Well, anyways, hope you liked the last chapter, too bad we only had a few reviews though, but hey what can you do, but...oh well. Just please don't forget to R & R!

Chapter 5:

"Hey Maddy, yesterday after you passed out, you started mumbling: "Snape's an ugly git," not that I'm arguing or anything, but why?"

She looked at him as if he were mad and said, "Because he is an ugly git, and he's always calling Lils a mud-...I don't even wanna say it, but I just hate him." she looked distractedly away and then back at him, he was smiling broadly at her. "What?" she asked suspiciously, he just looked away chuckling. "What!" she demanded, he just looked back at her and smiled again, she finally gave up asking and closed her eyes.

Sirius shifted uncomfortably and winced, he could feel his legs falling asleep, Madison opened her eyes and looked at him, "Sorry if I'm hurting your legs," she sighed sitting up and stretching.

"No" he said hastily, "you're fine–I mean my legs are fine." he said his face going pink. He stood up and looked around then took her hands and helped her to her feet too, but their hands never parted, neither of them noticed. "Do you wanna go walk around school," he asked still a little pink in the face.

"Erm... sure but don't you think, maybe we should tell Lily and James?" she asked trying to pull away but finding her hand locked with Sirius', "Oh." she said looking at their hands, Sirius looked too. He smiled gently but didn't let go. She tried to pull away again, but his grip got tighter.

"Sirius, can I have my hand back" she said pulling at it again, this time he hesitated and opened his mouth to say something, but let her hand go and looked away.

"Sure you can go tell Lily, I'll go te-" but she cut him short.

"Maybe it won't be such a good idea after all" she said taking off his jacket and handing it back to him. He frowned and stepped closer to her.

"I'm sorry." he said as she took a couple paced back. "Please come walk with me." he pleaded reaching out a hand to her.

"I–erm... I don't know," she said, he stepped closer and grabbed her wrist, she tried to pull away but he tightened his grip again, "Sirius please let me go" she pleaded nervously, her breathing became very ragged, her heart was racing, and her eyes were wide, she pulled on her hand, her voice was very shaky, "You're beginning to hurt me." she said truthfully, she was losing feeling in her arm, at these words he let go looking horror struck and looking at his hand, then he looked back at her apologetically. She looked up at him then back at her wrist while rubbing it.

"Madison, I didn't mean–" he began, but the look on her face silenced him, she looked scared of him. She took an uncertain step back away from him, then turned and ran to the girls' staircase; when she reached it, she looked back at him for a moment then ran up the stairs to the girls' dorm.

Lily had just woke up when Madison entered the dorm, looking on the verge of tears.

"Maddy, what's wrong?" she asked leading Madison to her bed to sit down. Madison hesitated, but sat down and explained to Lily everything that had happened downstairs. Madison showed her wrist, and the two could see red finger marks around her wrist that were slowly becoming bruises.

Meanwhile...

Sirius, minutes after Madison had left, dashed upstairs thinking of ways to explain he was sorry, when he reached his dorm he saw Remus pulling on a t-shirt. Remus looked over at Sirius who was still looking shaking and upset.

"What's up Sirius?" Remus said looking for his socks.

"I er... Just hurt Madison" he said nervously.

Remus looked at him surprised "What did you do to her?" he asked, hoping it wasn't as bad as it sounded. Sirius explained what happened, when he finished Remus looked at him like he was mad. "What were you thinking." he asked looking panicky.

"Obviously Moony, I wasn't thinking"Sirius sighed.

"Well you better get out a piece of parchment and write her an apology letter immediately!" Remus said pulling on his shoe.

"You're right, that's what I'll do." Sirius said running to his bedside table and pulling out parchment and a quill.

Madison,

Hey, I'm sorry what happened this morning, I didn't mean to frighten or hurt you, I wasn't thinking. Please forgive me. Hope to see you in Hogsmeade.

Sirius.

He read and reread his letter then tied it to the leg of his owl and sent it off.

"Maddy, it's okay, maybe that's not what he meant to do." Lily said brushing her hair into a silk ponytail.

"It's not like I can control him" Madison sighed while twisting her wand into her hair.

"Are you still going to Hogsmeade then?" Lily asked, Madison thought for a moment then said "Yes, I'll just stay away from him."

Just then an owl came swooping into their room through the open window, it was the same owl from the night before. Madison looked at it wearily and grabbed the letter; she read the letter and began breathing shallow.

"Lem'me read," Lily said sitting down besides her friend, again Lily read the letter and smiled gently glancing at her friend. "He apologized, why don't you go talk to him?" she asked briskly, but Madison wasn't listening, she was writing a letter back.

Sirius,

Meet me down in the common room.

Maddy.

She tied it to the owls leg and sent it off then dashed down stairs...

"Sirius your owls back with a letter," Remus called to Sirius who had hopped in the shower.

CRASH!

"Ouch!...AAAHHHH! BLOODY HELL!" Sirius shouted running into the dorm, his hair was very soapy, and the lower half of his body was wrapped in a cotton towel. He wiped away shampoo that was running into his eyes. "Stupid wet floor." Sirius mumbled, he mumbled something else but the words were indistinguishable. "Here, let me see the letter, Remus," Sirius said rubbing his backside and wincing.

He read the letter and smiled then looked in the mirror and cursed under his breath. He quickly put on a pair of jeans and wrapped the towel around his head and ran downstairs, to find Madison sitting on a table staring at her shoes, her hair in her face and her face pale.

"Hi." she said not looking at him but hopping off the table and striding over to him still staring at her feet. He hesitated but replied "Hi." in a sulky voice. He stared at her for a couple minutes while she stared at the floor. Then suddenly she snapped her attention to him, she looked him up and down while choking back laughter.

"Did I er...interrupt something?" she giggled at the sight of Sirius in jeans, and a towel around his head. He sighed in relief as she continued to giggle.

"What you don't like my fashion statement?" he said beginning to model it for her, but after a while stopped and looked at her seriously and said "Actually I hopped in the shower when I sent you that letter, I er...didn't expect to get an answer from you." he said this grinning. She was still giggling but settled down enough so she could only grin.

"Is there something you wanted to talk about?" he asked, shoving his hands in his pockets. She began rubbing her wrists nervously. "Well actually I was gonna take you up on your offer to walk around the school" she said this while looking him up and down. "But you don't seem ready to go anywhere." she giggled again.

"Well let me go rinse my hair and finish dressing and I'll be back down in ten minutes ready to go." She smiled then turned and walked up to her dorm again. He stood for a second watching her, then ran up his own staircase; when he reached his dorm he found James and Peter slugging around, without a word he ran to the bathroom and rinsed his hair and changed into normal clothes.

"Hey Prongs, I'm gonna go walk with Fawcette!" he called as he shut the door, "See ya later!"

Madison walked up to her dorm and when she entered found Belle just pulling open her hangings looking a bit grumpy.

"Lily, Black and I are gonna go on a erm...walk." Madison called quietly to her as Lily opened Anne's hangings. Belle cursed but Madison ignored it.

"I'll see you later!" she called nervously.

"Wait!" Lily said walking to her, "You'll be fine, he won't hurt you again." she said.

"What are you on about L-L-Lily" Belle said through a yawn. "I'll explain later." she said as she shut the door and walked downstairs. A minute later there Sirius appeared at the bottom a second later, hair damp, but fully clothed and smiling. He looked at his hands for a second before hastily shoving them into his pockets. They walked around the school talking happily and coming to an agreement that they would both forget about the accident and pretend it never happened.

By the time they got down to the Great Hall all their friends were there eating, and they were back to flirting. An hour later they were all in the Entrance Hall on their way to Hogsmeade when they heard an unpleasant cold voice behind them.

Oh! This is a sight to see" Snape said from behind them, they all turned to see him standing there alone. "A bunch of mudbloods and blood traders together." James and Sirius both made violent movements toward him but were held back by Belle, Anne, and Madison who cursed at him but whispered "Lily can handle it." they stopped struggling, while snape stood there and smirked.

"Yes and this is coming from the boy who's only friends are the one's he dips his head into every morning." Lily sighed carelessly but loud enough to make passers snigger and glare. James and James laughed and Sirius looked impressed.

"Watch it Evans, one day your friends won't be there for you." Snape called turning his back.

"Yeah but, by then I won't need anyone to protect me especially against idiots like you." she said sarcastically. He disappeared. "Let's go" said Lily walking in the direction of Hogsmeade. They laughed and joked all the way down to the village.

"Hey Sirius, you wanna go to Zonkos, I need to stock up on Dung Bombs" James asked looking at all the shops. "Sure," Sirius grinned "What about the rest of you?" he asked glancing at the others.

Lily glanced at Madison and replied, "Maddy and I will come with you guys" she hesitated then said "and then we can all go to Honeydukes and the Three Broomsticks." James and Sirius smiled and looked at Peter, Remus, Belle, (who was still glaring at Sirius) and Anne.

"How about we meet you at Honeydukes?" said Remus noticing the look on Belle's face, Sirius noticed it too obviously cause he didn't reply he just smiled and left.

"Told you she wasn't happy with you" Madison laughed.

The four entered Zonko's and the boys walked to a certain isle titled Dungbombs, while the girls looked around and walked over to a shelf with fake wands. Until a hand went on their shoulders which startled them; they shrieked and turned around.

"Well no need to be alarmed young miss'" said the man, he had a wonderful accent which made there knees weak. He had crazy hair that was spiked, it was a lime green, he had a young soft face. "I'm Alex Zonko, my father runs the place." he smiled, his violet blue eyes twinkled, he had to be about 18, 19 or at least 20.

"Alex, my boy, you are supposed to be helping me stack the boxes of dungbombs" an older man came out, his hair and eyes were the same as Alex's. But the whole time the girls kept their gaze on Alex.

"Well I see we have a reason to come back next time." whispered Lily, the two girls giggled quietly, Alex turned to face them and smiled a dazzling smile. James and Sirius walked up holding their shirts that were full of dungbombs, fire works, and other stuff. They put their free arms around the girls' shoulders, Alex looked a little hurt by this.

"Hello Alex, Mr. Zonko." smiled Sirius.

"Hello James, Sirius. Wonderful seeing you here again." Smiled Mr. Zonko, "Are you here, together?" he said nodding at Lily and Madison.

"No sir, we just followed them in, we're not together." said Lily, they shoved the boys' hands off. "Well are you guys finished yet, I think we should go." Madison smiled shyly at Alex.

"But why, you guys need the Grand Tour." Sirius puffed out his chest.

"Oh of course, come with me, come with me!" Mr. Zonko put a hand on the girls backs and led them away.

"Dad, please don't do this. Come on stop embarrassing yourself!" Alex followed.

"We will meet you two later!" called James, in no time they paid and left.

"But son, what is embarrassment without a few good laughs. Ah, now ladies here is my sons great idea: Flea's in a Box! 1,000 fleas per box. You can use it as a good "pretend" present for your enemies birthday or for Christmas, or just for some odd reason. Alex kept following them around. "Alex my dear boy, don't you have a job to do?" they stopped, his voice was a little harsh. He looked at the girls then at the floor.

"Yes sir." with that he turned and left, the girls looked at each other, they were thinking the same thing, "Poor Alex".

- In Honeydukes -

"Where is Lily and Madison?" asked Remus when James and Sirius sat down.

"Oh, there still at Zonko's getting the Grand Tour." James replied. Sirius sat down infront of Belle, who glared at him, and yawned. Sirius could feel her eyes on him and tried to look away but felt terribly uncomfortable.

"Belle, err...uh...is there something wrong?" Sirius asked turning back to look at Belle, who glared again and said, "Thanks to you, I'm tired, grumpy, and did I mention I'm tired!" she hissed glaring at him still.

He looked at her apologetically then looked at her with an evil grin. "Well Remus told me to!" he sighed trying to look innocent.

"Oh yeah, really funny!" She said sarcastically "too bad that I don't believe you!"

"Fine, I promise next time I'll send her flowers" he said looking put out. She still glared at him, so he got up and walked around the store; when he came back, he was carrying chocolate frogs, cocoa balls, acid pops, and all kinds of other goodies.

"Here this is for you especially," he said handing her a bouquet of chocolate roses, "my apology," he said giving her a puppy dog face.

"What are they?" she asked suspiciously.

"Chocolate roses with caramel in the middle" he said simply, smiling happy. Belle looked at him skeptically but took the roses and smiled.

"Are these new, I've never have any before!" she said taking a bight, "they're great!"

"Yeah, they're pretty new." he said smiling, "so am I forgiven for the howlers I sent?"

"Of course, if you never send howlers that late again." she said giggling as Remus walked up behind her and grabbed her shoulders.

- Lily and Madison -

They had just left Zonko's, they carried many bags containing dungbombs, a few fireworks, fleas in a box, and some itching powder.

"I think I'll leave a bit of that itching powder on Sirius tonight" Madison sighed happily.

"Yeah, James could do with some too." Lily muttered grinning evilly. Minutes later they were in Honeydukes searching for their friends.

"Hey there!" said a familiar voice from behind them. The girls spun around to see Alex standing behind them, "Do you girls wanna go get a butterbeer?" he asked smiling. Lily looked at Madison smiling, "Okay su-" she began to say but was cut short by another familiar voice behind her.

"Hey Lils, Maddy" said James putting his arm around Lily again, she turned red and pushed James' arm off her again.

"Actually we were gonna meet our friends" Madison said hurriedly covering up Lily's words, "Sorry".

He looked put out but told them to go back to Zonko's more often, the girls reassured him they would, then departed with James (who hadn't paid attention to the conversation.)

"So how did the tour go?" James asked as they sat down next to Sirius, Belle, and Remus.

"Oh it was great." Lily sighed smiling.

"Where's Peter and Anne?" Madison asked noticing the absence of Peter's munching and crunching.

"They wanted to talk at the three broomsticks." Sirius said grinning, "Alone," everyone chuckled.

"Ah Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, and Mr. Lupin" said an older man walking over to the group. "How are you, have you bought anything new today?" he said beaming at the girls. "Oh yes, and Miss Evans, Miss Fawcett, and Miss Perkins. Are you all here together?" he asked looking from the boys to the girls.

"Well er...kinda we're just here hanging out together" Lily said awkwardly glancing at James.

"Ah yes" he said beaming still, "Well I see Miss Perkins has had some of the chocolate roses."

Belle looked at him startled, wondering how he knew. Everyone had turned to look at her, Remus could see it perfectly, her once dark brown eyes had become a soft caramel brown.

"Wow Belle, your eyes are different" Remus said smiling at her, Belle glanced at Sirius as Madison and Lily leaned in to look at her eyes.

"Wow, they're pretty Belle." Lily exclaimed. Belle glanced at Sirius and smiled.
