The Marauder Girls (Book 1)

Chapter 24

Jade's POV

After we finished feeding our animal we walked back up the hill because Professor Kettleburn was basically insane and said we could go back to the commons until our next class. I sat in the chair that Sirius had sat in earlier and Remus sat in the one next to it with only a side table separating us.

All I could think about was Eve and Sirius. At this point I don't even care if they date. If anything, I just want it back to normal. Sirius being sarcastic and everybody laughing about it. I hated how things were now. I absolutely hated it.

I feel a hand touch mine and I look at Remus. "Stop being so upset. They will get through this. Stop making it your problem." That infuriated me. What was he thinking? I pull my and away from his and start yelling. "Really Remus? Don't you think I would if I could? And how do you know anything about it? How do you know they'll get through it? Just because you know almost everything doesn't mean you know this!"

I run into the girls room and throw myself on my bed. I was sick of stress. And I was also sick of people who knew everything. Marlene , Remus, my family.... They all knew or thought they knew everything.

I check the time and see that I should be switching classes but I also didn't want to. Maybe I could skip? No, of course I couldn't. I would be in huge trouble. So, I force myself up and go to class,ignoring Remus's attempts to talk to me.

I see Sirius and Eve (Not together of course) but I don't want to talk to either of them. So, I go take a seat next to Peter hoping I don't have to answer any questions.

"Why aren't you sitting with Eve?" I guess the questions are inevitable. "Please don't ask questions." I say and he instantly stops speaking.

I start thinking then remember this morning. Midnight...... I wonder how that's going to go. I also wonder if Amos is going to ask Eve again... Oh God, this was a long day.

This is Kelly :) aww poor Jade :(

-Eve's POV-

So I think Jade is mad at me because I won't make up with Sirius. She didn't sit with me so I ended up sitting with Moony. He keeps looking at me.

"Stop it." I say after about the 15th time. "I'll make up with him! Happy?" I say and shut up and focus on what Flitwit is telling us.

Moony turns around and beams at Jade. Oh god....

So Charms and history of magic went by in a blur, so now I'm sitting at the Gryffindor table eating dinner. Its unusually quiet.

I gulp and look at moony, who nods his head eagerly. "Hey um...Sirius? C-can I talk to you? Um..outside?" I say and my eyes dart up to his. I see him nod and we walk out of the great hall.

We go out to the grounds so that we aren't overheard.

"So I'm sorry. I kind of overreacted and I think it'd just be best if we put it all behind us." I say then look at him.

"I don't want to put it behind us, Eve." He says.

"What do y-" he cuts me off.

"I love you Eve. I just realized that when you were mad. You never know what you have until its gone, right?"

"Right." I murmur. "Padfoot, can we not complicate this. I just want it to be how it was."

"But it won't be. Jade and Remus are together, sooner or later Evans will come around and go out with James, then there's Peter who'll probably never get a girl,.....then there's us. Eve, it won't be the same, WE won't be the same, and I don't want it to be." He says and I have tears welled up in my eyes.

"I don't want it to be the same either." I whisper. He leans down and kisses me, for real this time. It's unlike every other kiss I've ever had, now I know what girls mean when they say stuff about fireworks. I break the kiss and he leans his forehead against mine.

"Will you be my girlfriend, for real this time?" In answer I kiss him.

He gives me that lopsided grin, "I'll take that as a yes?"

"Yes you big goof"
