Declaimer: I own nothing you recognize, minus the plot.
Last Time:
"Because I was jealous of him. I was jealous of you talking to him but not me." He panted trying hard to catch his breath. "Why would you be jealous, why does it even matter." She pulled her arm free and started to walk when she heard it.
"Because I Am In Love With You…"
Chapter 6: Finding Out
Her heart skipped a beat. "What?" She asked uncertainly, afraid she heard the wrong thing.
"Sonia, I'm in love with you… I can't stop thinking about you. I don't even know you all that well, but I can't picture my life without you. " He let out a deep breath. She turned around; he was shocked to see anger radiating from her eyes.
"What is this, another one of your sick jokes?" She demanded. He was shocked. He stepped towards her raising his hand towards her cheek. "No, I'm in love with you." She pushed his hand away.
"I'm sure." She said turning back around and walking away. He caught up with her though and stopped her, but she just brushed past him and continued walking. She was so confused; She knew she had feelings for him. Even on her first night, she had felt the deep connection between them. But she was scared that she was going to end up like all of the other girls he has dated, used and then heartlessly dumped. She glanced back to see that Sirius had given up chasing her and was staring dejectedly starring at her back. She sighed and walked on, her head swimming with confusion.
The next morning at breakfast, Sirius was nowhere to be found. Her eyes scanned the Great Hall, not exactly sure what she was looking for. Her eyes landed on Severus Snape, who was looking at her intently. He nodded his head, which she understood as his apology. She gave a small, which he returned. The doors opened soon after, stealing her attention away from Severus.
It was Sirius and his friends. She watched on as he went and sat down quietly. He looked so tired; there were dark circles under his eyes and it looked like he hadn't even shaved. Another thing that was different was the fact that, instead of piling up his plate with the usual pile of food he was pushing around the food his plate absentmindedly. Sonia watched on with downcast eyes, which narrower at the sight of Jeanne, the resident slut, making her way towards Sirius.
Sonia felt anger surge through her body. But to everyone's surprise, He snapped out of his trance, and pushed her off his lap and stood up.
James watched. He had woken up that morning to find Sirius' bed empty. Remembering last night, James feared the worst. He had run downstairs only to find Sirius staring at the dying embers in the fireplace, sitting in his favorite armchair. He was wearing the same clothes from last night. It seemed like he was in a trance for most of the morning, doing everything almost mechanically.
During breakfast, he worriedly watched his usually happy-go-lucky best friend pushed food around his plate not eating anything. But the strange part was they way that he kept shooting glances at the new girl, Sonia, when he thought no one was watching him. James looked up to catch the eye of girlfriend who gave him a small smile and shot a pointed look towards Sirius and winked. He looked at Sirius for a minute before giving Lily a questioning glance.
'Sonia!' She whispered to James. It hit him like a ton of bricks, Sirius was acting a lot like how James was last year because of Lily, or the strange and stupid things that Padfoot ended up doing in front of Sonia, paralleled to how James was around Lily. He smiled inwardly, so Mr. I'll-never-get-tied-down was in love. He was really happy for Sirius.
James looked over at Sonia and practically burst out laughing. She was sending looks toward Sirius, herself, when she thought no one was looking of course. He saw her eyes narrow and he followed her sight to see Jeanne approaching Sirius and sitting on his lap. James smacked his head. Not the best of times for Sirius to go around with other girls like he usually did, especially if he wanted to be with Sonia. James couldn't help but cheer (silently of course) when Sirius pushed Jeanne off of his lap.
"Get off of me!" Sirius yelled pushing Jeanne away from him.
"Why though? You used to like when I used to do it before." Jeanne said, trying to look seductive.
"Keyword, used to, like we USED to got out. It's over Jeanne, get over it." Sirius made to go around her but she moved effectively blocking his path again. His eyes narrowed when she tried to kiss him but he pushed her lightly out of his way. "Get away from me you bloody slut…" He growled before stalking out the Great Hall pausing to look back at Sonia who gave him a questioning glance, before he turned back around and walked out. The look on Jeanne's face alone was priceless. Even the rest of their friends and house, except for Lily, looked shocked. James got up to follow Sirius to their next class.
This was going to be an interesting return for Mr. Match-maker, only this time, his identity was going to be James Potter not Sirius Black. Now the only question was, how was he going to do it
