A Sirius Matter...

Welcome Back Drama

Hi! Hope everyone had a great Easter! 🐥 I've been a bit busy over the weekend but I'm back and posting another chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

"LILY!" I shrieked. Finally finding her on the train.

"Yay OMG I missed you so much Soph!" She hurried over and hugged me.

"Hi Sev" I said nodding at him.
"Hello" he muttered quietly. I knew he didn't really like me, I think he was jealous of my new friendship with Lily.

"I think I'm going to sit with some of the boys Lily" he got off his seat moodily and carried his trunk out into the corridor, shutting the glass door behind him.

Lily and I sat gossiping in our personal compartment.

"How was Sirius' house?"
"Eh. It wasn't too bad. His mum loved me too much though. We went to stay with James for a bit".

"Unlucky." She told me, blushing a little.

"No, it was good actually. The boys didn't talk much but James' mum is lovely!"

Lily blushed again and pulled a newspaper off the seat and hid her face behind it.

Assuming the conversation was finished, I pulled out my wand and began twirling it, causing little silver sparks to shoot out of the end. I grabbed my charms textbook and started practising a levitating charm and a summoning charm which was much harder than grade two. I eventually got Lily's attention by summoning the paper out of her hands.

"Hey!" She said, indignantly.

"What's your problem? Did I say something to upset you?" I asked.

"I don't have one. Nothing at all - what's your problem?"

"You don't talk to James or Sirius or Remus or Peter and they're always nice to you - we all know James likes you."

"Oh we all know why Sirius hangs out with you so much!" Lily snarled.

"Why would that be then? Because it's a mystery to me!" I argued, folding my arms.

"He just wants to get in your pants" she told me gleefully.

I stared at her. He wouldn't abuse our friendship like that would he? Or would he... Sirius did seem a bit of a 'player'. He was very flirty.

As tears seemed to cloud my vision, Lily's expression seemed to soften.

"Oh Soph. I didn't mean it. I'm so sorry"

"It's okay. Don't be sorry." I wiped my eyes violently.

Lily watched me guilty as I tried to stunt the flow of water pouring from eyes.

"I'll be right back" I told her, getting up blindly and leaving the compartment.

I wandered up the train, looking for the toilet so I could have some privacy to calm down. I had never felt so used, my friendship with Sirius, someone who I had spent ALL summer with, felt broken.

"Sofia? What's wrong?" Sirius walked into me while I approached the bathroom.

"Nothing" I growled, pushing past him.

I could feel his eyes on me as I carried on walking down the hall, opening the door or the toilet cubicle and locking it behind me.

~~~~~•~~~~~

I opened the door to my compartment again 10 minutes later after I had calmed myself down. I realised that I had never had an feelings for Sirius more than a friend and that the news, aside from feeling betrayed, had not come as a surprise, I knew all too well Sirius' player personality.
