"I think you should read this." Hannah added and handed Lily a poem, which read
I DO NOT OWN THIS POEM NOR DID I WRITE IT
Touched by Angels
We are touched by angels
And walk were angels tread
They will guide us
Walk beside us
Through the days ahead.
In our hours of darkness
When our dreams have flown
They bring us hope,
And gentle healing
We are not alone.
In our times of doubting
Still they understand
And forever touched by angels
We walk hand in hand.
"Wow." Lily breathed, "Where did you get that?"
"Sirius wrote it." Hannah answered "For my 16th birthday."
"What about your 16th birthday?" Sirius asked, walking into the common room
"The poem you wrote." Hannah whispered
"Oh my God, Hannah! Sirius exclaimed, "You promised you'd never show anyone!"
"I had to!" She said, "You didn't hear what she said!"
"What did you say?" Sirius asked Lily
"That all men are jerks." She whispered
"Ah." Sirius said, "That won't go down to well with Hannah."
"I guessed when she slapped me!" Lily replied
Sirius looked at Hannah
"I'm going." She said suddenly
"Where?"
"Where do ya think?" She asked
She left and went to the boys dormitory
"Hey." She smiled
"I thought you were staying in the girls dorm." He said
"Was." Hannah stated "But I thought I'd come back as I was in the common room."
Remus looked at her confused.
"Don't matter." She said
Remus rolled his eyes; he leant in and kissed her. When they broke apart, Hannah whispered
"I'm glad we got the whole year together. I missed you, I hardly saw you over the summer, except for 4 days."
"We've got the rest of our lives together." He said, placing his hand on her cheek.
"I hope so." She whispered.
"Hope?" Remus asked softly "You having doubts?"
"I don't know." She said
"You can tell me if you are."
"I want to get married!" She assured him "I'm just scared we'll grow apart."
He held her in his arms and kissed the top of her hair.
"I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled
"Why won't it go down well with Hannah?" Lily asked
"I'm not saying, you're best asking her." He answered
"Just tell me something at least."
"Just lets say if it wasn't for me Hannah wouldn't be at Hogwarts!"
"Why?" Lily pressed
"I can't say!" Sirius snapped
"Fine."
"Oh, Lil. I didn't mean it like that." Sirius sighed, "It's just that I swore I wouldn't and anyway I value the relationship I have with her and we're the only family each other has."
"I'm going to bed." Lily said "Night."
She kissed him on the cheek and walked to the girl's dormitory. Sirius followed but went to the boy's dorm. He walked in and saw Hannah and Remus kissing.
"Step away from the girl!" He said, cupping his hands like a microphone.
They broke apart.
"Sirius!" Hannah exclaimed
"Sorry." He muttered
"I'm going to bed." Hannah said
"Night." The two boys said
When she left, Sirius said
"I really cannot figure out girls."
"Lily?" Remus asked
"No, just girls in general."
"Well you can work it out tomorrow, I'm shattered."
With an "interesting" day back, the 8 friends slept. None of them knew what was in store for them for the forthcoming year
I know not a very good place to end it but it was the best I could come up with. Sorry
