When
they came to, they were all in the hospital wing. Sirius, being fine
after somebody had preformed the counter-curse, was sitting by NoL's
bed.
"What happened?" she asked when she woke up.
"All the jinxes knocked you and everybody else out."
"Oh...did we miss the feast?"
"Yeah."
"Rats...how was is?"
"I didn't go..."
"Why not?"
"I wanted to be here when
you woke up."
'Awwww....' NoL thought. "Are the
others awake yet?" she asked.
"No."
"Good.
Come with me."
Sirius followed her up to the Astronomy
Tower.
"I love you, Sirius," NoL told him.
"I
love you, too, NoL," Sirius replied. And then, they kissed.
Remus woke up next. He was fine...nobody was really mad at
him (except for Sirius, who obviously had some trouble jinxing him,
thanks to Adara), so he just got hit with the curses that missed
other people. He went over and sat on the foot of Adara's bed.
"Adara...wake up. Please?"
And she
did...but it was really just coincidence.
"Hi," she
said weakly.
"How are you feeling?"
"Fine."
"Good. I'm sorry about Sirius."
"It's
my fault...I should've waited till he left...where is he, anyways?"
Remus shrugged. "Him and NoL were already gone when I
woke up."
"Good. Let's go up to the Gryffindor
common room...let Lily and James be alone."
"Sirius...it's late. Somebody's probably gonna be up
here soon."
They were sitting on the floor by the fence
around the edge of the Astronomy tower. NoL was leaning her head on
his shoulder.
"Yeah...it's a good thing I found out
Ravenclaw's password for you!"
"You DID? How'd you
do that?"
"Bribed a prefect."
"Good
job...what is it?"
"'Unicorn blood'."
"Yay...let's go."
He walked her to the
entrance to Ravenclaw common room, then kissed her good bye before
walking to Gryffindor common room.
He walked in, quite
content...until, of course, he saw Adara and Remus.
NoL tip-toed (read: floated) up to her dormitory, where her roommates were still up, talking.
"NoL!!" they all screamed when she came in. "Where were you?"
NoL smiled. "Hey, guys! I've missed you!"
"Great," Sha said. "Now cut to the chase: WHERE WERE YOU?"
"Well, I was in the Hospital Wing for a bit because I kinda got in a fight..."
"What?!" Liz asked.
"Adara, Angelique, Sirius, James, Lily, Lupin, and I all got in a fight because Sirius slapped Lupin..."
"So you were in the Hospital Wing all this time?" Sagira asked.
"Well, not exactly..."
"So what happened?" Nakia demanded.
NoL smiled, remembering. "Well, Sirius and I kind of went up to the Astronomy Tower..."
"WHAT??"
And then, of course, NoL had to explain the whole thing.
"Nice," Sha said.
These girls were the first people NoL had told about her crush on Sirius, so they understood how important this was to her.
"Way to go, NoL!" Liz exclaimed.
"You guys should've seen the look on Revenna's face...I hate that girl."
"You should see YOUR face," Sha laughed.
NoL knew she was blushing her head off and such, but she didn't care. She was happy enough to...do something really happy...
"I love Sirius," she said as she flopped down onto her bed.
"OH
MY GOSH NOT AGAIN!" Sirius screamed.
Remus and Adara
looked up from where they were kissing on the couch. Adara cursed.
"ADARA! GO TO YOUR ROOM AND DON'T COME OUT TILL NEXT
SUMMER!!"
"No!"
"GO!!"
"NO!!"
They glared at each other for a while.
"Fine.
Then I'll just hafta yell at your boyfriend in FRONT of you!"
But he never got a chance to, cuz Lily and James walked in,
both all giggly.
"Um...did we just interrupt something?"
James asked, looking around the room.
"AHH!! DOESN'T
ANYBODY HERE HAVE A LIFE?" Sirius screamed. And with that, he
stomped up to his dormitory.
"Sweet," Adara said.
"Now, where were we, Moony?"
