Sirius quickly walked into the Gryffindor Common Room, however it was so noisy in there that Black hurried into the boy's dormitory strait away. He really hoped to pass unnoticed… And as soon as the door was closed, he collapsed on his bed.
He was angry! Angry! Angry! What was with that bloody Slytherin girl?! And Snivelly… he was watching her hexing him all the time!
Black reached for his diary that was lying on a small table by his bed.
'Monday: Rachel Minor… Tuesday: Kerry Mumbley… Wednesday: Clara Hammond,' Sirius gazed at the pages darkly. 'Well, yeah… there was some true in what Melody'd said, but…'
Sirius weakly breathed out a quiet swear.
'Poor Donnie. She must be feeling really down,' he thought.
Sirius hid the diary back. He wished Melody was a boy… That was a strange wish, but if Donnie's twin wasn't a girl he would have at least defended himself and fought back. Girls… He could never raise his hand on a girl, though on the other hand Severus was there as well… so there was still a chance to get his revenge…
He started as the door suddenly sprang open.
'Hey, why didn't you wait for us?' James excitedly looked at Black.
'Yeah, how did it go?' Lupin didn't sound interested though.
'Did you kiss her?' Peter Pettigrew servile voice made Sirius wrinkle.
'Well,' he looked annoyed, 'it was horrible, we had no time to kiss, as her dear beloved twin turned up to save her and I was cruelly hexed and… you want me to continue?'
'No, please,' Remus looked concerned.
'Wait, you mean… is her sister that Slytherin girl with a prefect badge, who has auburn hair and big dark eyes?' asked Peter.
'They are twins, Wormtail!' said Sirius briskly. 'Obviously, she looks just like Donnie!'
'Anyway, what exactly did she say?' James sat down next to Black.
'She called me an evil bastard who enjoys using innocent girls' said Sirius.
'Well, you can't say she was wrong, can you?' Remus laughed quietly. 'You are kind of… our Don Juan De Marco…'
'What about Donnie?' asked James. 'Aren't you gonna do something?'
Sirius turned away for a moment. He'd been bating almost every girl in Hogwarts and only with Donnie Morgan he now seemed to have a problem. But it just happened so that she was the only one, who did mean something to him.
'Yeah, I s'pose,' he suddenly stood up. 'Wait here, Okay?'
Sirius hurried down the stairs into the common Room again. It was still full of Gryffindors, despite the fact that it was already late enough, but e didn't care: Donnie wasn't anywhere in the room anyway.
'Hey… em… Evans,' Sirius tapped a pretty red-haired girl on a shoulder, 'have you seen Morgan? Donnie Morgan?'
'She went to sleep, Black,' Evans didn't even look up at him. 'Leave her alone.'
'Thank you, Evans,' Sirius tried to stay polite, 'but I think I'll decide myself what to do. Dormitory number 7, right?'
Lily stayed silent, but Black already didn't need her answer – he knew he was right. So he quickly moved to the girl's rooms. He knew, there was some protecting spell put upon the stairs, however it didn't work and in several seconds Sirius was already standing before the door with '7th course' written across its top.
For a moment he could feel an odd sucking sensation in his stomach, and he hoped it wasn't fear… though what possibly could he, Sirius Black, be afraid of? After a short pause he opened the door.
(At that very moment in the girl's dormitory...)
Donnie was lying quietly on her bed, all alone in that dark empty room, trying to remain calm and not to smash her bag against the wall. Long arrows of moonlight flew from the window and hit her in the face, cooling down somehow.
Donnie felt abandoned, the afternoon scene was still standing before her eyes. Jesus, it seemed to be so right… with Black kissing her… She couldn't believe everything her dear twin had said. Black was the best guy she'd ever known… so how could he?! Right, he couldn't.
Donnie smiled sadly. She'll probably stay here tomorrow, do her homework, and probably won't go on a date, 'cause it was obviously canceled now.
The door opened and someone came in, Donnie however didn't turn to face the person. It must had been Lily Evans or Tonks or… strange, the steps were too quiet and careful, as if that someone had never been in the girl's dormitory before, or wasn't supposed to come here… but who cares…
'Donnie? Donnie, is that you?' Morgan started with the sound of that voice she loved so much… she suddenly turned around, on her back.
'You're not supposed to be here, Sirius,' she said dully. 'It's out of order.'
'I don't care about it,' he set on his knees by her bed.
'Is there anything you do care about?'
Sirius hesitated for a moment, as if thinking whether to say something that was on his mind for the several past hours, or not.
'You,' said he finally, he could hear her taking a deep breath.
'You know, you're lucky there's no one else here,' Donnie started as Sirius took her by the hand.
'Hehe… well, I guess I am,' Sirius nodded. 'What are you thinking of?'
'Are we going out tomorrow?'
'Yes, if you still feel like it,' Sirius waited in… was it fear? He hoped it wasn't.
'You know, I've never felt so excited before about going on a date,' Donnie smiled softly.
'That makes the two of us,' Sirius squeezed her hand a bit. 'I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast.'
He quietly stood up and walked out into the Common Room. Everything now seemed to be perfect, just perfect.
(At that very moment in the Slytherin Common Room...)
Melody unenthusiastically stared at a row of horrible formulas Severus was writing on the parchment for her. That clearly wasn't her day. The only thought that did cheer her up was that tomorrow it was Saturday and she could go to Hogsmeade…
'Fuck, are you listening to me?' Snape looked up at her in anger.
'Yeah… I still don't understand a thing,' she giggled. 'No offence.'
'I must admit it – you're helpless,' Severus grinned so tenderly that Melody felt scared for a moment. 'I feel good though.'
'Why so?' Melody gazed at him in surprise.
'You've pissed of Black, isn't that something I should celebrate?' Snape leaned back in his chair.
'Hmmm… may be,' said Melody, she wasn't sure.
'I'm telling you, Black is such a…'
'Yeah, sure… if you say so… hey! What the hell was that!?' whispered Melody, just because she had no power to shout – Severus suddenly hugged her and their lips met… then she shut up…
They continued kissing for ages and the world seemed to stop… and somewhere deep in her heart, unconsciously Melody thought that she might have even forgiven Donnie for fancying Black… 'cause it felt so good…
