Disclaimer: not mine.

James walked into the living room in his house to find two pairs of eyes focused on him immediately.

"So James, what happened at Lily's house?" Sirius asked, although he already had a pretty good idea of what happened.

"Yeah, did you get back together?" Remus said

"I don't know, sort of."

"What do you mean sort of?" Sirius said

"We didn't actually say that we were back together, we said we loved each other, and I told her that I would help her through everything. I think that means we are together again."

"Yay, so all is good in the world." Sirius said, forgetting about one little detail. James shot him an evil glare.

"No, everything is not good." He said coldly, "Lily is very sick. Did you forget that?"

Sirius looked away and shrank back into his armchair; he pretended to be very interested in a small crumb of cake sitting on the coffee table next to him.

James told them what had happened, normally they would all be in a good mood, but the problem facing them was not something that would help to lighten the mood. Sirius couldn't stand the depressing ambience of this place anymore, and he had something he needed to do. Only he hoped it wasn't too soon. So he got out of his chair, pick up his coat and put on his shoes and said "I'm going somewhere, I have things to do and I can't tell you what or where. Bye." And with that, he walked out the door.
He walked briskly through the cold evening air, he pulled out a mobile phone he had borrowed off James and tried to make it work. It wouldn't work for him. But after a quick secretive charm it gave in. He told the phone who he wanted to call, and he out the phone to his ear and listened to the dial tone.

"Hello?" said a voice.

"Hi, it's Sirius."

"Oh, hi, how are you?"

"I'm good, how are you?"

"I'm well thanks."

"Great, um, can you meet me in Langston Park by the fountain, I need to talk to you about something."

"Sure. I can be there in ten minutes."

"Ok, that's good, see you then"

"Bye." The voice said, and then Sirius heard the sound of a phone hanging up.

He sat on a park bench near the fountain, and waited nervously for her to arrive. Twelve minutes had gone by and Sirius was starting to worry. Seventeen minutes had gone by and finally she turned up. Sirius looked down the path and saw Emma rushing towards him, her blonde hair bouncing behind her as she ran.

"Hey Sirius. Sorry I was late, I walked here, I was going to come on my broom but it's been stolen."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. Here, have a seat." He said kindly as he moved over and offered her a seat on the bench.

"The reason I asked you to come here tonight is…" he noticed Emma was shivering "Emma, you look freezing cold, here take my coat."

"No, no I'm fine."

"Seriously, I have another jumper under here." He said as he took off his coat and wrapped it around her.

"Thank you." She said

"That's ok. Ok, I know you and James just broke up, but I thought that maybe I should tell you, just because you and James split, that doesn't mean we still can't be friends."

"Right. James and I are still friends. It was an easy break-up." She said

"So, anyway; it doesn't mean we can't be friends. I was hoping that one day, maybe, we could be more than that." He said slowly.

"Ok." She said

"Ok what?"

"Maybe we can be more. Maybe you should check with James." She said, smiling.

"Definitely, I will do that, for sure."

"Hang on, what about Claudia?" she asked

"Oh. We broke up, we agreed to be friends. She's more Remus' type of girl."

"Ok, alright, becauseI don't want to be theother woman. This was a good talk; but I have to get back to my apartment, I left some pasta on the stove and my room mate is a lousy cook, she'll probably burn it." She laughed and stood up; Sirius did the same.

"Thank-you, for helping me to relax." He said.

Emma said nothing; she just gave him a small, quick kiss on the lips. When she started to pull back, Sirius deepened the kiss, into a more passionate one.

"Ciao bella." he said with an Italian accent and then he smiled

"Bye Sirius." She laughed, and then walked away.

A/N: Sorry, I know some of you wanted it to be more about L/J, but I thoughtI needed to do something about Sirius' crush, and also my friend was bugging me to write about them; because Emma's character is based on my friend. I might do something with Remus, but not next chapter. I have already started writing that one. Anyway, nowI am ranting and probably boring you andI know I am definitely taking up good reviewing time!

HAVE FUN REVIEWING!
