Chapter 6: Closet Trouble
Morgan woke up earlier because of her bad dream. She shuddered at the
thought of it. She felt very uncomfortable about the relationships that
happened the last few days. She was very happy that Jeannie had finally
made a move on her crush, Jeremy. But the thing that was really bothering
her was how everyone was against Remus. Yes, this would make it harder for
her, Morgan the matchmaker, to get Lily and James together but it's just
wrong for everyone to turn against Remus. All Remus was doing was showing
Lily his feelings for her...what they were doing was wrong. Morgan decided
on apologizing to Remus.
Morgan crawled out of bed and wrapped her bright yellow silk bathrobe
around her and put on her slippers. She walked down the hallway into
Jeannie and Lily's room. A smile crept on Morgan's face. She took a run
towards Jeannie's bed. Morgan jumped up into the air and landed on
Jeannie's sleeping body.
"UUUUGH!" Jeannie moaned, "Geroff me!"
"NO!" Morgan said stubbornly, "We have to talk, SO WAKE UP"
"Fine!" Jeannie said, and pushed Morgan on to the floor.
"Oww..." Morgan giggled, rubbing her behind.
"Aren't you going to wake up, Lily?" Jeannie asked, kind of mad because
Morgan woke her up first.
"Yup!" Morgan squealed gleefully as she made a run towards Lily's bed.
She jumped high into the air but missed the bed entirely. Morgan totally
soared passed the bed and was smacked into the wall.
"Ok, that REALLY hurt," Morgan whimpered.
"What's all the noise?" Lily asked from under her blanket.
"Ummm....nothing, we need to talk," Morgan said, a little
embarrassed. There was a noise behind them.
"Can you guys just shut up?" said a sleepy James. He was standing behind
them, his hair was messier than normal and he wasn't wearing his glasses.
"No, that's not possible, we need to talk, it's really important," Morgan
said and grabbed James. James pulled up a chair and sat in between the 2
beds.
"Did I hear you were going to talk about something important, without me?"
Sirius said, from behind the group.
"Actually, I was going to go get you," Morgan said, "Now sit like a good
little boy so I can talk!"
Sirius obeyed and sat down on Lily's bed. Lily groaned and pulled the
blankets out of her face and sat up properly.
"I'm guessing you're not a morning person?" James smirked as he saw Lily's
face.
"I wouldn't talk," Lily snapped back.
"Calm yourselves," Morgan said, a hand on her hip, "This is really
important and I need to talk to you."
"Ok, talk away," Sirius said.
"OK! I feel that we have all mistreated Remus in some sort of way. I
really don't think that we should be mad at him when he only expressed his
feelings towards Lily. It's not fair to him and this isn't something we
should lose a friendship over--"
"Morgs?" James asked.
"Hmmm?"
"Well, yesterday, I already apologized to Remus. But then he almost kissed
Lily and I punched him...then I almost attacked him again. Does this mean
I have to apologize again?" James yawned.
"YES! What kind of question is that? Of course you have to! Anyways, I
just want everyone to apologize to him throughout the day. Don't do it all
at once, it's a little suspicious," Morgan finished.
"Why do I have to apologize to him?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"He should apologize to me!" These were the protests that rang in Morgan's
ears.
"Sirius, you have to apologize for making the stupidest dare ever and tell
Remus how you almost ruined his relationships with, like, EVERYONE! James,
like I told you before, you have to apologize for punching and yelling at
Remus. You may still be angry but you have been friends for a long time
and you can't let a girl get in between you! Jeannie, you have to
apologize for attacking Remus yesterday, that was so unlike you! And Lily,
I know he should apologize to you, but all I'm asking is for you to talk to
Remus..." Morgan said, out of breath.
"Question!" Sirius said and waving his hand in the air like a schoolboy.
"Yes?" Morgan asked.
"Why don't you or Jeremy have to apologize?"
"Well, Jeremy didn't do anything and I am going to apologize to him for
being angry."
"OK...can we go back to bed now?" said a yawning James.
"Yes, I need to get my beauty sleep!" Lily agreed.
"Yes, but did I just hear Lily agreeing with a certain Mister Potter?"
Morgan smirked.
"Ya, so?" Lily said defensively and throwing a pillow at Morgan. Lily
pulled the covers over her head and fell back asleep.
"Can you guys leave? I'm tired!" Jeannie groaned at the remaining group of
people.
"Ya, I'm going back to bed!" James said and walked out of the room.
"I'm not tired...I think I'm going to get something to eat. Care to join
me?" Sirius asked Morgan, the only other person who wasn't asleep or tired.
"My pleasure!" Morgan grinned. Together, they made their way down to the
kitchen.
*Later that morning*
Jeannie woke up later that morning, still a bit tired from waking up
earlier.
She slightly opened her eyes. She looked around, closed her eyes, then
opened her eyes wide at what she had just seen. There, over near Lily's
bed was James. He was sleeping on the floor.
Jeannie got out of bed and went over to James.
Luckily, Lily was still asleep so she probably didn't know about
James. She would probably freak out about James if she knew. Jeannie had
to move James or at least get him to wake up before Lily did.
"James." She whispered, poking him in his side. James didn't move.
"James!" she said a bit louder, poking him a couple more times. James
still didn't move.
Jeannie bent down close to his ear and yelled. "JAMES!!" James jumped as he
woke up.
"Ow! Why'd you do that?!" asked James covering his ears.
"Because you're in my room! Not in yours. What are you doing in here?"
James looked around. "So I am. I don't know why I'm in here though, I just
am."
Jeannie frowned. "How do I know you're not lying to me?"
"Why would I? It's not like you don't know that I like Lily." Replied James
getting up. He still didn't have his glasses on and his hair was pretty
messy.
"True." Jeannie said. "Well you better leave before Lily wakes up, and when
you go clean your hair up."
"Your one to talk. Have you looked in a mirror lately? And why should I
leave? If you're still here it'll just look like I'm talking to you."
"Fine then stay but I'm leaving." Said Jeannie walking towards the door.
"Well I'm coming!" replied James.
"If you are then you have to help me do something." Jeannie turned to face
James.
"What exactly do I have to do?" he asked.
"Something." Jeannie walked out the door, James trying to get an answer out
of Jeannie.
*Morgan*
Morgan started to walk back to her room, but was to egar to talk to Remus
that she turned around and walked back down to the hallway. She knocked on
the door.
"Remus? It's me, Morgan," there was no reply. She quietly creaked open
the door, to see if he was just ignoring her. He was. Remus was sitting
by the window, looking outside.
"Remus?" Morgan said, walking closer to him.
"Yes," he said.
"Ummm...I just wanted to apologize to you." She said, "I'm sorry that I got
mad at you. There was no reason I should have been angry with you, you
didn't do anything wrong. Can you forgive me?"
"Of course I can! I'm just so glad not everyone is mad at me!" Remus
said, walking towards Morgan.
"Great!" Morgan said, she hugged Remus," I'm going back to bed. See you
later!"
"Bye," Remus said, happier than before. Morgan walked out of the room and
into her room. But there was someone already in there...
"James! What are you doing in here?" asked Morgan. James was sitting on
her bed with a worried expression on his face.
"Well, I need to show you something." Said James getting up.
"What? Is something wrong?" asked Morgan getting worried herself.
"I don't know if you're going to like this Morgan." James walking closer to
her.
"What?!" asked Morgan again.
James didn't answer, he just kept walking closer. He grabbed her arm and
lead her beside her closet.
"It's in here." Said James, pointing at the door.
Morgan cautiously looked at the door.
"There?"
"Yes, in there." Replied James.
Morgan slowly opened the door. She peeked inside. She couldn't see
anything that seemed to wrong.
"Huh-?" Morgan started too asked but she was suddenly pushed into the room.
Behind her she heard the door close shut and lock.
"JAMES! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?" she screamed, pounding on the door.
"LET ME OUT!" there was no reply.
'I'll just blow open the door then with my wand!' Morgan thought. She
reached for her wand but it wasn't there.
"JAMES!"
*Sirius*
Sirius sat on the kitchen counter eating a piece of toast. He looked
around. He was the only one in the kitchen. Morgan had just left. They
had eaten together. It was a pretty big kitchen.
'I wonder if they have any candy in here.' Sirius thought. He looked
around to make sure he was the only one there and, seeing he was the only
one, went to the cupboards and started searching.
"Sirius!"
Sirius jumped. He turned around.
"I didn't do anything!" he said defensively.
Jeannie just looked at him and frowned. She shook her head then said.
"Guess what?! It's so exciting! I have to show you!"
"Show me what?" asked Sirius, getting excited.
"Come on! I'll show you!" Jeannie grabbed his arm and lead him through the
kitchen.
"You'll love it!" said Jeannie as she stopped outside a door.
"What is it?" asked Sirius.
"Go on and see!" replied Jeannie, pushing Sirius towards the door.
Sirius flung open the door and ran in. He didn't see anything exciting. He
turned around to see the door shutting and Jeannie wink.
"Jeannie?" he asked, walking towards the door. He tried to open it but it
wouldn't budge.
"JEANNIE! OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW!"
"I'LL OPEN IT WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT!" replied Jeannie. "HAVE FUN!"
Sirius reached into his back pocket for his wand fuming. HE was going to
kill Jeannie when he got out. Instead of a wand, he found a piece of
licorice.
Before Sirius could do anything irrational, he heard a voice.
"Sirius?"
He spun around to find Morgan there looking confused.
Ummm....why did they lock us in here?" Morgan asked, innocently.
"Why do you think?" Sirius smirked, sitting down beside Morgan.
"Don't get any ideas!" Morgan said, and punching Sirius playfully in the
arm.
"Well, I'm not to sure. It is the Potters, you know," Sirius laughed as he
rubbed his arm.
"Whatever, what are we going to do? I don't want to be locked in here all
day!" Morgan asked.
"I know one thing we can do," Sirius smirked again.
"Get those filthy thoughts out of your head, Mr. Black! Your not doing
anything with me!" Morgan said, stubbornly.
"Only joking," Sirius said, trying to be serious.
"You know, we should really create a plan," Morgan said, changing the
subject.
"For what?"
"Well, two things, really. Whiles were in here, we could plan how to seek
revenge on James and Jeannie. OR make a plan to get Lily and James
together," Morgan said, dully.
"Hmmm...Either sounds good!" Sirius said.
"Both then?" Morgan asked.
"Yes, both. Where do we start?" Sirius wondered.
"Lily and James." She said simply, "We have to find a way to show Lily that
James' has deflated his head. Any ideas?"
"Hmmm...We should show James' caring side. Girls like that. Don't they?"
Sirius asked as he saw the look on Morgan's face.
"Most of the time, yes," Morgan laughed.
"How do we do this?" Sirius asked.
"Maybe we should show James helping a group of dieing kittens?" Sirius
joked.
"I don't think so..." Morgan giggled, "How 'bout we get James to help
someone?"
"How so?"
"Well, we could get a younger Gryffindor...a girl...maybe first year...ask
her to stage an accident or problem. James, being the hero that he is,
will go save the girl. Lily should obviously be there, and then she'll
realize that James isn't full of himself and that he cares for other
people. How 'bout that?" Morgan suggested.
"Perfect. The accident should do with Quiddich and flying. James will
definitely save the first year," Sirius said.
"When should we do it?" Morgan asked, making mental notes in her head.
"Within the first 2 weeks of school. That way, we can make friends with
the first years...find our actor, or actress who will stage the accident,"
Sirius said.
"Great. Well, now that that's done, what do we do about revenge of Jeannie
and James?" Morgan laughed.
"I don't know...I really don't think we should seek revenge," Sirius said.
"Why is that?" Morgan asked curiously.
"Because, I like being locked in a closet with you!" Sirius said.
"And why is that?" Morgan asked again, trying to hold her smile.
"You do like to ask questions, don't you?" Sirius said.
"Don't change the subject!" Morgan laughed.
"And why is that?" Sirius said, trying to avoid the question.
"'Cause I want to know. Stop mimicking me! Answer the question; why do you
like being locked in a closet with me?"
"I don't think I can tell you that!" Sirius said.
"And why is that?" Morgan said, purposely using the same phrase.
"Because I might make you blush!" Sirius said truthfully.
"Well, it's dark in here...you can't see me, so how do you know I'll
blush? Tell me!" Morgan said playfully. Sirius leaned in closer.
"This might answer you question," Sirius said. Morgan could feel his
breath now. He was too close and getting closer. Sirius' hand wrapped
around Morgan's waist. She didn't know what to do or think. Morgan wasn't
sure if this is what she wanted, if Sirius' was what she wanted. Too many
emotions were flooding through her body. She reached past Sirius' body, and
grabbed the Secret Passageway's doorknob.
'Why didn't I think of this before?' she asked herself. In a flash, she
pushed open the passage's door and flung herself past a clueless Sirius and
into the passageway. She slammed the tiny door shut and locked it. The
emotions were flooding through her body. Tears were rolling down her
flushed cheeks. She leaned against the locked door.
'Was this the right choice?' Morgan asked herself, it was too
overwhelming. She needed to talk to Lily. Lily would know what to do, she
always did. Jeannie wouldn't understand, she was in a relationship.
"Morgan...?" Sirius whispered through the closed door. She couldn't handle
it. Morgan stood up and walked down through the passageway, snuck out of
Kelsey's room and tried to find Lily.
She ran through the corridors frantically looking for Lily. She finally
found her in the kitchen eating a chocolate bar.
"Hey Morg...what's wrong?" lily said noticing Morgan's tear-streaked face.
Lily got up and walked towards her, a frown on her face.
Morgan's eyes were starting to fill with tears again.
"I have to talk to you. Alone."
"What's wrong?" Lily asked getting worried.
"I'll tell you when we can't be heard." Replied Morgan.
"Okay, how 'bout we go to your room?"
"No!" exclaimed Morgan.
"Why not?" asked Lily. What was so wrong with Morgan's room?
"'Cause Sirius is in there." Morgan muttered.
"What?! Why?"
"I'll tell you when we go somewhere else." Morgan replied, dragging Lily
outside in the direction of the tree house.
"Okay." Replied Lily. She wanted to know more but she knew Morgan and when
she didn't want to tell you something, nothing would make her tell you.
Morgan climbed up to the tree house, closely followed by Lily. Morgan sat
down on the small couch. Lily looked at her questionably but sat down
beside the now-sobbing Morgan.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked. Morgan took a long sigh.
"I don't know where to start," Morgan said truthfully.
"At the beginning would help!" Lily said, trying to cheer Morgan up.
Morgan laughed but then just cried even harder.
"Well after I talked to you, I went to eat breakfast, with Sir--" Morgan
began, but couldn't finish saying his name.
"Sirius?" Lily asked. Morgan nodded, "And? What happened?"
"Well after I ate with, him, I went upstairs. James was there--"
"What has he done this time?" Lily asked, trying to stay calm. Morgan
sniffled.
"He locked me in my closet. I kept yelling at him, but he didn't answer...I
tried to get out, but I had no wand! Then, then..."
"Yes?"
"Then Sir-sir-...sir-"
"Sirius?" asked Lily.
Morgan nodded. "He came in too. Jeannie she pushed him in. They wanted us
to do stuff! AHHHH!" Morgan started crying even harder.
"Stuff? What kind of stuff?" asked Lily.
"Like... snog."
"WHAT?!" Lily said, confused.
"Ya, and I like Sirius and all, but I dunno..." Morgan said.
"YOU like Sirius?" Lily asked.
"Maybe," Morgan said sheepishly.
"Continue," Lily said, trying to stay calm by the news.
"Well, we were in there and were making pla--" Morgan cut herself off, not
wanting Lily to know that Sirius and her were trying to get James and Lily
together, "--plans to get James and Jeannie back for locking us in the
closet. He, well Siri--, he came on to me."
"What happened? How did u get out of the closet?" Lily asked.
"I umm...you know that secret passageway that we used when we were running
away from him because you stole his clothes?"
"Yes," Lily said, having an idea to where this was going.
"I, umm...I kind of left him in the closet when I ran through the passageway,
into Kelsey's room," Morgan finally said, sniffling and staring at the
wall. Lily patted her on the back. "You left him there?"
"Ya, I locked him out of the passage. He can't get out, unless Jeannie or
James lets him out." Morgan muttered.
"So is that why you didn't want to talk in your room?" Lily wondered.
"Ya..." Morgan whispered.
"Why?"
"Why, what?" Morgan pondered.
"Why did you not want to kiss Sirius? I thought you liked him," Lily asked,
trying not to sound pushy.
"I don't know, it's just that I'm not sure if this is really what I want,"
Morgan said, a tear rolling down her cheek, "I want Sirius, but I don't. I
don't want to be heart broken; he's just going to leave me for someone
else."
"You don't know that, Morgan. You won't know until your with him," Lily
tried to explain, "Life is full of unexpecting things, nobody know what
will happen next. You can't plan your whole life."
"I'm not planning, I'm protecting myself!" Morgan argued.
"From what? Sirius?"
"Of course Sirius!" Morgan said desperately.
"How do you know Sirius will hurt you?"
"I just know. Why don't you ask every girl at school who claimed Sirius
loved them then dumped them! I'm just protecting my self from being hurt!"
Morgan said, starting to get angry.
"Don't get angry Morgan! I'm just trying to tell you not to judge Sirius;
you don't know he will leave you. You're not even together yet! Just give
him a chance!" Lily said, desperately.
"I can't do that!" Morgan said stubbornly.
"You have to! You can't ignore him forever!"
"Says who?"
*Sirius*
"Morgan...?" Sirius whispered as she ran through a little door and shut and
locked it.
Sirius tried to open the little door but it was locked.
"Morgan?" he said again. He sat down and ran his fingers through his hair.
"I'm sorry." He whispered to the door as if Morgan could hear him.
'I went too far.' He thought. 'I don't even know why I did that. Wait, I
do know.'
Sirius just sat on the floor, thinking, until someone opened the door.
"So how are you two..." Jeannie was grinning as she opened the door but her
grin faded as she noticed Sirius on the floor. Only Sirius.
"Where's Morgan?" she asked.
"I dunno." Replied Sirius, not looking at Jeannie. "Why'd you lock me in
this bloody closet?"
"What?!" asked Jeannie thinking. "Damn! I forgot the secret door!" she
muttered.
"I mean, I was stuck in this bloody closet with no one." Sirius continued,
ignoring Jeannie. "Why? Why did I have to get stuck in this bloody closet
with Morgan? Of course I can't resist when we're only inches apart. Stupid
hormones."
"Wait! Resist what?" asked Jeannie.
"Why are you asking me? You bloody well know what! That's why I got stuck
in here with her."
"Well? What happened?" asked Jeannie, eager to know whether her plan had
succeeded.
"She left. Before I could kiss her." Sirius said flatly. He got up and
walked towards Jeannie. "Next time, stay out of my business." With that he
started to walk out of Morgan's room as Jeannie said, "I was just trying to
help!"
"Well don't!" he retorted, leaving the room.
Jeannie sat down on Morgan's bed and looked down at her hands. She sighed.
"I am so stupid." She lay down on Morgan's bed and stared at the ceiling,
not really seeing it.
Sirius walked down the hallway. At the same moment, James was jogging up
the stairs. They bumped into each other.
"Sirius?!" James asked, "What are you doing here?" Sirius ignored James and
kept walking.
"Padfoot? What happened?" James said, trying to make contact, with no
success. Sirius just continued walking, his head facing the floor.
Confused, James walked into Morgan's room, trying to find answers. All he
found was Jeannie, an empty closet and no sign of Morgan.
"What happened?" James asked.
"Nothing really." Jeannie replied flatly, staring at the ceiling. "Except I
think I hurt Morgan and Sirius now hates me but nothing else."
"What?! Why?" asked James, more confused than ever.
"Ya, that's about it." Replied Jeannie.
"Explain please." Said James, sitting down beside Jeannie.
"Ya well, you see, Sirius made a move on Morgan."
"What's so bad about that?" James pondered, "That's what is supposed to
happen!"
"That's not all, you prat!" Jeannie continued, "Morgan some how escaped
through the secret passageway, that I totally forgot was there, right
before Sirius kissed her."
"Why would she do that?"
"I don't know! She probably panicked!" Jeannie insisted, "So this means
that Morgan and Sirius are mad at me, and I probably ruined their future
for a relationship! Yay me!"
"You don't know that!" James said, "You really can't know anything, unless
it happens!"
"Stop giving me nonsense advice!" Jeannie said frustrated.
"Well how can we fix this then?" asked James.
"I don't know if we can." Replied Jeannie grimly, a single tear falling
down her cheek.

Chapter 6: Closet Trouble
Morgan woke up earlier because of her bad dream. She shuddered at the

Morgan crawled out of bed and wrapped her bright yellow silk bathrobe

Jeannie and Lily's room. A smile crept on Morgan's face. She took a run
towards Jeannie's bed. Morgan jumped up into the air and landed on
Jeannie's sleeping body.
"UUUUGH!" Jeannie moaned, "Geroff me!"
"NO!" Morgan said stubbornly, "We have to talk, SO WAKE UP"
"Fine!" Jeannie said, and pushed Morgan on to the floor.
"Oww..." Morgan giggled, rubbing her behind.
"Aren't you going to wake up, Lily?" Jeannie asked, kind of mad because
Morgan woke her up first.
"Yup!" Morgan squealed gleefully as she made a run towards Lily's bed.
She jumped high into the air but missed the bed entirely. Morgan totally

"Ok, that REALLY hurt," Morgan whimpered.

"No, that's not possible, we need to talk, it's really important," Morgan
said and grabbed James. James pulled up a chair and sat in between the 2
beds.
"Did I hear you were going to talk about something important, without me?"
Sirius said, from behind the group.
"Actually, I was going to go get you," Morgan said, "Now sit like a good

Sirius obeyed and sat down on Lily's bed. Lily groaned and pulled the
blankets out of her face and sat up properly.
"I'm guessing you're not a morning person?" James smirked as he saw Lily's
face.
"I wouldn't talk," Lily snapped back.
"Calm yourselves," Morgan said, a hand on her hip, "This is really
important and I need to talk to you."
"Ok, talk away," Sirius said.
"OK! I feel that we have all mistreated Remus in some sort of way. I
really don't think that we should be mad at him when he only expressed his
feelings towards Lily. It's not fair to him and this isn't something we
should lose a friendship over--"
"Morgs?" James asked.
"Hmmm?"
"Well, yesterday, I already apologized to Remus. But then he almost kissed

"YES! What kind of question is that? Of course you have to! Anyways, I

"Well, Jeremy didn't do anything and I am going to apologize to him for

"OK...can we go back to bed now?" said a yawning James.
"Yes, I need to get my beauty sleep!" Lily agreed.
"Yes, but did I just hear Lily agreeing with a certain Mister Potter?"
Morgan smirked.
"Ya, so?" Lily said defensively and throwing a pillow at Morgan. Lily
pulled the covers over her head and fell back asleep.
"Can you guys leave? I'm tired!" Jeannie groaned at the remaining group of
people.
"Ya, I'm going back to bed!" James said and walked out of the room.
"I'm not tired...I think I'm going to get something to eat. Care to join
me?" Sirius asked Morgan, the only other person who wasn't asleep or tired.
"My pleasure!" Morgan grinned. Together, they made their way down to the
kitchen.
*Later that morning*
Jeannie woke up later that morning, still a bit tired from waking up
earlier.
She slightly opened her eyes. She looked around, closed her eyes, then
opened her eyes wide at what she had just seen. There, over near Lily's
bed was James. He was sleeping on the floor.
Jeannie got out of bed and went over to James.
Luckily, Lily was still asleep so she probably didn't know about
James. She would probably freak out about James if she knew. Jeannie had
to move James or at least get him to wake up before Lily did.
"James." She whispered, poking him in his side. James didn't move.
"James!" she said a bit louder, poking him a couple more times. James
still didn't move.
Jeannie bent down close to his ear and yelled. "JAMES!!" James jumped as he
woke up.
"Ow! Why'd you do that?!" asked James covering his ears.
"Because you're in my room! Not in yours. What are you doing in here?"
James looked around. "So I am. I don't know why I'm in here though, I just
am."
Jeannie frowned. "How do I know you're not lying to me?"
"Why would I? It's not like you don't know that I like Lily." Replied James
getting up. He still didn't have his glasses on and his hair was pretty
messy.
"True." Jeannie said. "Well you better leave before Lily wakes up, and when
you go clean your hair up."
"Your one to talk. Have you looked in a mirror lately? And why should I
leave? If you're still here it'll just look like I'm talking to you."
"Fine then stay but I'm leaving." Said Jeannie walking towards the door.
"Well I'm coming!" replied James.
"If you are then you have to help me do something." Jeannie turned to face
James.
"What exactly do I have to do?" he asked.
"Something." Jeannie walked out the door, James trying to get an answer out
of Jeannie.
*Morgan*
Morgan started to walk back to her room, but was to egar to talk to Remus
that she turned around and walked back down to the hallway. She knocked on
the door.
"Remus? It's me, Morgan," there was no reply. She quietly creaked open
the door, to see if he was just ignoring her. He was. Remus was sitting
by the window, looking outside.
"Remus?" Morgan said, walking closer to him.
"Yes," he said.
"Ummm...I just wanted to apologize to you." She said, "I'm sorry that I got
mad at you. There was no reason I should have been angry with you, you
didn't do anything wrong. Can you forgive me?"
"Of course I can! I'm just so glad not everyone is mad at me!" Remus
said, walking towards Morgan.
"Great!" Morgan said, she hugged Remus," I'm going back to bed. See you
later!"
"Bye," Remus said, happier than before. Morgan walked out of the room and
into her room. But there was someone already in there...
"James! What are you doing in here?" asked Morgan. James was sitting on
her bed with a worried expression on his face.
"Well, I need to show you something." Said James getting up.
"What? Is something wrong?" asked Morgan getting worried herself.
"I don't know if you're going to like this Morgan." James walking closer to
her.
"What?!" asked Morgan again.
James didn't answer, he just kept walking closer. He grabbed her arm and
lead her beside her closet.
"It's in here." Said James, pointing at the door.
Morgan cautiously looked at the door.
"There?"
"Yes, in there." Replied James.
Morgan slowly opened the door. She peeked inside. She couldn't see
anything that seemed to wrong.
"Huh-?" Morgan started too asked but she was suddenly pushed into the room.
Behind her she heard the door close shut and lock.
"JAMES! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?" she screamed, pounding on the door.
"LET ME OUT!" there was no reply.
'I'll just blow open the door then with my wand!' Morgan thought. She
reached for her wand but it wasn't there.
"JAMES!"
*Sirius*
Sirius sat on the kitchen counter eating a piece of toast. He looked
around. He was the only one in the kitchen. Morgan had just left. They
had eaten together. It was a pretty big kitchen.
'I wonder if they have any candy in here.' Sirius thought. He looked
around to make sure he was the only one there and, seeing he was the only
one, went to the cupboards and started searching.
"Sirius!"
Sirius jumped. He turned around.
"I didn't do anything!" he said defensively.
Jeannie just looked at him and frowned. She shook her head then said.
"Guess what?! It's so exciting! I have to show you!"
"Show me what?" asked Sirius, getting excited.
"Come on! I'll show you!" Jeannie grabbed his arm and lead him through the
kitchen.
"You'll love it!" said Jeannie as she stopped outside a door.
"What is it?" asked Sirius.
"Go on and see!" replied Jeannie, pushing Sirius towards the door.
Sirius flung open the door and ran in. He didn't see anything exciting. He
turned around to see the door shutting and Jeannie wink.
"Jeannie?" he asked, walking towards the door. He tried to open it but it
wouldn't budge.
"JEANNIE! OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW!"
"I'LL OPEN IT WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT!" replied Jeannie. "HAVE FUN!"
Sirius reached into his back pocket for his wand fuming. HE was going to
kill Jeannie when he got out. Instead of a wand, he found a piece of
licorice.
Before Sirius could do anything irrational, he heard a voice.
"Sirius?"
He spun around to find Morgan there looking confused.
Ummm....why did they lock us in here?" Morgan asked, innocently.
"Why do you think?" Sirius smirked, sitting down beside Morgan.
"Don't get any ideas!" Morgan said, and punching Sirius playfully in the
arm.
"Well, I'm not to sure. It is the Potters, you know," Sirius laughed as he
rubbed his arm.
"Whatever, what are we going to do? I don't want to be locked in here all
day!" Morgan asked.
"I know one thing we can do," Sirius smirked again.
"Get those filthy thoughts out of your head, Mr. Black! Your not doing
anything with me!" Morgan said, stubbornly.
"Only joking," Sirius said, trying to be serious.
"You know, we should really create a plan," Morgan said, changing the
subject.
"For what?"
"Well, two things, really. Whiles were in here, we could plan how to seek
revenge on James and Jeannie. OR make a plan to get Lily and James
together," Morgan said, dully.
"Hmmm...Either sounds good!" Sirius said.
"Both then?" Morgan asked.
"Yes, both. Where do we start?" Sirius wondered.
"Lily and James." She said simply, "We have to find a way to show Lily that
James' has deflated his head. Any ideas?"
"Hmmm...We should show James' caring side. Girls like that. Don't they?"
Sirius asked as he saw the look on Morgan's face.
"Most of the time, yes," Morgan laughed.
"How do we do this?" Sirius asked.
"Maybe we should show James helping a group of dieing kittens?" Sirius
joked.
"I don't think so..." Morgan giggled, "How 'bout we get James to help
someone?"
"How so?"
"Well, we could get a younger Gryffindor...a girl...maybe first year...ask
her to stage an accident or problem. James, being the hero that he is,
will go save the girl. Lily should obviously be there, and then she'll
realize that James isn't full of himself and that he cares for other
people. How 'bout that?" Morgan suggested.
"Perfect. The accident should do with Quiddich and flying. James will
definitely save the first year," Sirius said.
"When should we do it?" Morgan asked, making mental notes in her head.
"Within the first 2 weeks of school. That way, we can make friends with
the first years...find our actor, or actress who will stage the accident,"
Sirius said.
"Great. Well, now that that's done, what do we do about revenge of Jeannie
and James?" Morgan laughed.
"I don't know...I really don't think we should seek revenge," Sirius said.
"Why is that?" Morgan asked curiously.
"Because, I like being locked in a closet with you!" Sirius said.
"And why is that?" Morgan asked again, trying to hold her smile.
"You do like to ask questions, don't you?" Sirius said.
"Don't change the subject!" Morgan laughed.
"And why is that?" Sirius said, trying to avoid the question.
"'Cause I want to know. Stop mimicking me! Answer the question; why do you
like being locked in a closet with me?"
"I don't think I can tell you that!" Sirius said.
"And why is that?" Morgan said, purposely using the same phrase.
"Because I might make you blush!" Sirius said truthfully.
"Well, it's dark in here...you can't see me, so how do you know I'll
blush? Tell me!" Morgan said playfully. Sirius leaned in closer.
"This might answer you question," Sirius said. Morgan could feel his
breath now. He was too close and getting closer. Sirius' hand wrapped
around Morgan's waist. She didn't know what to do or think. Morgan wasn't
sure if this is what she wanted, if Sirius' was what she wanted. Too many
emotions were flooding through her body. She reached past Sirius' body, and
grabbed the Secret Passageway's doorknob.
'Why didn't I think of this before?' she asked herself. In a flash, she
pushed open the passage's door and flung herself past a clueless Sirius and
into the passageway. She slammed the tiny door shut and locked it. The
emotions were flooding through her body. Tears were rolling down her
flushed cheeks. She leaned against the locked door.
'Was this the right choice?' Morgan asked herself, it was too
overwhelming. She needed to talk to Lily. Lily would know what to do, she
always did. Jeannie wouldn't understand, she was in a relationship.
"Morgan...?" Sirius whispered through the closed door. She couldn't handle
it. Morgan stood up and walked down through the passageway, snuck out of
Kelsey's room and tried to find Lily.
She ran through the corridors frantically looking for Lily. She finally
found her in the kitchen eating a chocolate bar.
"Hey Morg...what's wrong?" lily said noticing Morgan's tear-streaked face.
Lily got up and walked towards her, a frown on her face.
Morgan's eyes were starting to fill with tears again.
"I have to talk to you. Alone."
"What's wrong?" Lily asked getting worried.
"I'll tell you when we can't be heard." Replied Morgan.
"Okay, how 'bout we go to your room?"
"No!" exclaimed Morgan.
"Why not?" asked Lily. What was so wrong with Morgan's room?
"'Cause Sirius is in there." Morgan muttered.
"What?! Why?"
"I'll tell you when we go somewhere else." Morgan replied, dragging Lily
outside in the direction of the tree house.
"Okay." Replied Lily. She wanted to know more but she knew Morgan and when
she didn't want to tell you something, nothing would make her tell you.
Morgan climbed up to the tree house, closely followed by Lily. Morgan sat
down on the small couch. Lily looked at her questionably but sat down
beside the now-sobbing Morgan.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked. Morgan took a long sigh.
"I don't know where to start," Morgan said truthfully.
"At the beginning would help!" Lily said, trying to cheer Morgan up.
Morgan laughed but then just cried even harder.
"Well after I talked to you, I went to eat breakfast, with Sir--" Morgan
began, but couldn't finish saying his name.
"Sirius?" Lily asked. Morgan nodded, "And? What happened?"
"Well after I ate with, him, I went upstairs. James was there--"
"What has he done this time?" Lily asked, trying to stay calm. Morgan
sniffled.
"He locked me in my closet. I kept yelling at him, but he didn't answer...I
tried to get out, but I had no wand! Then, then..."
"Yes?"
"Then Sir-sir-...sir-"
"Sirius?" asked Lily.
Morgan nodded. "He came in too. Jeannie she pushed him in. They wanted us
to do stuff! AHHHH!" Morgan started crying even harder.
"Stuff? What kind of stuff?" asked Lily.
"Like... snog."
"WHAT?!" Lily said, confused.
"Ya, and I like Sirius and all, but I dunno..." Morgan said.
"YOU like Sirius?" Lily asked.
"Maybe," Morgan said sheepishly.
"Continue," Lily said, trying to stay calm by the news.
"Well, we were in there and were making pla--" Morgan cut herself off, not
wanting Lily to know that Sirius and her were trying to get James and Lily
together, "--plans to get James and Jeannie back for locking us in the
closet. He, well Siri--, he came on to me."
"What happened? How did u get out of the closet?" Lily asked.
"I umm...you know that secret passageway that we used when we were running
away from him because you stole his clothes?"
"Yes," Lily said, having an idea to where this was going.
"I, umm...I kind of left him in the closet when I ran through the passageway,
into Kelsey's room," Morgan finally said, sniffling and staring at the
wall. Lily patted her on the back. "You left him there?"
"Ya, I locked him out of the passage. He can't get out, unless Jeannie or
James lets him out." Morgan muttered.
"So is that why you didn't want to talk in your room?" Lily wondered.
"Ya..." Morgan whispered.
"Why?"
"Why, what?" Morgan pondered.
"Why did you not want to kiss Sirius? I thought you liked him," Lily asked,
trying not to sound pushy.
"I don't know, it's just that I'm not sure if this is really what I want,"
Morgan said, a tear rolling down her cheek, "I want Sirius, but I don't. I
don't want to be heart broken; he's just going to leave me for someone
else."
"You don't know that, Morgan. You won't know until your with him," Lily
tried to explain, "Life is full of unexpecting things, nobody know what
will happen next. You can't plan your whole life."
"I'm not planning, I'm protecting myself!" Morgan argued.
"From what? Sirius?"
"Of course Sirius!" Morgan said desperately.
"How do you know Sirius will hurt you?"
"I just know. Why don't you ask every girl at school who claimed Sirius
loved them then dumped them! I'm just protecting my self from being hurt!"
Morgan said, starting to get angry.
"Don't get angry Morgan! I'm just trying to tell you not to judge Sirius;
you don't know he will leave you. You're not even together yet! Just give
him a chance!" Lily said, desperately.
"I can't do that!" Morgan said stubbornly.
"You have to! You can't ignore him forever!"
"Says who?"
*Sirius*
"Morgan...?" Sirius whispered as she ran through a little door and shut and
locked it.
Sirius tried to open the little door but it was locked.
"Morgan?" he said again. He sat down and ran his fingers through his hair.
"I'm sorry." He whispered to the door as if Morgan could hear him.
'I went too far.' He thought. 'I don't even know why I did that. Wait, I
do know.'
Sirius just sat on the floor, thinking, until someone opened the door.
"So how are you two..." Jeannie was grinning as she opened the door but her
grin faded as she noticed Sirius on the floor. Only Sirius.
"Where's Morgan?" she asked.
"I dunno." Replied Sirius, not looking at Jeannie. "Why'd you lock me in
this bloody closet?"
"What?!" asked Jeannie thinking. "Damn! I forgot the secret door!" she
muttered.
"I mean, I was stuck in this bloody closet with no one." Sirius continued,
ignoring Jeannie. "Why? Why did I have to get stuck in this bloody closet
with Morgan? Of course I can't resist when we're only inches apart. Stupid
hormones."
"Wait! Resist what?" asked Jeannie.
"Why are you asking me? You bloody well know what! That's why I got stuck
in here with her."
"Well? What happened?" asked Jeannie, eager to know whether her plan had
succeeded.
"She left. Before I could kiss her." Sirius said flatly. He got up and
walked towards Jeannie. "Next time, stay out of my business." With that he
started to walk out of Morgan's room as Jeannie said, "I was just trying to
help!"
"Well don't!" he retorted, leaving the room.
Jeannie sat down on Morgan's bed and looked down at her hands. She sighed.
"I am so stupid." She lay down on Morgan's bed and stared at the ceiling,
not really seeing it.
Sirius walked down the hallway. At the same moment, James was jogging up
the stairs. They bumped into each other.
"Sirius?!" James asked, "What are you doing here?" Sirius ignored James and
kept walking.
"Padfoot? What happened?" James said, trying to make contact, with no
success. Sirius just continued walking, his head facing the floor.
Confused, James walked into Morgan's room, trying to find answers. All he
found was Jeannie, an empty closet and no sign of Morgan.
"What happened?" James asked.
"Nothing really." Jeannie replied flatly, staring at the ceiling. "Except I
think I hurt Morgan and Sirius now hates me but nothing else."
"What?! Why?" asked James, more confused than ever.
"Ya, that's about it." Replied Jeannie.
"Explain please." Said James, sitting down beside Jeannie.
"Ya well, you see, Sirius made a move on Morgan."
"What's so bad about that?" James pondered, "That's what is supposed to
happen!"
"That's not all, you prat!" Jeannie continued, "Morgan some how escaped
through the secret passageway, that I totally forgot was there, right
before Sirius kissed her."
"Why would she do that?"
"I don't know! She probably panicked!" Jeannie insisted, "So this means
that Morgan and Sirius are mad at me, and I probably ruined their future
for a relationship! Yay me!"
"You don't know that!" James said, "You really can't know anything, unless
it happens!"
"Stop giving me nonsense advice!" Jeannie said frustrated.
"Well how can we fix this then?" asked James.
"I don't know if we can." Replied Jeannie grimly, a single tear falling
down her cheek.
