The Girl Who Was Forgotten

Chapter 35: Good and the very very bad.

"Save it Sirius." I growled turning in the opposite direction, only to have Sirius grab my arm and turn me around again.

"Can't you he's such a wanker to you! We don't do it because Snivilus is a loser, we do it because he's a dick!"

"You hex anyone who looks at you funny Sirius! I don't know why I ever thought I could be friends with you!" I yelled pulling my arm from his grip. I kept walking towards the dungeons but Sirius wouldn't leave me alone.

He had been trying to talk to me all day, and so had Sev- Severus, but Lilly and I had ignored all of the stupid boys (James had been pestering Lilly) the only time we separated was after dinner when we went to our separate common rooms, we had considered having a sleepover but we decided we were tired and we would end up talking all night so it wasn't for the best. That's when stupid Sirius decided to corner me in the bloody hallway.

"We haven't hexed anyone other than Snivellus since third year!" He retorted standing in front of me.

"Ugh leave me alone Sirius!"

"Go out with me."

"What?" I stopped dead in my tracks, what was he playing?

"I'll leave Snivellus alone, if you go out with me." He said dead serous.

"Are you serous?"

"Well I'm not Regulus am I?"

"Haha very funny."

"So what do you say Mia Birsa? Will you grant the honour of calling you my girlfriend?"

I was utterly speechless, I mean he would always joke about us being meant to be but I always thought he was joking, I mean we had that one date thing but I never saw it as that I saw it more of a ' lets not hate each other anymore' thing.

"Why me?" The question escaped my lips before I had even decided to say a word, but it was a valid question, he had swarms of girls all wanting to get into he bed but he never gave them a second glance, but he was asking me out?

"Because you are you, and you are the most amazing person I have ever met."

"Lair," I replied crossing my arms.

"Please?" He begged, taking a step towards me, he was so close.

"Fine," I grumbled, I may be angry with Severus but if it meant they'd stop tormenting him, I'd go out with bloody Sirius Black.

Next thing I know I was wrapped in two stupid muscular arms.

"Thankyou."

"Travel in my carriage to Hogsmead this weekend," Bellatrix said as I walked into the common room, my mind still whirling from what had just happened with Sirius I couldn't proses what she had said.

"What?"

"We're having a meeting with... you know who, on the weekend, since its your first meeting I'll have to show you the way." She whispered.

The last thing I wanted to do was to see this guy but I knew I had to.

"Okay."

✳✳✳

I placed the mask on, it clung to my face like a leech, how did I end up like this?

I walked out into the dimly lit, living room, I doubt it could be called that, everyone in skull-like masks, standing around in black cloaks that clung to us like mist it was hard to see the room as 'living'.

"Everyone is here my lord," Bellatrix whispered at the man who had entered the room behind me.

"Excellent... Mia stand beside Severus why don't you," He answered his voice slimy but dangerous like a eel lying in wait for prey to swim past its cave.

I stood next to who I was fairly sure was Severus, heart beating in my chest like a drum my mind screaming 'I don't belong here!'

✳✳✳

I hadn't absorbed anything of what he said, I sat next to Bellatrix on the ride home trying to listen as she marvelled at how amazing he was, and how marvellous his plans were. But I couldn't concentrate; my mind kept wondering to my Mum, it was weird considering I hardly thought about her, maybe he said something that affected her. I just couldn't place what it was though.

✳✳✳

It had been three days and my Mum still hadn't sent a letter back, I leaned against Sirius's chest as his arms wrapped around me. I didn't mind this side of Sirius, the un-wanker side. He knew something was off but he didn't ask questions he just tried to make me feel better. I could get used to the boyfriend thing.

I saw out of the corner of my eye James trying to wrap his arms around Lilly but she batted his hands away trying to read. I couldn't help but smile, Lilly had agreed to date James so that he wouldn't torment Severus, but the most girlfriend-y thing she did was not tell James to sod-off, I could do the same if I wanted to but it was nice having someone who I could just randomly cuddle without being questioned.

I smiled at the warm, golden fire, I had been avoiding the Slytherin Common room due to Bellatrix, Severus and the deatheater- wannabees being there. But I still had my snake.

I reached down and stroked Sunfire's head, in between her eyes, snakes can't hum but the sound she made was an equivalent to one.

I was drifting off to sleep but a hand on my shoulder, made me jump, definintly waking me up. I looked up to see McGonagall, face solomn.

"Miss Birsa if you would please come with me," She said, not even telling me to get off Sirius who was looking between McGonagall and myself confused.

"Okay, Sirius hold Sunfire," I said slowly shifting myself before placing the snake on his chest."

McGonagall lead my to Dumbledore's office silently, he energy was a deep blue, I slowly tried to reach out with my mind, "Poor dear, and its almost the holidays as well..." This only added to my fears, what was going on?

✳✳✳

My heart sunk into my stomach, it felt like I had been thrown under water and my body was made of lead. I could barley hear Dumbledore saying something about staying strong, something about going home if I wanted to later tomorrow, about not having to attend classes. But all I could hear over and over on constant repeat.

"You Mother has been found dead."

I sat their for what seemed like hours, the thump in my throat growing stronger until the weight got to much, and I sunk to the ground screaming in grief.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AN: 

I am a horrible person. 

I am sorry... actually no I'm not. 

I am sorry though for all the time jumps but I really need to advance the plot. 

Thoughts on this new development? 

Okay until next time!
