They walked out into the hall and again silence.

Ella shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot not sure what to do or say or Merlin she was panicking.

"So I just wanted to clear some things up" he started.

"Oh" she said and nodded slightly
"I need to know what's going on with all of this"

"All of...?"
"Well you and Black the other day and....us"

"There's nothing going on with me and Regulus" she said a bit confused

"You kind of seem to always be with him" he said
"And I just don't want to cause trouble"

Ella shook her head and furrowed her brow
"Fabian I'm sorry if it's seemed that way but...Reg and I are just friends"

"You're -"
"Fucking kidding me" Sirius's voice broke through the quiet hall.

Ella turned quickly to face her friend who had just come through the door.
"Sirius" she breathed out

"You're joking right?" He asked
"You're Fucking joking"

"I'm sorry did I-" Fabian looked between the two utterly confused.
"Shut up" Sirius shouted

"You're actually still messing around with my brother?" He spat.

Ella looked nervously between Sirius and Fabian

"No I never...." Her voice quivered and she felt hit tears prick her eyes.

"Fucking kidding me?" Fabian sighed and walked inside the common room.

"Look what you've done" she yelled at Sirius.
"What I've done?" He laughed
"You did this to yourself"

"No I didn't!" She cried
"I never did anything with your brother" 

"I know that's a lie" he argued
"He's my friend... maybe but that's it"

"Fucking traitor" he said and stormed inside.

Ella felt sick to her stomach as tears streamed down her face.

She slid down the wall and wrapped her arms around her legs. How did this happened?

"El babe?" Marlene's voice made her look up
"There you are" she cooed kneeling next to her

"What's happened?"
"Sirius" she choked out

"He told Fabian that Regulus and I weren't just friends"
"You and Regulus are friends?"

"Kind of....maybe" Ella shook her head
"I don't fucking know"

She began to cry harder and Marlene wrapped her arms around her friend.

"I just want to go to bed"
"Alright then let's go"

November 3rd 1974

Ella stayed in bed for most of the weekend, until practice.

It also happened to be Sirius's birthday.

"I don't want to go" she whined
"You don't really have a choice" Marlene said dragging her out of their dorm.

They headed to the pitch and Ella felt sick to her stomach.

When they arrived she stood in the back sharing a small smile with James.

The boys definitely felt caught in the middle, no more than James.

Gideon addressed the team and talked up their next game against Slytherin.

Ella hated the idea of playing Slytherin.
