After having paced all afternoon in the Shack, sitting actually felt good to Sirius. He had chosen that place to think about James and his new love, because he would not be disturbed and he could make as much noise as he wanted. He had even lashed out his frustration on the furniture earlier. He would repair it later, or Remus would.

He could not believe how things had gotten out of hands so quickly. Only last week he had learned that James had a new secret girlfriend. He had tried to spy on them when they had gone to Hogsmeade, but he never found them. Later that day, James had come back smiling stupidly.

When they had some time alone to talk, his best friend had confessed to Sirius that he was in love. Or at least he thought he was. That revelation had stroke him painfully in the heart.

In one second he had lost all chances to even win James' heart.

The funny part – in a sarcastic sense – was that he didn't even know who James was in love with. He had refused to tell him, saying it was new and fragile and they didn't want everyone to know just now.

Sirius had replied he was his best friend, and James had answered he would be the first to know.

The bitter taste in his mouth was what jealousy felt like.

Rin: I think it's my turn to beg now. Please, don't kill me. Don't kill me or you'll never know how this ends!!

Luci Shadow: Everything is possible till the last chapter. It might be Lily and it could also be someone else. You don't actually think I would tell you? =D

RisingStar: Thanks. You know, it hurts me as much as you to see Sirius and James not together!

Spatula: Thanks!

Harry's Lost Twin: Oh, no! I don't want to kill you. I need you to review the last chapters!

Icriedwhensiriusdied: Thanks! I don't know if I'll write a sequel yet. Maybe. I already have begun two SxJ stories and one SxR I have to finish though.
