Sirius Black, You've Met Your Match!
Chapter 1 - - - Meet the Champs
Maria Ravenwood was a pretty girl with long, brownish-black hair and sparkly green eyes. She was one of the most popular girls at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She and her friends were getting ready to start their 5th Year. Speaking of friends...
"Where the heck are they?" Maria snarled, looking at her watch and tapping one booted foot impatiently. "They said we'd meet outside the Hogwarts Express!"
"Maria! Sorry I'm late!" It was Noel Jaden Potter, one of Maria's best friends. She was followed closely by her brother, James Potter.
"Noel, where were you?" Maria said. "I've been waiting here forever!"
Noel flipped her black hair out of her face, staring at Maria with wide blue eyes. "It wasn't my fault, Maria. It was James. He woke up late." she rolled her eyes. "So, where's Lily and Jenna?"
"Not here yet."
"PRONGSIE!" a voice called. It was Sirius Black. Their friends, Remus Lupin and Troy VanArc, were lagging behind.
Maria and Neol stifled annoyed sighs as the guys came over.
"Why, oh WHY did your brother have to be James Potter?" Maria whispered to Noel, who giggled.
"Jamsie! Long time no see!" Sirius said happily. "Oh?" he turned his eyes to Noel and Maria. "Hey, Neol. Who's your pretty friend?"
Maria pursed her lips, and Noel giggled again. She was used to the guys now, since they spent so much time at her house because of James. "Sirius, Remus, Troy, this is my friend, Maria Ravenwood. She's also a fifth year."
"Hi." Troy and Remus said in unison.
"Helllloooo.." Sirius said, wiggling his eyebrows and giving Maria a roguish wink.
Maria raised her eyebrows and shot a look at Noel. "He thinks he's a ladies' man..." Noel whispered to her friend.
Maria gave Sirius a devilish look. "Is that right?" she murmured. "Well, two can play at that game!" she nodded at Troy and Remus. "Hey, guys..." then she smiled slyly at Sirius. "Hellooo, Sirius..."
He smiled at her. "Say, Maria, haven't I seen you someplace before?"
"Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore." she returned quickly.
Sirius narrowed his eyes. He decided to try again. "You're so beautiful. You know, I'd go to the end of the world for you."
Maria grinned crookedly. "But would you please stay there?"
Everyone burst out laughing. Remus nudged his friend and whispered, "Sirius Black, I think you've met your match!" Troy laughed and nodded. Sirius only stared at Maria.
"Oh!" Noel pointed. "The train's leaving. We should go! I'll betcha Lily and Jenna are already on board." she grabbed Maria's arm and pulled her away.
Sirius, James, Troy, and Remus watched them walk off, then followed slowly.
"Padfoot, Padfoot, Padfoot..." Troy shook his head, laughing softly.
"Noel! Maria! We're in here!" it was Lily Evans and Jenna Carlson, their other friends.
The door to the compartment opened, and Maria strode in, heels tapping briskly. Noel followed, grinning.
"Where were you guys?" Maria cried. "I was waiting out there forever! And then that insanely annoying Sirius Black came along and-"
Just then, the door slid open adain. The Mauraders strutted in, looking smug.
Maria frowned and faced them. It was no surprise that Sirius Black and James Potter were leading them. She threw herself into a seat by the window.
Sirius walked over, gesturing to the spot next to her. "Is this seat empty?"
"Yes, and mine will be, if you sit down." Maria responded instantly.
Sirius rolled his eyes, grinned, and sat down anyway. Contrary her snappy response, Maria did not move.
"What are you doing here, Jamsie?" Noel asked. "Isn't there some other poor souls you guys can bother?"
"No, everywhere else is full. And anyway," he whispered to his sister, "Old Padfoot seems to like bothering Maria very much!" they looked over at Maria and Sirius.
"So, baby, what's your sign?" Sirius asked smoothly.
"Do not enter." Maria smirked.
Meanwhile, Troy was talking to Jenna. They were getting along pretty well. James left his sister to talk to Lily, and Remus moved over to make conversation with her.
Which left Maria and Sirius stuck together. Both stared at the other with a look of smug confidence in their eyes. They were so much alike it was scary.
(Sirius Black, you've met your match,) he thought to himself.
a/n: MWAHAHAHAHAHA! Don't you love it? There just aren't enough Sirius/OC stories around. They're all James/Lily. . Thus-my story. I hope you guys like it! Please review!
Sorry, everyone. Looks like I accidently deleted chapter 2, so I have to put it here. feels like an idiot
Chapter 2 - - -Birds of a Feather
After a long train ride, they finally arrived at Hogwarts. Lily, Noel, Remus, Troy, Jenna, and James were finally sick of Maria and Sirius fighting.
"Arrrgh, I cannot stand you, Sirius Black!" Maria shrieked, flouncing out of the train and onto the shadowy platform.
Sirius watched her walk. "Your body is like a temple," he said, grinning widely.
Maria spun around. "Yeah, well, there are no services today!" she said, sticking out her tongue at him.
Noel, Lily, and Jenna giggled and ran to catch up with her.
"Wow, he really likes you!" Lily exclaimed. "James was telling me so."
"How? He's never talked to me before. I just met him and Troy this year. A couple of hours ago, in fact." Maria said, frowning.
"But you already knew James and Remus." Noel interrupted.
"...how did you know I knew Remmie?" Maria asked swiftly, turned her piercing emerald gaze on her best friend.
"Uh-well, you said you just met Sirius and Troy this year, so, ah, I assumed you already knew Remus." Noel stammered.
Maria relaxed. "That's right."
Jenna turned the subject back to Sirius. "So, Maria, what do you think of him?"
"Who?"
"Oh, gods, Maria! Sirius!"
"Oh. Him." she blushed. "Erm...well, he's cute."
"Aaaaaaand...?" Lily smiled.
"And furiously annoying!" Maria screeched. "I cannot stand him! I hate his guts!" she stomped off in the direction of the Great Hall, leaving her three friends behind.
"Well...it was worth a shot." Noel shrugged. She, Lily, and Jenna walked slowly after their friend.
"Hey, Lily! What was that all about?" It was James. He was striding towards the three girls, Sirius and Troy in tow. Apparantly, they had seen Maria's little outburst. Whether they heard it reamined to be questioned.
"Oh, nothing...just Maria having another fit." Lily answered, smiling at James and tossing her firey red hair over her shoulder.
"Ah, I remember when we hated eachother." James mused, wrapping Lily in a hug. "We were just like Padfoot and Maria..." he glanced over at Sirius, but he was too busy looking around to see or hear anything.
"Hey," he said suddenly, "there's Maria. Moony's with her. Hmmm...I need a line..."
James, Lily, Troy, Jenna, and Noel laughed. This just kept getting better and better. James, Troy, and Remus knew from experience that Sirius would go to any lengths to get the girl of his dreams.
Remus had his arm around Maria, who was pouting.
"But Remmie...! I don't wanna!" she cried.
"Shhh, now...just do it, ok, Mia? For me?"
"Alright, Remmie. For you. But trust me when I say this - Sirius Black is gonna get much more than he bargained for!"
As they approached the group, Maria slinked over to stand next to Sirius. She smirked at him, and he leered devilishly back.
"Hey, Sirius." she wiggled her eyebrows at him. "So...my dorm or yours?"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise. That was the exact same line he had been about to use! So he said the only thing that popped into his head. "Both. You go to yours and I'll go to mine."
Maria grinned and started to reply, but someone interrupted. "What are you all doing out here? The feast is about to begin!"
"Oh! Professor Dumbledore!" Jenna cried. "We were just...um...well...Sirius and Maria...they...er..."
"Yes, I heard Mr. Black and Miss Ravenwood's little discussion. And Mr. Lupin, too." Dumbledore smiled, his eyes twinkling.
Maria's cheeks flushed behind her makeup, and even Sirius looked a little embarrassed. But Dumbledore didn't notice, he simply continued speaking. "I suggest you head down to the Great Hall. It just wouldn't do if the Gryffindor prefect and their friends were absent from the feast."
"Of course, sir." Noel and Remus, the Prefects, replied in unison. The group followed the professor into the hall.
"Wow, we missed the Sorting." Troy said.
"I didn't think we took that long," Jenna added.
They walked over to the Gryffindor table, ignoring Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape as they passed the Slytherins. Those two were the most annoying people in the whole school, at least in the Mauraders' opinion anyway. Not that the girls thought much of them, either.
"Crash and burn, Malfoy!" Lily snapped before he could say anything to her. He turned instead to Maria, who he knew would listen, because she loved insulting him so much.
"I finally have my security against you, you filthy mudblood." he held up his wand.
Maria's green eyes floated over to him, amused. He was talking about their secret duel last year. Sadly, it had been a draw, although Maria was shot down by Snape, Lucuis's second, having already taken out Lucius himself. She smirked, slamming her boot down on the bench next to him. "That's your security! Well, this is my boot, son, and it will fit up your ass with the proper amount of force!"
Sirius burst out laughing. Dumbledore turned to see what was so funny. Sirius merely shrugged, a look of complete innocence on his face.
Noel lagged back to walk with Maria. "What did you say to Malfoy?" she whispered excitedly.
"I told him the same thing I tell everyone," Maria grinned. "Basically, just to shove off."
"Yeah, but you have a certain way of telling people to 'shove off!'" Noel giggled as she scooted back up to walk with Remus.
Maria smiled and rolled her eyes, knowing that Noel was right. Aside from being known as one of the most popular girls, she was also known for her temper and sharp-tongue. It had landed her in Dumbledore's office more times than one in her first years at Hogwarts.
"Where you going?" a voice whispered, and Maria felt herself being pulled into someone's lap. Then, quite suddenly, she found herself staring up into Sirius's gleaming blue eyes.
"What'd you do that for?" Maria whispered furiously.
He shrugged. "You kept walking. You didn't hear us calling you." he lifted her into the seat next to him.
Maria heard giggling from down the table. It was Lydia Patil and Diane Brown, not to mention Lily, James, Jenna, Tory, Noel, and Remus. Face burning, Maria turned to listen to Dumbledore's announcements.
"As usual, no students are permitted to go into the Forbidden Forest. Also, this year, no one, I repeat, no one is to go anywhere near that Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade this year. People seem to like to go play around it. We can't have anyone doing that..." he trailed off. Maria and Remus exchanged a secret look. "Alright, now, bedtime for students. Off you go."
Maria walked up to the Gryffindor Tower with her friends, all happily discussing their first night back.
"See you guys in the morning!" Jenna called to James, Remus, Troy, and Sirius as Lily, Noel, and Maria waved.
"It's been a great day, don't you think?" Lily asked as they climbed into their four-poster beds.
"Sure, of course it was a great day. You didn't have to wait forever for your best friends, only to find out that they were already on the train! Do you know how much my hair got messed up?" Maria sniffed.
Noel rolled her eyes. "Sure, Maria. I'm glad to be back, though, even if my dumb brother is here with me."
"He's not so bad." Lily protested. Jenna and Maria giggled. "Oh, please! You two can't say anything! Jenna, you seemed to be getting along great with Troy!"
They collapsed into another fit of giggles. Finally, they shut out the lights. And as Maria pulled the fluffy blankets over her head, she couldn't help but think that she couldn't wait to see Sirius tomorrow.
