Sirius had been wandering around the castle for the best of over five hours and was now quickly becoming tired. His body ached for some food and a sit down as he had long now missed lunch, along with not wanting to go to breakfast. But despite his physical tiredness, his minds thoughts where still whizzing around his head.

She had trusted me enough to not obliviate my memory but not enough to be with her. Was I really that disgusting in the future that she despises me now for it? She can't use the whole age thing against me here as we are the same age. Well technically. So why wont she be with me? What have I done wrong?

Sirius was so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't realise that he was talking allowed or that there was someone else in the corridor.

"Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness my brother." Drawled a smug voice from behind him. Sirius turned around and saw that his blood brother was standing behind him.

"Regulas how many time have I told you that I no longer count you as anything near my brother. I would rather call the mud on this shoe my relation."

"Awww that really truly hurt Sirius. I was just trying to see if I could help my older brother out as he seems to be finding himself in a sticky situation with love. Maybe I could help?"

"I wouldn't ask someone like you for help with anything. See that needs trust to be able to do that, and I have none in you."

"What can I do to make you trust me brother then."

"One you could die or you could just drop all this nonsense about purebloods being the better of the two wizarding types."

"Unfortunaly, Sirius you ask for two much. You ask for the impossible and the lies that they teach all the good for nothing mudbloods. But have I heard right that you, Sirius Black, have indeed fallen for a mudblood! And not only that but you have been rejected by that mudblood also. I would say that you are a disgrace to the family but you are no longer family to any of us."

"If you hadn't notice Reggie our dear mother disowned me long before this. I wouldn't want her to be disappointed in you by having you talk to me so goodbye Reggie."

"Goodbye Blood traitor." whispered Regulas. His eyes hard and cold. He turned quickly and walked away down the corridor towards the dungeons.

Sirius sighed. He needed some serious comfort after the day he was having. If only he could talk to James. Even Remus would do. He just needed a friend. But then he remembered. The mirror!

Sirius sprinted the rest of the way up to the Gryffindor common room and up to his dorm. In one of his many pockets he found a small round mirror. If anyone would have seen him they would have thought that he was incredibly vein because he was pouring over the mirror looking at it intently. But this was not the case. Making sure that no one else was near he whispered James' name and waite4d for his face to appear in the mirror.

"Sirius? What's wrong? I've only been gone a few hours."

"A lot James. I just needed a friendly face."

"What about Hermione?"

"Well she is one of the problems."

"Oh rite. One of?"

"The other is that I had another run in with dear Reggie. I just needed to talk to some one."

"Sure thing mate. What happened?"

"Well it's a bit of a story so make sure that you're comfortable." James' head nodded in the small mirror. "Ok then. Well after you and the others had left I started talking to Hermione. You see a while ago she let me in on her biggest secrets. I swore that I wouldn't tell anyone, James, so no I can't tell you what it is. Anyway after you left we talked about this secret and well I tried to make a move on her. In a decent way! I kissed her. And the great thing was that she kissed me back."

"Well that's great mate I knew it would happen soon. But then what's wrong?"

"Don't interrupt. Well after she started to kiss me back she suddenly pulled away. She said something like 'I'm sorry but I can't' or something like that but then burst into tears and ran away. I haven't seen her yet."

James let out a low whistle. "Ooo I really don't understand girls. I think Moony has the right idea. Maybe you should go and apologise to her or something. They love it when guys take all the blame."

"Yeah yeah well I was planning on doing that anyway. The other problem just got in my way of doing that."

"Regulas? What happened with him?"

"Well you see after Hermione had run off I went about wandering the castle. But I just had to bump into Reggie didn't I! well anyway it was just the same as usual except this time I think I must have been muttering or something and he heard because he rubbed it in my face that I had been rejected my a muggleborn. The twerp!"

"I know he is mate but you have to rise above it. He isn't worth you being angry at him."

"That's rich coming from you!"

"I know that I am being a bit of a hypocrite but im just trying to make sure that you don't get expelled while I'm not there. Anyway. Back to Hermione, could it have been the secret that made her upset?"

"Maybe. Probable actually. Oh I don't know. Anyway I want to go down to the kitchens because I haven't eaten yet today!"

"Ok mate. I'll speak to you soon. Just please try and get back to being friends with Hermione again. I don't want to have to choose between u coz it would be way too obvious who I would side with and that would be unfair."

"Cheers. I'd choose you too James"

"Who said that I would choose you!"

"Ha ha very funny. I'll see you when you get back to school."

James gave one last wink into the mirror and then his head disappeared and the mirror turned back into just another mirror.

"Ok Sirius. Now it's time to start operation, apologies and become friend again with Hermione. Easier said then done."

Slowly Sirius made his way to the place where he was garanteed to find Hermione. The library. Sure enough she was there, sitting at her usual table with a large assortment of books litered haphazardly about her.

After the 'incident', as Hermione had named it, had happened Hermione had run to the place wher she felt the most secure. The place that never changed no matter what year it was. The library.

She had trown her self into every book that she could reach but rejected alsomt as many as she had nott been able to focuse on them.

Aflter throwing the seventeenth book back onto a large pile on the table Hermione reached for another hoping that this one she would be able to read more than a line of before she lost her concentration again. But as she reached out the corner of her eye noticed a dark figure near her table that was studying her.

She recognised it almost instantly as the boy that she had run away from earlier that day. Before Hermione realised what she was doing she was on her feet and striding out of the library, head held high.

"Mione wait! I'm not going to try anything I promise! Just listen to me. Please."

"Well say what you have to say then." Hermione's voice was full of malice that she did not know was there.

"Look I'm sorry. I don't know why I did what I did earlier. But I also don't know why you reacted the way that you did either."

"Isn't it obvious?"

"No"

"well if you cant figure it out then I don't know why I should tell you."

"Look I said that I was sorry. What more can I do!"

"try to understand better and open your eyes up to the world around you!" And with that Hermione stormed away from the library crying about the same boy for the second time that day while he yet again stood dumbstruck watching her go.

ok ok I know that this is really late and really short but I was grounded and had my computer taken away from me so I couldn't write but I'm back on now so I should be able to update more.
