Chapter 4
Ta da...fourth chapter. I don't wanna wait so I'm gonna make it the Christmas holidays...about half way through this chapter anyways.
"I so do not." Sabrina said to Lilly and Molly after care of magical creatures class. They were playing in the fresh snow that was up to their ankles. It was all Sabrina's idea.
"Oh you so do." Lilly said, throwing a snowball at Sabrina.
"Yeah Sas...don't deny it." Molly said, ducking a snowball from Sabrina.
"Fine...if I like Black...then Lilly likes Potter." Sabrina said.
"Fine you don't like him." Lilly said. Sabrina and Molly laughed.
"Come on guys...let's get changed before dinner." Molly said. "Last day before holidays."
"What's betting Sas is gonna get presents from the boys?" Lilly asked.
"I'm right here." Sabrina said.
"umm...12 sickles." Molly said.
"Deal." Lilly said, shaking Molly's hand. "If she gets presents from the guys you owe me."
"Ok." Molly said.
"Guys I'm right here." Sabrina said, going between her two friends.
"So?" Lilly asked.
"You're talking about me like I'm not." Sabrina said as they headed up to the common room. Lilly didn't say anything and somehow all three wound up laughing.
They got changed into warm dry clothes then headed to the great hall for dinner. Sabrina was starving, having missed breakfast and lunch that day in order to avoid Sirius. Last week was just a little weird for her.
:Flashback:
"One more week hey Sabs." Sirius said. Sabrina looked at him and nodded. They were sitting next to the frozen lake. "Any news bout your grandma?"
"No...but I'm guessing no news is good news." Sabrina said. She found a rock under the snow and threw it onto the middle of the lake. "Think it's safe?"
"Let's find out." Sirius said, smirking. Before Sabrina could say anything he was pulling her up and onto the lake.
After a while Sabrina found a way to skate around without having skates on so she and Sirius just glided around on the ice, acting like little kids. Sabrina was laughing a lot.
After another while, Sabrina fell over and Sirius hurried over to her.
"You ok?" Sirius asked. Sabrina laughed. "Are you insane?" Sabrina laughed more and allowed him to help her up.
"I'm fine." Sabrina said, smiling. She shivered as a gust a wind blew past them. Sirius pulled slightly closer to him and rubbed her arms to warm them up.
"Think we should go inside now? Before it gets too dark?" He asked quietly.
"I don't know." Sabrina said. She looked up at him and was shocked by the closeness and the lack of urge to move away from him. "What do you think?"
"I don't think you wanna know what I think we should do." Sirius said.
At least he's being honest...for once. Sabrina thought. "Tell me." She said anyways. Sirius put one surprisingly warm hand on Sabrina's face then leaned down and kissed her. It was soft and gentle...and warm. How the heck was he so warm where as she was practically freezing now? Sirius pulled back after a while and looked at Sabrina. She looked at him then suddenly got the feeling back in her legs and just went around him, off the lake and headed inside.
:Present:
Lilly and Molly never found out about that...just like the first kiss. So as the three of them waited for the doors to open so they could get dinner, Lilly and Molly chattered away about stuff while Sabrina looked around.
"Hello Ladies." Too late...there they were...all four of them. It was Remus that spoke. James and Peter were talking and Sirius glanced at Sabrina before looking away quickly. She knew he was probably thinking the same thing as her.
"Hey guys...I need to talk to Sirius alone." Sabrina announced to the group of them. The others all looked at her, including Sirius. "We'll meet y'all inside." Before anyone said anything Sabrina had turned and walked away from the group. Sirius slowly followed, wondering what she wanted to talk about.
Sabrina led him into a closet and did a spell to get light.
"What's up?" Sirius asked. He was back to being himself...he smirked. "You planning on doing something in here?"
"Please...don't flatter yourself." Sabrina said, looking slightly disgusted.
"Then what is it?" Sirius asked.
"Here's something to think about." Sabrina said, moving away from Sirius. "You're the kind of guy who all the girls like but when one of them turns you down you try you're hardest to get her to like you." Sirius shrugged in a way that, to anyone else, would say that he didn't really care but Sabrina knew better and continued. "Here's a news flash for you...Padfoot...It's not gonna work." With that Sabrina left the closet and went to the great hall, found Lilly and Molly near the end and joined them.
"What was that about?" Lilly asked.
"Just giving Sirius a news flash." Sabrina said.
The next day Sabrina sat next to Lilly on the train. Lilly was going home for the holidays as well so they were making plans to hang out since Lilly lived about a 20 minute walk from Sabrina's house. The compartment next to theirs had Sirius, James and Peter, who were going home. Sabrina couldn't help but wonder what Sirius was gonna do. Maybe he was staying with Peter or James. That seemed like the thing that would happen.
"You and your parents are coming over on Christmas right Sas?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah...don't we always?" Sabrina asked. "And you're coming over on Christmas Eve for the party."
"Yeppers." Lilly said, smiling.
"Party? Aren't we invited?" Sabrina and Lilly rolled their eyes and looked to see James, Sirius and Peter standing in the doorway.
"Buzz off James." Sabrina said. She didn't feel like listening to Lilly and James bickering about shit like always.
"Oh...touchy." James said. What the hell was going on? The guys weren't always like this. Sirius had a smug look on his face but Sabrina noticed it was forced.
"You guys aren't invited." Sabrina said. "My dad would kill y'all if you came." Sabrina smirked at the look on James' face. He had met her father before and the meeting wasn't the best one.
:Flashback:
"What now?" Sabrina's dad asked.
"Uh...I need new robes." Sabrina said. "Mine are getting short."
"Ok." Her dad said. They headed to the robe shop. Sabrina got fitted and got her robes in under an hour.
After walking around, looking for a birthday present. Sabrina saw James coming out of a shop. She groaned.
"Well hey Sabs." James said, he always had a knack of seeing her before she could do anything.
"Hi James." Sabrina said, faking a smile.
"Who's this?" Her dad asked.
"Oh...dad...this is James Potter...James...this is my dad." Sabrina said.
"Hi." James said. He didn't notice the way her dad was looking at him. "Well...seeing you here was a treat."
"James." Sabrina said in a slightly threatening tone.
"Well...Mr. Potter...how do you know my daughter?" Her dad asked. Sabrina sighed
"I'm a friend." James said.
"Oh god kill me." Sabrina muttered.
"A friend?" Her dad asked. James suddenly noticed the look he was getting. Sabrina grinned when she noticed that he seemed to shrink down in size as if trying to disappear.
"Well...uh...when I say friend...I don't mean....that....kind of...uh...friend...and....umm...I...she....Uh." James...is stuttering? Oh this was just so enjoyable.
"See you at school James." Sabrina managed to say before bursting into laughter.
:Present:
James and the other two left. Sabrina laughed and told Lilly the story. Lilly couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes.
When they got to the station, Sabrina's parents were waiting for them. They drove Lilly home then went to their home themselves. Sabrina put her stuff away and lied down on her bed. She missed her room; nothing was different from when she left it before school.
"Honey...we're gonna go out for a bit ok?" Her mom called.
"Ok mom...see you guys later...I'm just gonna rest for a while." Sabrina called back. She heard the door open and close and the car drive off. Soon she fell asleep and dreamt about Christmas and the party the day before.
Sabrina was awaken by the sound of barking and something licking her hand. She opened her eyes and sat up to see a big black shaggy dog that looked so very familiar. She also saw her parents.
"We found him wandering the streets. He was shivering so we brought him home." Her mom said.
"He had no I.D or anything so we thought you might like to keep him. You always wanted a dog." Her dad said. Sabrina smiled.
"Thanks guys. He's so cute." She said. The dog sneezed then looked like it was smiling. "I'm gonna call him Snuffles. Not sure why but it suits him."
"Alright dear. We bought a collar and leash on the way back. We're going to go buy the other stuff right now...maybe you can take him for a walk." Her mom said.
"Sure thing." Sabrina said, getting out of bed and following her parents downstairs. Her parents left while Sabrina pulled on her boots, gloves, Jacket and hat. "Come on boy." Snuffles sat perfectly well as Sabrina attached the collar and leash. He didn't pull when she walked him.
Sabrina decided to go to the park. She let Snuffles off the leash and he bounded around before disappearing into the woods. After a while Sabrina followed him.
"Snuffles?" She called. "Where are ya boy? Snuffles." Sabrina gasped...what she was wasn't Snuffles. What she was... "SIRIUS BLACK WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"Easy there Sabs." Sirius said.
"Easy....Easy?? You're telling me to be easy?" Sabrina said. Sirius covered her mouth with his hand but pulled it back when Sabrina bit him.
"I'm supposed to be the dog here." Sirius said.
"WHAT?!" Sabrina yelled.
"Will you just let me explain?" Sirius said. Sabrina took a few deep breaths then sighed and nodded. "Turns out James is going somewhere with his parents for the holidays and Peter's parents don't like me."
"Gee...I wonder why." Sabrina said, crossing her arms.
"Too late to go back to school and I don't wanna go home. Please Sabs." Sirius said.
"Let me think...NO." Sabrina said, she turned and started walking away.
"Ok fine...then you gotta think up something to tell your parents about the missing dog." Sirius said. Sabrina growled then sighed.
"Fine." She muttered. "Turn back into a dog then." Sirius nodded and did what Sabrina told him. She attached the leash then pulled him back to her house.
They got back just before her parents did.
"How was the walk dear?" Her mom asked.
"Great." Sabrina said.
"Good...we were thinking...is it ok if Snuffles sleeps in your room?" Her dad asked. Sirius barked and wagged his tail. Sabrina glared at him. "He seems to like the idea."
"Fine." Sabrina said. She took the stuff from her parents and went up to her room with Sirius following. When she closed the door and started pouring the food into the dish Sirius turned back into a human.
"Your mum's nice." He said. "Don't see how you're related to her."
"Shut up." Sabrina said. "Turn back into a dog."
"Why?" Sirius asked.
"Because my parents don't knock before entering." Sabrina hissed. "If they see you as...well...you...I'll be grounded and you'll be killed."
"So glad to see you care about me." Sirius said. "Can I at least be myself at night?"
"You can be yourself when my parents aren't in the house." Sabrina said. "Now change back...quickly." Sirius sighed and did what she said again. Sabrina sighed this time. "This is gonna be a long Christmas." Sirius barked. "Oh shut up."
