chapter thirthy-three;
the one with the explanation
AVEN SEARCHED everywhere for Sirius. She searched the Black lake,the great hall, every classroom, and the library even though she doesn't even know why. The only place that she hasn't searched for is only his dorm. So Aven walked into the Gryffindor common room.
"Wormmy have you seen Padfoot?" Aven asked out of breath
"Uh he's in the dorm" Peter replied
"Okay thanyou-"
"Wait Ave" James called her
"Yeah?"
"He doesn't want to see you" Remus told her
"Of course he doesn't" Aven sighed plopping down on the sofa
"Merlin what am i going to do" Aven groaned
"Give him space" Remus kissed her head from behind
"He's going to hate me"
"No he won't" Said James
"Ave he won't hate you, he just need some time alone" Peter smiled at her
"God why am i so stupid" Aven groaned
"Star what happened exactly?" James sat next to Aven
"Why did you say you were going to water your fish?"
"I don't know i panicked!"
"I felt stupid for stupid for saying that and Oscar saw me and we talked and Sirius saw us and he was like 'i was about to help you water your fish but it seems like you already have some help' and he just left" Aven explained
The three friends look at each other knowing that Sirius was jealous. They mentally sighed at the girl's obliviousness.
"Why are you being so weird this past few days?" Remus questioned the girl
"Yeah why do you always freak out every single time Sirius talks to you?" Peter added
"I don't know" Aven lied
"I guess i've just been so stressed out with the tournament"
"Yeah okay" James nodded along even though he knows that she's lying

Sleep. The one thing Aven can't do. She felt guilty for being distant with Sirius. Aven woke up at 5:30 due to her not actually sleeping. After getting ready quietly, Aven closed the door of her dorm before walking downstairs bringing her favorite book. After taking one last step,there she saw Sirius on the couch.
"Padfo-"
"What did you need to water your books now?" Sirius scoffed walking away but Aven grabbed his wrist
"Padfoot i'm sorry"
"What did i do Ave? Did i do something wrong? Why do you always walk away every time i talked to you?" Sirius asked hurt filling his voice
"You didn't do anything wrong, i've been so stressed out with the tournament and i just didn't know what i was doing. I'm sorry" Aven told him, she didn't technically lie but she didn't tell the truth either
"Why were you talking to Oscar? Not that i want to control your friendship i mean you can be friends with anyone you want it's not about jealousy too i ju-" Sirius rambled
"Padfoot slow down" Aven calmed the boy
"I was talking to him because he found me, he told me about his boyfriend and we just talked" Aven explained
"Oh he's gay?" Sirius asked dumbfounded
"Yeah" Aven smiled
"Well good for him" Sirius smiled
"Why didn't you just tell me that you were stressed out?" Sirius asked softly grabbing her hand
"I didn't want to be a burden" Aven sighed
"Ave you're never a burden okay? You will never be a burden" Sirius hugged her
"Okay" Aven hugged him back,relieved that her and Sirius are back to normal
The two talked in the common room watching the sky slowly lit up. They didn't even realized that it was already 7am.
"Holy shit" James gasped which startled the two
"Merlin James" The two of them said
"They're back to normal" Peter smiled
"YES!" Remus exclaimed
"Yeah well i couldn't help but miss the boy" Aven smirked
"He's too pretty" Aven winked at Sirius
"Wait did you just flirt with me?" Sirius asked shocked that Aven is flirting with him again after two weeks of not flirting with him
"Ave did you just flirt with me?" Sirius stood happily
Aven just shrugged and walked away
"AVE DID YOU JUST FLIRT WITH ME?" Sirius ran to her following her to her dorm
"They're a step closer to becoming a couple" James cheered
"Yeah they are" Remus smirked
"We need to make a plan" Peter told them
"Operation AS?" James asked with a smirk on his face
"Operation AS" The two agreed
