"Relax Black, I'm not trying to seduce you or anything."

~~

November 16th,1976

The door opened and Electra entered the boys' dormitory trying to be as quiet as possible so she wouldn't wake her friend up. He was sleeping in his bed seeming relaxed. Seeing him calm in his sleep was a rare sight even when he had left his house. The girl went and sat on James' bed and turned so she would face Sirius directly.

She smiled at the way he was so calm and peaceful. At the way his hair were tangling on his pillow. At the way his lips were slightly open. At the way that his arm was wrapped around a pillow which was hugging tight. How she wanted to be that pillow. She couldn't help the urge so she went and knelt next to his starting slowly passing her fingers through his hair. She wanted to stare at his face for hours. To kiss his parted lips. To hug him as tight as he was hugging that pillow. But that would change everything between them.

"El?" The boy's eyes slightly opened

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you." She said and pulled back not wanting to trouble him with guilt in her eyes.

The boy smirked at first "No... Continue, please..." He said and closed his eyes at her touch. She smiled and felt her cheeks reddening. Her fingers touched his cheek and he let out a calm breath enjoying her light touch.  "Electra, are you in love with James?" The boy suddenly asked

She didn't reply at first. Maybe it was for the best to let him believe that. If he thought that she was in love with James he wouldn't be uncomfortable around her. It would actually be for the best to agree. But something was telling her not to. She wanted to tell him that she was in love with him and that James is just her best friend but instead of that she gave a small answer. "No, I'm not..." But the boy didn't seem to listen. His eyes were closed and his breath was coming out calm. He was asleep for once more.

She stood up and sat for once more on James' bed being close if he needed anything after waking up. She hadn't slept all night long. Not just because of  Sirius being in that situation, but because of what her brother and Regulus had done. She should have known that this would happen sooner or later. All this wandering around the castle with Bellatrix, Lucius and Snape wasn't for good. How would she talk to her brother again? He had joined the ones who killed Pers. Did he know? Did he know that their brother had been killed because of them?

She should find both him and Regulus and talk to them. Regulus would probably be mad from last night. She wandered her glance and laid it on Sirius. What had he said to him that broke him so much? Was it something more that he hadn't told her? And why would he want to hurt his brother so much? Because she really well knew that Regulus was missing Sirius as much as Sirius was missing him. Orpheus was capable of shouting. She was sure that he could shout just in order to defend himself. But it would be better this way. Because she would definitely shout to both of them with the first chance given. Let it at least be a worthy arguement.

She looked at the clock in the wall. Twenty five past ten. She had plenty of time before the boys would have finished their classes and she could go to talk to her brother. Her glance wandered around the room trying to find something to pass her time. The map wasn't that interesting during times like this. Most of the students and professors were in classes. Dumbledore was walking up and down in his office. Myrtle would be crying over the silliest thing, Peeves would probably be plotting against the Bloody Baron. Nearly Headless Nick would be discussing with the Grey Lady trying to get her attention.

The girl stood up from her place after checking the boy sleeping on the bed beside her and moved towards a great mirror. James wasn't as narcissistic with his looks as Sirius. Of course not. But that didn't stop him from carrying in his stuff a mirror which he resized as soon as he got him out of the box and placed him on the dormitory. He had clearly said that it may not be easy to go everywhere along with this mirror but at least when he'd look his reflection he would be sure that the mirror is not lying. That was because the bathroom mirror had been bewitched by Sirius and Remus so everytime James would look at his reflection he would see a bigger eye, no hair, sometimes even two noses.
