Chapter Eighteen

Review

Sirius looked up at the girls. They were glaring at him. James and Remus just stared at him. "She's really gone?"

"No you git, we just wrote that as a sick joke on you. OF COURSE SHE'S GONE!" Lily cried harder. Gwen slapped him.

"There you go idiot. That's what you get when you wrongfully accuse someone. They up and leave because they can't stand to be around an ass." She stormed upstairs. Lily stood up and gave him one last glare before following Gwen.

James glared at his two friends. "I tried to tell you that she was at that party. I tried to tell you that I saw her at the party and not with your brother. This is what you get and deserve. The girls don't deserve this. They believed her all along. Good going you two." He walked up to his dorm room.

Sirius sat down on the couch. Everyone was mad at him for what had happened. He knew that it was his fault. He knew he should have heard her out. He knew...but what could be done now?

The teen put his face in his hands and cried for his loss.

When the two girls reached their room, they collapsed on Gwen's bed and laughed. They had pulled off stage one. They successfully made Sirius believe that he had caused Elise to move. It was brilliant.

"Now, what should we make him do to show his appreciation for her?"

Lily sat and thought about her friend's question. This was the hard part; how to make Sirius show that he really missed Elise.

(

Sirius sat in his room. He was so upset. He was starting to have doubts about his choice in leaving Elise. There really wasn't any evidence as to what she did. His best friend and the girls saw her at the party and not snogging his rat faced brother. Maybe he should have listened to what she had to say and not throw her away like that.

"Sirius, you haven't eaten all day. Why don't you come down to dinner?" James said. He leaned against the door frame and looked at his friend. Although he was upset with his actions, James forgave him. Clearly her leaving had done more damage than James could do with the silent treatment.

"No, I can't. What would-"

"I don't care. She's gone and starving yourself won't bring her back. Now, get up and wash your face. You are going down to dinner even if I have to bring you down by force." James tossed his wand up in the air while giving Sirius a meaningful look.

"Ugh, fine."

(

Lily, Gwen, James, Remus, and Sirius trooped down to dinner. The tension was so thick between the girls and Sirius, if it was palpable, they would've choked. They heard some sounds up in the deserted hallway. The group strained to see who it was. It was a group of Slytherins. The Gryffindors just went on, not paying attention to them.

"So, I hear she's gone. She moved. Apparently the rejection from your brother, Regulus, has made her want to move to a completely different continent," Snape was saying to Regulus and Lestrange.

"Yes, we have ruined their perfect lives for good. I love revenge."

"Too true, Lestrange."

The Gryffindors stopped to eavesdrop on them now.

"Yes, Snape that was a brilliant plan. Using that Hufflepuff to look like it was that filthy Gryffindor making out me. It was wonderful. I ruined my brother's life and some action on the side. Ah, how wonderful it felt."

Sirius had walked out of the shadows. "How wonderful are you going to feel when I permanently shove your heads up your asses?"

The Slytherins looked like deer caught in headlights. James and Remus stepped out also. The girls hid and watched. They were too upset to do anything.

"S-S-Sirius, I-"

"You what?" Sirius started moving for his brother. He looked deranged. James and Remus grabbed Snape and Lestrange and pinned them against the wall.

"You made me believe that my girlfriend was cheating me. That caused me to break up with her. And THAT CAUSED HER TO MOVE FOR GOOD! DON'T TRY TALKING OUT OF THIS ONE, CAUSE YOU WILL DIE!" Sirius pounced on the younger boy.

"Sirius, don't. You don't even know what happened," James said. He was holding Snape, pinned at the arms against the wall. Sirius stopped. It was amazing, the effect James had on Sirius.

"I understand fine. You went and made her to look like a slut. Are you happy? You piece of shit. I will get you back. Just remember, paybacks a bitch." Sirius stomped off with his friends following.

"I am sorry. I am very sorry to you two girls. I never meant for this to happen. I really regret what happened. Can you ever forgive me?" In that instant, Lily and Gwen knew how much he regret he had. He felt terrible.

"We can forgive you. Just not right now. You need to make it up to us and to Elise, even though she isn't here," Lily said.
