Chapter 19: Friends
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(A/N: Bree's POV)
I took off my invisibility cloak and threw it on the damp grass. I ran my hands threw my hair and sat down in front of the calm lake.
I know Lily's looking for me but I can't let her find me. I don't want to talk or see anyone ever again. I'll just stay here forever, yup, sounds good to me. Maybe I can transfigure myself into a mermaid and live in the lake for the rest of my life. Actually that's not a bad idea at all. I've always wanted fins and I'll get to stay at Hogwarts forever just like I've always wanted. Not to mention I won't have to work and I'll get to see that hot merman I saw last year while swimming...see in the end everybody wins.
I stood up and pulled out my wand, "Now what was that spell?"
"Now what spell could you possibly want to use in a time like this?"
I spun around and noticed one of the many people I was not in the mood to talk to, "What do you want, Potter?"
"I was in search of a friend."
"Yeah? Well your two-timer friend is probably off kissing another girl...again," I sat down and Potter sat down next to me.
"Bree, Padfoot didn't and wouldn't do that."
"How do you know? You weren't even there."
"Neither were you. Plus Padfoot is the most trusting guy I know. He's crazy about you. He has never dated the same girl for this long. You're all he talks about; you're all he cares about; you're all he thinks about. And he wouldn't throw all that away in one night."
I didn't even know how to respond. James is right, Sirius is trusting, "Do merpeople have to work?"
"Oh yeah, of course. I've seen them one day when I Moony and I were swimming," he replied.
"I see. Well, there goes that idea."
"Bree, I know you think I don't know anything," he broke the silence, "but I know everything."
I turned toward him questioningly.
"Katie got in a fight with Ricky earlier today over something completely stupid. She's really worried he will break up with her. I mean, I know Katie and if Ricky breaks up with her, her heart will shatter into a million pieces. Not to mention she isn't doing too well in Herbology and she's struggling to pass," he finished.
"Man, I'm a brat," I replied, "I feel so guilty and selfish. I completely overreacted." I buried my face in my hands, "I'm worse than a brat...I'm a bitch."
"It's alright. We all are at some point right?" James put his arm around me comfortingly, "You were scared you were going to loose Sirius."
"You know you're really good at this," I said referring to our talk.
"Yeah I know I am," he laughed.
"You know what," we stood up and I picked up my invisibility cloak, "I don't understand what Lily sees that is bad in you."
"I know. I don't understand either seeing that I am completely irresistible," he lightened the mood once again.
Before we left I took one last look into the lake and realized I loved Sirius. Not some school boy crush---love. Real, deep down, L-o-v-e. As in...
L is for the way you look at me
O if for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love
It's all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
*L-O-V-E by: Natalie Cole*
"Everything okay?" James asked me once we were ready to leave.
"Huh?"
"Are you convinced?"
"Yea."
~*~
(A/N: Lily's POV)
"Convinced?"
"NO!"
"Oiy Sirius, what aren't you convinced about?" I was in the kitchen with Sirius after a long search of trying to find Bree.
"I don't get it! Why would she think I cheated on her?" Sirius asked a house elf nearby for another butterbeer.
"Okay. Let's go over this one more time. One, she saw you with Katie. Two, you kissed and hugged Katie. Three, when your boyfriend is hugging and kissing another girl it usually means that their cheating! Four, Your reputation! You're known as a player all over school!"
"Let's go over the facts one more time. One, I was comforting Katie. Two, I wasn't cheating. Three, I'm not a player anymore. Four, I WASN'T CHEATING!" Sirius slid down the way and onto the floor.
"I know Sirius. But it is a possible thought. And Bree has been hurt many times in the past and she nor I want it to happen again!"
"I'm not going to hurt her! Everyone knows that!" Sirius said frustrated.
"I know. But c'mon Sirius move on. She was just afraid of loosing you," I replied.
"What am I supposed to do? If I go to talk to her she'll break my leg!"
"Yes she probably will but calm down," I stood in front of him, "Breathe," Sirius closed his eyes and breathed in and out, "Now, Sirius, Bree is an understanding and forgiving person. I'm sure if you talk to Bree-tomorrow- that she will understand. There is no way she could go for more than a day with out you. She would go insane, and so would you."
"Your right, Lil. Thanks so much," Sirius hugged me, "Now, let's talk about your love life."
"No Thanks my love life is just fine thank you very much," I led the way out of the kitchen and Sirius picked up James' invisibility cloak.
"Are you still dating that bimbo, Jacque?" he threw the cloak over both of us and quickly glanced down at an oddly familiar looking piece of paper before heading down the corridor.
"Hey, be nice that bimbo is still my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Not fiancé? Hmm...very interesting."
"What's going on in that mind of yours, Black?"
"Surprisingly, lots. It's just there is a certain mate out there that is crazy for you and you try not to believe it. Yet you still continue to date the bimbo who you barely know."
"Sirius I like Jacque, not James. I don't think I will ever fall for James."
"You know think you'll ever fall for James?"
"I won't," I corrected myself.
"All I'm saying is think about it."
"No thanks," we approached the portrait and entered. Not a soul was in sight. I kind of feel bad I didn't find Bree, I hope she's okay.
"Night, Sirius. See you in the morning," I started to head up the girls' staircase.
"Good night. Thanks, oh, and Lil," I paused half way up the stairs, "Think about what I said."
"Good night Sirius," I said more firmly yet jokingly.
I headed up the stairs and entered the calm room. I walked over to Bree's bed and noticed she was there. I then went to my bed and fell right to sleep.
~*~
(A/N: No POV)
Bree walked down the staircase.
I need to clear my mind, she thought to herself. The common room was as still as a board. She headed towards the overstuffed comfy couch in front of the crackling fire.
I really don't want to go to classes tomorrow, Bree looked up at the clock, Actually I don't want to go to classes today. Maybe I can say I don't feel good. It wouldn't be lying, I really do feel horrible. Luckily tomorrow is Friday then I'll have the weekend. What am I going to do? I need to talk to Sirius. If he's not in his room I should check the hospital wing.
"Cheese and rice," she muttered out loud.
"Tell me about it," Sirius emerged from the boys' staircase in a dark corner.
"Hey," Bree said quietly, "Have you been sleeping?"
"Not on bit. I haven't even been upstairs yet," Sirius sat down besides Bree. The bright light from the fire crept onto Sirius face and revealed a serious cut and bruise on his eye and cheek.
"Holy Merlin!" Bree saw the cuts and Sirius tried to cover them up.
"There's nothing there," he replied.
"Of course there is! I could've poked your eye out!" Bree said very worried.
"It's not that bad," Sirius said not wanting to make Bree feel worse.
"I'll be right back," she raced up the stairs and disappeared.
Only minutes passed before Bree came bounding down the stairs carrying something.
"Shh, you don't want to wake everybody up."
"Who cares?" She held in her hands a white cloth and ice, "Here put this on your cutes before they swell even worse."
She placed the ice in the towel on his eye, "Ow!"
"Sorry," she took the ice off then gently put it back on.
For a few minutes nobody spoke. All you could hear was the wind outside and the quiet crackling of the fire. No one made any movements except for Bree moving from but to cut and icing them.
"I'm sorry," they both spoke at the same time. They blushed at the coincidence.
"I shouldn't have blown up in your face like that," Bree said first.
"I shouldn't have...um...I should have confronted you like that," Sirius said, "You know, all demanding."
"You did nothing wrong, Sirius," Bree pointed out.
"I'm sorry," Sirius said again.
"You did nothing wrong," Bree smiled, "Anyway," Bree said lying down and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Anyway....Bree?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah?"
"I know this is kind of sudden and you just broke up with your boyfriend and everything, but will you go out with me?"
"It is sudden..." she replied sarcastically, "But okay. I heard you're a pretty good boyfriend." Bree hugged Sirius. They both feel asleep side by side, happy and glad to be in each others arms again.
