Sorry, I haven't written a lot lately, I've been busy. Here's some more!
To all my great reviewers:
Ralee: ~Rolls eyes~ Nice descriptions eh? Hahaha.
Jenn: Thanks! That was nice of you. I'm not sure what you mean by detailed; Ralee thought the descriptions on the kisses were good. Lol, but thank you anyways, and I'm trying to finish as soon as I can! Please review more!
Black Dragon Lady, aka HLB: Sorry, I won't say your whole name because I don't cuss. I'm glad you like my story, and I didn't think I needed a beta. I use Microsoft Word, and check all spellings. I think what it is, is that I don't double-check the chapter to make sure I didn't mess up because I'm lazy. I'll be sure to do that with this chapter. Thanks for your help, and keep reviewing!
DanielLover4Lyfe: Yes, you got a special note! Lol. Unfortunately for you, the person who plays bass in this story, is not a guy, it's a girl. But hey, it's still cool, right? Keep reviewing, can't wait to hear more from you! And for your second review, that you had to go a few chapters back for, I thank you so much, I'm really happy to know that someone is actually reading my story, and looking forward to more! Here's another chapter!
CHAPTER TWENTY
The next evening, after dinner, Elorra, Lizzy, Missy, Hermione, and Mandy were sitting in the common room, getting ready to go meet Ralee. Actually, they'd all had a busy day, and were lounging around in armchairs, eyes half closed.
"What time is it?" Mandy asked languidly, propping her feet up on the coffee table.
Lizzy sank down lower in her chair. "Dunno."
Hermione lifted her wrist up and looked at her watch. "6:30." She said. Then her arm dropped back down over her stomach.
Ron and Harry, who were sitting on the couch, half asleep, murmured slightly as if agreeing.
"Lizzy, you've got a spider on your head." Missy said, suddenly, but slowly.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Came from Ron behind the couch.
Lizzy picked up the spider off of her head.
"Bob! There you are!"
"You have a pet spider?" Missy asked.
"No. Want to see the spider that could fly?"
Lizzy put the spider on her hand, and blew on the spider. It went flying and landed in Crookshanks' mouth.
"Well, Bob's dead." said Elorra.
Mandy rolled her eyes. "Come on you guys we have to stop playing around. Ralee is expecting us." Hermione nodded in agreement.
The girls stood up and filed out of the portrait hole, muttering to themselves.
Ron watched them. "I'm not going to rest until I know what they're up to," He said.
Harry rolled his eyes. "At the risk of saying: 'It's none of your business'- it's none of your business!"
Ron glared at him. "Oh shut up, Harry."
The girls were in the Transfiguration classroom, waiting for Ralee.
Finally Mandy spoke up. "She's late."
Hermione looked at her watch. "Where is she?"
"What if this was all a big joke on us?" Elorra asked worriedly.
"I hope nothing happened to her," Missy said.
"She's probably with Draco Malfoy." Lizzy said contemptuously.
Suddenly the door burst open. The girls all looked up to see Ralee stumble into the room, tears running down her face.
Missy jumped up. "I knew something happened to you!" She ran over to Ralee. "What happened?"
"Are you ok?" Mandy added.
Ralee covered her face with her hands. "It's-it's Draco." She sniffed loudly.
"I knew it," Lizzy muttered. But no one heard her.
Ralee bent her head down, sobbing.
"What happened?" Mandy asked.
Ralee shook her head, still crying. "He broke up with me."
Mandy, Missy, Hermione, Elorra, and Lizzy looked at each other in concern.
Elorra spoke up. "I'm really sorry Ralee."
Ralee's shoulders were shaking but her sobs had stopped. She looked up and they saw that she was laughing. "Oh man, did I get you good! I'm crying because I just came from the kitchens. Whew, there must have been a lot of onions in there." She wiped at her streaming eyes. "Anyways, I got some snacks." She pulled out of her robes: a flagon of pumpkin juice, and a box of cauldron cakes.
The girls stared at her in disbelief. Finally Lizzy stepped forward, and grabbed Ralee's hand. "That was bloody wicked." She said in congratulations.
Ralee grinned. "Thank you. Now shall we get to work? Since this is supposed to be a muggle band, it's a good thing you can play muggle instruments. It's quite good actually. Now, we will have to use muggle instruments for this, but we won't need amplifiers or speakers, because we can just use charms for that. I stored some stuff in here earlier." She said indicating a closet. She opened the door, and took out mini little instruments, holding them up for them to see.
Elorra wrinkled her forehead. "But how can we play them when they're so small?"
Ralee resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "I shrank them."
She went around the room setting the instruments on the floor. Then she backed off, waved her wand around and exclaimed, "Knirhsnu!" The instruments rose up from the floor until they returned to full size. "All right girls, let's play!"
(This next part is dedicated to my friend Marissa.)
Meanwhile, Sirius Black stacked up some papers and put them inside his desk drawer. He propped his elbows on his desk and sighed. He was so tired and stressed out; it wasn't even funny. He closed his eyes and rubbed his throbbing head. He had so much work to do. He'd been doing errands for the ministry of magic, and he'd stayed up later and later every night. Not to mention it wasn't fair to Marissa. He hardly spent any time with her anymore. He didn't even know where she was right now. She was supposed to be helping him file some papers, but he'd been such a jerk to her the last time he saw her, he wouldn't be surprised if she totally backed out on him.
He'd been sitting in the Great hall, enjoying his supper while talking with Professor Dumbledore, when she had come up to him with a smile on her face. She asked him to come out into the hallway with her. Dumbledore had given him a great wink, but he'd been so tired last night, that he'd pulled his arm away and snapped at her, telling her to leave him alone for once. The hurt had shown on her face, and he immediately felt sorry, but she'd run away before he could say anything to her. Then later, He tried to talk to her to tell her he was sorry. He went up to her in the Gryffindor common room and sat down beside her. He told he was sorry, but why did she have to keep bothering him? She'd flown into a rage and had thrown the book she was reading down. "Oh so is that what you think of me? Just as a pest? Someone who takes up your time? Fine, Sirius Black. You can take your time and use it on something you find worthy." She'd spat at him. "And find something worthy to do with this too!" She'd taken off the ring he'd given her and threw it on the floor. She'd marched away, leaving him shocked behind her.
He hadn't gotten any sleep all night long, due to the immense feelings of guilt he'd had. At breakfast that morning, he nearly fell into his pudding; he was so exhausted. He almost felt like bursting into tears, he was so unhappy. He slid his fingers through his hair and let them stay there, resting on his elbows. He thought of when he had asked Marissa to marry him. It was such a happy moment. He loved her more than anything. He thought about them living together with Harry, and he grinned. Then he remembered that she'd thrown her ring at him. That was it. He couldn't handle it any more. He hadn't had an ounce of sleep for the past three days, and he had been doing very stressful jobs. Then to top it all off, his fiancé, the woman he loved, hated him now. He started to cry, all of his hurt and sadness pouring out of him. His shoulders shook uncontrollably as he tried unsuccessfully to hold back his tears. "What have I done?" He cried to himself. "I love her so much.and I ruined everything. Oh Marissa, I love you!" He put his head down on the table, and sobbed.
All of a sudden, he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. He looked up, startled. Marissa was standing over him, looking very upset.
"Sirius. I'm so sorry-I-I, didn't mean it."
Sirius looked up at her and gave a small smile. "No, Marissa, I'm sorry. I should have put you first on my list. Now I've ruined it all." He put his face in his hands.
Marissa pulled on his shoulder. "No, you haven't. I take it back." Her voice grew quieter. "Sirius, There's nothing I want more then to be Mrs. Sirius Black."
Sirius froze, savoring those words. "Oh, Merlin." He breathed.
He leapt out of his chair, surprising Marissa, and swept her up in his strong arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, and gently pressed his lips against hers. He kissed her more urgently, begging for entry into her mouth. And when she opened her lips more, he dove straight in, savoring her taste, and he broke apart from her briefly to pull the ring out of his pocket. He held it up. "This is for you." He grinned.
Tears glistened in her eyes as she slipped her finger in the ring, and pulled him close for another kiss.
