Jamie left to the library after the incident in the Great Hall knowing nobody would bug her there. She walked down the musty rows of books looking for a book to read. She wouldn't deny it, she was a bookworm when it came to this library. She curiously picked out a book on Metamorphmaguses and put it in her bag. After looking a little bit longer she gathered her stuff and headed for the Gryffindor Common Room. Along the way she took out her book as she flipped to the history of Metamorphmaguses, she had become so into it she didn't look where she was going when she went up the stairs. Suddenly she felt herself run into something or someone as she looked up.
Standing there looking very ruffled was Jeanette, "Think its funny to run into me?", she asked in a superior tone glaring at Jamie.
"It was an accident, I wasn't looking where I was going.", said Jamie.
"Look, just because you hang out with the marauders doesn't mean that Sirius really likes you.", Jeanette said with a grin. "You should be sorry you ran into me".
Jamie sighed and knew that if she didn't say sorry she'd be here all day, "Ok, Im sorry I ran into you".
"You should be", said Jeanette moving closer. "But im not", she said as she quickly shoved Jamie down the stairs walking away right as Sirius walked up.
Sirius turned the corner just in time to see Jeanette push Jamie down and walk off. Jamie tumbled down the stairs as she tried to grab on to the railing while Sirius sprinted towards her.
"Jamie!", he exclaimed as he caught her around the waist at the bottom of the stairs. "Are you ok?", he asked worryingly.
Jamie stood up with a grimace. "I'm fine.", she said determinedly with a slight tremble in her voice. She grabbed a hold of the railing on the stair case as she started to limp up it.
"Jamie?", asked Sirius still watching her.
Jamie turned around and looked at Sirius holding back tears, "Yes?", she asked slowly.
Sirius strode over and picked Jamie up, "Your going to the hospital wing missy", he said teasing her as he carried her off with a soft smile as Jamie buried her head in his chest biting her lip from the pain.
"What have you done now Mr. Black?", asked Madame Pomfrey as Sirius sat Jamie down on a nearby bed.
"I slipped down the stairs and he caught me", said Jamie speaking up as she smiled at Sirius who returned it.
Madame Pomfrey shook her head. "Everyone is just so violent these days", said the nurse as she gathered a potion for Jamie. "Go ahead and tell the others Mr. Black, I expect a rampage once they find out.", she said leaving Sirius to go tell the others what had happened. Once Sirius left Madame Pomfrey turned back to Jamie tending to her ankle. When was the last time Mr. Black has so carefully tended for a girl, she thought watching Jamie. Her mind worked back to another time when Jamie and Lily had walked in along with Sirius saying that the two fell down the stairs. If there's one thing she had learned with this work was not to ask questions when it came to their group. She felt better of not knowing of the trouble makers and the girls. She couldn't help feel curious about them, as she always sees them running in and out of the hospital wing for various or random things.
"There you go my dear", she said to Jamie after she finished tending to her ankle. "Now don't strain yourself too hard and you should be fine", she said sternly even though she finished with a smile.
Jamie slowly stood up as Madame Pomfrey walked to the back of the hospital wing. She walked over to the door but stopped when she heard voices outside of the Hospital Wing.
"You pushed her down the bloody stairs", said an angry voice Jamie made out to be Sirius.
"You shouldn't be so upset", said Jeanette calmly. "Besides you don't need her, you have me", she said seductively walking closer to Sirius.
"Its because of you Jamie won't date me", said Sirius through gritted teeth.
"Oh please, that's your own doing", she said looking at her nails.
"Stay away from her, you could have really hurt her", said Sirius his temper rising.
"She's not hurt thought", said Jeanette in a voice that screamed I don't care.
"Your lucky I don't hit girls.", said Sirius furious as he tore into the Hospital Wing leaving Jeanette to walk off.
As the door flew open Jamie stepped aside to avoid being hit.
"Hey", she said softly as she looked at his angry face.
The anger slowly drained off of Sirius's face as he looked at Jamie, "Did you hear..", he started but Jamie surprised him by gently kissing him on the lips. When she pulled away he had a dazed look on his face.
"I heard", she said simply. "I should have believed you Sir", she tried to say but this time Sirius cut her off as he kissed her pulling her closer. Madame Pomfrey watched and just couldn't bring herself to tell them off as she swept to the back of the hospital wing leaving them alone as Jamie wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back. The feelings that they were both feeling was perfect. It was like a puzzle that had found its missing puzzle piece. They slowly pulled away from each other both smiling.
"Jamie", said Sirius staring at her intensely as he pulled her close again.
"You haven't seen anything yet", said Jamie flirtingly.
"What are you waiting for", asked Sirius with a cheeky grin.
Jamie leaned in, "We should probably go to the Common Room". Sirius looked at her with his puppy dog face causing Jamie to laugh. "When we get to the Common Room", she said as she teasingly kissed him on the cheek.
"Then what are we waiting for women?", asked Sirius as he head off to the Common Room at a fast pace. Jamie slowly trailed behind him due to her ankle. Sirius turned around once he realized how slow she was going. "Now to the Common Room!", he said as he picked her up bridal style claiming she was walking too slow.
They burst into the Common Room laughing as Jamie escaped out of Sirius's arms over to Lily who had already raised her eyebrows once Jamie crawled over and sat down on the floor in front of her.
"Guess what?", asked Jamie her eyes twinkling.
James looked up from his essay along with Remus. "Oops..that was kinda loud", she said as everyone turned and stared at her waiting.
"Are you dating that one Ravenclaw?", asked Lily curiously.
"No!", exclaimed Sirius causing everyone to shift from Jamie to him. James face grew into a big smile, "Padfoot mate..."
"Yes Prongs?", said Sirius grinning back.
"Your dating her", said James over dramatically.
"Indeed", said Sirius as he hugged Jamie from behind.
"Jamie, im so happy for you!", exclaimed Lily. "Even if he is a Marauder", she said seriously. Although if anyone would have looked closer they would have seen her hiding a smile.
"Im glad for you both.", said Remus finally talking. As soon as he said that Jamie stood up and jumped into his lap and hugged him.
"Thanks Moony", said Sirius.
"So we're friends again?", asked Jamie worryingly still in Remus's lap.
Remus looked at her seriously, "We never stopped", he said causing Jamie to squeal and hug her again.
"Lets give Remus some room", teased Sirius as he picked her up and set her on the couch then sat beside her.
Things seemed to have lightened up in the Common Room now that it was established that everyone was friends again. The group were all lazing about quietly as Remus and Lily read while Jamie just sat comfortingly in Sirius arms. James on the other hand sat in the chair in a routine releasing the snitch then catching it right after.
Jamie got up out of Sirius's arms (after much groaning) and walked over to her book bag to get out some parchment. She couldn't believe she had forgotten to write to her friend after all that has happened. She walked back over to Sirius after pulling out a quill and begun to write as Sirius curiously leaned over her shoulder trying to be sneaky. Remus raised his eyebrows as James also moved closer trying to look his curious side taking over him. Lily tried to contain her laughter as the two boys continued to act like James Bond over a letter. We must all be bored to death, she thought.
Jamie sighted as she looked at the culprits, "Do you want to know that bad?', she asked trying not to smile. Both boys nodded and couldn't hide their mischievous looks. "Im writing to my cousin, Emma. I haven't seen her since I came here", she said as her voice drifted off.
"You must have been close", said Lily moving closer ready to comfort Jamie.
"We are, still are", she said in a lighter tone, as Sirius wrapped his arms around her comfortingly. She sat the letter aside for later as she snuggled up to Sirius all her sad thoughts floating away.
"Sorry guys but I have to go to the library", said Lily as she grabbed her bag.
"No, Its okay", said Jamie content.
"Wait, Lily I'll come with you", said James surprising them all as the two walked out.
"Maybe they're getting better", said Remus speaking up.
"I hope so", said Jamie. "Maybe the fighting will stop", she said in a cheerful tone.
Remus chuckled as she went back to his book leaving the Common Room quiet next to Jamie and Sirius talking and the light sprinkle of raining outside.
