Chapter 22

Emmeline Vance & Remus Lupin & Lily Evans

Emmeline Vance

Spending Christmas and New Years with all of them really opened my eyes, but still… I wasn't sure what was going to happen next.

Should I sit with them on the way home in the train?

Is it okay for me to talk to Marlene?

Does Mary look at me as her friend still when she's told everyone?

Can the Slytherin's still be my friends if I've fixed everything with the Gryffindor's?

Am I ready for being their friend again after such a long time?

Do they want to be my friend?

My head is exploding with all the questions as I wait for the train to leave. I look with half a eye for the Gryffindor and find them no where so I take a seat in an empty compartment, that way if they want to sit with me they can, but they have to come and find me… Genius isn't it?

"Is this seat taken?" the familiar voice of Desiree greets me as she opens the door.

"De?" I look up surprised. "I don't –"

"Don't worry silly," she says and drags up her wand "I'll catch an invisibility charm on the compartment or something, we're technically back at school so we can use magic."

I raise by eyebrows but shrug "Alright…"

"But let me go and get Val and the others first, alright?"

"Sure," I nod as she disappears out the doors again but comes back only seconds later, with a whole train of people, Valerie, Narcissa, Avery, Mulciber, Regulus Black, Snape and Eletikka Snow.

I raise my eyebrows silently again and watch as Desiree throws the spell.

"Happy?" she sends me a wink before falling in the seat next to me.

"You're Emmeline Vance right?" Eletikka asks suddenly, getting me of guard a bit.

"I am her indeed." I say silently "And your Eletikka Snow right?" my eyes flutter towards Snape and I blush as I tear my eyes away from him.

"I'm her yes," she winks at me. "You are the Slythdoor, Sev and Val have told me about."

I wince at the word, Slythdoor, that makes me feel even more like I'm backstabbing the Gryffindors… but when you think about it, that is exactly what I'm doing.

I nod silently and look away, its painfully obvious they are all watching me.

"Anyways" Valerie says; she's good at knowing when to change the subject. "We haven't had a talk about the prank you guys wanna pull on Potter and them in a long time," she gives Avery a look.

He shrugs, "We've yet to fix all the details."

Valerie raises her eyebrows "So, are you going to give us some of the details or are we going to have to wait?"

He laughs. "Patience is a strong thing remember?"

I'm totally lost in the conversation and sigh as I lay my head back.

Desiree nudges me "Have you heard any of the gossip?"

"What gossip?" I ask back and look at Desiree, sometimes she reminds me awfully much of Mary.

She leans in closer to me so only I can hear. "Letti-" she motions towards Eletikka "You know she went with Snape to the ball right? Anyways, Val just told me that she thinks Letti likes Regulus!" she exclaims in a whisper.

I raise my eyebrows and let myself ask the question I've been asking my self for a while. "Then why did she go with Snape to the ball?"

"Regulus didn't want to go to the ball and Snape needed a date," Desiree rolls her eyes.

I raise my eyebrows. "Alright, so she likes Regulus?"

Desiree nods "She even spent some of Christmas with him and the Black family and she told Val some really interesting things."

I raise my eyebrows again. "About?"

"About the older Black." she smirks. "Turns out he's not living at home anymore, but with Potter and he came home to get some of his stuff and that just started some Black-family-War."

My heart starts beating faster with this information; Sirius is living with James?

"I think even his mother cast a spell on him or something"

"What? On Sirius?"

"Yeah on Black." Nods Desiree.

That's it, now I have to talk to Sirius.

- Hunting For Happiness -

I have no idea what I'm going to say but I know I have to say something.

"Sirius!" I say as I notice him, he's walking from the Great Hall and for some (lucky) reason he's alone.

He turns around and raises his eyebrows as he sees me, not expecting that I of all people, just suddenly started talking to him.

"May I have a word?"

His eyebrows rise again. "About what Vance?" he asks. I should've known he wouldn't be easy to talk to.

And then I realize I have no idea what I'm going to say, how do I ask him about this without telling him who told me? I can't tell him my secret, he's the worst person to tell this, he'd murder me on this right spot.

I rub my hand nervously together until they are well red and sweaty. "About something I.., overheard," I choke out as smoothly as I can.

"What did you hear?"

I see that people have started to come out of the Great hall "Can we go somewhere more private?" I ask as I get a glimpse of some other Gryffindors: Marlene and Mary are looking at us both with raised eyebrows.

Sirius sighs and nods and follows me away from the Great Hall and into the first empty classroom I find.

I slowly close the door and breathe in deeply. "I overheard some Slytherin girls talking about something that happened at your home during Christmas."

Sirius looks at me and I can honestly say I've never been this afraid of him my whole life.

Maybe this was a big mistake.

Remus Lupin

It's weird to be back, but also good. Christmas and New Years were good though; it was nice to actually hang together like the group we were in fourth year.

But that doesn't mean things aren't complicated anymore, because they are and I still don't know what is going on with Blaire and me. Marlene told me to just suck it up and talk to her, but I don't know what I can actually say to her.

But well I decided to actually follow up on Marlene's advice and sent Blaire an owl (Yes an owl, I'm that scared) to meet me at the Library at eight tonight. The clock is ten minutes past eight as I sit alone in the Library.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" Comes a nervous voice behind me. "Ari had some things she needed my advice on and before I know it – I'm sorry!" Blaire hurries out and looks down as I turn around to look at her. Just seeing her makes me smile, honestly there is something so magical about her its almost annoying.. except it isn't annoying.

"No problem, I'm glad you came," I breathe out. Another thing about Blaire, she tends to – as corny as it sounds – to take my breath away.

She gives me another one of her beautiful smiles. "Well you asked me to, of course I came."

I smile. "Want to sit down?"

She looks at me, pondering for a moment. "Depends… Remus… You are really sending me mixed signals, you know? What are we going to be talking about? Is it something horror filled that's going to make me have to sit down, or is it going to be something good?"

I blush. "I don't know."

She sighs. "Remus, you are such a smart boy, how can you not know?"

I sigh, "I don't know everything you know Blaire."

She sighs and then pouts. "Are you going to say this or do I have to?"

I raise my eyebrows, "Say what?"

She looks down. "Remus, I really like you and … you're sending me all this mixed signals! If you don't like me just tell me so I can move on –"

I stand up and grasp for her hand as I see tears forming in her eyes. "Blaire, I do like you!"

She looks up, "Really?"

"Really! How on earth could you think anything else? Of course I like you."

She smiles and the bites her lip. "So…"

"So…," I say amused.

"I fancy you.. and you fancy me..?" She continues and bites her lip again.

And then I realize what I have to do, I've got to suck it up and just do it. "Blaire would you like to be my girlfriend?" Its funny saying it, it sounds so… childish. But I have no idea what else I could've said at this point.

"Alright," she says with a smirk and wraps her arms around my neck. "I'll be your girlfriend, boyfriend."

*FLASH BACK*

Lily Evans

"You know, we could always push the two beds together and have more room." Potter says with a smirk as I pull on my nightgown (I'm sure someone put a hex on it, it has never before seemed so SHORT!)

I make an "Hmmpts!" sound as I pull the comforter of my bed and sit on it.

Potter just laughs. "Just so you know it Evans, my bed is always open for you."

"Like hell I would ever shag you Potter," I growl out and he laughs amused.

"I meant for sleeping in.. What a crude mind you have!"

I roll my eyes and bite back my remark.

"But because you brought up the subject –" he ducks as my pillow comes flying at his head. "Oh how nice! And extra pillow for me," he laughs as he puts my pillow under his own head

"Give me it back."

"Come and get it," he winks at me.

"Urgh!" I growl out, that boy can seriously get under my skin – NO, not that way! Merlin Lily, is Potter right? You have a crude mind. NO LILY, Potter is never right! What the heck is wrong with me?

I stand up from my bed and stomp my way over to his bed. He playfully gestures to the bed with his hand "Want to have a lay?"

Frustrated I try to yank my pillow from under his head but nothing happens. "Give it!"

He just laughs but doesn't move.

"James Potter give it now!" I yell out even more frustrated then before.

Again he doesn't move. I have no idea how I do it but suddenly I jump on the bed and land on top of him with a leg on each of his sides. Whatever I did to do this… it works. He looks at me stunned and sits right up, so I'm almost sitting in his lap.

I yank my pillow away and jump back off him, still in shock.

I stumble my way back to my bed and under the covers. "Goodnight." I call out before hitting the off switch on the lamp and letting the light go dim.

A/N: Okay so it was rather short .. but you know.. sometimes chapters CANT be long! :D And the Em/Sirius scene was left a bit cliff-hang-y wasn't it? Oh how bad of me.. hehehe.

Anyways, I want to share a little story with you guys because I'm in love with writing really long "A/N's" haven't you noticed? Heheheh.

Yesterday my friends and I were discussing a story that my friend is writing (It's a very good story if I say so my self, even though its only three chapter, its Called Oblivious and you can find it under her penname Gloo1997). Anyways, and for some reason one of my friends said "Sirius Black must be bad in bed then" .. honestly, I think my heart stopped for a moment. SIRIUS BLACK CANNOT BE BAD IN BED! - my reaction. [Note from Beta: I have a valid reason as to why I said that! You guys are the ones that implied it!]

Honestly! Is there ANYONE here that thinks that the Sirius Black can be b-b-b-a—BAD in bed? NO. Okay that was a weird thing share with you guys … *sighs* I just love him so much. *Sighs again* … Please still read me story? (a) I promise I'm not a psycho path! [I wouldn't be so sure about that..]

p.s. I wrote ANOTHER Marlene/Sirius oneshot, siriusly I can't stop, and this one is even weirder than the other ones :O Its called "Drunk" and you should really read it and yeah, review it like..right now.. (after you review this of course.. Damn I'm asking for too much aren't I? *sigh*)
