A tall figure strode along an empty corridoor, footsteps echoing around the stone-clas passage-way.
He stopped beside a statue of an old witch, her humped-back casting a shadow onto his feet. Bending, as if to study the inscription at the statue's base, Sirius tugged his wand from his robes, jabbing the object at the staue.
Casting his wary glance about, the teen leant into the witch, muttering 'Dissendium' and tapping her hump as he did so. A grating signified the opening of the secret passage that lay beneath the witch, and Sirius Black snuck into it, closing the 'door' behind him.
As soon as he'd dropped into the space, blackness enveloped him in her shroud. "Lumos." Sirius spoke quietly, illuminating the black around him with the glow from his wand. Sighing contentedly, the teen sank down to wait, contemplating the letter he had just sent.
Dear Sadie, This is going to sound really stupid, but at the moment I'm heading for the statue of the hump-back witch on the... whatever floor it is. I dunno if you know or not, but there is a secret passage under it, and that's where I'm going to sit for a while. I was wondering if you'd come talk about what happened with Regulus? If you're busy, fine... but I'll wait for a little while. To get in, you just hit the hump with the wand and say 'dissendium'. Cheers, Sirius.

Sadie cursed inwardly as she narrowly missed the ball of matter fur that was Mrs Norris, Filch's cat. She breathed in deeply as she quickly ran down the hall, the piece of parchment that was Sirius' not clutch tightly in her hand.
She had left her robe behind as she could very well trip over it of get it caught on a suit of armour, again. She skidded to a halt at the large statue, looking it up and down before unfolding the note to check if this was indeed the right statue.
Smiling as she realised it was she pulled out her wand and lightly tappen the poor witch's enormous lump whilst muttering "Dissendium" under her breath. As the hump slid open she climbed in, lighting her wand with the Lumos spell.
She squinted slightly in the feeble amount of light and spotted Sirius sitting by the rough wall of the secret passage.
"Sirius?"

The cramped teen looked up, startled. A smile spread onto his face, seemingly illuminating the space around him - though that may have been caused to the extra energy he put into the Lumos spell at that time...
Brushing this thought aside with a shake of his head, Sirius held up a hand of greeting. "Hi," he murmured, "You found it ok, then?!"

Sadie nodded, "Yeah I found it. Almost got caught by Filch though.." she replied with a soft laugh.
She walked deeper into the secret passage after shutting the entrance to it behind her. She sat on the floor next to Sirius, staring at her hands for a few mintues as she twirled her wand between her fingers.
"So.. Um.. what did you want to talk about? I mean I don't what to say really.."

Sirius gave a hollow chuckle that reverberated around the damp passage. "Sorry about the place," he muttered, staring regretfully at the ceiling, "But I didn't think we'd be disturbed here...." Sighing, the teen looked to Sadie, "Well to be honest, I don't know myself. I jsut wanted to talk about... what happened. To know exactly how you feel and stuff... but now I feel stupid for even thinking about it..."

Sadie rubbed the back of her neck as she stared at the ground "I don't know where to start really.. It's a hard thing for me to talk about y'know?" she mumbled tracing patterns upon the cold, damp surface.

Sirisu looked up sharply, his temper aroused with in seconds. "You don't think," he began, half shouting, but forcing himself to calm down and speak quietly, "You don't think it's hard for me too? It's hard for both of us, but we can't go 'round ignoring it and stuff - I know we're like 13... well, I'm 14 next month... but this is just going to follow us arond unless we talk about it! You said you wanted to go out again, but how can we unless we talk about what happened?!"

Sadie frowned, stopping herself rom looking up at Sirius. "I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry Sirius.." she mumbled slightly ashamed.

Shaking his head, Sirius leant back against the wall. "It's ok," he muttered, "I don't care,"
But Sirius's words contradicted his true emotions. It was obvious that he did care, simply by glancing at the pained expression that rested upon his face. His usual smile had been replaced by a frown - the furrows of which grew deeper as he contemplated what to say next.
"Sadie... Did he really hurt you?"

Sadie held one palm against the side of her face as she studied Sirius, the boy she loved, struggling with his emotions. "I think he hurt us all Sirius," she sighed attempting to look into the dark pools that were his eyes.

"No..." Sirius shook his head, raven locks tumbling in all directions. Still he did not allow his eyes to meet with Sadie's. "No, I mean really hurt you..."
The boy gestured feebily with his arms, holding them before him and staring at them, shaking his shoulders as he did so. "When he was... did he hurt you?"

Sadie lowered her head and gazed intently at the floor. "Yeah.. he did.." she answered him softly as she hld the ends of her sleeves tightly in her fists

Sirius voice rose dangerously as he growled a response. "I'll kill him... bastard. I tell you Sadei, I'll kill him. I'll..." More threats, more curses would have ensued - but Sirius halted himself. "I'm sorry... but most of all. I'm sorry I never believed you. It's just... when I saw you. It really did look like you enjoyed it. And I... when you're angry, you make yourself believe things. And I made myself believe you liked it... that he didn't really hurt you..."
A tear slowly trickled down Sirius's miserable cheek, slightly cooling the reddened skin.

"Oh Sirius! Please don't cry.." she whispered leaning over to place a hand on his cheek and brush the tear away with her thumb. "I know.." she mumbled wiping her own eyes and placing a kiss on his cheek where she had wiped the tear away.

Sirius closed his eyes, choking back the sob. "I'm sorry. I look dumb. And I'm acting dumb... and what's with all my apologies. Look, Sadie... I have to say this. I know you just ki... I just have to say it. And I need you to do the same. This is exactly what I think of you. Please don't be hurt or anything..."
Sirius sighed, pulling away from Sadie and leaning back against a wall. A deep breath signified his start. "Sadie, you're an amazing person. So you're not the prettiest girl I know, not in reality. But in my eyes you are. When I look at you, I see someone who reallly knows me, cares about me. Or at least I did. And I like you because you're funny. You make me laugh, do things that make me laugh. You don't lie, I can trust you. And I know that, even after Regulus. And you're the first girl I ever kissed, so I guess I have some sort of connection to you. And you know virtually everything about me... and I think I know a lot about you. And you stick up for what you believe in. You're independent and can stick up for yourself. And I have to say this. Although you're the only girl I ever really kissed... you... you're on hell of a kisser. And I still like you. A lot. It might even be love, but I guess we're too young for that. Everytime I look at you, I think how unfair it is that I'm not next to you, holding your hands. And I look in your eyes and see stars and just wish that they could swallow me up. And... Sadie. I know you probably won't trust me now. I'm not even sure if you still like me. You know, like like. As well as like. But I know I like you - and like like you. So if you want to start again, I want to. In both like and like like terms. And I...." Sirius stumbled a little, heart racing as he felt himself colouring, "And I'm making a complete mess of this. And I rehearsed it 'til I had it perfect. How come stuff always goes wrong?"
