Chapter 17: Don't Keep Me In The Dark

Sirius felt like a right idiot. He had caused an argument with May because he wasn't happy with Regulus' situation. He caught him in the library with paper clippings about the latest dangers from the rising Death Eaters. Their argument resulted in them being thrown from the library and an evening's detention. Thankfully there was no one in the library to spread the gossip of their fight and it would not reach May and any other ears. He should not have taken it out on May. That wasn't right.

James had noticed Sirius' distance from everyone and waited until the common room was empty to confront his silent friend. As always, the common room was left with just the Marauders at the end of the day. “Right, spit it out Pads. Something is bothering you.” James sat back in the comfortable chair and watched his best friend stare into the fire. “Sirius?”

“It's complicated.” Sirius sighed heavily, avoiding their questioning gazes but he continued on. “Before I ran away to your home Prongs. I found newspaper clippings about the rising of the dark wizard in Reg's room.” He gave another heavy sigh and ran his hand through his head. “There wasn't just a few clippings but over a hundred. I caught him in the library with more newspaper clippings. Newer ones. I think he will do something stupid.”

“Don't think the worst, Pads.” Remus said comfortingly. “It may just be a fascination but he may not even join them. He is too young as it is.” Glancing at his watch. “I'm going to bed. Full moon next week. I need my rest.” Sighing heavily. He hated the burden of his condition but now that his 3 best friends were able to join him and lessen the pain for him. “Good night.” He turned around and saw May at the bottom of the stairs. Remus gave her a small smile and looked over his shoulder at Sirius. “Oh and Padfoot. You owe someone an apology.”

Sirius turned around to see who the person was but he had a good idea who she was. “May.” Standing up to walk over to her. Remus disappeared up the stairs to the boys' dormitories while the other two watched Sirius stand in front of an angry looking May. “Baby.”

“Don't 'baby' me!” She glared at him with her arms folded. “You are so ignorant and selfish Sirius Black! I have the right idea to jinx your behind into the next century!” Her glare focused on him as her angry insults flowed from her. “You brushed me off today when you perfectly well know that we have barely seen each other since the train ride here!” Taking a step towards him, her glare seemed permanently set. “What have you got to say for yourself?!”

“I'm sorry.” He spoke softly, his grey eyes pleaded with her own. He reached his hands out and placed them gently on her shoulders but she shrugged him away, continuing to glare at him and waited for him to continue on with his apologies. “May, I am sorry! I was worrying about someone and I was not in the moment when I was with you.” May remained silent in front of him. “Bloody hell May! Say something!”

May gave a small sigh, letting her guard down and her anger disappear. She gave a quick glance over Sirius' shoulder. James and Peter were still watching them. “Don't keep hiding things from me.” Returning her attention to Sirius. “I can't be kept in the dark about things all the time. It won't do our relationship any good.” Raising her hand and cupping his cheek gently. “Don't keep me in the dark.”

Her boyfriend gave her a grin and leant forward to kiss her but she moved back. “What? What did I do wrong this time?” Sighing heavily in a joking manner, causing May to giggle. “I am truly sorry May.” Giving her a joking pout, causing her to laugh softly. “Forgive me?” May nodded silently and took a step towards him. Sirius grinned slightly as he wrapped his arms her waist, pulling her close to him and passionately pressing his lips against her own. They soon forgot about James and Peter. James immediately turned away from them. Not really wanting to watch his little sister kissing his best friend.

Even though the two of them had reconciled May and Sirius still had the occasional argument but not as heated as James and Lily's daily arguments. Every time James asked Lily out or to accompany him to Hogsmeade but she would say no and it would turn into a large argument, which would make every person cower out of the way. No one wanted to be caught in the middle of Lily Evans' fury. The only person who would not cower away from Lily was: James. He told the Marauders that it made him fall in love with her more and more.

James would be the only one smiling when he walked away from his daily arguments with Lily. He would just be glad that Lily was acknowledging him rather than her usual ignoring him. After every argument, Lily would complain to her friends about James is large ego. James would laugh at the absurdness of the argument but revelled in Lily actually talking to him.

As for Sirius and May's arguments, they were about little things. The main reason was May's constant prefect rounds and having barely any time to spend time with Sirius. She argued with him that she would be able to spend more time with him when Quidditch practice started again but the argument escalated when he continued to keep her in the dark about what was worrying him.

“Bloody hell May! We will not spend any time together in practice!” Sirius spoke angrily as the two walked down to the Quidditch pitch for the trials for the new Keeper. James had walked ahead to get away from their argument and to set up the trials. “You know that we barely talk because you're a chaser and I'm a beater! We train separately at first and secondly, I'm chasing a different ball to you. I doubt we would find time between me hitting bludgers and you throwing the quaffle about.”

“Grow up Sirius!” May groaned and stormed ahead of him, not wanting to hear anything from him any longer.

But Sirius followed her, pulling her to a stop by gently reaching for her hand. “You need to listen to me!”

“I am not going to listen to you if you are going to be acting like a crazy person.” May pulled her hand out of his grip. “I'm not going to argue with you either. We can talk after practice.” Moving away from him quickly before he could say anything else or do anything else.

“May!” Sirius called after her but she ignored him when she moved into the changing rooms of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He soon gave up trying to talk to her as she was being stubborn and ignoring him completely.

With the trials and practice over, Sirius was trying his best to get May alone but James was doing his best to gain Sirius' attention. The two best friends were the first to leave the changing rooms to return to the Common Room. May growled in frustration as she finished dressing and stormed back to the castle. The others stood back to let her pass. When May was on a rampage it was best to stay out of the way. Like James, she had a bad temper and if you were at the receiving end of it you were most likely to be hexed into the next century.

May stormed into the castle and made her way up the many staircases to the seventh floor. She didn't need all the stress with having a boyfriend on top of her O.W.L's and prefect duties. She loved Sirius but she needed him to understand that they could not be together 24/7. She wished they could be together whenever they were both free but their free time was becoming less and less and it was hurting their relationship.

When she moved into the Common Room, she couldn't see Sirius or any of the Marauders. In the corner of the Common Room she found Hannah with her new boyfriend; Harvey Carson. Suddenly May felt very alone. She realised that she was dependent on the company of others. Giving a heavy sigh, she slowly moved through the small gathering of Gryffindors and made her way to the girls' dormitories.

“There has to be an explanation.” She muttered to herself when she entered the room and searched for her books to begin her homework. Once she found her transfiguration book, she made her way to the common room to study and to keep a look out for Sirius. She needed to talk to him. He was being an idiot and she needed to know the truth behind it.

She sat in the corner of the common room with a good view of the entrance to the common room. Once she began working on her essay, she didn't raise her head and she didn't stop writing her essay until she felt a hand on her shoulder. The hand gave a gentle squeeze and she turned to face the owner of the hand. “You in a better mood now?” May asked Sirius, who sat next to her. She placed her quill in the ink pot, placing her hands on her parchment in front of her and continued to watch him.

Sirius moved his chair closer to her and rested his hand on her knee. “I'm sorry about the other day in the Room of Requirement but I'm worried about something. Rather worried about someone.” His grey eyes bore into her hazel eyes for a moment before he glanced around them and lowered his voice as he spoke. “I'm worried about Reg. When I was at home in the summer, I went in his room to try and get a quill and ink to write to you. Before I was caught, I found newspaper clippings about the rise of the Wizard. Voldemort. There weren't a few pieces but over a hundred. I'm scared of what will happen to him next.”

May rested her hand over his own. “It will be okay.” Squeezing his hand gently, trying to give him comfort. “Do you want me to talk to him for you? I can give it a try.” Sirius shook his head and turned his hand to be able to hold her hand. “It's worth a try. Why don't you talk to him?”

“I wouldn't know where to start.” He turned his head and looked down at her work. “As kids, Reg and I were best friends but when I was sorted into Gryffindor our parents forced us apart. They didn't want their precious Regulus to be corrupted like me.” Grinning sheepishly as he turned his gaze back to his girlfriend, who was listening to him intently. “My parents are probably encouraging him. You know what they are like with their pureblood beliefs. They are most likely telling him to join Voldemort.”

May gave his hand a comforting squeeze. “Talk to him.” Her free hand cupping his cheek and turning him to face her. “You may find that he is just interested in Voldemort and has no interest to join him. It might just be a misunderstanding.” Giving him a comforting smile. “Don't jump to conclusions as they could be wrong.”

Sirius finally returned her smile with his own small smile before leaning forward and kissing her softly. “I'm sorry again. I have now learnt not to keep my worries from you or I feel your anger.” Laughing softly as she placed a kiss on his lips. When she pulled away from him, he just looked at her and chuckled. “Shut up Sirius?”

She nodded slowly, stood up and sat in his lap. “Shut up Sirius.” Kissing him firmly before he could speak again. He only chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.

“Miss Potter! Please remove yourself from Mr Black!” McGonagall's shrill voice entered their consciousness. May pulled away from Sirius and tried to remove herself from Sirius' lap but he held her tighter and she gave up fighting to climb off his lap. The Head of Gryffindor ignored them both and began to address all of the Gryffindors there. “Now, I have been asked to announce it this early but Professor Dumbledore thought it best to give everyone time to plan.” She gave a roll of her eyes as the girls began talking excitedly to each other. “The school is hosting a New Years ball for you this year.”

May looked at Sirius and chuckled. “So a big birthday party for me.” She laughed softly as he held her closer.

Sirius smiled and kissed her neck gently. “With the entire school there to celebrate it with you.” Caressing her neck with light kisses.

“Mr Black!” McGonagall shouted at Sirius. “Miss Potter would kindly get off Mr Black's lap and find your own seat.” May blushed lightly as she stood up and sat in her previous seat. “Now. Only fifth year students and above are able to attend but if a student in one of those years invites a younger member of the school, they are allowed to attend.” She nodded a little and then left the Common Room. Within moments of her leaving the room, talks erupted from every person in the room.

May turned to face Sirius. “You got something to ask me?” Raising an eyebrow with a cheeky grin spread across her lips.

“Do I?” He asked innocently and sat back in his chair, watching May. “I'm not sure that I do.” Smirking broadly and rolled his eyes a little. “I am only joking.” Leaning forward and taking her hand in his. “Will go to the New Year dance with me?”

She smiled gently and nodded whilst biting her lower lip. “Yes I will. I would love to.” Standing up and sitting in his lap again. “Hi.” She giggled when he wrapped his arms around her. Their noses touched for a moment before May tilted her head and pressed her lips against his. His hand ran up her back until he reached the back of her head and held her to his lips, not wanting to part from her.

“Pads! Put my sister down and the pair of you get over here.” James called to them both from the sofas by the fireplace. “We need to talk.” May looked down at Sirius and the pair rolled their eyes before standing up and making their way over to the other Marauders. The two sat on the sofa with Sirius wrapping his arm around May's shoulder. James just rolled his eyes at the pair of them before speaking again. “Right. We need to try and get Lily to go to the dance with me.”

May scoffed. “James let it go! She doesn't like you and I doubt she will go to the ball with you.” Laughing along with Remus, who was chuckling quietly in the big armchair. “Just ask someone else.” Leaning into Sirius' embrace with her hand resting on his leg. “Or you could ask Lily first and if she turns you down, then ask someone else. Only ask Lily once.”

Sirius chuckled softly. “I agree with May.”

“You're only agreeing with her because she's your girlfriend.” James sulked into his own armchair. “Fine! I will ask her once and if she says 'no' then I won't go.” His arms folded across his chest as he leant back into the comfort of the chair.

“Oh don't be so stubborn James!” May groaned as she spoke to him. “Just be polite and don't call her by her last name.”

“Yes mum(!)” He said sarcastically and quickly glanced around the room to search for Lily.

“She's on prefect duty until 7.” Remus spoke James' unanswered question. “I'd wait until tomorrow. You know how grumpy she gets when she has prefect duties.” Chuckling softly. “Or is that just May?”

“Oi!” May jokingly growled towards him. “You know I hate late evening patrolling.” Resting her head in the crook of Sirius' shoulder and he pulled her tighter into his side. “Ugh! I just realised that all the girls are going to be flocking to the dress shop in Hogsmeade on the next trip. I want to get my dress before all the good ones are gone.”

“You could ask mum to send one of yours from home or to get you one in Diagon Alley and send it over.” James suggested but May just shrugged her shoulders. “What's the matter May?”

“Nothing.” Grinning to her brother. “Just thinking.” Turning her gaze to the fire. “Just really tired.” May relaxed in the comfort of Sirius' arms and the company of her brother and friends. The problem of Regulus was still troubling her but she did not want to admit it to Sirius nor her brother. For the rest of the evening, they spent it talking and laughing. May was the first to announce that she was going to bed. “I'm going to write to mum and then to bed.” Untangling herself from Sirius' arms, who was reluctant to let her go. “Goodnight Sirius.” She pulled away from him but still he held her to him. “What?”

“Goodnight kiss?” Raising an eyebrow towards her but smirked at her giggle and she leant forward and kissed him quickly. He then let her go but as she left to recollect her school books, he did not take his eyes off her. He traced every curve of her body when she walked away from him and retreated up the stairs to the girls' dormitories.

“Put your tongue away Pads.” James spoke sternly and playfully glared at his best friend. “That is my sister you are staring at.”

“My girlfriend.” Sirius smirked as he returned his attention to his friends.

“Brother trumps boyfriend every time.” James sat back, folded his arms and stared at Sirius, not blinking.

“I have one tactic that no brother can use with his sister.” Sirius smirked as he sat back and placed one foot on the low table in front of him. “I can kiss her for long periods of time and she goes weak in her knees.”

“Thanks(!) Something I did not want to imagine.” James shivered and laughed loudly. “Fine. You win that one!” Laughing a little quieter and turned to Remus. Quickly glancing around and lowered his voice. “How is the map going?”

Remus gave a small smile. “I'd say nearly halfway there. Just a few more things to add and a few more spells and it should be ready.” Chuckling softly as he thought about the near completed map, which was safely hidden in his trunk. “I'd say by the beginning of next term, it will be ready. Might take me most of the Christmas holidays to perfect but...” He stopped speaking as Lily entered the room and walked immediately passed them without a word or a glance.

“Don't rush it Moony.” Sirius spoke kindly towards his friend, knowing there was a full moon during the holidays on January 5^th. “It doesn't have to be finished until you say it is finished. Just make sure it is finished while we're still in school not after we've finished our seventh year.” The four laughed and talked for the rest of the night and James privately thought of ways he could ask Lily to the New Years' ball. Ways where he would not sound like an idiot and ways she would not be able to reject him.
