Chapter 5 – Confusion and some tears

"Do you listen to me?" Lily asked giving her friend a worried look. Sarah had stood without moving in front of the mirror for the past half hour, staring at her reflection.

"No." Sarah answered not looking at Lily. Kissed her.

Mary sighed. "Are you worrying about your looks?" she teased.

"No." Sarah said again in a croaky voice. I liked it.

"You look a bit peaky… Are you sure you you're well?" Anne asked with concern in her voice.

"No." But I still hate him. I still love Remus.

"Listen, Sarah. I know we were a bit … er surprised when you told us about Bla… Sirius, but we really don't mind. We accept it. If I hurt you, when I said Sirius was a git we other day, I'm sorry!" Anne continued looking a bit guilty.

"No." Sarah didn't know why she said this all the time. It didn't matter. I liked kissing him but I don't like him. Am I becoming a female Sirius Black? Just snogging and no feelings? No way!

"We should take her to the hospital wing!" Mary squeaked frightened.

"No." Sarah replied. I need to get out of here! "I think I have breakfast!"

"It's five in the morning! You woke us up, remember?" Anne called.

"No. I'll be fine. Go back to sleep!" Sarah turned without another glance back and left the room.

She heard Lily call after her "Is there any use to inform you, you're still wearing your nightdress?"

"No!" Sarah didn't care. The nightdress, a Christmas present from Lily, was short and low-cut, but no one was up yet.

"Cute dress!" Someone called, as she entered the common room. Sarah groaned. Who in Merlin's name is awake at this time of day?

It was the Quidditch team, of course.

Oh no! Sarah groaned again as she remembered who the two most celebrated players on the team were.

"Is Lily wearing a dress like yours right now?" James Potter asked eagerly.

"Yeah, I think so." She replied facing James and trying very hard not to look at Sirius.

James grinned. "Very unluckily we are not able to get into the girls' dormitories." This was Sirius, Sarah recognized him at once. He was probably smirking. Git.

She decided to continue to look at James, who was looking as if he was thinking very hard. There was an awkward silent and anyone except James and Sirius left for the training, happy to leave this embarrassing scene.

Sarah felt very uncomfortable. She felt Sirius staring at her intensely. James finally spoke.

"Well, I wondered if you could give this to Lily. Please?" He showed her a letter.

Sarah laughed. "Oh that would be a very unwise thing to do."

James looked puzzled.

"She's always really aggressive after reading one of your love-letters." She explained.

"I don't know why she doesn't like them." James moaned.

Sarah giggled. "Well I think, it's because they sound like written by an arrogant macho. She read a few to me."

"This is because James is an arrogant macho!" Sirius pointed out.

"What I mend to say, Lily likes boys with a soft spot." Sarah said ignoring Sirius.

"Oh. Ok. Well thanks. I think I'll try again!" James said with a thankful smile towards Sarah. "Coming, Sirius?"

"Just one moment. Go ahead!" Oh no! I don't want to be alone with him.

Sarah tried to slip up the stairs unnoticed but Sirius caught her arm and pulled her back.

"Let go!" She hissed. He did. Sarah backed away from him.

Sirius smirked. "I just want to talk to you." He said lazily stepping towards her again.

Sarah made instinctively some steps backwards. She hit the wall. Damn! Trapped!

"Well I don't want to talk to you!" she said hoping to sound impressive.

Sirius came still closer and a bit closer still. Now they stood so close to each other as two people can without touching.

Sarah blushed. Why was she blushing now? He watched her like a wolf watching easy prey. She felt very uncomfortable. The dress seemed like nothing at all to her and her light brown hair was uncombed hanging in her face.

Sirius leaned closer so that there faces were at one level. As he laid a hand on her shoulder she winced.

"Sorry." He whispered in her ear. "I didn't know you would mind that much. I didn't think it would affect you like this. You know, the… er what happened yesterday!"

"I'm not week or whiny. And I haven't fallen for you or something!" Sarah suddenly found her courage again.

Sirius grinned. "I know." His mouth touched her ear. She shivered.

"You are the first girl, who dared to slap me." He breathed.

"Yeah and I'll do it again if you don't get off me at once!" Sarah tried to keep her voice strong.

"Alright." He stepped back. His lips brushed her face fleetingly as he drew back his head.

Sirius left. Sarah waited until the portrait of the fat lady swung shut again, than she collapsed. She sat on floor crying, because she didn't know what to do and there was nobody she could ask for help.

I know nothing happens. I wanted this chapter to be much longer, but I've a very important maths exam tomorrow and I just couldn't write more just now. Sorry! Next Chapter will be more interesting and longer I promise!
