Chapter 1

It was a fairly ordinary London afternoon all things considered. The weather was neither too warm nor too cold, and a ghost of a breeze was making the early autumn leaves dance along the pavement in front of 12 Grimmauld Place. The ancestral house of the Black family was invisible to the muggle eyes outside, and its location was hidden from other witches and wizards due to a fidelius charm. Overall it was a perfect place to hide a secret organization such as the Order of the Phoenix, a group of individuals whose sole aim was to help bring about the destruction of Lord Voldemort.

Today some select members of the Order were hard at work in Grimmauld Place library searching its vast tomes for a spell to break another spell. Namely, the one which was keeping the portrait of Mrs Black attached to the entrance hall wall. For the most part Mrs Black spent her 'life' inside her portrait simply sleeping, except for whenever anyone came into or out of the entrance to the house. She would instantly wake up and hurl abuse at whoever had dared to step into her house. Each time it took considerable effort to quieten her again.

Her shrieks had started to have a visible effect on some of the more permanent residents of Grimmauld Place. This could possibly explain how Sirius Black found himself among the Order members who were currently researching in the library. He had never been too fond of books, especially when he had been a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However at the moment he seemed to have done about twice as much research as any other person in that room, if the pile of books in front of him were any indication.

There was a simple explanation for this: he was desperate.

However even that could not deter his inner prankster from distracting him when he came upon a highly intriguing spell in one of the books. Really, the words 'discover if someone you know is a virgin!' were far too much for the ex-marauder to resist.

If anyone else had bothered to drag their eyes away from their own books they would have seen a decidedly wicked grin spreading across Sirius Black's face. The twinkle in his eye could rival Dumbledore himself!

Sirius Black looked up from his book to glance around at the other people who were sitting in the library; he was hunting for his 'prey'.

Firstly his eyes came upon Nymphadora Tonks who was sitting way too close to a priceless ornate vase in his opinion. However, he had once caught her in a compromising position with Oliver Wood and so knew that casting it on her would be pretty pointless.

To her left was Remus Lupin. He immediately discarded him as a target as Sirius himself had been in a compromising situation with him one, or more, times before and thereby knew that he wasn't the perfect victim either.

He then decided to consider the others sitting at his own table, although it was harder to do that inconspicuously. To his right sat Molly Weasley whom he quickly crossed of his mental list if the number of children she had was any indication. Across from her sat 'Mad-Eye' Moody whom Sirius also discarded as a possible target. He simply did not want to know.

That left one solitary individual sitting in a corner at the back of the room in between two bookshelves, his (overlarge in Sirius' opinion) nose in a dusty tome. Sirius' choice was so perfect that he almost felt Goosebumps form along his skin in excitement.

Severus Snape.

Ever since they were eleven years old Sirius and his friends had delighted in tormenting Severus in any way they could conceive of. However, Severus love life (or lack thereof) was a topic of much debate amongst anyone who had ever met him. Nobody had never even seen Severus show any interest in any woman or man ever. It's practically impossible that Severus, at his age, could be a virgin. However considering the facts at hand it was not completely impossible, just improbable. And if it turned out that he was in fact a virgin... Sirius had to slap a hand over his mouth so that he would not burst out into hysterical laughter. Yes, Severus Snape was the perfect choice.

Now that Sirius had chosen his 'victim' he needed to come up with a method to cast the spell without Snape noticing him. He obviously couldn't cast it at his own table; Moody with his 'constant vigilance' would notice a wand being drawn in his vicinity and would naturally draw attention to him before he could cast the spell. However, there were some bookshelves near Snape that provide the perfect cover and allow him to keep Snape in sight while he casted. Sirius quickly finished his book and made his way over to the shelves as if about to collect some more books.

Once hidden by the shelves, he slipped his hand into his pocket and grasped his wand, focusing on Severus Snape. Under his breath he muttered the words 'Aperio Sanctimonia'.

Suddenly a humming sound descended upon the back corner of the library. The heads of everyone in the room swivelled round to stare, whilst Snape just looked uncharacteristically confused.

Then, all of a sudden, Snape was glowing red. Cherry red.

End of chapter 1

A/N: This is a rewrite of chapter 1. I'm sorry that I left this story alone for so long. I stopped writing for ages but just took it back up. You can expect a new chapter sometime soon.
