"Pads.... What did you just say?", James asked again.

By seeing the look in Sirius' eyes, Melisende knew that her secret was not a secret anymore.

"Padfoot! I asked you something....For godness sake answer me!", she heard James yell while she was busy staring at Sirius.

Melisende stood up. She looked in Sirius' eyes.

He could almost feel her gaze telling him to stop. Telling him to keep whatever he knew a secret.

The poor Sirius had been conflicted with whose side to take. James was his best mate, but it was not his place to share and besides he had caught on the look Melisende was sending him. So he just did something silly as anyone in his place would have done.

"Oh my god! It's so late....  I'm sorry guys but i am off to bed. I need my beauty sleep", he said as he laughed nervously and practically dashed out of the room.

Remus who had been quiet all this time left behind his mate saying that he was finished studying.

Mel breathed a sigh of releif. She thanked god that he had given Sirius some brains.

"What did he mean Melisende?", she heard a voice hiss, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"What does it have anything to do with you?", she smartly fired back after observing him for a few seconds.

"But what's the problem in telling me?", James asked, clearly not giving up.

"I just can't okay".

"But why?"

"What is it to you and knowing everything?", she yelled, her voice laced with frustration.

"Nothing..... I just want to know.......", he said desperately.

"But why?"

"Don't you get it?"

"WHAT????"

"That i care for you god dammitttt", he shouted loudly.

This quickly shut her up. He cared for her? But why?

James sighed loudly. Running a hand through his hair, he looked at Mel. He knew she won't tell her at least not know. So he let her be.

He sat down on the couch, spreading his arms and closed his eyes.

Melisende who was overwhelmed, quickly started to pack her things. She couldn't stay here. His statement gave her heart hope, hope that everything will be okay, that he would love her back. She didn't need it. She knew it was never going to work. She didn't want to be hurt again.

"Leaving already huh?", James asked her as he heard her shuffling.

She didn't answer back. She just dumped everything in her bag eagerly.

"You know what Melisende, you are gonna tell me yourself, you are gonna tell me all of it and i will make sure of it", he breathed out as he opened his eyes.

He had caught her offguard.

Her body froze as she looked into his eyes. She didn't knew why but all her feelings which she had burried deep down were surfacing.

His voice, his hazel eyes, his messy hair, all were having an effect on her. Maybe because in this past few months she had meet him much more times than she had in her all previous hogwarts years.

And much to her dismay, his sudden interest in her was not doing much good. She had to stop this. She had worked hard to bury her love for him, he just couldn't come and destroy everything like a tornado.

"You know, I'm really looking forward to this summer holidays", he said softly.

Melisende frowned at this sudden change of topic. Why was he telling her this?

James smirked as he realised that she was confused. Well she didn't knew but James here was going to tell her something important though in a indirect way.

"Sirius, Remus and Peter aren't going to be at my house this summer. But i am not sad, because I'm really looking forward to spend time with this special person. Got lots of Mysteries to unfold, lots of secrets to uncover and mainly amend a relation which i should have done ages ago", he said.

This left her even more confused. Who's this special person. Her stomach churned as she felt a pang of jealousy through her.

As his neighbour, she knew that every year the marauders would spend atleast half of their vacations at Potter Mansion. She spend all her life watching them enjoying, pulling pranks, playing quidditch, swimming in their pool, doing everything a teenager would do, while she was locked up in her own house. But she didn't mind. It was better to stay in her room rather than see her parent's face everyhour.

James smiled as he looked at her. He knew she was his weak spot, he knew that he loved her to infinity and finally it was time to make her his. The plan flashed in his mind. He was going to devote all his vacation to Mel, to fix their broken bonds.

"Well see you soon Rowle", he announced as he walked towards the exit. She turned at him upon hearing the adressal.

He gave a last smile and then left.

Left her in the havoc of her emotions again.
