A/N: Hey!!!! I'm back. Thanks to all the people who reviewed while I was
gone. Enjoy!!!
It was pouring rain on the morning of April 27th, and Auria was woken up by the sound of hail hitting the window. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around, Sirius not having bothered to close the velvet curtains after she'd gotten in. The three other beds still had their curtains drawn and the wooden stove in the middle of the room lay dark. Auria raised her head and gazed at Sirius. His breathing was slow and deep, a small smile on his lips. A piece of hair had fallen across his cheek, and with each breath it gently floated up, and then fell back into place. Auria lifted her hand and tenderly swept the hair from his handsome face. Sirius stirred but did not wake, and instead, wrapped his arms tighter around her.
"He's very good looking when he sleeps" Auria thought to herself with a smile.
Painfully lifting herself up she leaned forward and placed a light kiss on Sirius' lips. After watching him for a few more minutes she snuggled into his chest again and went back to sleep.
However, Auria's peaceful slumber did not last long. She was soon awoken by Jacob Imerson, the Gryffindor quidditch captain. He was a tall 7th year with dark brown hair and grey eyes. Jacob was also slightly chubby, which suited him well as keeper.
"James! James Potter" he cried, bursting through the door. "Are you still sleeping?"
A loud groan could be heard from behind the curtains of James' bed.
"We have been waiting for you in the common room for ten min-" he bellowed, but stopped the instant he saw Auria and Sirius. "You're not supposed to be in here, let alone in there" he screeched, jabbing a gloved finger towards a bleary eyed Auria.
"Relax Imerson, we've got our clothes on" Sirius replied calmly, pulling back the blankets to prove his point.
Auria shivered from the sudden cold, so Sirius tucked them back up around her. Jacob gave them a nasty look before turning back to James. He crossed the room in three quick strides and yanked James' curtains back so hard that they ripped and fell to the ground. To everyone's surprise James was lying on his bed, fully dressed in his quidditch robes doodling a name in his notebook. James quickly tried to stuff it under his pillows, but not before everyone, who was now wide awake, saw what it was. The doodled turned out to be a very decorated set of initials, L.E., in different color inks.
"So you've been sitting up here drawing about a girl who hates you?" Jacob asked angrily.
James blushed and sat up.
"She doesn't hate me" he retorted hotly, "and besides it's hailing outside" he pointed out the window, "so I didn't think we'd be having practice."
"Well we are, so get up" Jacob said crossing his arms.
"Alright, alright" James replied with a sigh.
He slowly got to his feet, grabbed his broomstick and was then quickly hurried out of the room by Jacob.
Remus, Sirius, Auria and Peter all looked at each other.
"Stupid git" Peter said, "he's going to get them killed in that weather."
"Dedicated captain though" Remus replied.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Since its only 6 o'clock in the morning, "Sirius began, "I'm going to go back to sleep and enjoy the time I have with my beautiful girlfriend."
He gave Auria a smile and pulled the curtains around them.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 8 o'clock Auria was woken up, this time, by Sirius placing gentle kisses on her face.
"Mmmmm" she moaned softly, and with her eyes still closed kissed Sirius back when his lips found hers.
"You're right" Sirius whispered, softly stroking her cheek, "we should do this more often.
Auria open her bright blue eyes and grinned deviously at him. Putting one hand on his chest and the other on the bed she slowly pushed herself up. Gritting her teeth against the searing pain in her burnt muscles, she managed to get herself up into a sitting position.
"How's your back?" Sirius asked, still lying down.
"Stiff from sleeping" she replied, "but a bit better I think. I've finally had a goodnight sleep" she paused and then added gratefully, "thanks."
"You're welcome" Sirius said and then grinned widely, "will you be back tonight?"
"Maybe" Auria answered slowly.
"But you must, for I am Sirius Black, the magnificently comfortable boyfriend to lie on, and sleep with" he replied, raising his eyebrows playfully.
A snort of laughter could be heard from the next bed. Sirius pulled back the curtains just in time to see Remus stride across the room in his cloak and a top hat.
"I am Sirius the magnificent" he said dramatically, pulling the cloak up over his mouth and nose, and then whipping behind him.
Peter clapped with delight.
"Oh shut up" Sirius replied, throwing a pillow at his friend.
"I'd better go and get dressed" Auria said laughing as she headed towards the door.
"Alright" Sirius yelled over his shoulder. He was now chasing Remus around the room with a pillow.
Just as Auria was about to open the door James and Lily walked in. James was soaking wet and covered in circle shaped bruises.
"Look at this" Lily screeched, pointing at James' black eye. "Imerson made them practice in the hail and look what happened."
Her face was almost as red as her hair in anger.
"It's ok Lily, I can heal him" Auria replied pulling out her wand.
While she was healing his bruises James listened to Peter excitedly tell him about Sirius the Magnificent. The instant Auria was finished he began imitating Sirius, who proceeded to chase his around the room with a pillow. The girls both watched and sighed in unison.
"Really worried there weren't you Lily?" Sirius asked playfully as he smacked James on the head with the pillow, sending feathers flying across the room.
Lily blushed and looked at the floor. Then, thinking of a comeback she looked up again and glared at Sirius.
"Shut up Black, you're so immature" she spat, and with that turned on her heel and stomped out of the room.
"But at least I'm magnificent" Sirius called after her, sending everyone else into a fit of laughter.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite the morning fun, Auria spent the rest of the day miserable. Her back hurt so much that she was incapable of doing anything herself. At breakfast Sirius had to put her food on her plate because it hurt to stretch her arm, between classes either Sirius or Lily carried her bag and during charms class she was forced to just sit and watch because raising her hand and flicking it sent sharp stabs of pain down her burnt back.
The only bright point was during lunch. The Marauders had all agreed to walk her up to the hospital wing to see Madame Pomfrey. Peter, James and Remus marched through the halls crying "out of the way for Sirius the Magnificent." They had been doing this all day, much to Sirius' annoyance. Auria had been surprise to find that everyone actually moved out of the way when she and Sirius walked by. Being so close to them, she'd forgotten how popular Marauders really were.
They were still shouting out this command when they reached to hospital wing.
Silence you three" Madame Pomfrey shrieked, appearing from behind a bed. She glared at each Marauder with a disapproving look on her face. "I didn't realize that Ms. Jacobs needed four people to escort her to the hospital wing."
"Well you see Madame Pomfrey, it takes one to escort her" Jmaes said in a serious tone as he motioned towards Sirius. "And three to announce that Sirius the Magnificent and his beautiful girlfriend are coming through."
Auria smiled at James' compliment and wit. The Marauders had been trying to make her feel better all day, something for which she was very grateful.
Madame Pomfrey gave James a confused look before yelling, "Get out before I give you all detention," and shooed Remus, James and Peter out of the room. "Alright sit down on this bed" she said gently to Auria, patting the bed beside her.
Sirius helped Auria sit down as Pomfrey headed off to get a potion. He had just undone the first button on her shirt when Sirius heard a snort of laughter behind him. He spun around to find Snape, sitting three beds behind, clutching his stomach with laughter.
"Sirius the Magnificent is it?" Snape sneered, his lip curling into a twisted smile.
"That's right Snivellus" Sirius retorted smoothly. "Magnificient in bed."
In order to help her boyfriend Auria grinned and nodded. Snape opened and closed his mouth several times, but no words came out.
"The only thing you're magnificent at Snivelly," Sirius taunted, "is being a greasy, big nosed git."
Sirius pulled the curtains around Auria's bed and charmed them to turn dark blue.
"That was great" Auria giggled as Sirius turned back around.
He grinned and kissed her. Then, like before, she let him undo her shirt and the bandages. With a small peek down he held her against him while Pomfrey cleaned her wound and applied a red potion to it.
"It seems to be healing nicely" she reported, re-bandaging the burn with a wave of her wand.
"How long will Sniv- I mean Snape be in the hospital?" Auria asked, trying to look as innocent as possible.
"At least until tomorrow. You did a good job on the boy." She menacingly shook her finger at Sirius before storming off. "You can get dressed again" she called over her shoulder.
Sirius helped Auria back into her clothes and together they headed down to lunch.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ahem" Sirius said clearing his throat. "You're in my place."
Jade turned around to face him. Auria and Sirius had just arrived in the Great Hall to find Jade sitting in Sirius' usual place next to Remus.
"Sorry about that" she replied, quickly getting to her feet. She bent down, gave Remus a big kiss and then whispered loud enough for everyone to hear, "I'll see you tonight."
She walked off towards the end of Gryffindor table, leaving a blushing Lupin staring dreamily into space.
"Looks like someone else is magnificent too" Sirius said and everyone, including Remus, burst out laughing.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sixth year Gryffindors were just leaving potions, their last class of the day, when Jacob stopped Auria and Sirius in the hall. He had a triumphant gleam in his eye as he led them towards a deserted hallway.
"Dumbledore wants to see you in his office right now" he gloated. "I think you're in trouble for you little morning sleep together."
"Dirty snitch" Sirius growled angrily.
"Don't shoot the messenger" Jacob said with mock innocence.
He jogged off down the hall before Sirius could say another word.
"We'd better go and face him" Sirius said once he had calmed down, taking Auria's hand and leading her down the hall.
"Could this day possibly get any worse?" she replied sighing.
"I hope not" Sirius answered, giving her hand a gentle squeeze.
Will it, find out tomorrow!!!!
