[color=red]A/N: sorry, y'all. I wish I could blame a huge chunk of writer's
block slowing me down, but it's not. Personal things like filing for a
divorce (or at least trying to, damn red tape), getting kids into school,
waiting for pre-school to start, M-PACT getting under way (more red tape),
oh, and worrying about my only vehicle getting repo-ed that's keeping me
from writing and update. I will make no promises.
Tho I must admit, my son is impressed I am writing a Harry Potter story. ;) [/color]
Chapter Eight
We laid there lazily enjoying each other's company. It was after dinnertime and we knew our time together was ending soon. We sat up and started to dress. "accio shirt," I said and his shirt zoomed though the opened curtain. After he put it on and buttoned it fully he summoned my panties. Piece by piece we got dressed, enjoying the game. Finally all that was left were our shoes. Those came when we called and we made up the bed together for next time.
"Let's go," he said, heading towards the door. "Tuesday, then, after we finish the potion?" Feeling frisky still, I asked, "What's wrong with during the game tomorrow?" He grinned and we left the room. I locked it and repelled it so no one would bother it. We kissed one last time, there in the dark dungeon tunnel, and headed to our own Common Rooms.

The clock in the Common Room chimed midnight as I gave the Fat Lady the password. I snuck in and sat on the couch in front of the dying fire. I sensed someone in the dark corner of the room and told him to came forward; I hated being spied on. Sirius chuckled and moved to the other end of the couch and looked at me. "Well," he smiled, "you have this nice, healthy glow about you this evening. Where were you at dinner?"
I closed my eyes and leaned my head back, smiling. Zada jumped on the couch between us and started to knead the cushion to her liking. "Go away, Sirius, before for I lose this good mood of mine," I smiled bigger, "and I [i]really[/i] like this good mood." I started a low purr that harmonized perfectly with Zada's. Sirius chuckled again and stood up shaking his head. He walked right in front of me and stopped. He leaned forward until our faces were inches apart and I opened my eyes. His smile was mischievous when he said, "You left your tie." He walked away and up to his Dorm.
I sat up and felt for my neckwear. It was gone. [i]Good thing I charmed the door. I'll just have to get another out of my trunk tonight.[/i] I stood and stretched lazily. "C'mon, Zada. Let's go to bed."

Excitement filled the air at breakfast the next morning. The first game of the year!! Even the Houses not playing were pumped up for it. Everyone loves Quidditch. It boiled down to the Slytherins against the rest of the school. Only the Slytherins wanted that House to win. The other three cheered on the House playing the Snakes. Today it was Ravenclaw.
I was still on cloud nine from last evening. Even James' surly attitude didn't get to me. Even when he mentioned that the four of them took turns waiting up on me, I was still excited. I was trying to figure out how to get hold of a green and silver Slytherin scarf and blend into their crowd for the game that afternoon.
The teams warmed up and did a few last minute practices between breakfast and lunch. Some students braved the chilly mist to watch and chat with each other. I went to the library, hoping for some quiet to write in my journal. It's easier to write at a table and I wanted to be left alone, but not be alone.
For a game Saturday, it was crowded. Three Hufflepuffs sat at one table studying Potions while a small group of Ravenclaw girls giggled over the newest fashion magazine. There was a fellow Gryffindor, Lily, curled in an armchair, reading a book. I let them all be and sat at a table all to myself. I pulled my journal out and opened it randomly. It fell open to September first, when I wrote all about getting onto the train. I smiled at the memory and flipped to the next empty page.
November second, I started to write. The table shook slightly as someone sat down across from me. I covered the half dry ink with my arm as I looked up. "Damn," I cursed as I smiled, "I just got ink all over my sleeve 'cause of you." Severus chuckled, "It'll be OK, ya know. They are both black."
"Yeah, well, that's besides the point," I grumbled, moving my arm off the book. My writing was smeared but still legible. I looked up. "What's the plan for today? Do we go watch the game together? Do we," I smiled really big, "go back to bed for a few hours this afternoon? What?"
"Well," he drawled, "I was thinking of sitting here and staring at you for awhile." I rolled my eyes and sighed. "And what fun do I get from that?"
"Absolutely none. That's the whole point. I get to watch you squirm and maybe even blush." He chuckled under his breath that caused me to actually do as he said and squirm and blush. "Go away if that's all you want. I would like to finish writing to myself, if you don't mind." I dipped my quill again and continued to catch my journal up on the last seventy-two hours. In mid-word he grabbed my book from under the quill, causing a rather long mark to appear on the page.
"Let's see what's in here . " Severus said, as he flipped to the first page. "February 28," he whispered out loud, "I had my party today. All of the extended family showed up, right down to cousin Shawn. Oh, God, is he terrible!! Foul, loud, stinky, crude." He looked up at me. "Geesh, that's a bit rough on the poor chap, don'tcha think? Makes me wonder what else is in here ." He started to flip through to a more recent entry.
I slammed the book closed on his fingers. The sound was loud enough in the quiet library to make Lily jump and the Hufflepuffs stare. "It is," I spat out through clenched teeth, "none of your damn business what I write to myself." I slid the book out from his grasp and packed it back into my bag. I pulled out my Muggle Studies homework. "I would like to finish yesterday homework before the game starts." I raised my eyebrow at him in an unspoken question. "Care to help?"
He shrugged, "sure, why not? [i]Why[/i] are you studying Muggles? Didn't you [i]live[/i] with them?"
I sighed. "Yes, I did and will during breaks. But I can now get a wizard's point of view on them. It's actually rather interesting. Take this, for example . "
