It had been two weeks since Severus had walked away from him. He had tried since then to speak to Severus, but every time he tried the Slytherin made some sort of scathing hurtful remark and walked away. Sirius had since stopped trying. When he wasn't in class he was in his room just sitting there, staring off into space. Remus was starting to get really worried for his usually rambunctious friend; he had never seen Sirius look so depressed.

He walked into the room one afternoon to find Sirius on his bed. He was lying there on his back just staring up at the ceiling. "Sirius you've got to stop this; this is madness. It's a beautiful day, why don't you come out with us by the lake after some lunch?" Sirius merely shook his head, and Remus sighed. "You can't wallow in self pity forever."

"He won't listen to me; he hates me more so now than I think he ever did before." He flipped over onto his stomach, and buried his face into the pillow. Remus walked over and sat beside him, a gentle hand resting on his shoulder.

"Then make him listen Padfoot, don't give in too easily." With that he stood and walked quietly out of the room. Sirius sighed heavily and threw his pillow towards the door. He knew he was being childish, but Severus wouldn't listen to him. Damn Slytherin pride, damn it to the ninth layer of hell.

He cast a quick tempus charm, 12:30. He knew Severus would be going to the Great Hall for lunch. He decided what he needed to do.

He ran quickly down the grand stairwell, making sure to watch out for the moving stairs; it wouldn't do for him to fall and break his neck before winning Severus back.

He spotted Severus just outside the hall, he called out to him, but as usual he was ignored. He ran to catch up with his love.

"Severus please listen to me."

"No I'm done listening to you Black." The Slytherin walked past him and into the Great Hall. This was Sirius' last chance. He pushed open the doors and ran into the hall.

"Severus!" He yelled, and finally seemed to get his attention. "Please, listen to me." He stopped in front of Severus, painfully aware that every set of eyes in the Great Hall were on him. Whispers and rumors began to fly about, but he didn't care. He touched Severus' arm gently, and was relieved when he didn't pull away. "I was a prat before," Severus raised his eyebrow, "Okay a git," his eyebrow shot a bit higher, "Okay, okay I was an arse, but please believe me when I say I did not want you to get hurt in the slightest." The Slytherin sniffed in distaste. "If you believe nothing else I say, I implore you to believe one thing, that I never stopped loving you. You are the light of my life, the person I gave my heart to," tears welled in his eyes, "and if you want nothing more to do with me, then I understand." He turned to leave completely and utterly defeated.

Not a sound could be heard throughout the Hall as silent tears fell down his cheeks. A hand caught his arm and spun him around. He faced sparkling black eyes that swam with love, and Sirius couldn't breathe.

"You're an idiot Sirius Black, a foolish, self righteous Gryffindor who can't admit to his own feelings, but damn it all I love you." Severus pulled him close, and kissed him in front of the entire school.

And to Sirius was wholly shocked to hear not hisses of disgust from his fellow students, especially the Gryffindors, but cheers and clapping. Somewhere to his left he could've sworn he heard Remus say, "It's about bloody time." All was lost though, because he finally had his Severus back in his arms again.
