Chapter 10

Here's chapter ten. And thanks for noticing my spelling error…kinda doesn't help that I'm writing a Buffy fic and this fic at the same time.


"Oh wake up you lazy ass!" Sabrina said, throwing a slipper at Sirius. Sirius fell off the bed and growled at her. "Quit with the growling." Sirius tilted his head. "Mom and dad have gone out…they won't be back for like 7 or 8 hours."

"Oh." Sirius said, turning into himself. He stood up. "So…how you feeling?"

"A little tired." Sabrina said.

"I bet…heard you moaning and talking in your sleep…you were rolling around as well." Sirius said. "Just like you have been for the last….oh…I don't know really…ever since your grandma died."

"Shows how smart I am huh…sleeping in the same room and bed as you the whole time." Sabrina said. She sighed. "Sorry."

"Don't worry bout it." Sirius said. "I'm used to it by now." Sabrina groaned and put her hand on her head. "You ok?" Sabrina nodded but wound up fainting. Sirius quickly grabbed her and brought her to the bed. After the first half hour he didn't know what to do and decided the best thing to do was to call Lilly who was home for the holidays as well. Sirius picked up the phone and looked at it. "Ok…note to self…get Sabs to teach me how to use one of these things." He put the phone back on the cradle and 10 seconds later it rang. Sirius picked it up.

"Hey." Lilly's voice came through it.

"Uh…hi." Sirius said.

"Sirius? Why are you at Sabrina's house?" Lilly asked.

"Long story but umm…she's unconscious right now. She fainted." Sirius said, still trying to figure out exactly how the phone works.

"I'll be over in a few." Lilly said. "Put the phone down where you picked it up from…right now." Sirius put the phone down on the cradle again and sat on the bed next to Sabrina.

"What are we gonna do with you Sabs." Sirius muttered. Lilly was over in 4 minutes. She didn't knock, just came in and yelled and Sirius told her where they were.

"Poor Sas." Lilly said, sitting on the other side of the bed. "She's under way too much stress." She looked around. Sirius avoided looking at her. "Hey…where's Snuffles?"

"Oh…uh…her parents took him." Sirius said.

"Uh huh…." Lilly said. She went into the bathroom and got a cloth damp then came back and put it on Sabrina's forehead. They waited for a while until Sabrina woke up. "Hey hun..."

"Why are you here?" Sabrina asked, looking from Lilly to Sirius.

"Sirius gave me a call and told me you passed out." Lilly said. "My question is why is he here?"

"Uh…" Sabrina said. "That's a good question…Sirius…why don't you answer that while I go to the bathroom." Sabrina got up quickly and went to her bathroom, locking the door. Lilly looked at Sirius.

"Well…you see…" Sirius said.

"You know what…don't bother…cause I'm pretty sure whatever you say is gonna be a lie." Lilly said. Sirius sighed. The phone rang and Lilly picked it up. "Hello? Hi mom…yeah she just woke up now she's in the bathroom probably being sick. Yeah ok…I'll be home soon…bye." Lilly hung up and looked at Sirius. "Sas really has to teach you about how phones work."

"Yeah I know." Sirius said. Sabrina came out of the bathroom a little bit later. Lilly left soon after and Sabrina and Sirius went downstairs and got something to drink. They watched some TV and Sabrina tried explaining how phones worked. When they heard the front door open Sabrina's eyes grew wide but Sirius was quicker then her and had already turned into a dog.

"How was your day dear?" Sabrina's mom asked, coming down the stairs.

"Fine." Sabrina said.

"No problems?" Her dad asked, following down the stairs. Sabrina shook her head. "Good…why don't you take Snuffles there for a walk?"

"Uh…sure." Sabrina said. She got up and put her shoes on She slipped the collar around Sirius' head and attached the leash before leaving.

As soon as they got around the corner Sabrina took the collar off and Sirius turned back to himself.

"Well…what do you wanna do?" Sirius asked, looking at Sabrina who shrugged. "Shrugging not an answer."

"Uh…" Sabrina looked around. "Hmm…what do you do in an open field at night…" She looked at Sirius and a wicked smirk formed.

"Uh oh…what's that look for?" Sirius asked.

"Oh just…thinking." Sabrina said. "You ever heard of the game called tag?"

"Isn't that when there's someone who's it and they go around touching people and whoever they touch becomes it and there's only one it person?" Sirius asked.

"Yep." Sabrina said. Sirius nodded. "Well then…as long as you know…" She hit Sirius in the arm. "Tag…you're it." Sirius watched as she ran then he quickly ran after her. She was obviously faster then him…as a human. Sabrina didn't put down any rules so Sirius turned into a dog and caught up to her, spun around in front of her and tackled her. He turned human again before he could hurt her.

"Hey…that was cheating." Sabrina said. She rolled them down a hill and wound up on to of Sirius. "This is better."

"I'm not complaining." Sirius said. Sabrina smiled. It was the first time since they found out that her grandmother died that he had seen her smile. "You really need more happy things in your life…I love seeing you smile." Sabrina stuck her tongue out at him before bursting into a fit of laughs. Sirius just laughed because she was laughing.

About half an hour later they were lying side by side looking up at the stars.

"This is ridiculous…we've been in astronomy class for like 5 years and we still can't identify the constellations." Sabrina said.

"Not true…there's the big dipper…and the little dipper…and…the umm…thing." Sirius said. Sabrina laughed. Sirius pulled her closer to him and Sabrina didn't object. "We should be getting home." Sirius started getting up but Sabrina pulled him back down. "Or we could stay here and…look at the sky…" Sabrina propped herself up on her elbows and stared down at Sirius. "What??"

"I don't wanna go home." Sabrina said, resting her chin on Sirius' chest. He looked down at her the best he could. "I wanna stay here." Sirius looked like he was about to say something Sabrina didn't let him…she quickly kissed him. Sirius wasn't sure what to do…all he knew was that somehow he wound up kissing her back. He rolled Sabrina onto her back, moving above her, never breaking the kiss.

His hands seemed to control themselves and soon they were slowly slipping under Sabrina's shirt. However…when she started pulling his shirt out from being tucked into his jeans he stopped kissing her and looked down at her.

"Sabs…we can't do this." Sirius said. They were both breathing heavily.

"Why?" Sabrina asked.

"Because…you're still upset…this is practically like taking advantage of you." Sirius said. "I care about you too much to do that." Sabrina pushed him off her and stood up. "Oh don't bloody act like that." Sirius stood up.

"Act like what?" Sabrina asked, crossing her arms.

"You know what." Sirius said. "Like you're pissed off with me just because…"

"I'm not…" Sabrina said. "Really I'm not…I'm just surprised…"

"Surprised?" Sirius said. Now he was surprised.

"Yeah…I mean…you're one of those guys that have liked me since first year." Sabrina said. "Any other guy would have very willingly gone along with this…but not you."

"Yeah…like I said…I care about you too much." Sirius said.

"Yeah…I know." Sabrina said. She looked at her watch. "We really should be getting back."

"Yeah." Sirius said. They walked together until they go to the corner, then Sirius turned into a dog and Sabrina reattached the leash and they walked the rest of the way to her house like that.

On the train ride back to the castle, Sabrina, Lilly, Sirius and Peter all shared a compartment. It was quite obvious to Lilly and Peter that Sabrina and Sirius probably wouldn't have noticed if they left…at least…not at first. Sabrina fell asleep soon after they left the station and she was leaning against Sirius who had his arm over her shoulders.

"So…obviously you two had a fun vacation." Lilly said.

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked.

"I mean that when we left the school…Sas wasn't really all nicey nice with you." Lilly said. "Then you wind up being at her place…in her room…and on her bed while she's unconscious and when she wakes up she doesn't yell at you…and now this."

"Well…feelings change." Sirius said, shrugging. Sabrina groaned and everyone looked at her but she just moved closer to Sirius.

"Obviously." Lilly said. "Well…James will be happy…for a while now he's been thinking of ways to get you two together…like this…like a couple sorta."

"I don't think we're that…far…or close." Sirius said. Sabrina didn't wake up until they woke her up about half an hour before reaching the castle.

At the school the fifth years were in a flurry with studies for the O.W.Ls that would happen in a few weeks. No couples really had time for each other over the study times. All any couple had time to do together was study.

Sabrina and Sirius had no clue where they stood together and didn't have the time to talk to each other about it.

During a particularly long charms class, Sabrina was nearly asleep when she saw a note land in front of her. Pretty sure she knew who it was from she opened and saw that she was right.

Hey Sabs,

Didn't call ya Brighteyes this time…well I did just now but…ok never mind that. I think we need to talk, don't you? Can you meet me in the astronomy tower tonight at 11? I can borrow James' invisibility cloak and since you have your own then you can use yours. Will you come?

Sirius

Sabrina quickly took out a piece of parchment and wrote down one word before sending it to Sirius.

Ok


I know it's sorta short…I think. But I just wanted to leave it there. I want a lot of reviews for this or no new posts.
