Chapter 9

Lily stood there, shocked. She didn't know what to say or think. She didn't know whether he was just saying it or if he really meant it.

"Do you mean that?" She asked

"I've never meant anything more." Sirius answered truthfully

Lily looked at him. A few tears spilled out of her emerald green eyes. She didn't even know why.

"Hey." Sirius whispered, "Why are you crying?"

He held her in his arms and wiped away the tears with the arm of his sleeve.

"I love you Lily." He added, whispering in her ear "And nothing will ever change that."

She smiled slightly.

"I love you too."

'Maybe' she thought 'just maybe, I might actually get something right when it comes to the male species'

Sirius cupped the side of her face with a hand and kissed her again.

'Damn, she's pretty.' He thought.

He broke the kiss ever so sweetly and rested his forehead on hers. He just gazed into her eyes for a few moments and he said

"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met you know."

She laughed slightly

"You're not so bad yourself." She teased

Sirius chuckled

"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or not."

Lily smiled

"I would take it as a compliment." She said

"Well in that case, I will!"

They heard the bell go for lunch

"It can't be the end of free already." Lily said

"Well you girls did take like half and hour to get ready." Sirius pointed out

Lily hit him playfully across the head

"Come on then." She said, "We best get to lunch."

"What happened to going the library?" Remus teased as they fell through the door of the girl's bathroom.

"Exactly when was the last time I went to the library?" Hannah asked, stating an obvious fact that it had been years ago.

"Last time I can remember is when we did our O.W.L.S."

Hannah scoffed

"I still got my necklace y'know." She whispered "And I can still remember the words."

"What were they again?" Remus asked

"'Know that I've always loved you and I always will ... Remus.'" Hannah smiled "You said it was for luck and love but that I didn't need any luck."

"I was right though wasn't I?" Remus stated, "You didn't need any luck, you passed everything."

Hannah looked at him and said

"Yeah right. I barely passed Defence against the Dark Arts!"

"And by how many marks?"

"Five!" Hannah answered "And that was only because of you."

Remus smiled again and kissed her gently on the lips.

"You do love me don't you Remus?" She asked quietly

"You know I do." He answered "More than anything."

The bell went to signal Lunch.

"Come on." Remus said, "We best go to lunch."

"Yeah." Hannah muttered "Don't want to collapse do I?" there was a hint of sarcasm in her voice

"Did you take your Insulin this morning?" He asked

"Remus, I'm diabetic – Not stupid!" She snapped

He looked at her concerned and was slightly taken aback.

"I'm sorry." She muttered "I didn't mean it like that."

Remus hugged her and said "Come on."

"So how are you spending your free then?" Carolyn asked Clare

"I'm meant to be meeting Paul." Clare answered "But he probably thinks I've stood him up now."

"Go on, go find him." She said

"Nah." Clare said, shaking her head "He can afford to miss me for an hour."

Carolyn looked over at James

"Do you know what." She said to Clare "I don't think I want him anymore."

"Who?" Clare asked, She looked in the direction Carolyn had just looked in "James?"

She nodded

"I mean after what he said before." She continued "Argh!! I could boil his head!"

"So, if he asked you out now." Clare asked, "Then you'd turn him down?"

"Hell yeah!"

Little did they know, that was what he was about to do.

"Hey Carolyn!" James shouted

"Yeah?"

"I was just wondering if you'd go to Hogsmeade with me."

"James!" Carolyn sneered "After what you said before, I wouldn't go out with you even if you were the last guy no earth. Which your not!"
