Chapter 5: Fights and Attractions

The Christmas holidays were soon upon the Gryffindors and the majority of them were going home for Christmas except 5 of them. James and May had to stay in school for the holidays because their parents had to go away for official business; which they never shared with their children. Sirius had decided to stay rather than face his parents. Lastly were two 6^th years, who were quiet and kept out of everybody's way. When the rest of the students left for the holidays James, Sirius and May took advantage of being able to sit in the comfy chairs by the fire and talking late into the night.

“Come on May.” Sirius pleaded. “What happened with you and Joshua?”

“No! No no no no!” Shaking her head and avoiding his gaze. “It has been over a month since we broke up and I do not wish to talk about it.” Her gaze fixed on the flames.

“May, come on.” James spoke softly. “We just want to know if he did anything to you.”

“He didn't!” She turned and glared at him. “We just didn't... I didn't want a relationship. There! Now drop it, James.” Her glare turned to pleading. “Please. It's the Christmas season, let's not fight.” Giving Sirius a small wink and notably flickered her eyes to the window, where it shown the snow had started to fall heavily. “You up for it?” She gave the Potter smirk.

James turned and looked out the window, when he turned back to look at her, a smile was spread across his face. “Of course.” Both he and May stood up and sprinted up to their respective dormitories, leaving behind a chuckling Sirius, who followed after James but not as fast as his friend.

May was the last one back to the common room as she was fully dressed with coat, scarf, hat, clothes and a few more layers. The boys looked at her strangely. “What? I want to stay out there as long as I can.” Smiling softly as she straighten her black hat. “Ready?”

“Definitely.” James grinned at her. “Let the war begin.”

“I will win again.” May gloated as they left the Common Room and made their way outside. The excitement radiated from all three of them.

“I doubt that my darling sister as I do have someone to help me.” Nudging Sirius next to him.

“Think again Prongs. I am my own army. Three way war?” Smirking as they reached the Grand Staircase and walked down the many stairs to reach the ground floor.

“Oooh. I like it.” May smiled at the two of them. “But you have to promise not to join forces and gang up on me.” Raising an eyebrow at them as they reached the main doors and made their out into the cold grounds, where the snow was still falling heavily and the entire grounds were covered in a white blanket of fresh snow. “Wow. Never ceases to amaze me.” May gasped as she looked around the grounds. “Always so beautiful.”

“How did I guess you three would be the first out?” An amused voice spoke from behind them.

“Hello Professor.” The three of them spoke to their headmaster.

“What you except us to do? Stay inside?” James laughed lightly.

“Of course not. Enjoy the rest of the day, Mr Potter, Mr Black and of course Miss Potter. Please try to not bring any snow back inside the castle, I think Mr Filch will not be very happy about cleaning it up after you and do not let him catch you if you are late back in.” He chuckled lightly and then turned to go back inside. “Oh!” Turning back to them. “Have fun.” Smiling as he walked away, humming a soft tune.

The three of them looked at each other before laughing and running out into the school grounds and into the snow. The soft snow crunched under their feet as they walked. Snow continued to fall as they walked further, slowly May bent down and scooped up a load of snow into her hands. Quietly she stalked behind James and then threw it right at his head.

“Hey!” He grumbled but he still had a smile across his face. “We haven't even started yet.” Bending over to scoop up some snow but Sirius' body collided with James'. “Ow!” James grumbled but turned onto Sirius and began wrestling with him.

“Come on children.” May rolled her eyes at them. “We have a war to start.” She grinned at them both as they both stood up, covered in snow and jumped at her. She groaned at the impact but laughed when they hit the ground. “Get off!” She shouted but reached for two handfuls of snow and pressed them into their hair. “Got you!” She laughed victoriously and tried to move away from them but was met with two snowballs in the face. “Hey!” She giggled and managed to escape from their clutches and run across the grounds towards the Black Lake.

“Come here!” James shouted after her as he threw a lump of snow at Sirius before running away from his best friend and after his sister. “I'll get you May!” He shouted as he watched her disappear into a clump of trees. “Hiding in some trees won't help you!” He shouted forward and then glanced back to see Sirius running towards him with a handful of snow. James began running quickly in the direction May had ran.

May was kneeling in the snow behind a bush and was busy making loads of snowballs. One of her's and James' rules is they were not allowed to use magic and so they always left their wands in the castle to avoid temptation. She kept straining her hearing to listen for nearby footsteps. Continuing to make snowballs, she heard fast footsteps approaching her. Smirking she got ready to launch her first snowball at whoever it was.

“Come out May. I know you are here.” James' voice sounded low and dangerous as he moved slowly across the snow, closer and closer to her hiding place. “Come out, come out, come out wherever you are.” He chanted slowly.

May took a deep breath held a snowball in her right hand and jumped up, found James and threw a snowball at his back. “Got you!”

“Ow!” He grumbled and spun around and threw a snowball at her, hitting her in the stomach.

“Oof.” May gasped at the impact of the snowball but bent down quickly and threw one at him but missed as he ducked behind a tree. “You can't hide from me James!” She shouted and was about to run out and catch him when Sirius came into view. She smirked as she threw the next snowball at him, hitting him in the side of the head.

“What the...?” He gasped at the impact of the cold substance. “Of course.” He smirked and threw his own at her, which hit her shoulder.

“I'll get you for that Black!” Bending down, scooping up a load of snow and launching it in his direction but missed.

“Poor aim for a chaser.” He teased. “Argh!” He shouted as James pelted loads of snow at him.

“Remember to watch your back, beater.” James smirked and ducked behind the nearest tree as two lots of snow were thrown at him. “Missed me!” His voice spoke from behind the tree.

Sirius looked at May and nodded slowly, silently pointing to one side of the tree. May understood, gave him a small smirk and shovelled loads of snow into her hands and slowly crept to one side of James' hiding place and Sirius crept to the other side, he too had a pile of snow in his gloved hands. The pair of them reached James' tree and smothered him with the snow in their hands.

“That's not fair!” James cried as he bent down and threw snow at May first and then at Sirius before running around Sirius, pushing him into May and running off into the direction of the Castle, laughing.

Sirius fell into May, causing them both to fall onto the ground with May flat on the ground and Sirius on top of her. “Oh Merlin, I'll get him.” He looked down at May, the pair of them laughing. Sirius had his hands either side of her head to keep off most of his weight. “We'll get him for that.” He looked down at her, forgetting to move.

Her black hair was fanned out around her face. Snow speckled her dark locks and her eyelashes. “Sirius... We need to get moving if we're to catch him.” Still laughing lightly but by the time she had ended her sentence, her tone was quite sincere and her hazel eyes were locked with his grey orbs. “Sirius....” She whispered and stopped breathing when she noticed him lowered his lips closer to her own. Closing her eyes, she waited for the moment when she felt his lips against her own but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw him further away than before.

“I'm sorry. You must be cold down lying in the snow.” He stood up quickly and held out his hands.

Gingerly May took them both and he pulled her onto her feet. “Thanks.” She mumbled and walked away. “Great(!) I'm all wet now. I'm going to have to go in now.” Grumbling as she refused to look back at Sirius.

“You ok?” He jogged up beside her.

“Yeah. Like I said I'm cold.” Wrapping her arms across herself, daring not to look at him. “I'll go inside, tell James.”

“May...” He stepped in front of her. “I was going to kiss you. But...”

“You immediately remembered that I'm James' sister.” Rolling her eyes at him and stepping around him. “Don't waste your breath, you're just as bad as them all. All boys are scared of liking me because of James. Oh and of you too.” Calling over her shoulder at him and tried to run up to the castle but the deep snow limited her speed.

“May, please... I didn't kiss you because you're James' sister. I didn't kiss you because I thought you saw me as a brother.” Rushing to her side and grabbing her hand in his.

“I do see you as a brother but not in the way James is to me. I see you as a friend who near enough lives with us. If we had met when we were younger and became friends, then yes I would probably see you as a brother right now, a brother like James.” She stopped walking but did not let go of Sirius' hand. “Just friends.” She murmured softly and glanced at her shoes before looking back up at him. “Please.” She whispered and pulled her hand gently away.

“Of course.” He nodded and watched her walk away from him. Closing his eyes, he calmed himself down and fisted his hands to stop himself from chasing after her. “Pull yourself together Sirius.” He muttered to himself as he walked off in search of James. “James!” He called out as he walked through the snow. “James! Come out! May's gone in!”

“Aww what?” He appeared from behind a snow bank. “Why has she gone in?”

“Well when you pushed me, I fell into her and she fell into the snow. So she's basically wet and wants to go in and get warm.” Shrugging his shoulders slightly and rolled his eyes. “So it's your fault.” He smirked. “Shall we go in too? It is getting late as well.” Suggesting to James but really he wanted to try and talk to May.

“Yeah. Snow will still be here tomorrow.” James chuckled. “I'm glad you didn't go home.” Smiling at his friend as the two walked side-by-side to the castle. “It would have been fun with just May and I but even more now you are here.”

“Thanks mate. Glad I could stay. Nice to lie to the parents occasionally.” He smirked. “Dear Mother and Father, Would it be possible for me to stay in school for the Christmas holidays as I wish to devote myself to my studies? Yours sincerely Sirius.” Sirius continued to smirk as he recited his letter to his parents which he had sent two weeks ago.

“Nice.” James nodded and let out a sigh as the warmth of the school hit them. “I am definitely staying inside now. I can feel my fingers again.” Laughing softly as they climbed the main staircase of the school.

May thought about hiding in her room from Sirius would be the best option but she knew it would worry James about her if she didn't make an appearance in the Common Room. She changed into comfortable clothes which were a pair of jeans and a baggy white t-shirt. Her long black hair was tied back from her face and was in a ponytail, hanging down her back. Taking a deep breath she left her dormitory and returned to the Common Room.

As she reached the bottom of the steps, James and Sirius entered the Common Room, she could not meet Sirius' eyes but she pretended nothing had happened. “Well, hello. Sorry I cut short the fun. I got wet.” Shrugging her shoulders and walked to the comfy chairs next to the fire. “Go and change you two or you will be ill.” Laughing lightly at the lanky boys with wet hair before looking at the roaring fire.

The two shook their heads and walked towards the boys' dormitories. Sirius walked behind James and was able to look back at May, who was concentrating on the fire and not looking at him. He turned back and walked up the stairs, following James.

When she knew they were gone, May turned and saw Sirius' retreating back. “Oh, leave it be May.” She spoke to herself. “It means nothing.” Pulling her long hair over her shoulder, in front of her, she played with the ends as she watched the flames dance in the fireplace. “Boys!” She groaned and rolled her eyes.

“May...” Sirius whispered as he moved into the Common Room and sat next to her. “Can I speak before James comes down?” Her silence was his answer to carry on. “May, I want you to know that I would never treat you like...” He was cut off by James coming down the stairs from the dormitories. “You will have a great birthday with us.” Sirius smiled at May, who returned the smile back.

“Of course you will May. You have me and Pads here.” Sitting in between them and putting an arm around each of them. Sirius pushed his arm off but May moved closer to James. “At least my little sister still loves me.” James smiled and held her tighter.

“Thanks James.” May muttered.

“What for?” He asked curiously.

“Just being you.” She chuckled and rested her head on his shoulder. “Never change.” Glancing over at Sirius, who's jaw was clenched and he was staring into the fire, knowing those simple words were also aimed at him.

“I will never change.” James kissed the top of her head. “Never in a million years.” Wrapping his other arm around her too.

“But that does not include what I said about Lily. Leave her alone. You are scaring her.” May laughed lightly as she moved her arm and wrapped it around her brother's stomach.

“Oh come on May. You know that Lily loves me really.”

“Yes. Like a hole in the head.” May laughed lightly as she looked into the fire.

James laughed. “Give her time. She will realise that she loves me.”

“Of course James. Whatever you say James.” Speaking sleepily, her eyes growing heavy as she fell asleep in James' embrace.

“Must have worn her out.” James whispered as he held May against him. He glanced at Sirius and smiled. “You ok? You seem quiet.”

“Thinking.” Sirius said plainly.

“About...?” James pushed. “The next girl?” He chuckled when Sirius didn't answer. “You are a right Casanova.”

“A what?” He frowned at James.

“Me neither. May called you it the other day when we were talking about your latest girlfriend.” James chuckled. “Pass me that blanket.” Nodding to a blanket draping over the arm of one of the armchairs. Sirius stood up, took the red woollen blanket from the chair and placed it over May instead of giving it to James. “Thanks.” Making sure May was comfortable and covered up. “You can go to bed when you like. I'll stay down here with her.”

“Nah mate. I'll stay too. Keep you company.” Sirius chuckled and stood up and sat in one of the comfy chairs. “There. You've got more room now.” He smiled and looked at May, who was sleeping silently in James' arms.

“Is she ok?” James asked with a raised eyebrow as he noticed Sirius watching May.

“Yes. Yes. Yeah.” Sirius smiled. “I thought she was faking it. I was waiting to catch her out.” He smirked and turned to look into the fire.

“Oh right.” Sounding a little unconvinced but rested his cheek on the top of his sister's head. “Night May.” He whispered softly to her.

All three of them slept in the Common Room and woke up with stiff bodies from sleeping awkwardly. May smiled to them both and disappeared to her dormitory to change. Though she briefly glanced at Sirius, she could not put the full happiness into her smile towards him.

“Why? Why?” She repeated over and over again as she paced her silent and empty dormitory after she had changed into a pair of jeans and pale yellow tee shirt. “Why now? What's changed? Sure, I had a crush on him before but now he likes me?” She ran her hands through her long hair. “Why?!” She grumbled and sat on the edge of her bed. Staring in front of her. “Give him a chance?” She spoke thoughtfully and sighed heavily. “No, no I won't.” Biting her lip as she stood up and slowly walked to the door. “I will not give in so easily.” She marched out of the room and straight down the stairs to the Common Room. “Empty.” She gave a relieved sigh but she certainly wanted to speak to Sirius and tell him properly but she knew that she would not be able to look at him without blushing or stuttering over her words.

“May...” Sirius' familiar voice came from the chair by the fire. “Please.” He stood up and into May's view. She started to make her way to the portrait of the Fat Lady. “May wait please.” He jumped over the sofa and rushed and stood in front of her. “Please can we talk?”

“Not here.” She mumbled and glanced at the portraits, who seemed to be talking quietly to each other but were glancing at the two of them because of Sirius' leap over the sofa. “Too many witnesses.” Walking around him and out of the Common Room, Sirius following close behind. The pair walked in silence to the seventh floor. “I don't know how to get in here.” Gesturing her hand to the bare wall.

“What do you want?” Sirius spoke with an amused smile.

“Just a classroom where no one can get in and disturb us.” May spoke softly, not looking at Sirius.

“Of course.” He nodded and paced in front of the blank wall concentrating on the thought of a classroom where they would be disturbed. The door appeared and the two of them walked inside. “What is it you wished to say?” Moving to a desk and sitting on it.

May moved to the desk opposite him and sat across from him. “I wanted to tell you something where I could not be disturbed by James and for him finding out what I am about to say.” She took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them, locking them on Sirius. “I like you.” She whispered softly. “I like you.” Speaking slightly louder than a whisper. “More than a friend.” A blush was definitely present on her cheeks. “I have only just realised when you nearly kissed me yesterday.” She ran a hand through her long black hair, keeping her eyes fixed on the boy sitting in front of her. “I was afraid to admit it to you because I was scared of James.” Looking away from him and looking to her right at the stone wall there. “I did not want to say anything because I know how much James depends on you as a friend and a sort of brother.”

“I know what you mean.” Sirius smiled and jumped from his position and sat on her right. “May, why do you think I was afraid to tell you? Not because of the fact that James might kill me for even thinking about kissing his little sister. I didn't tell you because I valued James' relationship with you!” Gesturing with his left hand to her. “You two are more like twins than anything. He has been protective because of what happened with Malfoy and he has the idea that every boy who likes you will treat you like Malfoy would have.”

May gave a nervous laugh and turned to look at him. “I know what you mean. I am scared of Malfoy but not like I was that night and I am glad that James feels the need to protect me 24/7.” Laughing more confidently as she began to relax in his presence. “I think we shouldn't repeat this conversation to anyone especially James.” Smiling gently.

“I agree. Especially James or he'll cut off my balls if he found out that I fancied his baby sister.” Rolling his eyes as he said the words baby sister. “So? What do we do from here?” He reached his hand over and placed it over her hand.

She turned her hand in his grasp and entwined their fingers together. “I don't know. See how it goes?” She said timidly and shrugged her shoulders.

“Couldn't agree more.” He held her hand gently and leant closer to her. “How about this?” Tilting his head to one side and softly kissed her on the lips.

“I liked that.” She whispered when he pulled back. “A great start.” Her eyes flickering from his eyes to his lips, she moved slightly closer to him. “A very great start.” He moved closer again in order for their lips to touch once more. Their second kiss was soft and gentle, neither progressed any further. “James...” May said her brother's name as she pulled away from him. “He will be wondering where we are.”

He cupped her cheek and then ran his hand through her long hair. “Of course.” He jumped off the desk and held out his hands to her. “Come on. I'll think of an excuse on the way.” She took them and jumped off the desk to stand in front of him. “Let's go.” He let go of one of her hands and led her out of the Room of Requirement.

“Thought of anything yet?” She chuckled as they walked back towards the Gryffindor Tower.

“No.” Sirius rolled his eyes in defeat. “How did you know about the Room of Requirement?”

May shrugged a shoulder. “Joshua showed me. We had a meal in here. It was the day we broke up.” She felt a comforting squeeze from him. “I don't think it would have worked out properly in the end.” Laughing nervously, not wanting to reveal the truth to him.

“May... Are you okay?” He asked her slowly, stopping as they reached the portrait of the Fat Lady.

“Yes, just thinking about James and what he would say if he know about the two of us.” Lying as best as she could.

“Me too. Shall we keep it between the two of us for now?” He smiled gently as his thumb made lazy circles on the back of her hand. “I don't think I'd be able to survive James.”

“Me neither.” She laughed softly as she glanced at the portrait. “Any excuse yet?”

“Nope.” He chuckled. “I'm sure we'll think of something when we have to face him. Liquorice wands.” He let go of May's hand as he gave the password to the Fat Lady, who swung open to reveal James walking towards it. “Hey Prongs. Been looking for you.”

“You knew I was in the bathroom.” Stepping out of the portrait hole.

“No I didn't. I thought I heard you leave the dormitory.” Sirius just shrugged his shoulders. “Oh well. Breakfast?”

“Sure.” James nodded and he looked between Sirius and May. “Awwww. Did you help Pads to look for me baby sister?”

May scoffed and laughed. “No. I went for a walk, needed to clear my head.” Walking ahead of them. “Last one to breakfast is a rotten egg.” Starting off at a sprint towards the Great Hall.

James and Sirius looked at each other and ran after May, who was quite far ahead of them.

May and Sirius were able to hide their relationship very well from James. They gave each other sly glances but the majority of the time they just acted as if all was normal. As if they were just friends. Christmas Day was approaching fast and the three of them were excited at spending the morning opening their presents from their families, well Sirius included the Potter's as his family because his own parents did not treat him fairly where James and May's parents did.

Christmas Eve evening, the three of them sat in the Common Room in front of the fire. The House Elves left them some mince pies and some butterbeer. None of them wished to go to sleep but each of them were slowly getting more and more tired. “Come on.” Sirius spoke up. “Let's go to bed before May falls asleep against James again.”

“Hey!” May shouted at him and frowned. “We had a busy day that day.” Poking her tongue out at him before standing up. “Sorry James but you were very uncomfortable to sleep on. So I will be sleeping in my own bed tonight.” Walking away from them towards the stairs. “Night.” She called over her shoulder and disappeared up the stairs.

“I am so glad she is not with Joshua any more.” James announced as soon as his sister was out of sight.

“Why?” Sirius asked curiously, turning to look at his friend.

“I don't know. I just didn't trust him.” James shrugged a shoulder in a bored fashion.

“James, you don't trust any boy with your sister.” Sirius added in nervously, but James did not sense the nervousness.

“True.” He nodded and laughed. “I got to be like that. I am her big brother and big brothers protect their little sisters from the boys.”

“You do know you are going to have to let her like boys.” Sirius nudged his friend. “She's 13 years old, of course she is going to notice that we exist.” He gave a barked laugh as James turned slightly white. “Come on James. Admit it. You wish her to never notice that boys exist. Though I must say it is too late to protect her from us.”

“Us?” James questioned him.

“Excuse me? I'm a girl?” He smirked cheekily and they both laughed at the comment. “I was just saying that May is a teenage girl and will eventually want to have a boyfriend.”

“I know but I would rather it be someone I can trust and I know will not hurt her.”

“Someone as dashing as me?” Sirius feigned jokingly.

“You? Yeah right(!)” He said sarcastically. “I'd rather her date the Giant Squid than someone who has a different girl each week.”

“The Giant Squid?” Sirius raised an eyebrow. “Too many tentacles.” Laughing as he spoke. “James be reasonable. You can't protect May forever. She'll go mad.”

“More than usual.” He chuckled. “I'm off.” Standing up and stretching. “Coming up?”

“Nah. Going to stay here for a bit longer. Need to think.” Turning his head and looked into the fire.

“Take your time.” James nodded as he too disappeared to the boys' dormitory. He knew Sirius liked to be alone for a while, just to think. He never asked what he thought about as he thought it would interrupt Sirius' state of mind.

Sirius stayed in his place, staring into the dying embers of the fire. Too many things were crossing his mind. His family mainly. Well the ones who were meant to be his family. Then the words from James repeated in his mind. “I'd rather her date the Giant Squid than someone who has a different girl each week.” Was that how everyone saw him? As a womaniser? “I probably am.”

“Probably what? Mad? I have to agree with that.” May's voice came from beside him. “Lunatic? Not so much.” She sat next to him, facing him, her arm resting on the back of the sofa. “I'd say you were probably crazy, more than anything.”

“Thanks(!)” He said sarcastically and turned his body to face her, mirroring her body position. “Then I get to say that I think you are crazy too.”

“What for? Liking you?” She raised an eyebrow as her hazel eyes studied him. “I know I am. I was crazy before I even met you.” Wrinkling her nose as she joked.

“True.” He chuckled as he reached his fingertips out slightly, to touch May's. Just the tips touched. “Why you out of bed? I thought you were tired.”

“I was but I realised I wasn't by the time I got upstairs.” Giving him a lazy grin. “I thought both or one of you would still be up.”

“Just me. James has just gone to bed.” Moving his hand more so he was covering her smaller one. “I like to think before I go to bed.”

May scoffed softly. “Don't hurt yourself.”

“I won't.” He smiled as his fingers rubbed the top of her hand. “Do you think this is a good idea?”

“You mean us?” Raising an eyebrow at him. He only nodded in response. “I don't know.” Shrugging a shoulder. “I mean I like you. I do but I was just thinking about...”

“James.” He finished the sentence for her and nodding slowly. “I know what you mean. I was thinking the same thing.”

“What shall we do?” Her gaze fixed upon their hands; his remained comfortably on top of her own.

“Do you want to give it a try? Without James knowing for now?” He watched her tense up and slowly pull her hand away.

“You know I can't keep secrets from James for long. Not a secret like this.” Moving her hand so it was resting in her lap. “I can't do that.” Shaking her head, a loose curl from her plait fell in front of her face. She looked back up at him, tucking the curl behind her ear. “James and I have never been able to hide secrets from each other.”

“You're hiding the truth to why you and Joshua broke up.” He raised an eyebrow at her as she began fidgeting under his gaze.

“There is nothing to talk about.” Turning her head away him and looking into the fireplace. “I didn't want a serious relationship with him and he did.” May knew that this was partly the truth but she wasn't telling Sirius how far Joshua wanted to take their relationship. She knew he would go straight to James.

“So, us trying to be together is pointless?”

“Yes if we are going to hide it from James.” Her eyebrows furrowed. “You think he will disapprove of his little sister going out with her brother's best friend, who so happens to have a different girl stuck to his hip every other week.”

“You are not like any of those girls.” He stood up, looking down at her. “You are so different to them.”

May stood up to face him. “I know I am. I can walk away from you now and I know it will hurt our friendship.”

“Hurt our friendship? What does that mean?” Folding his arms to stop himself from getting angry with her.

“I like you Sirius and we've kissed. So if I walk away because we both believe there is no point to this relationship, I know we will both be hurt. I know I will be.”

“Then don't walk away from it.” He stepped forward to her but she took a step back, keeping a distance between them.

“I have to! You want to hide the fact about us from James! I can't do that!” Tears began to form in her eyes. “We can be together but on the condition that we tell James. If you do not want to and then we cannot have one.” She paused, giving him enough time to answer but when she received no answer from him, she spoke. “I see. You would rather keep me hidden in the shadows than face James' protection over me.” She turned on her heel and disappeared back to her dormitory.

Sirius watched after her, taking a deep breath to calm his temper. He knew she was right but he couldn't be with her and James would never give his blessing for them. James would never speak to him for even thinking about May as his girlfriend. Ever since the incident with Malfoy, James was very protective of his little sister. May didn't even know what James had done. He and Sirius had taken Joshua aside and told him the terms for being with May. Strangely he had been quite relaxed about the threats James gave him.

Sirius returned to his seat on the sofa in front of the dying fire. Again his thoughts returned to him but they were filled with the dilemma of him and May. He truly liked her but her stubbornness and loyalty for her brother were standing in their way. They needed time and perhaps in time they would realise that they were only friends rather than anything more.
