Lily and Dumbledore came running in, right when Taryn's lips met Sirius'. She heard their footsteps and quickly stood up, looking over at them. "He's upstairs!"
Dumbledore ran upstairs while Lily stood there, staring at her.
"What?" Taryn asked.
"You… You kissed Black!"
"So what if I did? He saved me! He got hurt saving me, Lily. He cares about me. And why should I hate him just because of who he's friends with?"
"Do you even remember why you hate him?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because… umm…"
"Because he has a stupid, easy life and he has another girl friend every week, and he has most likely broken the school record of the most times someone has made a girl break the rule of going up to the boys dorm…" Lily paused to glare at Sirius before looking back at Taryn. "And getting her to sleep there."
"He does not have an easy life. I figured that out myself. And as for the other reason…." Taryn looked at Sirius. "Was I wrong about you my whole life?"
He shrugged. "Half wrong. I have another girlfriend every two weeks and I never plan it out that way, and I have not broken the record."
"He's come close." Muttered James, who walked up to them.
Lily sighed. "And he's half as big headed as Potter, and that's saying something."
Taryn sighed. "Are you sure about that?"
"Of course. You've been telling me about how Sirius is so-"
"No, Lily. About the Potter part. He really does like you. Think about it."
Lily stormed out of the room and out to the Hogwarts grounds.
James looked at Taryn. "Thanks for saying that to Evans."
Taryn punched his arm as hard as she could, and intended it to hurt badly. She looked over at Sirius and smiled. "See you later." She smiled. "I need to go take a shower and go to sleep."
"Can I come?" Sirius asked jokingly, grinning.
"No, you perv." She smiled more and ran out.
….
What happened last night? Did I end up telling Black that I liked him…? And that I was willing to go out with him if he asked? What if he expects me to say yes if he asks me out?
'Cause I still hate him, and I know that. I was only half-awake last night, and I was so shocked.
This is honestly the most annoying moment of my life. What do I do? What do I do? If I tell Sirius the truth, then… well if I hate him, then I won't care how he reacts, right? Right.
Now I have to worry about Lily. She's going to hate me for at least most of today, and maybe then she'll listen.
But for now, I have to get to the Hospital Wing. Remus hurt me and I didn't even realize it.
Taryn walked into the Hospital Wing and looked around for Madam Pomfrey. She wasn't there, so she just sat down on a bed and pulled the curtains around so she wouldn't have to see… well she really couldn't finish that sentence.
"Taryn…"
"The past week NEVER happened, Black. None of it. None of it at all."
He pulled the curtains away so she could see the scratches all over his face, the scar on his right arm and all the other things that showed how hurt he got.
"I don't care Sirius Black. I hate you. You lied."
….
Taryn spent the next few days in the Hospital Wing. She really didn't feel hurt, but never wanted to go back to classes and see everyone. She stayed even after Sirius left, and he was way more hurt then her.
"You have to leave!" said Madam Pomfrey, but Taryn kept saying that her stomach hurt like hell.
Eventually, Madam Pomfrey grabbed Taryn's arm and started to drag her out of the Hospital Wing. "You can't take me out of here!" screamed Taryn.
"Yes I can."
Taryn thought quickly. What was something that Madam Pomfrey would actually believe? She suddenly had an idea. "Gee, Madam, I think I'm pregnant."
Madam Pomfrey let go of Taryn's arm. "You think you're pregnant?"
"Yes." Taryn nodded.
"Who… When… Why…"
So, who should she pretend was the father? Can't be Black. No way. Maybe she could say it was Alex… But then he would probably get kicked out of the head boy position… But he deserved it! No he didn't… Yes! No! Yes! No! YES!
"It's… Alex, the head boy…. And it was earlier this week. On Monday… And because." Taryn said. She sat down on the bed and smiled brightly. Not only did she get to stay in the Hospital Wing, but she also got to make Madam Pomfrey freak out. She deserved it!
"I… I must inform the headmaster!"
"But… you can't!"
"Why not?"
"Because I want it to be a secret." Taryn said quietly.
"Well…."
"Thank you!"
"Well I should tell Mr. Potter you won't be at the Quidditch game…"
Oh no! She totally forgot! There was a Quidditch game in two days! "No! I'm not pregnant!"
"Don't just say that so you could play."
"But I'm really not. I lied!"
Madam Pomfrey wasn't convinced.
Taryn sighed. "But… I'll go tell Potter I might not be at the game."
She sighed, running out of the Hospital Wing, and out to the Quidditch field, where she was sure Potter was.
And he was. "We need to talk, Potter."
"'bout what?'
"I can't be in the game."
"Why not?"
"Cause I'm pregnant."
"You are!"
"No I'm not, Potter. But Madam Pomfrey says I am."
"Why would she think that? You don't even have a boy friend."
"Cause I told her I was so I could stay in the Hospital Wing. And now… now she won't believe that I'm not."
"But you need to play in the game! I can't get a decent beater on such short notice!"
"I guess we can try to convince her…"
"Come on!"
They ran down to the Hospital Wing. "She's not pregnant, Madam. She isn't. She isn't. She isn't. Taryn doesn't even have a boy friend, and she was in her dorm on Sunday night." James screamed.
"No I wasn't." she muttered.
"Where were you?"
"You know where I was. I was in the common room half the night, and outside the castle, in the Womping Willow the other half."
"Well you weren't in his dorm, so there you go." James said.
"And, you have no proof that I'm pregnant, and there's no way you could get proof Madam, because I'M NOT PREGNANT." Taryn said.
"Well…. Okay. You can go to the game!"

I hated that chapter. I wrote it months ago and if I change it, I'll have to change the whole story, so… Well, please review. And just in case you haven't noticed, somewhere in that list of my fanfictions is 'Notice Me.' Out of my 4 fanfictions, that's my favorite!
