Side-along apparition: They emerged on to a flat piece of land, completely submerged in greenery. Exotic colours hung down from the loaded branches of many trees flanking them, and a narrow path wended its way between two rows of rosebushes

He followed Isha across the path and, moments later, they found himself in the midst of a wide, square of greenery, one bounded by high, brown fences. Sirius could immediately tell why the place had been named Green square. Tall, red-brick houses stood side by side, each with its own, enchanted story, or so he felt.

"The ones on the left are all unoccupied," Isha told him cheerfully, pointing to a cluster of small but sizable houses nearby. The desire for sleep was too over over-powering; Sirius barely managed to keep his eyes open as he listened to her and, somehow, managed to nod. "That one next to us is supposed to be mine, but I've never used it because I've been sharing rooms with my best friend ever since I graduated."

Sirius frowned, blinking. "So, what about me?"

Isha nodded towards the house that she claimed as hers. "Let's take your luggage inside."

"But I said I would pay on my own," Sirius said, realizing what she was doing only when she flicked her wand and his luggage began to follow her towards her house, suspended in midair.

Isha turned to him and smiled. "No problem. You can always pay later."

"Isha, this isn't right," Sirius stated firmly as they reached the wide, red gate that marked the start of her unused house. "I refuse to step inside, and that's the end of it."

"You do, do you?" She pushed open the gate and turned around to face him, her hair whipping her cheeks. The luggage she had been conducting inside fell to the ground in a heap. "Nice way to hurt my feelings, Sirius."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to -"

"Save your breath."

"Really, Ish -"

"Don't bother, okay."

Sirius let out a sigh. He would never have given in, but he was sure he would probably fall asleep on the spot if he didn't. "Okay, okay, you win, I loose. Happy?"

A bright smile immediately founds it way on to Isha's high-cheeked countenance. "Never better."


Yay for Page 6. ^^

Glad to know that, hunny.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, guess what? - ish shifty - Clicky!.

*sings along*

Sirius is so bad. I feel like kicking him.

PAMS, Max.

Sunlight was now streaming into the room, thanks to the wide open window right next to his warm bed. Sirius woke up with a start, his eyes attempting to adjust to the sudden onset of light - It had been absolutely dark when he had fallen asleep.

Where am I?

He found the answer soon enough, as his mind began to travel back to the events that had taken place the previous night. He remembered meeting Isha, and he remembered how he had come here. And then he remembered something else: Pascal.

All of a sudden, he was wide, wide awake. Something went through his heart like a sharpened knife, and he realized that, in all of his sleep and haste, he had more than just dismissed her from mind: He had forgotten her.

She must have waited for him for ages; pictures of the Eiffel Tower, the spot he had promised he would meet her at, began to revolve in his mind. He could imagine her standing there, one hand gripping her side, the other brushing strands of aurum off her fair face. And he could imagine her leaving hours later, tears behind her eyes.

A sudden knock at the door jerked him brutally out of his thoughts.

"Awake yet?" Isha was calling.

"No," he shot back. This, he felt, was all her fault. It was more probably his own, but Sirius did not have the heart to admit that, of course. The door swung open, and Isha entered, laughing as she placed a fully loaded tray on the circular table next to his bed.

"Funny."

Sirius forced himself to smile at her comment, but made no reply; his mind was still on Pascal. "Listen, Isha, I was supposed to meet someone yesterday, and I forgot all about it." He had no idea how to keep it back: the words just tumbled out of his mouth; his brain seemed blank; numbed.

Isha's eyes narrowed. "Before you met me, you mean?"

Sirius nodded.

"Who?" Isha's eyes had narrowed further.

"A - err - girl."

"I thought you didn't know any witches here," she said unhelpfully.

"She isn't a witch," Sirius replied sulkily.

Isha had still not seated herself. Hands on hips, she shrugged her shoulders in a very so-what manner. "Want to see some place fun today? They have a lovely museum here, all sorts of antique -"

"Isha!"

"What?"

"I have to meet Pascal." He could still not believe he had forgotten. For some reason he himself did not know, he felt that the entire blame did not lie with his own self alone. He had just been too sleepy the night before to remember anything. Too unnaturally sleepy, now that he came to think of it . . .

Isha scowled heavily. "Then find her, Sirius. It's not my fault you fell asleep."

She marched away from him, towards the door, her gait fierce, anger evident on her countenance. Reaching the door, she wrenched it open and walked out without another word, letting it fall shut with a loud bang.

Behind her, Sirius slumped down into his bed, biting his lip.

“How do I know you won’t hurt me?” she asked softly. “People see my face and they think I’m beautiful. Then I leave and they realize that they let my beauty hoodwink their senses. I can’t even walk, for Heaven’s sake. I don’t want to get hurt again, Sirius. I’ve been hurt too many times already.”

He did not know how to answer her question. He only felt that, at the moment, nothing was of greater significance to him than assuring her that he would not. His hand fond hers, almost without his knowing it and, before he knew it, it had closed around it. “I promise, Pascal.”

How many times the scene re-acted itself in his mind, Sirius did not. Two hours later, he had lost count. Pascal's voice was still there, hammering his mind from all directions, and he could feel beads of sweat trickling down his face.

"I don’t want to get hurt again, Sirius. I’ve been hurt too many times already. . . . hurt too many times already . . . . hurt too many times already. . . . hurt too many times already. . . ."

There was no escape.

*eyes both of you*

I feel sorry for Sirius. *hides before any of you decide to attack* =P

No one kicks my Sirius.

Even if he's a jerk, sometimes.

In the middle of nowhere [pun intended].
