Okay so this is chapter 10. I posted this more for my benefit because it's my favourite chapter and it would be a shame if no one could read it. However, I was disappointed from the lack of comments I received on the last chapter. This chapter contains alot of mushiness. It is a fair warning. If I don't get at least 6 reviews I'm not going to post any more chapters and Moaning Myrtles' also in this chapter. I just like her so I added her in.

Let's Make A Memory

It was the first week of April and the weather was warming up. We spent more time outside as the leaves on the trees began to grow and the flowers began to blossom.

"Only 2 more months until we're finished" Sirius said as we were all outside the Saturday afternoon.

"And N.E.W.Ts" Lily piped up as her and James leafed through a D.A.D.As textbook.

"I'm not worried" he shrugged and laid down, his hands behind his head.

"You should be. I haven't seen you pick up a book in ages" Remus replied as he repositioned himself against the tree he was leaning against.

We all shared a laugh.

"I don't have to study because I'm Sirius Black" he replied.

I rolled my eyes. "All the more reason to study".

"Oh ouch Abs" he said sitting up as we laughed again.

I handed him the potions textbook I was looking through and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Lily asked looking up.

"To the loo. I'll be back in a minute" and I jogged up the castle.

"Hey Abby. Where is everyone?" Alice and Frank stopped me as I neared the castle.

"By the lake" I replied.

"Where are you going?" Alice asked.

"The loo".

"Oh I did not need to know that" Frank said and began to head down the path toward the lake.

"Hey you wait up!" Alice called after him. "I'll see you after you get back from the loo" she laughed at her rhyming scheme and than took off after her boyfriend.

Instead of going up to the fourth floor to the washroom I went to Moaning Myrtles bathroom. It was haunted by a girl who died in the castle in the 50's. She was pretty harmless.

"Myrtle?" I called stepping in.

"What!?" the ghostly image of a girl with large black glasses surfaced out of the floor.

"I just need to use the bathroom" I told her.

"And why tell me? I'm not your friend" she sniffed.

"Oh" I replied as I slipped into a stall.

"Oh? What did you want to be my friend or something?" she asked, curious.

"Well I'd like to be" I said. It was kind of awkward having a conversation with a ghost whilst on the loo but if you didn't distract her she'd yell and scream until you got out of her bathroom. I found a way around this in second year. The only thing Myrtle wanted was some company.

"I hear that you and that boy Sirius Black are going out".

I giggled. "Where did you hear that?"

"Well these girls were talking about it when they came in to fix their make-up the other day. I only listened for a minute and than I told them to get out of my bathroom".

I stepped out of the stall than began to wash my hands. "No we broke up a month ago. But we're still really good friends".

"What's it like?" she asked appearing beside me.

"What's what like?"

"To have a boyfriend. I never had one" she whispered the last part.

"Well it's a lot of everything. Trust, honesty, respect, love but at the same time it can be sad, and depressing"

She nodded than looked at the door. "There is a boy listening to our conversation" and she sunk into the floor.

I shook my head. Sometimes that girl was a little much.

A minute later I stepped out and ran into Chad.

I could feel my face go red because we hadn't spoken since the night in the Astronomy Tower.

"Who were you talking to?" he asked.

"Myrtle" I replied beginning to walk away. He followed.

"Why? She's dead".

I rolled my eyes. "Because, it's not like you would understand anyways".

"Well from what I understood from the conversation you were having with a dead girl, you and Black aren't dating anymore?" he asked.

"No".

"Well good than. If you remember correctly I said we should take a break over the summer, not break up. So technically we're still going out".

I stopped and turned to him. "Actually were not".

He frowned. "Actually we are because I said so".

I was losing my patience. "Well I said we're not!" I snapped.

He than pushed me against the wall. "I don't like your attitude".

"Let go of me" I said struggling against him.

"Ever since you've started dating Black you've developed this attitude. I've been meaning to knock it out of you but your precious boyfriend doesn't let you out of his sights".

"And today's no different. Let go of her Charters"

We both looked over to see Sirius striding down the hall.

"This doesn't concern you Black" Chad snarled.

"Like hell it doesn't!" Sirius snapped and grabbed Chad by the back of his shirt and ripped him off of me.

"I'm alright" I told him as in inspected me.

"Black don't make me hurt you!" Chad called.

Sirius turned around as Chad had his wand pointed at us. "No, don't make me hurt you" he growled.

Chad seemed to have his lost his nerve for a second and Sirius turned and took my hand and we began to walk away.

"Whatever Black. You can have her. She was nothing but a good shag anyways".

Sirius stopped abruptly and before I could stop him he charged down the hall. Before Chad had enough time to react Sirius slugged him across the face. He fell with a thud holding his broken nose.

"Keep your hands of my girl, Charters" and he turned and began to walk back to me. I couldn't help but smile. Sirius was always going to be there for me.

"Your girl?" I asked as he took my hand again and we walked outside.

"Yeah. Well that is if you want to".

"Than I guess I'm your girl".

We stopped again and he leaned down and stopped just inches from my face. "I've been thinking" he whispered.

"That's amazing" I giggled.

"Oh be quiet you" he grinned. "Remember when I told you I loved you?"

"Of course I did. I'll never forget it, but why?"

"Well, I kinda wonder how you feel".

"Oh Sirius. I love you too".

He grinned. "Ah much better" and he kissed me.

When we broke apart I couldn't help but grin.

"I've been waiting for you to say that" he said.

"And I've been waiting for you to stop being a huge prat, deflate your ego a notch and ask me back out".

He raised a brow. "Well that didn't seem very nice".

I giggled. "I had to get it out. Now shall we?" I asked holding my hand out for him to take it.

He did and broke out into a run, dragging me behind him, to the lake.

Everyone had stored their books away by than and were just gazing out over the lake as the sun began to set.

It was peaceful as the warm sun began to sink behind the lake and the smell of flowers danced in the breeze.

Sirius and I sat down; our fingers still entwined, and looked out over the lake. Enjoying the silence and the company of our best friends.

I than looked around at the people I loved and had grown up with. Lily was sitting beside James, his arm draped around her shoulders, her hand clutching his. Remus was now standing against the tree and holding Cassie as they looked out toward the sun. He seemed peaceful and I could tell that he had decided to give Cassie a chance. I knew deep down inside he liked her.

Alice was sitting in between Franks' legs, resting her back against his chest. He had his arms wrapped around her waist, his hands resting on her stomach with her hands on top of his.

And Sirius and I sat hand in hand. Simple yet complicated, kind of like our relationship this year. I than gazed back out across the lake and sighed. 'If only it could last' I thought.

Half an hour later our stomachs began to grumble. "I'm starving" Sirius announced and stood up, dragging me with him.

"I second that" James replied and him and Lily ambled up.

Alice and Frank rose and Remus and Cassie walked over.

"Well last ones up to the castle are hairy Slytherins" Sirius yelled and everyone began to run to the castle, laughing the whole way there.

After Sirius finished his dinner, he disappeared and came back a few minutes later carrying a blanket and a smirk.

"What's this?" I asked him as he grabbed my hand and pulled me off the bench.

"Just come on" he said.

I couldn't help but tear up as he led me out to our spot. Our spot, when we were younger, would lie down and look up into the night sky at the stars.

He placed the blanket down and than took my hand and pulled me down with him.

"Just like old times" he said as we lay on our backs.

I snuggled against him and looked up into the night sky. "I missed doing this".

"I did too. I just figured we were getting too old for it".

I shook my head. "Even in our fifties will still do this" I whispered captivated by the beauty of it all.

"You think will still be together?"

I looked into his eyes. "Even if we're not together we're still going to be mates. And will do it" I said.

He grinned. "Will do it eh?"

"Sirius Orion Black!" I scolded him playfully.

"Abigail Storm Adams. I love you" and he pressed his lips against mine and pulled me as close as humanely possible.

I was going to give him hell for mentioning my full name, including my ridiculous middle name. But the kiss soothed my tirade and I kissed him back.

A few minutes later we broke apart and we looked up into the night sky as Sirius, the star shorn down on us.

"You notice the star you're named after shines the brightest in the sky?" I asked.

"Course it does. I would have changed my name if it didn't. There's no point in being named after a star if it doesn't shine the brightest" he grinned.

I nodded, "good point" and I placed my head on his chest.

A few minutes later Sirius sat up. I looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

He shook his head and leaned over me. "Nothing. Everything's perfect" he whispered.

I could tell there was something that he wanted to say though. "Go on" I said.

He frowned. "Go on?"

"Yeah. Say what you want to say".

"Well, I was thinking. This is probably going to be the last night will be able to do this. With N.E.W.T's coming up and everything, I figured maybe we could do something, something that we haven't done yet".

"And what is that?"

"Let's make a memory. Something that only you and I can share".

"What kind of memory?" I whispered as he brushed his lips against my exposed collar bone.

"An intimate one" he murmured as he nuzzled my neck trailing kisses up and down my jaw line.

I stiffened for a minute and thought about it. I really had nothing to lose because it was already taken by Chad. And I wasn't ready than, nor did I feel that connection with him and I still did it. But Sirius was different. I loved him and he loved me.

"Abs?"

His voice drew me out of my thoughts and I smiled and nodded. "Let's make a memory"

"Are you sure?" he asked.

I giggled. "What now you don't want to?"

"Oh of course I do. I just want to make sure that you're with me a hundred percent" he replied stroking the side of my cheek.

"I'm with you a hundred and one percent".

He smiled a sincere smile and kissed my forehead and than my lips. "I truly do love you".

"I love you too Sirius".

That night Sirius and I created something more than a memory. It was a bond, and a new feeling. Something that I could only experience with him. From that night on, I knew that I truly did love Sirius and he was the only one for me- or so I thought…

So they're together again, for now. There is going to be only 1 more chapter. Sad I know. But I loved this story so much that I was thinking of a sequel. It's going to be set between OTP & HBP. So when Sirius is out of jail. Abs will of course be in it and it will take you through what happened after Hogwarts and everything. So I want reviews for this chapter or I end it here.

I think 6 would do but more would be nice. If you truly want me to continue than let me know.

Thanks to all who reviewed
