Well I don't know all the details seeing as I only got the second hand edition from Harry afterwards. Apparently though Rachel had been spending time with Harry when Sirius came up to them. Rachel started to walk away not wanting to put up with his 'Assholeness' when Sirius made some sort of comment that got Rachel all pissed off. Of course she couldn't just let it go.
"Sirius Black! When you die I'm going to come to your funeral in a red dress!"
"Strapless?"
"AH! You're impossible!"
"Admit it Rachel. You love me."
She stopped looking confused for a minute. Just a minute, before giving him a deadly glare.
"I so do not love you."
"Yes you do. Other wise I wouldn't get to you so easily. You love me."
"No I don't!"
"Yes you do."
"Do not!"
"Do too," he calmly replied.
"DO NOT!"
"Do too."
"DO No-"
It went on and on.
After hearing all this from Harry I went up to my dorm to make sure Rach hadn't done anything drastic like jump out the window, plummeting to her death.
She hadn't.
She was laying on her bed, face down.
"Rach? You okay? Harry told me what happened..."
She turned over. Her eyes were red but dry.
"You know what makes it worse?" She whispered, her voice raspy from yelling. "He's right. I love that pompous asshole."

AN: hehe, I could be evil and just leave it like that. Cliff hanger!!! But since the last few chapters have been really sort and far apart I'll be nice and continue. Consider yourselves lucky!!!

So Rachel finally told me something. Well, it's about time.
"What do you mean you love him?!? I mean are you sure? Cause I could've sworn you hated him."
"Lily! I wouldn't be saying I love him if I wasn't positive of it! Do you think I want to love him? I mean he's an asshole! What I don't understand is how he knows! I mean I never told even you!"
"Yeah, about that, why didn't you tell me? I mean I'm your best friend! I tell you everything! And you don't even tell me when you like a guy or that you keep a diary-" oops. Busted.
"What?"
"Nothing! I said you don't even tell me when you lie a guy."
"How do you know about that? Have you read it? How did you find out about that?" She looked surprised, hurt, a little betrayed.
"I was lookign for your Transfiguration book-"
"Why didn't you just use your?"
"It was downstairs."
"And???"
"I was mad at James and he was down there I didn't want to talk to him..."
"And you read it?"
"It was from fourth year!"
"Still!"
"Why don't you just tell me things! Instead of me having to find out you've been obsessed with Sirius for like four years!"
"Maybe there was a reason I didn't tell you!"
"Like what!"
"I don't want to love him Lily!" she whined softly.
"I know, but you still could have told me!" I said also softly.
"I'm sorry.. I just." A single tear ran down her face.
"Rach! Don't cry!" I pulled her into a hug. "Please don't cry."
~
"Sirius Black! Get your arse down here this instant!"
"What?" he said walking leisurely down the stair to the common room where I stood, hands on my hips, frown on my face.
Rachel had fallen asleep after crying for like an hour. Actually it had been very heeling for both of us. She told me of her unwanted crush on Sirius and I told her of my frustration of her not telling me anything. You know, girl talk.
"What?" Sirius asked again having reached the bottom of the stairs.
"What did you mean by that comment earlier?"
"Huh?" Typical clueless male.
"Earlier when you said Rachel loved you."
"Oh, that. Well, she does."
"And how do you figure this?"
"It's obvious!"
"Really? I wasn't aware of it. Besides I thought you were the one who loved her."
"Huh?"
"Almost two months ago. That stupid soul mate potion. She's you're soul mate." I paused before saying, more to myself than to Sirius. "Although you did puke afterwards..."
"First of all I didn't puke at the thought of belonging with Rachel. Peter and just farted. There is nothing worse smelling than that I can tell you. Second I don't need a stupid potion to tell me Rachel's my soul mate."
AN: Sorry. I just had to put that. Hehe.. :)
"Huh?" Who's clueless now. Oh, right. Me.
"Look, I know Rachel's my soul mate. I love her. And doesn't that go two ways? Trust me. She loves me. She just doesn't know it yet."
Wow. Is Sirius being serious? I mean he's actually making sense and- Wait! Did he just say he loves Rach???
"You love her?!?"
"You didn't know that? Oh, I would have figured James would have told you... Although from the look on your face I'm guessing he didn't."
"You love her? You, Sirius Black, King of one night stands? New girl every week if not sooner? Interesting... Well, um I'm going up to bed..."
"Lily? Don't tell Rachel!"
"Oh! Don't worry!" I said walking swiftly backwards up the stairs.
But he didn't see my crossed fingers behind my back.
AN: Well, that was longer than the last few have been. I hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter will be out soon. Review! ~Allison
