Unexpected Things.

''I think I'm going to be sick.'' Alisha Wood said and jumped out of bed panicking.
''Alisha! Good grief woman, calm down!'' Jessica Kate cried out jumping out of her bed and rushing after her to the bathroom.
''Oh Merlin! Why oh why did Joshua have to finish school.'' She moaned hanging over the toilet. Her older brother, Joshua Wood had graduated from Hogwarts last year.
''It's going to be fine.'' Jessica soothed her friend. ''You have the boys who ar-''
''Right! The boys! Merlin, I need to wake them up! They'll oversleep!'' Alisha screeched and ran out of the bathroom.
''ALISHA! YOU AREN'T DRESSED!'' Jessica hollered after her.
''It's the first Quidditch match isn't it.'' Amanda Freiberg stated.
''Yup, Gryffindor against Slytherin.'' Jessica said gloomily. ''Poor boys. Alisha is going to kill them if they're still in bed.''
''I can't see the point why she gets like this.'' Lily Evans, their last room mate spoke up. ''It's only Quidditch.''
''Don't let Alisha hear you say that. Especially not now. She was in Hospital Wing for the last two practise, wasn't she?'' Amanda asked.
''Yeah. She had to let Potter take over.'' Jessica nodded. ''And then there was the holiday last week and now is the match, so she has no idea what Potter has done to the team.''
''God, Potter? They're going to loose now.'' Lily sniffed and then they heard the shouts and screams from the boy's dormitory's. All three girls winced and doors slammed open to hear what the noise is about.
''WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU LOT THINK YOU ARE DOING!'' Alisha screamed as she saw her beaters were still asleep. ''GET UP YOU BLOODY WANKERS!'' She strode over to James Potter's bed and pulled his covers away. She waved her wand and he got kicked out of bed by an invisible force. James groaned and tried to scramble back in his bed but he couldn't get into it.
''Go'way!'' Sirius Black moaned.
''BLACK!'' Alisha barked and strode over to his bed. ''Three seconds!'' She placed her hands on her hips and he just rolled over on his other side. Alisha raised an eyebrow. ''You asked for it.'' She muttered and waved her wand. ''Levicorpus.''
Sirius shot up in the air and shouted loudly as he dangled upside down. His eyes widened as he saw who had woken him up.
''Wood! I'm so sorry, I thou-'' His jaw dropped when he looked at her again even though he was upside down.
''Damn Wood. Looking sexy.'' James whistled from his bathroom and scuttled in it as Alisha whipped around with her wand outstretched. She glanced down and shrugged. She was wearing a skimpy laced tee and man boxers. She glared at Sirius.
''If I let you down, you shall shut your mouth, go to the bathroom, go downstairs, go to the Great Hall and eat and then gather in the locker rooms, Liberacorpus.'' Alisha waved her wand and Sirius dropped to the floor. His mouth was still hanging open as he stared at her.
''Your hair is different.'' He said dumbly.
''It grew Black. Now. Bathroom!'' Alisha barked and pointed at the locked bathroom. She scowled. ''Girls bathroom, follow me.''Sirius stood up obediently and walked after her as she started to the door. ''Oi, Potter. If you are not out of that bathroom in five minutes, you are having it!'' Alisha screeched and stomped to her chasers dorms.
''No problem, Alisha.'' Remus murmured tiredly from his bed. ''I don't mind you coming in my room and screaming and waking me up. No need to apologize.''
''Merlin, Black. You should be happy it was your room I first came into.'' Alisha muttered as she kicked open a door. ''SPINNET, BELL AND JOHNSON! UP! NOW!'' She screamed. ''Agumenti!''
Soon the Alex Spinnet, Drew Bell and Matt Johnson were drenched in water. Leaving Frank Longbottom in a peaceful sleep even though the boys started screaming and shouting in shock.
''Whadda you that for!'' Matt Johnson yelled at the short fifth year. She placed her hands on her hips and her blue eyes sparkled in fury.
''You lot have five minutes to get ready and be in the Great Hall!'' She said and turned on her heel. ''Black.'' She said and Sirius hurried after her not wanting to push her madness further. Alisha turned back and knocked on a door. She pushed it open without hesitation and Darren Coy yelled pulling his jeans up in fast tempo.
''Wood, I-'' He started and then his jaw dropped as he looked at her.
''You better get moving. Three minutes.'' Alisha said threatening and left his dorm. Sirius hurried after her and she put her foot on the girls stairs waiting for him to follow. They walked up the stairs and towards her room. ''Are you girls decent? Male coming in.'' Alisha said through the door and swung it open anyway without waiting. Jessica squealed as Sirius walked in after Alisha.
''Morning ladies.'' He grinned.
''Get out of the shower Evans!'' Alisha shouted on a rampage. Lily busted out of the bathroom about to answer back when two things caught her eye. Sirius standing with a bag of clothes in his hand and Jessica shaking her head wildly gesturing at Alisha who looked on the point of a mental break down. Lily raised her eyebrows at Sirius and pushed past Alisha.
''Bathroom is yours, Black.'' She said and Sirius rushed into it.
''TWO MINUTES BLACK!'' Alisha screeched and pulled on jeans and her Quidditch jersey. She ran a brush through her hair and glanced in Amanda's mirror.
''THREE, TWO-''
''I'm out! I'm out!'' Sirius cried bursting out of the bathroom. His hair was dripping and he had his Quidditch jersey half over his face. Sirius struggled to pull it down whilst pulling on a worn sneaker as well. Alisha went to the door and Sirius finally fell, crashing into her and causing them to tumble out of the door on a heap.
''Black.'' Alisha said dangerously calm.
''Yes, Wood.'' He squeaked.
''I'd appreciate it if you got off me. Any other time and I would be fine, but. We. Have. A. Quidditch. Match. In. An. Hour.'' She growled and Sirius jumped off her with a stupid grin on his face.
''Any other time then, Wood.'' He said coolly and strutted towards the stairs.
''Black.'' Alisha warned him but it was too late and as he stepped onto the stairs they changed into a slide and he slid down the stairs crashing into James.
''Bloody hell, Padfoot!'' James exclaimed and Alisha slid down the banister, jumping off at the end and gracefully landing just before James' face.
''Alright then men!'' She clapped her hands loudly and her Quidditch team straightened up. ''Get to breakfast, you need food down you or you won't be able to play properly. The six boys trooped out of the common room tailed by Alisha who glared at each one that looked back with big eyes.
''She's hot!'' Sirius hissed at James. ''Have you seen her! The brown looks great on her.''
James rolled his eyes and grinned sloppily.
''I'd rather go for red heads.'' He said smoothly and smirked as they sat down at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall.
''I thought her brother was bad, but she is even worse! Like evil incarnated itself into her body, loving to torture us.'' Alex muttered.
''Excuse me, Spinnet?'' Alisha breathed in his ear. Alex yelped and jumped aside.
''N-nothing.'' He grinned toothily. ''Just commenting on how good you look with brown hair.''
''Sure, sure.'' Alisha eyed him warily. ''I was tired of the blonde.'' She said bored and shovelled eggs onto James' plate. ''Eat.''
James gave the eggs a sick look and grinned triumphantly as Alisha did the same to Sirius, and Sirius hated eggs. After that she muttered something and a green slab of something appeared on a plate in front of her.
''What is THAT!'' Sirius said in horror pointing at it.
''Spinach. Eat. Makes you strong.'' Alisha said simply and splattered some on his plate.
''It makes you sick she means.'' James muttered and Sirius snickered causing Alisha to whack the backside of his head.
''Ouch.'' He whined.
''Eat!'' Alisha said firmly grabbing his fork and shovelling food in his mouth. ''Chew.'' She demanded and Sirius chewed on the green shit. ''Swallow.'' Alisha said and Sirius swallowed the foul spinach. He opened his mouth to protest when she stuffed a piece of buttered toast in his mouth.
''Fangs.'' He said with full mouth.
''Just eat. I can't be feeding you the whole time. I have my other men to look after.'' Alisha spat and turned her back on him giving James one last glare.
''No, no! Look, we're eating!'' Darren Coy protested shovelling cornflakes in his mouth. The others copied him and did the same with their breakfast.
''Good.'' Alisha smiled in satisfaction and turned to her own breakfast.

''Okay people. This is it. The big one. The one we've all been waiting for.'' Alisha paced the locker room.
''We're going to win.'' James joined in her speech.
''I know it.'' Sirius added.
''We've got a great team.'' Drew said grinning. Alisha glared at them and at the others who had been miming the speech.
''Cause we have three bril chasers with lethal speed, one keeper with amazing stunts to keep the quaffle out and two cocky beaters who's swings with the bat sometimes could be bigger then their mouths.'' Alisha paused to glare at James and Sirius who were running their hands through theirs hairs cockily. They both froze and grinned sheepish at Alisha. ''Though they are the best beaters in Hogwarts.'' Alisha beamed. ''Unless a certain Potter is looking for one certain red head.'' She added with a scowl at James. Sirius felt a smug grin creep on his face as Alisha didn't have anything negative to say about him. ''And if you, Black, aren't trying to impress the girls with your so-called-muscular-arms.''
Sirius' smug grin got wiped clean off his face. The three seventh year chasers, sixth year keeper and the two fifth year, most cocky, popular and big mouthed beaters cowered under the glare of the small, easily for third year, fifth year.
''And we have the prettiest, fastest, smartest, sharp-eyed seeker in the whole world!'' Darren piped up and Alisha beamed at the sixth year.
''Thanks, darling.'' She said and then started breathing sharply again.
''No worries, Wood.'' James comforted her.
''You're the best captain we've ever had since your brother.'' Sirius said. Alisha frowned.
''She's the only captain we've had since Joshua, idiot.'' James elbowed him.
''Yeah well I mean apart from Wood!'' Sirius scowled at him.
''SHE IS THE ONLY CAPTAIN WE'VE HAD SINCE JOSHUA!'' James cried out and Sirius frowned before scowling.
''Oh, right.'' He muttered.
''Alright, Sirius. You meant well and very sweet of you.'' Alisha smiled at him and Sirius felt his hand running through his hair again. ''Stop trying to impress me, Black.'' Alisha snapped and turned her back on him. ''Now I know why Joshua didn't make him or Potter captain.'' She muttered and grabbed her Nimbus. A sharp whistle sounded and Alisha went pale.
''Here we go!'' Matt said cheerfully.
''I'm going to be sick. Potter, seek for me. Black. You can handle it on your own right? No, someone get another beater.'' Alisha said panicking and turned on her heel.
''Relax!'' Darren cried out and grabbed her arms. He looked her in her eyes. ''You'll be fine, we all will. We'll all win and then celebrate.'' He said calmly.
''Thanks for the confidence.'' Sirius muttered and grinned at her playfully.
''No time for jokes, Black.'' Alisha said sharply, her wits and bravery and cockiness flooding back. ''We have a match to play and if we loose, there will be double practise. No, triple.'' She said and looked at her boys. ''Let's go kick some butt.'' She said and strode out of the locker room onto the match.
''If we loose. I'm going to freak. You guys better score loads and you better keep the Quaffle out of the goals.'' Sirius cried out.
''Damn that woman breathes Quidditch.'' Drew muttered as they formed up behind her.
