AN: Ok, so as my friend dixiehnsnluver noted to me, electricity doesn't
work in Hogwarts. Well, I say, GAH!
(http://www.geocities.com/unibadass/arseishpage.html) That, and that it's
fan fiction and I can do whatever the heck I want to! You agree?
Um.Hogwarts: A History had not been published at the time and thus, no one
knew that electricity didn't work at Hogwarts. This, CLEARLY, says that if
one doesn't know that something won't work, who's to stop them from trying.
Hogwarts: A History was wrong! LoL! Well, now that we've gotten that mess
cleared up.
What to write what to write. Finals ruin ones imagination sometimes. That
would also be the reason for delay in this chapter..
Chapter 7
As they were walking down the staircase, Sirius turned to Cayte and said, "Hey, don't tell Lily or James or anyone about us going together ok?"
"Yeah. You want to surprise them or something?"
"You got it. They keep bugging me about how I haven't asked you, so I want them to freak out!"
~*~
A few days later they were all walking towards breakfast when Cayte paused. Sirius looked back towards her, wondering what was going on. From the look that was in her eyes, he knew that he should go talk to her.
"Meet me by the tree during lunch," was all she said, then she ran off towards the dorms.
'What could be up with her?' Sirius thought. 'Oh, well, I've been needing to talk to her privately as well.'
~*~
Sirius sat in divinations writing on a spare piece of parchment to clear his head.
'I wonder what Cayte needs to talk to me about? I do need to talk to her though, want to make sure she doesn't think we're going out. I'm not quite ready for that. It's just not a good time for me I suppose.
I hope she doesn't think we are, I don't want her to be upset or anything. That would be a first, I make a girl upset without even going out with them.'
Seeing as it was a spare piece of parchment, and was pretty small, Sirius had run out of room. He folded it up and put it in his bag to put with the rest of his writings.
~*~ Meanwhile ~*~
Cayte was sitting in potions writing on a piece of parchment herself.
'I hope Sirius doesn't get mad when I tell him that we are not going out. I don't even know if he thinks we are, but if he does, and I tell him.I've never made a guy mad before. Especially one like Siri. I get the impression that he can have a bit of a temper. Not a bad thing, just one of those things where he wouldn't be too happy if he didn't get what he wanted.He's not spoiled, just..I don't know, why does it matter?'
At that point in time, Prewett walked up to survey Cayte and Lily's work. Cayte quickly put the parchment away and got to work. She wouldn't write anymore that day.
~*~
When everyone else was heading for lunch, Sirius escaped down a hallway he had found earlier in the year. It led to where the kitchens were. He asked the house elves for some food then started heading towards the tree.
Cayte saw him approaching with the food basket and called out to him, "Oh good, you brought food, I was wondering how we would eat."
Sirius sat down leaning against the tree and handed Cayte some food. "So, what are we here to talk about?" He said, mouth full of food.
"Umm.." Cayte didn't know what to tell him, so she just sat there and blushed. They both finished eating, then turned and looked at each other.
'I need to ask you something," they said in unison.
"You first," they said again, in unison.
"you don't think that we're going out do you?" again, in unison.
Cayte and Sirius both laughed. Sirius was the first to stop. "Good. I'm glad that's over!" They sat in an awkward moment of silence, then Cayte broke it. "Just out of curiosity, why is it that you didn't want to be 'going out'?"
Sirius sighed, James and Remus didn't even know about why it was that he didn't want a girlfriend, how was he supposed to tell her? Sirius kept the silence going, and Cayte noticed that his normally bright blue eyes had turned to gray.
She scooted closer to him, "Siri?" she whispered. "What's wrong?"
"It's Cassie. That's why I don't want a girlfriend. I just can't imagine having that without her to tease me about it. I have made adaptations in all aspects of my life but I am afraid to do it in that area. It's just so hard. I can't get used to it. Normally I would plan and make everything big and magnificent, and then I would ask the girl out. But I always made plans with Cassie, she helped me, and when I couldn't get something for whatever reason, she would go and get it for me. She would make sure everything went right.I can't do it." Sirius pushed his back against the tree trunk and buried his head in his hands. 'I will not cry in front of her. Not here, not now, not ever.'
"Sirius? It's okay, she will be okay, and so will you. Life will get back to normal and-"
Sirius interrupted her, his voice loud and angry, "THAT'S THE THING! EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL AND IT SHOULDN'T BE! * THAT'S * WHY-sorry for yelling.That's why I can't have a girlfriend, it would mean everything was completely back to normal and it shouldn't be. I should be out having fun, while she's-she's," his voice faded out and he put his head in his hands again.
Cayte didn't know what to do. She just scooted as close to him as possible and put her head on his shoulder. He slowly took the arm she was leaning against and put it around her. She was comforting him, and he desperately needed it.
AN: wow. I didn't know I could right such an emotional climax. Well, it was an 'emotional climax' when writing it at least. I don't know if it was for you readers. More from the tree later. Until then check out my profile and go to my journal about this page. Oh yeah, I need your help in a few areas.. 1~ I'm thinking that every five chapters or so, I will have an entry from one of the other characters. This can be from anyone except Siri or Cayte. 2~ Umm.I forgot was two was.I'll post it in the journal when I remember..That's all!
