At 11 o'clock that night Auria went upstairs to her dormitory room and
pulled out Tommy's cloak. She wrapped it around herself, went down stairs
and then headed up the far staircase towards Sirius' room. After knocking
softly on the door she opened it and peered inside. Sirius was lying on his
bed reading a book. He looked up and grinned when the door opened. Auria
walked into the room and pulled off the cloak.
"Ready to go" she asked, a smile playing at the corner of her lips.
"Yup" he said getting up and grabbing the cloak.
Once it was safely around both of them they headed down to the common room. There were only a few people left inside so it was easy for them to sneak across. As Auria was surveying the room, to make sure no one ran into them, she spotted two people kissing in a corner. The boy moved and she caught a glimpse of light brown hair and a pale face. She gasped, and stopped so suddenly that Sirius nearly dragged the cloak off of her.
"Why did you stop?" he whispered following her gaze.
"Is that?" she asked sounding surprised.
"Remus? Yeah" he replied with a smirk.
"I didn't know he was going out with anyone" she said confused.
"He wasn't until yesterday, when that Jade girl he went to the dance with asked him out" Sirius replied casually.
"She asked him out?" Auria replied, raising her eyebrows as she turned to face her boyfriend.
"Yup" he said with a grin.
"Well then I'm happy for him" she said smiling and then looking over at them again added, "they really need one of these." She tugged gently on the cloak as Sirius suppressed a laugh.
They reached the portrait hole and walked out. James was standing, as had been planned, on the other side waiting for them. "Have fun" he whispered to them with a devilish grin before climbing into the common room.
Sirius and Auria walked through the school until they reached their usual deserted classroom on the second floor of the east wing. Sirius unlocked the door with his wand and they snuck inside. Then Auria did a spell that fogged the glass on the door so that no one could peak in. She turned around to find Sirius standing directly in front of her.
"Hasty, aren't we?" she asked playfully. Sirius simply grinned and silently led her over to the desk at the front. Auria sat down on it and moved her legs apart so that Sirius could stand between them.
"I've missed you," he whispered in a husky voice.
"Sirius, it's only been a week" she replied giggling. "I can't be that good a kisser."
"Best I've had," he said leaning in and giving her a peck on the lips.
"And how many others have you had?" she asked suddenly serious.
"Two. I went out with this girl in third year and all she did was slobber all over me. The other was Amy, that red haired girl in Hufflepuff, that I went out with during fourth year" he explained. "I only went out with both of them for a month and then they became boring. They weren't exactly adventurous, sexy ruler breakers like you " He grinned at Auria and then decided to add in a somber tone, "we only kissed, that's it."
"Good" she replied giving him a mock angry glare.
"And how many other people have you kissed" he asked her.
"One" she replied blushing. "His name was Brendan. He was this muggle boy I went out with the summer after fourth year, just after we moved to Edinburgh. We only kissed too, nothing more."
"Good" said Sirius, leaning in towards her. "I'm glad we have that all cleared up."
"Me too" Auria said smiling, relieved to finally know about his past relationships.
She glanced down at Sirius lips and before she could even look back up into his eyes he kissed her. Almost an hour later, they both always lost track of time when they were making out, they snuck back out of the room. Their lips were puffy from kissing so much and their hair was messy from having the other run their fingers through it. Thankfully, the common room was deserted by the time they got back.
"Goodnight love" Sirius said kissing her one last time.
"Goodnight" she said blushing slightly.
"Wait" she cried just as Sirius reached the staircase. In four quick strides Auria crossed the room and threw she arms around him. Stunned Sirius stood awkwardly for a moment before hugging her back. Finally, after several minutes she let go.
"What was that for?" he asked holding her at arms length.
Auria shrugged. "I just wanted to hug you" she replied. The truth was, she had no idea why she had done it, she had just wanted to.
"Oh ok" he said, still slightly confused. "Anytime you need a hug just let me know, and if you want to hug for longer" he added glancing towards his room with a grin, "you know where to find me."
Auria playfully punched him on the arm, understanding full well what he was implying.
"Goodnight Sirius" she said definitively and walked up the stairs towards her own room.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feeling very tired, Auria quickly changed into her pajamas in the dark and got into bed. She was just pulling the blanket towards her when something sharp hit her hand.
"Ouch" she cried. She grabbed her wand from beside her pillow and muttered "Lumos." Auria's eyes widened in fright and she gripped her sheets as the tip of her wand lit up. There lying on her bed was a black rose with a small note attached. She quickly closed the velvet curtains around her bed and with shaking hands picked up the letter. Auira unfolded it and there in the neat script writing was written,
"Every lord needs a lady, someone with strength, intelligence and power to stand beside him.
Auria glared at the piece of paper, wanting to burn a hole through it with her eyes. She balled it up in her fist, pulled out her trunk and stuffed it inside. After pushing the trunk back under her bed she got up and threw the rose out of the open window. Then Auira slammed the window shut, and for the rest of her time at Hogwarts she never left it open again. A raw burning hatred had risen inside of her and Auria lay in bed for hours thinking of a witty, insulting response to give him. Just as the first rays of light appeared she fell into an angry troubled sleep.
What will Auria's response be? Find out tomorrow!!!
"Ready to go" she asked, a smile playing at the corner of her lips.
