Chapter 4 Ashmire's Love
"Sayre, wake up" whispered Ashmire to Sayre. "She's been crying all night long," said a voice as Ashmire looked around. "Whose there?" asked Ashmire her candle light on it's last flame. "Sylvia Knox. I'm her friend." Answered a girl with short messed up brown hair and glowing blue eyes. "Oh well can you help me wake her up." Said Ashmire as she tried to wake up Sayre. "Wake up Sayre, it's me Sylvia and Ashmire." Said Sylvia tugging on Sayre's green lace dress. "What?" said a grunted voice as Sayre turned over. "Get up Sayre! It's Auntie Ashmire! (Boy did that sound Dorky, thought Ashmire) We have to go find your Mom. I have a feeling she is off to find James." Sayre leaped out of bed and ran to her dresser and grabbed the lit candle. She fixed her hair into an untouched ponytail and walked up to Ashmire. "Can she come with us?" asked Sayre. "I don't think so. I don't think it's right to cut her from school" sighed Ashmire and Sayre continued to plead. "Come on Ashe. She knows every way of the forest! She lived here with her Pa pa!" Ashmire looks at Sylvia. "I guess.." Sylvia smiles and packs her stuff silently. "Ok guys let's get packed and we'll go find Lily" said Ashmire as she grabbed a pair of clothes and started to put them on. Sayre grabbed a robe and so did Sylvia as they all got dressed silently. "Ok ready guys? Let's go!" whispered Ashmire as they left their room and entered and empty corridor. "Great how do we get out of here?" Ashmire looked at her wand and smiled right before Sylvia said something. "Cuminidae Pointer!" shouted Ashmire as a sudden gust of wind blew towards the right way to exit. "Wow" mouthed Sayre and Sylvia. "This Way!" Ashmire, Sayre and Sylvia all ran down the silent corridor hoping they wouldn't run into anybody. Soon they entered a dark room with silver stars decorated on the ceiling. It was so dark you couldn't see where the hall ended. But as Ashmire ran quicker and quicker down the hall she ran into something hard and tall. She fell back and Sayre and Sylvia sat there trying to see what the thing was. The man took off his hood and looked down at the beautiful girl who ran into him. Ashmire was so scared she fell back almost hitting the floor but saved by the mysterious man. "Please let me go." she breathed hoping the man would let go of her. "I won't ever let that happen again." Said the deep voice. Ashmire sighed trying to think of what this man meant by this. "Ashmire Starr your such a beauty." Ashmire felt his warm fingers gripping her shoulders. She winced and then closed her eyes shut hoping it was a dream than she shouted out, "Are you here, Sayre, Sylvia?" she asked as the man spoke. "Yes there in my friend's arms" he said. Than the man carried Ashmire out of the room and out of the castle followed by his two friends. When they were outside Ashmire opened her eyes to see who the mad man was and to see if the girls were okay. He has my wand.panicked Ashmire. "Okay look who I am Ashe" Ashmire looked up and saw a man that looked so familiar with handsome black hair and solid blue eyes. "Sirius!" she shouted and kissed him as he kissed her back. "How. Where. When?" she began but Sirius cut her off. "They threw me out of the school and I ran out to find you. Of course I knew you were Elvish so I tried Batwings academy, because I also knew you wanted to finish your education. And I knew you wouldn't go home facing the fact that your parents would kill you if they knew you got cut out of school" he smiled as Ashmire hugged him crying slightly. "I'm so happy your okay." she cried and hugged him closer. He kissed her cheek and told her it would be okay and she smiled.
"But who are your friends? James, Maybe?" hoped Ashmire as Sirius looked at the floor. "I wish Ashe. I looked all over for him.But this is Remus and Peter." He said as Ashmire looked at him. "Remus cut class?" she asked sounding shocked. "Yeah but you know him his friends are in trouble." He said as Ashmire walked up to Lupin. "Thanks Lupin" she said as she kissed him on the cheek. "My pleasure Ashe" he said as she smiled. "One question Ashmire" said Peter. "Yes Peter?" asked Ashmire amazed that Peter actually talked. "Whose this?" he asked pointing to Sylvia. "Sylvia Knox. Sayre's friend." Said Ashmire as Sirius looked alarmed. "Ashe, does she know that erm.Sayre is well you know (his voice grew tense and quieter) not real?" asked Sirius as Ashmire looked alarmed too. "I don't think.no she doesn't how could she know?" Ashmire asked as she looked at Sirius. "You might want to tell her" he said. "Oh okay" she said as she pulled Sylvia aside and whispered that to her. "Sylvia. Um you see Lily and James were partners in a family project. And our teacher made these babies that are made to get older quicker. And well Sayre is one of those babies. And she's not real and when the projects over she won' t be here anymore." Ashmire said as Sylvia looked at the floor and cried. Ashmire hugged her and picked her up. She comforted her after awhile and then she turned back to Sirius. "What do we do now?" she asked. "Well were going to get on these horses I borrowed and find Lily and James. I have no clue where they are." Said Sirius and Ashmire nodded. "Let's go. But the last time I saw Lils she was on her way to this castle but she never showed she's somewhere in here." Ashmire said looking at he dark sky. "Okay you heard her guys." Said Sirius as Ashmire sat on his horse with him. After a while they too came across Delmassa's hut and they stopped because it was way to dark to continue. "Let's sleep here if we can" said Sirius as the men agreed. They tied their horses to the trees and everyone except Ashmire and Sirius went up to the door.
"Sirius I love you. Thank you for coming back for me" she said as she rested her head on his warm chest. "I love you too Ashe. And I would always come back for you." He said and kissed her forehead as Ashmire smiled. She then went to the door with the others. Sirius knocked and a beautiful girl answered the door. "Dell? Is that you girl?" asked Ashmire trying hard to see her face through shadowed darkness. "Yes! Ashmire! Hello it's so great to see you. And Sirius oh nice to see you boy. And Lupin.." she began but se stared at him and smiled. "It's VERY good to see you" she said as he smiled and hugged her. Ashmire looked at Sirius wondering when this started. "Come in guys!" she said happily as Sirius, Ashmire, Peter, Remus, Sylvia, and Sayre walked in. "Lily is here with Harry their sleeping in the other room. Do you guys want a room too?" asked Delmassa as they all nodded. "Okay I see how Ashe and Sirius are a couple you guys can have that room and share the King sized bed. Lupin you can sleep in the guest bedroom. Peter you can sleep on the couch" They all agreed except Ashmire shivered when she said for her and Sirius to share a bed. That was too much for her. She panicked but when she looked at Sirius he looked fine with it actually better than fine with that. "Sirius just because we share a bed doesn't mean that we well you know have to." Ashmire's eyes grew worried as Sirius smiled. "It's okay Ashe I'm not a beast. I won't pull anything funny on you. And what made you think I would?" he looked at her as her face was relieved. "Well your reputation at school isn't that great. It says that you well go from girl to girl at night." she said as Sirius disagreed. " Well that just shows you can't believe everything you hear" he said and kissed her. 'We'll talk to Lily in the morning I'm going to bed." She said as Sirius agreed and followed her. As they arrived in there room Ashmire flipped off her shirt and pants and took out her silky pajamas. Sirius seemed alerted by this but Ashmire had 3 brothers and was use to changing when they were around. Ashmire than flipped on her pajamas and laid down as Sirius went into the bathroom and changed. When he came out he slept next to Ashmire and fell asleep.
Lily woke up and found that Harry was still sleeping. She put her hair in a loose braid and took a candle with her upstairs. It was still pretty dark out but the morning was still young. When she saw Delmassa cooking a lot of waffles for breakfast she spoke up. "Morning Del" she said cheerfully as Delmassa smiled. "Mornin' Lily" she said. "Having company? I see there's 11 plates out! There should only be 5. Me you Harry, your granny and gramps." She said as Delmassa shook her head. "Nope not expecting company." She said. "What?" asked Lily confused. "Well Sirius, Ashmire, Peter, Lupin, Sayre, and a sweet girl named Sylvia decided to stop by last night while you were sleeping." Delmassa said as she started to pour orange juice in the cups. "Really!? Well that's wonderful! Are they awake yet?" asked Lily hopefully. "Nope. Well Lupin is though we had a nice chat this morning. He's sitting outside now watching the horses." She said as Lily sat down and drank some orange juice.
"Mom!" shouted a girl voice as Lily jumped up. "Hey Sayre! How's Mom's baby girl doing?" Lily asked as Sayre jumped on her lap. "Great! Where's Harry?" she asked as she smiled. "He's in the bedroom. But don't wake him. I s'pose he's still tired." she began but Sayre ran in her bedroom. "Kids." sighed Lily and then heard someone else waking up. "Sister!" shouted Ashmire as she ran and hugged Lily. Lily smiled "Morning" said Lily as she saw Sirius walk towards Lily. "Hey how's my girl doing?" asked Sirius as he hugged Lily. Lily kissed him on the cheek. "It's good to see you Sirius! So how are you and Ashmire doing?" asked Lily as Sirius blushed. "Well very good I mean we shared a bed together." he began but Ashmire punched him. "You wish! Well I mean we did but we didn't do anything." Said Ashmire as she laughed. Lily frowned and sat down. Just as she watched Sirius and Ashmire giggling and flirting it made Lily think of James. "What if we never find him Sirius? I miss.James." Lily cried as Sirius comforted her. "We are going to find him I promise Lily" Sirius said as Ashmire hugged Lily.
A/N: Well that explains a lot. Now I am trying to show you how close Sirius and Ashmire are getting, and how great of friends Sirius and Lily are. Also how much Lily misses James. Also there's something special that I'm not going to reveal for a while about Sylvia Knox. Plus your probably wondering why little harry and Sayre are still here because they're not in school and it says that when the project is over they disappear. Well that will be explained soon enough. And Jame's sounds so far away but he's a lot closer than you think. Plus notice there's something going on between Lupin and Delmassa.
"Sayre, wake up" whispered Ashmire to Sayre. "She's been crying all night long," said a voice as Ashmire looked around. "Whose there?" asked Ashmire her candle light on it's last flame. "Sylvia Knox.
