Chapter Five
A.N.- Warning! This chapter may seem a little AU…
" Did I die?"
These were Joscelind's first thoughts and words. After all, white light seemed to surround her and it was deathly quiet.
" No. Nearly, though."
She jumped as she realized Sirius was still with her.
' So much for being dead and in heaven.' she thought sourly as she emerged from under the covers.
" Why are you still here?" she asked rather rudely.
" Do you honestly think I want to go to class?"
" Why wouldn't you? The professors adore you. You're in the top percentage of our year. You play Quidditch. Oh, and all of the girls think you're dashing, but can't stand that you're with Mora. Yeah, I can definitely see why going to class would be so bad." she said sarcastically. " Exactly why are you with my spoiled, stuck up cousin?"
" To please my parents."
" Why? You don't even live with them."
Obviously, listening to Mora ramble about her boyfriend had paid off.
" They already rejected me, yeah. So, I'm trying to kiss up."
" But if they already disown you-"
" I'm only going with her because of Regulus. I don't want them to corrupt him anymore."
" I'm assuming Regulus is your brother." Joscelind while thinking. " He's in the third year, right?"
" Yes."
" He's in Slytherin."
" Yes."
" Why's Andromeda in Slytherin? She seems so nice."
Joscelind didn't realize it until she said it, but she was prying into Sirius's life.
" My whole bloody family was or is in Slytherin."
" You aren't. You're in Gryffindor."
" And that's another reason for my parents to hate me. I don't want to be like them. I could care less about being a Pureblood."
" Well, don't get so uptight. I'm sorry. Really. They sound like my aunt and uncle."
" Yeah."
" So, you skipped all of your classes?"
" Yeah, but it was only because I wanted to make sure you would be okay."
He haughtily got up from his bedside chair and sauntered out of the hospital ward, leaving Joscelind to ponder what had just happened.
A.N.- And, thus ends the first part of the series. If enough of you review, I'll put the second part up faster…Oh, who cares! I'll have it up soon anyway, regardless of if anyone likes it or whatnot. Please review, and thanks to all of ya who have!
