Chapter 9 - Why I hate Sirius Black.

When Moo woke in the morning, or afternoon, she summoned the largest slab of Honeydukes chocolate she had. She was the biggest chocolate addict in Gryffindor and had the biggest stash in the tower. Moo snapped off a bit of the honeycomb and began to eat away her sorrows.

"Come on Moo, get out of bed" Denzi said, entering the room with Lily, both having already eaten breakfast and lunch.

Moo continued to stare into space and eat her chocolate.

"You've got to get out of bed" Lily tried "Tell him how you feel."

"He won't listen to me" She said, her voice a bit croaky having not spoken all day.

"How do you know?" Lily persisted "You haven't even tried."

"He won't, I know it."

"That's enough, Moo" Denzi said sounding exasperated. She took the chocolate off of Moo and pulled back the blankets. Lily grabbed Moo by the arms and pulled her arms. They then pushed her into the bathroom where she gave in and had a shower.

"Do you think we should wake him up?" asked Peter anxiously, speaking of Remus who was sleeping off the terrible night he had had in the Shrieking Shack. Peter looked between his other two friends, trying to decide who to side with if they both took a different view to the situation. Both boys were extremely handsome and popular, but in terms of power, James had more, he was after all Quidditch captain. So Peter decided that he was going to agree with whatever James said.

"Let him sleep it off" James said "He always needs a good rest after he deals with his furry little problem"

"I agree" said Peter quickly.

Sirius gave him a you-always-side-with-James-because-you-have-no-brains-of-your-own look and said "But he might want to sort things out with Moo before dinner, and we all know that might take a while. Besides, he never usually sleeps in this late." This late meaning 3:30 in the afternoon.

"You have a point" said James.

"Yeah, I agree" Peter said quickly, not wanting to be left out.

"Shut Up…" came a voice from amidst the pile of blankets that the three had been talking about.

"Moony! Buddy ol' pal."

"Shut up, Padfoot." The owner of the voice now pushed the blankets off his head and looked at his friends. "I liked Prongs' original idea, of letting me sleep."

"Come on, you're gonna have to face her sooner or later." Sirius said, throwing a pillow at Remus.

"I pick…Later." Remus replied, the words muffled by his pillow, which his face was currently buried in.

"Look, Remus, you know you wanna make up with her, and she wants to make up with you." James reasoned "She doesn't care about your furry little problem. The look on her face when she ran past us crying last night didn't show that she was scared of you, she was regretting breaking up with you and yelling at you."

"James' is right, get out of bed." Sirius said seriously (A/N – Lol, the lameness cracks me up, every time).

Down in the empty common room, Lily and Denzi were waiting for Moo to finish her shower, when they heard 3 sets of feet coming down the stairs from the boy's dormitories. They looked up and saw that it was James, Sirius and Peter.

"How is he?" Lily asked, moving over a bit on the couch to make room for James.

"He's okay." He replied "He's in the shower now; he thinks Moo never wants to speak to him again."

"That's what Moo keeps saying; she's in the shower as well." Denzi said.

"Why don't they get it?" Sirius asked "They both want to get back together."

"Their probably just a bit confused" Lily said.

Again, foot steps were heard on the stairs, this time coming from the girl's dormitories and Moo came into view. When she reached the bottom of the stairs everyone saw that Remus was also coming down from his shower. The girls gasped at a long red scratch on his face, running from the middle of his left cheek and down to under his chin. Moo and Remus looked at each other before Remus said awkwardly,

"Umm, can we go for a walk, and talk maybe?"

Moo nodded and they left out the portrait hole together.

"They'll make up." Lily said after they'd left.

Peter then stood up and said "I'm going to the library to get some study in and then I might get some food."

He left the common room and the others looked at each other.

"He is strange." Sirius said, whilst the others nodded in agreement.

"Hey Lils," James began "Do you wanna go for a walk?"

"Ok" They said goodbye to Sirius and Denzi and left through the portrait hole.

"I guess it's just you and me Sammy Wammy" Sirius said to Denzi moving to sit on the same couch as her and putting his arm around her shoulder.

She put a disgusted look on her face (when really she wanted to lean into his arms and stay there forever) and pulled his arm off of her. "Don't call me Sammy Wammy" she said "It's Denzi. I'm going to the kitchens, I'm hungry, wanna come?"

Remus and Moo walked silently next to each other down to the lake. They saw a few other couples at the lake, walking and talking out their problems as well as a few of the younger students skipping rocks on the waters surface.

"Does the scratch hurt?" Moo asked.

"Not really, I've had worse."

They walked a little longer in silence and when they were out of ear shot of any of the grounds occupants, Remus opened his mouth to speak

"Do you see why I didn't tell you?"

"No!" Moo replied "I thought you could have trusted me."

"I do trust you."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Moo stopped walking and sat down, took off her flip-flops (A/N – originally this said thongs because that's what we call them in Aus but I thought it might be misinterpreted in the States, lol) and dangled her feet in the water. Remus joined her and said

"I was afraid you wouldn't like me anymore."

"I don't care that you're a werewolf."

"But why not? I could seriously hurt you."

"Remus," She looked up into his eyes "I trust you, nothing could change that. You should know that."

"I know now. But I really don't want you to get hurt."

"I'll be fine" Moo said as Remus stood up, he held his hand out to help her up.

"So we're all cool?" he asked.

"Definitely"

"Hey," Remus began nervously as they reached the oak front doors "Do you still want to go to the ball with me? As friends?"

"No," Moo said, making Remus look surprised and disappointed. Moo stopped him by grabbing onto his arm just above the elbow and turning him to face her. She reached up and placed her lips on his engaging him in a kiss that they both desperately wanted. She snaked her arms around his neck as he placed his hands on her hips. They broke apart "I want to go to the ball with you as your girlfriend."

"Lily?' James said as they walked down out into the grounds.

"Yeah, James?"

"What made you be friends with me?" he asked. "What made you say yes when I asked you to the ball?" He put his hands in his pockets and kept his eyes to the floor the whole time he talked.

"I don't actually know." Lily replied, also looking down at the floor as the two made their way out towards the Quidditch Pitch. "All I did was call you James and you seemed totally different. You were really nice to me, not your usual pig-headed self."

James thought over what she had said. They reached the centre of the pitch and Lily cast a heating charm over them both and they layed down on the grass.

"What are you thinking about?" Lily asked.

"You."

Lily just laughed. "Why would you want to think about me?"

"Because you're perfect."

Again she laughed before wriggling closer to James and resting her head on his chest, his arm wrapped around her. They both closed their eyes and breathed in deeply, taking in each others scent. With out knowing it, they lay there for the rest of the afternoon.

"I'm going to the kitchens, I'm hungry, wanna come?"

"Sure Sammy Wammy" Sirius said jumping up and motioning for Denzi to exit out the portrait hole before him, "Ladies first."

"Thank you" she said "and stop calling me Sammy Wammy." As much as she liked Sirius, she was refusing to admit it and was determined to not think of him in that way. She was hungry and he was her friend. They were just two friends going to eat food together.

As they walked they talked about things like Quidditch and Christmas, until Sirius turned the topic to relationships after they entered the kitchens and ordered various foods.

"So, when do you think Lily and James will officially get together?"

"Umm...the ball." Denzi said, sitting opposite Sirius and picking up a Pumpkin Pasty from the tray in front of her.

"Really? I reckon before then. James wants her so bad."

"HA! I know it's so obvious. Lily likes him heaps to; she's just so blind sometimes."

"I hope she opens up soon because I can't stand him going on about her so much."

"He talks about her that much?"

"Yeah! He doesn't bloody shut up." Sirius said, and then finished his pasty before looking up into Denzi's face and saying

"So you're going to the ball with Lewis Pemberton right?"

"Yep." She replied "Who are you going with?"

"Vivian Parker. She's in your dorm isn't she?"

"Yeah." Denzi muttered darkly.

Seeing Denzi's anger towards Vivian, Sirius changed the subject to something a little lighter and they left the kitchens.

"Sirius!" A voice called from behind them.

The pair turned to see who the voice belonged to and saw that it was Vivian Parker.

"Hey babe," Sirius said and he found himself being engaged in a kiss that made Denzi want to be sick.

The couple pulled themselves out of the kiss and Vivian looked at Denzi with disgust.

"What are you doing with her?" she asked still looking at Denzi but addressing Sirius.

"We were just getting some food" he replied "Do you wanna go somewhere more private." He said quietly to Vivian, his head so close to her that he could have licked her face.

They left together, giggling and holding hands, Sirius with out such as a glance at Denzi, who was left standing in the middle of the hallway.

I can't believe him. Stupid Men! Denzi thought that is why I hate Sirius Black. She headed in the direction of the Ravenclaw common room, to find Lewis.

A/N – FINALLY! This has been half done for ages; I can't believe I took so long to get this out. I'm quite happy with this chapter. I wrote the last bit while listening to Mugglecast HEHE! Who listens to that people? Anyone? You should.

Thank you for the reviews. Jazhpfreak (your party was awesome btw), the all mighty and PowerfulM, WhiteCamillia and zippyfox. I love you all! (I'm not scaring you, am I?)
