A/N: I bet you're all confused because the first five chapters are labelled: A Shoulder To Cry On. That's because that was the old name of this story, I've updated it now so don't stress, I will edit the old chapters and put in the new name, when I get the time. Anyway, Enjoy the chapter ;D

Last Time:
"I love that hat," Nicky muttered to Bonnie.
"I bet you do."
Sirius came over to the two girls as they beckoned to him.
Everyone sat, Sirius right next to Nicky.
"That was the most disgusting hat I've ever seen," Sirius whispered to Nicky as McGonagall stood to talk again and Snape hurried off to fetch the First-years from their old games- keeper, Rubeus Hagrid, a half-giant, who was an old friend of her mother's.
"Tell me about it," Nicky whispered back. "I wish this would be over so we can eat."
"Amen to that," Sirius muttered, smiling.

Chapter Six: Not My Day.

Students buzzed passed Nicky as she re-read the letter in her hands. The parchment felt so scratchy to her fingers and the words seemed to blur everytime she tried to read it again. There was nothing wrong with her, just the contents of the letter.

Dearest Nicole,
We're sorry, baby, but we've just been assigned a mission over seas, we wont be able to come into Hogsmeade like we promised. Your father thinks we might not be able to make it back for Christmas either, you'll have to spend it at Hogwarts again.
We truly are sorry, sweetheart. We'll make it up to you during the Easter holidays.
Have a good first week, and stay out of trouble.
Loving You Dearly,
Mum and Dad.

Nicky blinked at the paper. He parents we're coming to Hogsmeade, but they had promised. Not that their promises ever mattered, they never kept them. That's what happens when your parents are Aurors.
Someone accidentally hit Nicky in the back of the head.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," They were apologising.
"You jerk, watch where you're g-" Nicky stopped when she saw who the person was.
"Nicky, I'm so sorry," Sirius apologised, running a hand through his unruly hair.
"Sirius?" She mummbled, totally spaced out. She shook her head to regain herself. "I mean, it's alright. Totally my fault."
Sirius grinned.
"We're going to be late for Potions if we don't hurry," He told her.
"Shit!" Nicky exclaimed, tucking the letter into her bag quickly.
"Who was that from?" Sirius asked, pointing to the letter.
"My parents," Nicky told him.
"Oh," Sirius said, turning away.
Nicky raised an eyebrow. "Sirius, are you okay?"
Sirius took a step away from her. "I'm fine," he said, in a voice which wasn't quite his own.
"O-Kay," Nicky said, her voice extending both syllables.
That was weird, Sirius had been kind of freaked out by the mention of her parents.
"We better get going," Nicky said, still shooting odd glances at Sirius, who was staring at his feet.

"I'm telling you, Bon, he was totally weird about it," Nicky said, slapping mashed potato onto her plate during dinner.
Bonnie seemed to be thinking. "It is strange, you only mentioned your parents right?"
Nicky nodded, reaching for a slice of chicken breast.
"Well, alot of people are intimidated by your parents," Bonnie said, shrugging.
"Bonnie, he hasn't even met them."
Bonnie scooped baby peas onto her plate, mouth tilted up in her thinking face.
Suddenly Nicky dropped the gravy spoon. "Do you think this has something to do with his father?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Her mum used to be friends with my dad," someone said behind them.
Both girls gasped ans turned slowly to find Sirius standing behind them.
"How long have you been there?" Nicky asked.
"The whole time," Sirius told her.
Nicky looked at the ground, embarrassed.
Bonnie looked from one to the other, obviously thinking of something to say.
Sirius turned on his heel and walked out of the hall.
Nicky made to go after him, but Bonnie grabbed her by the arm.
"Let him go," She told her, pulling her back into her seat.
Nicky slammed her head against the table.
"This has not been my day."
