The Duel
Sirius got up early next morning before Electra, it had taken all of his time just to get her settled, he was really starting to worry about her. Yes he was worried to start with but now, he didn't know it was like nothing he did made her feel better, there was a time that he could have just smiled and kissed her and everything was all alright, but now she hardly let him near her.
Sirius walked down to the dungeon's, he didn't bother to knock on his office door he just walked in, though he did knock on his bedroom not wanting to see anything that would give in nightmares for the rest of his life.
Severus didn't answer so he knocked again, and again he didn't answer though he did hear something; he pushed open the door slowly and walked in the nose was coming from the bathroom, it sounded as though Severus was being sick.
Sirius smiled to himself as he pushed the bathroom door open, and there was Severus sat on the bathroom floor with his head over the toilet; he looked up when he realised the door opened and glared at Sirius, though it wasn't as fettering as usually.
"Well it seems that someone can't take their drink." Sirius said as he lead against the door frame.
"What the hell do you care?" Severus shot at him. "Get out! Get the hell out of here!"
"Now, now that isn't at all nice now is it?" Sirius said smiling slightly down at him.
"What! I don't want your help; I don't want anything of yours!" Severus shouted at him, though maybe he should haven shouted, because he turned back round quickly and threw up.
"God Snape how much did you have last night?" Sirius said screwing up his face. "What the hell has gotten into you?"
"Like you don't know." Severus shouted as he tried to get to his feet, but fell back down again. "Why else would you come down here?"
"I only came down because you upset Electra last night." Sirius told him.
Severus looked at him and smiled, this really crept Sirius out because it was even more disturbed then normal.
"What now you're getting a kick out of seeing unhappy?" Sirius asked.
"Of course...what are you a completely idiot?" Severus said, making Sirius glare at him.
"You know if you carry on like that I won't help you." Sirius told him.
"I don't want your help; I don't want anything of yours!" Severus shouted at him.
"Good because you're not going to get anything of mine, anyway everything of mine is way too good for you." Sirius told him.
"Really is that so?" Severus asked, Sirius looked down at him wondering what on earth he was talking about but decided to ignore him he was just talking nonsense.
"Can we get out of here?" Sirius asked him, he stood there not sure if he wanted to help him; but decided that it was going to be the only way of getting out of his bathroom. He bent down and grabbed hold of his against Severus' protests of help, and pulled him to his feet and out of the bathroom and through to his bedroom, he threw him onto the bed and stood over him.
Severus seemed to look even more of a mess now then he had when he was sat on the bathroom floor in front of the toilet. Sirius didn't know what to, he had no idea what could have gotten Severus of all people like this, he was normally so reserved what would make him lose it.
"Snape...erm Severus, what happened?" Sirius asked slowly.
Severus looked up at him and laughed a cold pricing laugh he had never heard before and wished that he would never hear again.
"God Severus...what..." Sirius tried to ask again.
"I doubt that you really want to know and that you don't care about me...no one does and we both know it." Severus said. "Like you've said yourself more then once, why the hell would anyone like me, look at me! What the hell do I have to offer anyone? The only person I cared about loved someone else, I never stood a chance...well that's no surprise is it?"
Sirius just stood there staring at him, this defiantly wasn't what he had been expecting to do this morning; he was a little worried about his mental health.
"What, I'm not aloud to have feelings now or something...I have feelings just like the next person I just don't put them on show unlike you!" Severus shot at him getting to his making Sirius step back away from him.
"Severus maybe you should go up to see Madam Pomfery or get some sleep, you might feel better then." Sirius told him.
"You mean that I'll just go away and go back to Snivellus isn't that what you used to call me?" Severus shot at him. "I could have had everything that you had and more, if I was only given the chance, if you and your stupid friends hadn't decided that it was going to be me who you bullied all the way through school just so you could get a high from seeing me...but no that wasn't enough, you had to come back now and rub my face in it even more."
"What are you talking about?" Sirius asked him stepping farer away but Severus was following him, he wasn't going to let him go now that he had him here and now.
"What the hell do you think I'm talking about?" Severus said in a low whisper. "She should have been mine, she would have been mine if you wouldn't have come along...she was yesterday." Severus smiled at him as he watched Sirius trying to figure out what he was saying but it seemed as though his brain had stopped working, well that is if he had even had one in the first place.
"What are you saying?" Sirius asked him slowly.
"You know what I'm saying." Severus told him coldly, and smiled suddenly.
Sirius pulled out his wand and pointed it him, but Severus didn't move, though he didn't have his wand on him he was only wearing his night-shirt.
"Oh you've finally worked it out have you, took you long enough...what your brain doesn't work as fast this early in the morning." Severus said, as he held out his hand and his wand flew over to him from underneath his robes. "What and now you want to duel me?"
"I will if you don't take back what you just said." Sirius warned him, but Severus just smiled at him again. Sirius waved his wand and Severus went flying into the wall and fell to the ground, but as he was getting to his feet he waved his own wand cutting Sirius across the face and making him fall to his feet.
***
Electra ran into the hospital wing, she saw Severus on the nearest bed; she started to walk over to him but then she saw Sirius on the bed facing him and turned to him. Sirius tried to sit up so that Severus could see him; he smiled at him as Electra stood over him. Sirius had several cuts on his face and chest, but all of the blood had been clean.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Electra demanded. "Both of you, you were acting like children, fighting I don't believe it."
"What...but...he..." Sirius tried to explain.
"I don't want to hear it, any of it...there's no accurse to be fighting." Electra told them.
"If you say so." Severus said as he also sat up, he also had a few cuts on his chest, but Electra couldn't look at him every time she looked at him she remember what she had done in the library.
"See! See what he's saying he's trying to poison us against each other!" Sirius shouted.
"Calm down Mr Black." Madam Pomfery told him before she went back into her office.
"I don't care what ever he said, it still doesn't mean that you should have fought each other and nearly killed each other no matter what it was about." Electra told him.
"It was about you...does that make a difference?" Severus asked her, but again she didn't look at him and Severus noticed this time. "Look at me, and answer the question."
"Don't tell her what to do!" Sirius shouted at him.
But Electra still couldn't look at him, and even Sirius was partly wondering if what Severus had said or didn't say was true but he wasn't going to ask her in front of him because then would mean that he had won, and he could never let that happen, never.
Electra turned around the leave trying not to look at him in front of her, but Sirius grabbed her hand to stop her.
"Electra..." Sirius started.
"I'm going back to my room, and then I'm going to see Remus." Electra told him pulling her hand out of his.
She stole one look at Severus as she was leaving but he saw it, he stared after her until he couldn't see her any more and then he turned back to Sirius who was watching him.
"Well what do you say now?" Severus asked him.
"I think you've finally lost it." Sirius told him.
"We'll see who lost what." Severus told him.
***
Electra never went to see Remus, she couldn't face him either not after last night with everything she had done; instead she went for a walk through the grounds alone. She was trying to rain again when she felt someone behind her, at first she thought that it was Remus coming to check on her, but when she turned round it was the last person she wanted to see.
"You know, I'm not sure if he believed me completely." Severus told her.
Electra stepped forward and slapped him across the face, she went to do it again but he stopped her and pulled her into him.
"How dare you." Electra hissed at him. "You had no right."
"Really?" Severus asked her in a silkily voice.
Electra looked away from him as he held her. "Why, what do you want?"
He let go of her left arm and softly turned her face to look at him. "I would have thought that was obvious wouldn't you?"
"I can't, it was wrong...what we did...it should have never happened." Electra told him, but she never pulled away from him. "Just forget that it ever happened."
"I can't forget about it, and I doubt that you will be able to as well." Severus told her, looking at her like he had done the day before.
She pulled away from him and started to walk away from him, not wanting to look into those eyes what made her give into him yesterday; but he followed her.
"You think too much of yourself." Electra told him over her shoulder but never looked back at him.
He started to walk faster and grabbed hold of her making her stop and turns her round to face him again.
"Then why are you running away from me?" Severus asked her, she shack her head and tried to pull herself free of his grip but he wasn't letting her go this time. "Running away from me, only proves that you wanted it but just don't want to admit to it."
Electra wasn't completely listening to what he was saying, she was still trying to get away from him, but he let go of her suddenly making her fall backwards, she grabbed hold of him to stop herself from falling but brought him down on top of her.
Electra tried not to look up at him, but it was kind of hard considering that he was laying on top of her; with her heart beating in her chest as though it was ready to explored. She was sure that he could hear it as well considering how close he was to her; she could feel him so warm to close pressing down on her.
He lent forward to kiss her, she closed her eyes as he came closer, but just before his lips touched hers she opened her eyes again and pushed him off of her rolling on top of him. She tried to get up but he pulled her back down into him, but she struggled against him, he sat up with her in his lap; she turned round and looked at him and just gave in to him and fell into his arms resting her head onto his shoulder.
"Please don't." Electra whispered.
"Don't what?" Severus asked her.
"You know what...I'm married Severus, I'm married to Sirius." Electra tried to explain. "Please just leave me alone."
"I would, but I can't." Severus told her. "And I don't think that even you do really."
Electra looked up at him. "I do...I'm sorry for what I did...I...just forget it, forget me...I'm with Sirius and I love him."
"Then why did you let me take you, why did we..." Severus started but Electra interrupted him.
"It was just a moment of weakness; it was nothing it was just sex." Electra told him trying to stand up but he pulled her back down.
"I don't believe you, and I doubt that Sirius would as well." Severus told her, she turned away from him but he turned her back round to face him. "I want you tell me that it meant nothing, tell me...look me in the eye and tell me it meant nothing."
Electra swallowed hard and then looked up into those eyes of his, they were showing so much feeling, more then she had ever seen before from him; all of his hope as he waited for her to answer him.
"It meant nothing." Electra told him quickly, he tighten his grip on her as tears fretted to fall but she kept them back and then he just let go of her, as though he had lost all the will power in him. Electra looked at him but he wouldn't look at her, she quickly got to her feet and ran as the tears started to fall; he heard her briefly crying but he never went after her.
(A/N: hi I'm making up for lost time with all these chapter's because after today I don't know how long it'll be until I can post again; so I hope that you enjoyed. And I'm glad that you liked the last chapters, just a little twist in the story, well that was if you didn't already suspect something like that which I know that you did Sweet Lory Black; I think that Sirius reacted a little better in this chapter but he still doesn't really get it or maybe he just doesn't want to believe it. Anyway if you want to find out what happens you have to read on when I post again.
I've got a couple more twists and surprises up my sleeve, even though I haven't really git sleeves on today but you know what I mean.
Sorry to Greek Witch that you didn't like the whole Electra Severus thing, but Severus does have to have a bit of happiness sometime or another doesn't he; anyway there won't be anymore of that; for a while. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story though.)
