"Hey," Evelyn smiled sweetly up at Sirius. He looked directly in her eyes and her heart pounded. She felt as if she had just drank ten energy drinks, but better. His eyes were a grey swirling mass that stood out even more because of his dark hair and partly tan complexion. Sirius was not a naturally dark person, but he often spent large amounts of time outside and refused to put on a sun block spell. He thought it felt weird on his skin. Evie knew that it was just because he was self-conscious about how pale he is. She remembered how upset he had been in second year when a girl told him she would never date an albino.

"Hello, love," he whispered softly as he pulled her towards him, she gasped softly, "You know, baby, I've been thinking and I've been wrong about you all along. You aren't a child. You are a woman. A beautiful, bodacious woman who I want to take into my arms and love with all my heart and soul. In a completely romantic and not at all platonic way. So, baby," Sirius took her into his arms and dipped her towards the ground, "What do you say, do you love me?"

"Yes. Yes, Sirius, of course I do!" She exclaimed happily, reaching up to touch his face as he leaned in softly towards her.

"Then show me how much," He huskily sighed as he moved ever so closer towards her lips, "I just want to-"

"Fuck you!" Someone yelled in her ear.

"No. Go away." Though the dream she had was not exactly how she would picture her and Sirius getting together, they had almost been about to kiss. And if she was honest with herself, that would be the only time Sirius would kiss her. Or maybe he would give her a kiss on the forehead before they put her coffin in the ground. Some people do that. It is a bit gross though. Maybe he would miss me if I died? Oh, this is so messed up. I should not be thinking it would be cool if I died because Sirius would miss me. Oh, Merlin, I am getting way too invested in this boy. I wish he had never moved in with us. It is just too much to handle. I see him too often. What ever happened to the phrase out of sight out of mind. I need some of that right now.

She pulled her covers off her head and saw two grinning teenage boys on the edge of her bed.

"Morning sunshine!" Sirius smiled winningly at her.

She groaned and flopped back under her covers. She longed for him to leave, she could not stand the ache in her heart anymore. She wanted so badly to wake up in the morning and see his face, but not her stupid brother's face right next to it.

"Oh, is the wittle baby sweepy?" James cooed.

Sirius lifted up her covers, "Come here baby Evie, daddy will take care of you."

She slapped his hand away, aware of how many ways a person could use the word baby and that she currently liked none of them. "No touchy. And don't call me a baby. I am a woman. I have hips for carrying small human children and pushing them out of my body. Thus, I am a woman."

James sighed, "Why are you always telling us you're a woman. We get it already. Shite, you're like a broken record. You are really making this summer a pain. You just complain and complain and go on and on and you never know when to stop talking and-"

"You're the one who came into my room and woke me up!" She exclaimed, outraged at his accusations and blushing in the presence of Sirius.

"She does have a point, mate. And besides there are too many fun games to play that she has to take part in for them to be fun." Sirius reasoned.

"Valid entry point, my buddy." James nodded approvingly as he pushed his younger sister back against her bed. "Go to sleep. Your services are no longer needed. I have an idea, Sirius, so you and I never have to see this witch ever again! Come on," Sirius hesitated, looking pityingly, Evie thought, for a second at her.

"But, she's a perfect scapegoat." Sirius said, trying to sway James into seeing reason. "She really isn't bothering me that much and-"

"That's not what you said last night." James blurted.

"What?" Evelyn exclaimed.

Sirius shook his head at James, pleading with him to stop talking, but James ignored him, hoping to hurt his sister's feelings a little bit. "Remember, you said you were tired of her tagging along with us and that you think she is annoying most of the time. You also said the only reason to keep her hanging out with us is so that you can dunk her in the pool and prank her and stuff. So that's it Evie, the guest requests that your presence be removed from his. Hospitality is our first and foremost-"

"I get it, James, you can stop talking now," Evelyn muttered, blushing bright red and trying to ignore the beat of despair her heart was drumming. "Get out of my room, please,"

James stood and walked towards the door but hesitated as Sirius hadn't moved from his spot at the end of Evelyn's bed. "Look, Evie, it wasn't-"

Evelyn shook her head, staring at her hands which were folded on her lap, "No, Sirius, I think I got the message. I completely understand. It's no big deal really. Last summer of our last year at Hogwarts. I get it you want to spend it with the people that really matter to you."

"Evie-" Sirius reached towards her.

"Don't." She pulled away from him as tears that that she had been fighting back began to fall, her voice shook as she softly spoke, "Can you please just get out of my room."

She felt him move off the bed and towards the door. She didn't dare move until she heard the door close completely. When it did, she collapsed under her covers, shaking from silent tears. It was worse than she had expected. She had known that he did not think of her in a romantic way, but she thought that he at least liked her as a person. That at least would have been enough for her. She thought that he was her best guy friend and that she was his best female friend. Apparently, she was just the punching bag. She really was just like a sister too him. She gagged at the thought.

She wiped her tears as she thought of how they had first met. James had already been friends with him from the train ride, but at the feast first year Evelyn, James, and Sirius sat together. They had originally called themselves The Golden Trio. However, that quickly changed when they discovered that girls stupid and boys RULE! Evelyn was traded out for Remus and Peter, but she had continued to hang out with the five boys all throughout their years at Hogwarts. She just didn't understand What suddenly would make Sirius say these cruel things about her behind her back. She bitterly thought that perhaps he had always thought that and was just a good actor.

Evelyn wiped her tears away one last time. "That's it." She muttered to herself. She stood up and looked herself in the mirror. She told herself that she would never again cry over Sirius and that she would move on. She could meet new guys, stay with her friends this summer. Anything to get away from him and her demon brother. Evelyn figured that if she did that then she wouldn't have to worry about seeing him everyday. Out of sight out of mind. And hopefully out of dreams.
