Disclaimer: The plot and some of the characters belong to me, but for the most part it doesn't. It belongs to J.K. If it did belong to me I would be writing five and spending my money but because I am a sixteen year old with no money and no published books I write these things and make up my own little plots to go into J.K's world. Just to clarify, J.K owns all of the good stuff and don't sue me, it isn't worth the money to call a lawyer.

Author's Note: Ok here is 13 as promised. Sirius fans will love this one! I am very superstitious so I probably won't let 13 stand that long and 14 should be out fairly soon. This chapter is dedicated to Krista. Thank you Krista for all of your help and everything, you don't know how much I appreciate it. This one will be short as I said but I really want it to be sweet. I hope it works out that way. A special thanks to Runaway Gobstopper. Thanks for pointing out the format. I forgot to double space it and as soon as I saw your review I fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out. On a side note does anyone know how to make the font italic when I upload it onto www.fanfiction.net? When ever I do that it comes out as normal font and I want to make the lyrics different fonts in my song fics. Thanks everyone and without further bothering you here is chapter 13. Enjoy!

"Snuffles"

Sirius gently hummed as he finally reached Arabella's dorm. The very top one of course, well it was worth it he though. For Arabella it was worth it. Sirius went to open the door but it wasn't as easy as he had first thought. He tried to turn it but his arms were cradling Arabella, if he moved them Arabella might wake up. He slowly lifted her head higher and placed her over his shoulder as he turned the door handle.

It was late and the room was pitch black except for a small light that shone from the furthest bed, the curtains were drawn but the light shimmered through the curtains, Arabella's bed was next to that and Sky's was nest. Sirius could hear the small snores coming from the nearest bed and the little hum that Sky made when she fell asleep. It almost lulled him to sleep a few times in Muggle Studies as a matter of fact. Going over to Arabella's bed he drew the curtain back and placed her under the velvety red blanket. Arabella stretched, her eyes opening slightly and she caught sight of him. Sirius knew she was in the twilight of awareness, it that spot between being awake and asleep. She might talk to him but she wouldn't remember it. It was the most truthful time too. He had told her he liked her when he was in this twilight and that had started their relationship as a matter of fact.

"Hi Sirius." Arabella said half-awake, she looked so cute he thought. Placing her heels under her bed and taking a loose clip out of her hair, placing it on the bed side table. He smiled down at her.

"Hi Arabella." He answered, running one of his hands down her smooth cheek.

"I love you Sirius. I'm so happy we're getting married. I love you." Arabella said pulling the blanket up higher, closing her eyes as she started to drift off again. "I love you too Arabella. Now get some sleep ok honey? For me." He pushed her hair back off of her face.

"Ok Sirius." She said, closing her eyes completely and drifting off into a slumber. A slumber about wedding. She could see her bridesmaids, Krista, Erin, Samantha, Joanie, Sky, and even Lily dressed in beautiful gowns. Eleana, her blue-eyed, blond haired little cousin was flower girl and Sirius was there, waiting for her.

A smile appeared on her peaceful face as she dreamt. Meanwhile Sirius was crouched next to the bed just looking at her, he was going to spend the rest of her life with this woman and he was afraid at all. It was amazing how a heart could change a mind he though. While still caressing her face he couldn't help but see the flickering light to the right and hear a small snuffle. The smallness of it made it seem even sadder. After kissing Arabella on the forehead and closing the curtains around her he rose and crept over to the other bed. He had a pretty good idea who it was.

"Hey Lily, you ok in there?" He whispered, trying not to awaken any of the other girls. The only answer was a small sob. "Lily, tell Sirius what is wrong. I'm coming in ok?" He heard another quiet sob but it sounded like a yes through tears so he slowly opened the curtains and came face to face with Lily, she was crying. Her legs were up to her chest and she had a small bear wrapped in her arms. She looked up at Sirius and tried to wipe her eyes but the redness wouldn't go away. "Hey, who is this?" Sirius asked pointing to the small little bear.

"That's Snuffles." She said, her voice was weak and her eyes were tearing up a bit. "Congratulations Sirius. You are Arabella are really happy together." She forced a small smile on her saddened face.

"Thanks. Now tell Snuffles what is wrong." Sirius said, picking up the bear and making it dance around. She smiled again.

"Sirius I don't know what to do." She said, choking back some of the words. "I.I think I love James but what about Remus. I can't do that to him Sirius. Just a few days ago nobody knew my name and Remus, well he helped me come out of my shell and. and do I tell him I have feelings for his friend?" She looked small and helpless for a moment. He handed her a handkerchief.

"You tell Remus what your heart tells you. He is down in the common room with James, go now and tell him. I might need a canoe in here if you continue to leak Lily." She smiled at him and she felt better, Sirius was like Snuffles but he answered her. He listened and helped her.

"Are you sure?" She questioned. Sirius picked up Snuffles again and moved him so it appeared as if he was talking.

"Would Snuffles lie?" He brought Snuffles away from his face. "You have to be true to your heart, to yourself. If you aren't you live a lie. Go and tell him." She looked nervous. "I'll be a bit up the stairs ok? If you want me to come down cough and I'll come down. Promise." She nodded, wiping her eyes and taking a deep breath. Sirius picked up his wand and with a wave she returned to her normal color, her eyes white again with sparking green at their center and her cheeks were no longer red from her sobs.

"Thank you Sirius, you have no idea how much you have helped me." She was sincere, getting up she hugged him as a friend. "Thank you."

"No need to thank me, I'm just," he lifted the bear, "Snuffles." She nodded.

"Thanks Snuffles." She threw a green robe around her as she walked out of the common room. That girl sure had guts Sirius thought as he checked on Arabella and went to sit on the stairs and wait for a cough.
