Time and Time Again

Chapter 12: Finding Me

"Riley can we talk for a second?" Charlie asked holding her back from the rest of the group that was heading the Gryffindor common room.

"Um, sure!" She said brightly. "What did you need?" She asked as the group turned a corner.

"I just wanted to do this. . ." He said and before she could ask 'what'. Riley was in complete shock and couldn't push him off for at least a second. Now in that second something completely damaging to the rest of her Hogwarts life happen, Sirius walked up just as he was swooping down for the kiss and didn't stay to witness Riley pushing him off and slapping him.

"I have a boyfriend you git. How could you do that?!?! What were you thinking?" Riley yelled.

"I wanted to do that so I would know if what I fell for you is true." Charlie's voice was small but it was confident.

"Why would you do that if you know we could never have a chance? I love Sirius!" Those words stung him and as he watched her retreating back he whispered, "I love you."

"Sirius? What's the matter man? Eat some bad dinner?" Ed said as Sirius slammed the portrait door and making his way towards the boy's dormitory.

"I shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't have given up all the girlfriends; I shouldn't have given in to my feelings. WHY DID I DO IT?!?!" He bellowed. He sat down on a nearby chair that a first year was sitting in it seconds before.

"What happened mate?" Remus said concerned at his friend crying in to his hands.

"Sirius?" Another concerned voice floated towards them from the portrait hole.

"What do you want, Riley? I thought you would be snogging your new boyfriend in a broom closet?" Sirius sneered.

Riley turned a deep crimson and she flinched at his words. "You saw?"

"What did you think Riley? That you could have a secret affair with him and I wouldn't care if I found out?" He yelled.

"That's not what happened! Can you just listen to me?!?" Riley yelled over Sirius looking desperate for him to listen.

"Why should I? You didn't listen to me!?!" Sirius yelled.

"I BELIEVED YOU!" She yelled putting an emphasis on the word believed. "Charlie! Tell him what happened please."

"Sirius, we both feel strongly for each other, I am asking you for to give her up. We-"

"Charlie! Sirius that's not true!" Riley said to the back of Sirius.

"It's over Riley." He didn't even turn or stop or look at her, he just kept walking up to his dormitory.

"What the hell?" Remus said going to his twin putting a arm around her, giving her a shoulder to cry on.

"He..... kissed..... me...... and..... Sirius...... saw..... but didn't...... see me........ pull away!" Riley said between sobs. Then she stood up abruptly, walked up to Charlie, drew her hand back, and SMACK. That noise echoed through the silent common room. "You worm! You conniving, worthless, ignorant, pitiful excuse for a human being! You say you care about me? That you love me? Then why wouldn't you want me to be happy? I was extremely happy with Sirius! What is it with you? Can you not see that I DON'T LIKE YOU!? Now that you did that you're not even my friend!" She slapped him one more time before turning and going up the girl dormitory.

"Why did you do that?" Remus said too calmly. "She's right, if you did love her then you wouldn't have said those things you said."

"Well I think that everything she said was true." Lily said before going to try to comfort her friend.

"What about you?" Charlie asked the others. "Do you think that I'm worthless, conniving, ignorant, and a pitiful excuse for a human being? Do you think that same as Remus and Lily?"

"I think what Remus said is quite right. I don't think he thinks that you what Riley and Lily thinks you are." Kiki said attempting to stick up for Remus.

"Yeah, your right Kik, Remus couldn't think I'm a worthless human being because he not even human." Charlie sneered. Before anybody could stop them, Peter and James shot two different curses at him, making him black out.

"Leave him." Ed said to everybody's surprise. They did as they were told and went to their respected dormitories to here the woes of both parties.

To everybody's surprise and pleasure Riley bounced right back in a few days. Well she acted like she had. Lily knew better. She knew her life was in shambles and there was nothing she, Lily, could do. Nothing she could say. Charlie sulked around the halls alone. And Sirius wasn't doing much better then Riley. He pulled off the act of course, girls on each arm, smile on his face, and he laughed at every joke Peter said (that's saying something. Hey don't look at me like that! Seth only likes Pete for his body.) the only thing giving him away was the dark circles under his eyes.

"Padfoot, your taking my role in the whole Marauder gig!" Remus said brightly. He finally broke that barrier between Kiki and himself. "I'm the one who's supposed to be tired all the time! Meanie."

"What are you in such a good mood for Moody?" Sirius asked the same bright voice that Remus used, it totally gave him away.

"No reason. I know I should be worried about you and Riley but for some reason I know it'll all work it self out in time."

"You have no reason to worry mate. I'm fine and from what I heard she's fine too. She looks as happy as ever." There was hurt in Sirius' voice as he said the last sentence. "Why aren't Charlie and her going out? That is the reason we broke up isn't it?"

The others threw their hands up in exasperation. "If you don't believe Riley, believe us! She didn't expect him to kiss her and when he did she pushed him off."

Remus said.

"How do you know?" Sirius said getting mad.

"Because I believe her and it is something Charlie would do." Remus said, Peter and James knew he was thinking about what Charlie said about him. Sirius never found out though. I think the others didn't tell him because they were afraid he was going to pull one of his 'pranks' on him.

"Well I have to go meet Lily for our head's meeting. See you, and I hope you get past your ego and go talk to Riley." James said sternly then got up and went out the portrait hole.

"Hey!" Lily smiled brightly as she heard the door of the Head's lounge open and James entered.

"Hey! What have you been up to all day?" James asked poking his girlfriend in the stomach and watched her giggle.

"Riley. I'm really worried about her." Lily said. "I sort of feel bad."

"Why do you feel bad?" James asked tilting his head to one side and pushing a piece of red hair behind her ear.

"Because I'm so happy while my best friend is so miserable." Lily put her arms around her boyfriends neck and kissed him. "Thank you, Mark."

"I'll make a deal with you, every time you call me James I'll give you a kiss, and I won't make you call me a pet name from now on. Deal?"

She giggled and nodded her head yes.

"So what was that thank you for?" James asked twisting her hair around his finger.

"For finding me." Lily simply said.
