A/N: I realize how short this is. However, this was a story I promised to write for a friend long ago. Katie, I hope you enjoy it.
A Sirius Affair
By Lily_Potter
Sirius Black walked down the hallway of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry smiling. This would not be such an uncommon occurrence, except for the fact that students were edging up against the wall as he passed, and running their fastest in the opposite direction that Sirius was heading to. Everyone in Hogwarts School knew that if Sirius began to smile he was looking for a new victim to play a prank on, and if the smile happened to land on you, you should just pray to whatever God you believe in, and head for the nearest room with a locking door. Not that it held him out, mind. Once Sirius got it into his head to play a prank on you, a locked door would only hold him off for a few minutes, and if you did have the good fortune to get into a room with a locking door AND a window you could jump out of, Sirius would consider it a bad day, go off with a sad, puppy expression on his face, and torment Peter, who was always an easy victim.
Sirius continued to stroll slowly down the hallway, smiling vaguely at everything and everyone. A suit of armour moved out of his way as he passed and smiled at it, and the armour took off down the hall after he had passed, knocking over several students as it tried to get away. Finally, Sirius stopped at the very end of the hall, and casually leaned against it. By now the hallway was totally clear, and (as Professor McGonagall remarked to Professor Flitwick,) it was amazing how every student got to class early. Except for Sirius, of course, who was still in the hallway. And three others. Sirius leaned up against the stone wall, and one of the large stones that made up the wall moved slightly out, making a kind of chair. Sirius sat in it, and was ejected backwards, through the wall.
He landed in a soft, comfortable kind of room, got up, and rubbed his back and head, which is what he had landed on.
"We either need to get wall to wall carpeting so that we won't land on the stone, or we need to find another way to get in here," he remarked, not to himself, as it seemed at first, but to three others, who had been ejected into the room each from a different wall.
"Well, you have got to admit," said Remus Lupin, a pale short boy with brown hair, "that it is rather handy that you can reach this room from anywhere in the school, so long as you say the right word. I'm all for the wall to wall carpeting idea."
"Maybe a trampoline," said James Potter, a tall, skinny boy with messy black hair.
"No you idiot," snapped Sirius, "How are we going to get it in here?"
"The same way you get the carpeting in here."
"Good point."
"What we should really put in here is a couple of house elves to make food for us."
"Peter, is that all you think about?"
"Umm..."
"Never mind, I don't want to know."
"Sirius, that's all you think about too, so don't bother him."
"You should talk James, half of your intelligent muttering while you're sleeping is about food, and the other is about..."
"Don't say it, don't say it..."
"LILY!" Sirius yelled grinning delightedly.
"You just HAD to say it, didn't you?" muttered James.
"Of course, how else could I bother you?"
"Ummm...just by being in the same room as me?"
"I love you James."
"Sirius, if you don't shut up now, I'm going to punch you ALMOST as hard as Lily punched Snape."
"Ok, ok, sorry. So anyway, what we need to do is go up the astronomy tower, you know, when we have detention. All that we need to do is make a couple of...changes to the tower. Such as...oh, I don't know, falling meteorites that look like they're about to make Hogwarts a big bonfire when they hit, but fizzle out into nothing just before..."
"I'm in. What charm do we use?"
A/N: It gets better, I promise. This is just an intro. Anyway...just review. Please?
