Chapter 39: The New Years Eve Party part 2
Faith read the letter she held in her hands. Lily and Sarah just looked at Faith as she read the letter. Faith blinked several times after reading the letter. She shook her head as if to wake herself up and then read the letter again pulling the paper tight.
"What is it?" Lily asked leaning forward to look at Faith's face. Faith was pulling the paper so tight that it actually ripped and tore her from her daze. Faith looked between the both of them. Her mouth opened and closed but no sound came out. She didn't appear to be breathing easily either. Faith just stood up and left. Lily and Sarah scrambled for the pieces of the letter.
"Ok 10 galleons says Faith beats the hell out of Sirius." Peter said as James ran a hand through his hair nervously.
"She probably will too." James said sighing.
"Sirius is smart...he'll stay clear of her way." Remus said convincingly. There was a slience which was quickly broken by Peter.
"I'd hate to see Sirius if Faith got her hands on him..." Peter said.
"Would you shut your mouth about it already." James said nervously as he paced back and forth.
"Wonder if we'll need to send him to St. Mungos..." Peter said ignoring James.
"Shut Up!" James hollered.
Sirius laid flat on his back staring up at the stars. He remembered only last year he had laid here with Faith....only he was snuffles and not Sirius. (Remember it's kinda hidden so he won't be bothered there.) Sirius heaved a huge sigh 'I figure by the time school starts Faith will at least be on speaking terms with me. I've just screwed up any chance I ever had with her though. She's going to end up with someone I hate and live in a huge house with a bazillion kids....Oh god...I hope she doesn't end up with Serverus.' Sirius thought and screwed his face up as he thought about Faith and Serverus together. He found the whole idea repulsive. 'No I won't let that happen. If she won't end up with me she's defiantly not ending up with Serverus.'
Faith couldn't believe her eyes when she started reading the letter. Faith put a hand to her head and leaned it up against a stone pillar. She closed her eyes and opened them again when she heard a voice behind her.
"headache?" Serverus asked standing in front of her.
"Not exactly." Faith said running a hand through her hair. Serverus thought for a moment and then said
"guy trouble?"
"That's the one." Faith said snapping her fingers and running another hand through her hair. She sighed.
"Feelings are a complex thing. Make us believe one thing and then jerk us around to make us believe something totally different. To bad you can't just cut them off like you can your hand." Serverus said jokingly. Faith chuckled and murmured
"Yeah."
A hand clapped on Serverus's shoulder. Serverus spun around to see Lucius
"Run along mudblood." Lucious spat at Faith. Serverus turned around to tell Faith she didn't have to go but she was already gone. 'Seemed kind of dazed.' Serverus thought.
"What have I told you about mudbloods?" Lucius hissed into Serverus's ear.
"I don't have to listen to you." Serverus said brushing off Lucius's hand.(yeah Serverus you don't have to listen him!) Serverus walked off leaving Lucius standing there.
"We'll see about that." Lucius hissed softly.
Sirius sat up on his hands as he heard someone draw near. A rustling came from the trees. Sirius watched as Faith emerged. She walked straight up to him, Sirius braced himself for a slap. Faith did something Sirius had only dreamed about. Faith kissed him. ( About Bloody Time)
Lily and Sarah pieced together the remaining pieces of the letter and read:
Dear Faith...
Um..that
sounds so pathetically formal. Yo Faith..no..too stupid
Hello
Faith...to rehearsed...awwww..bugger this.
Well, since I've finally started to try being a bit less of a prat, what's the first thing I can do? Oh yeah...have I ever mentioned I like you? A lot...like might be a mild understatement....ok a large understatement This sounds really stupid coming from me. Well, its not like you're ever off my mind, anyhow. Hell, I even write down on a slip of paper when I think of something really good to say. Trouble is, I don't remember where I've put it...
Oh and by the way, I'm insanely jealous of Severus in case that had slipped past...somehow. I've never known anyone to foam at the mouth like that..well..except for maybe Bellatrix..or Narcissa...or my mother...
Anyways...I've liked...if thats even the correct word for it....you ever since that day we met on the train in our first year, Ever since you gave Lucius that black eye in our third year, Ever since you slapped me in our fourth year and told Professor Putgis he looked like a little penis with a hat on and beat up Mary Finger last year. I learned your different from other girls...I mean I always knew you were but after my horible date with Michelle it dawned on me how truely different you are and how beautiful you are. Did you know you are the only girl in school who laughs with her entire body? With your head thrown back and your shoulders shaking? Did you ever notice how your face brightens up when you smile?
Anyways....I just thought you should know.
Sincerely
Love
Yours Truly,
Sirius Black
"I knew it." Sarah said standing up. Lily just smiled and then quickly frowned.
"God I hope she didn't go and kill him...." Lily said drifting off into thought.
"Have you seen Sirius?" James asked from behind them.
"No....have you seen Faith?..." Lily asked biting her lower lip and turning to face him.
"Uhh....no..." James said shuffling his feet. He saw the remains of the letter in Lily's and Sarah's hands.
"You don't suppose she?" James asked running a hand through his hair.
"God I hope not." Lily said as Sarah ran off to find Remus.
"Having a pleasant time?" A cold steeling voice said behind Lily and it gave her shivers. Lily turned around slowly and said
"Yes...why?"
Lucius Malfoy just smirked and whispered
"It's such a crime that such a beautiful thing is a dirty mudblood." Lily looked at Lucius with anger and hatred in her eyes. Lucius just smirked and then felt a warm hand slap him across the face. Lily's hand stung from the slap but it was well worth it. Lucius touched a hand to his cheek and felt blood on his fingertips. He looked down at Lily's ring and said
"You better watch yourself mudblood." And left.
"That was bloody fantastic..I've wanted to do that all my life!" James said looking at Lily with awe. Lily blushed slightly. That's when the clock struck twelve and everyone began to chant the countdown. As the clock chimed for the twelfth time James was hoping for a kiss. Lily leaned in and granted him one.
(A/N: If anyone has a song they would like to recommend that reminds them of one of the couples then please tell me....NoW also I need to know how it reminds you and it can be any couple at all. Also How did I do with Sirius's letter?)
(Another Note: If you don't know the Only One Yellowcard song here it is: Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one who gets me like you do
You are my only my only one
Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one
