Hey, sorry this took so long to update I've been on vacation in France for the past few weeks without a computer. I want to say that I know my chapters are still on the short side but once I write something I can't help it I want to post and not keep you waiting longer while I write more. So without further ado I bring you chapter five of Does Love Really Conquer All. Yay!

Disclaimer: Wouldn't it be wonderful to own Harry Potter? Sadly I don't.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chapter 5: A Change Of Heart

Lily felt the awkwardness intensify but as she gazed up at Sirius' tear stricken face all feelings were pushed aside.

"Sirius what happened, who do you hate," she asked the concern evident on her face.

He chuckled and then broke into a full out back of laughter. Lily was slightly taken aback and just a little scarred. It must have shown for Sirius stopped abruptly.

"My family," he replied simply his eyes blank and his face slackened.

Lily waited expectantly for him to say more, but it seemed as if that was all Sirius wanted to say on the subject.

She continued to press him, "They can't be that bad, come on, everyone gets angry at their parents at some point or another."

Sirius let out another sharp bark like laugh before answering, "Not that bad! You don't know about the four strong pure-blood families do you? Why would you it's not like they teach us this kind of stuff in school or anything. Well, they were the Black's, the Lestrange's, the Malfoy's and the Potter's. All were in Slytherin and they all intermarried with one another. They all have the same ideas; "mudbloods" are the worst, shortly followed by "blood traitors" who support them. Back in the day they all supported Grindelwald, now it's this new Dark Lord person, what's his name.... Voldy something or other."

Lily gasped lightly.

"Well, I don't know the Potter's broke away about a centaury or so ago, but the rest are still the same in their ways, still rich, powerful, narrow-minded purbloods, and mine are the worst of them."

Lily didn't know how to answer or what to say, "But...but you're in Gryffindor!"

"Yeah, I know, they practically disowned me, I've been beat a fair few times as well, the bastards!" Another tear made its way slowly down his face.

Lily was thoroughly shocked, how could this be, Prince Sirius Black! Worshiped by all guys and loved by all girls! Angry tears sparkled in her green eyes and she hugged Sirius tightly taking him by surprise and almost knocking him from the tree. She let go gazing at Sirius and as their eyes met he just couldn't help himself he leaned in silently to kiss her soft lips and she didn't object.

Lily felt his lush lips brush against hers like the wings of butterflies fluttering against them and felt the wetness of his cheeks.

Sirius pulled away his eyes shifting downwards, "I didn't me...I mean I'm really..."

"Shhhh," said Lily gently placing her elegant finger upon his lips, "It's ok." She grabbed her coat and swung from the tree, "I'll see you around Sirius."

He watched as she walked away a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A week had gone by since that eventful afternoon and Sirius could be found sitting in that same tree, thinking.

He had decided not to tell James because he would probably curse his arse and it wasn't like it meant anything anyways, right?

"Knock, knock," he heard a sing song voice say below.

He looked down to see Lily staring up at him worriedly. Sirius jumped down from the tree and fell right on top of her his hand "accidentally" brushing her breast. She blushed and pushed him slightly off of her, but didn't get up.

"Here," she said handing him a small gift wrapped in Happy Christmas wrapping.

"Um...Lily I'm sorry to burst your bubble but it's the middle of July," Sirius said as he cockily smiled his sexy smile.

Lily frowned, "I know that I'm not that much of an idiot but they don't have a "Thought you could use this" wrapping paper. And stopped smiling like that your not going to get into my pants."

It was Sirius' turn to frown, "Is that what you think of me? I'm not as shallow as you might think, I can't help that my smile is completely irresistible." And he smiled again causing Lily to mentally hit herself for agreeing with him.

"Just open it will you," said Lily exasperatedly trying to change the subject.

He ripped of the paper and starred down at a handsome brown leather bound book with a pink pen attached to it.

"It's a journal. I find it helps to write down my feelings and I thought that maybe it could help you with, you know, your family issues. And I just know how much you love pink," she said teasingly.

"Thanks Lil," Sirius said he wasn't quit sure how to react.

"Anyways I got to go, my sister will throw a hissy fit once see realizes I'm gone I'm supposed to be helping her pick out a wedding dress, I'll see you tomorrow" and she gave Sirius a quick kiss on the cheek and ran away down the block.

Sirius sat down against the tree, the spot on his cheek still tingling from where Lily had kissed it. He opened the journal with a very satisfying crack and began to write in a messy scrawl.

(a/n anything in parentheses is crossed out like when you write something and make a mistake.)

(Dear Diary,)

(Dear Journal,)

Hey,

So....um...Lily gave (you) this to me, I'm not really sure what to do, I feel a bit like an idiot right now. So my feelings....I guess I'm feeling um....happy at the moment....don't know why...it's probably because of Lily, she quite hot you know.

Sirius.

He looked down at what he wrote approvingly thinking it was a masterpiece, he smile and almost skipped home.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They spent the next day together in the park, mainly talking, their hands brushing against each other casually as they walked. Both pretended not to notice even thought they both felt their cheeks tingeing a light shade of pink.

When they finally parted ways in late afternoon Lily walk away briskly to her house the pink blush turning furiously read. She hurdled up the stairs to her room eager to consult her diary.

Dear Diary,

I can't believe what is happening! I'm falling for Sirius Black, I never thought this could happen. Maybe all the rumors are that, just rumors. He's so sweet, and hot, and incredibly sexy! I just want to snog him, it's horrible I know! Anyways I'll probably see him soon so I'll keep you posted!

Lily

She looked out her window and saw him lumbering towards his house as sexy as ever and she hugged her journal close to her chest in happiness.

Outside Sirius was in deep thought as he opened the door to his gloomy house. He actually liked Lily, he didn't just want to sleep with her he wanted to BE with her, and frankly it scarred him quite a bit.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yay! I hoped you all liked it, the next chapter will be the last from the summer holidays and will once again be quite big and intense! We will finally find out what Sirius did! I foreshadowed/hinted at it earlier on so the clever readers might be able to find out what happened or maybe you all know I might be very obvious and just not realize it!
