Disclaimer: Have you read about Sirius and Bellatrix getting together? No. Then its obvious I don't own Harry Potter or anything related.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sat down on the cold rock, and only then did I let out the breath I had been holding.

Is it true, Sirius?

It is!

You've just told James Potter that you like me and that nobody else could ever know, but I heard you.

I know.

It makes me giggle worse than that Mudblood did when you --

That is not of importance.

What is, is that you like me.

Your own cousin.

I wouldn't think you would sink this low.

Perhaps I would too.

I know you're worth it, even if you don't associate with the best of us.

The best of wizards.

And yes, it may not do me good.

It may be a waste time, but...

... I would like to try.

If you ever get the courage to tell me.

Just the idea of it makes me giggle and--

Some Ravenclaw first years look at me weirdly.

Like they haven't seen a girl giggling of her own before.

Really, if they only knew...

So that's what you are thinking when you are looking at me from across the hall.

That weren't feelings of hate in your eyes, no.

It was something else.

Perhaps love.

Perhaps not.

It is a bit too much to request.

But you have to admit-- the though of us as a couple is amusing, slightly disturbing yet... tempting.

It could be like a challenge.

We could try, but it would still end up the worst.

Or we could find out that we truly are right for each other-- Ha!

It would never be like that.

You chose Mudbloods, half-bloods and Muggle lovers over me, over the rest of the family.

Unless you change your mind...

... and only if I choose to forgive you...

... only then could we try.

I'll content myself and remain 'your secret fantasy'.

At least for now.

A/N: There it is! The second chapter.(I apologize if it is too short, but I didn't believe Bella will dwell much too long on her relationship with Sirius.)I have to admit, I was rather nervous writing it, and I still am. Its from Bellas' point of view, in case you couldn't tell and I am worried she isn't very much in character. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and I wanted to thank you if you have reviewed (supertackle!glomps to Artemis Wilde, ghost in the fog and Quick like bunnies for

reviewing) or if you think of doing so. Hinthint.

If you would like me to, I will start chapter three, the one in which they tell each other what they feel and – Well, you don't want me ruining it for you, do you?
