Chapter 8:

(Still flashback)

He shifted slightly and then pulled me across his lap, holding me close to him. It was such a sweet motion that I complete forgot why I was upset. I flicked my tongue against his and he seemed to get brave, quickly began to wrestle mine, which he quickly won, after all, I had almost no experience with kissing. We pulled away from each other and was taking some breaths. We stared at each other, unsure of what just happened.

He smiled and then tightened his grip again, making sure I wasn't going anywhere. I blinked a few times, then felt myself smiling at him as well. "I'm sorry again." he mumbled and then placed his head on top of mine, gently running his fingers through my hair. I sniffed and let him hold me close, it felt nice, I needed to be held. I went to close my eyes when I remembered what just happened, why I wanted to be held, but not by him! I tried to push him away, but he was older and easily overpowered me.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking at me, his eyes never leaving mine own. "I remembered why I was here, crying. You are such a jerk!" I know I sounded harsh, but what he did was too much to be forgiven. "I said I was sorry." he tried to hold me close to him, but I somehow found myself free of him. "It doesn't matter, you are so mean!" I said finally and ran up the stairs, leaving him to stare after me, confused.

(End Flashback)

I blinked and realized I was still staring out the window, now dark with nightfall. I moved away and went back to my room, which I found was messy because Rain had decided to make me pay attention to her. I quickly flicked my wand and the room started to clean itself, then moved to Rain, perched on her bed, watching me closely. "Now I know I haven't been around, but don't think that gives you a reason to be bad. I will spend as much time as I can with you!" I scolded her and she snapped at me, but playfully.

I began to play our game together, me sending mice flying around with my wand and her quickly hunting after them. After an hour, she settled down and was soon asleep, I sighed and moved to the bedroom to be with my thoughts. I placed my wand on the nightstand and rolled onto my back, staring at the night sky or at least how it looked outside at the moment. "I made a lot of mistakes back then…I feel like a fool." I mumbled to myself and pushed away thoughts of Sirius Black, not wanting to remember the past. However my mind betrayed me and my dreams were of him.

(Flashback)

I ran and ran until I found myself at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. I stared into those dark trees, everlasting fog, creepy sounds. I was entranced until I heard his voice. "Phoebe!" I turned and saw him running toward me, he would easily catch me, I'm too slow. I decided to try anyways and shot through the trees, hoping he wouldn't dare follow here. I hid behind a huge oak tree, it's limbs creaking at me. "Why would she even come in here?" his voice reached me, he was so close, how did he know where I was?
He jogged past me, his wand out, ready to defend against anything. I heard a twig snap and I slowly turned and saw the Centaurs stomping toward me. "You are not welcome here!" one called, the leader and I shivered, scared out of my mind. "You will die here." I realized they were talking about me, I was going to be killed for trespassing into their land. I sank to the ground, how would they do it? Their bows seem dangerous, but eye to eye with their feet seemed more like they would crush my bones with them.

I watched as they closed in on me and I shut my eyes, just begging that it would be quick. I heard sounds, but felt nothing, I opened my eyes and saw Sirius in dog form, standing between them and me. He had his teeth bared, his hair standing up, he was protecting me from the centaurs. I tried to stop shaking, but my body seemed to be chilled to the bone, unable to move at all.

"What's this?" "Animagus." they stared at him, he didn't budge an inch, but turned slightly to look at me from the corner of his eye. "Please leave us alone!" I found myself saying, finally being able to speak. There was no sounds at all, the forest was silent as we all stared at each other. "You are not allowed here." "Forgive me, I was running and didn't realize where I was." I tried to explain, but a younger stomped his foot.

"Just kill them both!" he was quickly pushed back by the leader, who watched Sirius and then myself. "Do you change as well?" I shook my head, it was the truth, I wasn't like the animal gang. "I'm just a witch…" he came over to us, Sirius started growling and moved so he couldn't get to me. "Calm down" I said and gently touched his back, he flinched and then settled down a tiny bit.

I moved to the leader and met him halfway, trying to prove I was trustworthy. "Are you afraid?" I nodded, I was beyond terrified, not knowing I was actually talking and not running for my life. "Do not be. I shall not harm you." his voice seemed sincere and I bowed slightly. "Forgive us for trespassing." he chuckled. "At least the girl has manners." I smiled at him, trying to persuade them to allow us to leave, I was concerned about Sirius. The leader flinched at my smile and then backed away slightly. "I've seen that smile before…" I blinked, I had never set foot in this creepy place.

They spoke to each other, I was unable to hear them, but soon they were all staring at me and backed off even more. "I'm sorry if I offended you." I tried and they all shook their heads at me. "Just leave and never return. We won't allow you to live if you do." then they all turned and galloped off, leaving me standing there confused. What was wrong with me now?

I heard a grunt and turned to see Sirius pulling his pants on. "Damn…" he mumbled under his breath and starting looking around. He was shirtless and searching the forest floor…I'm guessing for his shirt. His lean muscles seemed to glow in this sinister fog, he finally turned and looked at me. "You alright there?" I blinked and quickly nodded, turning away with a blush on my face.

I heard rustling in front of me and tried to back away, but ran into Sirius and tripped us both, making us fall on the ground. "What the hell Phoebe!?" he pushed me off and sat up to look at me. "I heard something." "Yeah we are in a forest, lots of things live here." his tone was back to normal, a jerk. I pursed my lips and kicked him with my foot, hoping it hurt. "Hey, why did you run from me?" he asked, tugging his shirt over his head. I shrugged, not wanting to show him I liked kissing him and him holding me.

He quickly smirked and jerked me back across his lap, the way we were earlier. He brought his lips right above mine and I was frozen in place, not knowing what to do or what to expect. "You are actually cute ya know…" he pulled back and grinned at me, he was making fun of me again, such a jerk! I glared at him and went to push him away, but he laughed and then pressed his lips to mine in a kiss that made my head spin.
