Wow! It's been awhile since I've updated this hasn't it? LOL! Just so you know some of the flashbacks in this story are not going to go in chronological order. Also things may not happen exactly as they do in the books, mainly because it's been awhile since I've actually read them.

The lyrics are from Evanescence's song Taking Over Me. (can you tell that they're on of my favorite bands? lol!)

Eratosthenese- Tawny goes into hiding mainly just to protect her privacy. She's a famous rock star so she's just trying to avoid paparazzi and sometimes her fans. That's all.

LadyBlackOfAzkaban - If you say so! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sirius stood frozen in the doorway as he and Tawny stared at each other, both wide-eyed, both of their mouth's opened slightly.

'Say something!' A voice in the back of Tawny's head said, 'Oh, like what?' She though, 'Oh, hi Sirius! How've you been? How was Azkaban? Oh, guess what! While you've been locked up for over a decade losing your mind I've become and rich and famous rock star! Oh, and guess what else! I almost got thrown in Azkaban myself! Wouldn't it have been cool if we got to share a cell? Kind of romantic, don't you think?' Tawny was quite certain that wouldn't go over very well.

"Tawny," Sirius said finally walking all the way into the kitchen.

"Sirius," Tawny smiled a fake smile at him, then, without even thinking she slapped him across the face. His dark hair fell in front of his eyes as his head whipped around from the force of the blow. The next thing Tawny knew was she was running.

'This seems oddly familiar...' She thought as she quickly yet quietly made her way through the out the front door of the mansion...

The Summer before 7th year

Tawny bounced her basket ball against the concrete of her driveway as loud music blasted from her radio. She made a basket and heard someone clapping behind her. She turned around and saw Lily, standing there with a grin on her face.

"Hey Tawny," Lily greeted her best friend.

"Hello Lily," Tawny grinned. She turned off her radio and the two redheads walked over to Tawny's front porch and sat down on the swinging bench.

"So, have you though about James' party?" Lily asked, and Tawny sighed, leaning her head up against one of the chains that the bunch hung from.

"Sirius will be there," Tawny stated flatly.

"Half of Hogwarts will be there, I'm sure you'll be able to lose him in the crowd somehow," Lily said impatiently, "PLEASE come! I want you there!" Lily begged. She took Tawny's hand in hers, "PLEASE??"

Tawny laughed, "I feel loved!"

Lily then gave Tawny a sad puppy face, and clasped her hands together, "Pretty please?"

Tawny glared at Lily for a moment, then cracked a grin, "Fine! I'll come! You're a pain in the ass, you know that?"

Lily grinned and said, "I knew you would!"

Later that night Lily and Tawny wound up on James' front porch.

"I shouldn't be here..." Tawny said, staring at the front door as if it were going to spring to life and kill her.

"Don't worry!" Lily said with a reassuring smile on her face as she rung the doorbell, "I hear James invited at least half of the school to this party! I'm sure you'll be able to lose Sirius!" Basically repeating what she had told Tawny earlier that day. Tawny was about to remind Lily that she could rarely 'lose' Sirius at Hogwarts, but the door opened.

Tawny jumped as the door swung open and came face to face with Sirius. Tawny shot a glare at Lily who smiled apologetically and shrugged.

"Tawny, I need to talk to you," Sirius said, coming out on to the front porch and faced her. Lily, meanwhile, slipped into the house, shutting the door behind her.

"Sirius-"

"Wait, just listen to me!" Sirius insisted, he tried to take her hands in his, but the pulled them away from him. Sirius, though looking a bit discouraged, continued, "I've been thinking about you all summer! I can't even begin to tell you what you mean to me! I would never hurt you!"

"How can I believe that, Sirius?" Tawny asked painfully, "You...you put another person's life in danger! I don't care how much you and Severus hate each other, he could have died!"

"I wasn't thinking-"

Tawny cut Sirius off and continued, "How could I have continued dating you knowing that you could have been responsible for another person's death?"

"Tawny!"

"You have to let this go!" Tawny opened the door.

"Wait Tawn..." Sirius said when she disappeared behind the door, slamming it in his face, "Damn it!"

Tawny spotted Lily, Kate, Erin, and James in the living room. Tawny rushed towards them, brushing past several classmates.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU ANWSER THE DOOR?!" Tawny demanded, grabbing James by the arm turning him to face her.

"Nice to see you too, Tawny!" James laughed, amused, "Sirius has been dying to talk to you all day. Anyway, he's been living here since last summer, so why shouldn't he have answered the door?"

"Why's Sirius living here?" Erin asked, looking up at James curiously.

"Have you ever met his mother?" James asked.

Lily, Erin, Kate, and Tawny all shook their heads 'No.'

"If you ever do you'll understand," James said simply.

"Did you talk to him?" Lily asked Tawny.

"Well...yes..." Tawny replied.

"What happened?" Kate asked.

"I ran away from him," Tawny admitted.

"Why?" Erin asked.

"I was scarred!" Tawny whined.

"Of what? Sirius?" James asked.

"What's going on?" Remus asked, walking up to the group curiously, having just arrived at the party.

"I RAN AWAY, OKAY?!" Tawny shouted in Remus' face. Almost everyone in the room had stopped what they were doing and stared over at the group.

"Don't mind her, she's insane!" Kate said, and everyone resumed what they were doing before Tawny's 'small' outburst.

"I just don't know what to say to him, okay?" Tawny looked down at her feet miserably.

Peter Pettigrew ran up to the group, of course not without stumbling once on his way over. "Sirius is coming!" He squeaked.

Tawny felt her face go white as James said, "You'd better think fast!"

Tawny then dove under a table that was covered with a white table cloth and had snacks, pumpkin juice and butterbeer on it.

"That's not exactly what I had in mind!" Tawny heard James shout. She stifled a laugh. This was actually rather amusing, she had to admit!

Sirius walked up to the group, "Have you guys seen Tawny?"

"She was here just a minute ago!" Kate said, pretending not to know where she was."

Sirius sighed, "I really have to talk to her!" He ran his hand through his dark hair.

"And may I ask why you HAVE to talk to my best friend?" Lily asked snootily.

Sirius looked at Lily and said, "Because I'm in love with her."

Everyone stared at him for a minute then they all went "Awwww!"

"And I just thought you wanted her for her body! That's so sweet!" Kate gushed.

"She's under the table!" Peter informed Sirius.

Sirius looked at Peter then at the table.

"TRAITOR!" Tawny snapped from beneath the table.

Sirius looked at Peter again saying, "Thanks, mate."

Sirius then ducked beneath the table and said to Tawny, "Nice hiding spot, Weiland."

"Hi Sirius," Tawny sighed, her legs were stretched out before her as she propped her self up on her elbows.

"So...can we talk now?" Sirius asked curiously.

"Fine," Tawny rolled her eyes, "What do you want Sirius?"

"I love you," Sirius said honestly. Tawny scowled over at him.

"You love yourself Sirius. You only think of yourself," Tawny shook her head, "You've got the world's biggest ego, your stubborn and arrogant-"

This was not the first time He had heard this rant so Sirius continued, mocking Tawny, " 'You spend to much time in front of the mirror, you don't care about anyone else's feelings, you're rude and obnoxious' yes, you've told me before."

"AND," Tawny hissed, glaring at Sirius, "a potential murderer."

"Tawny, shut up about that!" Sirius snarled, "That has nothing to do with us!"

Tawny started to crawl out from beneath the table, but Sirius caught her arm and pulled her toward him and gave her a long, passionate kiss on the lips.

"Will you go out with me again?" Sirius whispered as he looked in to her eyes.

Tawny replied, "No," and then smacked him across the face.

"Ow!" Sirius hissed as he watched her leave.

Have you forgotten all I know
and all we had?
you saw me mourning my love for you
and touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me

Review please!
