Victoria grinned at his praise and waved at Phantom. The other girl failed to even acknowledge her existence, however. She noted their hug and felt a shard of jealousy stab into her heart. Victoria was a possessive, fiercely loyal person. It was simply her nature to be suspicious of any female friends of her crushes. She wasn't used to friends, male or otherwise. As a child, she had been made fun of for her untamable, frizzy mane and bossy personality. Other children shunned her, ignored her, even bullied her. She'd gotten used to it after awhile, learned to ignore them. But she'd be lying if she said it didn't hurt every time.

The two other humans were obviously busy, so she reached up and scratched the dog behind the ears. She was more of a cat person, but it wasn't like she hated dogs. They were nice to her, at least.

"You look tired, Phan," He remarked, reaching around to stroke Jerome's head as well, accidentally on purpose brushing Victoria's fingers as he did. The dog wagged his tail. Sirius had always felt a connection to dogs. His own Patronus was a dog, after all.

[Dream of Eternity]

Victoria felt a jolt of electricity surge through her as his fingertips brushed hers. A slight blush rose on her cheeks as she realized her reaction to his touch had been plainly broadcasted with her facial expression, and she schooled her features into an expression of calm indifference. "Wow, he really likes you." She observed. The dog's reaction to him was it's reaction to her times 100. She wondered if he would catch the double meaning of her words, and looked at him from under her lashes.

jerome growled at the girl he didnt really like strangers. Jerome's growls had translated to meaning "dont touch me i dont trust you yet." Phantom nodded "ya i havent slept for 4 days" she said. "I've been having nightmares again sirius" she had a bad past with her parents that put a made up curse on her.

[Dream of Eternity]

Victoria withdrew her hand at the sound of the dog's growl. No matter how much she longed to touch Sirius's hand again, she wasn't going to rush getting her fingers bitten off. "When I have nightmares I usually take a Dreamless Sleep Potion" She offered helpfully.

"I'm sorry to hear it." He said sincerely. His head jerked towards Jerome when he growled. "He's a little shy." Sirius explained. "That's a good idea. You ought to try that." He said. It seemed such an obvious solution, he wondered why he hadn't thought of it himself.

[Dream of Eternity]

Victoria nodded, folding her hands in her lap. "I can see that." She regarded the dog warily. At his second comment, she nodded. "It really worked for me when-" She abruptly cut off, snapping her mouth shut. Inside she was yelling at herself. 'Curse it Victoria, why'd you almost give that away?'

[hotnoodle101]

Sirius narrowed his eyes, immediately intrigued. "When what?" He asked.

[Dream of Eternity]

Victoria shook her head, closing her eyes. "It's nothing. You wouldn't care, you might even laugh at me. I- I just don't like talking about it." She took a deep breath and tried to suppress rising bad memories of 4th year.

[hotnoodle101]

He took her hands. "Why do you think I would laugh at you? I wouldn't do that." He said.
