Please review so I know if it is worth continuing the story or not. Thank you.
In the morning I wake up to whispers. "Where do you think she got it?"
"Its kind of obvious where she got it, the better question is why she kept it."
"Maybe she's going to where it to the match today."
"No way you think she'd do that?"
"Maybe she's planning to wear it latter on there date."
"Now you're just talking crazy."
"Well anything is possible."
"She does have a hickey on her neck, more than one actually."
At hearing this I jump up.
"No way; please tell me that was a cruel joke." I say dashing to the bathroom.
I look in the mirror and sure enough there's a small collection of two or three purple bruises on my neck.
"I'm so going to kill him." I say annoyed.
I turn to walk back into the bedroom to find all four of my friends standing in the doorway starring at me.
"What guys, you've never seen a hickey before?"
"Not on you." Caroline says.
I blush and move past them into the bed room.
"What's with the cheer outfit?" Marie asks.
Constance elbows her in the side. "Hey! What we were all thinking it." She says trying to defend herself.
"It was a joke he wanted me to wear it to the match today, I told him not even in his dreams would that happen. It's your fault actually he got the idea from you Marie apparently you mentioned it in passing sometime last month." I say.
She looks sheepish. "Sorry" She says starring at the ground.
I shrug my shoulders. Not bothered.
I hum as I get ready for my shower. I start to sing my favorite song from when I was little while I wash my hair. An old song that Grandma Canes used to sing to me; it's about a woman that lives in a small fishing village and falls in love with a sailor, but he gets lost at sea, so she calls to him at night hoping that her voice will bring him home to her.
I finish my shower and head back into the bedroom to decide what to wear. I pull on some cloth shorts and a tank top while I decide.
"Marie I don't know what to wear to the match. I'm actually very tempted to wear the cheer outfit; I think it would be worth it just to see the look on his face." I say and laugh as I imagine Sirius gawking at me in the outfit. Marie's jaw drops.
"You're actually considering wearing that thing, I mean I would totally, but I figured you'd think it was to revealing." She says amazed.
"I think I should I mean it's not as if the game is Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw. They're just going against Hufflepuff. I think it would be fun I could put my hair in a high pony with ribbons and I can put on glitter I think it would be awesome. We should all do it; really I think it would be awesome. I can transfigure some of your clothes, they wouldn't look exactly like mine but I think it would be awesome." I say excited.
"I'm game." Caroline says popping her head out of the bathroom a brush in her hand.
"I suppose it would be fun, and that outfit is kind of cute." Constance says slipping into her underwear.
"Sounds cool" Isabel says. At least that's what I think she said it's kind of hard to understand her while she's brushing her teeth.
"Okay I suppose, are you sure your okay thought Lizzie?" She asks.
I laugh "I'm fine; I'm perfect, I have my date with Sirius tonight and I'm just excited I suppose." I say happily.
For the next hour I sort through dozens of outfits trying to find ones that look the most like my outfit and then transfiguring them to have the right patterns and colors. All in all when I'm done they look pretty good. An hour an a half after that were almost ready to go Marie finishes the last of our makeup and I help tie ribbons in our matching high pony tales except for Isabel whose hair is to short.
"This outfit clashes with my damn hair." Constance complains.
"I could do a charms spell to temporarily change the color if you like just pick a color." Isabel says
Constance takes a minute to think it over. "How about white do you think that would look good on me?" She asks
"We could try it, hold still." Isabel says. The spell takes her all of ten seconds to finish and Constance's hair is pure white. She walks to the bathroom and takes a look in the closest mirror.
"Wicked, I love it Isabel thanks." She says.
With everything done we head down to the Great Hall for breakfast. We don't run into anyone until we hit the entryway to the Great Hall. We link elbows and walk in. People start to stare and some and even whistling we all sit down together and start to eat. I look up half way through my toast and nudge Marie who's closest to me.
"Guys look, look." We all look towards the door to watch Sirius and his friends walk in. I watch as he scans the room for me. He stops dead and just stares when he sees me. His friends look confused until they follow his line of sight and they see us too.
We giggle and smile as they all freeze and stare at us. I hop up out of my seat and walk over to Sirius and throw my arms around him.
"Hey! How you feeling? Are you ready to win?" I ask my voice overly perky and excited.
"Um, Yah, I suppose." He says stumbling threw his words.
"Is something the matter?" I ask my voice full of innocence.
"No, not at all; you look nice, I'm glad that the outfit fits you so nicely, a little to nicely I'm not sure I want you to wear that in public, I'm not sure I want anyone else to see you in this but me." He says his voice full of the same husky sound as last night.
"Too late, why don't you come eat breakfast with me? If you're good I might even give you a good luck kiss before the match." I whisper in his ear.
He groans.
"Something wrong Padfoot?" James says sniggering.
"Nothing I can't fix Prongs; good to see your feeling better and back in the saddle." I say smirking
Remus chuckles and James blushes.
Sirius looks at me confused. "Later" I say and lead him towards our table.
"You boys are welcome to come to." I say to the three other boys who are still staring at the rest of my friends.
I laugh as they fall over themselves to be the first to sit down next to them.
I grab a bagel and some cream cheese and start to eat.
Sirius opts for some toast and jam. We sit and eat together while watching the rest of his friends make fools out of themselves. Peter keeps trying scoot closer to Isabel in order to get her attention.
"Poor Peter is fighting a loosing battle. Isabel has her eyes set on a Slytherin seventh year." I say.
"Poor Peter, I have a feeling she'd eat him alive." He says, taking a bite of his toast.
"Oh, she won't, Isabel is all bark less bite; but I will." I say sipping my orange juice.
He winces slightly and I don't miss it. I smirk. "Keep that in mind." I say.
"I will" he says and takes a sip of orange juice from my cup.
"Your welcome" I say as I snatch my cup back.
"Thank you Liz." He whispers in my ear and I freeze.
"Padfoot we need to go or we'll be late." James says dragging me back to reality.
"Go you don't want to be late. I'll see you after the match." I say nudging him towards the door with James.
"Promise" He asks his hair falling into his eyes.
"Yes I promise, now go or you'll be late." I say
He walks out of the Hall and out of sight.
"Shit, I'll be right back." I say to Caroline and dash off after him.
I quickly see the back of him on the steps to the grounds.
"Sirius; wait up." I shout he turns around and I run into his arms. He catches me and I kiss him with all the passion I have. He releases me and looks at me confused.
"For good luck" I say before running back to the Hall and waving goodbye.
"It's a perfect day for a match not to cold but not to hot and not a breeze in sight ladies in gentlemen." I tune out the commentary and turn to watch Marie drool over Remus. She's doing everything but kiss the poor guy and he's totally oblivious I'm not sure who to feel worse for.
"Do you think she could be anymore obvious?" Constance says into my ear.
I laugh and turn to her. "I think the real question is could he be any more oblivious." I say
She looks again and we shake our head together.
"No way." She says. We laugh
Our fun is cut short by the player's entrance to the field. A soon as they call Sirius's name I jump up and down and scream.
"Go Sirius!" we jump up and down. Sirius blows me a kiss and we giggle.
We finally start and the match starts. I ignore the commentary, and turn around to see Isabel flirting with Max who seems to have appeared out of no where.
"It's good to see that potions help paid off right Isabel." I shout. She glares at me and blushes.
I laugh and turn my attention back to the match. Gryffindor makes their first goal and we stand up and scream. By the end of the match Gryffindor is wining Three hundred points to twenty. I almost feel bad for Hufflepuff; they're getting slaughtered. Marie is ready to pull her hair out. She's gotten absolutely nowhere with Remus; but on the plus side I'm pretty sure that Isabel and Max are officially an item. I chuckle at the irony. Usually it's the other way around, looks like the sister's luck is switched. Peter seems to have vanished after breakfast. He was gone by the time I got back to the Great Hall after my pre-Match good luck kiss with Sirius.
"James Potter Has Caught The Snitch, Gryffindor Wins The Match!" The commentary breaks me out of my thoughts and I start jumping up and down. Sirius flies straight towards us and stops and hops off next to me. He picks me up and kisses me. The rest of the world disappears and it's just Sirius and I.
He breaks the kiss and grins at me. I don't think I've ever smiled so much as I have in this moment.
We walk Sirius down to the locker room where his coach starts yelling at him for dismounting in the stands until Constance marches up to him and kisses him on the mouth.
"Chill Mark relax, I'll see you later baby." She says winking at him. He turns beat red and mumbles something we can't hear but sounds suspiciously like yes dear.
I giggle. "So, you want to help me shower?" Sirius asks pulling me closer and nudging me with his pelvis.
"Nope I'm not an exhibitionist, maybe some other time." I say
He pinches my ass and whispers "Tease" before taking off towards the locker room. I laugh
"Wait, where do you want to meet up for our date?" I shout.
"I'll meet you outside your common room babe." He says. I shake my head and walk away.
The rest of the girls are waiting for me when I get back to the dorm room. They've already change out of there uniforms.
"What's up?" I ask
"So need any help getting ready for your date?" Marie asks.
Isabel laughs. "Subtle Marie, very subtle" We all laugh.
"What; Hey I thought I was very subtle thank you very much." She says defending herself.
"How about a shower first, that sounds fantastic." I say the rest of the girls nod and we head to the showers.
When I'm all done I grab my fuzzy towel and happily wrap myself in it.
"Guys what do you think I should wear, maybe some jeans, or a dress." I ask searching through my trunk.
"Defiantly not a dress, Remus mentioned you guys were going to be outside, it's going to be cold, go with pants." Marie's voice drifts in from the showers.
"Really what else did you and Remus talk about Marie?" Constance teases.
"Oh my god, it was like talking to a monk. I mean really is it me am I coming off weird or can this guy totally not take a hint." She says. "I mean I haven't lost my touch have I?" She asks her voice worried.
"Definitely not, Remus just can't take a hint, maybe try being blunter; my friend Cassidy from Hufflepuff tried for months to drop hints to get him to ask her out last year and he didn't bite at any of them. Eventually she just straight out asked him if he was just ignoring her, or was he really that innocent. She said he had no clue." Isabel replies.
"He seems so afraid of letting anyone get close to him." I say.
I search through my jeans and narrow the options down to three. I lay them out on my bed next to each other trying to choose.
"I like the lighter washed ones." Constance says looking over my shoulder.
I give those another look. "I do too but I don't have many shirts that go with them." I say.
"I really like the dark skinny jeans with the rhinestones on the back pockets." Marie says as she walks passed me to her trunk.
"Red or black" Constance asks holding up two different sets of laced lingerie. "I'd go with black it will contrast better with your hair, talk about making a stunning impact." I say she shrugs and throws the red back and I turn back to my jeans issue.
"I think you should go with the regular strait legs." Caroline says as she pulls on her own jeans.
"Isabel I need a tie breaker." I say as I hear her turn off the water from her shower.
"Not the washed out ones, they don't leave enough shirt options. The skinny ones are cute, but those should be worn with boots to make a real impact, and you'll be outside. That leaves the regular strait legs, go with those." She says without even looking at them.
"Huh; how does she do that?" I say. Marie shrugs.
"Don't look at me I still don't know and I live with her year round." She says as she decides on a cardigan to go with her out fit.
I grab favorite black lace panties and push up bra and put them on. I pull on the jeans and put the rest back. I search through my shirts and decided one I tie-dyed last year. It's got all of the major Hogwarts colors on it. I throw a gold knit sweater over it. The sweater cuts off just below my belt loop and is loose enough to me modest but tight enough to show what little curves I have.
"Ready?" Caroline asks me, I nod and we head into the bathroom she keeps my high pony and curls it to give it a little more bounce. Marie strolls in and takes over my make up keeping it simple and natural. Highlighting my eyes and toning down my freckles. Finally Constance comes in and we search through my perfume and jewelry together we agree to keep the ribbons in my hair and decide on a simple gold locket. I hold onto it and say a prayer for courage. We sprits me with Cocoa Channel and call it a day. I sit trying to decide on shoes when Isabel walks over.
She digs in my trunk for a little bit and pulls out a pair of simple white ballet flats and hands them to me.
"You're good to go girl." She says as I slip them on my feet. I pace back and forth while I watch the rest of them get ready to nervous to sit.
We all walk down to the common room together. I let them step out into the hall first and follow cautiously. James and the others are there; even Mark and Max, but I don't see Sirius. I convince the others to go ahead, that if he didn't show soon I'd follow. I'm just about to when I catch a shadow out of the corner of my eye and he steps into the light.
"Hey, I thought for a moment you stood me up." I say
He laughs "After all the work I put in to get this date with you, no chance." He says and kisses my cheek.
"You look lovely Liz." He says and I blush.
"Thanks, you look nice as well." I say, and he does, he looks utterly delicious. He's wearing dark jeans with trainers, and a long white shirt with a leather jacket.
He shrugs "I try." He says and I laugh. "Come on lets go we have to hurry." He says.
We jog through the castle, sneak out the front door, and down to the lake.
There's a blanket sitting with a picnic ready and candles waiting for us when we get down there.
We sit and Sirius lights the candles.
"That's better now I can see my beautiful date." He says. I blush and smile. He burns himself on a candle starring at me.
"Ouch Damn it, sorry." He says. I laugh.
"What are you apologizing for you're the one that got hurt not me, come here." I say and she moves closer I grab my wand out of my back pocket and take his hand. I heal the burn quickly, and it's like it never happened.
"Your really good at that, the whole healing thing. James told me what happened the other day with Snivellus." He says
"Severus" I correct him automatically
"Lupin says you were amazing healing all of those burns. Anyone else probably would have fainted unless they were used to using that much magic at one time." He says.
I wait not giving up any information.
"How'd you do it? Even I don't know how to heal burns like that and I'm top of my class in Charms Class."
I shrug, "I had to learn at one point, for my sister. She's the reason for my no bad boy rule." I say holding my locket. He motions for me to continue and I do.
"When I was ten she started dating this bad boy from the muggle city we lived in, she was a witch like me. He was great at first, she loved him, or at least she thought she did. After a while he began to hit her. It was only once in a while, and she was careful to hide it from everyone, but one day I caught her sneaking in after dark and her eye was purple and swollen shut. She was convinced it was her fault she made him mad. She convinced me to keep it quite and help her. I was little and I idolized her. A year latter he raped her. She didn't tell me until latter but looking back the signs were there. She shied away from my touch more, her clothes were torn, and it was pretty bad. She stayed with him though, she'd convinced herself that he loved her and just didn't know how to show it. She thought she could fix him." I shudder and clutch my locket tighter.
"She attended Hogwarts during the year so it was the summers that were the worst for a while. He wrote her letters during the school year though. Some weren't bad, they were nice actually. Others were awful they were full of verbal abuse. Eventually she convinced our dad that she wanted to me homeschooled, they got permission from the Ministry and she was out of Hogwarts at the end of the month. Dad worked at the Ministry and had pull in all of the right places. For a while it was just verbal abuse after she quit Hogwarts. She used to stay up all night sobbing on my shoulder at the things he said. I knew they were wrong, I knew I should have said something to my Dad, but every time I'd bring it up she'd convince me not to. Then the physical abuse started again. I was almost a first year so she taught me the spells to patch her up when she couldn't do it. I'd use her wand. I was terrified of going to school. I didn't know what she'd do without me. I begged my dad to home school me to but he refused said I wasn't social enough and going to school with kids my own age would help. Once I was at school we wrote everyday. She'd always lie to me in her letters saying everything was fine and He turned over a new leaf and they were getting married next fall. They were going to elope. I came home that summer and things were worse than ever. She cried every night and I had to heal so many cuts and bruises, there were burns now to. It was like he would put his cigarettes out on her arms. I wanted to kill him. I never got the chance. He skipped town and left her for dead one night on our front lawn. Once she got out of the hospital we moved to our country house for a while. Not even a month latter she hung herself from the barn rafters. I found her. Her name was Elaine. That night I cried in my dads lap all night. I told him the whole story. Every cut, bruise, and burn I'd healed; everything. The next day he was gone. A week later he was sentenced to life in Azkaban for first degree murder of a muggle. They gave him the Dementors kiss and everything. The day of Elaine's funeral I promised myself I would never let what happened to her happen to me or anyone I loved ever again." I finish my story and look up at Sirius. He looks at me with pity in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry Elizabeth, I, I had no idea." He said. He pulls me close.
"It was a long time ago Sirius I've moved on with my life and I live for us both now. I just thought you deserved to know why I've put up such a fight against you." I blush as tears start to pool in my eyes.
"What made you change your mind?" He asks wiping away the tears that fell.
"I couldn't say no anymore, you were too irresistible, and you seemed too genuinely care for me." I said
"I do Elizabeth, I would, never…" He says not able to find the words to finish.
"I know Sirius, I know you wouldn't." I say and snuggle closer to him.
He feeds me a grape out of the picnic basket and I smile.
"Sirius, I've never told that story to anyone other than my shrinks and Madame Pomfrey, not even my room mates." I say
"No one will hear it from me I swear." He says and feeds me another grape.
He kisses my forehead and I smile feeling safe. We eat some more grapes and some strawberries exchanging stories.
"I remember once I dyed James hair pink during his sleep one summer. It was a permanent dye he tried everything to get it out it took months. Eventually he just covered it with brown dye. It was hilarious to see the look on his face the next morning." Sirius says laughing at the memory.
"You spend a lot of the summer with James don't you parents miss you?" I tease. His face gets dark and he turns away.
"What's wrong?" I ask worried I'd hit a nerve.
"My parents disowned me the summer after my fifth year when I ran away from home." He says his voice full of anger and resentment.
"Sirius I'm so sorry, I had no idea." I say feeling guilty.
"Don't be they were horrible, all of them, they're pureblood fanatics. It was living hell when I was with them. Now I'm happier I have a family that actually loves me, The Potters are great. They're helping me pick out a flat of my own this summer. It's going to be great, my great uncle died last year I didn't really know him I'd met him only a handful of time but he left me his entire fortune in his will." He says getting more excited as we venture away from the topic of his family.
"I was hoping to get a place in London, you know the excitement of the city, and I think it would be nice, I've been toying with the idea of my own house in the country to though. I could do magic and play Quidditch without really having to worry as much as I would in the city. It would be really peaceful to; out in the country. I haven't really decided yet." He says relaxing again he lies down and looks out at the stars and I lay my head on his chest and listen to the sweet rhythm of his heart beat.
"I prefer the country honestly it's much more soothing and relaxing you can really let your guard down in the country. My parents used to take us to the country home my mom grew up in, we kept it after her parents died, and we'd go out there in the summer. I loved it out there. It was my favorite place on earth. We had to sell it after Dad; I think mom just didn't want to go back after Elaine. The memories were too tainted. We moved closer to my Dad's parents and mom opened her own bookstore." I say as he wraps his arms around me.
"I'll take that into consideration." He says rubbing my back.
I sigh content; we stare at the stars, and occasionally Sirius will point out his favorite constellations. I lay my hand lightly on his chest and he chuckles.
"What?" I ask sitting up enough to see his face.
"Nothing" He says
"What's so funny?" I say curious.
"Nothing" He says looking a way from me
I lay my hand back down on his chest and he chuckles again.
"Are you ticklish?" I ask amazed.
"No I'm not." He mumbles embarrassed
"Oh my gosh you are, you're ticklish." I say poking his ribs. He giggles and squirms
I start to tickle him and he laughs squirming to get away from me.
I straddle his stomach and tickle him. His laugh is so care free and I love the sound. He tries to push me off but I pin him down. He bucks his hips and throws me off balance and I fall over. He pins me down straddling my hips. Suddenly the atmosphere changes and he kisses me. He kisses his way down my neck and nudges my sweater out of the way and kisses my collarbone. I groan moving my head to give him better access. I can feel his hardness pressing against me and I blush. He tugs at the bottom of my sweater and I shimmy out of it. His hands slip under my tie-dyed t-shirt and his fingers brush over my stomach, up to my ribs, and against the bottom wire of my bra. My stomach clenches and tightens in excitement. My stomach flips and I arch up to meet his touch. He smiles and nips at my neck.
"Liz." He moans and digs his pelvis into my hip causing a delicious friction.
"Sirius, I, I have to tell you something." I say my voice starting to fail and waver. He kisses me his tongue slipping in and exploring my mouth. He slips his hand under my bra and caresses my breast.
"Later." He says brushing his fingers across my nipple making my moan. My fingers fumble for the edge of his jacket. I slip it off and reach for his t-shirt I pull it off with some assistance and run my hands down his hard chest. I can't see much in the dark with only the candles but I can feel his body. His chest is smooth with a small smattering of chest hair. Quidditch has kept his body toned. I kiss his chest and nibble at his collarbone. I unhook my bra and slip it and my t-shirt off.
Sirius attacks my breast suckling and biting my nipple making me groan and arch my back to meet him giving him more access. He kisses his way across my chest and moves to the other breast he kisses it before licking and nibbling on it.
"Sirius I, I really need to tell you something." I say my voice a mix of urgency and desperation.
"What is it Liz?" He says pulling up to look me in the eye.
"I'm not sure I can go to farther." I say squirming nervously.
"Why not Liz" He says nipping at my neck.
"I'm, I'm, Sirius, I'm a virgin." I say blushing and hiding my face.
He sits up quickly and stares at me.
"You're not kidding." He says his voice shocked.
I hide my face the excitement in my stomach turned to terror.
"Hey don't hide from me Liz" He says gently moving my face to look him in the eye.
"No Sirius I'm not kidding." I say my voice full of hurt.
"Sorry I, I, didn't mean it like that it's just you, you don't act like a virgin Liz. God I'm so sorry I shouldn't have assumed I should have asked. Here put this on." He says handing me my t-shirt and his jacket. He slides off of me and puts on his t-shirt. He packs up the picnic basket and blows out the candles. I grab my sweater and stand up awkwardly.
"Sirius I, I'm sorry." I say my voice clenching and tears threatening to fall.
"Hey, Hey no, I'm sorry I shouldn't have even pushed you that far." He says wrapping his arms around me and folding me into a hug.
"I Just got carried away I'm sorry." He says rubbing my back.
"No I'm sorry, I shouldn't have encouraged you, and I should have told you sooner." I say a tear escaping my eyes.
"Hey what's wrong what are you worried about?" He says gently lifting my chin up so I have to look him in the eye.
"That, you're no longer interested, or that I was right and I let myself fall for you anyway." I say blushing.
"Hey I'm still very interested in you and I was not just after the sex, I promise." He says kissing my forehead. We need to go anyway curfew was about an hour and a half ago" He says as we head towards the castle. We sneak into the castle and run into no one on the way up to Ravenclaw tower.
"Go out with me again, on the next Hogsmead trip, No clothes will come off and you'll have a great time I promise." He says kissing me and pulling me closer to him.
"Okay; I'm sorry Sirius; I ruined our date." I say tears threatening to fall again.
"No, hey, you didn't ruin our date. I think it was perfect we talked; we got to know each other better. You know things about me that no one else does. Like that I love muggle music, and have a secret thing for muggle photos." He says smiling at me.
I laugh "I don't think bikini biker babe posters on your bedroom wall are really considered photo art." I say poking him in the stomach.
"Hey it is totally art." He says laughing with me.
I roll my eyes. "Not only that; but I also now know that you are extremely ticklish." I say teasing him.
He growls at me "and I know that you took square dancing lessons when you were five." He says I punch his shoulder.
"That's top secret my mom wanted to win a square dancing contest at the athletic center." I say
"So you say." He says teasing.
I wrap my arms around his hips and kiss him. He smiles at me and pulls me closer.
"I had a great time tonight Liz, I'll see you in the morning." He says kissing my forehead and letting me go and turning to walk away.
"Wait in the morning; we don't have a class together until the afternoon." I say confused.
"I'm picking you up and walking you to breakfast and class in the morning." He says before turning and walking away.
I smile and walk into the common room only to find my four roommates sleeping on the floor by the fire place still in the clothes they left in. I curl up on the couch next to them and fall asleep with my sweater laid over me like a blanket.
"Yo, Lizzie, were late, get up." Isabel yells at me and I fall off the couch in surprise.
I pull myself off the floor and make my way up to the bedroom. I change my clothes and use my wand to clean the dirt out of my hair and pull it back in a braid. I put on my uniform and clean my face not bothering to reapply my make up. I scribble something about my hair on my mirror and run into Marie on my way out of my bathroom.
"What's wrong Lizzie you seem nervous." She says eyeing me suspiciously.
"Sirius is picking me up to walk me to breakfast and class." I say fidgeting nervously.
"Well here let's fix this then." She says pulling my shirt down to show a little more chest and pulls my skirt up to show more leg. Not enough to be indecent but enough to show off the little body I have.
"I don't know Marie, maybe I shouldn't." I look at the full length mirror that she holds up. I look hot.
"What about my hair it looks like I was rolling around in the dirt all night." I say blushing.
Marie raises her eye brows. "Any truth to that speculation" She asks.
"Sort of we got close but I, I told him I was a virgin and he stopped and we came back." I say blushing.
"Hey that's good that he stopped. It means that he respects you and your boundaries, and when you factor in the fact that he's walking you to class and breakfast. It's good it means he's interested in you, and not just the possibility of sex." She says pulling her wand out and performing a few spells.
My hair is unbraided parted on the side slightly curled and better looking than ever.
"Marie, thank you." I say she looks at me and smiles.
"You'll be fine Lizzie." She says smiling at me.
I walk out down to the common room and out to the hall. I walk out and straight into Sirius and smile.
"Hey, good morning" I say taking his outstretched hand and letting him pull me closer to him.
"You make the uniform look sexy Liz." He says playing with the bottom of my skirt. "Tying to tease someone are we. You don't usually wear your skirts this short or your shirts this low." He says playing with my exposed chest. I can't help but love this game.
"No not really I just decided to mix it up no special reason." I say smirking and smacking his hand away from my chest but letting him continue to play with the hem of my skirt.
He pretends to pout; I wink at him and walk away towards the Great Hall.
He runs after me I look over my shoulder and see that mischievous look in his eyes. The one that promises trouble, I squeal and run away laughing; I only stop running when I near the entrance to the Great Hall. I turn around and notice that Sirius disappeared. I shrug my shoulders sure he'll turn up when he wants to. I walk over to eat breakfast only to get half way across to the table before I'm spun around and pulled close to a very hard body. I get just a glimpse of Sirius before he starts to make out with me in front of the entire hall. I pull away and laugh at the happy twinkle in his eyes. We sit down by ourselves away from our classmates. We eat pancakes and bacon, well more of I eat pancakes and bacon and Sirius steals pieces off of my plate. Just as we get up to leave owls flood into the hall and it's mail time. A large barn owl that I've never seen before drops in front of me, and I jump in surprise. I assume it's for Sirius. He takes the letter from its beak and hands it some bacon off my, well I suppose our plate.
"Here it's addressed to you." He says handing it to me.
"But that's odd I don't know anyone with that owl." I say taking the letter and looking at it. I open it and instantly recognize the handwriting.
I hand it back to Sirius. "Burn this please, Last time I burnt myself, just be careful, you know what better yet I'll just do it come on." I say I take him to the DADA room and call out for the Professor.
"I got another one Professor Perkins." I call out and I hear a muffled shout of anger and then I see him under his desk chasing a pen. As soon as he hears me he tries to straighten up but hits his head on the underside of his desk.
"Already the last one singed my eyebrows off. I had students laughing at me for weeks. The vial Mr. Black in particular, I can't prove it but I'm sure that he's the one that put the insulting mirror in my desk drawer. I still can't remove it I had to put a stack of books on top of it to get it to shut up." He says
Sirius chuckles and I elbow him in the side. The Professor finally crawls out from underneath the desk and see's Sirius. He grabs my hand and pulls me closer to wrap his arm around my waist with very little subtlety.
"Oh hello Mr. Black here to glue another mirror or perhaps you thought I ran out of hair growth cream." He says.
"Nope just here with my girlfriend." I look at him in shock and elbow him in the ribs again, harder this time.
"First of all I'm not your girlfriend, and go remove that damn mirror." I say pointing to the desk.
Sirius grumbles at me "You're not my girlfriend yet, you forgot the yet." He says kissing my head and walking up to the desk to remove the desk. I hand the letter to the Professor and he transfigures his cauldron and dumps it inside.
We back away to a hopefully safe distance, and start firing spells. The parchment resists until Sirius does a non verbal on it and it bursts into huge flames and starts to scream.
"I HATE YOU, YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE I WISH IT WAS YOU, I WISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOU. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU. YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER BUT NO YOU HAD TO LET HER DIE. YOU DISCUST ME; IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU KILLED ELAINE. YOU KNOW IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT ELIZABETH I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL."
The parchment finally stops burning and the screams stop with it.
"I guess she finally figured that I stopped reading them." I say. Sirius looks at me in shock. I don't move for several moments.
"Are you going to be okay Lizzie?" Professor Perkins asks.
I nod "I'll be fine, just another drunken letter, it's no big deal. Thanks professor and sorry about the mirror." I say glaring at Sirius.
"I removed it for you." He says "Whoever glued it there did a damn good job." He says still keeping his innocence act. I roll my eyes and so does the Professor.
I walk out of the classroom and head towards the infirmary.
"What was that about Elizabeth?" Sirius says jogging behind me.
I whip around "Don't call me that my name is Lizzie no one calls me Elizabeth any more only Elaine was aloud to call me that." I say I fall down and start to sob.
Sirius carries me the rest of the way to the infirmary.
When we walk in Madame Pomfrey rushes over and has Sirius set me on a bed.
"What was it this time Elizabeth?" I cringe but don't yell at her like I did with Sirius. "Ah another letter I take it, I thought I told you to stop reading those." She says disapproving.
"She didn't read it; she set it on fire and it start screaming at her." Sirius says holding me. "Can someone please tell me what's going on? Who was that damn letter from?" He says shouting.
"It's from my sister, Lillian." I say my breathing starting to return to normal. "Once every few weeks she gets drunk and writes me vicious letters. She's in a really bad place still from Elaine's death. I haven't been reading them I guess she figured I'd stopped reading them and put a nasty howler spell on it." I mostly pretend that she doesn't exist any more. I'm fine really it just shook me up hearing her voice again after so long. I haven't seen her in two years. She left and started traveling when she became of age." I sit and Sirius wraps his arms around me.
Madame Pomfrey Okay's me to go to class and Sirius walks me asking the entire way if I just want to skip with him.
"Sirius I promise I'm fine to go to school. Maybe we can skip together another time. I promise you can choose a day and we'll skip together all day. It'll be fun I promise." I say kissing his cheek.
I go into class and zone out for the rest of the time. The rest of the day Sirius picks me up from one class and walks me to the next. We eat lunch with my friends and have dinner with his friends. When I finally get back to my bed at the end of the night after my shower I lie down in my bed and start to fall asleep. I smile thinking of how sweet Sirius was all day. Maybe this will work out after all.
