Disclaimer: I only own Carly and her mother
Thanks for the reviews guys. I swear you two are the best reviewers ever. I'd rather have your two reply's then 100 useless ones saying 'its good post soon.'!
Recap:
When he walked in he was greeted with the backs of Carly and some skinny greasy kid also a slight "OH MY GOD" from Remus. Sirius growled. How dare someone touch his Carly! Then the guy turned to see what was causing cold air to hit his back. Sirius chocked on the breath of air he took, "SNAPE!"
Chapter 16: Happy?
Enjoy:
Carly whirled around seeing Sirius face. She smirked causing Snape to raise his eyebrows. Carly looked at Snape as if asking permission. For what? He thought. Without waiting for an answer she pushed her lips onto his pinning him against the wall. Sirius growled,
"You greasy little-"Carly pulled away from Snape and walked up to Sirius slapping him,
"If you didn't notice it was me that kissed him." She hissed and then turned towards the bar, "Anyone else have a problem?" Everyone in the pub began going back to what they where doing previously. She grabbed Snape's hand,
"Let's go. These people," She said starring pointedly at Sirius whose face was slowly turning from red to purple, "don't notice good things even if they slapped hi-them in the face." With one last glare she and Snape left. Sirius looked around wide eyed. He saw the smirking faces of the Slytherins in the back and then saw the shocked faces of his friends.
"What the hell just happened!" He yelled. Without waiting for an answer he pulled out his wand and stormed out of the pub. James quickly got to his feet as with Remus. Lily laid a hand on James' arm,
"I thought you told me to let him be." James pulled away his arm starring into her eyes with a look of deep concern and annoyance.
"If I don't go out there someone will be dead." With that he and Remus left the pub. Malfoy watched the two Marauders walk out of the pub with a look of glee in his eyes.
"Well, well, I figured it would be me to bed Mullet first instead of Severus." Narcissa hissed he ignored it, "Pettigrew, is this what you wanted to tell me?" Peter nodded,
"Next time be faster. I would have liked to have been the first one to tell Black." Peter nodded and hurried away.
Carly was half way to the castle when Snape stopped her, "Mullet, you told me you weren't using me." She shrugged and continued to walk,
"I thought you hated Sirius." She said over her shoulder,
"I do."
"Than doesn't it make you happy that you have something he can't have?" Snape smirked not really realizing this till now. She grinned at the look on his face and turned around setting of towards the direction of the castle. A slight ran had begun to come down when something occurred to Carly. She didn't hear Snape's feet behind her. Turning she saw that he wasn't even there. Panicked she followed her muddy tracks and saw a new fresh pair. There in the mud was a print of a body with water collecting in it. It looked like the new pair of feet dragged the print into the forest. Swearing to herself she followed the trail and saw two new tracks join the others. She pulled out her wand and followed them into the forest. She stopped when she heard a voice.
"Sirius really! He never did anything!" That's Remus' voice she thought inching closer to see. In a clearing the petrified body of Snape lay in the middle with Remus standing between Sirius and Snape. James held back Sirius. Sirius struggled in James' grip,
"Damnit Prongs let me go! And Moony you saw what he did! He touched her!"
"I thought you didn't even know who she was?" Remus said pushing Sirius backwards. Sirius growled and turned to face James,
"You saw him Prongs! He was all over her!" James kept his grip on his best friend,
"As disgusting as it is Padfoot she was the one to kiss him." Sirius pulled out of James' grip.
"You know you want to hurt him just as badly as I do." Sirius said pulling out his wand talking to James.
"Well solve it some other way! You don't need to resort to violence over a simple girl!" Sirius turned towards Remus who had just said that.
"A simple girl Remus! By Merlin have you seen her? She's not just a simple girl."
"Then why did you hurt her? If she's not a simple girl then why did you let her go?" James said,
"What would you have done? Huh? What if Lily woke up one day in your arms starring back at you with Bellatrix's eyes?"
"Not let her go. Jesus Sirius she was possessed it's not her damn fault that she was! I'm sure that if she had a choice she would have never had wanted it to happen!" Sirius lowered his wand,
"I was afraid." He said. Remus clapped him on the back,
"We all were. But what possessed you to ignore her and act like she was never there in the first place?" Sirius shrugged,
"I have no idea. I just thought that if I thought she was gone then maybe she would me gone."
"Why would you want her gone?" James asked, "Besides the obvious." He added,
"I was afraid. Ever sense she came I feel different around her. It scared me. How was I supposed to know these feelings where good ones? I actually respected her enough not to push her into…Anyway it's weird when I'm around her my stomach does funny things and right now I feel like I'm going to throw up." Carly muffled a gasp with her hand. She didn't know that.
"Why?" Remus said taking a step back from Sirius,
"Because I'm a fool Moony. I let the girl of my dreams slip past me." All previous thoughts of Sirius washed away with the tears and rain that ran down Carly's face. She forgot all about what happened the night before when she walked in on him. And when he completely ignored her. All she wanted to do was run out to him and kiss him like there was no other. I told you. Shut up you. She didn't rush into Sirius' arms. Instead she turned on her heal and back up to the castle to wash the Snape germs out of her mouth.
James grinned,
"Hey mate, I think you might be in-" He was interrupted by a loud groan from Snape. Sirius turned and glared at him,
"How dare you lead my girl on?" He growled putting a foot onto Snape's chest forcing him back onto the ground. "After what happened last year I thought I told you not to meddle in our business again." (AN: You know the whole Sirius telling Snape about the passage to the Shrieking Shack) Sirius muttered something under his breath stunning Snape again and walking away James and Remus on his heels.
"So what are you going to do now?" James said pulling on some dry clothes. Sirius who sat in a chair with his head in his hands shrugged,
"I don't kn-" There door banged open reveling an out of breath Lily who was soaked through her cloak,
"I don't know what you did, Sirius." He looked up,
"Huh?"
"Carly is in the bathroom now brushing her teeth and using all the mouthwash she can find."
"So?"
"So! Sirius you're so thick sometimes. Don't you realize that she doesn't like Snape?"
"I figured as much."
"Then did you also know she was muttering something about being stupid and not doing anything about you." Sirius brightened,
"Can you go get her for me Lily? Tell her to meet me in the kitchens in about five minutes." Lily eyed him,
"No funny stuff?" He shook his head,
"No funny stuff." She nodded and rushed out of the room ignoring James' face at her wet clothes.
Ten minutes later Carly timidly walked into the kitchens. The house elves rushed to her all with perfect red roses in their hands. Once each elf gave her their flowers did she notice a lone figure sat at the Gryffindor table. She silently walked over and sat across from it. Sirius lifted his head. The words
'I'm dumb. Can you 4give me?' where written on his forehead. She giggled and he gave her a lopsided grin,
"So?" He said. She rolled her eyes and leaned over the table grabbing him by the neck of his shirt. He smirked against he lips. "Mmm…minty." He muttered pulling her further across the table. She pulled away grinning,
"Happy?" He nodded and pulled her in for another kiss.
Thanks again for RR
