Hey guys! Wow well this chapter is full of great moments between Sirius and Fauna so hope you enjoy! Oh and thanks so much to those of you who are still reviewing. And for those who aren't, please due, because I would like to know if you enjoy my story, questions, comments, concerns? Alright well on with the story.

"So this is Hogwarts kitchens." I said slowly. I had to admit it was impressive. I mean the fact that Sirius had to tickle a picture of a pear to get us in was strange, but other than that, it was a sight. There were little houselves running around trying to prepare meals for later, and cleaning up.

"Yeah, this is it." Sirius said going to sit at a small table in the middle. I followed him. "Don't look so stiff Douglas."

I rolled my eyes. "Listen, it's not everyday you find out you spill secrets when you're drunk."

"Oh please, I've done it a few times too."

I sighed. "Not as embarrassing as mine I bet."

Sirius snorted. "Don't be so sure. Thanks love," He said taking a goblet and winking at a female house elf who blushed profusely. Hm, I didn't even know house elves could blush. He took a sip and handed me another goblet. "Last year I got so drunk I told James I fancied his mum."

I almost spit up my pumpkin juice. "Wait....wait...you what?" I said laughing.

Sirius grinned. "You wouldn't be laughing if you saw what his mum looked like." I smiled at him as a tray of truffles was brought to us. He handed one to me and took one himself. "So let me ask you a question."

"Shoot," I said taking a bite.

"If you like me, why did you say yes to Remus for the ball?"

Bugger, here we go. "Um," I said clearing my throat. "Well, I just thought I'd eventually get over my crush. And it's not that I don't like Remus, I do. Just not in that way I guess."

Sirius nodded his head. "It's going to be a while before Remus talks to you again."

I groaned. "I know. I'm horrible."

Sirius grinned. "Don't blame yourself. Nobody can resist me."

I sighed dramatically. "Well I do regret it. I mean apart from the looks, there really isn't much is there?"

Sirius looked shocked, before he realized I was laughing. "Don't ever joke like that again!" I rolled my eyes and grabbed my goblet. This was nice. I couldn't believe I was actually sitting and having a conversation with Sirius Black. I would be the envy of the whole school. He was looking at me strangely. It was a bit unnerving."You know if you had told me earlier that you liked me, it could have saved us a lot of trouble."

I tilted my head. "Why?"

"Because," He said, his face coming toward mine. "I could have done this much sooner." And with that said, Sirius Black, yes THE Sirius Freaking Black kissed me. Right there in the kitchens. He KISSED me! I was shocked at first, but soon fell into rhythm with him. And let me tell you, it was the most amazing thing in my short life. His lips that had kissed so many others, were the perfect size for mine. And when his hand grabbed my hair, I thought I had died. I could hear giggling in the back, but I ignored it. I felt the weird tingling sensation I had in the beginning of the year when I had touched him. When we broke apart Sirius just stared at me.

"Wow," I sighed, blushing a bit.

Sirius stood up, messing with his hair. "I....have to go." He mumbled, before leaving me alone in the kitchens.

I was mortified. No, I was beyond mortified. Had I been that bad? Was I that disgusting? I felt like crying and hitting him with a bludger! This was the most embarrassing thing. I stood up and awkwardly thanked the house elves before leaving the kitchens. I didn't know how long it took me to get back to the Gryffindor tower, but it was a while. I saw Remus as I entered, but he just glared at me before leaving the room. I didn't even bother to go down to dinner, and I slept early. I didn't understand why Sirius was such a prick! I mean he WAS a Black after all, but still! He could have at least decently told me I wasn't any good, the jerk! And Remus, well-at least he had an excuse to be a prick toward me. Oh, how had my life gotten so completely complicated.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the next week I stayed away from everyone left at Hogwarts, and instead I would just go down to the kitchens or the library. Honestly, it was like Black always knew where I was. I couldn't even look at him. And so what if I was being a bit over dramatic? He well deserved it! Although weird things started happening after the kiss.

It was strange; every night I would take a walk around the grounds and visit Hagrid. And every night I would see a huge dog. I mean it was like he was following me. At first he kept his distance, but after a few days he got closer and closer to me. It was a while before I warmed up to him though.

Tonight was one of those nights. "Goodbye Hagrid." I called exiting his hut.

Bark

I turned around and saw the same black dog. He walked over to me and sat down tilting his head. "What?" I asked. The dog whimpered and layed down on his back. "Do you want me to pet your stomach?" I sat on my knees as the dog barked. I pet his stomach and (here's where it gets freaky) it looked like he smiled. "Where'd you come from," I mumbled. The dog sat up and started walking away. He got a few feet away before turning back and looking at me expectantly. I was confused, before I realized he wanted me to follow him. So I did. He led me to the lake and licked my face when I sat next to him. "Stop," I said laughing. I stayed with him for a few hours before leaving back to the Common Room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mum and Dad,

I hope you're both well. Mum you'll be happy to know

I haven't taken off the necklace you had sent me since

I got it. All is well with me. I was feeling a bit under

the weather a few days ago, but I feel better now. How is-

"Hey Douglas."

I looked up from my letter to see Sirius standing above me. I glared at him before turning back to my letter. The giant squid sprayed us a little with water.

"I know I fully deserve that but, you can't stay mad at me forever."

"Watch me," I spat at him. I mean normal people don't kiss other normal people and then just run away,

"Ha! I got you talking." He said smiling. When I continued to glare at him he sighed. "Why are you so mad?"

I stood up slowly. "Because you are a prat." I said slowly and evenly. As I started to walk away, I felt him pull me back.

"Come on Douglas. Remus isn't talking to me, you're not talking to me, I have no one to talk to."

"Not my problem." I said walking faster. The jerk followed me.

"Fauna I-"

I spun around. "What do you want?!"

"Why are you so mad?" Oh no way was he getting angry!

"Why am I mad?" I asked poking him in the chest. "Hm, how many girls have you kissed and then ran away from?" When he was quiet I rolled my eyes. "You could have just said I wasn't any good. It could have saved you the trouble."

"Not any-now what are you talking about?"

I groaned loudly. "Just leave me alone."

But he didn't. "Why are you so bothered? Because I left?" He sighed. "Listen it was a weird moment." At my open mouth he shook his head. "Not in that way. I mean I didn't plan it-well I did, but it was just a little too weird for me."

"Gee, thanks a lot." I said sarcastically.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Listen that's not what I meant. It's just the whole Remus thing makes this a little complicated."

I looked at him. "And what is this?" I asked.

Sirius shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm not exactly sure myself."

I was quiet for a moment. "So I wasn't horrible?"

"No. Actually you were quite good." He said grinning. I smiled. "Ah, finally a smile."

"Well I'm still mad at you." I said crossing my arms and pretending to be mad.

Sirius laughed. "Yes, it's very obvious."

I slapped his arm. "You're a jerk. Why do I always have problems with you?"

"Me?" Sirius asked incredulously. "You're the crazy one. You take everything far too seriously."

I rolled my eyes. "Now who's being over dramatic."

Sirius looked upset before realizing I was kidding. He rubbed my hair. "You give me a headache Douglas."

I patted my hair down and started walking again. Sirius followed me. "So, Remus still not talking to you?"

Sirius grinned. "Well he called me a prat the other day. Sort of mumbled it after I kissed him."

I looked at him strangely. "Hm, didn't know you swing that way."

Sirius' eyes widened. "What? No! As a joke, you know. Ha ha?"

"Uh-huh," I said pretending not to believe him. "He hasn't so much as mumbled anything to me. Ugh, I'm horrible."

Sirius nodded. "A regular slag. How was I to know you were seducing me?"

I looked at him shocked. "Seducing you. Need I remind you, you were the one talking about my beauty." I deepened my voice comically. "'I never forget a pretty face'. Oh give me a break. Does that really work with girls?"

Sirius laughed. "Actually that's got me a few shags here and there."

"You're dirty." I said slowly.

Sirius laughed and grabbed my arm. "So, now that you're not mad at me anymore," I froze when he started coming closer. "How about we continue where we left off?"

"Huh?" I said brain dead. Yup that was the sexiest thing I could thing of. Huh.

Sirius grinned and inched closer and closer. "Say you want me to kiss you."

Ah, so that was his game. "No," I whispered.

He looked me in the eyes and grabbed my chin. "Stubborn wench,"

"Prat,"

And with that, Sirius Black and I were once again snogging in the middle of Hogwarts corridor. This one was longer and more intense then our little snog session in the kitchens. I felt him push me against a wall and pull my hair a little.

"Oy you weasel, that's my hair,"

Sirius laughed and pulled harder. Listen God, yeah if you wanted to just kill me right now I'd be perfectly happy with it. Mind you just let me finish this little-

A clearing of someones throat made us break apart. We practically jumped away from each other when we saw it was Remus.

"Remus," I said shocked.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "You two are disgusting. Can't you stop groping each other for a second?"

Stupid Sirius grinned and pulled me to his side. "What can I say mate? She can't resist me."

I snorted. "Don't you wish?" I pulled away from Sirius and stepped toward Remus. "Remus, are you still mad at me?"

Remus shrugged. "A little. But what I want to know is what you two are now?"

Sirius and I looked at each other. "Um, good question." I blushed. "So uh,"

"What? You can't be snogging partners. Fauna would never stand for it. And Sirius isn't the exclusive type."

"Moony my boy, where is this new attitude from. It hurts me so," Sirius said dramatically. Remus and I rolled our eyes. "Douglas and I have not discussed our relations as of yet."

"Well whatever we are, we love you Remus." I said smiling at him.

I could tell he wanted to smile. It wasn't Remus' nature to be mad at someone for too long. "Yes, yes," He mumbled blushing.

"Well, who's hungry?"

"You mean you're not full from eating each other's faces?"

"Ah touche Moony."

I stood in the middle of Hogwarts' very own Marauders as we walked to the kitchens. I threw one arm around both. "Boys, this is a very momentous day in Hogwarts History. You two get to walk with me."

Sirius guffawed as Remus laughed. "You've been hanging out with Sirius too much."

-------------------------------------------

Later that night, we were sitting in the Common Room laughing about some story Sirius was telling us, when I realized I was the only one laughing. I looked at Remus' sleeping form on the couch. He looked like a baby, and for once not the tired and disheveled young boy.

Sirius had his arm around me on the floor where we were sitting. "You know when I was younger I always knew James was my family. I mean really my family."

I nodded my head. "He's more of a brother than your own."

"He's never so much as argued for more than a day with me. Remus is my family too, but he'll chastise me when I do something stupid. James is always doing those stupid things with me."

I looked at his face and scooted closer to him. His fingers interlaced mine. "You really love him," I whispered.

"So tell me something. How's it you don't have a boyfriend?"

I laughed. "Right one just hasn't come along I guess." Sirius nodded his head. "How's it you're never single."

Sirius laughed quietly. "It's funny, even with these girls, I feel single. They're just there for one thing."

"Ew," I whispered as Sirius laughed.

"What say you and me start-"

"What? Dating?" I said incredulously as I turned to face Sirius. "I am not those type of girls."

"I know, I know." Sirius pulled me back to him and kissed me. "That's exactly why I want to date you."

I swallowed hard. He was actually being serious, no pun intended. Had I finally died and gone to heaven? Oh Merlin, tell me this wasn't a dream. This was what I had wished for since I even knew someone like Sirius Black existed.

"What's your answer?"

I took a deep breath and smiled. "Yes,"

Sirius grinned and kissed me again. "Ha, knew I'd get you."

I rolled my eyes. "I can still change my mind you know."

"Yes but you won't."

"Cocky prat,"

"Crazy wench."
