The Long Awaited Day (part 1)

Sirius POV

As the suns light entered the boy's dormitory two figures stirred and woke up, while the other two remained in their dreams. One of them was me, and the other was Moony. I knew I had to tell him how I felt about Bec, but I wasn't sure now was the right time.

"Morning Moony!" I said as I yawned. He sighed.

"Right back at ya, Padfoot" he replied as he got up and made his bed "Um………..listen Sirius we need to talk……..it's about Bec"

Oh shit, does he know? No he doesn't, no one knows. YET! I threw the covers off my body and got out of bed and walked to Moony's made bed.

"What do we need to talk about?" I asked as I sat down.

"I need to break it off with her!" said Moony quietly. He sat down next to me and explained how he didn't want to hold her down. By the end of his 10 minute rant about pity and obligation I decided to tell him about Em and how I wanted to break up with her.

"Hey Moony, I want to break up with Em" I mumbled quietly "But the problem is…..She's in love with me"

"Padfoot" he said rather seriously "If everyone in this world was with the person they were in love with, this world would be stupid! More than one person can be in love with you and you could be in love with more than one person, or love one of the people who are in love with you. You get my drift" he added once he looked at the incredulous look on my face.

"Yeah I get your drift" suddenly a realisation came to me. I jumped up and hugged Moony "You're a legend mate! I guess breaking up with Em won't be that bad, I'll just say what you just said"

He looked at me, obviously disappointed "No Padfoot, you cannot use my words, nor quote me. This is between you and Em. Say what's in you heart, not what's in mine. Okay!" he half laughed when he saw the puppy dog eyes I was giving him "By the way, I think we should go down to the portrait of the Fat Lady and change the password"

We ran down the stairs, through the common room and through the portrait hole. We turned around to see a tipsy looking Fat Lady and her friend, Violet.

"Dears, why 'hiccup' are you 'hiccup' up so early?" slurred out the Fat Lady.

"Looksie looksie at that one" squealed Violet as she pointed at me "He's got his top off, ohhhh fine young specimen!"

"Vi, leave the 'hiccup' boy alone!" yelled the Fat Lady, but started to giggle as she looked at my bare muscle chest.

"Excuse me ladies" I said in my most charming voice "I would like the password to Gryffindor Tower to be changed. I have a prefect with me and I have a new password"

Remus made a coughing noise, but the ladies in the portrait just kept giggling. "Excuse Ms. Fat Lady, but I believe I could get Mr. Filch here and ask him to replace you"

"Sorry sir, Mr. Prefect" said Violet sarcastically "Well, first tell us the reason why the Fat Lady should change the password"

It was my turn to speak. "Because the present password 'Sirius and Em, forever' is stupid and false"

"Wait a minute" interrupted the Fat Lady "You're the boy who changed it last month" she said as she pointed to me "And you're the 'prefect' that helped him last month" she said as she pointed to Remus. "Well boys, why the change of heart?"

Remus was about to make up a story, but I got in first "Because my feelings for Emmeline Vance have changed" I mumbled quietly "And I'm going to break up with her as soon as possible. This password would just bring tears to her eyes if she had to say it. ALRIGHT!" I yelled.

The ladies in the portrait went quiet and Remus just stood there looking at me. Finally someone stirred, it was Violet.

"Well, I'll be going now. See you all later" she said as she went into the next portrait. She whispered to the inhabitants of that portrait then moved to the next, doing exactly the same thing. All the portraits along the hallway gasped and looked my way.

"Sorry Sirius, but I think the whole school will know before you even tell Em" whispered Remus as he looked down the hallway "How bout' we change the password to 'changes'?"

"Yes that's fine" mumbled the Fat Lady, obviously she was shocked at Sirius' honesty and frankness.

"Changes" I yelled "Well, open up!"

"Yes, sorry sirs" replied the Fat Lady.

We walked into the common room. Apparently my yelling had woken up a group of girls. Em, Bec, Lily, Bella and the Murdock Twins were waiting for us. Open eyed and shocked.

"SIRIUS BLACK!" yelled Em as she walked up to him "I LOVED YOU, I HONESTLY AND TRULY AND WHOLE HEARTEDLY LOVED YOU"

"Well news flash Vance, he doesn't love you" yelled Courtney as her and Christina laughed at Em.

"I loved you" she whispered, more to herself than to me, tears began to roll down her cheeks "I honestly, truly and whole heartedly loved you. Goodbye" with that she ran up the stairs with Lily, Bec and Bella following her.

As the boys and I entered the Great Hall for breakfast everyone turned and looked our way. We were use to people staring at our stunning looks, but there faces were different this morning. They weren't filled with wonder and awe. They were full of disgust. Apparently Violet had told the entire school. We were walking to Gryffindor table, but I was stopped by……….. my brother, Regulus.

"Morning Sirius" he said in a pompous tone and grinned. Even though he was in 3rd year he had the snobby look down pat. He stuck up his nose to me and my friends.

"So Big Brother, I heard you broke up with Emmy" he continued "And I thought you were smarter than that"

"What are you talking about Little Brother?" I replied nonchalantly. I knew my brother too well; he was going to take a cheap shot, like he always did.

"Well, I know you're not dumb Big Brother, even though mother keeps insisting that you are. Well anyway, I knew you would want to be accepted back into the Poor Blood Society, but you would need something or someone to get you back in" he paused and grinned at the person who just walked in, it was Em and the girls.

"Shut up Regulus" I said firmly "You are talking bullshit! I would never want to go back to that….to that life. That useless life of prestige, arrogance, superiority and hatred. You are right on one thing though. I am not dumb"

He sighed and looked from Em to me "You were using Em. A nice pureblood marriage would have gotten you back in. I know you were Sirius, don't give me that bullshit about not wanting to come home. You miss it! And last summer you said that you never ever even LIKED Em. You said you were using her for the sex" he laughed and walked back to the Slytherin table.

"Always taking the cheap shots aren't you?" I yelled to his retreating back "And always as ignorant as always. Em and I never had sex"

He turned around and walked back to me. We exchanged glares, then we both smirked the Black grin, the grin which meant we were proud of ourselves or we had the upper hand on something.

"You talk about ignorance Sirius, you say I am always ignorant. Well guess what? You are unaware of how our dear cousin Andromeda, your precious Andy, died" he said, pronouncing each word clearly, each word which was piercing my body like daggers. What would he know? He's just a boy. Dumbledore would have told me, wouldn't he?

He laughed at my vacant expression. "Let's just say it was Rodolphus's engagement present to Bellatrix" he paused and yawned "You know they're getting married soon"

"How dare you?" I yelled as whipped out my wand and pointed it at him "Impedimenta!" with that Regulus was knocked off his feet. Hand on wand he remained on the ground and yelled "Scourgify"

The whole halls eyes were on us. Brother against Brother. Black against Black. Good against Evil I guess.

"Mr. Black, Mr. Black!" yelled our two heads of houses. Professor McGonagall and Professor Lescroart.

"Detention and 10 points from Slytherin and Gryffindor" roared McGonagall.

Regulus walked over to the Slytherin table, while I walked with my friends to the Gryffindor table.

(A/N - If you're wonder why the Marauders didn't help Sirius, it was because they knew Sirius didn't need or want help. And they knew it was a family thing, something Sirius needed to handle alone. And come on, Regulus is in 3rd year.)

Everyone still gave me that disgusted look, but I didn't care. Remus' words kept replaying in my head 'More than one person can be in love with you and you could be in love with more than one person'

And then Regulus' words sank in.

You are unaware of how our dear cousin Andromeda, your precious Andy, died. Let's just say it was Rodolphus's engagement present to Bellatrix.

And then I recalled Dumbledore's office, and the words he had said.

Your cousin Andromeda Tonks has been killed by Deatheaters.

That meant Bellatrix and her future husband were Deatheaters, which meant they were working for Voldemort.

A/N – If I added the next part it would be too long for my liking. So the relationship part will be in part 2. Hope you enjoyed! Take care. Please R+R!
