Loralei didn't give him a chance to reply, she closed the door and ran down the stairs. The tears weren't in her eyes yet, but she could tell they were coming, and she needed to get alone before she let them fall.

Of all the times she thought Sirius would screw her over, it wasn't like this. Not in the middle of a fight. Or maybe she should've thought that, it would make more sense then when they were happy together.

God, how could he do this to her?

Sirius kicked the leg of the bed before swearing. He just kicked out the girl who's name he didn't even know. He thought they broke up, he thought that's why she left when they were fighting, that's what she said. "I can't do this right now." Isn't that a break up? Why didn't he ask? Why couldn't he just stop being such a screw up? He didn't know, he just was with certain people. People he wanted to impress more than anyone else.

He knew he couldn't go to her, he couldn't try to explain, because she wasn't going to listen to him. Not now. Not anymore. He just hoped that James, Remus, or Lily wouldn't kill him, unless the three of them teamed up. He was going to die slowly, wasn't he?

Lily was stroking her hair as she cried, shushing her softly, and promising a slow death for Sirius.

"I can't believe he would do that-well I can, just not on you." Lily whispered to her. "What's James going to do?"

Loralei stopped whimpering with her tears as two voices in her started arguing. The part that was furious, and the part that still loved him. He hurt her, more than anyone else has; but he also was the most fun she ever had, they worked together, they could tell each other so much with one look, and understand where the other was coming from completely. They could argue and fight with each other, but stand beside each other to fight within seconds.

After a long moment, she swallowed before answering in a grave voice. "He's not going to find out."

"Pardon?"

"He's not going to know. No one is, this is between you and me." She whispered.

"I can't let him get away with this."

"He won't. We both know I can handle myself, I can't handle this. I will do this my way. I promise that he will never hurt me again." She told her. "But don't make James and Remus lose their best friend."

"They can handle it."

"They need each other, and with what's happening in our world they're going to need it. Sirius will leave me alone, I know it, just please don't tell anyone."

"I don't-"

"Promise me."

"I-"

"Promise me."

The door opened to find Mary Mcdonald looking at Lily and Loralei. "Snape's threatening to sleep outside unless you talk to him." She told Lily.

Loralei wiped her tears off her cheeks before Mary could see. "Promise me, Lily."

Lily looked desperately at her best friend, before reaching for her face and kissing her forehead. "I promise." She looked at Mary. "Okay, okay I will." She grabbed her best friend's hand and squeezed it. "I know you've been through a lot today, but please come with me, just be in the common room waiting for me. Please."

Loralei nodded. "Okay, okay."

Five minutes later Loralei was listening to Lily yelling at Severus through the portrait hole, her knees to her chest and a blank look in her eyes.

"What happened with you and Sirius?" James asked her, coming to sit next to her.

She looked in the opposite direction of him, not wanting to talk about it.

He, of course, misinterpreted. "Come on, Lore, if I said I was sorry would you let it go? All I know is that I heard a couple bumps up there, and I'm scared what I might find."

To his surprise, Loralei started laughing, not her normal laugh either, this one was a little deranged. "Oh, we broke up. Too bad I can't break up with you or Remus, that would make my life so much easier."

"You dumped him over this?"

"Yeah, you know what? I did. Now why don't you go take care of him, I don't need you, I don't need anybody."

"Lore, don't be like this." He told her.

"Piss off, James, not everything will go your way, and you better pray that Lily will forgive you for what you caused today, because Merlin knows if I will ever forgive you. Ever." She told him, jumping to her feet. "Now go."

"Lore..."

"No, James, and after you go up there, be sure to inform Sirius that we are never ever getting back together. Ever." She told him as he stood up. "Did you not hear me? Go!"

"I think I will, you're a big girl, you don't need me."

"I don't!" She yelled. "Don't bother trying to talk to me at the party this weekend either!"

"I wasn't going to!" He yelled as he stormed away.

"Good!"

He stomped up the stairs before she heard the door slam.

She growled as the portrait door open to a crying Lily.

She held out her arms for her friend to go into. Now it was her turn to comfort her crying friend, just like Lily took care of her earlier.

Of all the things Loralei thought she could be doing right now, Loralei never saw this coming, and she should have, after all, she is a seer.

A/N I would've put this up earlier, but I didn't have internet for a week. The sad thing about being on a ship in the middle of the Caribbean. LOL. Thank you to my reviewers/alerters/favoriters! You're awesome!
