A/N: hey guyz, don't hate me cos' it's short. I wanted this to be a quick update!

disclaimer: not mine.

Chapter sixteen.


I still don't see why we had to leave.

Because Lily and I broke up.

So, her mum was going to give me my own Christmas pudding. I want my pudding!

Too bad. Not going to happen now.

It's not fair!

It's not fair that Lily has a curse on her!

What? A curse?

Never mind you don't need to know. Why did you go 'sight-seeing' with Lily's cousin when you're with Emma?

Dunno, felt like it.

You shouldn't do that to her.

I know, but nothing happened, the silly girl actually wanted to show me the sites.

Serves you right.

Yeah, I guess it does. Emma's too good for me.

Whatever you reckon.

She is, should I stick with her?

You obviously like her, so stick. You shouldn't cheat on people, or attempt to.

What's with you? You're actually giving good advice today.

Shut up. I'm depressed.

Okay.

Did Sirius Black actually agree to shut up and be quiet for once?

Yes and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. So use it well, I'm going to get Jeda to make me some food.

That house-elf worships him.

She does.

I thought you were going!

I am!

Good! Bring me some brownies!

No! Get your own brownies.

If you don't I'll get Jeda to stopcooking for you.

Would you like a drink with your brownies Prongs?

Yes, get me some orange juice.


He's gone. I don't know what to do about Lily. I don't want to be in love with her any more. The best advice my father ever gave me was not to believe in eternal curses like this Asteria thing. I read about it. Remus told me about a book of eternal curses, of course my dad, being an Auror, owns a copy. I read about this Asteria thing in it. It could kill me. But I won't let it; can I stop it? The book didn't say anything about stopping it. I'm so confused. Urrrgh, this is going to drive me completely mental.

What is? Tell me!

No. It's none of your business.

It is my business! This isn't fair. I need to know; otherwise I'll go and ask Lily.

No! Fine, I'll tell you, but don't interrupt me…

Ok.

You interrupted me.

Sorry.

Again!

Whoops…

Just shut up Sirius!

Okay, I can do that…

Just shut it! Anyway, apparently, a long time ago, Lily's ancestor Katherine Evans was accused of being a witch. She wasn't a witch, but she was still hung. A guy who she loved drove her crazy; she had one daughter, called Claudia. She was the first Evans woman to be a witch and have auburn hair, like Lily. So she cast a spell on herself so she wouldn't fall for anyone, then she shut herself off from the world. The spell became an eternal curse, and then any dude who fell in love with a redheaded Evans woman would die. Claudia met a guy and they had a daughter, but she didn't realize the spell was a curse, and then Jacob died.

So there's a possibility that I am in love with Lily then I will die.

But you don't believe in eternal curses.

I know, but what if Dad's advice isn't true. What if it isn't right? Then I'll die.

No, you can't die. You can't leave me, so you'll have to stay away from Evans.

Why?

Cos' you'll actually fall for her, and then you could die. Then I'll be left on my own. So we'll come up with some rules:

Number 1. No talking to Evans.

Number 2. If talking to her is absolutely necessary, you must call her by her last name.

Number 3. Avoid her at all times.

Number 4. Don't offer her any help.

Number 5. If you must have some sort of association with her, talk through Ellie. Not Emma, because she is my girlfriend, and because you know Ellie better.

Number 6. There is no number 6.

That doesn't help Sirius.

ABIDE BY THE RULES OR DIE JAMES! It's your choice.

Fine, I'll abide by the rules. But you have to make me Padfoot, force me cos' otherwise I'll probably crack.

I can be very forceful when I want to be.

I know. Geez, I hope Lily doesn't go back to being the tyrant she used to be.

She wasn't that bad.

Yes, I agree. This scar on my head isn't from having Hogwarts; a history thrown at me.
