The summer break, had come to an end, many mellowed over this fact, they whined and moaned as they trampled over to their daily jobs. This was the case for most. However for the recent Hogwarts graduates the end of summer break, bought with them anxiety for the results for their NEWTS and notices of acceptance to their selected fields.
The former Gryffindor seventh years, scattered somewhat in the three months post-graduation. The marauders moved into a flat just outside of Diagon Alley, Lily went on a family holiday around Europe. Elizabeth had moved in with her grandmother until she pulled together the funds to rent a flat, her sister sickened by what magic had done to their family moved into their distant aunts house for the summer. Mary helped the boys move in and spent many days at Potter manor practising Quidditch; but continued to reside with her parents and brothers.
Mr and Mrs Evans, were so proud of Lily's NEWT results that they bought her a brand new Yellow car, Lily passed her exams within two weeks and insisted on driving everywhere. Except for the fact, that she'd just returned to the country and was extremely jetlagged. Through correspondence James and Sirius had rediscovered their love of motor vehicals and Sirius was hoping to use his unexpected inheritance to buy a motorcycle.
The boys had moved within 2 weeks and spent weeks perfecting their flat so it would be the coolest, most macho Batchelor Pad in the history of wizardkind. They had even gotten Elizabeth to paint a massive painting with the same engravement that was on the front of the marauders map and hung it up in their lounge!
Once Lily had left james had moped for three days before Sirius got fed up and walloped him with a broomstick, naturally, as would occur between two teenagers, a fist fight ensured and both boys emerged with bloody noses, black eyes and a very stressed and panicked Mrs Potter.
However it would be that day that their futures would be determined...well somewhat anyway.
Elizabeth Gilmore looked down at the emerald green envelope placed delicately before her, she'd gone to sit down for breakfast only to find the mysterious letter on her grandmothers breakfast table.
She gingerly picked up the letter and opened it, she had cast every spell she could recall at it and it was clean, no traces of any dark magic…nothing. Her blue eyes widened comically in shock as she read over the curved handwriting.
Dear Miss Elizabeth Gilmore,
Congratulations on your graduation from Hogwarts, it's a shame that your generation does not get to bask in the freedom of finishing school instead of being thrust into a war.
You must be curious as to whom I must be. We have met during one of Horace Slughorn's celebrations. My name is Saul Croaker, and I am head of the Unspeakables. Over the past year I have kept an eye on you and all your achievements and accolades. Your reputation precedes far beyond the walls of Hogwarts.
I do not just keep an eye out on any Hogwarts students, I keep an eye out for those that have a variety of skill sets, an aptitude for something unique, and most of all, the capability to hide truths. I believe that you, Miss Gilmore, have the potential to be a great asset to the department of Mysteries.
The letter dropped out of Elizabeth's trembling hands, the department of mysterys… a chance to make a change in the future and solve cases, to invent spells and experiment! The possibilities were endless! Her heart raced as she thought of all the opportunities this could lead to.
In the back of her mind Elizabeth pondered as to why Mr Croaker seemed to be so lax in the information he was handing out. This was a time of war, what if somebody had intercepted the letter, what if she had been disloyal and dobbed him in.
I'm sure you have surmised that I am offering you a position in the Department of Mysteries. Now, whilst I am the head of the department I cannot readily hand out positions like peppermint humbugs. If you wish to accept the vacancy please meet with me this coming Tuesday at 11:40 on level 9.
After you finish reading this letter it will burn up and cease to exist. And I warn you that you will not be able to speak of the specifics of our meeting to anyone, even if you attempt to the untraceable spell I put on this letter would trick your brain into changing the topic of conversation. If you choose to not turn up or decline my offer your memory of this letter will be wiped.
I sincerely hope that you accept my generous offer,
Don't forget, Tuesday 11:40 am
With Regards,
Saul Croaker, Head of the Department of mysteries.
Her stomach flipped simultaneously with nervousness and anticipation, In five days she could get a job that she wouldn't have imagined even in her wildest dreams. To think that she'd been given such a wonderful opportunity and Mr Croaker had given her a chance to decline, never would she have even considered to decline, she didn't even need to go to the meeting to accept the vacancy. It seemed that her entire seven years at Hogwarts were leading upto this offer, all the hardwork, and the studying…all the confusion to her pathway and she ended up with an option she hadn't even considered.
Elizabeth Gilmore, an Unspeakable.
It just sounded so bloody right.
Over the last week acceptance letters had been sent out all over the country, James, Mary and Sirius had been welcomed into the auror academy. Lily was going to begin Healer training at St mungo's in the coming weeks. Peter had deliberated over what he was to do before deciding to help out at Honeydukes until he made a firm career choice and Remus…well Remus had always known that post Hogwarts living would be very different , and much harder. But he was shielded from the horrors of being a werewolf for so long that the realisation of how life was going to be, was more difficult than he imagined.
It was a realisation that he did not deserve.
The brunette looked up at the clock and gasped, her blue eyes flickered down to her appearance and a grimace passed over her face. Today was her first meeting with the order of the phoenix. Putting down her cup of coffee she raced up her grandmother's squeaky stairwell.
She had yet to find herself a flat, She raced into her room and slipped on a yellow and white striped strapless top with a pair of bootleg denim jeans, and yellow flats. She added a pair of brown large sunglasses to pull her straight hair back with and without saying goodbye to her grandmother, apparated to the Marauders flat.
Elizabeth wrinkled her nose as the stench of the lounge wafted towards her, she couldn't have expected any less, four messy teenagers living together. With a roll of her eyes she picked up the clothing on the way to the kitchen and threw it in a pile on the couch which was littered with chip packets and pizza boxes. Typical.
The sight of Remus engrossed in a book sipping on a cup of tea welcomed her as she wandered into the kitchen. She cleared her throat from behind the engrossed teenager. Remus jumped from his seat causing the tea to swirl in the hot mug. He turned and a large smile spread across his scarred face.
"Hey Liz!" he stood up and grabbed a tissue to clean up the spilt tea, "You hungry?"
Her stomach grumbled at the idea but she looked at the clock and shook her head.
"Nah, I'm all good Remus. I wouldn't mind a cup of tea." He gave her a smile over his shoulder and picked up a box, "Earl Grey?"
She rolled her eyes.
"You know it's my favourite." He let out a laugh before waving his wand at the pot of water, "Are the others up?" she questioned looking around at the abnormally silent flat.
Remus shook his head,
"What do you think?" Elizabeth rolled her eyes and leant against the bench, "I was relishing my peace and quiet until you turned up." She snorted, Remus leant against the bench towards her, "Infact I was going to go wake them just as you turned up, but now that I'm so busy making your tea…" he trailed off. Elizabeth raised an eyebrow in amusment.
"You just want to finish the chapter you're reading." She laughed before turning on her heel and wandering down the narrow corridor. She walked to the furthest room before wandering in. A grin emerged on her pale face as she saw a lump under the sheets and dark curls splayed across a pillow.
She crept over to the large bed before sliding onto it next to Sirius. She turned towards him and a small smile spread on her face as she saw how peaceful he looked in his sleep, his full lips were spread slightly apart and she could feel his hot breath lightly on her face, dribble was dried onto his dimpled chin and his eyelashes were dusting against his cheeks.
He looked so young and innocent, there was no mischief on his face, no stress, no jokes or laughter, there was no love or lust, just peacefulness, and it was beautiful.
He was beautiful.
Sirius let out a mumble in his sleep and his arms wrapped around her waist bringing her closer, she snuggled closer to him and buried her head into his chiselled chest.
"Sirius." She whispered reluctantly, she didn't want to wake him up but they were running short on time. A groan escaped him and she felt him shake his head in denial against the top of her head. "Sirius."
Elizabeth reluctantly escaped his embrace and rolled onto her stomach so she was looking at a half asleep Sirius, his eyes were partly open and staring at her. "Good morning babes." She whispered. Sirius leant up to press a kiss onto her lips before she leant back with a shake of her head.
"No kisses until you brush your teeth." Sirius fell back onto his bed with a groan.
"You're one of those type of people." She raised an eyebrow, he gave her a roguish smirk, "I guess no morning sex for us then." He winked. She lightly hit him on the chest before pulling herself up off of his bed, She leant forward and pressed a kiss onto his forehead.
"Hurry up we're going to be late." He groaned and rolled on his bed, tumbling whilst cocooned in his Gryffindor coloured sheets.
"Stay." He raised a hand towards her in desperation, she snorted in dismissal,
"No!" she dragged out, "I have to wake peter and James." He raised his head off the carpet.
"You're not going to wake them up like you woke me up right."
She laughed and leant against the doorway. "I'm going to drop a pitcher of cold water on them."
Sirius's eyes lit up with mischief and pride, a large smile spread across his face, "Atta girl."
The Marauders and Elizabeth walked into the three broomsticks donned in summer muggle clothing attracting many glares from customers.
Elizabeth exhaled and leant up, "so much for being inconspicuous." She whispered into Sirius's ear, he let out a bark of laughter bringing upon them more curious looks.
"You, mon ange, cannot go anywhere without attracting peoples attention." He whispered back causing her to look up at him, eyes alight with curiousity.
"How come?" she whispered back, He bit his lip and grabbed onto her nimble hand as he felt eyes on her,
"Your magnificent beauty draws everyone in." a crimson blush spread across her lightly freckled cheeks, he always knew how to get a reaction out of her, it was infuriating!
"You're too sweet." She bit her full bottom lip drawing his eyes to her sensual but innocent action, merlin she was so bloody hot,
"You're far too humble." He joked as they walked towards madam rosmerta hand in hand.
Elizabeth looked up with a teasing grin.
"Your arrogance is enough for the both of us Sirius." He took a step back and placed his free hand on his chest with a wounded expression on his handsome face,
"Ouch, that hurt, that was low." He gasped causing her to let out a musical laugh. On the inside he marvelled at her beauty, she was an angel, the most beautiful, he imagined the angels in the stories he was told about in folk tales to look like her.
She opened her mouth to say something when a loud voice interrupted them causing a sigh of relief to come from James who was standing behind them during their banter. "Thank merlin." He muttered under his breath,
"Because you and Lilyflower are any better." Sirius turned to his best friend with eyes alight. James rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Oh it's been a long three months without you lot!" Madam Rosemerta sighed as she moved towards them and pressed loud kisses on all their cheeks. Peters face went crimson as she turned her back towards him to speak to Sirius and herself.
"You two still together I see, Oi James, You and Miss Evans still going good?" she asked conversationally. The bespectacled boy nodded, a large smile plastered across his face,
"Of course Madam Rosemerta, I told you, one day she's going to be my wife." The older lady shook her head with amusement,
"To be young again." She laughed, she had a pretty laugh, Elizabeth mused, not a delicate, giggly sort, but a loud, husky one. Like Beverley's had been, she thought with a sad smile. "Are you all up for your ususal?"
This bought her attention back to the conversation, she shook her head. "No Madam Rosmerta, we were just wondering if we can use some floo powder."
"So polite." She smiled and pinched one of Elizabeths cheeks, "Sirius you have always had good taste in companions." She commented, looking at the handsome boy. Elizabeth scrunched her face at the comment, Sirius was just very shallow and vain, she pondered, but then again he chose her so he cant be too shallow, she mused sardonically.
"Yeah go for it, three sickles a person." She winked and placed her hand out, the other on her jutted hip.
"Aw, Rosie Dear, you ask too much." He groaned as he fished through his jeans pockets for sickles. "Ooo I don't think I can find it." he patted himself down.
"I do not Sirius Black!" she laughed, "Unless you want to pay the ususal price of a galleon..." she trailed off. Causing laughter from James who fished out some money for all of them because Sirius happened to have muggle money and Madam Rosmerta didn't take muggle cash.
"SIRIUS!" a husky voice yelled across the room, "JAMES!"
The two boys and their companions turned to the sound only to be bombarded by a tall blonde who carried the stench of cigarettes.
"Marlene!" they exclaimed as they wrapped their muscled arms around the girl. "Long time no see!"
The girl pulled away from them and laughed, "Not long enough!" She opened her mouth to speak before she leant towards Remus and James, "Your missus are here." She winked, her pouty red stained lips upturned.
James turned just in time for Lily to jump into his arms and press a chaste kiss onto his lips.
"Hey stranger." He laughed, drinking in her image, she had tanned slightly from her holiday in italy, her hair seemed to have taken on a golden sheen from sunlight, her freckles less pronounced and her green eyes sparkled with love and joy. She was wearing a simple white sundress with brown sunglasses poised on her head.
"I've missed you." she breathed against him, James smiled as he gazed at her,
"I've missed you more." he whispered, "I bet." Lily let out a loud laugh.
Remus felt a pair of slender arms wrap around his torso from behind causing a large smile to spread across his scarred face. "Lo Remus." She said, her voice muffled from snuggling into his shoulder. He twisted his head around to see her buried into his back, his smile softened at the sight, she was so beautiful, so perfect.
"Mary." She looked up at the sound of her name and opened her mouth to reply when a loud crash startled everyone in the room. The group of what seemed to be half the ministry personnel turned and let out a sigh of relief at the sight before them.
A giggling blonde was lying face first with her hair splayed around her and a vase lying in two next to her feet. A tall, well built man was standing over her clutching his stomach with laughter as it bubbled to the surface. The female rolled onto her back with loud giggle, the man placed his hand out for her to grab onto which she did and pulled herself up with a small jump.
"Thanks babe."
The man smiled, a warm smile, a familiar smile.
"No problem Ally."
The short woman spun around as she heard the clearing of a throat and a large dimply smile spread across her pixie face. She sped walked over to the large group with a beaming grin, excitement emanated off her aura. When she got close enough she pounced into Elizabeth's arms with a squeal.
"I missed you all so much!" she pressed a kiss to her pale cheek and then spun around to her others in which she reciprocated her actions. Frank walked around and shook the guys hands and hugged the girls.
"Its been far too long!" James flashed her a wry smile,
"it seems everyones been saying that today." He gave Marlene a pointed look in which she reciprocated with a mock shocked look that clearly wrote 'who me?' on her sharp features. Alice looked over to Marlene and rolled her eyes with a laugh.
"I'm so glad you've all finished school now!" she clapped her hands together, "I can finally finalise my wedding planning because you lot are around and its extremely, hard to plan a wedding without your bridesmaids."
The guys looked at Frank with beseeching looks, begging him to not put them through the hell that is called wedding planning. Alice caught the look and placed a hand on her cocked hip.
"And don't think you lot are getting out of it." She pointed at them with a free hand, "Theres plenty you guys can do."
Sirius ran a hand through his locks.
"Alice, you know we'd love to help but Auror training you know." He shrugged, "It'll be hard pressed finding time to sleep let alone help with wedding planning."
Alice raised a thin eyebrow and flashed him a wry smile,
"You know Sirius, as someone who has completed auror training, I can attest to the fact that you will have enough time to sleep and plan a wedding considering I did it for the past seven months."
The smug smile fell off Sirius's handsome face, his full lips parted to speak when a hushed silence spread across the room causing everyone to turn around. There standing behind his desk was Dumbledore, in his silver haired glory, adorned in hot pink robes with blue stars splayed across it. He widened his arms and gave everyone a warm smile.
"Welcome my friends." His eyes twinkled behind his half moon glasses. He sat down in his throne like chair and folded his hands onto the table. "I have met briefly with many of you on the streets over the summer, I bid you welcome back; To many of you this is your first meeting with everyone here, Welcome."
A blush appeared on Elizabeth's cheeks as everyone's eyes whirled over to the group of newbies standing bunched together as if they were lost on their first day of Hogwarts.
"Today isn't going to be a stress filled, mission and tactic meeting, simply a meeting of introduction and ideas." He spoke, looking towards the recent graduates whom were giving him a look of gratitude. Some of the elder members were sporting sour looks at having to spend an hour in the company of nervous 18 year olds as opposed to doing something useful with their time whilst some looked just as grateful as the newbies.
"Today will be like we're all first years again, meeting one another for the first time once more." Peter who previously seemed overjoyed to not have to do much that day, he'd eaten far too many sweets at honeydukes last night and had a bad case of diarrhoea, seemed to pale within seconds of first year being mentioned. Not a good time for any of them let alone Peter.
"So what; Do we sit in a circle and give our name and a fact about us or something?" Sirius asked sarcastically, causing Elizabeth to kick him in the shins. Marlene snorted from next to him, the rest of the order internally sighed, the last thing they needed was another Marlene McKinnon.
"What did you not understand about what Dumbledore just said?"
Sirius gave her an affronted look, "I was just clarifying his statement Mars." Marlene rolled her eyes and flicked back her blonde locks.
"Well since you're now assured of what you're meant to do why don't you start us off, I don't think Gid and Fab understood the instructions." The two redheads perked up at the mention of their names. The two men opened their mouths to react at the statement when Sirius began to speak.
"Well my name is Sirius Orion Black the third." He said causing some to shift awkwardly in their seats, he gave those dark looks causing them to shift even more.
Marlene gave him a look.
"Well what about your fact about yourself, since you're so keen to share."
"I was being sarcastic about that part." He laughed causing her to roll her eyes and Elizabeth to nudge him in the side.
"Well I wasn't!" she laughed, "Go on you mutt, give us all you got."
Elizabeth inwardly rolled her eyes at the casual banter between them. Well to anyone else it was banter but to her it seemed like blatant flirting. She knew Sirius was a naturally flirty person, he practiced his flirting with his pot plants for merlins sake. But she didn't appreciate when he did it right in front of her. She nibbled on her bottom lip and slightly shrugged away his arms from around her.
The fact was that in front of her was standing this beautiful, slender, blonde. Said blonde was beautiful, with bright green eyes, and full, pouty red stained lips. A devil may care attitude and wit. She was practically a female Sirius for merlins sake. And here she was a dark haired arty bookworm, with blue eyes like half of the world population, freckles, pale skin and awkward disposition and bad banter. She was the right catch wasn't she.
"Oh if you insist!" he groaned, placing his hands in his front pockets. "I was a Gryffindor."
Marlene clapped her hands together slowly.
"Wow!" she said dryly, "I'm so enlightened."
Lily was glaring angrily at the back of sirius's head at the way he was blantaly acting whilst in a relationship, with her best friend none the less.
Remus looked back to see Elizabeth glaring daggers at Sirius's back whilst simultaneously staring at his backside, merlin he had such a perky butt, she was jealous. He flashed her a sympathetic smile and moved back so he was standing next to her.
"Enjoying the show?" She rolled her eyes and let out a frusturated huff, blowing her fly aways away from her face.
"Oh yes, I love watching my boyfriend flirt with some blonde bimbo whose probably given him 10 blowjobs."
Remus let out a huff of laughter.
"It was more than 10 actually." She glared at him causing him to shift awkwardly, "Look, You're his girlfriend Liz, just ask him about her and he'll probably tell you."
She rolled her eyes, seeing her motion he continued, "And if he doesn't tell you then ask her, Marlenes actually a really nice girl, once you get past the rudeness and the cigarettes and the arrogance."
"She sounds like an onion." Elizabeth remarked dryly causing him to throw her a curious look. "Many, layers, makes you tear up and tastes bad."
"Well according to Sirius she tas-" Elizabeth raised her hand up to remus, a disgusted expression on her face.
"Please do not even finish that sentence." He let out a huff of laughter as she looked around the room to see that they'd missed half the introductions. She gave Remus a look and he bent down slightly to whisper in her ear.
"Well you know our group, that's Benjy Fenwick, Cardaroc Dearborn, The Prewett twins…" She nodded along memorising all the names when the bane of her existence opened her big mouth and began to speak.
"Well I'm Marlene McKinnon, call me Mack, Mars, McKinnon- whatever gets you to sleep at night I'm not fussed." She snorted, "And I bloody love fire whiskey- that shits great." Elizabeth rolled her eyes and snorted underneath her breath. Of course she loved firewhisky, Sirius's second favourite drink.
Finally after what seemed like hours but in reality was about thirty minutes her turn came.
"My names Elizabeth Gilmore and…" she stumbled for abit, despite having planned what she was going to say for the last twenty minutes. "I love art, everything about it, drawing, painting, photography; you name it." Some of the older members looked at her approvingly, she was a fresh change after Sirius's blunt replies and Marlene's seemingly witty comment about fire whiskey.
Elizabeth let out a sigh of relief when Sirius and herself were standing in his flat alone. Lily and James had gone down the Evans's residence for lunch, which James did not mind at all considering Lily's mother seemed to love James more than she loved both of her daughters combined, much to Mr Evans's chagrin. Mary and Remus had gone for a picnic and Poor Peter had a shift at Honeydukes.
She turned to Sirius and glared at him angrily causing him to take a cautious step back. She was furious, how dare he treat her like nothing but a toy to walk around with and show off infront of all those distinguished people. How dare he just flirt with some blonde bimbo whilst he was holding her close to him. She was his girlfriend for fucks sake, she wanted to be treated like it.
"So." She said, anger lacing through her voice, Sirius took another step back, "Do you want to explain to me what today was about?" her exterior calm but her interior was fuming.
"We had a meeting and met a whole bunch of people." She nodded slowly, chewing on the inside of her cheek as she did so.
"Anything else?" he shook his head, confusion painted all over his features. She let out a harsh laugh and pinched the bridge of her nose. "See that is exactly the problem! The fact that you have no clue of what you did wrong!"
"Well then, why don't you explain to me what I seemed to have done wrong." He questioned, his mischievous grey eyes hardened to a steely colour which would've made any less beings flinch.
"YOU DISRESPECTED ME!" she yelled, finally snapping at her irritation from his ignorance, how dare he stand there clueless whilst inside she was breaking.
"HOW IN MERLINS NAME DID I DISRESPECT YOU!" he yelled back with equal force, pointing between one another, spit splayed from his mouth as he spoke. "You're the one that moved away from me! You're the one that was ignoring me during that meeting!" he pointed at her emphasising the you. "How is it that I DISRESPECTED YOU!"
"Well you see, Sirius Orion Black the third." She mocked in a haughty voice, " two words. Marlene McKinnon." His face looked incredulous.
"YOU ARE BARMY! What the hell does Mars have to do with any of this"
"You spent the WHOLE NIGHT-" she emphasised, tears began to spring to her blue eyes, "FLIRTING with this hot, skinny blonde, who is every guys wet dream INFRONT OF YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" he opened his mouth to protest, "You know your brunette, nerdy, not so outgoing GIRLFRIEND, oh wait, she seemed to have SLIPPED YOUR MIND whilst you were flirting with some bimbo."
"She's not a bim-"
Elizabeth interrupted him midway, raising her hand.
"Oh so now you're DEFENDING HER!" she spat, "Merlin! You are- You are unbelievable!"
"ME!" He spat, his voice incredulous, "ME! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS BULLSHIT!"
"I.." Her mouth opened ever so slightly, not being able to think of anything to say in her defence.
"See You can't even deny it!" he let out a mocking bark of laughter, "You know nothing about Marlene and you're sitting there judging the both of us like you're my grand aunt Cassiopeia!"
"YOU HAVENT TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT HER!" she screamed, wringing her hands and pacing around, she picked up some cups and stormed over to the kitchen. He angrily followed her, rage plastered onto his features.
"YOU'VE NEVER ASKED!" he yelled, "WHAT DO YOU WANNA KNOW LIZ?" he questioned angrily, kicking a cupboard, "EVERYTHING HUH, well lets see." He spat, "In third year I lost my virginity to her, we shagged almost every night and day for two weeks straight. She gave me my first smoke, she was my best friend outside of the boys. Her family hated the fact she was in Gryffindor and so did mine so we related to one another, she has three older brothers, I once saved her from alcohol poisoning, she tried to commit in sixth year. Is that enough Liz?" Her chest heaved from yelling as she took in the information he was providing. She...merlin she felt so bad as her chest deflated and her heart dropped/
"DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE LIZ?" he yelled frustrated with her, she smashed the cups down into the sink, uncaring if they smashed and turned to him angrily. "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU EVEN CARE!"
"Sirius you should be telling me these things anyway!" she yelled splaying her arm out in wonder, "I'm your girlfriend for god sakes! Not your mother, I'm not going to ground you!"
"Oh really!" he spat, rolling his steely eyes, "I was half expecting you to act like the crazed maniac she is!"
"You just don't understand do you?" she implored, a single tear rolled down her cheek, she turned and glared out of the window, "Its less about not telling the truth and more about the fact that you hurt me."
He looked wounded for a moment, like a pup who missed his owner. He felt so lost, like what did she mean! He loved her and in his mind, as long as they shared love then everything was fine, what the fuck was she badgering on about.
"You had the AUDACITY" she emphasised, "to treat me as if I was nobody Sirius, and it bloody hurt because I love you, and I honestly believed you when you said you loved me too." She spoke calmly and steadily, the adrenalin from before wearing off. She grabbed her handbag and jacket from the top of the couch and began to walk out of the front door.
"You know I don't just tell anyone I love them." He told her causing her to stop in her footsteps, "Marlene's hot, I won't deny it. But you mon ange, you are beautiful. I just don't know how to make you see that." She twisted her head just as a tear rolled down her pale cheek. His heart broke within at being the reason why she was in tears, he loathed himself for making her hurt. But he couldn't help the anger that welled within him, the fire that was burning within his inferno heart.
She shook her head mournfully and placed her hand on the door knob.
"That's not enough Sirius. Actions speak louder than words." She sighed, and walked out of the door. "Sweet talking your way out of it isn't going to fix anything, its just going to make things worse. Until you comprehend what you've done I don't want any contact with you."
And then she shut the door behind her. And let out the sob that had been threatening to tear out of her throat.
A tear ran down Sirius's face when he heard her sob, he had done this. His stupid immaturity and obliviousness let them sink this far. He had hurt the woman he loved, he had made her cry and scream and it was his fault.
An angry growl escaped him as bitterness and hate flowed through his veins, He grabbed a plate that was sitting around and piffed it at the red wall, seeing it shatter just as his relationship with Elizabeth did.
He crumbled against the wall as a sob teared itself from his throat.
She left him.
She actually left him.
Well that was intense... Hehe I'm so sorry! All of you are always telling me how much you love Blackmore and now I've gone and split them up, I promise, its not the end of the story, theres still sooooo much to go! But as a..."please don't hate me" gift I'm going to give you guys a sneak Peek...
