The Famous Marauders
Chapter 18: Kathy's true feelings
That night Lily sat alone in her dorm room, Sirius and James were at Quidditch practice, Kristy, Remus, and Peter were in the common room playing Exploding Snaps, and Kathy was who knows where. Lily sat looking at her reflection, 'why am I so worried' she thought to her self. Brushing her long red hair, Lily tried to clear her mind. Tomorrow morning she would go with Kathy, Kristy, and possibly Taylor to try to relax
A few minutes later she opened her jewelry box. They're sat her most treasured idioms, first Lily found a picture of the marauders in their third year that Molly had given her. Lily started to remember
It was October 31, Halloween
"I know you like him, just emit it," The fourteen-year-old Molly begged
"I do not, nor will I ever like James Potter he's such a prat" The thirteen year old Lily Evans replied
"Yes you do"
"No I don't"
"But you have to emit he is so cute"
"Maybe a little but looks are only skin deep" Lily said giving in turning a light shade of pink
"I knew it"
"Whatever" Lily smiled at Molly while rolling her eyes
"Trick or Treat" Molly said handing Lily an envelope
"What's this" Lily shot her a puzzled glare before taking it
Lily remembered Molly running off, as she carefully opened the envelope.
Grinning widely at her was James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus. Now that she examined the picture more closely Lily was surprised to find Kristy in the background looking dreamily at Remus. A strand of Kristy's brown hair fell out of her ponytail. Under the picture, in big Lime Green letters read
THE FAMOUS MARAUDERS, FRIENDS ONTILL THE END
Lily smiled at James; his jet-black hair still messed up with a snitch twirling around in his hand. Peter smiled as he looked back in forth from the snitch to Lily, as if deciding which one was more interesting. Putting the picture aside, Lily gave out a huge sigh as she picked up the first gift James ever gave her the mirror. The mirror was one of the many things that made James so special to her.
"James" she whispered into it, the mirror must have been sitting on the stands for Lily saw him flying around the Quidditch patch playing the role of one of the chasers. He looked so cute in his Gryffindor Quidditch robes, hair rustling in the wind. Sirius was on the other side of the field hitting a bluger.
Lily found no need to watch Quidditch; she carefully placed the mirror into her pocket.
"I can't wait for Valentines Day" Lily said as she laid down on her bed letting the sun warm her skin
"VALENTINES DAY, what am I going to get James?" Lily groaned, Suddenly her eyes got heavy as she felt at ease for the first time today. She fell into a deep dreamless sleep; it felt kind of like putting all your worries on hold, at least for a little while.
Lily had been sleeping for about an hour when there was a knock at her door.
"Not now" Lily groaned as she put a pillow over her head, to cover her ears
Again some one knocked
"This better be important" Lily mumbled making her way to the door
"What?" she opened the door.
Sirius stood their sweat dripping down his forehead onto the top of his Quidditch robes. He had an unreadable expression on his face
"Can I come in" He said whipping his forehead
"Yeah sure, what's up" Lily rubbed her eye as she pulled the door open
"Where's Kathy" Sirius said taking Lily completely of guard
"I don't know I was sleeping"
"According to Remus she's here somewhere"
"Are you drunk! Why would she be here?" Lily snapped from being waken up to talk about this
"Here's how the marauders figure it"
"Even James?" Lily interrupted raising an eyebrow
"Yeah, even lover boy. Anyways Kathy is your Stupid Cupid, meaning most of the time she'll be with you"
"She's not here"
"I bet she is"
"I don't want to argue, Kathy if you're here come out so I can get some sleep"
Kathy appeared on Kristy's bed
"I wasn't serious" Lily's eyes getting wide, not wanting to believe the marauders were right. Sirius smirked when he saw Kathy sitting on the bed. Kathy was smiling nervously as she saw their expressions
"You wanted to talk" Kathy said graving Sirius's hand and pulling him out of the room before Lily could figure out what was going on. Sirius smiled sheepishly, while letting her drag him outside of Gryffindor tower.
"What did you want to talk about" Kathy asked
"Can we talk in private" Sirius said looking up and down the corridor
"There's no one around"
"Take a look behind me"
Kathy gazed at the wall be hind Sirius seeing the people inside the portrait bending their ears against the frames.
"Do you mind?" Kathy said angrily, gazing at the portraits, which jumped backwards looking in any direction besides hers.
"Do you know somewhere we can talk, ALONE" she said the last word louder so that the portraits could hear.
"Erm. the Astronomy tower is usually empty"
"Great lets go"
"You really want to"
"Yeah, sure, where is it?" Kathy smiled as she followed Sirius up another flight of stairs. They took the same seats as Lily and James had sat in.
"You know if you come here early enough, you can see the most amazing sunrises," Sirius said looking at the window
"And who have you brought up here to see it" Kathy joked, suddenly feeling like putting Sirius on the spot
"Erm. well. I. it's just what I hear"
"Right" Kathy grinned as she rolled her eyes
"So, you wanted to talk about something" She said remembering why she was here in the first place.
"I broke up with Taylor"
"Why" Kathy said in disbelief
"I wanted to be with you"
"Again why" Kathy looked at him again with milled disbelief and confusion
"Because I really like you and I know you like me to"
Kathy gasped at him thinking why didn't I see this coming
"Sirius listen to me ok"
"Ok"
"I really like you, but you don't understand that it will never work out. I'm sorry"
"Why not"
"Because I'm going to be leaving Saturday night, and we already talked about this."
"And last time we talked we had a date. Why'd you stand me up?"
"Technically, I didn't I was there, just invisible"
"Kathy I don't really feel like joking right now"
"I know, I'm sorry"
"So why did you"
"I couldn't"
"I don't understand"
"I don't want to break you heart"
"What do you think you're doing now?"
"I don't know, I never had to deal with this before"
"You always deal with the human heart"
"Sirius I'm so sorry" Kathy said collapsing tiers falling down her cheeks
"I know, calm down hunny" Sirius pulled her into a hug running his hands up and down his back. Kathy berried her head in Sirius's chest
"I love you" Kathy said in between tiers, surprising Sirius and even herself
He held her tighter bringing her into his strong arms.
"I love you, too"
A smile played across her lips as she sobbed against him. They sat that way until long after the sun had finally departed from the sky. Kathy ended up crying herself to sleep. Sirius just watched her.
"How long have we been here?" Kathy said waking up against a damp shirt
"I don't know a few hours" Sirius smiled at her.
"Come on we should be getting back," She said smiling to
"Will I see you tomorrow"
"No"
"Oh" Sirius bowed his head
"It's not by choose, I'm spending the day with the girls at the salon"
"Poor you"
"Actually I think it would be fun"
"Really" Sirius asked as they held hands walking to the now empty common room
"I'll see you on Valentines Day" Sirius said kissing her.
"Bye" Kathy said dreamily as she watched him vanish out of sight
"Oh my gosh, what am I doing" Kathy whispered to herself realizing that she was falling for Sirius Black
That night Kathy fell asleep on the couch in Lily and Kristy's room. Awakened hours later by
"Lily why the heck won't you get up" Kathy heard someone yell, she got on her feet and looked at Kristy in a fluffy white bathrobe, with a towel wrapped over her head.
"Good morning" Kathy said to Kristy
"Hey, am I the only one who really wants to get out of here" Kristy asked
"Let me try to get her up" Kathy smiled as she made her way to Lily's bed
"I don't think you can"
"Watch this"
Kathy tapped Lily's head
"James is waiting for you outside"
Lily jumped up "are you serious" Lily said rushing to the bathroom
"Nope, but we're going to be leaving soon"
"Oh" Lily said loosing her excitement
"I've tried to wake her up for like a half and hour and you can get her up in five seconds, that doesn't seem fair"
"What can I say, it's a gift" Kathy said as she started getting ready, the girls were up and ready within the hour.
"Great, we're just in time to meet Taylor" Kristy said
"Where do we meet her?" Lily asked putting on some lip gloss
"Down stairs"
