Chapter 10
* * * * * *
"Sirius it was no big deal!" Lindsey yelled from halfway across the common room.
"It was a big deal to me. You let Brennen carry your books!" Sirius screamed.
"He helped me! You were late to pick me up!" she replied hotly.
Sirius and Lindsey have been fighting like Gryffindors and Slytherins.
"Follow me. We have to talk!" Sirius said roughly. He grabbed Lindsey's hand and dragged her upstairs.
I looked at James and we exchanged glances. "Should we?" I asked doubtfully.
"Lils, I think the question should be: Shouldn't we?" I chuckled and we ran up the stairs. We stationed ourselves outside the 6th year boys' dorm and listened to the shouting.
"I don't understand why you would let Brennen carry your books!"
"I told you what happened already. You just won't listen for a second!"
* *Flashback* *
(Lindsey's PoV)
I walked out of 7th year Arithmancy. Sirius was supposed to be meeting me outside of the class. My bag was heavy because of all my books and every other bits and bobs. My bag got even weightier, and I felt my bag split. That was just my luck. Now, I had to walk to potions with like 5 books and so many other things. Fortunately, Justin Brennen walked out of the class and noticed my little dilemma. He bent down and helped me pick up all of my supplies.
"What class do you have next?"
"Potions. I have quite a walk don't I?"
"Yeah, you do! If you want, I'll help you with your things," Justin said picking up two of my books.
"Won't you get in trouble?"
"Headboy!"
"Oh, right!" I got up carrying 3 books, all my quills and my potions ingredient case. Justin carried my 2 other books, my 3 rolls of parchment, and 2 inkbottles.
We chatted all the way down to the dungeons. I noticed that Sirius was there already laughing with James and Remus. "Sirius, where were you?" I said over the crowd.
He turned around and frowned the second he saw Justin carrying my books. "Muggle Studies," he said coldly.
It was my turn to frown. "Oh. You know, you had to pass my class to get here! But that's all right." He nodded and turned back to his friends.
* *Flashback* *
"I listened! And I saw that you were flirting with Justin right under my noise!"
"What the hell are you talking about? I did not flirt with him!"
"Yes, you did!"
"If you consider having him carry my books because my bag split flirting, than yes, I flirted!"
"I knew it!"
"I can't believe you Sirius. It's a little thing called sarcasm. When have you lost your humor?"
"I have not lost anything but you!"
"You didn't loose me to begin with. I'm standing right in front of you! Are you a total incompetent dolt?"
"You know what, we're through!"
"What?" Lindsey asked, her voice rising slightly.
"We are no longer a couple!"
"FINE!"
"What just happened there?" I asked looking at James.
"I think they just broke up," he said looking confused.
The door slammed open and Lindsey came out. We stared at her for a moment. "Oh don't pretend you didn't hear anything, and don't look at me like I'm crazy!" she snapped, and walked away.
"Oh wow! I never thought Sirius would let jealousy over come him like this! They were perfect for each other," James said.
"I know! Maybe I should go talk to Linds and you talk to Sirius?"
"Sounds good! I'll see you tomorrow," James replied. He gave me a hug goodnight and I kissed his cheek.
"Night!"
"Sweet dreams Lily," he said slowly.
I ran down the stairs and found Lindsey curled up in a ball by the fire. She was crying her eyes out.
"I-I-I can't be-be-believe he broke up with me," Lindsey sobbed into her knees.
"Aww! I'm so sorry!" I said consolingly while rubbing her back.
"He just got so-so-so jealous," she wailed.
"I know. Everything will get sorted out. Don't worry!"
* * * * * *
(James's PoV)
I stood for a moment with a hand to my cheek. She kissed me. Granted it was a good night kiss, but a kiss none the least. I quickly regained my composure and entered my dorm. Sirius was looking out the window, his hands balled into fists.
"Padfoot?" I said cautiously.
"What do you want?" he said angrily.
"Why did you really break up with her?"
"Brennen carried her books. That's something your boyfriend does."
"But you didn't keep your promise to wait for her. You hurried to Potions claiming you had the perfect prank to play before Alcon comes."
"Still," he said stubbornly, "Brennen knows he'll never have her. Why doesn't he just give up?"
"He was being polite," I said.
"Look I don't want to talk about this anymore!" He changed quickly and went to bed. All through the night, I could have sworn I heard him crying. Serves him right though.
* * * * * *
(Breakfast. Lily's PoV)
"Come on Lindsey! Get up. Have some breakfast," I pleaded.
She sat up and got dressed into a pair of formfitting flare blue jeans and a pale yellow ¾ sleeve shirt. I was dressed already in a pair of formfitting flare black jeans, and a red ¾ sleeve shirt.
"I'm ready," she sulked. We walked downstairs and saw Sirius sitting on the couch with a bunch of 7th year girls. They were all flirting with him and he had his arm around their shoulders.
"Keep walking," I whispered.
"Hey Lindsey. What's up?" Sirius said loudly.
If stares could kill, Sirius would have dropped dead on the spot. Lindsey narrowed her eyes, gave him the finger (A/N: Sorry, couldn't resist.), through her head back and walked out of the common room.
I lingered for a second, shook my head and headed out as well.
"That-that asshole!" she screamed and ran down the many flights of stairs.
"Lindsey, wait!" I shouted running up to Lindsey. When I finally caught up to her, i put my hand on her shoulder and she turned around. Tears littered her face. She was truly upset.
"Why does he have to be such a jerk?" She asked sighing.
"I guess its one of those 7 wonders of the world. Sirius is number 8," i said matter-of-factly.
She smiled a bit and hurried down the stairs to the Great Hall.
* * * *
(Great Hall)
Lindsey sat glumly playing with her bacon. She looked up for a split second and saw Sirius walk in with a blonde-haired blue-eyed bimbo on one arm and a brunette with green eyes on the other arm. James followed him shaking his head and Remus was close behind with a book under his arm.
Sirius looked up and his bright-blue-eyed stare looked into Lindsey's chocolate brown-eyed stare. Tears formed in her eyes and she looked down, once again playing with her bacon. I continued to stare though. I met James's eyes and he simply rolled his eyes in the direction of Sirius. I smiled, and James chuckled. I looked over at Remus next. He looked up and sent a smile my way. I giggled like a little school girl and blushed.
"Hey Lils!" James said taking a seat next to Lindsey. "Lindsey," he said softer.
"Hi James," she whispered.
"Lindsey, how are you?" Remus said taking a seat next to me. His voice too seemed to be calm as usual but incredibly kind.
She shrugged. James rubbed her back, and pulled her into a big hug. She sobbed into his shoulder. All the while, James was whispering consoling words.
Sirius sat down not to far away with about 7 girls around him. Very loudly he said, "Hmm, now which one of you ladies shall I take to Hogsmeade with me today?"
Lindsey broke away from James embrace. She wiped her face with a napkin and put on her determined face. She got up and walked over to the Ravenclaw table. "What is she doing?" James and Remus asked together.
"It looks like revenge," I said knowingly. I know, its a mean thing, toying with someone's heart. She sort of like's Justin, kind of. There is nothing not to like really.
"Hey Justin!" Lindsey said cheerfully as she sat down next to Justin.
"Hi Lindsey!" He replied smiling.
"Uh, Justin. I was wondering if you would like to go to Hogsmeade with me today?" She cooed sweetly.
Justin looked stunned and said, "Re-really?"
"Yeah!" She said confidently while playing with his spiky brown hair.
He gulped and said, "Umm, sure. Of course I would go with you."
"Great! I'll meet you in the Entrance Hall in 20 minutes!" she got up, kissed his cheek and bounced back to the Gryffindor table.
"I've got myself a date!" she said loudly.
Sirius looked over and frowned. Lindsey noticed this, smiled and ate her food.
Remus whispered into my ear, "She still looks sad."
"She is! Her eyes are emotionless," I whispered back. Remus nodded and rested his head on my shoulder.
James looked at Lindsey surprised, and then said, "I have to go visit Bella in the hospital wing. See you later." Yes, I know. When did this happen? We sort of had another fight. She accused me of 'making out with James', when all it was, was a good night kiss on the cheek. She called me a dirty tramp and a punched her in the jaw. She punched me in the nose and I took out my wand and hexed her. That was Wednesday and she's still in the hospital wing. What can I say, don't mess with a Charms expert!
"Bye everyone. I'll talk to you later Lils!"
"Bye Jamie!" Lindsey exclaimed. He blushed and waved. James isn't mad at me thankfully. I would die if he were angry with me. (But why?)
"I have to go. Bye!" Lindsey said getting up.
* * * *
"So what did you and Remus do the whole day?" Lindsey asked smiling.
"A little this, a little that. A little kissing..." I trailed off. I smiled and she squealed.
"How sweet!"
"You and Justin, eh? How was the date?"
"It was okay. Justin was great like usual. Its just not the same...he asked me out."
"And..."
"I couldn't give him an answer," she said frowning. "I wanted to say yes, but instead my eyes teared up and I ran back here."
"Aww, that's too-"i started but was cut off by a scream.
"What the hell was that?" Lindsey said. We got up and ran to the top of the stairs. James was lying in a big heap at the foot.
"What happened to you?" i asked sliding down the slide. Lindsey followed me and helped James up.
"I wanted to tell you something Lindsey!" James said panting.
"Yes?" she said.
"Hard for me to say but here it goes. Sirius got himself a girlfriend," James said quietly.
"Oh, he did. I-uh- which one- who?" she stuttered.
"Brianna Fitzpatrick," James replied pointing to a red head with brown eyes.
"That wench." She ran upstairs crying.
* * * *
(The next morning- James's PoV)
Last night after Lindsey ran upstairs, Lily looked at me and frowned. I remember her asking me how Sirius could do that. All I could do was shrug. She hugged me and went upstairs.
I walked out of the bathroom with a fluffy red towel draped loosely around my hips. "Ugh, I have such a headache," Remus moaned while sitting up in his four-poster bed.
"Is it your time of the month Moony?" Sirius asked stretching. He got up and walked over to me. He was only wearing a pair of dark blue boxers.
"Actually Padfoot, yes. Tuesday is the full moon."
"Hmm. Escapading...fun!" i said smiling.
"Have any of you met my new girlfriend Brianna?" Sirius asked looking around at us.
"We don't want to meet her!" Remus said firmly.
"And why the hell not?" Sirius asked put-out.
"Uh hmm, I wonder," i added.
"If your talking about Lindsey-" he started.
"Of course I am! She's one of my best friends!" i said pulling out my Quidditch jumper. "You better get washed up quickly Si. Practice in a half hour."
Sirius pouted a bit and ran into the shower.
"We definitely have to get through to him," Remus said shaking his head.
"Tell me about it," i said putting on my glasses. "I'm going down to the Quidditch pitch. (A/N: Are you going to flame me if I make James captain? Well, anyway James is captain...not Robert Wood.)
"Have fun!" Remus called after me. I opened the door, shut it and immediately fell into someone. I heard an 'Ouch' and I looked to see who I fell on.
I looked down into the face of Lily Evans. "Uh, hi Lily!" i blushed and smiled.
"Hello James! How are you this fine morning?" Lily asked cheerily.
"I'm fine! Off to the Quidditch pitch. There's practice!"
"I know! Lindsey was getting ready."
"Yeah! Uh-" It turned extremely quiet and my face was about an inch away from her
s. I leaned down and was about to kiss her, but she turned her head and pushed me off.
"I have to go!" She said quickly and ran into my dorm.
I got to my feet, brushed my robes off and sprinted down the stairs. Lindsey was down there already. She was curled up in a ball, her chin resting on knees. She looked up and gave a half-watery smile.
"James."
"Hey Linds," i said sitting down next to her, "let's head to the pitch. A little game of Quidditch should cheer you right up!"
"I guess," she said disheartedly. I got up, and grabbed her hands. She jumped up and we walked out of the portrait hole.
* * * *
(Quidditch Pitch- James's PoV)
"See I told you. The fresh air is good for ya!" I shouted.
"Yeah! You're right!" she exclaimed throwing the quaffle to me.
I through the quaffle to Johnny McKiney who then proceeded to throw it through the hoop that Robert Wood was blocking.
"Good block Rob! Where the hell is Will(A/N: WIll Turner...from Pirates of the Carribean...lol), Meg, and Sirius!"
"Meg's not feeling well, Sirius...well who the hell cares about Sirius. Hopefully he drowned himself in the shower, and Will, I have no idea where that cutie is!" Lindsey said.
"Cutie?" Johnny asked raising an eyebrow.
"You're a cutie too Johnny! Happy now?" she said smiling. I laughed and caught the quaffle.
"Hey guys, and girl!" Will called from down bellow. He was tall with dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and a handsome face. (A/N: Think Orlando Bloom nowadays. You know, the Will Turner look!)
"Hey Will!" Lindsey shouted.
"Hey everyone," Sirius said mounting his broom.
I flew by Lindsey and whispered, "Go for Will! You like Will, right?"
She blushed and said, "Of course I like Will! He's such a sweetie..." she trailed off
.
"Ask him out then," i persisted.
"Do you think he'll say yes?"
"Yah! Of course!" She smiled and grabbed the quaffle from me.
By this time, Sirius was already in the air whacking bludgers and smiling down into the stands at his 'new girlfriend'. Lindsey noticed this, and you can see that she was pissed off. She threw the quaffle at Sirius and hit him square on the back of the head.
Sirius's head jerked foward and he turned around to face Lindsey. "Why the hell did you do that?" he spat.
"Do what?" she asked innocently.
He threw his hands up in defeat and turned around. "You're impossible Laurence!" he yelled.
She frowned and flew away. "Hey Will, have you got the snitch yet?" i said.
"Yep!" he said holding up his hand with the tiny snitch's golden wings fluttering.
"Okay everyone, practice is over. Hit the locker room!"
We all dismounted and walked over to the locker rooms. "Hey Will, wait up!" Lindsey shouted. He turned toward her and smiled.
"What's up Linds? Too bad about Sirius, eh. So are you and Brennen an item?"
"Whoa, one question at a time. Not much. Who cares and no." she said sweetly. I rolled my eyes but smiled despite myself.
"No?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"Nope."
"Oh, well...hmm," he stuttered.
I took this as a hint and said, "He wants to know if you'll go out with him!"
Will looked at me and blushed.
Lindsey twirled a strand of hair around her finger and shook her head yes.
"Cool! I'm done here," i said walking away.
* * * *
(Later- boy's dorm- Lily's PoV)
"She has a what?" Sirius stormed.
"A boyfriend. I mean you moved on, she has the right to move on!" James reasoned.
"NO SHE DOESN'T!"
"Sirius, calm down. You broke up with her for a stupid arse reason to begin with!" I said hotly. Remus sighed heavily.
"Just tell me who, so I can kick their arse!" Sirius said.
"Umm, hmm, well-" James began.
"GET ON WITH IT PRONGS!"
"Will Turner(A/N: Hehe, Will Turner!)," James said quietly.
Sirius stopped pacing and kicked the bed. "Damn it!" he shouted grabbing his foot in agony.
"I'm going to go! Goodnight everyone!" I said. I gave Remus a kiss, and I hugged Sirius, and gave James a handshake. Me and him have been very awkward since this morning's little incident. We didn't tell Remus though. God knows he'd be angry!
I walked out of the room and met Will halfway to the girl's dorm. "I'd watch out for Sirius if I were you," i warned him.
"Thanks Lils! See you tomorrow!" he said.
I smiled and ran up the stairs. I heard screaming by the door. 'Oh gosh. I can only imagine what's happening in there.'
"You stupid wench! I cant believe you would date Sirius so quickly. We broke up yesterday! Yesterday for the love of Merlin!" I heard Lindsey's voice shout.
"Your the stupid wench! You just don't know a good thing if it hit you over the head!" Brianna yelled back.
"THATS IT!" I heard a thud and quickly opened the door. Brianna was on the floor and Lindsey was pulling her hair.
"Break it up!" I pulled Lindsey away from Brianna and was struggling to hold her back.
Lindsey was glaring daggers at Brianna. I let go of her and she went straight to her bed.
* * * *
(Tuesday- Sirius's PoV)
I opened up my desk drawer and saw the necklace I bought for Lindsey. I was still going to give it to her. I missed her like hell! Brianna is just a rebound girl. I'm sure Will is just rebound. He better be rebound. Tonight is the full moon! I can't wait. It's gonna be so much fun! Of course, Moony won't be able to go to classes today. He's so pale and sickly looking. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped.
"Si, a little jumpy are we?" James said chuckling.
"Just a little."
"Miss Lindsey don't you?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"Uh hmm."
"Okay! Changing the subject, how's it going with Lily?"
"Nothing is going with me and Lily."
"Ya sure about that," I said nudging James in the ribs. He blushed and kept walking.
* * * *
(Great Hall- still Sirius's PoV)
I entered the Great Hall with James by my side and Remus on my other side.
I looked at the Gryffindor table and saw Will sitting next to Lindsey. I'm going to kill him. She sat and smiled up at him. I know she isn't truly happy. It's written all over her face.
"Hey sweetie!" Remus said sitting next to Lily. James sat on Lindsey's other side and I sat across from Lindsey.
She looked up and glared at me. "Where's Brianna?" she said curtly.
I shrugged and said, "I don't know. Where's Will?"
"He's sitting next to me, you dolt," she snapped.
"I knew that."
Remus leant behind Lily and tapped my shoulder. "She always did have that affect on you."
"What effect?"
"Making you seem like a moron." He smiled and I punched him.
Remus chuckled while leaning back up.
"I think we should head to class," Lindsey said taking Will's hand and dragging him up.
"Sure," he replied gathering his books and hers. I felt my hands clench into fists as I saw Turner wrap his arm around her wasit.
"A little jealous are we?" Prongs asked shifting over.
"I'm not jealous. Maybe you should go visit Bella!" I replied
James frowned and said, "She's coming out of the hospital wing today." He glanced at Lily and she looked down.
"Well, I'm going to head to class. You coming Remy?"
"Sure!" he got up quickly and walked with Lily hand in hand out of the Great Hall. James eyes followed Lily's retreating back.
"Jealous?" I said sounding like James.
"Shove it Padfoot," he said throwing a bisuit at me.

"So what did you and Remus do the whole day?" Lindsey asked smiling.
"A little this, a little that. A little kissing..." I trailed off. I smiled and she squealed.
"How sweet!"
"You and Justin, eh? How was the date?"
"It was okay. Justin was great like usual. Its just not the same...he asked me out."

"What the hell was that?" Lindsey said. We got up and ran to the top of the stairs. James was lying in a big heap at the foot.
"What happened to you?" i asked sliding down the slide. Lindsey followed me and helped James up.
"I wanted to tell you something Lindsey!" James said panting.
"Yes?" she said.
"Hard for me to say but here it goes. Sirius got himself a girlfriend," James said quietly.
"Oh, he did. I-uh- which one- who?" she stuttered.
"Brianna Fitzpatrick," James replied pointing to a red head with brown eyes.
"That wench." She ran upstairs crying.

(The next morning- James's PoV)
Last night after Lindsey ran upstairs, Lily looked at me and frowned. I remember her asking me how Sirius could do that. All I could do was shrug. She hugged me and went upstairs.
I walked out of the bathroom with a fluffy red towel draped loosely around my hips. "Ugh, I have such a headache," Remus moaned while sitting up in his four-poster bed.
"Is it your time of the month Moony?" Sirius asked stretching. He got up and walked over to me. He was only wearing a pair of dark blue boxers.
"Actually Padfoot, yes. Tuesday is the full moon."
"Hmm. Escapading...fun!" i said smiling.
"Have any of you met my new girlfriend Brianna?" Sirius asked looking around at us.
"We don't want to meet her!" Remus said firmly.
"And why the hell not?" Sirius asked put-out.
"Uh hmm, I wonder," i added.
"If your talking about Lindsey-" he started.
"Of course I am! She's one of my best friends!" i said pulling out my Quidditch jumper. "You better get washed up quickly Si. Practice in a half hour."
Sirius pouted a bit and ran into the shower.
"We definitely have to get through to him," Remus said shaking his head.
"Tell me about it," i said putting on my glasses. "I'm going down to the Quidditch pitch. (A/N: Are you going to flame me if I make James captain? Well, anyway James is captain...not Robert Wood.)
"Have fun!" Remus called after me. I opened the door, shut it and immediately fell into someone. I heard an 'Ouch' and I looked to see who I fell on.
I looked down into the face of Lily Evans. "Uh, hi Lily!" i blushed and smiled.
"Hello James! How are you this fine morning?" Lily asked cheerily.
"I'm fine! Off to the Quidditch pitch. There's practice!"
"I know! Lindsey was getting ready."
"Yeah! Uh-" It turned extremely quiet and my face was about an inch away from her
s. I leaned down and was about to kiss her, but she turned her head and pushed me off.
"I have to go!" She said quickly and ran into my dorm.
I got to my feet, brushed my robes off and sprinted down the stairs. Lindsey was down there already. She was curled up in a ball, her chin resting on knees. She looked up and gave a half-watery smile.
"James."
"Hey Linds," i said sitting down next to her, "let's head to the pitch. A little game of Quidditch should cheer you right up!"
"I guess," she said disheartedly. I got up, and grabbed her hands. She jumped up and we walked out of the portrait hole.
* * * *
(Quidditch Pitch- James's PoV)
"See I told you. The fresh air is good for ya!" I shouted.
"Yeah! You're right!" she exclaimed throwing the quaffle to me.
I through the quaffle to Johnny McKiney who then proceeded to throw it through the hoop that Robert Wood was blocking.
"Good block Rob! Where the hell is Will(A/N: WIll Turner...from Pirates of the Carribean...lol), Meg, and Sirius!"
"Meg's not feeling well, Sirius...well who the hell cares about Sirius. Hopefully he drowned himself in the shower, and Will, I have no idea where that cutie is!" Lindsey said.
"Cutie?" Johnny asked raising an eyebrow.
"You're a cutie too Johnny! Happy now?" she said smiling. I laughed and caught the quaffle.
"Hey guys, and girl!" Will called from down bellow. He was tall with dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and a handsome face. (A/N: Think Orlando Bloom nowadays. You know, the Will Turner look!)
"Hey Will!" Lindsey shouted.
"Hey everyone," Sirius said mounting his broom.
I flew by Lindsey and whispered, "Go for Will! You like Will, right?"
She blushed and said, "Of course I like Will! He's such a sweetie..." she trailed off
.
"Ask him out then," i persisted.
"Do you think he'll say yes?"
"Yah! Of course!" She smiled and grabbed the quaffle from me.
By this time, Sirius was already in the air whacking bludgers and smiling down into the stands at his 'new girlfriend'. Lindsey noticed this, and you can see that she was pissed off. She threw the quaffle at Sirius and hit him square on the back of the head.
Sirius's head jerked foward and he turned around to face Lindsey. "Why the hell did you do that?" he spat.
"Do what?" she asked innocently.
He threw his hands up in defeat and turned around. "You're impossible Laurence!" he yelled.
She frowned and flew away. "Hey Will, have you got the snitch yet?" i said.
"Yep!" he said holding up his hand with the tiny snitch's golden wings fluttering.
"Okay everyone, practice is over. Hit the locker room!"
We all dismounted and walked over to the locker rooms. "Hey Will, wait up!" Lindsey shouted. He turned toward her and smiled.
"What's up Linds? Too bad about Sirius, eh. So are you and Brennen an item?"
"Whoa, one question at a time. Not much. Who cares and no." she said sweetly. I rolled my eyes but smiled despite myself.
"No?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"Nope."
"Oh, well...hmm," he stuttered.
I took this as a hint and said, "He wants to know if you'll go out with him!"
Will looked at me and blushed.
Lindsey twirled a strand of hair around her finger and shook her head yes.
"Cool! I'm done here," i said walking away.
* * * *
(Later- boy's dorm- Lily's PoV)
"She has a what?" Sirius stormed.
"A boyfriend. I mean you moved on, she has the right to move on!" James reasoned.
"NO SHE DOESN'T!"
"Sirius, calm down. You broke up with her for a stupid arse reason to begin with!" I said hotly. Remus sighed heavily.
"Just tell me who, so I can kick their arse!" Sirius said.
"Umm, hmm, well-" James began.
"GET ON WITH IT PRONGS!"
"Will Turner(A/N: Hehe, Will Turner!)," James said quietly.
Sirius stopped pacing and kicked the bed. "Damn it!" he shouted grabbing his foot in agony.
"I'm going to go! Goodnight everyone!" I said. I gave Remus a kiss, and I hugged Sirius, and gave James a handshake. Me and him have been very awkward since this morning's little incident. We didn't tell Remus though. God knows he'd be angry!
I walked out of the room and met Will halfway to the girl's dorm. "I'd watch out for Sirius if I were you," i warned him.
"Thanks Lils! See you tomorrow!" he said.
I smiled and ran up the stairs. I heard screaming by the door. 'Oh gosh. I can only imagine what's happening in there.'
"You stupid wench! I cant believe you would date Sirius so quickly. We broke up yesterday! Yesterday for the love of Merlin!" I heard Lindsey's voice shout.
"Your the stupid wench! You just don't know a good thing if it hit you over the head!" Brianna yelled back.
"THATS IT!" I heard a thud and quickly opened the door. Brianna was on the floor and Lindsey was pulling her hair.
"Break it up!" I pulled Lindsey away from Brianna and was struggling to hold her back.
Lindsey was glaring daggers at Brianna. I let go of her and she went straight to her bed.
* * * *
(Tuesday- Sirius's PoV)
I opened up my desk drawer and saw the necklace I bought for Lindsey. I was still going to give it to her. I missed her like hell! Brianna is just a rebound girl. I'm sure Will is just rebound. He better be rebound. Tonight is the full moon! I can't wait. It's gonna be so much fun! Of course, Moony won't be able to go to classes today. He's so pale and sickly looking. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped.
"Si, a little jumpy are we?" James said chuckling.
"Just a little."
"Miss Lindsey don't you?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"Uh hmm."
"Okay! Changing the subject, how's it going with Lily?"
"Nothing is going with me and Lily."
"Ya sure about that," I said nudging James in the ribs. He blushed and kept walking.
* * * *
(Great Hall- still Sirius's PoV)
I entered the Great Hall with James by my side and Remus on my other side.
I looked at the Gryffindor table and saw Will sitting next to Lindsey. I'm going to kill him. She sat and smiled up at him. I know she isn't truly happy. It's written all over her face.
"Hey sweetie!" Remus said sitting next to Lily. James sat on Lindsey's other side and I sat across from Lindsey.
She looked up and glared at me. "Where's Brianna?" she said curtly.
I shrugged and said, "I don't know. Where's Will?"
"He's sitting next to me, you dolt," she snapped.
"I knew that."
Remus leant behind Lily and tapped my shoulder. "She always did have that affect on you."
"What effect?"
"Making you seem like a moron." He smiled and I punched him.
Remus chuckled while leaning back up.
"I think we should head to class," Lindsey said taking Will's hand and dragging him up.
"Sure," he replied gathering his books and hers. I felt my hands clench into fists as I saw Turner wrap his arm around her wasit.
"A little jealous are we?" Prongs asked shifting over.
"I'm not jealous. Maybe you should go visit Bella!" I replied
James frowned and said, "She's coming out of the hospital wing today." He glanced at Lily and she looked down.
"Well, I'm going to head to class. You coming Remy?"
"Sure!" he got up quickly and walked with Lily hand in hand out of the Great Hall. James eyes followed Lily's retreating back.
"Jealous?" I said sounding like James.
"Shove it Padfoot," he said throwing a bisuit at me.
