Chapter 18
Sirius POV
‘Mr. Zabini, might I have a word?’ I asked, trying to be as polite as possible. I’d never been more nervous in my life. He turned around to face me, a reserved expression on his face. In that moment I fully realised that this man’s daughter was in the hospital wing because of me, yet here I was trying to get his approval for taking her to a ball. ‘Was there something you wanted Mr. Black, or did you merely want to stare at me?’ he asked, annoyed by my silence. ‘Mr Zabini, first of all thank you for not pressing charges.’ It seemed like a good thing to start with some gratitude, although I was sure he had nothing to do with Lex’ decision. She was too headstrong to listen to anyone else’s judgement.
‘If you knew my daughter even a little, Mr Black, you would know that she makes her own decisions.’ I nodded. ‘You may not be aware of this, but I care for Lex a lot’ He interrupted me on that ‘which is, naturally why she’s in the hospital wing for damage done by your wand.’ I cringed at his tone. ‘Although you are right in accusing me, I beg you to hear me out on this.’ He motioned for me to go on. I told him a lot more than I intended to. I told him about the need to protect Lex, about my jealousy and my possessiveness. My unwillingness to share her with others. How my anger drove me to do what I did. ‘My curse was never aimed at her sir, it was aimed for her friend, whom I view as a threat, an opponent, who is competing with me to be in Lex’ favour. I acted rashly, without thinking, and She took the hit that was meant for him.’ Mr Zabini had been quiet throughout my story. ‘Mr. Black, informative as your tale has been, Alexandra has already told me all of this. Is there any point in your story, or are you just intent on taking up my precious time?’ Unhelpful as though it was, I realised his voice sounded the same as Lex’ did when she was annoyed at me. ‘I wanted to ask your permission to ask Lex, I mean Alexandra, as my date to the Malfoy ball, during Christmas break.’ I corrected her name, because I knew Mr. Zabini hated it when others called Lex anything other than Alexandra.
Mr. Zabini looked taken aback by my question. ‘Well Mr. Black, I’m glad you’re so fond of my daughter, but unfortunately I have to turn your request down.’ I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, he was turning me down? ‘Might I enquire as to you reasons?’ I asked, doing my very best to remain polite and patient. ‘I’m surprised you don’t know’ he said. ‘Alexandra wrote to me this afternoon, telling me to pass along to her mother that she was attending the ball in the company of your brother Regulus, haven’t they told you?’ My temper flared, I was bested by my own brother. How dare he ask the girl I cared so much about? It took everything I had not to show Mr. Zabini how much this bugged me. ‘Thank you for being so kind, and informative Mr Zabini, I apologise for wasting your time.’ I told the older man. I wanted him gone as soon as possible so I could rant at Lex. Snape had known, that much was for sure, he’d been too confident in his deal about the Halloween dance. I bade Mr. Zabini a good night, and waited until I couldn’t hear his footsteps anymore.
I whirled around, and forcefully pushed the door to the hospital wing open. Snape and Lex both turned to look at me, and I saw Lex’ eyes widen as she looked at me in fear. I saw her hand grab Snape’s wand. That did it, first she agrees to go out with my brother, of all people my own brother, and now she’s afraid of me? I wanted to explain myself to her, not even caring that Snape was there.
‘I just had a talk with your father’ I announced, I managed to restrain my anger. She looked confused, as if she had no idea what could have angered me. I saw Snape taking his wand out of her hand, he caught on, and was preparing for a fight. ‘I wanted to ask his permission to take you to the Malfoy ball.’ I was shaking with repressed anger now. ‘Your father told me that, of all the people you could have gone with, it’s MY BROTHER that you decided to accept?’ The vase on her bedside table exploded, shards of broken glass flying everywhere. I was breathing heavily, it had been a long time since I lost control over my magic, sure I had thrown a hex at Snape the week before, but that had been more of less controlled, this was a spontaneous outburst of magic. I looked up, to check that Lex was unharmed, which she was, Snape must have conjured a shield when he saw that I was about to loose it.
Without another word, I left the hospital wing. I didn’t pay any attention to where I was going, so I was surprised when I reached the fat lady.
I ignored my friends, and went straight to bed, hoping to find an easy solution that involved in landing me a date, and maybe gauging a reaction from Lex.
Just this kind of solution hit me when I put my head on the pillow. I had to write a letter to someone I hadn’t seen in a long time, someone I had never imagined writing to.

I hope to post the next chapter today, maybe tomorrow, depending on the workflow and the inspiration.
