Hello, sorry for the long wait, but here's the next chapter ^^
~Chapter 14~
Upon entering the common room, Lily and Ginny say the marauders sitting in their usual spot by the fire. Before Lily could say anything, Ginny stormed right past her, "Sirius Orion Black!" She yelled, whipping at her wand, Sirius looked up to see it pointed right between his eyes. "Diffin…" she started to yell, but Lily and Remus were able to pull her away before she could finish the charm, "Let me go! The jerk deserves it!" she yelled.
"It's not going to help us with you putting him in the infirmary," Lily told her calmly, "just calm down, please, think of Alex." She whispered into the red-heads ear.
"Alright," Ginny sighed reluctantly, giving Sirius one last glare, she took a seat opposite of him, her wand still in her hands.
"Would you tell us what's going on, Lils? James asked, beyond curious, as to why Ginny was murderous.
"It's a long story, so don't interrupt me," Lily said with a sigh. Sirius stood from his seat and made his way to leave the common room. "Sirius you better put your arse back in that chair and listen also or I will let Ginny curse you." The red head had growled, making Sirius sit back down, you barely see Lily this mad. "I don't care what you think happened," Lily snapped at Sirius, "But you will listen. Now, after Defense class, Sirius got held back, right?" She started, "Alex waited for him, but she had to use the toilet. She was making her way back to meet up with Sirius when she ran into Malfoy and when she went to leave, she couldn't. One of Dumbledore's mistletoe's had the two of them. You know the charm on those is really strong and there is no way to break it, except until the two underneath it kisses.
"I'll have you know, Malfoy kissed Alex, not the other way around." Lily began to pace as she talked, "Now, Sirius here had bad timing and walked in when they kissed. He quickly assumed Alex was cheating on him and didn't listen to a word she said when she tried to explain. When she left the Great Hall tonight she was crying and when we went to find her, she had more than a dozen wards up. We were finally able to calm her down before coming down here." When Lily finished, she dropped down on to the sofa next to James.
After a moment of silence, Sirius stood up and made his way to the staircase. "Where are you going?" Ginny asked standing up also.
"To talk to Alex, I want to hear this from her," He growled back, then turned to head up the stairs, but Ginny stopped him before he got up one stair.
"Don't you dare," the red head growled, "We just calmed her down and got her to fall asleep. When she wakes up you can talk with her. That is if she wants to talk to you." Sirius glared at her, but then turned and headed out of the Portrait entrance.
"Just give him time to calm down," Remus said softly. Ginny sighed, leaning against the wall, and sliding down.
The next morning Alex woke up with a sigh, she felt horrible. She carefully got out of her bed, doing her best not to disturb Hermione, who fell asleep in her bed too. Alex was grateful to all her friends for being there for her last night.
The witch grabbed her clothes for the day and went to the bathroom. A nice hot shower later she felt refreshed and was met with worried faces. Alex smiled, "I'm fine guys," she told them, "thank you for being there for me last night."
"You sure you're alright?" Hermione asked quietly, moving next to her friend.
"Yeah," Alex said softly, "And I've decided not to talk to Sirius unless he come to me." She told them, the three girls started to ask questions, but hushed when Alex held her hand up. "I decided this because what is the point of being with him if he doesn't trust me, doesn't listen to me?" she explained, "So it's up to him now." She gave a small nod, and moved past her friends, leaving the room to go to breakfast.
The three girls sighed, "We need to give her our support," Lily spoke up. "If that is what she wishes, we can't stop her. Besides, she's right." Ginny and Hermione didn't say anything, they knew Lily was right.
"Come on, let's get to breakfast, and give her our support," Hermione said, the three of them left the room and headed to breakfast.
Breakfast was a tense, when Alex entered, the students there hushed a little, but the dark haired witch ignored all the whispers and stares. Sitting down at the Gryffindor table her friends sat all around her, Ginny to her right, Hermione across from her and Lily to her left, with James next to her. Sirius was on James's other side, so Alex couldn't see him.
"You three are staying here for your winter break, right?" Lily asked her friends.
"Yup," Alex replied as she spread cream cheese on her bagel, "It would be too far to travel to get home for Christmas."
"I wish I could stay too, but Mum likes having me home whenever I can be," Lily said with a sigh, "Don't get me wrong I love going home, but Petunia, my sister," she explained, "has been getting really mean to me." She sighed, Alex put an arm around her friend, "Maybe I can see if Dumbledore will let me comeback for New Year's, so I can be with you guys!"
"That's a good idea, Lily," Remus said from across the table, "So these girls won't be too lonely," He smiled as he pulled Hermione to him.
"I won't be alone," Ginny giggled, and then looked over her shoulder over to the Slytherin table. Severus was looking over and smirked when he noticed her looking. Alex rolled her eyes at the red head to her right, but it lost its effect with her giggles.
"What are you doing for your break, James?" Alex asked, to change the subject off of Ginny.
"Oh, me and Sirius are going to head to my place," he responded shrugging, "But I do like Lily's idea to see if we can come back, it would be nice to spend New Year's with everyone."
Alex and Lily shared a look, "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Lily whispered, Alex just smiled and nodded.
"We could do it in the Head's common room?" Alex said to Lily.
"Oh, so he could come to?" Lily said happily. "Exactly," was all Alex replied with.
Remus, Hermione, and Ginny were looking at the two witches curiously, but they ignored the looks and continued their talk.
"We won't know what they are talking about for a while," Hermione laughed at Alex and Lily's excited talking, "At least not until they decide to tell us."
"It's simple, Mione!" Alex said excitedly, "A New Year's party!" both Lily and Alex said at the same time. "I was saying we could have in the head's common room so Severus could come too." Everyone in their group brightened at the idea.
"That would be awesome!" Ginny said excitedly, and the four girls went off talking about the details of the party, while the two marauders turned to Sirius.
"Y

"You going to talk with Alex?" James asked

"You going to talk with Alex?" James asked his dark haired friend, "Lily says she's waiting for you, that she's not going to talk with you till you come to her."
"I don't know James, that's the problem," Sirius groaned, "I've never had to do this before. They are usually the jealous ones and think I'm the one cheating." He placed his head into his hands.
"That's because you normally do cheat," Remus muttered quietly, resulting in Sirius giving the werewolf a dark look. "It's true!" Remus said defending himself.
"That's because they never are able to hold my attention," Sirius countered.
"And now that you found one that can, you're going to fuck it all up?" James responded back, as he took a sip from his cup. "Congrats, Padfoot. You know if you don't get her back someone else will take her away from you." And as if to prove James's point, Lucius Malfoy came up to Alex asking if she'd like to go for a walk with him. Alex gave him a smile and with a small goodbye to her friends she took his hand and left with him.
"See," James said to Sirius simply.
