Chapter 4 a Love song, a Dance, a Broken heart, and Friendships Grows Stronger
By Allie-2003
As Remus twirled Cate around the dance floor, they talked about when they were little.
"Basically my childhood revolting. My parents ignored me, as did my brother. My aunt Sandy treated me the same. Father doesn't have any siblings. For the past five years I have tried to prove that being in Sytherin wasn't important for the members of the Wilding family. I was wrong, it did matter. I have been shunned from the family. My paternal grandmother is the only other member of my family that wasn't in that house, but she also doesn't like me. Ok enough about me how abouts you?"
"I had a great childhood. My parents loved me to pieces. But after I was bitten, when I was six, they changed. They still loved me I knew that, but they were distant still are. I love them though. Can we make a deal Caty? Can what we say about our childhood be between us? You are the only one who knows about my parents." He told her.
"Of course we can Remus you know that you can tell me any…" she stopped as Sirius tapped Remus on the shoulder.
"I know that this is 18th century Muggle ball chivalry stuff, but may I cut in Moony? Please?" Remus nodded and spun Cate into his friends arms. Cate laughed nervously as Sirius dipped her and whispered,
"You know Cate, I still like you." He pulled her up. "I didn't want to but I couldn't help it… you're addictive." He said as they spun around the room. The current Beth lyrics to a Muggle love song, this was the song. song ended and a new one started. One Sirius didn't know. Cate however did. She looked at Lily who smiled and nodded at her friend while in James's arms. Lily the other day had showed Cate and Beth.
When visions around you bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you are secrets and lies
I'll be you strength, I'll be your hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone.
The one you should call was standing here all along.
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong,
Til the day my life is through this I promise you
This I promise you,
Sirius smiled at Cate. She smiled and giggled as he dipped her once more. Then he whirled around the dance floor.
"Caty? Will you go out with me?" he asked her.
"It's about time you asked me. Yes I will, on one condition…"
"What's that?"
"Never lie to me."
"Alright I promise." Sirius said as she placed her head on his shoulder. He held her close and swept around the dance floor.
I've loved you forever in lifetimes before,
And I promise you never will you hurt anymore.
I give you my word I give you my heart,
This is a battle we've won.
And with this vow, forever has now begun.
"Sirius? I'm sorry I slapped you in September, it was wrong. Hey it must be a cold day in hell."
"Wha- why do you say that."
"Well I told Remus that it would be a cold day in hell when Sirius Black ask me out. So it's a cold day in hell." She said as he laughed.
"Caty?"
"What?"
"Shut up." He said before kissing her.
Just close your eyes each loving day
And know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you.
With out you in my life Baby
I just wouldn't be living at all.
Meanwhile Lily and James were dancing near Sirius and Cate.
"Will you look at that, James. I think that they have solved all their differences."
"Well not all. Lily I have to tell you something." He then told her everything about the payback.
"HE DIDN'T! ! I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" Lily screamed. James pulled her into the Entrance Hall. Then told her the rest.
Over and over I fall when I hear you call
Without you in my life baby I just wouldn't be living at all,
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong,
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you.
Beth and Remus were sitting at the table with Peter who was falling asleep. Then Beth saw Sirius kiss Cate.
"Well I'll be damned. Look over there Remus. I don't believe I would see them like that." She saw the look in Remus's eyes.
"What?"
"Oh nothing. You'll find out soon enough. Come on Bethie lets dance." He said as he pulled her on the dance floor.
Just close your eyes each now and day
And know this feeling won't go away, No.
Every word I say is true, this I promise you
This I promise you.
Every word I say is true, this I promise you
This I promise you.
I promise you.
After the song ended Sirius took Cate by the hand and led her to the path outside that the teachers had put there for students to have a little privacy. They sat down on the bench and sat there for a long time just holding hands. He was the first to speak.
"Caty? I promised you I would never lie to you. Sooo here it goes. Remember when I told you that I did something crazy? Well, it involved you, Remus, and a letter."
"What are you trying to say, Siri?" He looked miserable.
"That the letter, the date to this ball, everything is…was a hoax."
"Wha…the date…Remus…Did he know? Was he in the planning of this scam?" she looked on the verge of tears.
N-no he wasn't… Caty … Cate … Caitlin … I was foolish I didn't know what I was thinking, Baby, I know it was wrong."
"WRONG? You're damn right it was wrong!" She got up and pulled her hand away from his. "I told you something the first day of school… remember what that was? I told you that if you EVER place a wrong foot in my path… you would get a detention. Well, Buster you crossed it big time. But your punishment is worse the rest of the 'Maurders'. I never want to talk to you again, Sirius Black!" With that she spun around, picked up her skirts,- and ran back to the common room. Crying all the way. I knew that this was too good to be true. Nothing good ever happens to Caitlin Wilding. NOTHING! She thought running past Lily and James.
"Oh shit, Lily he told her. You better go to her. She needs her friend. Go on, I'm going to check on Sirius after I get the others. I'll also tell Beth what happened and send her up. Ok? "James said giving her hand a squeeze. Lily jumped up and ran after her friend.
~*~*~*~
"I screwed up big time, Prongs." Sirius said when James walked toward him. The others were coming in a moment. Beth, after she was told left Remus on the dance floor to go to her friend.
"I know buddy, I know. She looked really upset."
"Well, for that one song I had a girlfriend. I had promised her I would never lie to her and look where that puts me. Girlfriendless, with detention for a month, and without the one woman who was like me. She also told me that Wormtail, Moony and you now have detention for a month." Sirius gave a deep sigh.
"You knew you had to tell her though… what do you mean we all have detention?" James looked surprised.
"You were part of the whole thing, Peter too, but Remus didn't do anything wrong except be the one person Caitlin liked. Oh she was pissed. She never wants to see me again let alone talk to me. So we all got detention. I guess we have to talk to McGonagall about this too. You know 'I know what I did was wrong. I'll never do it again' shit." He laughed without humor.
"Hey! She deserved the truth no matter how bad it was. Moony! Wormtail! Over here! Now that we are all here, Padfoot tell us what happened." James said when the others arrived. Sirius proceeded to tell them everything that had happened on that bench.

Lily POV
~*~*~*~
I found Catie on a couch in the common room. She was rocking back and forth crying her poor little heart out.
"Catie? What happened, Hon?" I asked going over to her and sitting next to her.
"H-h-he told me that my date with Remus was a hoax. Remus never liked me. And then he went on and told me how wrong it was. I blew up on him. I guess it's the Scot in me. I knew it was to good to be true! I knew it. I never should have asked him to never lie to me." She said tears falling down her face.
"I know that Catie. James told me everything. I think that they were idiots about the way to handle it... You asked him never to lie to you?" I said surprised.
"Yeah I did, stupid me. I know I'm smart but not where men are concerned. I'm a fool to think that that relationship would of worked out. And the Maurders… don't let get me started with them. They have gotten them selves into trouble more times then I think I should have allowed. I'm giving them detention for a month. All of them. Even Remus, I know he didn't do anything but he needs a detention." She said laughing somberly.
"You know Catie that is just what they need." Then I whispered. "For me give James two more hours on the first day." then she did really laugh sounding like her own self.
"CATIE! Oh my Merlin what happened." Bethie ran in breathing hard. Catie told her everything breaking down again.
Just after she finished James, Remus, Peter, and Sirius last came in Catie took one look at him and went up to our dorm, tears running down her face.
"How is she Bethie?" Remus asked concerned. Sirius looked brokenhearted. His eyes were bloodshot, face drawn. Basically he looked like hell.
"How the hell do you think she is? Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter, you just ruined the best night of that girls life. Your lucky she doesn't try to get you guys expelled. Personally I think that I would be trying but…" I said.
"Go to hell Evans! What do you care? I fell in love with Catie and then broke not only her heart but mine too."
"Why does she care Sirius? She cares because she is my best friend, my sister. They both are." Catie, face streaked hair down around her face was in the stairway.

Normal POV
~*~*~*~
"Caty? I promise you that I love you." Sirius went up to the stairs where she was. " that song…" he couldn't think of the name. So Cate said "This I Promise You." Her mouth lifted slightly, thinking of that first day on the train. When they met. He smiled "that song is our song. I know you hate me now but someday Caty you will love me more then tomorrow." With that he left the stairway and went up to the guys dorms.
"Lily? I want to apologize for everything, I know what we did was inexcusable but we are sorry." James said as Remus was saying goodnight to Beth. Peter had gone to bed.
"James, the person you should apologize to is Catie. Not me." She answered back.
"Lils, its alright they don't need to they can just serve detention. Oh and, James, you have to go early and serve two extra hours. That's because you lied to me about giving Remus my note and for the prank date." Cate turned around and went upstairs.
"Goodnight Lily, I'll see you in my dreams." James went to his dorm. Lily how ever stared at James's back.oh he is sooo sweet. Goodnight my James. then she went up to bed.
