Chapter 7: She loves you; He loves you

Sirius stomped into the dormitories and found the Marauders up their doing homework. Remus was lying on his bed perched on one elbow scribbling away.

"Hey," Remus said standing up as Sirius walked in. Sirius ran over to him and, not wanting to hex his friend, even in his fury, he pushed him down.

"What the bloody hell was that for?" Remus asked getting up slightly confused and slightly angry. Sirius ignored his question and swung and punched him in the face, and Remus face contorted with pain and anger. He punched Sirius right back. Sirius tackled him to the ground and pinned him. They began punching each other as James and Peter jumped up to pull them apart.

"What the bloody hell is your problem?" Remus spat as Peter held his arms and James kept Sirius in check.

"You're with Mimi aren't you? I told you I liked her and you kiss her!" Sirius yelled accusingly and all the boys froze.

"What?" James croaked looking confusedly between his two friends.

Both Sirius and Remus ignored him, but Remus held a similar look of confusion on his face.

"Are you out of your fucking head? I am not with Mimi you prat! Sure she's with me more than usual, but it's because of you! She's staying with me because I comfort her when she starts crying over you. Would you like to know why she is crying over you? Because she wants you Sirius! She's always wanted you. Remember back on the first night when Mimi was upset over something? It was you, she liked you but knew you to could never be more than friends. Than after you slept together you got her hopes up and then crushed her when you went and fucked Clark right after her, when you made her feel like she wasn't good for more than sex to the great Sirius Black. But hell, she still wants you!" Remus cried and Sirius had the grace to look ashamed

"What?" He asked his tone mimicking James's.

"Mimi loves you, mate," Remus said dropping onto his bed now that he was out of Peter's grasp. Sirius did the same and looked over at Remus.

"I'm sorry I attacked you," he said and Remus gave a wry smile.

"It's alright. I'll heal, but Sirius Mimi won't if you don't fix this."

"I know Moony, I know," Sirius sighed.

Sirius sat in History of Magic the next day brooding. He didn't notice the dozens of girls who were watching him in awe as he pushed his glossy black hair out of his intense grey eyes and sighing. He could only think of one girl and she wasn't their staring. He had really fucked up this time. Remus's words replayed through his head as he sat there, "I'll heal but, Sirius Mimi won't if you don't fix this." He was going to fix this and he needed to start somewhere, so as soon as the class let out he went and found Eleanora Clark.

"Eleanora! Oi, wait up," he called and Eleanora turned and waited for him.

"Oh hey sexy, how's it going," Eleanora whispered huskily grabbing his tie and coming closer.

"I'm Fine. Listen, I think we should stop seeing each other," he said quickly. She let go of his tie and backed up.

"What?!" She exclaimed.

"Eleanora, you're gorgeous and sexy but it's not working. It's been fun, though," he told her. He knew he was being harsh but he didn't care and he watched as her pretty features grew marred with anger.

"I hope you know you're never going to get me back," she shouted at him and stomped off. 'Well, at least she didn't slap me,' Sirius thought to himself as he continued off to Charms.

"I dumped Clark," Sirius said as he entered the Charms classroom. James, Peter, and Remus looked up at him with odd expressions.

"What's going on guys?" Sirius asked looking at them warily. Finally James spoke up.

"Amos dumped Mimi."

"What why?" Sirius asked half happy half angry that someone could hurt Mimi any more than she already was (he tried to push the fact that she was hurt because of him out of his mind.)

"She said he said he didn't like being around her when she was all upset. He wanted to have fun and she wasn't playing. She's in the bathroom right now with Lily, Sarah, and Arabella crying," James explained to him his voice bitter.

"What an asshole," Sirius swore.

"Yea he is," the rest of the Marauders agreed. Sirius threw his (unused) books down on the desk and sprinted out of the classroom.

"Where is he going?" James asked Remus.

"Where do you think?" Remus said.

"Sirius sure has been giving a lot of people bloody lips today days," James said and Remus instinctively touched his own.

"That's for sure," he said glancing one last time out the door before starting his notes.

-----

"Oi Diggory," Sirius called out to the tall Hufflepuff striding along with his friends.

"Black," Amos said turning around.

"I heard you dumped Mimi," Sirius said in his usual blunt fashion.

"No offense to you or your little friend Black, but she was no fun after that first date. And you know how it is, all work no play means no sex today," Amos said with a wink. Normally, Sirius would have gone for his wand and hexed Amos into obliviation but his anger overtook him and he punched Amos hard in the face. Amos staggered and then came at Sirius. The boys wrestled and punched each other until McGonagall came running up.

"What is the meaning of this?" She cried as the two boys froze.

"He attacked me Professor," Amos cried.

"Mr. Black?" McGonagall turned to him.

"He deserved it," Sirius said.

"Well, whatever the cause Mr. Black, that's 30 points from Gryffindor and a detention," McGonagall said and Amos let out a snort.

"Don't be so happy Mr. Diggory, there will be 30 points taken from Hufflepuff as well," McGonagall turned to Sirius and he saw that there was a trace of a knowing smile on her face before she hurried off.

-----

"Come on Amos let's go mate," One of the Hufflepuff's said to their friend pulling a glaring Amos away from Sirius.

"Remus! What happened to your face?" Mimi asked as she saw him enter the common room.

"Gee thanks, Mimi," he joked.

"No, sorry I mean your lip and the cuts? You look like you just came back from a full moon," Mimi said running her hand over his many scrapes. She paused at his lip, which showed a bloody crack running down the middle, and took at her wand to heal it. Remus smiled his thanks.

"Sirius and I got in a bit of a fight, but I personally think Amos Diggory's face looks a lot worse right now," Remus said. Mimi stopped running her thumb over a bruise on his cheek and looked up in surprise.

"Sirius beat you- wait what about Amos?" She asked.

"Sirius beat him up too," Remus said with short laugh.

"Why?" Mimi asked half hoping for an answer of 'For you.' Not wanting to let her true feelings show she quickly busied herself healing a scratch across his eyebrow.

"Because he heard he dumped you," Remus said giving her the answer she had been hoping for. She dropped her wand and looked up her face flipping through emotions: disbelief, anger, sadness, happiness.

"He beat him up for me?" Mimi whispered almost not daring to believe it.

"Yea, Mimi, Sirius loves you." Mimi looked up at him and than ran from the common room.
