Never Been Forgiven
Chapter Three
Disclaimer: All but this storyline, Anne, Karen and all from Sirius' new school belongs to J.K.Rowling.
I have been having a really hard time deciding what to do. See, my problem is I haven't really got much of a storyline to continue on. So if it takes me weeks on one chapter please don't blame me. *hopeful smile*.
By the Way, a big thank you to my reviewers so far, I hope you keep reading and enjoy my story.

Karen sped around the corner to the entrance to the Senior Common room, only to skid to a halt as collided with Sirius. They tumbled to the ground in mess of arms and legs.
"Argh...My god Sirius!!"
"Karen! What the...?"
"Oomph...just get off me you lazy lump!"
"I'm not lazy" Sirius half-heartedly replied as he slowly untangled himself from Karen.
"No you're just nervous about seeing your old friends..." Karen's voice softened, "Look, if you want I'll go in before you and see if they're still up."
"Nah, it's ok. Guess I'm gonna have to face them sometime." With this he walked the remaining distance to the small circular entrance to the common room, and raised his hand to push open the door, but a hand grabbed his arm.
"Look, Sirius, we've been best friends for years now, and I want you to know that, no matter what, I'll always be here for you." She added as an after thought.
"Of course, I know that."
"I'm just saying..."Karen sighed and took a deep, calming breath, "I'm just saying that if you make friends with them again and you want to go back to Hogwarts with them, I won't hold it against you." She finished very quickly, looking at her feet.
Sirius stepped towards his best friend and gently reached out and lifted her chin so she was looking directly into his eyes. "I won't be leaving you. It doesn't matter to if they refuse to talk to me because I won't return to Hogwarts. You are my best friend and you always will be."
Karen couldn't help the smile that spread across her face at those words. Then a thought struck her, "But Remus? You....you love him, right?"
Sirius looked up, stunned. "I...I...How'd you know that?" He looked thoughtful, "I never told you that, did I?"
"No, of course you didn't. But it's pretty obvious, well to me anyway. It's in your manner, the look you get in your eyes, your in luuuuuuv ." She finished with a smile.
Sirius pouted, "Fine you caught me, but I guess that just makes this whole thing harder. What if he won't talk to me again?"
"I'm sure he will." Karen smiled comfortingly at him, giving him a pat on the shoulder. "Are you sure you don't want me to go in first?"
Sirius grinned and shook his head. Taking a deep breath he turned and gently pushed the door open. Stepping inside, he looked around the senior common room. The walls were painted ebony black with metallic silver writing over them in Elvish. The writing gleamed in the flickering candle light. In the far corner of the room, nearest the entrance to the seventh year dormitories, sat the seventh year Hogwarts students. They seemed lost in their conversation, and if it wasn't for the fact that their seats were placed around the door, Sirius could have slipped up to his dormitory without being noticed.
Karen gave his hand a small squeeze before walking over to the dormitories. She gave the Hogwarts students a small smile as she walked passed them and up to the female dormitories in which Lily and Anne would sleep, while the boys would share Sirius' dormitory. Sirius sighed slightly and followed her toward the two identical dormitory doors.
As head boy he was supposed to welcome them to Lhevon, maybe give them a tour...you know tell them the rules and so on. But all Sirius really wanted to do was get to his dormitory and hide in his corner bed. 'Well,' Sirius thought, 'Here goes nothing.'
He walked slowly and deliberately towards the group. As he came closer he could here snippets of their conversation.
"....I'm almost sure..."
"...How could..."
"...I really don't know..."
Just as he was about to enter the small circle of chairs they had gathered round the door someone called out, "Sirius!" Simultaneously Sirius, James, Peter, Remus, Lily and Anne turned toward the small ginger haired boy who ran up to Sirius panting.
"Danny?" Sirius' eyes widened in surprise. He knew Danny, and Danny only ran when it was necessary. "What's the problem?"
Danny looked Sirius in the eye and said, "It's....erm..." He faded off as he noticed the eyes of the whole common room on him. Sirius prompted him with a look. "It's, well....er....here's your book." After handing Sirius a small black book with silver writing on the spine, he buried his face in his hands and ran up to his dormitory.
Sirius looked at the book. It was his Elvish book (since the school was surrounded by elven history it was essential that every student learnt Elvish). Shaking his head he turned to look at his "friends."
"Sirius?" It was Remus.
Sirius nodded, and smiled nervously, "Hi."
They whole lot of them looked stunned. They'd spent the last three hours convincing themselves that they hadn't seen Sirius, and now, he was standing in front of them.
"Well...erm...Welcome to lhevon!" His grin was nervous, he didn't like the fact that they were all staring at him. He knew he had changed a lot since Hogwarts. He'd lost weight and cut his hair short, but he didn't think he looked that different.
It was Lily who spook first. "It's erm good to see you Sirius." She actually looked frightened of him.
"Er...good to see you too. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go." He began to walk toward the dormitory door. A gasp escaped him as James grabbed his arm and roughly jerked him round to look straight in his eyes.
"Don't try and run from this Sirius." James hissed. "I think we need to talk." His eyes flashed dangerously.
Memories resurfaced of Sirius' past. Dark flashing eyes filled with hate and lust, unwelcome wandering hands. Sirius whimpered and pulled back from James, his eyes wide, pupils dilated. He stumbled backwards and ran to his dormitory where he collapsed on his bed shaking violently. Tears ran down his face and he curled into himself, clutching his blankets close to him.
*(Downstairs)*
James stood, unmoving, looking in the direction which Sirius had ran. He looked around him, at his friends, hoping for answers to the questions written across his face, but none came. They stood staring at each other for what seemed like an eternity before the voice of one of the prefects said that they should go to bed.
Not much was said as they separated and walked slowly to their dormitories, each lost in their own thoughts. The boys entered their temporary dormitory cautiously, looking around at the beds, three of which were occupied. Danny and Derek, who they'd been introduced to earlier were fast asleep, while the figure of Sirius Black was curled up in the corner of his bed with his back turned to them. He seemed to be asleep, so with puzzled looks on their faces the three boys changed and climbed into their respective beds.
None of them noticed the large black eyes that watched the every move closely and suspiciously.

Well? What do you think? Took me ages to write. I've kinda changed my plot about six times through writing it, but I think it's okay. I hope you like it. And please review with your real thoughts, Thanks.
Might be abit longer before the next chapter's up, or it could be mere days! ;-)
