Sparks and Electricity

The door of the Transfiguration Class sprang open, causing two first years who passed it to jump, to reveal a very unhappy James Potter and a disgruntled Sirius Black. James was muttering something while Sirius was struggling to put his books back into his bag.

"Great, just great! A detention and we didn't even do anything!" James gestured to emphasize his point.

"Yet." Sirius added, trying very hard to open his bag.

"Yet. Snivellus was going to get it this time! And Peter had to screw it up!"

"James, you sound like me. I'm the whiny one you see? Oh, damn! It's stuck!" he gave up on opening his bag and carrying his books instead. "Where are the others?"

"The Great Hall, I supposed. It's lunch time already."

They stalked down the hallway to the Great Hall. Earlier that day, they had Transfiguration with the Slytherins and Malfoy and Snape started to pick on Peter. Sirius, always the one who'd stand up for his friend, attacked them, followed by James. The result? Well, you heard them.

As they arrived at the Great Hall, half of the Great Hall was empty. On the other end of the Gryffindor table, sat their friends, Peter and Remus, who waved at them to join in.

Throwing himself down, Sirius grabbed a chicken chunk and started eating while James threw his gaze around the table, probably looking for Lily.

"So, how's it going with Professor McGonagall?"

"Not good, Rem. Detention tonight. Pass me the salt, would you?"

Remus smiled and handed Sirius what he asked for. Soon they ate and talked. Peter made a mess with his meal as usual and Sirius, who sat beside him, glared at him. Nothing unusual. Suddenly Remus shot his head up and directed a glare to the person who stood behind Sirius.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my pitiful cousin and his friends. A long day, Remus? Obviously it's hard for you, isn't it? Say, is full moon approaching?" he spat the last sentence rather quietly.

Sirius turned his head and saw a tall, blonde fifth year Gryffindor prefect he knew as Remus' cousin. "Go away."

"Black, why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to be a Slytherin? There's where you'll fit in. Those pathetic pureblooded double-faced snakes will gladly want you."

James was about to throw an insult at him when Remus stood. "Leon, it'd be better if you leave us alone. Please."

The boy named Leon smirked. "Whatever, cousin. It's not like I want to be near the likes of you." With that he strode off, followed by his gang of admirers.

Remus sat back down and sighed. Sirius glared at him. "Why did you let him talk to you like that!"

"I don't want to make troubles with him."

"Why! Because he's a prefect!"

"Sirius!" James hissed.

Remus sighed quietly. "I just don't want to talk about it, okay?"

"Y-y-you are a great p-p-person, Rem." Peter stuttered. He's scared, obviously.

"Thank you." Remus smiled bitterly. "Finish your meal quickly, would you? We have Potions next class."

"With the S-s-s-slytherins."

"You don't have to remind me." Sirius groaned. "Seeing Snivellus' face has a successful effect in ruining my appetite."

"He's not that bad." The words left Remus' lips before he could stop it.

James stared at Remus as if he had grown third head.

"What!" Remus asked irritably.

"No, nothing really. We should go to the dungeon now. Don't want Professor Rott to yell at us."

"As if he needs a reason to do that." Sirius grabbed his bag and let Remus ushered them out of the Great Hall.

Sirius was muttering under his breath once more as they walked back to their dormitory. "This is the worst!"

James nodded in agreement, too exhausted to say anything else. They had spent that night with two teachers for two detentions and least to say, they sapped all of his energy.

Remus was lying on his stomach on his bed, reading a book, while Peter was already snoring like the other boys should.

"How's the detentions?"

"Beyond awful." Was James only reply before he collapsed onto his bed, still fully clothed in his uniform.

Sirius let out a sigh and walked over to take off James' robe and shoes. He put the pillow under James' head and covered him with his blanket. He smiled sweetly before removing James' glasses and put them on the nightstand. By the time he lifted his head, he was faced with a curious looking Remus Lupin.

"What?" he said, totally annoyed.

"You're going to make a very good wife for him, Siri."

Sirius' face was even redder than Remus thought he'd ever be. Stuttering, he croaked out a, "What!"

He shrugged and went back to his bed. Sirius, glad that he dropped the topic, went straight to bed. But he barely had time to sleep as Remus' words kept playing over and over again in his ears.

Sirius was in a horrible mood, James could tell. The detention with McGonagall and Rott, added to the fact that he was never a morning person (and Remus' words last night, but James didn't know that), had made him cranky. People who pissed him off at this kind time would certainly meet their doom. But of course some people just didn't know it, for example Remus' beloved cousin.

He chose that time to show up, accompanied by his gang of fans. "Morning, cousin. How's your day? Not too good I suppose."

Remus ignored him and continued eating his salad, though his face turned a bit red. James tried very hard not to yell at the prefect. He could understand that Remus felt a bit self-conscious but he thought that it's all too much. Peter was struggling very hard to keep his eyes open.

On the other hand, Sirius was not in a state to hold himself. He would've lunged to him and gave a blow right to his face. James had his hand held under the table by Remus but Sirius' wasn't.

When Sirius stood up, Leon was walking to the seat beside his friend. "Hey, Lupin!"

"What is it, Bl-" He turned his head and was greeted with the pumpkin juice showered to his face. In Sirius' hand was an empty mug and he was the one smirking that time, faced by the very stunned Gryffindor boy. The whole Great Hall turned their attention at them.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Leon was too shocked to react. The girls were trying to wipe the juice off of his face while his eyes were still placed on the third year Marauder who's standing before him.

"You … you …"

The others thought he was going to hex Sirius. James stood in anticipation but Leon just stared at him. Seeing the usually smug face now seemed flustered, Sirius had to bit back his laugh. Oh, the satisfaction. This was going to light his day. He bowed his head mockingly at him then placed his mug on the table.

James took Sirius' hand. "We're done here. Let's go."

Nodding, Sirius picked his bag up then walked with James out of the Great Hall with Remus and Peter in tow. As they were out of sight, Remus started to laugh.

"Wow, I've never seen him looked like that! Siri, you're great!"

"Well, punching him would be nice too." James laughed, patting the smaller boy's shoulder who gave him a smile.

"I've been longing to do that since … forever! Your cousin is a pain, you know. Patience won't work for him." Sirius folded his arms over his chest.

"Patience is a virtue."

"Never been mine."

"No kidding. Hey, are we going to Hogsmeade today?"

"Of course." James said cheerfully.

"G-g-guys, you don't think he'll get back at us?" Peter started to stutter. He could feel cold sweat all over his back.

"Maybe. Are you scared, Petey?" Sirius looked at him.

"A-a-a little."

"Sounds big to me."

"Sirius. Pete, it's okay. We can't let him do whatever he wants to us, okay? We'll be fine."

"Are you … sure, James?"

"Of course I'm sure! Come on, we'll have fun!"

Leon was in his dorm room, pacing back and forth. "I can't believe this! That Black boy threw pumpkin juice at me!"

"Yes, and you did nothing. You just stood there like a complete idiot." Edward, his best friend said from behind his book.

"Will you pay attention to what I'm saying! Stop being such a nerd! Remus is enough!"

Smiling, he closed his book. "What makes you think I'm not paying attention to you? Because I called you idiot?"

"You don't have to repeat that." He plopped himself down on his bed and looked at Edward. "We'll get back at him."

"We? What's with the 'we' here?"

"Come on, Ed. We're friends for so long-"

"Too long." Edward muttered under his breath, which was completely ignored by his friend.

"You have to help me to get back at him."

Edward sighed. Yes, they had been friend for long, long enough for him to know Leon's childish acts when something didn't go his way. He was brought up in a rich family, being the only son, he had got everything he wanted. That's why he never knew how to say sorry or to be defeated. Sirius' act in the Great Hall earlier that day was like a slap to his face. Edward personally thought he was going too far with Remus to insult him like that and he deserved what Sirius did to him but his words fell into deaf ears.

"What are going to do to him?"

"You'll see."
