Chapter 9 – Think before you speak.

Brody's POV

"Brody," he said softly
"Mmm?" I answered, half asleep
"I think I love you…"

I opened my eyes and smiled, inside I was screaming with excitement. I didn't know what to say I thought it was too cliché to say I loved him too. So I took his hand and held it and then went back to sleep.

Sirius' POV

All she did was smile and take my hand and go back to sleep. I could feel my heart sink, I was hoping I'd get a response that consisted of 4 words and would make me the happiest man alive to hear "I love you too". But clearly we can't put all our galleons into hope. We'd end up broke in cases like this.
Why'd she hold my hand if she can't say it back?
Sympathy?
Yeah I'm probably right. She's too nice to want to upset me. I'll just tell her tomorrow it was the alcohol talking and I don't love her. With that I let go of her hand and moved her head gently off my lap onto the floor then carried her to the sofa and I went up to be completely disheartened.

Brody's POV

I woke up the next morning with no hang over. A miracle I must say the amount I drunk I can't remember a thing. Well I can remember one thing, one amazing thing that makes me all happy and want to run around screaming. Sirius telling me he loves me. I looked at the clock it was 12 in the afternoon my belly rumbled I skipped up stairs, happily singing to go and get ready for breakfast.

After half an hour of showering I was skipping around the dormitory pulling on my clothes and styling my hair with a charm. While doing all this I was smiling the goofiest grin imaginable and bursting into song now and again. At last I was ready at least a fraction satisfied with the way I looked I slipped on my dolly shoes and made my way down to the great hall. Humming all the way there.

I entered the great hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table and helped myself to some sandwiches.
"Good morning my wee drunken fart," James greeted me grinning.
"Good morning you raging homosexual." I smiled

I looked down the table and Sirius was sat looking very disheartened and didn't even make eye contact with me. My heart sunk, I began to worry that it was all a dream I felt instantly rubbish. I nibbled at my sandwich and sipped at my pumpkin juice and listened to the other laugh and joke with each other.

Once everyone had finished their lunch they began to stand up, and make their way back to the common room, as did Sirius. I walked beside and nudged into him and smiled. He smiled back and took my arm and pulled me along, "Brody I really need to talk to you" he said.
My heart started racing I was trying to work out all the embarrassing things I did last night. I mentally kicked myself as I remembered the millions of pervy questioned I asked him in my drunken state.

We stopped outside by the lake.
"What is it Fartiarse," I smiled trying to cover up the fact I was panicking over what he wanted to tell me.
"Last night," He started "I told you I loved you I just want to clear up it was the alcohol talking and I don't infact love you in that way." He smiled.
My heart sunk, I felt tears flood to my eyes. I felt angry, really fucking angry.
"You know Sirius," I began " you should really think before you speak."
"What do you mean?" he asked

"I mean," I hissed "You are a complete bastard!" then with all my might I shoved and he straight into lake. I then turned and ran to my dorm I could hear Sirius calling me back. I didn't want to know the boy anymore, he lied to me, and he wasn't even that drunk?! He could've at least had some control over what he was saying I on the other hand didn't have any control last night.

Remus' POV

I sat in the common room on my own reading the book Brody bought me last year, "blood and chocolate" quite ironic that it's about werewolves. I was truly involved in the book so much I winced at the thought of receiving a pure silver pentagram necklace for a present.

I heard the portrait open and someone crying I looked up from my book and saw Brody running up to her dormitory sobbing. I tried to think what the matter could be, the last time I saw her was with Sirius. The tears she was shedding had Sirius written in them, I sighed the two of them are oblivious to the fact the other fancies them rotten.

Five minutes subsequent to Brody running up to her dorm sobbing. Sirius traipsed in his clothes drenched looking, angry. I put my book down, "What's happened Padfoot, five minutes ago Brody burst in and ran up stairs crying!"
Padfoot was frowning and shoved his hands in his pockets, he told me all that had happened last night and today, it was really quite an accomplishment that he spoke about his feelings. I put that thought behind and listened after he told me he put his head in hands and mumbled about how he's an arse.

"I have to agree," I started "You really are an arse, you read too far into that little signal of Brody's and most of all you read it wrongly Sirius."
He sighed, " I know. I'm such and idiot! She'll never want to know me now!" With that he got up and went to his dorm.

The next two days were pure torture, not only were James and Lily constantly arguing… Brody and Sirius had taken to being complete arses to one another and yet when the other weren't around they were moping around and being pathetically sad! James caught onto their behaviour, so I told him all that had happened and then together he and I came up with a cunning plan.

"Really?" Peeves asked excitedly he looked as though he was going to wet himself.
" Yep… We want you to trash the common room," James said "But only when Brody and Sirius are alone together. Ok?"
"WEEEEEE" Peeves did somersaults in the air
James laughed at the crazed poltergeist, "Just meet us here at 7 tonight OK?"
Peeves screamed in approval.

7' o clock struck, Sirius and Brody were up in their Dorms moping and sulking.
Everyone else in Gryffindor was down in the great hall eating.
"SIRIUS, BRODY COME DOWN HERE NOW. WE NEED YOU TO COME SEE THIS" James shouted up the staircase. The pair came out of their dormitories that were opposite each other; as they walked down the steps they hissed one-worded insults at one another.
"OK you two just stay here we'll go get you your surprise." Lily said with excitement.
With that James, Peter, Lily and I ran out of the common room.

Peeves was outside the portrait to the common room and zoomed over to James, loaded with water bombs, stink bombs, mud pies the lot.
"OK peevsieboy do your best but make sure you scare them both under the same table and don't let them come out before you know for definite they've sorted out their differences."
"SURE THING POTTER" Peeves screeched in excitement.
I said the password to the portrait and peeves zoomed in screaming and shouting.

The five of us walked down to dinner mentally crossing our fingers and hoping they'd sort their differences out.
