white blanket next to me. And then Sirius crawled out of my room and onto the roof and at next to Jackie.

"Nice boxers Siri" Jackie laughed. Sirius boxers were a hot pink with white and red X's, O's and hearts. Sirius nodded and lied down on the blanket.

"Where's my star?" mumbled Sirius still drowsy staring up at the starry sky.

"I dunno" I said in between a yawn. "Don't you ever pay attention in Astronomy class?"

"If he couldn't get up now, he couldn't get up at twelve on a school night" Jackie sniggered.

"He doesn't even pay attention in Potions or any other of the classes let alone Astronomy." I informed Jackie.

"I wish we could stay friends at Hogwarts" Jackie said, this was a bit random, since we were talking about classes. Sirius sat up and put his arm around Jackie's shoulder.

"Doll face, I wish we could too, but we have, um...er..." Sirius was looking for the words, but it seemed as if there was no words to describe was he was trying to say floating about in his tiny mind.

"Differences" I said. Jackie wrinkled her nose.

"Differences? That's pathetic you two" She said rolling her eyes. There was a hit of a smile on her face.

"But your not exactly Hufflepuff material" I added so it didn't make me seem like I was offending Jackie.

"No shit" she half laughed, her smile brightening.

"I wish I had a chocolate covered sausage with jimmies" Sirius yawned. Jackie stared at Sirius like I never seen her stare at him before. It was a stare full of happiness, sadness, and a bit of love.

"Oh! I'm gonna miss you Sirius!" She burst out and hugged him. Sirius opened his mouth in surprise as if he was going to say 'Woah', but instead he said nothing and patted her on the back. "I'm gonna miss you so much" She repeated still hugging him.

"And you won't miss me?!" I laughed, turned around and hugged me too.

When we broke the embrace I saw silent tears streaming down her face...but why?

"OK, that is the reason why your in Hufflepuff" I chuckled pointing to the tears rolling down her cheeks. Sirius and Jackie also laughed, but the laughing stopped very soon.

"No, you don't get it" She said wiping her eyes. "I have absolutely no friends at school" Sirius put his arm around Jackie's shoulder again.

"Explain Doll face" Sirius said.

"Girls hate me because they think I'm too tomboyish, boys pity me because they think I'm a wannabe" she explained. "I only have you guys, and the guys in the neighborhood do the same thing you do, pretend I'm not your friend" She had stopped crying, but looked like she was going to burst in tears again.

"Aw, doll face!" Sirius said sympathetically bringing Jackie closer to him and then she put her head on his shoulder. It looked like something a big brother would do. I knew something was going on between them. "Well, if you ever feel lonely, just owl us, use a school owl since you don't have one" Jackie sighed and nodded with her head still on Sirius shoulder. "And if you really feel lonely you can drop by the Gryffindor table." Sirius added.

What the hell was Sirius thinking, a Hufflepuff at the Gryffindor table? Eating? Eating at the Gryffindor table...is Sirius mad? He'll be going off to the dork side with...Lily Evans! EW!

"Your eyes," Jackie said calmly. "There blue, I never noticed them" Sirius grinned at Jackie and said nothing at all.
