Well I'd look right up at night
And all I'd see was darkness
Now I see the stars alright
I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house
Yeah that made me happy
The sweat I make for you
I think you know where that comes from
So Fine-Guns n' Roses

It had been weeks. Sirius hadn't spoken to Michelle since she'd punched him in the face.
He missed her. He didn't want to, but he did. Horribly.
He didn't mean to. But everything he'd done the last decade and a half of his life had been for her. Every last thing he'd done. Now, he had nothing to work for, no one to take care of. It hurt him.
He couldn't even watch after Hermione, as she had returned to school.
But, without Michelle, he found himself able to think much more clearly than usual. He was able to realise how horrible Michelle had been for him.
"You alright, mate?"
Sirius glanced at Remus and gave a tired grin.
"Oh, yeah," he replied. "Better than I've been in a while, actually."
Remus smiled. "I'm glad to hear it. Because you look awful."
Sirius rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair, moving his glass of firewhiskey back and forth across the table in front of him. "I don't know, mate. I think I did the right thing."
Remus snorted and shook his head. "I know you did the right thing, Padfoot. She was bloody awful. Horrible. The worst."
"Yeah, thanks, Mooney," Sirius replied, a small smile on his lips. "It's just...I don't know what to do with myself now. I spent all of my time, sweat and love on her, you know? And all of that's gone now."
Remus shrugged. "Find someone else. Until then, spend your sweat and time in the Order. Easy as that."
"You think?" Sirius replied.
"I know so," Remus replied. "You're Sirius Black! You can have any girl you want!"
Sirius knew that wasn't true-he really couldn't have the girl he wanted. Legal reasons. And the girl he thought he wanted he knew he shouldn't have. "You're right," he said. "You're right."
"I am," Remus replied. "That's it, now. Go on out and find someone new."
Sirius grinned. "Thanks, Mooney. I'm going for a walk, alright?"
Remus nodded. "Don't be gone too long now, you got that?"
Sirius nodded and threw on a jacket. "Got it."

These just get shorter and shorter, don't they? Hm...the next will be longer, I think. ^^
Tell me what you think! :)
