Sirius found that the more and more time stretched on, the more and more irritated he became. Even at small things, like other students in his way as he tried to exit the Great Hall that evening. How long had it all gone on? Stupid stubborn Evans. Stupid messed up James. Stupid him, for causing the whole mess. Once in the Entrance Hall, Sirius breathed a sigh of relief as the crowd dispersed slightly and he made his way across the large foyer

Lily heard a decidedly male voice calling her name, and she was pretty sure she knew who it was. Chancing a glance behind her, her suspicions were confirmed: Sirius Black was darting in her direction, probably in another attempt to force her into an unwanted conversation. Pretending not to hear him, Lily started walking faster towards the huge Marble Staircase at a pace that resembled a jog, realizing that speeding up had probably given her away, but not thinking about it at the moment when there were more important things, like escape, on her mind.
Almost floored by the girl's reaction, Sirius concluded that the only way this was going to happen, that he was going to talk to her and she would stop being so bloody stubborn, was if Evans didn't keep ignoring him, but he reasoned that it would be difficult to get her to stop. Because she was ignoring him.
He growled a bit and made his way towards her, trying to figure out something to get her attention. "We have to talk," he said casually enough once he finally was by her side, sliding his hands into his pockets and pretending to have an air of tranquility. "As soon as possible."
Lily made another attempt to quicken her pace and escape him, but it was a losing battle. The boy had much longer legs than she did, and she might as well give up now. "I can't imagine what we'd talk about," Lily replied coldly, staring at the books under her arm and not at the boy who was following her. She'd liked Sirius once. Trusted him once. Hell, she'd dated him once, which James was probably still unaware of. But ever since she found out that James had been sleeping with him while he was seeing her... well, needless to say, their relationship had deteriorated considerably.
