Author's Note- Hey! Sorry if the last chapter was confusing. So let me just try to clear things up as best I can. Lily said that Sirius shouldn't just be mad at her because it was James that kissed her in the first place. But since she didn't do anything to stop it, she takes some of the blame. But then she tells James that he should be mad at her and not Sirius because she kissed Sirius. She took Sirius by surprise, even though one of them should have said something to James. Get it? Two different kisses, so different people get the blame. Sorry if I just confused you more! Well, now I'm just confusing myself so I'm gonna shut up now. And here is chapter seven...

Chapter 7
Sirius was still unconscious the next day. Madame Pomfrey thought it best to let him sleep until she could lessen the pain. While she was pouring some purple liquid into a little cup, his eyes fluttered open.

"Ah! So you've decided to join the living once again, Mr. Black." Madam Pomfrey said walking over to his bed. "You probably have a severe headache, but it will go away in a few days time. Now don't try sitting up just yet. And take this medicine, it will help for a speedy recovery." she said, handing him the cup filled with a purple liquid.

Sirius slowly drank the medicine, but had to hold in a gag as a horrible taste filled his mouth. He coughed, and then put a hand to his head as a searing pain shot through his head. Then the events of the previous day came flooding back to him.

"Madame Pomfrey?" Sirius said hoarsely.

"Yes?"

"Who won the match yesterday?"

"Gryffindor dear." she said walking into her office. Just as Lily Evans burst into the hospital wing.

"Hi." Lily said, but Sirius ignored her. "Fine don't talk, just listen. You don't know how sorry I am. I can't really believe I even did something like that. People are making you out to be the bad guy, but really it's James and I. I never meant to play you like that. And in a sense I played James too because I never told him that I kissed you. So I was sort of leading him on. You were one of the greatest friends I've ever had, and I screwed our friendship up. I don't know what happened, but when I saw you take that hit, and fall to the ground. Everyone thought you were dead. And I was scared. I didn't know what to think. But here's this. I want my friend back. I want the old you back." Lily said as tears began to stream down her face. Sirius had never seen her look so helpless.

"No you're wrong." he said.

"What?"

"I've been the bad guy the whole time. I shouldn't have made such a big deal about it. You didn't screw up our friendship. I should have been the one to tell James. I knew he fancied you. He has forever. I just didn't want to hurt him. Sirius said sitting up, despite what Madame Pomfrey said. He grimaced but then quickly smiled.

"So we are friends again?" Lily asked smiling.

"When were we not friends?"

"Lily, I'm sorry but you need to leave now. He needs his rest." Madame Pomfrey said, coming out of her office.

"Right. Well, bye. I'll see you back in school." Lily said hurrying to the Great Hall for lunch. Sirius felt a little better, but he was a little disappointed that of all his friends that could have visited him, Lily was the only one who did. But around 6:00 that night another visitor came. Sirius sat up when he saw that it was James.

"I am such an asshole! All I think about is myself when I should have been thinking about how you feel. God, I am so self-centered!" James yelled.

"That's not true. I should've told you! I'm the asshole." Sirius said.

"Then what am I?" James asked, although he should've seen this coming.

"You're the asshole's friend." Sirius answered.

"Yeah I guess so." James sighed. "Well I have to be heading to dinner. I'll see you later." James said leaving Sirius to his thoughts.

About an hour later Remus came in to drop off Sirius's homework and to see if he was alright.

"Ah, reliable Remus is here at last." Sirius said sarcastically. (A/N: Whoa! Try saying that three times fast! LOL!)

"Very funny. How are you doing?"

"Not bad. I just have a killer headache, and now I'm weighed down with homework."

"Sorry, but the N.E.W.Ts start next Monday and this is mostly all review. Trust me you're going to need it." Remus said putting all the books on his bedside table.

"Good game, huh?" Sirius said changing the subject.

"Yeah, that was a good game." Remus agreed. "You scored some awesome goals."

"Yeah, but did you see some of the saves you made? Unbelievable." Sirius added.

Madame Pomfrey came in with Sirius's medicine.

"I'm sorry Remus, but you need to leave, he needs his rest." she said handing Sirius the medicine.

"Sure thing." Remus said.

The next day (Sunday) passed fairly quick. With regular visits from James, Remus, and Lily to take his mind off of studying. Later that day he was released, and he went to the Great Hall to get some dinner before going up to the common room. Peter was the only Marauder still there.

"Hey Peter!" Sirius said sitting down across from him.

"Hi Sirius. I'm glad to see you're feeling better!" Peter said excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm glad I'm back too. It was so boring in the hospital wing." Sirius admitted.

Peter left five minutes later. When Sirius finally decided to leave, he took the long way back to the common room. When he walked through the portrait hole he saw James and Remus sitting in front of the fire.

"Man, where have you been?" James asked.

"Nowhere, just getting dinner."

"Nice to have you back." Remus said, giving him a quick pat on the back.

"Lily wanted to stay until you got back, but she was really tired. Augustine wanted to visit you, but Lily said she should just stay away in case you were mad at her." James added and Sirius nodded. They made their way up to the boy's dormitory, and then they went to sleep. Sirius fell asleep right away. It felt good to be back in his own bed.
I hope this chapter was better, and less confusing for you guys. Don't forget to review on your way out!

Thanks to my reviewers!

lupin-luver-72: Thanks for the compliments, and yeah I catch your drift. LOL. I hope I didn't confuse you more at the beginning of the chapter! Cause I even confused myself. But if you break it down and read it slowly you should get it. (Well, that's what I had to do). LOL! Thanks for being such a wonderful reviewer, and writer!
