A tugging sensation shot through her head and moving her arm she felt it connect with something solid. A low moan emitted from the object so she opened her eyes and saw Sirius looking down at her.
He had a dopy look on his face that he always wore when he just woke up a grin spread up her face as he rubbed his stomach gently.
"Sorry"
"Yeah right when have you ever been sorry?"
"Mand upstairs now we have to talk."
Turning her head she saw Alice smiling coyly at her and knew that she was busted, it had to have been Ginny and Branwen they'd told the girls what they saw last night. Moving much faster than she normally did first thing she was up the stairs.
As the door closed she heard the laughter of the others who were all looking at her. Carefully she lifted her hand and touched her nose testing to see if there was something wrong with it, then she moved her hand to her head and Ginny spoke up.
"There's nothing wrong with the way you look, now talk."
"Okay well I like to talk, I can talk for ages and in Spanish as well if you want or even Italian but I'm not very good at that –"
A pillow connected with her face and Lily swung her legs over the bed.
"Sorry."
It was a simple word that was meant for the pillow but the pair knew she was apologising for much more than that. Branwen moved and sat next to Lily on the bed and Alice was leaning against the bed with Ginny opposite. Amanda moved next to Ginny and placed her head on her shoulder.
"I'm confused."
Ginny stroked her hair gently.
"No wonder the way you and Sirius were last night, tell Aunty Ginny everything."
"Do I get a cookie?"
"And chocolate milk!"
Branwen and Lily were grinning and Alice had her head rested on Lily's leg all three were watching Amanda carefully as Ginny continued to stroke her head.
"It was horrible, Bella said that I deserve all the evil things that happen to me, in fact she said I ask for them. Well I thought it was you and I got really really mad and stormed off and ended up in one of the classrooms on my own."
"Was Sirius with you?"
"Not then Al, but I was sitting there considering going to see Lucius and Sirius came in and said he was surprised I didn't punch Bella/Ginny and he was getting closer to me. He sorta held my cheek looking at where Narcissa/Branwen scrammed me."
She moved her head to look at Ginny her eyes moving from the others to focus on her.
"He said that I was amazing, you know with everything that happened to me this year and well he was really close to me and then he was kissing me. Nothing special just the way we normally do you know lips touching nothing special."
She looked at the other three.
"He pulled away and I pulled him back, I was the one that deepened the kiss, and I'm embarrassed I shouldn't have done that."
"Why? It's not as if you're with anybody else?"
Branwen did have a point she hadn't done anything wrong, they were both single and good friends so what if they kissed it didn't mean anything, or did it?
"It didn't mean anything though but what if Sirius thinks it did, I don't want to give him the wrong idea."
"So you don't want to go out with Sirius?"
Amanda stared at Lily like she had three heads
"Me and Sirius, he's like my big brother, no, its just wrong, but it felt good, but it's wrong. Oh I'm confused again."
"Well I'm hungry I haven't eaten since the day before yesterday."
Ginny stood up as did Branwen and they walked out of the room, Lily grinned followed them but Alice took Ginny's vacant seat.
"Want to talk about it?"
"How do you feel with Frank?"
The blonde blushed but a small smile played across her features.
"Special. It's like he doesn't see anybody else, when we're together it's just the two of us. I get this bubbly feeling in my stomach and my heart beats faster but it's a good feeling."
"I didn't feel any of that, well okay there was the bubbly feeling but it wasn't special. It was Sirius, I don't know I love him, I really do and I know one day I'm going to marry him but –"
"Who said you're going to marry him?"
Amanda looked around the room as if checking nobody else was there
"I overheard mama speaking to Aunt Amarantha."
"What did she say?"
"She said Usted ha notado la manera que Amanda está alrededor de Sirius? Ella hace todo que él le pregunta que también, harán un par casado perfecto, usted esperan hasta que son dieciocho usted verá"
"What does that mean?"
"Have you noticed the way Amanda is around Sirius? She does everything he asks her too, they'll make a perfect married couple, you wait until they're eighteen you'll see"
"Oh so you're promised."
"Yeah but we probably won't get married they just think we will Sirius and I have never done anything they've wanted us to do before."
"Are you going to talk to him?"
"I'm going to have too aren't I?"
"Yep."
"Wish me luck"
Alice stood up with her and they headed down to breakfast to find the others.
Okay so since the last chapter was really short I decided to post this one as well, plus there is the fact that my next day off is a week tomorrow so I don't think I'll be back until then with another post for you. On a happy note we've nearly finished year 3, there's only 6 chapters and then on to forth year hopefully I'll be able to post all this year before the 3rd October (when I go back to Uni)
Karen yes keep an eye on Peter things are beginning to turn for him, you might be surprised where this is going.
Taylin No Peter doesn't like Amanda, he doesn't know how he feels, it's the fact that he feels along you must remember that Peter, Amanda and Sirius are the ones that are being attacked by their family and Peter is jealous of how close Sirius and Amanda are because he feels like the outsider of the group.
Ginny is mad at herself for allowing the Black sisters to trick her and is taking it out on Joe because he's an easy target. Remus is still around as are James and Lily but they're not that big in this year, next year you will see them.
As for Lily being different well I wanted her to be, I didn't want her to be the usual Lily she's still self conscious at the moment and follows people around because she wants to be liked, she won't be staying this way (year 5 dramatic change) but for the time being you'll just have to get use to her.
Britt welcome, thank you so much for reading this and I'm glad you like it, two whole days that's really good there's so many chapters to read in such a short amount of time, I hope you'll continue to like what's coming.
Well that's all for now, I'll try to get on at the end of the week but not sure if I'll be able to, my next day off is next Wednesday (15th) and I'll defiantly be posting then.
