Chapter 3 - The Holidays
Kayla sat on her bed and begun reading through the books that she had just purchased for her fifth year at Hogwarts when the fireplace in her room exploded into flames. Kayla looked at the fire questionably and waited for her visitor to exit.
When a boy of sixteen with midnight black hair and dark brown eyes stepped out of the fireplace, Kayla squealed with delight. "Sirius!" she yelled as she tackled him down to the ground in a hug. Just then, another person came out of the fire.
Kayla looked over her shoulder to see who emerged from the fireplace, and looked into the amused face of Lily Evans. She then realized why. She was wrapped around Sirius black on the floor of her bedroom, and clinging onto him as if she'd die if she let go. And the worst thing of all was that Lily knew about her crush on Sirius.
Kayla tried to get up to go to Lily but Sirius kept a tight grip on her, and wouldn't let her go.
"Sirius." Kayla hissed loudly. "Let go of me before I'm tempted to knee you in a very sensitive place of yours." Kayla heard the fireplace emit someone again, but didn't look over this time.
Sirius grinned and told her, "No, I don't think that I will, and you can't even reach that place, seeing as your legs are sort of trapped." It was then that Kayla realized how stupid she was for wrapping her legs around his waist when she jumped on him.
Sirius' hand which originally rested on her hips, moved lower in a soft caress to cup Kayla's butt.
When Sirius lightly squeezed Kayla's butt, she had to fight the shiver that she always got when he touched her in any intimate way. Instead of shivering, she glared at him. How she wished though that just once she could give into those caresses, just once know what he could give her, just once know what it was like to kiss someone who you desire in return, to be caressed by someone you desire.
Kayla sighed to herself, took her elbow, and dug it into the soft spot that she knew he had where his arm connected to his body. Sirius gave a yelp of pain and let her go.
Kayla rolled off of Sirius with out breaking her legs and went over to Lily, not realizing that James, Remus and Aria were also there. As Kayla had known that she would, Lily opened her arms and embraced her best friend. Kayla put her arms around Lily too, laid her head on Lily's shoulder and just inhaled the scent of the ocean that seemed to follow her around, and clung to her skin.
It had been exactly three weeks since the two girls had seen each other, and that is the longest that they have ever been apart in their whole lives. Kayla and Lily had never gotten into a fight. Sure, they argued, but they never fought, and never screamed at each other when they argued. Everyone told them that they had the kind of relationship that every group of friends wanted. That closeness knowing that they could always find a way to solve their problems, that they knew that they'd always be friends, and would let nothing come in between that.
Kayla drew back from Lily to look into her eyes and smiled. "Missed you, Hunter." Kayla told her, happy to be able to see her best friend again.
Lily smiled. "I missed you too, Pouncy." She replied, using a nickname that Kayla would let no one else use. Pouncy is one name that only Lily could ever call her. Just like no one could call Lily 'Huntress' except Kayla, but she hardly ever called her that.
"Hey, what about us?" cried a pouting James.
Kayla looked over towards the voice and yelled, "James! Remus! Aria!" into Lily's ear, making her wince from the volume. Kayla ran over to where they were standing with amused smiles on their faces.
She first embraced a young wizard with short sandy blonde hair that fell into his eyes which were a blueish-gray color by the name of Remus Lupin. She then looked at James with his black messy hair that still looked as if it had never seen the presence of a brush, and his sapphire blue eyes and smiled as she enveloped him in a hug.
James smiled and picked her up off her feet, like always, and spun her around in a circle before he set her back on her own feet.
Kayla kissed him on the cheek in a sisterly fashion then hugged Kayla, then looked at her appearance. She had changed the length of her straight brown hair. It used to reach her lower back, and now it barely brushed her shoulders. Kayla looked into Aria's baby blue eyes and smiled. "It looks better this way." Kayla informed her friend as she fingered the thick locks.
Aria smiled her brilliant smile and in a sweet and soft voice responded, "I know. I got tired of all the maintenance it took to keep long hair healthy, so I got most of it cut off." Kayla nodded her head and informed her that it looked better this way.
"Why are all of you guys here?" Kayla asked as everybody sat down.
James was the one who answered. "Well, we already know that you have all of your supplies for school, but we don't, and we were wondering if you wanted to accompany us to Diagon Alley to pick up our supplies."
"Of course I do!" Kayla informed them with a roll of her eyes, as if saying 'Duh!'
"Right then," Lily chirped. "Why don't I go downstairs and tell whoever I can find that we are kidnapping you for the day?"
Kayla nodded her head. "My Mother is in the Morning room." She told Lily as she got up and headed out the door.
Lily nodded her head and left.
Ten minutes later, Lily came back smiling and informed them that she was allowed to go.
The boys went through the fire first then Aria went, but not before being stopped by Lily telling her to inform the rest that Kayla and she would be there in a few minutes.
"What was that about?" Lily asked.
Kayla decided to act coy and not know what she was talking about. "What?" she asked innocently.
Lily glared at her friend and grounded out, "You and Sirius. What the hell was that about?"
Kayla drew in a deep breath and let it go before she explained. "I would have done it to anyone who showed up Lily. I was so tired of being stuck here with people I loath, that I would have done that if Lucius Malfoy was to show up. I didn't think, I just wanted human contact."
Lily looked at her friend, assessing if she was being told the truth or not. When she read what was in Kayla's eyes she softened and nodded her head. "You go first." She instructed Kayla to do and waved her hand towards the fireplace.
Kayla nodded her head and stepped into the fire and shouted out, "Diagon Alley," and was soon followed by Lily.
A/N: Sorry about the long delay in getting this out, but I've been trying to finish my first story, and I've been finding the story a little temperamental. I'm hoping to be done with the next chapter of this story by sometime next week.
