Chapter Seven.

Sirius instantly pulled back away from her worried, she turned up the stairs fighting back tears of pain from her bruises, he followed her up grabbing her arm to turn her and bringing her back down to him "Issa what's wrong, did I hurt you? You were the one who kissed me so there should be no crying this time." She smiled at his attempt at humour and took a deep breath, "I hurt my back you just pressed on the bruises, it wasn't your fault." He still had his hand on her arm but it was holding her gently not gripping her, she could feel his thumb stroking her arm as her moved closer to her "Maybe I could make it up to you" as he moved to kiss her Melissa realised what she was doing, she pulled back from Sirius and he let her go "Like I said, we can't do this." Sirius looked hurt for a moment before storming off to his dorm room, Melissa decided not to follow but turned towards the girl's dorm, behind her stood Remus, he did not meet her eye but looked hurt and turned back down the stairs.

She ran down towards him "Remus please wait, let me explain." He turned to her and this time he did look her in the eye and he looked angry and disappointed in her "Get changed Issa you look cold, I will be by the fire when you are ready to explain." She waited a moment before running to her room and getting clean, dry clothes on tying her wet hair up and heading back out of the room. She slowed as she reached the bottom of the stairs and saw Remus and Sirius talking, she couldn't hear everything till they started shouting at each other.

"I wasn't using her, if anything she was using me! Come on Remus you know me!"

They were both standing and facing each other now "Yes I know you Sirius, that's why I asked you to stay away from her!" Sirius moved towards Remus but Remus pushed him back "I did stay away from her Remus not that I would have been near her if you hadn't asked, we hate each other!" Remus laughed "Yeah it looked like that when you had your tongue down her throat!" Sirius growled "If you don't believe me ask her yourself, she is the one who kissed me tonight not the other way around. God knows why but it was all her, she is the one who pulled me to her, she is the one who started kissing me first. To begin with I thought it was a prank but after the last time I have no idea what it was." "You kissed her before?" Sirius rolled his eyes "Its not like it sounds, the first time was an accident." Remus roared "What you just fell on her lips!" "No, Remus listen to me, Issa and I talked about it and agreed it was just hormones" Sirius didn't get to finish his plea because Remus punched him.

Melissa ran towards them "Remus stop!" Remus looked at her then at Sirius before storming out of the common room, Melissa looked to Sirius who was holding his split lip "I am so sorry Siri I will go and talk with him, I'll make him understand I promise" Melissa ran out to find Remus. She did not see the smile Sirius had spread on his face, she had called him Siri and he had liked it, he shook his head to get the thought out of his mind.

Melissa looked every where for Remus she was heading along to the library when she saw him walking to the clearing by the lake outside, she ran as fast as she could and didn't stop till she reached the clearing, which was now empty. Sighing she started to think about what she had done, Sirius meant nothing to her and yet Remus was her best friend and only person she trusted, if she lost his friendship she didn't know what she would do, tears began forming in her eyes again and this time she just let them fall.

She turned to go back to the castle thinking where else to check and stopped when she saw him there, he was leaning against a tree, she must have ran right past him, he wasn't looking at her but kicking a stone with his foot, she sobbed as she said "Remus please, I am…" he looked up to her and she stopped talking, realising she was crying he walked towards her and hugged her tightly but being careful of her back "What did he do to you?" Melissa mumbled into his chest "Sirius didn't do anything to me, honest."

Remus gently pulled her back and looked carefully at her "I wasn't talking about Sirius, I was talking about your father, I heard you say to Sirius you hurt your back, was it him?" Melissa didn't say anything but nodded slowly, Remus hugged her again and her hands grabbed the back of his jumper, once again he held her till she had finished crying. "You okay?" She sniffed but didn't move from his hug "I am, thank you." "Good now your okay can you please explain to me why I walked in on you making out with Sirius, I mean really you couldn't find anyone better then Sirius?" Melissa laughed "I know, I know but believe me it won't be happening again, a moment of mental collapse." Remus gave her a tissue as they stepped apart, "Not the first mental collapse so I hear" She slapped his chest lightly "Okay so there were a few mental blockages but they will not be happening again, promise, I don't know what got in to me, but you need to understand, it wasn't his fault at all it was all me, he was actually ignoring me when I kissed him."

Remus looked at her trying not to laugh, she smiled and folded her arms "What Remus J Lupin is that look for?" Remus copied her by folding his arms but smiling just as much as she was "Well Melissa Cayton I just can't believe you kissed Sirius, him kissing you I can understand but why would you kiss him?" She sighed but kept smiling at him "Believe me I have no idea, its not as if I have never kissed anyone before it's just the first kiss was totally by accident and though I hate to admit it, especially to you but well he is a good kisser. When I got back today I was not exactly feeling great, I was tired from being home, bruised from also being home, I was soaked to the skin because I didn't take my cloak home with me and when I saw Sirius on the stairs I didn't want to fight with him, so I kissed him. God that sounds bad doesn't it, I don't even like him." She paused as she remembered what she had over heard "Did you ask Sirius to stay away from me?" Remus turned slightly red.

Reviews will make me happy.
