Kk, just as a warning, this chappie is so not going to be as good as the
last one. Meheen (ers) is a way better authoress than I am. Lol, it just
so happens that we are doing a joint fic because she took pity on the poor
authoress with terrible stories...lol. Well, this chappie is in kai's (my)
point of view, just to let you guyz know...
kAiLaNi'S p.O.v;
I am so happy for Kitten. She deserves to be with someone just as sweet as she is...the lovable little goody-two-shoes...I just wish that I could find that special someone too...well, actually, I already have, I just don't have the guts to ask him out. And I am still kind of mad at him for giving away Faye's secret...thank God that no one has found out mine yet...well, Faye doesn't count.
My major secret is that I am an animagus, unregistered of course. I can change into a cat. A black cat with a white crescent moon on its chest to be exact. That's where I get my black hair from...I didn't always have black hair. It used to be just a dark brown, but I screwed up while changing forms my first time, and so now my hair is black. The crescent moon is for the choker that I always wear around my neck. I always wear it because Sirius gave it to me on my 12th birthday. No one else (Kitty doesn't count again) knows that he is the one that gave it to me though. Not even James.
O yeah, that reminds me...its Saturday. Great. I always get up early on weekends. I just don't know why. Well, having nothing better to do, I dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a black shirt that went slightly above my waist, showing a minute portion of the pixie tattoo on my back, thrust a hoop earring into each of my 3 piercings on each ear, and stepped lightly into the common room (yet another result of my cat from). It was only 5:30 after all.
However, I was shocked as hell to find Sirius sitting by the fireplace reading a book of all things! I mean, sure, he's as hot as hell, but he just doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who reads...-.-U. He looked up when he heard me enter, and grinned widely.
"Good morning Pixie. What are you doing up so early, hmm??? Coming down just to see little old me???" Even though my heart skipped a beat, I kept a calm front.
"Don't flatter yourself sweetheart, why would I want to see you??? Actually, I was looking for Kitten." He grinned at me again, and slowly got up out of his chair. I backed up slightly, but I kept my eyes locked on his. He just grinned even more at my reaction, and grabbed my hand, lacing my fingers with his.
"You want to see your precious little Kitten??? Well, I'll show you to her then. I'm just warning you, you may not like the spectacle you are about to witness..." to my utmost surprise, he was leading me towards his, and the rest of his group's dormitories. I sick thought floated into my mind, but I immediately banished it.
We finally reached their rooms. I had been in here before with Faye, on numerous occasions. We often came up here to use James's invisibility cloak, or just to snoop around. But Sirius was oblivious to all of this as he slowly opened the door.
I could feel my jaw drop as I looked into the room. There was Faye, curled up on top of none other than Remus Lupin They were holding hands asleep after what looked like to have been a massive make-out session. (A/N Meheen, don't kill me.) I was just about to say something exceedingly rude when I felt a hand go over my mouth, and another release my hand and curl around my waist, steering me out of the room. However, as soon as the door was shut behind us, I promptly bit Sirius's hand. Stifling a yelp, he released his hand from over my mouth, but, I noticed breathlessly, not from around my waist.
"What the hell was that for???" He practically screamed at me when we got back to the common room. I didn't answer him; I just glared at the floor and started pacing back and forth as he sat in a chair.
"How can she do this??? She's only fucking 13!!!" I started mumbling to myself. Sirius just sat there looking at me strangely. I sighed heavily and sat on the hearth, leaning back harder than intended, resulting in me slamming my head on bricks. That gave me a major headache. That's another thing that I have in common with kitten, we often get headaches, hers just happen to be worse than mine. I winced and felt the back of my head. I could tell that that was going to leave a mark...I noticed that Sirius wasn't paying attention to me anymore. He had gone back to the book he was reading. That was another thing bothering me. In all of my three years at Hogwarts, I had never seen Sirius read a book before.
Intrigued, I walked over and plopped myself in his lap, trying to get a look at what he was reading. However, he closed the book before I could get a good look, but not before I noticed that he was writing on a piece of parchment instead of reading the book. I should have known. I looked up at him.
"Whatcha writing???" I asked curiously. He didn't answer immediately. He looked thoughtful for a moment, then grinned down at me mischievously and tweaked my nose.
"It's nothing that you should worry about my pixie. Now, shouldn't you get back to sleep??? It's awfully early for someone who needs beauty sleep...well, I take that back, you don't really need it. I do though." I laughed openly at him, also blushing a dark red from his comments. He was still grinning when I replied.
"Why would you need beauty sleep when you have a huge fan club in each house??? I mean, you aren't ugly, you don't need it..." I shut up quickly, realizing what I had just said. From the burning sensation on my face, I could tell that now I was probably as red as Lily's hair. He didn't say anything though. From the spaced out look in his eyes, I doubt that he even heard me. I sighed inwardly. Good, I didn't need that following me around all day.
Having nothing better to do, I summoned a book from my dormitory (did I forget to mention that Faye and I are ahead in all of our classes??? She's smarter than I am, but at least I can stay on a broom.) and settled myself more comfortably in his lap.
Around an hour later, we noticed some movement in the passageway leading to the boy's dormitories. A group of fourth year boys came barreling down the passageway. They ended up in a heap on the floor, and I had to stifle a giggle looking at them. They grinned back up at me, and shamelessly looked me over from my position in Sirius's lap. One of them winked at me, and waved flirtatiously. I turned a bright red, but to my surprise, it was Sirius who reacted angrily. He wrapped his left arm tightly around my waist, put his head on top of mine, and pulled out his wand in one fluid movement. He glared ferociously at the boys and growled threateningly
"If you have a mind in that pretty little head of yours, you'll stay away from what's mine, do you hear me???" That sure scared the hell out of them. They got out of the room so fast, I swear that they were on brooms. I pulled away from him slightly, still blushing though, and looked at him shocked. He glared at the common room entrance for about a minute or so before realizing that I was staring at him.
"What the hell was that all about???" I managed to stutter. He grinned at me and tweaked my nose again.
"I was just informing those nice young gentlemen that they shouldn't mess with my pixie."
"And since when was I yours???"
"Since I said that you were. Now shut up and stop asking stupid questions. Here come Moo-Remus and your sweet little Kitten." He was right. Faye and Remus were walking down the stairway hand in hand. I noticed that Kitty's cap was missing. Good. People would take longer to accept her the longer that she wore that stupid thing.
I tried to get off of Sirius's lap before they noticed. However, his arm was still around me, (I was still blushing), and he wouldn't let up his grip on me. He grinned up at Remus and waved them over. Now I was blushing even more.
Kitten looked very pleased with herself. Her facial expression immediately went from happy to inquisitive and suggestive as she glanced at me though. I glared at her, but then I couldn't help grinning a bit. Thank God neither of the boys noticed this exchange.
I finally managed to get out of Sirius's grip, and I promptly pounced on Faye, knocking her to the ground. I had to admit, I was strong for my size. We giggled and hugged, and I was about to ask her about her position with Remus, when a rather rude and annoying voice interrupted.
"Alright, lesbian action!!!" Simultaneously, we got up and kicked James, Faye in the chest, and me well...elsewhere. He fell on the ground hard, and started to rock back and forth while the rest of us just laughed.
"Come on Kitty," I managed to gasp out between laughs. "Let's go and get some food." We linked arms and skipped merrily out of Gryffindor tower singing "London Bridges", incorrectly of course.
When we reached the Great Hall, I was surprised to find that it was very crowded. I mean it was 7 A.M on a Saturday. What kind of idiot was up that early on a weekend??? Then I remembered it was the first weekend visit to Hogsmeade. I couldn't wait! Kitten and I looked at each other and squealed simultaneously. I glanced over at the Slytherin table, and I noticed my friend Aimee waving at me. I waved back, and walked over to talk to her.
I had known Aimee about a year before I met Faye. She was a year older, (in her fourth year), and she had been my best friend. I mean we had a lot in common. For one thing, we were both pretty good looking. I don't mean to be cocky, but hey, I am!!! For another thing, we were both sort of family outcasts. In other words, we didn't get along with our families. Because of that, she had turned gothic, but I had just gotten defensive and untrusting, and sort of distant. For our last common trait, we were both animaguses. Instead of a cat though, she could transform into a raven. It kind of suited her, if you asked me.
Despite our similarities, we also had a lot of differences. For one, she was tall, had blond hair so fair, that it was almost white, a slash of freckles across her nose, and she had emotionless blue eyes. She was also a terrible student. I am honestly surprised that she managed to get from year to year. Another thing that I didn't have in common with her, thank God, was that she was madly in love with none other than Peter Pettigrew. I don't know how it was possible that one of the most popular girls in Hogwarts could like someone as insignificant as Peter, but I kept my mouth shut.
"Hey" she greeted me with a huge grin on her face. I knew then that something was up. I didn't like it, but I grinned back at her anyway. "Guess what I just heard!!!" she practically squealed at me. Now I knew that something was definitely wrong. However, before I got the chance to ask her what was up, the owl post arrived. I noticed my tiny elf owl heading towards me with a big red letter in its talons. Shit, I knew it wouldn't be long before mom broke through the locking spells on my door. I took the letter from my owl, hurriedly opened it, and dashed from the hall before anyone could notice.
I had just gotten to the outside of the doors when I heard the magically magnified voice of my mother boom across the hall: "YOU LITTLE UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT, BUT YOU MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE HOUSE AND GO BACK TO THAT DAMN SCHOOL OF YOURS!! DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE THOUGH, BECAUSE IF I CAN, I WILL HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT AND I WILL PERSONALLY BEAT YOU TO A BLOODY PULP!!! AND EVEN IF I CAN'T GET TO YOU, DON'T THINK THAT YOU WILL BE COMING HOME EVER!!! GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE YOU BLOODY WHORE!!!" I was shaking, and hot tears were streaming out of my eyes. Without watching where I was going, I ran blindly into the last person that I wanted to see at that moment. Snivellus. Perfect. He just stood there, blocking my exit and smirking evilly.
"Little Pixie dear, don't tell me that was your dear mother that sent that??? Oh how tragic. I just feel terrible!!!" I glared at him from my position on the floor (he had knocked me down.)
"Just shut up and get out of my say you filthy git!!!" I screeched at him. I really wasn't in the mood for this. When he didn't get out of the way though, I really lost it. I used the jelly-legs curse on him, and the silencing charm. Before anyone could investigate the loud bang though, I transformed into a cat and raced off towards our tree.
I finally got out of the tree around midday. I bolted towards the village as fast as I could. I really needed to talk to Faye. I knew that Snivellus also knew that I was an animagus too. Beautiful. This is so my day...I knew that that would be around school as soon as he was able to talk. Damn. Oh well, I didn't have time to worry about that now. I just had to find Faye. Or Sirius. Or anyone!!
I finally reached Hogsmeade. I ran into Zonko's, knowing that they would be there. I was right. I stopped next to Faye, and I tapped her back. She turned around, a bit surprised, and looked at me with a mix of anger and worry. Worry was more evident as she noticed I was sweating heavily and panting doubled over. I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me, steadying me. I knew that it was Sirius without even looking.
"Kitten...I...really...need...to...talk...to...you." I managed to get out between breaths. I stood up and looked her directly in the eyes pleadingly. "Please???" She glowered at me for a second, and then gave in. No one can resist my puppy eyes.
"Fine, whatever, you just have to tell me where you were all morning!!! We were worried sick about you!!! I mean I know that it's embarrassing when your mother sends you a howler like that...oops..." she trailed off and looked at me guiltily. Now Remus and Sirius knew that my mother was abusive too. Great. Sirius was looking at me shocked.
"That was your mother???" I nodded reluctantly. I could feel tears forming in my eyes again. I hated crying in front of people, but I couldn't help it. I looked up at my friends. Kitten looked very close to tears, Remus was holding her, and he was looking at me very sympathetically. I looked up at Sirius; he was looking down at me tenderly, and it made my heart stop in my chest. I gulped and lowered my gaze again. I couldn't stand looking at him; I knew that I could never have him. I mean, who would want a 4' 11" punk called Pixie??? I snapped out of my reverie, and looked at Faye again, and repeated my question. She nodded, and we trailed out of the shop slowly. We sat down at a table next to the Three Broomsticks.
"So, what did you want to tell me???" I looked around nervously before answering her.
"Well, as soon as I got out of the hall, I ran into Sniv. He pissed me off, so I jinxed him. It was a pretty bad one too. And before anyone could find out it was me, I...I...I turned into a cat and bolted to the tree." She looked at me shocked, and I looked back at her sheepishly.
"How could you be so careless??? And you attacked another student??? You are in such deep shit this time Kai. I don't know if I can help you this time. You might have to ask someone who knows about stuff like this. Like maybe James, or Sirius, or Aimee." She spat the last name out contemptuously. . I grinned despite myself. I knew that she didn't like my fair-haired gray-eyed friend.
Just at that moment, Remus and Sirius rejoined us. Remus pulled up a chair and sat next to Kitten, then grabbed her hand again. They were so cute. Sirius pulled me out of the chair, sat himself in it, and then pulled me on top of him. My breath caught in my throat again, and my heart stopped beating. I knew that this was just his usually flirty behavior, but it sure was nice to have it directed at me for once.
"So, what was so important that you couldn't tell us, hmm Pixie???" he asked, nuzzling the back of my neck. I swatted away his head with my hand, and was about to reply with a scathing remark, but Faye answered before I could.
"It's nothing much. She just attacked Sniv. Pretty badly too it seems." Remus looked shocked, but Sirius let out a barking laugh and said
"Well, it's about time somebody did." I couldn't help grinning too.
"Yeah, but nobody knows its me, so don't say anything, kk???"
"Ok, fine. If anyone asks, though, can I take the credit???" I hit him lightly on the arm.
"Hell no, the credit's all my sweetheart!!!"
"Now that sounds like the Pixie I know." He replied fondly. "Well, if we don't have anything else to do here, maybe we can go back to the castle and curse all the toilets into erupting or something..." he and I were the only ones that laughed. Faye and Remus just exchanged worried glances. We had just gotten up, and were about to leave, when Aimee ran over.
"Kailani, I am so sorry!!!" she exclaimed as she enveloped me in a hug. "If it makes you feel any better Kai, my mom sends me those all of the time. I just leave them to explode in the teacher's lounge..." she continued with a huge grin on her face. She finally let go of me, and backed up a bit. She looked over our little group. "Ah yes, hello Remus, Kat-thing." She said carelessly nodding her head at them in turn. "Oh, hello Sirius!!!" She purred at him, grinned, and winked suggestively. That struck a nerve inside of me. I moved closer to Sirius, and leaned back against his chest. Aimee cocked a brow at me, then waved, and walked away. "I'll catch ya later pipsqueak, when you're alone. Later!!!"
I glared at her retreating back. I suddenly remembered that I was leaning against Sirius, and turned a bright red. I got off of him, and started walking in the direction of the castle. I felt an arm intertwine itself with mine, and looked to see Faye with a wicked grin on her face. I grinned back at her, and we started to skip, singing our demented version of "London Bridges again".
We reached the common room quicker than expected. Faye went straight to our dormitory to get a book and sat down to study with Remus. Sirius wandered off to do some stupid thing of another with James (who we had found stalking Lily, Emily, and Katharine.) I had nothing to do though. However, when I reached in my pocket, I found a note. Aimee must have put it in my pocket when she hugged me. The note read:
KAILANI, I KNOW YOUR SECRET. MEET ME IN FRONT OF THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM AT MIDNIGHT. COME ALONE, UNLESS YOU WANT THE WHOLE SCHOOL TO KNOW OF YOUR SECRET. SEVERUS.
Shit. Shit shit shit. I had no choice but to go. I stormed out of the common room, and headed down to the quidditch field. I really needed to blow off some steam. So, I decided to break into the quidditch shed and 'borrow' and broomstick, bludgers, and beater's bat. It was easy to get into the shed, since they hadn't changed the locks since last year. I was on the team last year. However, they kicked me off when I beat up the Slytherin team captain. It's not my fault; I just don't let anybody touch my arse.
I had been beating around the bludger for about half an hour when, without warning, my thoughts drifted back to my dark-haired knight in armor. I didn't get why he had been so sweet and protective lately. Not to mention considerably more flirty than usual. I blushed at the thought. I certainly didn't mind the extra attention. I mean, if he kept it up long enough, I might work up enough courage to ask him out. It really was a funny thought. I wasn't scared of anything, not even death, but I was afraid of him saying no. I mean it's only a word after all. I was so deep in thought that I didn't even notice the bludger flying towards me.
I screamed and ducked my head, but I somebody hit it before it could hit me. I looked up and meekly opened my eyes. James sat there; bat in hand, bludger under arm, and grinning. I grinned weakly back at him.
"Uhh...thanks James. You just saved me from a trip to the hospital wing..."
"No problem. Anything for my little sister!!!" We both laughed at that comment. We actually did look related. It was scary. We both had messy black hair, hazel eyes, and were skinny for our age. People often asked us if we were related. So, we just invented a twisted story, and called each other siblings. It was actually pretty funny.
"So, what were you thinking about that got you so distracted??? I mean you were totally looking in the wrong direction and every thing. What's wrong???"
"Sirius." I blurted out the word before I had a chance to clear my thoughts properly. I promptly turned a bright red after saying his name, and cast my eyes downward. I could tell that James was grinning though, without even needing to look at him.
"Aww Pix, don't tell me that you're falling for him??? Well, I can say that you aren't the only one. Dammit, how is it that he always gets the cute girls??? Well, I can tell you this at least, you're lucky that he isn't here. Right now, he's off brooding somewhere contemplating how to get this really awesome girl that he thinks he doesn't stand a chance with." I could feel my heart drop at his words. I knew that it was too good to be true... "He just doesn't know how wrong he is..." I sharply turned an inquisitive gave at James, who just smirked, and waved for me to join him on the ground. Reluctantly, I followed him. I wanted to know what the hell he was talking about, but I knew that if he wasn't going to tell me willingly, I couldn't get it out of him. The only people that could do that were Sirius and Lily. I contemplated asking him if I could borrow his invisibility cloak, but then I would have to explain my secret, and the Sniv blackmail thing, and I really didn't feel like doing that. So, I kept my mouth shut instead. I would just have to take it later...
Everyone was at dinner, except for me. I wasn't there, partially because I wasn't hungry, and partially because I didn't want to face that asshole. Not any sooner then I had to anyway. Right now, I was on my way up the stairs leading to the marauders dormitory. I knew that way by heart, I was up here a lot to snoop around. And so far, no one had caught Faye and me taking James's cloak. As soon as entered the room, I stuffed the cloak in my bag, and dashed down the stairs. I could hear the portrait hole open just as I reached the bottom step. Perfect timing. I let out an inward sigh of relief. It was only Kitten and Emily. They looked at me funny, and noticed that I was standing on the last step leading to the boy's dormitories. They traded smirks, and then looked back at me. "Now now Kai, what were you doing up there??? Snooping around in dear Sirius's chamber again, were you??? I mean, just imagine if he caught you up there. What do you think would be going through his mind hmm???" inquired Emily teasingly. I caught the double meaning to her statement, and bushed a dark red. I had been doing that a lot lately. Emily and Faye just burst out laughing, and I couldn't help joining them.
"Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm tired. I'm going to bed now. Well, maybe first I'll read my Inu-yasha manga..." Emily trailed off as she headed up the stairs. That was one thing that the three of us had in common. We were all HUGE Inu-yasha fans. We were really pissed that we couldn't watch the anime on TV here.
I looked at Kit, and she looked back at me. Without warning, the two of us burst out laughing. We did that a lot. At first, people had looked at us funny, but now, they were so used to it, that it was like part of a daily routine.
"Well, unlike Em, I think that I am going to read a little bit. I mean, it's only 10-o-clock..." She summoned the book "Loamhedge" from her bed, and curled up in a chair to read. I sat on the arm of her chair, reading over her shoulder. We didn't even notice the rest of the Gryffindors come in until they began to bid us goodnight. I had to admit, for third years, our group was pretty popular.
At about 11:45, Kitten shut the book in my face. I glared good-naturedly at her, and she just yawned in response.
"I don't know how you can stay up this late Kai, but I am going to bed. I'll see you in the morning!!!" she stumbled up the stairs, waving absently over her shoulder. Now everyone was out of the common room. It was just what I had been waiting for. I silently slipped out of the tower, and pulled on the cloak.
I was just about at the Slytherin common room entrance, when I realized that I had forgotten my wand. Damn, now I had nothing except my fists to defend myself if he tried something stupid. Cursing myself for my stupidity, I stepped into a shadow and slipped off the cloak, then deposited it in a corner. I did not want Snivellus to know that I had access to an invisibility cloak as well.
He was standing there waiting for me as I stepped back out of the shadows. I wide smirk had plastered itself across his face.
"Well well, it's nice to see that you actually showed up. I guess that you are taking no chances at having your secret exposed, now are you???" He purred at me. He was definitely enjoying me being in this predicament. I growled at him. He may have been enjoying this, but I sure as hell was not.
"What the hell do you want Snivellus??? If you're just here to taunt me, you're wasting my time. So just state your demands and I'll be on my way. I don't really want to be halfway across the castle in the middle of the night!!!" Sniv's facial expression got dark immediately. Then he grinned. I shivered, and it wasn't because I was only dressed in a tank top and loose black pajama pants. He cupped my chin in his hand as he answered my questions.
"Well, my sweet Pixie, what am I going to do with you??? I'll tell you exactly what I am going to do with you. I am going to use you as an item for revenge. Revenge on whom you ask??? Revenge on that evil little puppy. In other words, I am going to use you against your own dear Sirius Black. And you want to know how I am going to use you??? Well, it's very simple really. You are going to be my girlfriend. And if you refuse, the whole school shall know of your little 'secret'. That my dear is exactly what I plan to do with you." I drew back from his hand and glared at him. He backed up a step, but he was still grinning that cold smile of his. I was full of rage and frustration. There was nothing that I could do. I couldn't risk him telling everybody. Not only would I be expelled, but I would be in deep shit with the ministry too. Perfect. I only nodded slightly, and answered.
"I hate you Sniv, I really do. Now more than ever. I'll do anything you say, just don't lay a hand on Sirius." Too bad I didn't have my wand. I could have just blasted his memory or something. Damn. Oh well, as long as he didn't try anything really stupid, I could attack him Monday in class and make it look like an accident. Sniv was looking at me carefully, as if trying to see if I was lying or not. He finally finished looking at me, and nodded curtly. Then without another word, he strode off.
The walk back to the common room wasn't a fun one. I was beating myself up about being careless the entire way. I was so immersed in calling myself names, that I crashed into the Fat Lady without realizing I was there already. I said the password, and she looked around startled at seeing no one there (I was still wearing the cloak), but she swung open nonetheless.
As soon as I entered the room, I felt myself pinned against the wall. I looked up sharply. There were Sirius and James, looking mad as hell. Shit, they must have found out that the cloak was missing!!! James tried to get the cloak off of me, but I was too fast. I changed into a cat before he could get a grip on me. I tried to bolt towards the girl's dormitories, but Sirius was too fast for me. I was too busy struggling to get out of his arms to even hear James shout the counter curse. The next thing I knew I was in Sirius's arms, and both boys were staring at me bugged-eyed.
"Kai?!?" They both exclaimed simultaneously. I stared at the ground sheepishly, refusing to look at them. I felt Sirius put me down though, and he tilted my chin to make me look up at them. They were staring at me with a look composed of shock and curiosity. James finally broke the ice.
"Well, at least it wasn't Wormtail doing something stupid or something like that. I'll just leave you to interrogate her Padfoot. I'm going to bed." He strode up the stairs, waving absently over his shoulder.
As soon as James left, Sirius sat heavily down on the couch. I sat down softly next to him.
"Why did you do it???" I decided to play dumb. I stared glumly at the floor.
"Do what???"
"What do you think dumbass. Why did you take the cloak??? Why did you decide to take a midnight stroll??? But most importantly, why didn't you tell anyone or take anybody with you??? Do you know how worried I was???" He unexpectedly pulled me into a hug. That was the last straw. I started sobbing into the front of his shirt uncontrollably. He just pulled me into his lap and rubbed my back soothingly. When I was finally able to talk, I told him the entire story. (A/N I would write the thing over, but I am way too lazy....) when I was finally finished, I looked up at his face. He looked like he was going to explode. That scared me more than Sniv's facial expression had. He looked down at me, and his face softened immediately. He nuzzled my neck affectionately, and kissed the tip of my nose.
"Don't worry about him Pixie, I'll take care of him in the morning. I know that it's late now, but I have one more question for you..." I looked up at him wearily. I really was tired.
"When I modify Snivellus's memory, then you wont be his girlfriend anymore, correct???" I nodded, and my heart jumped into my throat. "Well, would you consider being mine instead??? I could be a lot nicer than that git." My eyes shown brightly as I nodded my head. He grinned in response, and held me tighter against him. I leaned into his chest happily. It couldn't get any better than this. Without meaning to, I fell asleep like that. I was just too tired to get up.
That's all for now kiddies!!! In case you are confused, this chapter was written by surfergurl16, and the last chappie (the better one) was written by meheeners. Well, yeah, thatz all. Pleeze be kind and review!!!
kAiLaNi'S p.O.v;
I am so happy for Kitten. She deserves to be with someone just as sweet as she is...the lovable little goody-two-shoes...I just wish that I could find that special someone too...well, actually, I already have, I just don't have the guts to ask him out. And I am still kind of mad at him for giving away Faye's secret...thank God that no one has found out mine yet...well, Faye doesn't count.
My major secret is that I am an animagus, unregistered of course. I can change into a cat. A black cat with a white crescent moon on its chest to be exact. That's where I get my black hair from...I didn't always have black hair. It used to be just a dark brown, but I screwed up while changing forms my first time, and so now my hair is black. The crescent moon is for the choker that I always wear around my neck. I always wear it because Sirius gave it to me on my 12th birthday. No one else (Kitty doesn't count again) knows that he is the one that gave it to me though. Not even James.
O yeah, that reminds me...its Saturday. Great. I always get up early on weekends. I just don't know why. Well, having nothing better to do, I dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a black shirt that went slightly above my waist, showing a minute portion of the pixie tattoo on my back, thrust a hoop earring into each of my 3 piercings on each ear, and stepped lightly into the common room (yet another result of my cat from). It was only 5:30 after all.
However, I was shocked as hell to find Sirius sitting by the fireplace reading a book of all things! I mean, sure, he's as hot as hell, but he just doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who reads...-.-U. He looked up when he heard me enter, and grinned widely.
"Good morning Pixie. What are you doing up so early, hmm??? Coming down just to see little old me???" Even though my heart skipped a beat, I kept a calm front.
"Don't flatter yourself sweetheart, why would I want to see you??? Actually, I was looking for Kitten." He grinned at me again, and slowly got up out of his chair. I backed up slightly, but I kept my eyes locked on his. He just grinned even more at my reaction, and grabbed my hand, lacing my fingers with his.
"You want to see your precious little Kitten??? Well, I'll show you to her then. I'm just warning you, you may not like the spectacle you are about to witness..." to my utmost surprise, he was leading me towards his, and the rest of his group's dormitories. I sick thought floated into my mind, but I immediately banished it.
We finally reached their rooms. I had been in here before with Faye, on numerous occasions. We often came up here to use James's invisibility cloak, or just to snoop around. But Sirius was oblivious to all of this as he slowly opened the door.
I could feel my jaw drop as I looked into the room. There was Faye, curled up on top of none other than Remus Lupin They were holding hands asleep after what looked like to have been a massive make-out session. (A/N Meheen, don't kill me.) I was just about to say something exceedingly rude when I felt a hand go over my mouth, and another release my hand and curl around my waist, steering me out of the room. However, as soon as the door was shut behind us, I promptly bit Sirius's hand. Stifling a yelp, he released his hand from over my mouth, but, I noticed breathlessly, not from around my waist.
"What the hell was that for???" He practically screamed at me when we got back to the common room. I didn't answer him; I just glared at the floor and started pacing back and forth as he sat in a chair.
"How can she do this??? She's only fucking 13!!!" I started mumbling to myself. Sirius just sat there looking at me strangely. I sighed heavily and sat on the hearth, leaning back harder than intended, resulting in me slamming my head on bricks. That gave me a major headache. That's another thing that I have in common with kitten, we often get headaches, hers just happen to be worse than mine. I winced and felt the back of my head. I could tell that that was going to leave a mark...I noticed that Sirius wasn't paying attention to me anymore. He had gone back to the book he was reading. That was another thing bothering me. In all of my three years at Hogwarts, I had never seen Sirius read a book before.
Intrigued, I walked over and plopped myself in his lap, trying to get a look at what he was reading. However, he closed the book before I could get a good look, but not before I noticed that he was writing on a piece of parchment instead of reading the book. I should have known. I looked up at him.
"Whatcha writing???" I asked curiously. He didn't answer immediately. He looked thoughtful for a moment, then grinned down at me mischievously and tweaked my nose.
"It's nothing that you should worry about my pixie. Now, shouldn't you get back to sleep??? It's awfully early for someone who needs beauty sleep...well, I take that back, you don't really need it. I do though." I laughed openly at him, also blushing a dark red from his comments. He was still grinning when I replied.
"Why would you need beauty sleep when you have a huge fan club in each house??? I mean, you aren't ugly, you don't need it..." I shut up quickly, realizing what I had just said. From the burning sensation on my face, I could tell that now I was probably as red as Lily's hair. He didn't say anything though. From the spaced out look in his eyes, I doubt that he even heard me. I sighed inwardly. Good, I didn't need that following me around all day.
Having nothing better to do, I summoned a book from my dormitory (did I forget to mention that Faye and I are ahead in all of our classes??? She's smarter than I am, but at least I can stay on a broom.) and settled myself more comfortably in his lap.
Around an hour later, we noticed some movement in the passageway leading to the boy's dormitories. A group of fourth year boys came barreling down the passageway. They ended up in a heap on the floor, and I had to stifle a giggle looking at them. They grinned back up at me, and shamelessly looked me over from my position in Sirius's lap. One of them winked at me, and waved flirtatiously. I turned a bright red, but to my surprise, it was Sirius who reacted angrily. He wrapped his left arm tightly around my waist, put his head on top of mine, and pulled out his wand in one fluid movement. He glared ferociously at the boys and growled threateningly
"If you have a mind in that pretty little head of yours, you'll stay away from what's mine, do you hear me???" That sure scared the hell out of them. They got out of the room so fast, I swear that they were on brooms. I pulled away from him slightly, still blushing though, and looked at him shocked. He glared at the common room entrance for about a minute or so before realizing that I was staring at him.
"What the hell was that all about???" I managed to stutter. He grinned at me and tweaked my nose again.
"I was just informing those nice young gentlemen that they shouldn't mess with my pixie."
"And since when was I yours???"
"Since I said that you were. Now shut up and stop asking stupid questions. Here come Moo-Remus and your sweet little Kitten." He was right. Faye and Remus were walking down the stairway hand in hand. I noticed that Kitty's cap was missing. Good. People would take longer to accept her the longer that she wore that stupid thing.
I tried to get off of Sirius's lap before they noticed. However, his arm was still around me, (I was still blushing), and he wouldn't let up his grip on me. He grinned up at Remus and waved them over. Now I was blushing even more.
Kitten looked very pleased with herself. Her facial expression immediately went from happy to inquisitive and suggestive as she glanced at me though. I glared at her, but then I couldn't help grinning a bit. Thank God neither of the boys noticed this exchange.
I finally managed to get out of Sirius's grip, and I promptly pounced on Faye, knocking her to the ground. I had to admit, I was strong for my size. We giggled and hugged, and I was about to ask her about her position with Remus, when a rather rude and annoying voice interrupted.
"Alright, lesbian action!!!" Simultaneously, we got up and kicked James, Faye in the chest, and me well...elsewhere. He fell on the ground hard, and started to rock back and forth while the rest of us just laughed.
"Come on Kitty," I managed to gasp out between laughs. "Let's go and get some food." We linked arms and skipped merrily out of Gryffindor tower singing "London Bridges", incorrectly of course.
When we reached the Great Hall, I was surprised to find that it was very crowded. I mean it was 7 A.M on a Saturday. What kind of idiot was up that early on a weekend??? Then I remembered it was the first weekend visit to Hogsmeade. I couldn't wait! Kitten and I looked at each other and squealed simultaneously. I glanced over at the Slytherin table, and I noticed my friend Aimee waving at me. I waved back, and walked over to talk to her.
I had known Aimee about a year before I met Faye. She was a year older, (in her fourth year), and she had been my best friend. I mean we had a lot in common. For one thing, we were both pretty good looking. I don't mean to be cocky, but hey, I am!!! For another thing, we were both sort of family outcasts. In other words, we didn't get along with our families. Because of that, she had turned gothic, but I had just gotten defensive and untrusting, and sort of distant. For our last common trait, we were both animaguses. Instead of a cat though, she could transform into a raven. It kind of suited her, if you asked me.
Despite our similarities, we also had a lot of differences. For one, she was tall, had blond hair so fair, that it was almost white, a slash of freckles across her nose, and she had emotionless blue eyes. She was also a terrible student. I am honestly surprised that she managed to get from year to year. Another thing that I didn't have in common with her, thank God, was that she was madly in love with none other than Peter Pettigrew. I don't know how it was possible that one of the most popular girls in Hogwarts could like someone as insignificant as Peter, but I kept my mouth shut.
"Hey" she greeted me with a huge grin on her face. I knew then that something was up. I didn't like it, but I grinned back at her anyway. "Guess what I just heard!!!" she practically squealed at me. Now I knew that something was definitely wrong. However, before I got the chance to ask her what was up, the owl post arrived. I noticed my tiny elf owl heading towards me with a big red letter in its talons. Shit, I knew it wouldn't be long before mom broke through the locking spells on my door. I took the letter from my owl, hurriedly opened it, and dashed from the hall before anyone could notice.
I had just gotten to the outside of the doors when I heard the magically magnified voice of my mother boom across the hall: "YOU LITTLE UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT, BUT YOU MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE HOUSE AND GO BACK TO THAT DAMN SCHOOL OF YOURS!! DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE THOUGH, BECAUSE IF I CAN, I WILL HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT AND I WILL PERSONALLY BEAT YOU TO A BLOODY PULP!!! AND EVEN IF I CAN'T GET TO YOU, DON'T THINK THAT YOU WILL BE COMING HOME EVER!!! GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE YOU BLOODY WHORE!!!" I was shaking, and hot tears were streaming out of my eyes. Without watching where I was going, I ran blindly into the last person that I wanted to see at that moment. Snivellus. Perfect. He just stood there, blocking my exit and smirking evilly.
"Little Pixie dear, don't tell me that was your dear mother that sent that??? Oh how tragic. I just feel terrible!!!" I glared at him from my position on the floor (he had knocked me down.)
"Just shut up and get out of my say you filthy git!!!" I screeched at him. I really wasn't in the mood for this. When he didn't get out of the way though, I really lost it. I used the jelly-legs curse on him, and the silencing charm. Before anyone could investigate the loud bang though, I transformed into a cat and raced off towards our tree.
I finally got out of the tree around midday. I bolted towards the village as fast as I could. I really needed to talk to Faye. I knew that Snivellus also knew that I was an animagus too. Beautiful. This is so my day...I knew that that would be around school as soon as he was able to talk. Damn. Oh well, I didn't have time to worry about that now. I just had to find Faye. Or Sirius. Or anyone!!
I finally reached Hogsmeade. I ran into Zonko's, knowing that they would be there. I was right. I stopped next to Faye, and I tapped her back. She turned around, a bit surprised, and looked at me with a mix of anger and worry. Worry was more evident as she noticed I was sweating heavily and panting doubled over. I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me, steadying me. I knew that it was Sirius without even looking.
"Kitten...I...really...need...to...talk...to...you." I managed to get out between breaths. I stood up and looked her directly in the eyes pleadingly. "Please???" She glowered at me for a second, and then gave in. No one can resist my puppy eyes.
"Fine, whatever, you just have to tell me where you were all morning!!! We were worried sick about you!!! I mean I know that it's embarrassing when your mother sends you a howler like that...oops..." she trailed off and looked at me guiltily. Now Remus and Sirius knew that my mother was abusive too. Great. Sirius was looking at me shocked.
"That was your mother???" I nodded reluctantly. I could feel tears forming in my eyes again. I hated crying in front of people, but I couldn't help it. I looked up at my friends. Kitten looked very close to tears, Remus was holding her, and he was looking at me very sympathetically. I looked up at Sirius; he was looking down at me tenderly, and it made my heart stop in my chest. I gulped and lowered my gaze again. I couldn't stand looking at him; I knew that I could never have him. I mean, who would want a 4' 11" punk called Pixie??? I snapped out of my reverie, and looked at Faye again, and repeated my question. She nodded, and we trailed out of the shop slowly. We sat down at a table next to the Three Broomsticks.
"So, what did you want to tell me???" I looked around nervously before answering her.
"Well, as soon as I got out of the hall, I ran into Sniv. He pissed me off, so I jinxed him. It was a pretty bad one too. And before anyone could find out it was me, I...I...I turned into a cat and bolted to the tree." She looked at me shocked, and I looked back at her sheepishly.
"How could you be so careless??? And you attacked another student??? You are in such deep shit this time Kai. I don't know if I can help you this time. You might have to ask someone who knows about stuff like this. Like maybe James, or Sirius, or Aimee." She spat the last name out contemptuously. . I grinned despite myself. I knew that she didn't like my fair-haired gray-eyed friend.
Just at that moment, Remus and Sirius rejoined us. Remus pulled up a chair and sat next to Kitten, then grabbed her hand again. They were so cute. Sirius pulled me out of the chair, sat himself in it, and then pulled me on top of him. My breath caught in my throat again, and my heart stopped beating. I knew that this was just his usually flirty behavior, but it sure was nice to have it directed at me for once.
"So, what was so important that you couldn't tell us, hmm Pixie???" he asked, nuzzling the back of my neck. I swatted away his head with my hand, and was about to reply with a scathing remark, but Faye answered before I could.
"It's nothing much. She just attacked Sniv. Pretty badly too it seems." Remus looked shocked, but Sirius let out a barking laugh and said
"Well, it's about time somebody did." I couldn't help grinning too.
"Yeah, but nobody knows its me, so don't say anything, kk???"
"Ok, fine. If anyone asks, though, can I take the credit???" I hit him lightly on the arm.
"Hell no, the credit's all my sweetheart!!!"
"Now that sounds like the Pixie I know." He replied fondly. "Well, if we don't have anything else to do here, maybe we can go back to the castle and curse all the toilets into erupting or something..." he and I were the only ones that laughed. Faye and Remus just exchanged worried glances. We had just gotten up, and were about to leave, when Aimee ran over.
"Kailani, I am so sorry!!!" she exclaimed as she enveloped me in a hug. "If it makes you feel any better Kai, my mom sends me those all of the time. I just leave them to explode in the teacher's lounge..." she continued with a huge grin on her face. She finally let go of me, and backed up a bit. She looked over our little group. "Ah yes, hello Remus, Kat-thing." She said carelessly nodding her head at them in turn. "Oh, hello Sirius!!!" She purred at him, grinned, and winked suggestively. That struck a nerve inside of me. I moved closer to Sirius, and leaned back against his chest. Aimee cocked a brow at me, then waved, and walked away. "I'll catch ya later pipsqueak, when you're alone. Later!!!"
I glared at her retreating back. I suddenly remembered that I was leaning against Sirius, and turned a bright red. I got off of him, and started walking in the direction of the castle. I felt an arm intertwine itself with mine, and looked to see Faye with a wicked grin on her face. I grinned back at her, and we started to skip, singing our demented version of "London Bridges again".
We reached the common room quicker than expected. Faye went straight to our dormitory to get a book and sat down to study with Remus. Sirius wandered off to do some stupid thing of another with James (who we had found stalking Lily, Emily, and Katharine.) I had nothing to do though. However, when I reached in my pocket, I found a note. Aimee must have put it in my pocket when she hugged me. The note read:
KAILANI, I KNOW YOUR SECRET. MEET ME IN FRONT OF THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM AT MIDNIGHT. COME ALONE, UNLESS YOU WANT THE WHOLE SCHOOL TO KNOW OF YOUR SECRET. SEVERUS.
Shit. Shit shit shit. I had no choice but to go. I stormed out of the common room, and headed down to the quidditch field. I really needed to blow off some steam. So, I decided to break into the quidditch shed and 'borrow' and broomstick, bludgers, and beater's bat. It was easy to get into the shed, since they hadn't changed the locks since last year. I was on the team last year. However, they kicked me off when I beat up the Slytherin team captain. It's not my fault; I just don't let anybody touch my arse.
I had been beating around the bludger for about half an hour when, without warning, my thoughts drifted back to my dark-haired knight in armor. I didn't get why he had been so sweet and protective lately. Not to mention considerably more flirty than usual. I blushed at the thought. I certainly didn't mind the extra attention. I mean, if he kept it up long enough, I might work up enough courage to ask him out. It really was a funny thought. I wasn't scared of anything, not even death, but I was afraid of him saying no. I mean it's only a word after all. I was so deep in thought that I didn't even notice the bludger flying towards me.
I screamed and ducked my head, but I somebody hit it before it could hit me. I looked up and meekly opened my eyes. James sat there; bat in hand, bludger under arm, and grinning. I grinned weakly back at him.
"Uhh...thanks James. You just saved me from a trip to the hospital wing..."
"No problem. Anything for my little sister!!!" We both laughed at that comment. We actually did look related. It was scary. We both had messy black hair, hazel eyes, and were skinny for our age. People often asked us if we were related. So, we just invented a twisted story, and called each other siblings. It was actually pretty funny.
"So, what were you thinking about that got you so distracted??? I mean you were totally looking in the wrong direction and every thing. What's wrong???"
"Sirius." I blurted out the word before I had a chance to clear my thoughts properly. I promptly turned a bright red after saying his name, and cast my eyes downward. I could tell that James was grinning though, without even needing to look at him.
"Aww Pix, don't tell me that you're falling for him??? Well, I can say that you aren't the only one. Dammit, how is it that he always gets the cute girls??? Well, I can tell you this at least, you're lucky that he isn't here. Right now, he's off brooding somewhere contemplating how to get this really awesome girl that he thinks he doesn't stand a chance with." I could feel my heart drop at his words. I knew that it was too good to be true... "He just doesn't know how wrong he is..." I sharply turned an inquisitive gave at James, who just smirked, and waved for me to join him on the ground. Reluctantly, I followed him. I wanted to know what the hell he was talking about, but I knew that if he wasn't going to tell me willingly, I couldn't get it out of him. The only people that could do that were Sirius and Lily. I contemplated asking him if I could borrow his invisibility cloak, but then I would have to explain my secret, and the Sniv blackmail thing, and I really didn't feel like doing that. So, I kept my mouth shut instead. I would just have to take it later...
Everyone was at dinner, except for me. I wasn't there, partially because I wasn't hungry, and partially because I didn't want to face that asshole. Not any sooner then I had to anyway. Right now, I was on my way up the stairs leading to the marauders dormitory. I knew that way by heart, I was up here a lot to snoop around. And so far, no one had caught Faye and me taking James's cloak. As soon as entered the room, I stuffed the cloak in my bag, and dashed down the stairs. I could hear the portrait hole open just as I reached the bottom step. Perfect timing. I let out an inward sigh of relief. It was only Kitten and Emily. They looked at me funny, and noticed that I was standing on the last step leading to the boy's dormitories. They traded smirks, and then looked back at me. "Now now Kai, what were you doing up there??? Snooping around in dear Sirius's chamber again, were you??? I mean, just imagine if he caught you up there. What do you think would be going through his mind hmm???" inquired Emily teasingly. I caught the double meaning to her statement, and bushed a dark red. I had been doing that a lot lately. Emily and Faye just burst out laughing, and I couldn't help joining them.
"Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm tired. I'm going to bed now. Well, maybe first I'll read my Inu-yasha manga..." Emily trailed off as she headed up the stairs. That was one thing that the three of us had in common. We were all HUGE Inu-yasha fans. We were really pissed that we couldn't watch the anime on TV here.
I looked at Kit, and she looked back at me. Without warning, the two of us burst out laughing. We did that a lot. At first, people had looked at us funny, but now, they were so used to it, that it was like part of a daily routine.
"Well, unlike Em, I think that I am going to read a little bit. I mean, it's only 10-o-clock..." She summoned the book "Loamhedge" from her bed, and curled up in a chair to read. I sat on the arm of her chair, reading over her shoulder. We didn't even notice the rest of the Gryffindors come in until they began to bid us goodnight. I had to admit, for third years, our group was pretty popular.
At about 11:45, Kitten shut the book in my face. I glared good-naturedly at her, and she just yawned in response.
"I don't know how you can stay up this late Kai, but I am going to bed. I'll see you in the morning!!!" she stumbled up the stairs, waving absently over her shoulder. Now everyone was out of the common room. It was just what I had been waiting for. I silently slipped out of the tower, and pulled on the cloak.
I was just about at the Slytherin common room entrance, when I realized that I had forgotten my wand. Damn, now I had nothing except my fists to defend myself if he tried something stupid. Cursing myself for my stupidity, I stepped into a shadow and slipped off the cloak, then deposited it in a corner. I did not want Snivellus to know that I had access to an invisibility cloak as well.
He was standing there waiting for me as I stepped back out of the shadows. I wide smirk had plastered itself across his face.
"Well well, it's nice to see that you actually showed up. I guess that you are taking no chances at having your secret exposed, now are you???" He purred at me. He was definitely enjoying me being in this predicament. I growled at him. He may have been enjoying this, but I sure as hell was not.
"What the hell do you want Snivellus??? If you're just here to taunt me, you're wasting my time. So just state your demands and I'll be on my way. I don't really want to be halfway across the castle in the middle of the night!!!" Sniv's facial expression got dark immediately. Then he grinned. I shivered, and it wasn't because I was only dressed in a tank top and loose black pajama pants. He cupped my chin in his hand as he answered my questions.
"Well, my sweet Pixie, what am I going to do with you??? I'll tell you exactly what I am going to do with you. I am going to use you as an item for revenge. Revenge on whom you ask??? Revenge on that evil little puppy. In other words, I am going to use you against your own dear Sirius Black. And you want to know how I am going to use you??? Well, it's very simple really. You are going to be my girlfriend. And if you refuse, the whole school shall know of your little 'secret'. That my dear is exactly what I plan to do with you." I drew back from his hand and glared at him. He backed up a step, but he was still grinning that cold smile of his. I was full of rage and frustration. There was nothing that I could do. I couldn't risk him telling everybody. Not only would I be expelled, but I would be in deep shit with the ministry too. Perfect. I only nodded slightly, and answered.
"I hate you Sniv, I really do. Now more than ever. I'll do anything you say, just don't lay a hand on Sirius." Too bad I didn't have my wand. I could have just blasted his memory or something. Damn. Oh well, as long as he didn't try anything really stupid, I could attack him Monday in class and make it look like an accident. Sniv was looking at me carefully, as if trying to see if I was lying or not. He finally finished looking at me, and nodded curtly. Then without another word, he strode off.
The walk back to the common room wasn't a fun one. I was beating myself up about being careless the entire way. I was so immersed in calling myself names, that I crashed into the Fat Lady without realizing I was there already. I said the password, and she looked around startled at seeing no one there (I was still wearing the cloak), but she swung open nonetheless.
As soon as I entered the room, I felt myself pinned against the wall. I looked up sharply. There were Sirius and James, looking mad as hell. Shit, they must have found out that the cloak was missing!!! James tried to get the cloak off of me, but I was too fast. I changed into a cat before he could get a grip on me. I tried to bolt towards the girl's dormitories, but Sirius was too fast for me. I was too busy struggling to get out of his arms to even hear James shout the counter curse. The next thing I knew I was in Sirius's arms, and both boys were staring at me bugged-eyed.
"Kai?!?" They both exclaimed simultaneously. I stared at the ground sheepishly, refusing to look at them. I felt Sirius put me down though, and he tilted my chin to make me look up at them. They were staring at me with a look composed of shock and curiosity. James finally broke the ice.
"Well, at least it wasn't Wormtail doing something stupid or something like that. I'll just leave you to interrogate her Padfoot. I'm going to bed." He strode up the stairs, waving absently over his shoulder.
As soon as James left, Sirius sat heavily down on the couch. I sat down softly next to him.
"Why did you do it???" I decided to play dumb. I stared glumly at the floor.
"Do what???"
"What do you think dumbass. Why did you take the cloak??? Why did you decide to take a midnight stroll??? But most importantly, why didn't you tell anyone or take anybody with you??? Do you know how worried I was???" He unexpectedly pulled me into a hug. That was the last straw. I started sobbing into the front of his shirt uncontrollably. He just pulled me into his lap and rubbed my back soothingly. When I was finally able to talk, I told him the entire story. (A/N I would write the thing over, but I am way too lazy....) when I was finally finished, I looked up at his face. He looked like he was going to explode. That scared me more than Sniv's facial expression had. He looked down at me, and his face softened immediately. He nuzzled my neck affectionately, and kissed the tip of my nose.
"Don't worry about him Pixie, I'll take care of him in the morning. I know that it's late now, but I have one more question for you..." I looked up at him wearily. I really was tired.
"When I modify Snivellus's memory, then you wont be his girlfriend anymore, correct???" I nodded, and my heart jumped into my throat. "Well, would you consider being mine instead??? I could be a lot nicer than that git." My eyes shown brightly as I nodded my head. He grinned in response, and held me tighter against him. I leaned into his chest happily. It couldn't get any better than this. Without meaning to, I fell asleep like that. I was just too tired to get up.
That's all for now kiddies!!! In case you are confused, this chapter was written by surfergurl16, and the last chappie (the better one) was written by meheeners. Well, yeah, thatz all. Pleeze be kind and review!!!
