A/N: Hey people! I haven't updated in yonks! Anyway, peeps skool, you might be offended in this chapter if you actually bother to read it... so sorry in advance! Ne way… enjoy!
Chapter 28: The day after…
The day after the disco, the school was buzzing with the cheerful voices of the girls of Hogwarts.
"Look... everyone had to knew it was going to happen!" Marina Sebastian flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder, "Sirius has more taste that to stay with a dirty Slytherin!"
"I know! But now he's free... Lucky for you Marina! I just can't wait for James to break it off with Angel Jameson! She is SUCH a tryhard!" Alicia James smiled, fixing her prefect brown hair up in a clip.
"Come on... We'd better get to Potions... Impious is such an ass..." Marina swung her bag over her shoulder, and gracefully swept down the corridor, with Alicia in tow.
"Bec! Wake up!" Lily shook her best friend back to reality, and grinned in her sleepy face.
"Lily! I was meant to sleep in today! I don't have Impious, and my first class is at 1, Double DADA with Sentinel! Let me sleep!"
"Can't! There's a rumour going round the school I think you might want to hear!"
"Better be good..." Bec hauled herself up, and rubbed her eyes.
"Well?"
"Sirius broke up with Bhagya!" Bec snorted.
"Wouldn't surprise me..."
"And... these appeared by the door this morning when I got up..." Lily handed Bec a huge bouquet of red and pink roses.
"Guy... it's gotta be..." Bec frowned, "Lily! We broke up! He wouldn't want me back!"
"That's not what the rumour says!" Lily replied in a sing song-y voice.
"Rumours are rumours Lily! Unless I see Sirius Daniel Black standing at the door of my dormitory, with a huge box of honeydukes chocolate, and a bunch of roses, saying 'I miss you, I'm sorry, please take me back,' I will not believe a THING!!"
At that precise moment, Frances stormed into the dorm, and collapsed on her bed.
"What's wrong?" Bec looked over Lily's shoulder.
"I am sick and friggin tired of every girl I see telling my about Sirius' damn breakup! And just cause you're my friend, they tell me, and then ask: Does Bec want Sirius back?!" Frances dumped her head back on the pillow.
"And your answer was?"
Frances scowled.
"I know you better than to say yes!"
"Good..." Bec sighed, and got up from her warm bed.
"I'm gonna get dressed..." pattering over to her wardrobe, Bec hauled the door open, and crept inside.
Bec pulled on her pleated skirt, white blouse, red and gold tie, grey jumper, and her warm, black Gryffindor Robes. She grabbed her school boots, Gryffindor scarf, gloves, black stockings, and threw the door open.
In the dormitory, she found Frances ogling the roses Bec was given.
"Who gave you those?"
"Guy..." Bec quickly replied, before Lily could butt in.
"It was not! I still say it was Sirius!"
"Well I still say you're wrong!"
Lily gasped, and feigned offence.
"I'm never wrong!" the girls glared at each other for a while, before they both burst into a fit of giggles.
Bec pulled her shoes on, and was about to wrap her scarf around her neck when a snowy owl flew through the window, and dropped a paper on Bec's Bed.
"Ooh! The Daily prophet!" Bec hurried over, and picked the paper up. But immediately, she wished she hadn't.
Bec dropped it on her bed, and felt her knees weaken. Lily, immediately sensing something was wrong, sprung up, and supported Bec.
"What's wrong?" Bec's lips moved, but no sound came out.
Lily picked the paper up and gasped.
"What is it?" Frances looked up.
"Guy... He's been murdered..."
"What?" Frances' eyes opened wide.
Lily opened the paper, and started reading the article:
"In a recent attack just outside Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, He-who-must-not-be-named struck many students, by luring them into a portal, and murdered them.
Among the many killed were:
Guy Sebastian – Gryffindor
Rob Mills – Gryffindor
Levi Kereama – Gryffindor
Shannon Noll - Gryffindor
Anika Moore-Slytherin
Bhagya Pearl-Slytherin
Jessica Morte-Gryffindor
Annie Gnap-Gryffindor
Veronica Sha- Ravenclaw
Kiara Hunnybunny- Ravenclaw
Alison Lockhart-Slytherin
Monique DeSilva-Slytherin and
Oh My god... Christina Papuan
It is not certain whether He-who-must-not-be-named was after a particular student, but it is certain that he was behind this attack. –Rita Skeeter"
"Oh my god..." Bec sat down on the bed, and a tear slid down her cheek.
"He's dead..."
There was a knock on the door, and Jules Nguyen timidly pushed the door open.
"Um... I'm sorry to disturb you but... There's something I need to tell you... and show you..." Jules handed Bec a letter, and took a deep breath.
"It's about Guy..." Bec looked up, " I'm sorry to have to tell you this but... Guy Sebastian was... cheating on you with me... I was his Ex... and we kinda were getting back together..." Jules stepped back, and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry..." Jules left the room, closing the door behind her.
Bec blinked. Carefully, she opened the letter, with Guy's handwriting on it.
Dear Bec,
Look... It's been great, but we knew it would never last.
I'm sorry to have to end it like this, but you just don't excite me anymore.
I'd rather go back to my Ex, Jules, that spend time with a girl in a year below me.
Goodbye, Don't be surprised if I never remember the relationship we had, because frankly, it wasn't the best.
Guy Sebastian.
"He...He..." Bec's hands scrunched into balls.
"He was cheating on me! He was going to ditch me... B...b...bastard!" Bec wrapped her scarf around her neck, and stormed out of the room.
"Well... at least she's not crying..." Frances shrugged, and she and Lily ran after her.
"Padfoot!" James found Sirius in the library, crossing something off a list.
"You dumped Bhagya?" Sirius didn't look up. He sat staring at his notebook.
"Padfoot?" Sirius blinked, and grinned over at James.
"Sorry... yeah... I still kinda can't believe she's dead though... It's strange... two days ago I was with her, and now..." Sirius shook the thought.
"Hmm..." James mused.
"So What's up?"
"Bored... my next class isn't until one... DADA with Sentinel..."
"Yeah... same..."
"Padfoot...I'm in your class..."
"Oh yeah!" Sirius grinned lopsidedly, "I knew that!"
A few weeks after that day, Everyone in the school has seemingly forgotten the tragedy that had occurred.
James also noted that Sirius seemed to be hiding something, and it greatly frustrated him.
Sirius was curled on the lounge, staring into the fire when Bec, Frances and Lily descended the staircase.
"Lily! For the last time! He did NOT send me those roses!"
"He SOO did! The rumours said so, and who else would?"
"I don't know! As I told you! I will only think he's the one that did, and that he wants me back if..." Bec trailed off when she laid her big, grey eyes on the handsome boy with unruly black hair on the lounge. A part of her sank in pain as she remembered.
Sirius grinned as her, and Bec couldn't help but feel her heart melt slightly
'No!' she scolded herself silently, 'Be strong!'
"If he what?" Frances raised an eyebrow questioningly.
Bec shook herself out of it.
"If he... I'll tell you later..."
"Aww... I wanna know now!" Frances pouted, and stomped her foot
Bec and Lily giggled quietly, and continued over to the portrait hole.
As Sirius captured the last glimpse of Bec's boots, he grinned to himself, and crossed another thing off his list.
James soared around the quidditch pitch, the wind blowing his unruly hair about.
He zoomed down, and skidded to a halt on the lush, green grass, then kicked off slightly, just so he was a metre off the ground.
Marina Sebastian and Alicia James smirked, and sauntered onto the pitch.
"Hi James!" Alicia smiled flirtaciously, tossing her hair over her shoulder.
James looked over and smiled to himself.
"Hi... Alicia... right?"
"Yep..." Alicia grinned.
"So..." James leaned against his broomstick, and looked away.
Alicia batted her eyelashes softly, and took a deep breath.
"James... you know how we've got a Hogsmeade weekend coming up? I was wondering if you'd like to go with me?"
Grinning lopsidedly, James nodded, and started off to the castle
"See ya!"
When James was out of sight, Alica turned to Marina and smirked
"He's SO mine!"
"Right!" Professor Flitwick clapped his hands together eagerly.
"Pair off... boy-girl!"
Lily scanned the room, only to find that she was stuck with the one guy she didn't want... the guy next to her... James Orion Potter.
"Well Potter... I suppose we'd better start..." Lily sighed emphatically.
"Yeah Evans..." James stared at his want, and waited for Lily to upstage him.
"Luna Lucit!" Lily waved her want, and almost immediately, a silvery orb hung in-front of her.
"Oh look everyone!" Flitwick grinned, "Miss Evans has done it!"
James sighed, and looked over at Lily.
She was so perfect.
Lily caught a glimpse of James from the corner of her eye.
James was slouched in his seat, head on his arms.
Lily turned to him, and pocked his arm with her wand.
"Your turn!" Lily forced herself to smiled, and James looked up.
"It's ok..."the bell went, and Lily collected her books, and ran to catch up with Bec and Frances.
"i am SO tired!" Frances yawned, "I can't wait to get back to the dorn and SLEEP!!"
"I can't wait to go to Hogsmeade in 3 days!" Bec and Lily smiled.
"Is it that soon?! Yay!" Frances jumped eagerly, whilst Lily and Bec giggled.
"Calm down!"
Once they'd reached the common room, Lily and Bec headed up the stairs, whilst Frances gathered some patchment she'd left the night before.
Lily pushed open the dorm door, to find a Blonde bimbo reorganising the room.
"Um... excuse me but... Who the hell are you, and what are you doing?" Lily looked at the girl, eyebrows raised.
"Oh... this is my dorm... get out!"
"Sorry, but this is ours, so get bent!"
"No, it's mine! See the note?!" She thrust some patchment at the two.
Miss Sebastian,
Your sleeping arangements have now changed, and due to some concerns from the staff at you getting a room to yourself,
You shall now be sharing a dorm with three other 6th years from Gryffindor, Lily Evans, Bec Stockaz and Frances Liu.
- Professor Dumbledore
"It says you're sharing the dorm..."
"Fine!" Marina turned her back to the two, and continued what hse was doing.
Lily and Bec exchanged glances, and silently started giggling.
"so Bec... whatcha doing tonight?" Lily pulled off her cloak and jumper as she sat down on her four poster.
"I've got a date..." Marina snorted.
"What?" Bec raised her eyebrow, in the way only she could.
"Never mind her! With who?"
"Ryan James... you know... that cute blonde Ravenclaw?"
"Ryan James is an ugly dweeb..."
"No... Ryan James dumped you, and you're just jealous..."
Marina pouted, and continued working.
"Marina? You ready to go yet?" Alicia knocked on the dorm door, and Marina looked up.
"Yeah... you know... she..."She jabbed her thumb at Bec, "Is going out with your brother?"
"Haven't gone out with him yet!" Bec interrupted in a sing songy voice.
"My brother?! He's such a dweeb!"
"I know! Ever since third year!"
"He used to be cool..." Marina and Alicia started down the girls stairs, and Bec ran to the little balcony.
"Just cause Ryan dumped you in 3rd year doesn't mean he's a bloody dweeb! And you have no idea about your brother Alicia James, because all you care about is your looks!"
Sirius' face shot up as he heard that. He looked in Bec's direction with an expressing of puzzlement and hurt on his face.
"R...Ryan James..." Sirius stared at his hands.
"Padfoot... isn't he the bastard that has a reputation of playing, so much so that it rivals ours?" James raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Or yours..." Remus mumbled to himself.
Sirius scrunched his hands up into tight fists
"Yeah... and if her breaks her heart... I'll kill him..."
Two days later, and the day before Hogsmeade, Marina raced into the room, and touched up her makeup, and slipped into her slutty clothes.
"Whoa! Where the hell are you going?" Lily and Bec looked up from their books.
"Not that it's any of your buisiness, but I have a date with Sirius Black!" Bec felt a pang of Jealousy as she mentioned that name...
"Good for you..." Lily rolled her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Hey Rina! Ready to go?"Sirius opened the door, and saw Bec sitting comfortably on her bec, her blonde hair falling lightly in whisps over her face.
"Yeah Siri... oh yeah... that's right... you two used to date!" Marina snorted at the thought, "It was never going to last... Good thing you came to your senses Sirius!!"
"Oh yeah..."Bec stood up, near fuming, whisps of hair falling over her peircing grey eyes.
"Came to your senses to sleep with this whore! Marina, you're nothing but a $2 prostitute, and a bitch!" Bec stormed out, and slammed the door behind her.
Lily and Sirius blinked in suprise.
Finally, the day of the Hogsmeade weekend came, and Lily, Bec and Frances hurredly rushed to be in the first wave of students there.
Pushing through the gates, They lay eyes on the Huge Honeydukes building, where, suprisingly, the marauders were already leaving, pockets stuffed with lollies and alike.
"Oh.. That's disgusting! look at how many sweets they've got!" Lily pulled a face.
"Oh Lilz! Lighten up!" Frances took Lily's hand, and dragged her into the warm shop.
Bec, on the other hand, just kept walking, and wandering around, with a blank expressing on her face.
"Bec!" She heard her name called, and Bec looked over her shoulder, to find Ryan running to catch up with her.
"I'll see you later tonight?" he grinned, and Bec smiled back.
"Ok... 9 alright?"
"Cool... Maybe we can get together for a sundae a bit later?"
"Sure!" Bec smiled, and watched Ryan catch up with his friends in Ravenclaw.
Faintly, she smiled. Ryan was really sweet, and she loved him.
It was then she felt two strong arms pull her into an alley off the main stone road.
"What the hell?" She flipped around, brandishing her wand.
"Sshh... It's just me..." Bec sighed.
"What do you want Sirius?" She leaned against a wall.
"To warn you about someting... Ryan James has a record that's nearly as bad as mine and James. He plays girls, sleeps with them,
and then dumps them... I just want you to..."
"To what? How DARE you Sirius! I can't trust him, but you want me to trust you?! May I remind you of what you said!?
Ryan has a record nearly as bad as mine and James... NEARLY" Bec exploded, "YOU cheated on me, and if he's NEARLY as bad as you, then maybe
we'll just break up, I won't walk in on him about to get busy with another girl! Go to Hell Sirius! I never want to talk to you again!" Bec stormed off,
and nearly smashed the door when she slammed it shut after entering Honeydukes.
"What's wrong?" Lily could immediately see the anger in Bec's face.
"Fuck Sirius Daniel Black! I hope he rots in hell!"
(a/n Harsh!!!! But she's gonna regret saying that!)
At 8:30, the fight with Sirius was still fresh in Bec's mind, but she got ready, and went to the Ravenclaw common room, slipping inside unnoticed to see Ryan.
She heard quiet moaning noises, and the springs creaking on someone's bed coming from Ryan's dorm room, so she opened the door a touch, and peered inside.
Her eyes opened wide with shock, and immediately filled with tears.
Pulling the door shut, she ran out, and collapsed in a nearby classroom, crying her eyes out.
'I thought I could trust Ryan, but he... him and that Whore Marina... How dare he... Sirius was right...' Bec's thoughts turned to Sirius, and she felt a sinking feeling in her stomach.
'I snapped at him... and he was right... he... Oh god...' Bec started sobbing harder, and curled into a ball.
A while later, she emerged from the classroom, tears still dripping down her cheeks, and she stumbled to the Gryffindor common room.
She had to find Sirius...
She had to say sorry...
Sirius thought he heard a soft knocking on the dorm door, and he answered it, shirtless.
Peering through, he saw Bec in a total mess, sobbing outside.
"What happened? What..."
"I'm so sorry! You were right..." Bec cried harder.
"Ssshhh..."Sirius took her in his arms, and brought her into the dorm. He closed the door, and the two sat down on his bed.
"What's wrong?"
"Ryan... you were right... I'm sorry I snapped at you! I'm sorry I didn't trust you! You were the only one that cared, and I was such an idiot!"
Sirius gripped her shoulders, and forced her to look into his deep black eyes.
"What did he do?"
"I walked in on him with... with Marina... they were... doing it..."
Sirius' eyes narrowed.
"I'm so sorry!" Sirius pulled her back into a hug, and Bec was greatful for his warmth and strength.
"It's ok... I forgive you..."
The next morning, Bec awoke with a headache, and two strong, muscular arms wrapped around her stomach.
Her eyes fluttered open, and she saw she wasn't in her dorm...
Slowly, she began to remember what had happened.
"Oh shit..."
(a/n as the evil author I am... I should leave it there... but I won't...)
Although it was against her morals to be with another girls boyfriend, Bec didn't want to leave the warmth of Sirius' arms.
But soon she knew she'd have to...
"Oh Sirius!" Marina opened the door, and her eyes narrowed as she saw another blonde in bed with her Sirius.
"I can't believe it!" Her eyes narrowed to slits, "You're cheating on me with her! She's not even pretty!"
Sirius opened one eye and groaned.
"Yeah... well I'd rather be with a girl that's naturally beautiful, sweet natured, smart, and doesn't cheat on me with her ex!"
Marina gaped.
"That's right! I heard about last night! I hope you had fun in your romp with Ryan Bloody James, cause he can have you! I don't want a whore like you!"
Bec closed her eyes tightly, and waited for Marina to set on her.
"You bitch! You've turned my boyfriend against me!" Marina slapped Bec's cheek... hard.
Sirius untangled himself from their embrace, and lept to his feet, which was a bit of an effort for him, concidering it was morning.
"Do that again, and I'll kill you..." He narrowed his eyes, and growled.
Marina stormed from the room, and slammed the door.
"You OK?" Sirius tenderly touched the red mark on Bec's cheek.
"Yeah... Umm..." Bec sat up.
"We didn't..."
Sirius grinned.
"No... We didn't..."
Bec let out a breath.
"Thankyou Sirius... and again... I'm sorry..."
Sirius pulled Bec in for one more hug, before she turned for the door.
Just before opening it to leave, she ran back, snatched a quick kiss, and ran up to her dorm.
Sirius was left standing in the middle of his dorm, staring dumbstruck at the door.
"Padfoot... what's all the fuss..." James sat up slowly, "What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
"Padfoot?" Remus turned over, and looked at his friend, raising an eyebrow.
Sirius kept on opening and closing his mouth as if he was trying to say something, but the words had gotten stuck.
Bec ran into her dorm, and into the bathroom, locking the door. She summoned some ice, and looked at the hand mark on her cheek.
Gingerly placing it there, she sat down on the closed lid of the toilet, and contemplated what she'd done.
"I kissed him... I kissed Sirius... I...I think I still love him..." millions of thoughts zoomed in and out of her head, and she kept trying to make sense of it all.
Through the locked door, Bec heard the main door to the dorm slam shut, and Marina curse.
"Where the hell is that bitch?! I'm gonna kill her!"
"What the hell are you on about now Marina?" Lily rubbed her eyes as she sat up.
"Oh... so you DON'T know about her little rendezvous last night?!"
"As Lily said... WHAT the FUCK are you on about?!" Frances opened her eyes.
"I walked in on her in Bec with my Sirius! They'd been having a little "fun" last night!" Marina was fuming, and Bec bit her lip. This wasn't how she wanted her friends to find out...
Lily snorted.
"She wouldn't! Marina now I KNOW you're lying!"
"I'm not!" Marina kicked her trunk, "even ask the little whore herself! Or go and see Sirius!"
Frances grappled for her wand on her bedside table, and pointed it lazily at Marina.
"You call her that one more time, and I'll curse you to oblivion!"
Marina stormed out of the room, and the portrait slammed shut.
"Bec wouldn't... she couldn't sleep with Sirius... I mean... only yesterday she was telling us how she wanted him to rot in hell... and she's now slept with him?!" Lily shook her head in disbelief.
"She didn't come back to the dorm last night... She's still not back... for all we know she did..." Frances pointed out.
"I know... you're right... she didn't come back to the dorm last night..."
"I know I didn't... but I wasn't having a late night romp like Marina suggested... I was there for a completely different reason..." Lily flipped her
head to face the bathroom door, where a quiet, high pitched voice was emmerging.
The two girls in bed heard the bathroom door unlock, and Bec stumbled out, holding an ice-pack to her cheek.
"Bec! W... what happened?"
Bec sat heavily on her bed, and launched into the explanation, ranging from when she left to common room, to finding herself locked in
the bathroom, whilst Marina ranted, but she conveniently ommited her kiss with Sirius.
Lily and Frances sat there in subdued silence for a time, and finally, Lily broke it.
"Oh..."
"Lilykins?" James knocked on the door, and walked into the dorm, followed by Remus.
Lily threw a pillow at James.
"Don't call me that!"
"Sorry! but we just want to know if any of you know why Siri... What happened?" James eyed Bec's ice-pack.
"Long story..." James nodded.
"You were saying?"
"Huh? Oh... We wanted to know if you know what's wrong with Sirius... he's standing in the middle of the dorm, completely silent, mouthing things..."
"Bec..." Frances looked at her suspiciously.
"What?!"
James raised an eyebrow.
Lily opened her mouth, but Bec interrupted.
"I know why he's doing that..."
"Care to enlighten us?" Frances leaned against her headboard, "After what I've heard this morning, I doubt this'll suprise me..."
"Well..." Bec took a deep breath, "I kissed him!" James missed the chair he was about to sit on, and fell to the floor.
"You what?" He coughed.
"I...Kissed...Him!" Bec smiled sheepishly.
"I was wrong..." Frances' eyes were wide with shock, "This did suprise me..."
"What... Why?" Remus and James looked at each other, "Only yesterday afternoon, Sirius told us about how you exploded at him, and told him to go to hell! What happened?!"
"Long story short... Ryan shagged Marina, I walked in, Sirius was right, felt guilty, went sobbing to apoligize to him, he hugged me,
I was so upset and tired, I fell asleep in his arms, woke up this morning still there, Marina walked in, assumed I'd slept with him, slapped me,
Sirius threatened her, she stormed out, I got up, hugged him, ran to the door, turned back, kissed him, and ran up here. Locked myself in the bathroom, got an ice-pack, Marina stormed in, ranted on about how I was a whore" James and Lily snorted at this point, "Frances tried to curse her, she left, I came out, told them what happened, and you two walked in!"
James sat in silence, before Lily snidely remarked he should get up off the floor.
"Alright..." James hauled himself up, "Since you started him standing like a statue, care to come and help us fix it?" Bec nodded, and headed down the staircase, and up the boys', carefully opening the door, and entering thier dorm.
Sirius walked over to her, swept her off her feet, and kissed her passionately.
James and Remus peered in, and sighed.
"At least he's moving again..." Remus shrugged, and walked past them to his bed.
(A/N Yay! This is the first step to what a few people wanted... if they're still reading, that was for you Lillianna-Rose and Tigeress61290!!!!!)
"I never thought they'd get back together..." Frances sat suprised on her bed, eyes widened.
"Well they might not... It could just be a one off..." Lily pointed out.
"Maybe..." Frances gasped as she remembered, and pulled out a striking Lime green notebook.
Flicking past the pages on "Operation Giant Squid," Spy code notes, and MATCH games, she snatched up a quill, and dipped the tip in some ink.
And, as Lily looked on suspiciously, she crossed "Sirius & Bec" off her "People I need to get together to make my life complete" list, which was positioned quite comfortably under "Lily & James".
Frances smirked, and thought of the long task ahead.
