In a matter of moments they had reached the castle. Auria flew by the
common room windows and was relieved to find it deserted. She apparated
inside and carefully let Sirius, James and Remus down on the couches in
front of the fireplace.
"That was great" James said brightly, stretching out his legs.
Remus gave him an odd look. Auria landed on the ground and transfigured back into herself. She walked over to the couches and sat down beside Sirius. As she leaning into him he automatically put his arm around her. The boys continued to talk about their adventure while Auria remained silent.
She had not yet told them about her encounter with the Death Eater at the Bengers. No matter how hard she tried she could not forget the sensation of plunging the knife into his stomach. The feeling as it pierced his flesh and organs. She shuttered slightly. Auria knew that she would have to wait until the morning's issue of the Daily Prophet to find out his name, and whether he survived or not. In the mean time, she did not want to worry the boys about it, especially Sirius.
"Hello Auria, earth to Auria" Sirius said waving his hand in front of her face.
Auria shook her head and sat up.
"None of the Bengers died right?" he asked.
"No" she replied with a wry smile. "You guys were great by the way" she added proudly.
James lowered his head and blushed.
"All of you" Auria said emphatically.
Sirius smiled at her kindness and pulled her in tighter against him. She breathed deeply and closed her eyes, suddenly exhausted.
"I think I'm going to go to bed" she mumbled into his chest a moment later.
"Now? But its only" Remus looked at his watch. "10 o'clock!"
Everyone exchanged confused glances. It was James who said what they were all thinking.
"Where is everyone?" he asked looked up towards the dormitories.
Remus got up and went to check inside the rooms upstairs.
"Well at least now we're alone" Sirius said, lifting Auria's head and giving her a kiss.
Auria closed her eyes and focused on Sirius' soft lips against hers. The memory of the night slowly fell away as Sirius' tongue explored her mouth. She moaned quietly and pressed harder against him.
"Uh hum" James said clearing his throat.
Sirius turned to him, looking slightly annoyed.
"He doesn't mind" Sirius told Auria with a sweep of his hand.
James gave him a sour look, lay back on the couch and sighed.
Sirius and Auria were just about to kiss again when Remus came running downstairs slightly out of breath.
"There's no one there" he panted, "In any of them."
Everyone scrunched up their faces with thought.
"Let's go check if there are other people in the school" Auria suggested.
They all nodded in agreement and headed towards the portrait hole. As soon as they were outside an ear piercing scream shattered the silence. With a nervous glance the four friends took off down the stairs.
A/N: Sorry, I know it's short. But the next one will be good, I promise.
