Amanda sat in the Charms classroom with tears running down her cheeks; she couldn't believe how bitchy the girls were being. She knew that girls could be bitchy, she'd seen enough girls acting that way and it wasn't the first time that they had acted this way (they'd all had their days) but this was beyond normal bitchiness.
It wasn't the fact that they'd ganged up on her; it was the way Ginny had spoken to her. They'd had their fair number of fights before but that was always off limits. They never brought up the whole rape, but worse was the way Ginny had said she'd brought it on herself.
That was what had hurt Amanda the most the reason she had stormed from the room she couldn't take it having everyone stare at her. Maybe it was time she spoke to her father maybe he was right and her friends weren't really her friends.
The more she thought about it the more it made sense; she was a Dixon she was suppose to be a Slytherin, she should be on their side and not the side that she thought right. Family was more important than anything.
Her tears were flowing faster now and a cold breeze was running through the room, if she didn't know better she'd say a ghost was in the room with her. Sighing she sat on the desk just staring into space, she was unsure of how long she'd been sitting there when she heard a voice.
"Mind if I join you?"
She didn't need to look up to know who's voice it was nor did she have to reply for the boy to join her. They sat together in silence for a while she didn't look up from staring in space and he didn't try to force her to look at him.
Time was slow or maybe it was going so fast neither noticed it passing. The silence was engulfing on them and only broken by Amanda's sniffs. After what felt like hours but in honesty was only minutes she spoke up.
"I can't believe how bitchy Ginny was."
She turned her head to look at Sirius and he saw the tears still falling from her eyes. She could see his thumb getting closer to her face as he gently wiped them away. His gaze was intense on her as he focused on her cheek.
"Does that hurt?"
She shook her head as his hand gently cupped her cheek. She felt safe here now as if the whole argument from earlier had never taken place. She saw Sirius move closer to her as she copied his motion.
"She was wrong earlier; you know that, don't you?"
His voice was soft barely above a whisper and she only nodded as his fingers moved to her chin forcing her to look into his eyes. They were softer than she remember and filled with compassion or maybe it was something else.
The gap between them was shortening with every passing second his lips were scarcely from her own when he spoke again.
"You're amazing Mand, I'd have punched her tonight."
He was so close that his words sent soft air onto her lips causing her to giggle lightly. He didn't know how close she had been to punching Ginny she had wanted to. Her mind though left this as his lips moved even closer; she felt her eyes close as his lips touched hers.
They were soft and gentle just as she had remembered. There was something about Sirius that when he kissed her it felt as if the entire world faded away and only they were left, he had been her first kiss back when they were ten a dare from Narcissa but she still felt the flutter in her stomach that she had felt then when he first kissed her.
He pulled his lips back from hers he was still close though and without hesitation she leaned back in letting her lips rest on his. This time it was different and the kiss was quickly deepened she felt the hippogriffs in her stomach grow. She moved herself so she was closer and let one of her hands wander to the boy's hair while the other wrapped gently across his shoulders.
She could feel his hand that still cupped her face as his other moved to her waist holding her close. Things were quickly changing between them and she knew that their friendship was altering forever. This was the first time they had kissed like this and she didn't want it to stop.
From behind she heard what sounded like somebody clearing their throat and slowly she moved her lips away from Sirius' noting the small complain he made as she did so. Turning her head she found somebody watching them, her eyes widened as the person stepped into the room and the moonlight caught them, it was…
