Disclaimer: You already know..... Oh yes, I disclaim the title of this
story, also the chapter titles. They belong to the song by sting with the
same name. You should listen to it!!!!!!!!
a/n: WOOOO! Seven reviews! SOOOOO HAPPY! ^_________________^ And to bubblez_fairy, sorry I didn't explain that better.... she was actually supposed to wake up and relive that part. She's relived the first twelve years of her life. So, now we pick up with the year where she is twelve and the "dream team" is in their third year. You get the point... yeah... on with the story...
Chapter Two
A few minutes later, Ginny was settled down, but was still off in the clouds. Lupin hands her a piece of chocolate. She shakes her head.
"Eat it. It'll help." He directs his attention to the other three. "I need to speak to the driver, excuse me..." He strolled past Harry and into the corridor.
All three look at Ginny, who is eyeing the piece of chocolate intently. She shakes her head again and mumbles, "Never helps, nothing does... just makes it worse..." She then looks up at the other three. "What?"
Harry voices what the other two were thinking. "What's going on with you today, Gin?"
She winced. She didn't like to be called that. Well, she didn't mind really, it was just, that's what Sirius used to call her. He knew it got on her nerves. No one else did. Just Sirius. And now Harry. She sighed.
"Forgive me. I haven't been feeling well lately."
Ron shakes his head. "That's a lie. You've been fine all week. And do you know this Lupin guy? How?"
Ginny looks perplexed. "What is this? A Police line-up? How would you know what I feel like, Ronald? You never ask. I have seen "Lupin" on a couple of occasions. He is very nice. Ok?"
Ron is beginning to get mad. "I'm just concerned, Ginny." She rolls her eyes.
Harry agrees. "Yeah, Gin, we don't want anything bothering you."
'If they only knew..' she thought. "Harry, would you please not call me that? It bothers me."
He looks confused. "Alright. Sorry." Ginny looks out the window. Harry gives Ron the 'huh?' look. Ron shrugs. Ginny, head still in the clouds, is taken back in time, to the Hogwarts common room.
***********how ever many years ago****************
A week or so after she'd arrived, Ginny was sitting there in the common room, quill in her mouth, trying to figure out a hard Arithmancy problem. She is alone, or so she thinks.
"Having trouble there, Gin?" He sits down beside her.
"Shut up, Sirius. I bet you couldn't do this. And don't call me Gin."
He puts on his devilish grin. "Why not, does it bother you, Gin?"
She glares at him. She knew this was his twisted way of flirting, and she was already annoyed at the moment by her homework. "Yes, Sirius. It sounds like a drink. 'Gin' is a drink. Of course that's annoying." He slides the book from her hands, and looks at it.
"You're having trouble with this? But, Gin, it's so easy."
"Well, you explain it then." He goes of on a long detailed explanation.
'Wow, I didn't think he was that smart...' She uses the time to get a really good look at him. He thinks she's just listening to him ramble on. He runs his hand through his dark black (a/n: of course ^__^) hair, that just falls into his eyes again. His eyes are an icy blue color. He is tall and rather strong looking. 'He looks nice....' She found herself thinking. 'No! I didn't just think that.... he's a murderer for pete's sake! But he doesn't look at all like he did on the newspapers....' Deep in her thoughts, she doesn't realize when Sirius is done talking. He meets her gaze.
"What?"
Ginny snaps back to reality. "Hmmm? Oh, nothing."
"Do you get it now?" He hands her the book back.
She scratches her head. "Uhhhhh.... Yeah. Sure." She smiles at him nervously.
He sees this and smiles disarmingly. "You don't have to be scared of me Gin. Do I look like Snape?"
'You sure don't....' she thinks to herself. "No, Sirius, you don't look like Snape, thank goodness. Now, if you will excuse me." She gets up and leaves. When she's halfway up her dorm room stairs, she turns to look at him again, only to find him looking at her. She blushes and runs up to her room, knowing now that she had a crush on a future homicidal maniac. She throws herself on her bed.
"Just look where my stupid crushes have gotten me..."
***************back on the Express***********************
Ginny smiles in spite of her sadness. She knew the rest of the story. 'Too bad it ends as a tragedy... Poor Sirius...' The train stops. Ginny grabs her bags and rushes out. Someone grabs her arm as she's getting off the train. She tenses.
"Mind riding with me in a carriage?"
"Of course not Remus." She smiles and gets in with him.
