S/o/A Notes – Hey all you readers and reviewers, this is my last chapter, but not the last you'll hear from me. I'll be continuing Elle's story Hating You (so please read hehehe). Anyway I'd like to thank ALL of you who have reviewed and read it. *tears* I'll miss you *tears*. I LOVE YOU ALL.
Many reviewers said they liked the twist between Sirius, Bec, Em and Remus; but I absolutely hate it, it's just so sad, either way someone will get hurt. *tears* others say it's confusing, well I agree with that. Well I really hope you like this chapter and continue reading Elle's story.
Elle is 14 and she's not allowed to drink but she does anyway. Hehehe. School's started for the both of us so we will probably update every week for her and every fortnight for me because I'm in advanced classes and get more work. Well enjoy!

Bec's Point Of View (POV)
September turned into October and life at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was normal. Or as normal as things could ever be.
"BLACK, POTTER!" yelled Professor Asparagus.
"JAMES" yelled Lily.
"SIRIUS" yelled Em "STOP THAT RIGHTTTTTTT NOW!"
It was Friday morning and the Gryffindor 7th years had Herbology with the Ravenclaws. And as per usual Sirius and James had done something Asparagus. Today they had enchanted 2 dirt balls to follow Professor Asparagus.
The two boys grinned mischievously, but on looking at the faces of their girlfriends they shuddered. James immediately stopped his enchanted ball and started apologising to Lily. Sirius just looked away from Em and continued his morning prank.
"Lils, Lilikins I'm soooo sorry hunni" he apologised.
"Don't you say your sorry when you don't really mean it!" yelled Lily.
James apologising continued as Sirius continued to chase Asparagus with his dirt ball. Obviously he didn't care that Em had been screaming at him for the past 5 minutes.
"SIRIUS BLACK you stop that right now" Em yelled to the boy who was ignoring her.
"2 more seconds Em, that's all I want" he replied.
2 seconds turned into 10 minutes. Lily was still refusing to forgive James; Em had given up on trying to stop Sirius; Remus, Peter and Bella were doing there work; Asparagus' long white hair was covered in dirt; the Ravenclaw males were trying to talk to me, but I ignored them; Sirius was laughing and I was scowling at him.
He looked at the scowl on my face then immediately stopped laughing. He straightened up and unenchanted the dirt ball.
"Sorry Professor, I really am" he apologised "I just thought you needed a little excitement in your life, you know. I know you don't get out much and….." he was cut off by the knock at the door.
"Sorry to disturb you Professor Asparagus, but I need a little word with Mr. Black" it was Professor McGonagoll, she looked pale.
"Fine" yelled Asparagus "Sorry Minerva, didn't mean to be so-"
"It's alright Violet" replied McGonagoll "Black follow me please"
With that he left the room with Professor McGonagoll.
Sirius' Point Of View (POV)
Why does Bec do that to me? I mean, the way she can make me stop doing something and the way I try and be good around her. It's stupid, that's what it is. Oh yeah and I wonder what I've done this time. McGonagoll's taking me to Dumbeldore's office.
I've been there loads of times, Prongs and I always get sent there together. It's a great office, my great-great grandfather Phineas Nigellus probably loved that office too, and too bad he was hated so much. We had reached the statue now.
"Raspberry Bullets" said McGonagoll "Sirius, Professor Dumbeldore is waiting for you"
What's going on? McGonagoll never ever calls me Sirius. Why's she being so serious? Sirius, serious. Pretty funny.
"Alright" I replied. I walked up the stairs and through the grand doors. Waiting for me was Dumbledore. I took my usual seat across from him then stared at his pet phoenix Fawkes.
"Sirius, the Ministry has just sent me an owl" he told me, he paused then looked up at me "I have some bad news"
I started to worry. But I had no reason; all that I cared about was here at Hogwarts. Prongs, Moony, Wormtail, Bec, Lily, Em and Bella. They were more a family to me than my own family had ever been. I'm ready for anything.
"Your cousin Andromeda Tonks has been killed by Deatheaters" he told me "Her husband Ted and their 6 year old daughter Nymphadora are safe"
What? Andy gone? NO! She was, she IS my favourite cousin. She was the only one that I could talk to, the only one that laughed at my jokes, the only one that really loved me.
"May I be excused Professor" I asked, all blood from my face had disappeared. I was as white as a ghost.
"Yes, you may have the rest of the day off" he replied, concern and pity in his eyes.
"Thank you" I said as I stood up.
"Your cousin was a great witch, she was a great friend of mine during and after Hogwarts" he told me "And I know that she loved you like a little brother. She really did"
I couldn't stand it anymore, I just ran out of the office. Tears full of sorrow running down my cheek. I didn't expect that, I didn't want to believe that. Not Andy, not her. She was the only person in my stupid family that loved me. And she was the only person in my family that I loved. But she's gone, she really is gone.
My feet carried me to the owlery; I sat in the corner just crying. Bringing my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around my knees. For how long I stayed there I don't know. I just cried, thinking of Andy.
She was like me, we both disobeyed the family. She married Ted the muggle, and I was just a pain in the ass. I remember when she got married, none of the family showed up except for me. I was 10 and I stole father's broom and flew to the wedding. She was so happy to see me. Her and Ted made me ring bearer.
I remember little Nymphadora when she was born, she looked so much like Andy. The last time I saw all three of them was a few months ago. They helped me set up my apartment. Nymphadora was a metamorphagis, she made me laugh so much. But I preferred to see her normal face; she had the face of her mother and the smile of her father. Poor Ted, poor Nymphadora.
I broke down crying yet again, too many memories.
It was dark before anyone found me; I was surprised because they did have the Marauders Map.
"Sirius is that you" came an angelic voice, it was Bec "Sirius"
"Bec" I started, but I was engulfed by too many emotions. I hated crying in front of people.
"Oh my God, Sirius don't cry, please don't" she pleaded as she went down on the ground next to me; she was crying too "What's wrong?"
I held back my tears and looked at Bec "She's gone and she's not going to come back"
She said nothing, but she understood. She hugged me and swayed me gently from side to side.
I pulled away from her and stared her straight in the eyes "Life's too short" I said bluntly "I shouldn't. . . . . We shouldn't have to be like we are. Things shouldn't be like this. Andy didn't marry into a pureblood family, she married a muggle. Not to piss off the family, but because she LOVED him. Bec I -"
"Sirius your upset, please, let's just get to the common room" she told me "James and everyone is absolutely worried"
"Do you want to know what Dumbeldore told me?" I yelled "Andy's gone!"
"Sirius, I'm sorry" she said, she didn't even know why I was crying; but she hugged me anyway, she shared my grief, she. . . . . . she cares about me.
I took a step closer to her "Bec" I paused and tilted up her chin "Andy always told me that you should always follow your heart"
"What does your heart tell you?" she asked staring into my eyes.
"That I'm with the person I should be with, you" I replied, not breaking our eye contact. I saw a tear roll down her cheek, then two, then three. She's crying.
Common Room 10 minutes later
James Point Of View (POV)
"Where is he? Oh my God if something's happened to him. . . . NO! Nothing's happened to him. Where can he be? How come no one has found him yet? Why isn't he here? Padfoot you ass where have you gone" I yelled out my thoughts "Please be alright, I swear if you're. . . . NO! Nothing's happened to you"
"James" said Lily calmly as she grabbed me by the hand and sat me down in a chair "We'll find him I promise"
"What if you don't?" I argued "Lily you don't know where he is, NO ONE KNOWS WHERE HE IS"
"James, your mirror" exclaimed Lily. Oh yeah the mirror, I forgot about that. I grabbed the mirror from my pocket and yelled his name. I hear his voice. I see his face and body. He's climbing through the portrait hole. He's safe.
"Padfoot you ass I was worried sick" I yelled as I hugged him (brotherly of course).
"Don't worry Prongs I was alright, you can get off me now" he replied "If you like?" he added playfully.
"Oh Sirius you had us all worried sick" screamed Lily as she hugged Sirius "James kept yelling and banging his head on the fireplace"
"Sirius is alright, he just needs some sleep" Bec told Lily and I. The rest of the gang were around the castle looking for him.
"Yeah, all I need is some sleep" Sirius reassured us.
Sirius and Bec disappeared up the steps, while we stayed downstairs to wait for everybody. That boy scared me half to death!
Lily and I sat on the couch. "Lily, I was so worried. I don't know what I'd do if one of us went missing. Lily……I wouldn't know what I'd do if you went missing"
"James, it's pretty hard to go missing if you're always with me" she said as she laughed.
"Lily" (James)
"James" (Lily)
"I'm going to promise you something" I told her as I got on one knee "I promise you that wherever fate, fortune and life may lead us I will always be there for you" I took her hand in mine "I promise you that I will stand by you in sickness and in health and protect you with my life" I looked up at her "And I will forever cherish your beauty, presence and love" I stood up and looked into her dazzling green eyes "Lily Evans I - "
"IS he back?" yelled Remus, Peter, Bella and Em as they scrambled through the portrait hole. Great timing they have, don't they?
"Yeah" we said in unison as we broke eye contact and turned towards the 4 figures running to the boys' dormitories. In 2 seconds they had disappeared to the boys' dorms.
"Did you just propose to me James Potter?" asked Lily teasingly.
"Well……" I said as I raised my eyebrows "Someone's eager, aren't they?"
"Oh James your so cute" she replied, giving me a soft peck on the lips "Goodnight Japotter, I need my beauty sleep"
"Goodnight my beautiful Levans" I said as I kissed her hand.
That concludes my final chapter. Farewell and I hope you liked it, I had fun writing it. I love you all reviewers, Mwah Mwah Mwah! It was sad, then happy. Hope you liked!
