Chapter 10: Please Forgive Me
Unsurprisingly, the news of Sirius and May's relationship spread around the school like fiendfyre. Sirius was doing everything to get May to forgive him 100% as he could tell that she was being careful around him. He had hurt her when she caught him in bed with Katie, who was definitely no longer her friend, but she was slowly warming to him. To help her progress in their public relationship, he showered her with affection. A few times he sent her a bunch of her favourite flowers; Forget-me-nots, at breakfast and then he sent her over a hundred Forget-me-not flowers to her during her Transfiguration lesson. But the delivery cost him and May a detention.
James was being very cautious. He would not allow them to be alone and he certainly did not let Sirius be alone with Katie, who was still sour about May and Sirius being together. James was just being a good friend and a protective brother.
Sirius understood why May did not spend all her time with him. She didn't because he had to study for his O.W.Ls, which he wasn't doing, and she wanted to be completely careful. The one thing she was not doing to keep herself safe was not falling for him completely and not to have sex with him. May hadn't told him this but she knew that he had a good idea why. Their affections were settled on kisses in the Common Room, holding hands between classes and hugs at meal times.
Lily was the only one who was wary of their relationship. She didn't understand why May let him back into her life so quickly. Every time she tried to talk to May, there was always someone there. Not necessarily just Sirius, sometimes it was James or Remus or Hannah. Lily wanted to talk to May alone but it was always impossible.
The day before Valentine's Day, Lily finally had May alone. She found her in the library reading alone. “Hello May.” Lily smiled softly as she sat next to May.
May looked up for a moment and smiled at Lily before returning to her book. “Two minutes and you will have my undivided attention.” She sat in silence as she finished the page of her book and when she did, she closed the book, bookmarking it. “Hello Lily.” She smiled and chuckled softly. “Was there something you wanted? Is James annoying you again?”
“Yes and yes.” Laughing lightly as she tucked a strand of her red hair behind her ear. “It's nothing to do with James. It's about you and Sirius actually.” Biting her lower lip as she looked away from May for amount. “Are you sure about it? Katie told me about what had happened.”
“Don't Lily. I haven't forgiven him 100% but I'm slowly getting there. Please don't judge me for forgiving him so soon.” May looked at Lily with a pleading look. “I haven't forgiven him. He really hurt me Lily but I knew that I would go back to him eventually and I thought if I knew that I was with him, he wouldn't jump into bed with another girl.” She frowned and shook her head. “It's stupid I know but I love him Lily.” Chuckling nervously. “If he does something like that again, I will curse him into next year and James will do it too.”
“I hope so May. I don't want you to get hurt by him. I've seen girls in my year, who have been with him and have been hurt badly. I see you as a friend and I don't want you getting hurt because of him.” Lily gave a heavy sigh and stood up. “I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to. Please be careful May.” Giving a long sigh and walking away and out of the library.
May did not return to her book but she sat silently, thinking about what Lily said. Lily was right, Sirius was seen as a player and went from girl to girl. Was she just another girl? “Am I just another girl to him?”
“Probably.” A voice sneered from behind a bookcase. “Black only loves himself.” Severus Snape stepped out from the shadows.
“What do you want Snape?” May groaned as she picked up her book. “Following Lily again?” Opening the book at the page.
“No. Just overheard the pair of you.” Barely showing any emotion as he sat opposite her. “I would be careful of Black. He is a boy who loves himself more than anyone else.” Tilting his head to read the title of her book. “Sense and Sensibility? You need that if you are in a relationship with Black.”
“Oh go away! Leave me alone!” Trying her best to ignore him but with him sitting opposite her, it was hard for her to ignore him. “Go away Snape!” She growled at him as she bookmarked her book, closing it and putting it in her bag. “Fine! If you won't go, then I will.” Standing up and not looking at him.
“He will hurt you again.” Severus stood up too. “Don't ignore my warnings Potter. He will hurt you again.” Moving away from her and back behind a bookcase.
This frustrated May, so she followed him. “Why do you care? I'm James' sister and you hate him. Therefore you hate me.” Shaking her head as she followed him between the tall bookcases, ducking when a book was put back in its place magically. “Why?”
“I just am, Potter.” Turning around and facing her. “I actually feel sorry for you. I don't know why you forgave him so soon.” Walking away from her, leaving her in shock that he had actually admitted that he felt sorry for their relationship.
May slowly turned around and began to walk towards the exit of the library. What Snape had said was going around in her head. Could she properly trust Sirius again? She shifted her bag onto her opposite shoulder as she walked back to the Gryffindor Tower. At the end of the school day, May liked to go to the library to start or finish her homework and finish with a read of a book. She spent time away from Sirius and it was good for both of them. She didn't miss him like she used to miss him when they were secretly together.
She dragged her feet as she walked up the many flights of stairs to the 7th Floor. Her mind was racing at the possibilities of her being another girl that Sirius had charmed. She couldn't be, he told her that he loved her. But was that what he told all the other girls? Did he tell them that he loved them so he could get into bed with them? Sighing heavily as she reached the portrait and gave the password. Silently she walked inside, into the Common Room where she was met with the sight of James and Lily having their daily argument. May laughed lightly as she moved through the crowd and up to the girls' dormitories.
Sitting on her bed was Katie, trying to open her diary. “What are you doing?!” May shouted at her and charged at her. “That's my diary!” Standing in front of her.
“I know!” Katie glared at May and threw her diary on the floor. “I want to know everything! You stole Sirius away from me!” Standing up straight, being a few inches away from May's face. “He was mine!”
“He was with me you stupid bitch!” May screamed at her and went to bend down to pick up her diary but felt a hand pull her hair and throw her backwards onto the floor. “Ah!” She cried out and tried to pry her hair out of Katie's grip. “Let go of me you cow!”
“No!” She screamed at May. “I want Sirius!”
Finally May was able to get out of Katie's grip. “Is this what it's about? Sirius?” Standing up, tears building up in her eyes. “You are a complete bitch! Grow up!” Storming out of the room but Katie followed her.
“Me to grow up? You need to grow up, Potter. Stealing someone's boyfriend for yourself!” She shouted at May, even when they reached the Common Room, which was now silent to listen to Katie and May's argument. “Did you know that someone was with your precious Joshua before you snagged him for yourself?”
“What?” May gasped softly in disbelief. “Where the hell did you get that idea from?” Standing in the middle of the Common Room with her arms folded across her chest.
“He told me.” She smirked. “He told me when you walked out on your date, when you wouldn't sleep with him.” May stood in silence as she looked at the ground in embarrassment because everyone in the room was listening. “You are such a prude. No wonder Sirius jumped at the chance to get into bed with me.”
May's hand curled into a fist and she quickly lifted, pulled back and thrust forward, hitting Katie square on the nose. Katie cried out in pain, holding her nose and May cradled her hand, shaking it to rid the ache. “If I'm such a prude and then you must be a slut. Sleeping with a girl's boyfriend when she is away for the holidays.”
“What is going on here?!” The stern voice of their Head of Year was heard from behind May. “Miss Potter, my office now! Miss Griffiths, take Miss Smith to the Hospital Wing.” Speaking to Hannah, who lead Katie out of the Common Room. May gritted her teeth, glanced at Sirius, who was staring at her in shock. She then looked at James, who was trying his best not to laugh and also not to throw a punch at Sirius.
May stormed out of the Common Room and straight to McGonagall's office. She gritted her teeth as she stood in front of the desk waiting for the stern Scottish teacher to come into her office. She knew that she shouldn't have hit Katie but the girl deserved it. She jumped slightly when the teacher walked into the room. “Professor... Please let me explain...”
“Sit down Miss Potter.” Professor McGonagall spoke sternly and walked around the desk to her chair, sitting down. May slowly sat down in the chair opposite the teacher. “I am disappointed in you Miss Potter.”
“Sorry Professor.” May spoke quietly as she looked down at her hands. “It is just...”
“Wait!” She raised her hand to silence May. “I do not understand why you would hit one of your classmates even if she did provoke you.” Sighing heavily and taking her glasses off and placing them on the table. “May, I have known your family for years and I met you when you were only 3 weeks old.” May chuckled softly as she looked up at her. “I've seen you growing up and all the times I met you, you were never a violent child. Only when you were fighting with James but you never hit him.”
“I am truly sorry Professor but Katie did provoke me.” May kept her gaze on her Transfiguration teacher. “As you probably know, Sirius and I are in a relationship.”
“Yes I heard the rumour.” Nodding slowly as she sat up straight in the chair, watching May as her student fidgeted in her seat nervously.
“Well, before we told everyone, the day I came back to school, I caught Sirius and Kate in compromising position.” May blushed softly. “I forgave him but Katie seems to think I stole him from her.”
“Yes May but what I don't understand is why you hit her today.” Sighing heavily as she closed her eyes for a moment and finally opened them, settling them on May. “Continue, Miss Potter.”
“For a while, Katie and I have been avoiding each other but when I went into our dormitory, she was there trying to open my diary.” May growled as she spoke about the incident. “I confronted her, it got heated. She told me a lie, well I hope it is a lie, and I snapped. I punched her.” Giving a broken sigh as she felt the tears begin to build up in her eyes. May closed her eyes to stop the tears from escaping. “I just wish she would leave me alone.”
“Would you like to move dormitories?” Asking politely. “This is not a reward but part of your punishment.” Standing up and walking around the desk. “You will be moving into the 5th year girl's dormitory and also 2 months worth of detention with me.”
“Yes Professor.” May nodded slowly, keeping her gaze on her hands. “I really am sorry.”
“Of course May. Go back to the Common Room. I think your brother is waiting to either congratulate you or scold you. I am not entirely sure.” Giving a rare but weak smile to May. “Come on. Off you go. Miss Smith will be here soon and I don't think you wish to confront her.”
“No Professor.” May chuckled softly as she stood up. “Thank you Professor.” Walking towards the office door.
“You can move into the 5th year girls room as soon as you are packed. There is a spare bed in there. Miss Evans will be more than happy to help you pack and transfer your things into the dormitory. Miss Potter, this move is only temporary.” Raising an eyebrow as May opened the door, stood in the doorway as her Professor spoke. “Until the end of the school year and then you will be with your original dormitory again in the new year and I will send you an owl to when you start your detention.”
“Yes Professor. Thank you.” Giving her a small smile and left the office, making the walk to the Common Room. She wiped away the now escaping tears and pushed her hair back behind her shoulder. Now that her hair had grown long, now reaching the middle of her back, it was nearly impossible to maintain but she liked it that way. As she reached the portrait of the Fat Lady, she found Sirius waiting outside for her. “Hi.” She spoke softly as she approached him.
“How's your hand?” He asked her softly, reaching for her right hand, the one she punched Katie with. “That was one hell of a right hook.” Kissing her knuckles softly.
May pulled her hand out of his grip. “Still sore but I will live.” Giving him a timid smile. “I need to pack. I'm moving into the 5th year girl's dormitory until the end of the year. McGonagall wants to keep me and Katie separated.” She gave a heavy sigh as he stepped forward. “Uh... Come on. Let's go inside.”
“What's wrong?” He stepped in front of her. “This is the first time we are able to talk without anyone listening to us.” Chuckling softly as he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer but she pulled away. “What's wrong?”
“Nothing... I just want to know that I will always be able to trust you.” Giving another heavy sigh as she looked away from him. “I love you but everything I hear about you makes me think that I don't know if I can trust you.”
“What? Where the hell did this come from?” Stepping back and frowning at her. “Did Katie say it?”
“Of course she did.” May closed her eyes to calm herself down. “But it's just all the rumours I hear. They are making me think twice about this relationship.”
“What?” Sirius gasped and furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at her in confusion. “May, I'm confused. What are you on about?” Moving away from the Fat Lady's portrait, out of earshot of the painting. “Are you saying that we shouldn't be together?”
“No! No, I'm not saying that. I say that we should just have a short break from each other.” Avoiding his gaze.
“No!” He shook his head quickly and ran a hand through his shaggy locks. “Stop listening to the rumours. It will push us apart even more.”
“It's pushing us apart now, Sirius!” She spoke impatiently as she felt the tears begin to fall again. “People have told me things about girls you have kissed or slept with. You just drop them when you are satisfied. Are you going to do that to me?”
“No!” He spun around to face her. “I love you May! I was an idiot when I let what happened with Katie happen but I do love you.” Stepping closer to her, cupping her face with both of his hands. “I love you. I love you.” He whispered as he pressed his lips against her own.
May melted for a moment but found the strength to push him away. “No! Stop it! Listen, please.” She pleaded with him. “I say a short break. I want to have this time apart to see if either of us have the strength to stay away from temptation.”
“You mean me to stay away from temptation.” Sighing heavily. “No, I won't give you up. Even for a short time.” He held onto her upper arms. “Please May!” He begged her. “Don't leave me.” Kissing her again. “Please!”
“Two weeks. How does that sound?” May whispered as he pressed his forehead against her own. “We both need this Sirius.” The tears continuing to fall. “I need this.” Lifting her hand and tangle her fingers in his hair. “I love you but I feel like we spend too much time together, even with James and others around us. I need to be with my friends more often.”
“May... Don't...” He kissed her softly turning it passionately. He pulled away, resting his forehead against hers again. “Please...”
“Two weeks will fly by.” She giggled nervously as she closed her eyes and enjoyed being close to him. “I will be waiting but if I hear one rumour about you being with another girl and I will definitely not take you back.” She whispered softly as she stood back from him, running her hands down his arms.
“I promise you that I will never be with another girl and there will be no rumours as I will give no one the chance to.” He held her hands when her hands reached his. “I promise. I will never hurt you again.”
“You better not or Jamie will kill you.” She chuckled nervously as he lead her to the Fat Lady Portrait. “Be good. I will speak to you for two weeks but just not kissing you and stuff.”
“That I will miss. Your kisses.” He chuckled. “One last kiss?” As they reached the portrait.
“Of course.” She smiled and kissed him softly. “Meet here in two weeks for the second kiss?” Smiling gently. Sirius chuckled and nodded as he leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose. “Not there. I hate that.”
“I love your nose.” Kissing it again. “Sorry.” Laughing lightly and he leaned down and gently kissed her lips, lingering for a while. “I love you.” He whispered as he kissed her again, pulling her closer to him. Once he pulled away, May held onto him for a moment and then she let him go. “You see, you don't want to let go.” He whispered, as he pressed his forehead against hers once again.
“Back here in two weeks.” May whispered as she stepped back from him. “I promise I will be waiting.” She chuckled nervously. “Butter Fingers.” Saying the password to the Fat Lady, who had been listening intently to the couple's long talk, and swung forward to let the young couple walk in. Once May and Sirius were inside, they parted ways; Sirius went to the Marauders and remained silent. May went to her dormitory and began packing her trunk in silence before the tears finally began to fall. She sat on the floor, next to her trunk just sobbing. Her heart was breaking. She is in pain. In her heart, this felt like it was the end of their relationship.
The door opened and Lily walked in to find May on the floor sobbing. “Oh May. What happened?” The red head knelt next to May and pulled her into a hug. “Are you okay?” Rubbing her back in slow circles.
“I think.... No... I know, I just broke up with Sirius.” Sobbing into Lily's shoulder, tears staining Lily's school cardigan. “For two weeks.” Laughing softly but returned to sobbing. “I don't know why but I just did.”
Lily pushed May back a little to see her properly. “Come on. Let's take you and your things to my dormitory and we will talk about this.” Standing up and holding her hands out to May. “Come on. Katie will be back soon and I don't think you want to be here when she does.”
“No.” May said nervously as she took Lily's hands and stood up. “I'm ready.” Closing her trunk and locking it.
Lily took out her wand. “Wingardium Leviosa.” Waving her wand over May's trunk. Slowly it rose in the air. “Come on.” Guiding May out of the dormitory and up the stairs to the 5th year girls room. Lily lowered the trunk to the nearest free bed, that was the closest to the door. “This is your bed.” Lily smiled and sat on the bed next to May's new bed. “This is my bed. Maggie's bed is by the window, Sophia is by next to Maggie's and Alice's bed is next to Sophia's.” Smiling gently as the ebony hair girl sat on her new bed. “Right, spill the beans. Tell me everything.”
May wiped her silent tears away and looked away from Lily. “After I was sent to Mcgonagall's, I met with Sirius afterwards. We talked and I told him that I didn't fully trust him and thought that a short break might be best for us both.” Biting her lower lip as the tears began to fall again. “I feel like I shouldn't have broken up with him.” Covering her mouth as she began to sob. “It was something Snape said to me.”
“Snape? You mean Severus?” Lily questioned as she leaned forward slightly as she listened to her. “What did he say to you? And when did he speak to you?”
“After you left me in the library. He said that Sirius would do it again to me. That he would hurt me.” May sobbed into her hand again.
Lily stood up quickly and sat next to May, wrapping her arm around her. “Shhh... shhh... It's okay. He wouldn't do that to you. He loves May. I've seen the way he is with you and it seems like he cannot keep you out of his sights.” May gave a nervous laugh as she thought about it. Lily was right, when they weren't even public about their relationship, Sirius was constantly watching her. “Just let the two weeks go by and you two will be back together soon.” Hugging May. “You want to stay here or come down to the Common Room?”
May smiled a little. “I think I'll stay up here.” Giving a heavy sigh. “I don't think I can face anyone right now.”
“Okay.” Lily smiled and gave her a hug. “I'll be there if you need me.” Pulling away and standing up. “It will be fine May.” Smiling to her before she left the room.
May sat on her new bed for a moment, just sitting in silence, thinking about the recent events. Deep down in her heart, she would never trust Sirius again but she cared too much for him to lose the trust. She loved him but not as much as she used to.
