Hi, I have come out of retirement sort of to put up some new story which I found whilst sorting through some old files in my old laptop database. I wrote it around three years ago so its not exactly the sort of thing I would write now, but reading through it I thought it would be a waste if I didn't put it up so I am going to post it and add more to it as I only wrote three chapter to it when I first wrote it. Hope you enjoy. I will try and add something to some of my other older stories as well but not promising anything. I will post what I have written so far for this story which is four chapter. Feedback always appreciated as I like to know people are reading it. xoxox
Chapter One
In the Beginning
Kate Laurent stormed down the path leading away from the castle in a huff of frustration and anger. Her vibrant dark chestnut hair flew behind her joined with her robes as she rushed away from the ancient building. Her face scarlet with anger she could barely contain herself from throwing a full on childish hissy fit, stamping of feet and all. The reason for her unearthly anger was for one reason, or person, only. Sirius Black. Only he knew how to rub her exactly the wrong way. He would find something to annoy her with and then he would push and push and push until she was over the edge and bit back, which is exactly what he wanted. Just for a little attention, he would always say he wanted from her. He claimed a school boy crush on her and also said that it would be simply solved with a date with her. She of course refused everything and so his torturing of her increased everytime she said "no", "never", "hell no", "not in a million years", or her favourite, "not even if hell froze over... twice". This weeks cruel berating of her involved him teasing her unmercilessly about a 'crush' he suspected she had on a ravenclaw boy called Steven Grant. Everytime she and Steven were in the same corridor, classroom or even the main hall Sirius would declare to the entire world around that Kate was blushing, or ask people if they saw the 'glanting looks' Kate was throwing at the Ravenclaw quidditch captain. Steven Grant was in fact a very handsome boy, and Kate did in fact have a crush on him, and for Sirius to know this astounded her for she had only ever written her secret in her diary, she had not even voiced her secret lusting to her best friend Lily.
Now you must know, Kate was an unusually bright girl, but it had taken her five whole days to realise how Sirius had found out her secret and when she did discover how, or at least partly how she lost every patience she held whenever Black was around and snapped like an elastic band stretched to its peak.
"How did you do it?" Kate demanded as she grabbed Sirius by his collors and shoved against the wall. She was unusually strong Sirius found as he struggled a little then he let her push him and he smirked.
"I never realised you liked it rough Laurent. If I had known we could have played this game before." Sirius said smart mouthed and loud so anyone down the charms corridor, which they were in, could hear also. A couple of third year girls giggled stupidly and Sirius grinned charmingly at them making the girls giggled and run away blushing terribly.
"I know what you did, I don't know how you did it. Now tell me before I hex your balls into peas and your dick into a carrot." Kate said angrily her voice barely above a whisper.
"I have no clue what you are talking about beautiful, but if you want to take this fun rough act to somewhere quieter I promise to let you spank me." Sirius said lowering his voice to and putting his arms on her waist. She stamped on his foot harshly and received a wince from him that made her smile evilly.
"My diary. You read it. I want to know how, when, and what it will take, whether that means killing you and hiding the body, to make you shut up." Kate said her blood pressure pumping everytime she thought about Black reading her every personnel thought.
"I didn't read your diary, but I guess that means your little crush on Grant is true. Maybe I am just an amazing guesser." Sirius said pulling the innocent act.
"Don't fuck with me Black I know you did it. I just want to know how." Kate said shaking his collor a little bit. Sirius raised an eyebrow and removed her hands from his collor and straightening it a little.
"I think you will find a magician never reveals his secrets and neither will I. I just hope, that your ever lasting lonliness will somehow cease and let you live a life of love and happiness," Sirius said dramatically, he smirked then he sprinted off to catch up to his friends who had left him when the scene had started off. Kate just swore loudly. He had just quoted a line out of one of the lamest poems she had written about a year ago in her diary, when she was in her 'deep' faze. She wanted to kill him.
Now she was stomping around the grounds screaming and huffing alone, she felt pathetic but she felt so angry that she didn't care anymore. Her diary was still in her room so she knew he didn't have it but either way she knew he had read it. She sat and collected herself for a while. She had fully missed her charms lesson now but no doubt they didn't miss her. She often skipped charms as she found it fairly dull and overly complicated. She sat on a big rock crossed legged thinking of ways to get back at Sirius. Nothing came to mind though. She didn't want to punish him so much, she wasn't actually that viscious whatever her temper made you think, but she did want to show Black how much he had hurt her. She couldn't think though so just instead sat there. She heard someone come up behind her and turned and saw it was Remus. Although he was best friends with Sirius he was also best friends with Kate. Remus sat down beside her and crossed his legs also and looked out onto the view of the lake they had from their spot.
"So he totally crossed the line this time huh?" Remus asked.
"Yep." Kate replied simply.
"Anything I can say to make it better?" He asked.
"Nope," Kate said. "Just sit with me." She added. She leaned her head on his shoulder and they simply sat for a while. They had never had a romantic connection but were always very close. Remus always knew how to calm Kate down and Kate always did her best to comfort Remus at his monthly transformations into a werewolf. They had been best friends since they were around five years old, she was one of the few people to know him before he was bitten by a werewolf. When Remus made friends with the marauders and became one himself Kate was annoyed as she hated Sirius from the first time of meeting him, but Remus told her she was his best friend and nothing would change that. Kate loved him like a brother and the same love was returned.
Eventually six o'clock rolled around and they headed for dinner. They took their places at the table, Remus sat with Kate but in doing this the marauders came with him. Lily Evans, Kate's best girl friend came aswell taking her place on the other side of Kate. Lily was dating James Potter the leader of the marauders, to Kate's disgust, so James sat across from Lily. Sirius, bravely, sat across from Kate. He looked kind of different from earlier. Less cocky, he sat quietly. Kate looked down to her plate and there was a note. Kate looked around. No one was paying attention so she subtly opened to note. It was a small piece of parchment with only a couple words on it.
Sorry, from SBxx
Simple, yet the meaning was obvious. Kate looked up and saw Sirius with a mouth full of food, she rolled her eyes. He swallowed and looked apologetic, he mouthed sorry to make his point a little more. She simply shrugged and starting serving food. It was hard having your friends be friends with your ultimate enemy, and pain in your ass. But at times Sirius was alright. But after what he had done that week she was in no mood to forgive him so easily. The meal continued and Kate chatted with Lily about what she had missed in charms.
"You will never get better if you keep skipping classes Kate," Lily insisted in her classic motherly way.
"Yeah I know I know. Maybe I should get a tutor. Who is the best as charms in our class? Apart from you and James obviously, either of you two tutoring me would probably drive me crazy." Kate said jokingly.
"Hey!" Lily and James said simultaneously, James however sprayed his mouth full of mashed potato everywhere as he did it causes everyone around to groan and wipe his half chewed food off them. He just grinned mischievously and shrugged like a naughty boy, which he was really.
"Well I don't know who is next in line after us, you will have to ask the professor, I am sure he would be glad you back in class a bit more consistently." Lily said happy to help as always.
"Yeah I will do that. Only if it will get miss goody two shoes off my back for a little while," Kate said smirking.
"Hey!" Lily said again shoving Kate in the shoulder. Kate just laughed and carried on eating. Lily was in fact how Kate described, a goody two shoes. She had become headgirl, along with her boyfriend James. It was now the spring term of their seventh year, Lily and James had only gotten together because they were living together in the heads common room. Kate was happy for her friend, though it wasn't always a good thing for Kate. For Lily had kind of been in the same situation at Kate and Sirius were now in. A tirade of arguments and fights about petty things James had done to annoy Lily. James had however had grown up this year as he was determined to win Lily's heart, and Sirius, hadn't. It did mean Kate had to spend more time with Sirius though, she had always had to see him due to his friendship with Remus, but now her other best friend was going out with Sirius best friend it left little time for Kate to be away from Sirius.
The next day Kate took Lily's advice and went to her professor, professor flitwick was him name, a short dwarf like man with a cheery attitude. Kate walked into his office after knocking and him beckoning her in.
"Hello sir. I was wondering if I could possibly talk to you something." Kate asked politely.
"Of course, of course. Its nice to see you miss Laurent. Its been what three lessons since I last saw you." Flitwick said looking at her over his glasses. Kate blushed guiltily.
"Actually sir that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I was wondering if you could possibly help me get a tutor. I know Lily and James are too busy with head duties so I wanted to know who was third after them in charms." Kate said. Flitwick nodded and went over and fetched a parchment.
"Well this is an updated chart of the pupils grades. At the moment Miss Evans and Mr Potter take second and third place to another surprisingly." Flitwick said.
"Okay, well I will get them to tutor me. Who is it? I will literally take any help I can get at the moment." Kate said.
"Well I am not sure..." Flitwick said.
"Seriously anyone will do." Kate begged.
"Well its Sirius Black." Flitwick said.
"….Seriously?"
