Chapter 8

Love Potion Slip – A Marauder’s Era Fic.

Chapter 8 – Separate Directions.

The morning brought clarity to Jayne. She rose anew, refreshed and feeling as if a weight had been lifted. She found that she was alone in the bedroom and began to panic.

‘He’s done a runner! Bastard! Has his way and dumps me. How dare he?’ she fumed, quickly dressing and stomping her way out of the room, down the stairs and along the tunnel.

As she reached the mouth of the tunnel she paused. Yes she had just had the most wonderful experience and would never forget it, but she would never forgive Sirius for leaving her in the cold, grey daylight. She headed to her dorm and angrily started to pack her trunk in readiness for leaving the next day.

Sirius, during all of this was just exiting the kitchens, his arms full of good stuff from the House Elves. He had planned on waking Jayne with breakfast in bed, but when he returned to the Shrieking Shack, he found Jayne gone. Dropping the food, he ran all the way to the castle, only stopping when he reached the Hufflepuff Common Room entrance. At that moment, Kitty and her ‘friends’ came out.

“If you’re here to see Jayne, she said she never wants to see or speak to you ever again,” Kerith Jones said, sneering at him in disgust.

“Is that so? I want to hear it from her myself. How do I know that you have not just made all of that up, right now, on the spot?”

“Because we all heard it. We do share a dorm you know,” spat Kitty before tossing her head and walking away. Sirius stood there speechless.

‘What am I to do now? I need to explain to her what happened.’ He slowly made his way to Gryffindor Tower, where his friends were waiting to hear about what had happened. One look at his face told them it hadn’t gone so well.

“Oh well Pads mate. There’s still plenty more fish in the sea for you to snog,” James said, trying to cheer his friend up.

“What if she’s ‘The One’? Gods, I’ve lost her!” Sirius wailed, curled up on the rug in front of the fire. James, Remus and Peter looked at each other, not knowing what to do for him. Throughout the remainder of the day and night, Sirius was as miserable as he had ever been. Even during meals, Jayne chose to ignore him, no matter what he did to try and catch her attention. He decided the only and last chance he would have would be on the train. There she wouldn’t have many places to run and hide.

On the train Jayne tucked herself away in the corner of the last carriage, praying that only the likes of late running first or second years joined her. To her horror she was joined by Lucius Malfoy and his cronies, all of whom glared at her as if she was a piece of meat. She endured it for as long as she could stand before excusing herself, saying about how she had goodbyes to perform.

‘I would say anything just to get out of there,’ she thought as she roamed the corridors, not wanting to go back to that carriage until it was time to disembark the train at King’s Cross. During her wander she bumped into Sirius, who too was strolling the corridors, only he was trying to find that legendary Gryffindor courage within him and go find her. Fate had bought her to him. He breathed a sigh of relief.

“Oh, hi Sirius.”

“Jayne, hi!” Sirius replied, way too brightly.

“Erm.., excuse me,” Jayne asked as she tried to get past him. He almost let her go, but called to her just in time.

“Jayne, wait.”

“What?”

“About yesterday. Please let me explain,” he tried but she held up her hands to stop him from going on.

“I don’t want to hear any excuses Sirius. Please spare me the insult. Whatever the reason, I hope you’ll be happy. Goodbye Sirius.” He could do nothing to stop her. He just watched her walk away and out of his life. From that moment on he made a promise to himself to never fall in love again, ever.


A/N As we all know, Sirius was somewhat of a ladies man, or some would have you believe. Sorry it wasn’t my usual ‘happy’ ending, but I was getting a bit fed up of them. A girl can only write so many ‘happy ever afters’.

Please review XD
