Days in Avalon

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Reflections

Sunday morning came sleepily greeting the old castle with lazy sunrays hidden among the clouds. Most of the student population rose in the early morning to get a jump start on the day…but mostly to finish assignments they had left to the last minute and begin studying for the midterm exams that were fast approaching.

As eleven o'clock came around, the most of the girls in the sixth year Gryffindor dorm were busy doing their own various things. Two of the girls were down in the common room going about their own business. Kelly was reading a rather long letter she had received that morning from her boyfriend, Braden Wood. While Felicia was reading up on her latest issue of Teen Witch. As for the other two girls, they could be found up in their room. Lily was sitting quietly on her bed as she finished up on some reading she had planned on working on yesterday. Andy on the other hand was still curled up in her bed slowly beginning to wake up.

"Hmmm…" she moaned as she let out a silent yawn and stretched like a cat in her bed before she sat up on the edge of her mattress. "Man what a night," she said aloud to herself sleepily as she headed toward the loo.

"So where were you last night?" said a loud voice to Andy's left. The sudden sound of her best friend's voice startled Andy a bit.

"Holy Sh…Merlin Lils. Can you be any more loud?" said Andy with her hand over her chest as she tried to regain her breath.

"I can if I try," said Lily offhandedly. "So?"

"So what?" inquired Andy as she headed off to the bathroom.

"You haven't answered me. Where were you?" called Lily from her bed.

"Didn't you get my note?" called Andy from the bathroom.

"Yes."

"So you knew where I was," said Andy as she finished up in the bathroom.

"Yes, but…not who you were with. So tell me whom did you go with," said Lily as she made her way over to were the bathroom door was. A few seconds later Andy opened the door giving Lily a perplexed look.

"What makes you think I was with someone?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Because there is no way you could have gotten from here to Paris and back again in one day without some form of help from someone," said Lily plainly.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," muttered Andy as she made her way over to her trunk to pull out some clothes for the day.

"Why won't you tell me?" asked Lily.

"Because there is nothing to tell, Lily. Besides who died and made you my mother?" snapped Andy.

"Oh man," said Lily under breath.

"What?" asked Andy as she came out from behind the screen fully clothed.

"This must be big, if you are this quiet about your little holiday. It isn't anything illegal is it, Andy?" asked a slightly worried Lily.

"Depends on your definition of what 'illegal' is?" said Andy after a moment of thought.

"Miranda!"

"Relax Evans," giggled Andy at the look on her friend's face. "I'm not going to get caught and thrown into prison, and neither is the one I went with." When she said that, she kinda regretted saying it, because it gave Lily a little bit of information that she didn't really want to get to. Luckily she remembered about what almost happened last night between her two friends and decided to quickly steer this conversation to another subject.

"Besides…it seems to me that I wasn't the only one who was out late last night," said Andy with a smirk. Lily gave a perplex look before her eyes widen a bit at the thought that popped into her head.

'Did she see James and I together last night?'

"I don't know what you are talking about," said Lily, plainly trying to play it cool.

"Uhh huh…sure," nodded Andy sarcastically. "You know you are the worst liar I've ever met."

"I am not," said Lily hotly.

Andy chose to ignore her comment and continue on. "Come on Lily. Fess up. Who were you with in the wee hours of the morning?"

"How do you even know I was out last night?" inquired Lily.

"Because when I walked in this morning, I tripped over your slippers and they were still warm from wearing," said Andy quickly, hoping her friend would believe her slight fib. But from the look on her friend's face, she did believe her. "So come on. Who was he?"

"No one," said Lily angrily. She was getting tired of this little spat, quickly. Lily then turned and sat back down on her bed and started to pick up where she left off on her reading.

"On come on," exclaimed Andy as she rolled her eyes in frustration. "Was it Everett?"

"No," said Lily not looking up from her book.

"Snape?" she continued.

"Eww…please!"

"James?" said Andy with a smirk.

Lily's head shot up from her book and stared daggers as her best friend. "I'm not going to even respond to that comment," she said darkly.

"Okay Lil," chuckled Andy as she raised her hands in surrender. "What ever you say," she added as she turned from her friend and walked out of the room with a smirk on her face.

In the sixth year boy's dorm, the marauders were busy lulling about trying to ignore the sounds that were emitting from their one friend's bed. Peter was trying to finish up his letter to his mother but found it so difficult to concentrate that he had gone through several drafts of parchments. Remus on the other hand was reading his potions book, getting ready for finals with cotton balls stuck in his ears. As for James, he was found lying on his back playing catch with a little gold ball and looking over toward Sirius's bed every now and then.

With a great snort, Sirius began to wake up fully and sat up in his bed rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Good afternoon, sunshine," said James drawly as he looked over at his clock that now read a little after the noon hour. "Sleep well?"

"Actually, I did, dear," yawned Sirius as he got up and stretched out his muscles.

"Urgh, it's about time you got up," said Remus as he pulled out the wads of cotton in his ears. "I don't know if my ears could have stand your snoring any longer."

Sirius mumbled a rude comment to his friend, which caused James to laugh a bit.

"You can thank me later for not letting Moony here stuff a rag into your mouth," said James.

"Ah. Okay then," Sirius yawned as he made his way over to the bathroom with his clothes in hand. About twenty minutes later, Sirius emerged fully dressed, with his hair still wet from his shower. When he walked in he noticed the air seemed a bit off in the room

"What?" he asked as he looked at each of his friends who hadn't moved at all.

"Nothing," said James with a shrug. Sirius gave him a skeptical look as he walked over to his own bed.

"You're not going to tell us?" squeaked Peter. James then took the ball that was in his hand and threw it at Peter's head, hitting him in the forehead. "OW!"

"Excuse me?" asked Sirius looking at Peter, who was now rubbing his head. Sirius then looked at his other two friends for a moment before Remus opened his mouth.

"Well…it's not everyday you sleep in until noon," said Remus, trying to come up with the best way to go about asking him the question that was going through their minds.

"Plus you did pull a disappearing act on us and your girlfriend as well," said Peter quickly.

"So?" asked Sirius not sure what was going on.

"So…fess up man! Where the bloody hell were you yesterday?" said James with a chuckle.

"Nowhere special," said Sirius with a shrug. "I just took the bike out for one last ride, before it got to cold."

"Why didn't you ask us to go?" said Peter a little miffed.

"Wormtail, why do you even care?" said James. "It's not like you'd get a chance to ride it after what happened over the summer. But come to think of it…" he said as he turned back to his best mate, "why didn't you tell us about it?"

"I just needed some time to myself. You know…think things out," said Sirius looking James directly in the eyes with a smirk on his face.

"I see," said James slowly, dropping the subject at hand. He knew right then that whatever Sirius was hiding from all of them was something big…and it was slowly changing him for the better.

After a late lunch, the girls spent some time in the common room working on their homework. About an hour or so later, Felicia closed her transfiguration book and stretched out her arms over her head.

"Hmmm…I don't know about you," she said breaking the silence of their little group, "but I'm up for a trip to Hogsmeade for some butterbeer."

"That sounds like a good idea," said Andy as she finished up her essay for Defense Against the Dark Arts. "Lil? Kel?"

"Sure, I'm up for a trip," said Kelly as she closed her book.

"Mmm…not me," said Lily. "I have to finish up on some homework."

Kelly looked over her shoulder and saw that she was working on her Defense Against the Dark Arts essay that was due the next day.

"Excuse me...did I hear you right?" said Kelly.

"Are you telling us," said Felicia, "that the perfect Ms. Evans has left her homework unfinished until the night before it's due!"

"I don't believe it! It's the end of the world as we know it," said Andy with a fake sob.

"Oh put a sock in it you three," chuckled Lily at Andy's display. "It's not like I do it all the time like some people," she said as she glared at Felicia.

"Well…" started Felicia.

"Ah, Felicia let it go," said Kelly. "She's won this round." With that the girls headed up to their room and grabbed their coats. When they came back down, Andy went back over to the table to pick up bag that held some of her books so she could catch up on some reading.

"We'll bring back some butterbeer for you," she said with a smirk. "That is if you behave while we're gone."

Lily simply gave her a look before a smirk broke out on her face.

A couple of hours later, Lily could still be found in the common room huddled over one of her textbooks. She had grabbed a quick bite to eat before the rest of the students headed down for dinner. By the time she got back to the common room, the tower was quickly becoming empty as everyone filed down to dinner.

Lily found solitude in the newfound silence of the tower. She had finally finished her homework that was due in the beginning part of the week, and was now studying for her exams. Every now and then her mind would travel off to what almost happened the previous night in the same room she was now in. Lily would slightly shake her head in hopes to rid herself of the images so she could concentrate on her what was in front of her.

"Hi Lily," said a voice from behind her. She jumped a bit before she turned and was greeted with James's smiling face.

"Hi James," she said softly as she felt a little hint of heat in her cheeks.

"Uhh…where's everyone? You're friends I mean. I didn't see them down at dinner," he said looking around the table.

"Hogsmeade," she said simply before turning back toward her book. "They went to get some butterbeer."

"Ah…" replied James not knowing what else to say. "So…how've you been?"

"Fine…" she said with a shrug as she continued to read her book. "Yourself?"

"Good," said James. He was a little hurt by the cold shoulder he was now receiving from the girl he had in his arms only a few hours before. But that wasn't going to stop him from asking her the thoughts that had been plaguing him since it happened.

"Eh…Lily?"

"Yes?" she said.

"Ah…there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about."

"Uh huh?"

"It's…about last night and…well…what almost happened," he cautiously, as his noticed that his hands were now feeling a bit sweaty.

Lily stopped her read and looked up at James who was now at her side. She could see that his was really nervous about the subject as was she…but for some reason, she couldn't help but think how adorable he looked at that moment. It was then that she remembered seeing this look in his eyes before. The look he got whenever he was going to ask her out.

"Oh…uh…James, listen if you think that we could…uh…" stuttered as she motioned for him to take a seat next to her.

"Lily," chuckled James knowing what she was getting at. "don't worry, I'm not going to ask you out. Trust me…I've learned my lesson awhile ago."

"Oh!" she replied relieved, but a little bit hurt at the same time. "Then what did you want to talk about it for?"

"Well…I just want to make sure that we're clear on some things. I mean…well…okay we've been hanging out a lot. What with the whole assignment and all."

"Uh huh…" nodded Lily.

"And we've gotten to know each other a bit better."

"James, you're babbling. What are you trying to get at?" asked Lily.

"Are we friends?" asked James quickly, hoping to lessen the shock.

Lily sat there for a moment contemplating her answer. "Umm…well…yes. I think we are…friends."

James nodded in understanding. It was then that he got the courage to ask the second question he hoped deep down that she would answer the way he dreamed about. "And what happened last night was just…a…fluke?"

Lily couldn't help but stare at the hazel eyes behind his glasses. She felt that all too familiar feeling of being drawn to them. She felt confused as an inner battle began to form within. Her heart was fighting against her brain to gain control of what it wanted to say, but in the end, her head won control of her voice.

"Yeah…it was just a fluke incident," said Lily quietly.

Okay then," replied James as he hung his head a bit and let out a deep sigh that Lily took as a sign of relief.

"Thanks for clearing that up. That's all I wanted to know. Sorry for bothering you. I'll let you get back to your work," he added as he got up and began to walk toward the stairs that led to his dorm.

"Okay," said Lily softly. She watched as James walked away from her and up to his room. At that moment she had this sudden feeling that she needed to tell him something…anything…before it was too late.

"James?" she called as she shot up from her seat to stop him.

James had just put his foot on the first step when he heard Lily's voice. He spun around to find her out of her chair and only a few feet from her with a look on her face that he could read.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"I…I really did have fun with you yesterday. It's the most fun I've had in awhile. I…just…wanted to thank you again for letting me tag along and spend the day with you," she mustered up at the last minute.

A small grin formed in the corner of James's mouth upon hearing her words. "The pleasure was all mine, Lily. See you later, Evans." With that, he hurried up the stairs to his room.

"Yeah…see ya," she answered, left now with only a mixture of confusing thoughts.

"Do you think we brought back enough?" mumbled Karen as heaved a small slightly heavy bag out from the tunnel from behind a mirror.

"Oh, Karen would you cool it already? We have enough," said Andy as she walked out from behind the mirror to met up with Felicia and Kelly who were holding the mirror open.

"Yeah now let's go before someone see us," said Kelly as she closed the mirror and the four of them began to head back to the common room, before curfew was enforced.

"Sees what?" said a voice from behind the group of girls. All the girls jumped a bit with Karen and Kelly letting out a small scream from being startled. Standing behind them were Sirius, Remus, and Peter. All of which were holding some sweets they had taken from dinner.

"Ah…geez Black! Could you be anymore creepy?" said a slightly ticked Kelly.

"Oh I don't know. Maybe if I tried hard enough," replied Sirius lightheartedly.

Kelly was about to make some snide remark, but Andy held her back. "Kel, don't. You'll just be wasting your breath."

"Hi sweetie," said Felicia as she went up to him and gave him a hug and kiss. "Where were you yesterday? I missed you."

Sirius gave her another kiss on the lips before he answered. "Sorry love. I some things to work out. Just needed to get out and clear my head for a bit."

Andy watched them both, and felt a little strange in the pit of her stomach, but when she heard Sirius telling Felicia about where he was, a slight smirk spread across her lips.

"Oh, I thought maybe you were out with some other girl," said Kelly out of reflex. Felicia stared daggers at her friend for her remark. Kelly ignored her friend and looked to Andy for some form of encouragement. Andy hesitated for a moment but quickly recovered with a normal remark.

"Huh? What's this, Blackie? You're already off to your next flavor of the week? Geez that didn't take long," sneered Andy. She slightly hoped no one noticed her hesitation in her comment, but unfortunately one person did.

"Andy, please!" sighed Felicia not wanting to get into the middle of another fight with her friends about her boyfriend.

"Sorry. I know," said Andy as she held up her hands in defeat. "Old habits die hard."

Felicia nodded in understanding, before she turned back toward her boyfriend. Remus had gone over to where Karen was and gave her a small kiss on the cheek and talked secretly with her.

"You know…if you need someone to talk to, I'm always available to lend an ear," said Felicia to her beau.

"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind," said Sirius smoothly as he wrapped his arms around her and stared into her eyes.

"Urgh…" grunted Andy as she rolled her eyes at the display before her. "And on that note I think I'll be off."

"Where are you off to?" asked Karen.

"Astronomy tower," replied Andy. "I need to finish up on that worksheet."

"Hey, I'll go with you," said Remus. "I need to finish off mine as well." He then pulled out the rolled up parchment from his robe pocket.

"Sure…Remus," said Andy. Andy said her good-byes to her friends, Peter, and a curt nod to Sirius, while Remus gave Karen a good-bye hug and told his friends he's be back later.

"So how are things going with you, Lupin?" asked Andy as the two of them waited for one of the staircases to return to its original origin.

"Ah, same old, same old. Just trying to make it through the next couple of days," he replied as the staircase returned and settled down.

"Why's that?" she asked. After a few seconds she remembered that the full moon was coming up and mentally kicked herself in the behind. "Oh…uh…never mind."

"It's okay, you know" chuckled Remus at the look on Andy's face. "It's not like I'm going to turn into one right this minute."

"I know," said Andy a little off.

"I know," mimicked Remus. Andy couldn't help but giggle at this icebreaker.

"Shut up, you little prat," giggled Andy as she playfully hit him in the shoulder.

"Little? Nah, I'd consider myself to be a little taller than average height," he chimed.

"You always have to be serious one, don't you Remus?" said Andy as she shook her head.

"No, usually I'm madder than my friends combined," he said lightheartedly.

"Hmm…I don't know about that. Your friend Potter could give you a run for your money. Not to mention that your other friend Black isn't all complete up there if you get my drift," said Andy playfully.

"Yeah that is true about Sirius," agreed Remus. "So how are you with my witty friend?"

"Is he alive?" asked Andy.

"Yes."

"Then that should be a good enough answer for you," replied Andy with a raised eyebrow.

"I meant are you getting along with him?" said Remus in a business tone.

"For the most part yes. Why all the questions?" she said curiously.

"No reason," he replied with a shrug. Andy watched him for a moment and knew he was holding something back.

"Remus?" she said in a warning tone.

"Well…Karen and I have been noticing you two spending a bit of time together," he confessed.

"Well yeah, you would. We've been trying to finish up our…" started Andy.

"Transfiguration project. Yes, I know. But it seems to me that you two have become close," said Remus. Andy stopped for a moment in her tracks to listen to his words.

"So close that one might believe you were friends if they didn't know your history," he added.

"Sirius and I have come to an understanding…for now," said Andy after a few moments. "After this year, who knows how'll we'll act toward each other."

"Okay. But you know, it is okay for you actually like the bloke as a friend," said Remus.

"I'll take it under consideration. But don't be praying for any miracles any time soon," said Andy lightheartedly.

The rest of the group headed back toward the Gryffindor common room, to part takes in the girl's beverages. But with the displays of affection that Sirius and Felicia were showing, the rest of the group decided to call it a night. Karen headed back to her common room to finish up on her essay, while the rest went into the common room. They noticed that the common room was filled with students studying for their classes. Felicia and Sirius were able to find a spot over in the corner, while Kelly, who was now carrying the drinks, headed up to her room and met Lily up there. Peter also went up to his room, seeing as there was no one to really talk too.

"Sirius?" said Felicia after a few minutes of playful teasing.

"Yes, Felicia?"

"Is there something you're not telling me?" she asked. Sirius gave her a puzzling look, to which she clarified her question. "I mean is everything alright with us?"

"Yes. Why do you think there is something wrong?" he inquired.

"No reason," she said with a half-hearted smile. "Just forget about it." Sirius knew better. He knew that she was slightly plagued with the ideas that Kelly had said earlier. Although Kelly was partly true, there was another girl now in his life, but there was nothing romantic about it, at least in his mind. They were just…friends now…no more…no less. But his heart on the other hand told a different story. Although he'd never admit to anyone now, he'd grown quite fond of Andy's presence and enjoyed spending time with her. But it wasn't as if he were falling for her. 'It's just an infatuation.' he told himself. 'You're really in love with girl you are with now.'

"Felicia," he said after a few moments of silence.

"Yes?" she said as she looked up at him. At that moment he captured her lips in long sensual kiss.

"I'm sorry if I've been acting like a prat. I promise I'll try to make it up to you," he whispered into her ear.

"All I need is you," she said softly as she kissed him back hungry for more. At that moment, Sirius felt a little pushed by his girlfriend's actions. He also had the sudden urge to get up and leave her.

"Hold that thought, love," he said as he pulled away from her.

"Why?" said a slight frustrated Felicia.

"I have to finish an essay for Defense class," lied Sirius.

"Oh," said a disappointed Felicia.

"After finals," he simply said. "Then we can do all the snogging you want."

"Okay then," she said a little happy. Sirius then got up from where he was and started heading toward the portrait. "Where are you off too?"

"Library," he answered. "I need to look something up really quick. I'll see you later, Felicia."

Sirius took a little stroll through the castle enjoying the temporary solitude. He could help but think about what had just happened a little while ago. He had a beautiful girl that he cared a lot about in his arms, and now where was he? Wondering around a cold dark castle alone with his thoughts. But the part that kept haunting him was when he was kissing Felicia. He felt slightly cramped and annoyed with being around her. 'I must have caught something while in Paris with Andy,' he thought. At that moment, he saw Remus down one of the corridors heading back to Gryffindor tower. A few minutes later, Sirius found himself heading down the hallway toward the direction of the Astronomy tower.

When he reached the tower, he saw that Andy was in the classroom sitting on the windowsill, next to the door that led to the observation roof. From the looks of it, she was lost in her own thoughts. After a few moments, she must have sensed someone was there, for she looked over and saw him standing in the middle of the classroom with. He saw a small smile spread across her face.

"Thought I'd still find you up here," he said playfully.

"Thought you'd be off snogging the hell out of my friend," she replied in the same playful tone.

Sirius slightly cringed that the thought. "That's…for later."

"I see," said a slightly surprised Andy. "Do I sense a bit of hostility in your voice?"

"No!" said Sirius quickly. "I'm just…"

"Just what?" she inquired.

"Feeling…a…little cramped with her at the moment," he replied.

"You mean with all the questions and her wanting to do all the cuddly couple things?" asked Andy with her arms folded in front of her.

"Exactly! It's…it's like she doesn't trust me," said a frustrated Sirius.

"Well she shouldn't," said Andy simply. Sirius shot her a perplex look. "You didn't exactly tell her the truth about where you were yesterday or where you go off to in the middle of the night. Whether full moon or not."

"Do you want me to tell her about our meetings and what we are doing?" he asked, a little confused as to what she was getting at.

"No! Are you mad! She'd flip out and I'd never hear the end of it," stated Andy.

"I see," said Sirius deciding to play with Andy's head a bit. He started to look at her as he does when he flirts with the girls in school.

"Don't look at me like that," said Andy as she rolled her eyes in disgust.

"Why?" said Sirius a little playfully.

"Because that look doesn't work on me, remember? I've seen all your tricks," she stated.

"Right." After a few moments of silence, he decided to change the subject, to one of their other favorite topics.

"So what do you think Lily would have done if Prongs had kissed her?" he inquired.

"She'd probably would have slapped him," chuckled Andy.

"Really? I would have thought she would have liked it," said a surprised Sirius. "I mean she was his first kiss and all."

"What?" said a shocked Andy. "You're kidding, right?"

"Afraid not."

"Wow. I never knew that," said an amazed Andy.

"So who was yours?" asked Sirius.

"My what?" said Andy with a raise eyebrow.

"Kiss. Who was your first kiss?"

"Oh no. No, I'm not getting into that discussion," said Andy as she shook her head and tried to get around Sirius.

"Why not? Was he that bad?" said a now highly intrigued Sirius.

"No, he wasn't. He was...why am I even saying this. No I don't want to talk about it," said Andy as she pushed him out of the way and went over to the desk that she left her bag on.

"Ahhh...so he was that good?"

Andy stopped in the middle of repacking her books and gave him a look. "You're not going to stop are you?"

"Hmm...nope," he said thoughtfully.

"Fine," she said in frustration that soon disappeared as she remembered her first kissing experienced. "It was good. Really, really good," she blushed

"Who was he?" he asked as he watched her face turn an adorable shade of pink.

"Tommy Robinson," she said simply. "It was back when I was a first year over in America. He was a second year and was on the J.V. Quidditch team with me. I had the biggest crush on him. Anyways...one night before the end of the school year, we were flying around having a quick pick up game, and then we got to talking about things. So one thing led to another, and he leaned in and kissed me. God I can't believe I said that."

"So it was an older guy. You little harlot," he said jokingly as he rested against the window ledge.

"I try," she said playfully. "Okay, your turn."

"Oh no," said Sirius with his hands up in protest.

"Aw, come on. I told you mine," whined Andy.

"No, trust me you don't want to know," protested Sirius.

"Please. I promise I won't laugh," said Andy with a little pout. Sirius shook his head no and kept his mouth shut.

"Fine then. Be a punk then," she replied angrily. She then quickly packed up the last of her things and zipped up her bag roughly before she threw it over her shoulder and made for the door.

"It was during third year. After the match against Ravenclaw," he said suddenly.

Andy stopped and looked back at him. He was still leaning against the window ledge looking down at the ground now. She then walked over to where he was and sat on the desk in front of him.

"And?" inquired Andy. "Was she older? A Hufflepuff? Someone with scales?"

"No. She wasn't a Hufflepuff, and she didn't have scales," said Sirius against his will. "She's younger than me."

"So what happened?"

"Nothing spectacular. We met in a classroom and I kissed her," he said bluntly.

"Geez…it must have been some kiss," said Andy with wide eyes.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well it had to have been for you to make up a lame arse story like that," she said plainly. "Can I have the real one this time."

"You really want to know?" he asked. Andy nodded slightly not sure if this was such a good idea after all.

"It was in the common room and it was really late. I'd just got done with setting up a prank for Snivellus and Malfoy. Everyone was already up in bed when I walked in except for this girl, who was somewhat of a pain. She was passed out on the couch. So I started to head up until I realized it was around the time, McGonagall usually came in to make sure everyone was in their bed. So I figured it wasn't really right for someone to get yelled at by her, especially that early in the morning, even if it was this girl." he said with a slight shrug. "Well I went over to wake her up. She must have been dreaming, because she looked so peaceful and kind cute with her blond hair all messed up. Anyways, I tried to wake her up. She sort of opened her eyes and must of thought I was someone else. The next thing I know she pulled me down to her and kissed me pretty...thoroughly. It ah, it was kinda okay. But then afterwards she realized what she did, and ran up to her room." He saw the surprised look on Andy's face as he continued looking directly at her. "We never spoke about it again, and we're the only ones who know what happened.

After a few moment of silence, Andy blinked rapidly before she spoke. "Sirius I…"

"It's getting late," he said quickly. "I guess I should leave first. See you later, Sparky."
