The reviews make me extremely happy and I'm sorry I haven't answered them all. Enjoy the story.


Sirius stood shocked at the scene, his body paralysed by an invisible force. His eyes seemed to be glued to where Lizzie and Snape sat, kissing like there wasn't a care in the world. It took Sirius several moments to realise that this was really happening and that it wasn't just a bad nightmare. He also realised that his hands were shaking. Out of anger? Shock? He didn't know. He closed this mouth which seemed to have sprung open at the scene.

How could this be happening? How could Lizzie, his beautiful amazing Lizzie be kissing someone as slimy and mean as Snape? How was that even possible? He could feel his blood starting to boil. Yep he was defiantly shaking out of anger. There was no denying it. Sirius wanted to shout at them. He wanted to punch Snape to hell. He could feel angry tears starting to swell up in his eyes. Lizzie should be kissing him and not that git. His gaze turned to where the three girls were hiding; across the stairs behind a statue that was close to the far wall. He saw Lily give him an almost apologetic look. She seemed to want to go over to him, but couldn't for the danger of being seen. Sirius wasn't going to wait for her to talk to him however. He couldn't say here much longer and watch them. So turning on his heel, Sirius rush up the stairs not bothering to sound quiet.

He didn't stop running until he reached the portrait hole. The corridor was empty which he was thankful of. ''G...Gillyweed.'' He said stuttering slightly at the Fat Lady. She gave him a concerned look as she saw the tears threatening to escape, but opened up to the common room without saying anything. Inside the cosy circular room, most of Gryffindor tower was in there. Many of the younger students however had gone to bed with just the stray second year trying to furiously finish their homework. He saw James and Peter in their usual place by the fire playing Exploding Snap. Sirius walked straight past them and headed towards the stairs which led to the boy's dormitory. Everyone else seemed to become a blur of colour and shape as he weaved in and out of everyone. All their conversations seemed to be a muddle of coherent words and sounds which did not directly meet Sirius' ears.

Taking the stone steps two at a time he slammed the wooden oak door behind him with such a force that it seemed to make the walls shake. Sirius clenched his fists into balls and dug his nails into the palm of his hand. His breathing was fast and uneven, partly from the running he had done and partly because of the scene he had just witnessed. His grey eyes were no longer calm, but swimming with anger, frustration and hurt. He kicked his trunk which lie at the foot of his bed and felt a sudden throbbing sensation in his big toe. Why was this happening to him? He didn't deserve this. Or did he? After everything he had ever said to Lizzie. Everything he had done to make her feel upset...Maybe he did deserve this.

No!

Sirius went up to the wall and punched it as hard as he could. He didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve to feel any of what he was feeling at the moment. Pain rushed through his knuckles and he looked to see that they well bleeding. Cursing under his breath, Sirius made his way back to his bed and flopped down onto the springy mattress. Laying down he closed his eyes for a moment to calm himself down. Sirius knew it would do no good for him to get too worked up about it. Remus was really the only one to could help him out of this state. James may have been his best mate, but she still hadn't gotten the gist of calming him down yet. Sirius' breathing was starting to become more under control when he heard the door creak open and shut again. Footsteps could be heard walking across the wooden floor and stop in front of him. Next thing he knew he felt the mattress sag a little as James sat down next to where he was laying.

''What happened?'' James asked his friend, slightly worried at the state Sirius looked. He saw the bleeding knuckles as Sirius put his hands up to his face and rubbed his eyes. Whilst in the common room, James had instantly known something was wrong by the fact that Sirius hadn't stopped to see him and Peter.

Making sure he had calmed down enough, Sirius ran a hand through his hair (a trait he had gotten off James) and began to tell his best mate the story. ''...And then, they kissed James. They bloody kissed!'' Sirius felt his anger coming back to the surface and tried his hardest to control it. He didn't mind Lizzie having boyfriends. He had only really sabotaged one of her relationships, but the image of her and Snape kissing kept looming into his mind again. Why him? Why had she chosen him of all people? There were so many other people at Hogwarts who would be so much better for her; like him for instance. But no, she had chosen the stinking, stupid, slimy Slytherin.

''Shit. Why...why would she do that?'' he asked, more to himself than to Sirius. He had seen the interactions between the Gryffindor and Slytherin over the past couple of weeks or so. He had hated the way Snivillus kept on flirting with her. She was Remus' sister and therefore she was also his sister (even if she didn't agree on it most of the time).

''How should I know?'' Sirius spat. His temper was back again. He sat up next to James and clenched his fists into balls again. In that split second Sirius wondered what the point was of going after Lizzie anymore. Her kissing Snape felt like a betrayal from her. Sirius would never understand why she had done it. As he thought more about it, Sirius went to hit one of the posters on his four poster bed, but James stopped him by grabbing his arm.

''Enough injuries for one night I think.'' He said talking about Sirius' bleeding knuckles. ''Come on let me get that sorted out.'' But Sirius, being as stubborn as he ever could be, would not let James heal it by magic. So James hurried over to Remus' bedside table and took out a pure white bandage that he always kept in there for emergencies. After wrapping up Sirius' hand in it, James pulled him up from his bed and told him that a good game of Exploding Snap would help him take his mind off of what had happened. Sirius highly doubted that, but thought it would be good to try. He made his way down to the common room, not feeling any better than he had done when he had first gone up there.

Lily desperately wanted to go off and talk to Sirius, but she seemed to be stood, transfixed in the spot she was in. Looking back at Lizzie and Severus, she saw that they had finally stopped kissing. 'Maybe if you had done that a few moments earlier it would have made a difference' Lily thought to herself. She watched them converse for a few moments before making her mind up about something. She stepped out from behind the statue must to Beth and Zoe's disbelief and cleared her throat to make her presence known. She saw them both jump out of their skins and turn around. Lizzie seemed to have known a deep shade of crimson as she saw Lily standing there.

''Lizzie, I need to talk to you for a second.''

Confused about what Lily wanted, Lizzie got up and made her way up the steps to her best friend. She saw Beth and Zoe behind the statue, trying to press themselves against the wall as much as possible. She suddenly realised what must have been going on.

''You..you saw what happened?'' She asked in a whisper. When Lily nodded, she seemed to go an either darker shade of red. She should have known that Lily would have followed her out of the common room. It wasn't that bad really. It was only her best friends who had seen. However as this thought struck her, Lizzie could tell she was missing something from the picture.

''We weren't the only ones who saw...'' Lily saw her friends eyes widen in shock. She was not going to be happy when she told her. ''Sirius saw as well.'' Instantly, Lily knew it had been the wrong thing to tell Lizzie.

''What? What do you mean Sirius saw? How could he? He must have followed you here. How could you not realise that he was following you? Oh Merlin. This isn't good. This really isn't good. This –''

Lily stopped her friend from rambling on anymore by placing a hand on her arm. She always did when she was nervous or scared. ''Why does it matter so much that he saw it?'' Lily asked. This was something else that she instantly regretted saying. It was never good to agitate Lizzie more when she was off rambling.

''Because Lily he'll tell James and James will most likely tell Remus. Plus he's going to be extra mean to Sev now don't you realise. He's going to act even more horrible then he already does. What am I going to do Lily?''

Lily could tell Lizzie was really worried. She could also tell that her friend was not exposing all of her worries either. However Lily wouldn't pressure her to tell her anything she didn't want to. She had learned that a long time ago. Lizzie was rather insecure about her feelings when you looked closely and so Lily had to extra careful now. It seemed she was treading on some rather delicate issues. ''It's alright Lele. Why don't we see if we can go talk to him yeah?'' This probably wasn't the best of ideas, but she needed to get Lizzie back to the dorm to calm her down. She saw her friend reluctantly nod at her and tell her she would be back in a moment.

Hurrying back down the stairs to where Severus was patiently waiting, Lizzie told him that she had to get back to the common room. She wouldn't tell him the full reason, but she was sure he would have heard what she and Lily had been talking about before. After telling him she would see him at breakfast the next morning, Lizzie was about to set off up the stairs again, but not before Severus grabbed her arm and whispered something in her ear. Lizzie stood frozen for a second, but came back to reality as she heard Lily cough impatiently. Giving Severus a small smile, Lizzie ran up the stairs and she and her three friends made their way to the Gryffindor common room.

On entering the considerably less crowded common room, Lizzie saw Sirius straight away, sat in their usual places by the fire. She saw all three boys turn their heads towards them. Sirius' eyes bore into hers and instantly Lizzie knew she did not want to go and talk to him. Dropping her gaze she could tell he was still looking at her. His whole facial expression had read 'Don't even think about coming to speak to me'. Without looking to see if the others were following her, Lizzie hurried up to the girl's dorm and sat on her bed. Why did he have to see? This just mad everything so much worse. She would rather have him annoying her every five seconds then ignoring her completely. What? 'No that's stupid' She thought to herself. 'Why do you care if he ignores you?' 'I don't care' 'Well obviously you do if you just thought about it.' 'Oh shut up.'

After coming back to reality, Lizzie tried to ignore the fact that she had just had an argument with herself. Deciding that she must be feeling extremely tired, Lizzie got ready for bed and shut the hangings around her four poster bed. Lily, Beth and Zoe were not back yet and Sophia and Mary were not in the dorm. This meant that Lizzie had only got her own thoughts to occupy her. Great!

The more she thought about it, the more she didn't believe it. She was still having a hard time processing what Sev had whispered in her ear. Had he meant it? Was it just a heat of the moment thing? She had no idea. As the girls came into the dorm, Lizzie kept quiet. She didn't feel like talking to any of them at the moment.

Sleep didn't come to her until the early hours of the morning. Not that an early sleep would have helped much.

Walking on her way to breakfast the next morning on her own, Lizzie still didn't feel that she had answered any of the questions that had been going round her head last night. Thank Merlin it was Sunday and they had no classes. Lizzie didn't think she would be able to cope with learning anything today. Her mind was too haywire and nothing seemed to make sense to her. As she turned the corner she came face to face with something she wasn't surprised to see. Sirius had himself entwined in a girl, both of them kissing each other like there wasn't another care in the world. Lizzie rolled her eyes at them both and carried on walking. She knew why Sirius had himself a new girlfriend. It was to make her jealous. Not that it was working. She made a mental note to tell the girl (who was a Hufflepuff and in their year) later that she was only having Sirius' full attention because he was trying to make her jealous.

Finally getting to the doors to the Great Hall, Lizzie saw Remus was sitting at the Gryffindor table. Great! Now she would have to explain to her brother two things. Why she hadn't come to visit him and why she had kissed Severus Snape. Well this was going to be an interesting breakfast wasn't it!


So what did Severus whisper to Lizzie? How will Remus take the news? Find out next time! Also do you think Sirius went a little over the top with his emotions or not? Let me know in a lovely reveiw ;)
