Stranded (Sirius Black x OC)

"Ali," Sirius beamed "I couldn't find us a compartment but theses boys said we could share with them." The boy stood up and walked closer to the green eyes girl and leaned one arm on the door frame above where Alice was leaning cross armed with a slight smile. "Their nice, I promise." The girl ducked under Sirius' arm and went over to the three boys. One was very messy with dark hair and dark eyes, he has introduced himself as James Potter, her parents wouldn't be too thrilled that Alice was friendly with a blood traitor. Next was Peter Pettigrew, a small boy with fair blonde hair and blue eyes. He seemed shy but Alice didn't want to push any further. Lastly there was Remus Lupin, he had fluffy light brown hair with light brown eyes and a few scars across his face. Remus looked tall for his age but not giant and he was tucked away in the corner reading his book but still joining in to the conversations.

The  strawberry blonde girls sat between Remus and Sirius rather ridged whilst talking until Sirius pulled her close to him as he spoke. Her head rested on his chest as he leaned against the wall of the compartment. "Loosen up Ali. They aren't here and I sure as well won't tell them that you actually had fun. So loosen up." Sirius said quietly enough for only her to hear. The girl lifted her head slightly and turned to face him. They looked into each other's eyes smiling. 

"What house are you all hoping to get?" James had piped up. " I'm hoping Gryffindor." He looked around looking smug. "Either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor." Remus replied and Peter perked up too and stated Gryffindor. Sirius looked at Alice before speaking "I want Gryffindor but I'm probably going to be a Slytherin." He said.

The smile Alice was previously wearing fell quickly. "Well I would hope not," James said with a huff. "Slytherins are all evil backstabbing vile specimen. They should all be exiled." Alice's eye flicked from one boy to the other. She had just been starting to like them and feel comfortable around them and now they were going to hate her. 

Her eyes met Sirius' he was previously looking down at the floor but was now looking at her as Remus was calling her name. They were all waiting for her preferred house but she couldn't hear them she couldn't speak. Her's and Sirius' eye contact spoke too many words. Too many words that she couldn't process what was going on around her.

Alice's green eyes were brimming with faint tears and she stood up walking out of the compartment. All four of the boys looked at her worried and confused calling out to her. Sirius got up and flowed her grabbing her wrist in the corridor spinning her around so she was facing him.

"What. Do. You. Want." She spat whilst ripping her wrist out of his grasp. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm sorry that you had a plan and I'm sorry I ruined that." He was talking loud so she would listen to him. They'd never really fought before only little disputes about what quidditch team they wanted to win or who regulus liked best. Nothing ever this heartbreaking. "Your sorry?" She whispered "Your sorry?" He voice was growing louder. "Are you sorry that you let me sit there for years telling you my plan, our plan. Are you sorry for not telling me how you felt and leading me on to believe that we want to same thing?" Alice was shouting loud enough for the whole train to hear now and when someone poked their head out of the compartment she shot them a glare that lead them to cower back into where they were.

 "I hate it at home you know this Ali. This could be our chance to get away. Why can't you just be happy for me?" Sirius sounded hurt and Alice had tears streaming down her face like a waterfall whilst it's raining. "Sirius, I would have been happy for you either way, but you didn't tell me. I am your best friend and yet you didn't tell me that you were going to leave me for gryffindor for gods sake. You, you made me look like a fool in there," Alice shouted pointing at the compartment they had both left. " they were saying how I was a evil backstabbing vile specimen that should be exiled. And you did nothing. Nothing!" Alice's voice was cracking and James, Remus and Peter were now watching unknowing about what they were fighting about though and Alice couldn't see them through her tears. 

"Because I agree with them. Their right about that." Sirius said yelling back at Alice now. Alice stopped crying and Sirius was now panting. Alice was shocked, she felt as if Sirius had stabbed her through the heart. "Well then, think of me exiled." She said backing away from him averting her eyes from his dark ones before spinning on her heel and walking away. 

Sirius watched her walk away until he felt James wrap an arm around his shoulder pouncing on his back. " I do t know what that's about but let's go get some food to take your mind off it." He said dragging him back to their compartment. Before walking in Sirius looked back just in case Alice had came back: she hadn't.
