AN: So, next chappy. Everybody happy? Well, I am going to try and make this
chapter a little bit longer than the others. I feel that you deserve it, oh

chapter (see parenthesis) you are the one/s who make me want to write
more.. Enough of this cheesy crap, on to the chapter. I hope you enjoy!!!
Side note: Cayte's last name (Daae) is pronounced Die-aay.
Chapter 5
Sirius turned over in his bed for what must have been the one- hundredth time that night.
"Why can't I sleep?' he thought to himself, "I know self, count sheep! Nope wait, tried that one already. But I suppose I can try again. Okay, One Two Three." Sirius shut his eyes tight and started to concentrate on the back of his eyelids.
'One sheep. Wait a minute, why is the sheep running towards me? AHHHHHHHH!" Sirius quickly opened his eyes. "Why the hell did that sheep look like a sheep until it turned to face me? Then it had Cayte's face. WHY DID IT HAVE CAYTE'S FACE???" Sirius stared up at the top of his four-poster wondering why he had only thought of Cayte since he left the girl dormitory.
Every time Sirius closed his eyes, Cayte would appear before him in some form. Every time he turned over and looked across the bed, he saw Cayte crying again. Sirius peeked out of the curtains to see what time it was, the arms on the clock flashed at him, saying it was 2:30 in the morning. He got up and went to the edge of his bed.
He got out a piece of parchment, a quill, and an inkbottle. He got back into his bed, sat down against the pillows, put the quill to the parchment and just started to write. He didn't think about what he was writing, he just wrote whatever came out of his head and onto the parchment. After a small time, he stopped, put everything but the piece of parchment onto his nightstand and read what he had written.
I can't stop thinking about Cayte. She is everything that I want. My heart still aches because of her crying. Every time that I close my eyes, I see her. Every where that I look, she's there. The clock, my trunk, this paper, everything. I can't sleep for my thinking about her and wishing that everything ends up well with her father.
She is so wonderful, and Lily and James and probably Remus all know that I like her. Hell, they all knew before I did. I'm not too sure that Peter knows though.
She called me Siri. That's a nickname I have never heard. You would think that the other girls I've dated would have come up with some nickname like that, but no. She's not even my girlfriend (though I wish she were) and she is calling me by a nickname. I think that's really what triggered my realization that I like her.
And then I start to wonder what Cassie would tell me to do. No. Wait, I shouldn't bring Cassie into this. But then again, I should. She always knew what to do, and everything she told em to do was always right.
I suppose she would tell me to go for it. It's what I wasn't, and I can't change that. I definitely don't want to see Cayte every time I close my eyes. Not that it's bad or anything, but im so TIRED!
Siri
Sirius read over what he had written, realizing what everyone else has knows for while. He liked Cayte.Why else would he sign 'Siri', the name that she had bestowed upon him?
Little did he know, Cayte was sitting up in her bed doing the same think that he was. ~*~
What is going on here? Why can't I sleep? Damn Sirius! NO! WAIT! I DON'T MEAN IT! Well, ok.there's a double meaning behind this whole situation. I suppose.
After Sirius and I had our conversation, he got up to go. I had called him over to sit with me till I was asleep. I knew that if he were there, he wouldn't let me cry. I had fallen asleep, and I guess he noticed and got up. But before he left, he bent down and kissed my forehead. That's when I woke up. It took a few minutes for me to realize what had actually transpired. By the time I figured it out, he was gone.
So, he woke me up, but he's also the reason that I am unable to sleep now. I. CAN'T. STOP. THINKING. ABOUT. HIM.

A few days later everyone was at breakfast. James and Lily were sitting on one side of the table, Sirius and Cayte were on the other side. Remus was sitting next to James, across from Ashley, his girlfriend. Peter was by Lily. In general no one wanted to be by Sirius and Cayte, they flirted a bit too much and had been known to kick others instead of themselves on accident.
Suddenly Dumbledore stood up. "I have an announcement to make. In two Saturdays time, it will be Halloween. This year, I would like to hold a dance. Now I kno-" Dumbledore stopped, no one could hear for all the cheering. When all noise had subsided, he continued.
"Now I know that this is short notice but I figured you wouldn't mind. If you have them, you should wear dress robes, if not, we will take a trip to Hogsmead to get them. Thank you" With that Dumbledore sat down and listened to all of the excited chattering.
At the Gryffindor table, James looked over at Lily, made eye contact, and with they had both agreed on gong. Remus then followed suit. Sirius quickly stood up.
"I-I-I have to go to the library to work on that essay.."
"What essay?" James asked.
"Uh, uh that one for McGonagall," he said quickly running off.
Cayte looked a bit confused. "What essay for McGonagall?"
"I have no idea," Remus said. They all got up and headed toward their respective classes. James Remus and Peter towards the north tower for Divinations, while Lily, Ashley, and Cayte went towards the dungeons.
~*~
"Get out your start charts and start work on them, class," said the divination teacher.
In the back corner by a window sat the Marauders. They all pulled out things so start working on their charts.
After a few minutes James looked up at Remus and said, "Wow! How interesting! My star chart says that Padfoot over there is going to ask Cayte to the dance." (AN: No, they have not become animagi yet but they know what they will become thus the nicknames are already in effect! End AN) Remus laughed then followed up with, "Yeah? Mine says he's going to ask her out shortly afterwards.." James and Remus died laughing.
Peter then followed up with, "Yeah, mine says that he is in love with her!"
This entire time Sirius was growing angrier by the minute. "Well guys, mine says that I'm going to beat my friends noses in after class!" That shut them all up.Meanwhile.
~*~
"Today we will be making a truth telling potion. You will be paired up into groups of two, except for one group of three. You all know who you're working with except for Miss Matthews, if you will please work with Miss Evans and Miss Daae."
Cayte and Lily looked at each other and rolled their eyes. They both found Ashley Matthews very annoying. "Lily, I need to talk to you later. It's important."
"Ok, want to walk after dinner?"
"Sure, that sounds li-'
"Hey! So, did Remy not look * amazing* this morning? Not that he doesn't every day. But still, he is so gorgeous. I just can't get enough of his hair, and his smile and..and."
'Ashley, we have to work. Sorry, but we don't really want to hear about Remus. The two of us spend enough time with him when we spend time with our boyfriends." Lily said.
"Hey! Siri is NOT my boy friend!"
"He might as well be!"
The class period went on like this, with random outbursts about Remus from Ashley.
~*~
Sirius sat in his four-poster thinking about what he wanted to do. Lily and Cayte were off talking, Remus was somewhere doing God-knows-what with his bimbo girlfriend, and James was in the commons room doing homework.
This dance thing is driving me nuts, Sirius thought. Ask her to it, it can't hurt. Besides, she'll say yes, you know it. But what if she doesn't, what if someone else asks her first? It would be hell on me!
Sirius sat there thinking about whether or not he should ask Cayte to the dance or not. Suddenly he heard a noise and looked up.
"James? What's up?"
"Nothing. Lily and I are going to the green houses to check and see how the mandrakes are coming along. Wanna come?"
"No, they're back? Lily and Cayte I mean."
"Yeah got back a little while ago."
"Alright. See you later."
James left the dormitory. Sirius got up, shook his head vigorously, then thought to himself, "Are you sure you want to do this? Yes you are."
He left the dorm room and headed towards the commons room. He saw that Cayte was not there, so he turned and started to walk up the staircase to get to Cayte's room.
AN: The end.TBC. I think I will get the next chappy posted later tonight!
