A/N: First off, I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING SOONER! I have been busy with my school's production of Footloose. It was grand, thanks for asking.

That, and I've also been preoccupied with a recent blooming of a crush… But, I don't really need to go into details about that… -Blushing like crazy-

Thanks MissHaleyBlack for reviewing! And I'm so very glad that you love it! :D

Okay, so, onto chapter 17… shall we?

Chapter 17

I poked my head out of the window, the icy wind hitting my pale face. I stuck out my pink tongue, catching the white flurries.

"It's SNOWING!" I called to my roommates. Ariana rolled her eyes.

"It IS December, Fayre…" Claudia ran up to the window as Ariana stated what month it was.

"It IS snowing!" Claudia exclaimed, her brown eyes wide and clapping her hands together, childishly.

"As I said before, it's not really news because it's December," Ariana said again, her toned legs dangling from the top bunk.

"OHMYGOSH IT'S SNOWING!" cried Grace running up to the window, and almost falling out… Claudia and I grabbed her arms, expecting her clumsiness. Ariana jumped down from her bed.

"I just said-! Oh never mind," said Ariana.

"My roommates are such idiots," she mumbled to herself as she was walking away.

"BUT YOU LOVE US!" we all called to her. She paused at the doorway. Then she turned around and did something childish for once, she stuck out her tongue at us.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

I walked by the fireplace, watching the Marauders and Lily laughing about something or another. Lily and James' fingers were intertwined as they leaned against each other for support as they laughed hysterically. Peter just stood there, fuming.

"Aw, c'mon Wormy, it was just a joke," said Sirius laughing.

"YOU MADE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL IN FRONT OF HER!" Peter burst.

"Peter, it was just a joke. Plus, you have to admit, it was pretty funny," pointed out Lily, her green eyes sparkling from tears of laughter.

I ducked my head and walked quickly by. I hadn't really talked to the Marauders since Dumbledore's office incident. Wow, there has been a lot of incidents. The Carley-kissing-thing-in-the-hallway incident. Then there's the OTHER Carley-kidnapped-me-incident. Don't forget the I-kissed-Remus incident. Then there's the Remus-is-a-werewolf-and-the-Marauders-actually-are-animals…

...Yeah.

There are a lot of incidents.

Sirius looked at me as I tripped over my feet. His grey eyes boring into my violet ones. I tucked a lock of blonde hair behind my ear as I sat on the floor, my face burning red. He got up as I looked down at the ground. Suddenly there was a hand in my face. I looked up, catching the sight of his dark grey eyes. I reluctantly grabbed onto his hand, and he lifted me up.

"Thanks," I mumbled, not daring to look at him.

"No problem," he said. I could feel his eyes on me. I got up and then practically ran out of there. I leaned against the wall, and I could feel my heart pounding against my chest. I still felt the burn of his grip on my hand. This feeling I had never had before. It was like an actual crush now.

Oh God.

I have a crush.

I mean, before I had a crush on Sirius. But, this was completely different.

I actually was feeling like one of his fangirls.

Ew.

A/N: REALLLYYYY SHORT CHAPTER I KNOW!

But it's sort of funny…

Sort of.

I said sort of didn't I?

In case you're not getting it, it's about Fayre realizing that Sirius has always been her best friend…right? So, even though this whole time she's known she's been in love with him, not talking to him for a couple of months has made her realize that just one look at him makes her heart flutter. Like a fangirl. And she hates it.

Which may make her want to talk to him again… I mean, you never know right?

Actually, Sirius is going to do something so incredibly sweet! Well, as sweet as Sirius can get…

REVIEW BECAUSE LILY AND JAMES ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER!

REVIEW BECAUSE FAYRE HATES FANGIRLS!

REVIEW BECAUSE I HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEONE AND I COMPLETELY EMBARRASSED MYSELF IN FRONT OF HIM… -_- actually don't review because of that. That was stupid.

He said hi.

I ran into something.

It might've been a wall.

It made a lot of noise.

-_- I'm an idiot, I'm aware.

XOXOXOXOXO,
