Chapter 2

"Kira? Kira!" She ducked into an old bookshop, away from her aunt's cries.

"You lost?" A voice asked.

"Not anymore." Kira said, turning to face Sirius. She grinned and walked over to him. She kissed him lightly and he pulled her onto his lap.

"Ahhh!" A teenager with messy black hair ran through the shelves and crashed into them. Kira groaned and rolled over.

"James! What the hell are you doing?" She asked.

"Sorry, I just mucked up the Menagerie, and Faith got the blame. She's still being told off, I thought I should hide." James explained.

"Well, I think you should run." Sirius said, brushing himself down and glancing along the hall. James' eyes widened and he scrambled to his feet, but Faith was too quick. She tackled him to the ground and straddled his hips.

"Good luck, James." Kira said, grinning at the scared look on his face.

"Why the hell did you just leave me?" Faith cried.

"Sorry." James said quietly. Faith frowned.

"Well you should be." She got off him. "Now get up and help me with my stuff." James followed her meekly outside to grab her bags.

"Trust James to create chaos." Kira said, smiling at Sirius. He was grinning at her as he moved next to her.

"Now, where were we?"

"KIRA!"

"Fuck." Sirius muttered as Kira hurriedly pushed him off her and stood up to face her aunt.

"Yes auntie Mary?" she asked innocently.

"Who is this? Black? Sirius?"her aunt asked. Kira nodded. "How could you? Have you no thought for Mrs Black? Why him?" She cried, grabbing Kira's arm and pulling her out of the shop.

'Sorry.' Kira mouthed at Sirius, who was glaring at her aunt.


"Remus!" Kira cried throwing herself in his arms. "How was your summer? Where did you go? Was it fun? Tell me!"

"Hello to you to, Kira." He said laughing slightly. "I'll tell you on the train." Kira grinned, and waved to her aunt who was looking across at her disapprovingly.

"Alright, come on. Let's find a compartment." She said, heaving her trunk on the train and dragging it after Remus. They soon found Sirius and James in a compartment and dropped their bags.

"Seen Faith?" James asked, ruffling his hair distractedly.

"No, I thought she'd be with you." Remus said sitting down. Kira sat next to Sirius and pulled her feet up underneath her.

"She'd better come soon, the train's about to leave." Sirius said, draping his arm across Kira's shoulders. Remus raised an eyebrow at them.

"So you're finally together?" he asked.

"Amazing what things can happen over the summer." Sirius said grinning. Suddenly the door burst open and Faith ran in, panting, just as the train started moving.

"You should really try getting here a little earlier, then you wouldn't have to run so much." James said, grinning slightly as Faith collapsed on the floor.

"My trunk is so heavy!" She said. The others snickered. "Stop laughing at me." She humphed.

"I'm sorry Faith, it's just so funny!" Kira said, trying to suppress a giggle. Faith glared. Remus cleared his throat slightly awkwardly.

"Chocolate frog anybody?" he asked.
