A SIRIUS MATTER- CHAPTER 12

Lily Evans had never been madder in her life. Her best friend had betrayed her. She knew her situation and did nothing about it. She didn't care WHAT she had to say, it was inexcusable. She would never forgive Madison, not if her life depended on it.

Madison had never been madder in her life. Lily Evans would never understand. She was a Seer, and with that came responsibility. She couldn't go around messing with the future. Merlin, yes he had it all planned out for her she believed. Lily wouldn't understand until she knew what it felt like. It's not like she was the only one who had lost someone. Madison lost her mother too. Lily wasn't the only one in this situation, and she was sure as hell going to let her know.

Lily and Madison ignored each other the whole week. James and Sirius were stuck in a rut as to how to get them back as friends. Since James was Sirius mate and Sirius was dating Madison, Lily didn't approve of Sirius.

"This is getting insane!" Sirius had yelled at breakfast.

"Well if it's so bloody annoying goes find you another GIRLFRIEND!" Madison yelled. Sirius looked horrified as the thought of Maddie leaving him.

"No way. I love you." Sirius said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

At that point Lily pretended to gag. James rolled his eyes.

Madison turned to Lily, "Jealous that I have a man who loves me and you don't?" She said smirking.

Lily glared. "No. It's bloody disgusting if you ask me."

"It's not like anyone would…." Madison said. Then, hell rose.

"SHUT UP!" Remus yelled. They all were quite. "Lily, Madison REALLY! You are 15 NOT 5! Now Lily, there was no need for that first comment." Remus said. Madison smirked. "And YOU!" He said pointing at Madison. "You had no right to be mean."

"Look around!" Remus said, now getting angry. "You two have torn the group apart! James can't talk to Sirius; Ally can't talk to ANY of you and worse off, I'M SITTING HERE YELLING AT YOU! You are mature enough to WORK this out! You two have been friends for too long to let it go like this!" Remus finished and sat back down, cooling off.

Madison looked around. James and Sirius looked horrible. Ally looked taken back and Lily looked sorry. Remus had yelled at them. He was the one to usually keep his cool. Madison was ashamed.

Lily was astonished by Remus outburst. The whole school had been watching. Lily decided that it wasn't fair, the way she was treating everyone. She was ashamed and knew she needed to fix this.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. I'm sure it's hard to know that you're mom's going to die and you can't do anything about it. I was just. Well, I don't know." Lily said sheepishly.

"You should be. It wasn't easy, but I had to remain calm. And it's a lot tougher that you think being a seer. You had no right to jump on me like that. You are long overdue for apologies." Madison looked stern. She sighed. "Apology accepted. But this doesn't mean we are mates again. I'm doing this for everyone else." She said and walked out of the Great Hall, leaving a very mad Lily behind.

"Maddie?" Sirius asked. He had heard distant cries, and knew it had to be her. He wandered further into the lavatory in search of his girlfriend. He smelt blood and ran, and found her on the floor in a puddle of blood.

Sirius panicked. What had she done? Sirius found a razor next to her and threw it away. He picked her up and ran as fast as he could to the Hospital Wing.

Sirius, Remus, Ally, James and Lily sat in the hospital wing that night, praying for her to awake.

Everyonesat in uncomfortable chairs sleeping, except one. SiriusBlack was devistated. He had a death grip on her hand, eyes red and puffy from crying. Sirius didn't know why she did what she did but he didn't care at the minute. All he cared about was that his Maddie was alright.

Sirius head shot up ashe heard a fait groan.

"My hand." Was what he heard. He quickly loosened his grip a bit.

Sirius stood over her, "Thank god." he said and she jumped up and hugged him.

She soon collapsed into sobs and Sirius held her. "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I-"Madison tried to explain.

"Shh. It's alright Maddie, I'm here. You're alright." He cooed ashe ran his fingers through her hair.

James was the first to awake that Tuesday morning to find Lily Evans curled up next to him. He looked over to find Remus holding Ally, and finally her saw Sirius. Sirius eyes were puffy, red andhe held Madison, who in turn had puffy eyes and was holding onto Sirius for dear life. James sighedand smiled. He always knew that he and Madison was a golden couple.

Lily awoke next to him and he smiled at her. Lily gave a sigh of relief when she saw Sirius and Madison together. "Thank god." She said.

Soon, everyone was awake, but Sirius and Madison. "Let's go to Dumbledore." James said and they all got up and left.

Sirius awoke to Madison shifting in his arms. She looked up at him. He looked into her eyes and didn't find the girl her knew. He saw fear, emotional pain and he felt his heart sink.

"I don't know what I was thinking." She said finally. "It was just too much." She said.

Sirius didn't know what to say. He wanted to say something to make her feel better, but he didn't want to say something to screw everything up. He sighed, and then gave her a small smile.

"Maddie," She still blushed at the name. "you know that I will always be here for you. No matter when. I'm so sorry, I hadn't seen it before." He started to get choked up. He swallowed the lump in his throat.

Madison looked at her boyfriend. She saw caring and compassion in his eyes. "Sirius, I love you, you know that?" She said. "I really, I'm just not ready to talk alright?" She said sadly.

"It's alright. Just tell me when okay? I'm always here." He said, making sure it was clear.

"Could you do me a favor?" She asked.

"Anything." He said in an instant.

"Just hold me." She said. Sirius pulled her closer and closed his eyes.

"Anytime." He whispered. "Anytime." She was soon asleep, and Sirius was too.

"Professor, why?" Allyasked.

"Ms. Smith Ihave a logic reason for her action, yet she will tell you when she is ready." He answered.

"But Professor Dumbledore, aren't you going to go talk to her?"James asked.

James, Lily, Ally, Remus and Professor Dumbledore walked into the Hospital Wing.

"Good morning Poppy.How is she?" He asked.

"Well, she hadn't lost alot of blood; she just passed out of stress and hurt herself, mentally and physically. All cuts are healed. I do believe she is awake." She said,

They all looked overto where Madison was and saw Sirius and her laying there, Sirius looking frightened and Madison holding onto him for dear life. Dumbledore smiled.

"I will check on her later." He said and walked off. "You are to stay in your dorms for the day." He pointed at them. "I believe Mr. Black would like to have time with her." And with that he walked off.

NOW I am done! Well, this chapter at lest. If any ofyou had read my Alex Rider story, I would love somenew names for the story, seeing as I'm changing the title. R&R.
