21st September 1975

'Dear diary. Today has been somewhat...eventful. It really is amazing how much action can be held in the span of just a few hours. At breakfast Lily shouted at James which wasn't really surprising. It was all about him being an irresponsible idiot and not caring about anyone else other than himself. James actually argued back saying that he did care for other people, it was just that some of them didn't realise that he did. Lily had been in shock that he had actually argued back and didn't try to argue back at him. I know James hadn't meant to snap at Lily, it was just he wasn't really in a good mood. Last night was the full moon and Remus had hurt himself pretty badly. James was blaming himself for that. After all, he had said for them to wait to be with Remus for the full moon. Nobody blamed him though. Well I mean me; Sirius and Peter didn't blame him. It wasn't his fault that Rem had had a bad night. That always happened once in a while.

The second thing that happened was that Sirius had a go at Peter for a reason I wasn't entirely sure about. It seemed to consist of several reasons that had apparently been bugging him for a long time. James then snapped at Sirius for being stupid. It seemed all three boys were on edge today. Oh well in my opinion it might do them some good to not prank and be stupid with each other for at least one day.

I feel slightly disappointed in myself for not going to see Remus as he is still in the hospital wing. I really wanted to, but at both break and lunch I had been pulled along by Severus and Lily. I honestly just wanted to go and see if my brother was alright, but what excuse could I make to both of them? I have a feeling that Lily knows about Remus. She always asks me if he's alright and how he's doing. I don't think Rem would mind if Lily did know. At least I would have someone to confide in about the issue except James, Peter or Sirius. I mean I don't mind talking to James about it. But whenever I try, Sirius just comes and interrupts us.

That was another thing that happened today. Sirius. One minute he's all over me trying to make me say yes about going out with him, the next he's yelling at me because I haven't gone to see Remus yet. I mean I have never known someone whose moods change that quickly. It really was unbelievable. He kept trying to flirt with me and then all of a sudden he asked if I had gone to the hospital wing to see Remus. I was truthful and said not yet and he just flipped. Something about how would I feel if I was ill and someone extremely close to me didn't visit me. I replied back with that I had no chance to escape at lunch or break. But to him, apparently that was no excuse. In the end he told me that I cared too much about 'future death eaters' and everyone else apart from my own brother. After that he went on about me being selfish. Remus should never think highly about me apparently and I just always make the situations worse.

What does he know! He doesn't realise that every full moon I can't bloody sleep because I'm too worried about Remus. He doesn't realise that I take more care of him then our parents do. He doesn't understand that I would do absolutely anything to make sure he wouldn't have to go through his transformation, even if it was just once. Sirius went on to say that I was exactly like I was back in first year. What he said surprised us both I think. I knew he hadn't meant to say it, but it still upset me. I just walked off not bothering to shout back at him. I could feel the tears swell up inside of me. Thankfully I didn't cry though. I hate Sirius sometimes, I really do. He doesn't understand that I'm scared out of my wits every full moon because I have no idea how much Rem is going to do to himself and if he'll survive the next morning. He just thinks I don't care and that I'm heartless. I dunno maybe I am. Maybe I am still jealous of him. I just wish Sirius didn't have to say it out loud.

On a lighter note, I'm going to meet up with Severus tonight. He wanted to talk to me to find out what's wrong as I bumped into him when I walked off. He always makes me feel better. Even if it's just a little bit. I just have to sneak out of the common room without Lily noticing, which I assure you is going to be hard. She seems to be keeping a rather close eye on me at the moment and I really have no idea why. Okay well I do have an inkling, but it seems very unlikely.

Got to go now or I'll be late.'

Lizzie closed her diary and hid it under her bedside table. Lily was the only person who knew where she hid it and Lizzie knew her best friend wouldn't read it. Pulling down the hem of her jumper, Lizzie went out of the empty dormitory and down into the loud common room. Most people had come back from dinner now and where either talking, playing games or doing homework. She saw Lily, Beth and Zoe in a corner and hoped they wouldn't see her creep out. James, Sirius and Peter were sat in their usual seats by the fire, but they weren't really talking to one another. Although many of the Gryffindors found this unusual, no one asked the three boys about the subject.

Stepping out of the portrait hole and out into the corridor, Lizzie had a sudden motion to head over to the hospital wing. However she could always do that after she had talked with Severus. Hurrying down the corridor, Lizzie came across the odd person and greeted them nicely. Several portraits waved at her as she went along corridors and down several flights of stairs. Many times she thought she heard footsteps behind her, but looking back could see no one. She expected it to be her imagination.

As she arrived near the Entrance Hall, she saw Sev sitting on the marble stairs. A smile lightened up her face and she slowly went down the steps towards him. She sat down next to him which made him jump. He had obviously not heard her coming. Everything else was silent around them. No one was there apart from a few portraits. The candles shone for all they were worth, casting an orange light on the two teenagers below.

''You alright Lizzie?'' Severus asked, his voice filled with a sense of caring. His black cloak was wrapped around him and he slowly, very carefully moved an inch closer to Lizzie. He knew she wasn't alright. From the state he had seen her earlier he was one hundred percent sure that she wasn't alright, but to him it would only confirm it if she actually said it.

Lizzie thought about her answer. She wanted to say that yes she was okay. But she knew that it would be a lie. She wasn't alright in the slightest. She didn't know why she felt so bad but she did. ''Not really Sev.'' She said quietly as though speaking too loud would break the silence and the peace. She looked into his dark eyes. They were so full of mystery and surprise. She knew that there was so much these eyes had seen and witnessed and so many stories could be told by them. She knew what it felt like to have to hide what you were thinking and feeling and for once she really wanted someone who would understand what she was going through and someone to tell her that everything would be alright.

''Tell me what's wrong then.'' Severus said reaching out to touch her hand, yet pulling it away at the last minute. He didn't know why but he felt so...safe and secure with Lizzie around. He knew that if she was here then everything would be better. He could see her hesitate before answering him.

''It's just...Sirius. He doesn't really understand where I'm coming from. He doesn't understand what I'm going through and why I feel how I do. I want him to realise just once because then maybe, just maybe he'll realise what he's put me through. Sometimes he drives me so crazy. It's like he doesn't care about me at all or that he doesn't realise that what he says hurts...'' She trailed off and looked down at the shiny marble steps. She hadn't expected to tell anyone that, let alone Severus. She felt his hand entwine through hers and give it a squeeze.

''You know what Lizzie? Don't give him a second thought. He's an idiot and I'm not just saying that because I hate him. I'm saying it because even though he says he might like you he obviously doesn't. If he did he wouldn't have hurt you as much as he had done. Just forget about him. He won't do you any good alright. Don't you worry, everything will be alright. I promise. You've got me here so nothing's going to hurt you.'' He said softly, brushing a stray bit of hair out of Lizzie's face. He gave her a small smile and gave her hand another squeeze. He felt himself leaning towards her and within a few seconds their lips touched. The kiss was slow and meaningful as he placed his other hand on her back.

From behind them were a gasp, a squeal and a whispered 'oh shit.' Lily, Beth and Zoe had followed Lizzie out of the common room and had hidden themselves behind a statue. Whilst Beth and Zoe had gone into 'over excited girl mode', Lily had seen a figure from behind a suit of armour. A closer look told her that this figure was none other than Sirius...
