I do not own any of these characters, but I wish I did!
"Dude! Where's my Broom?"
"James I have no clue where your broom is, so stop asking me!" Sirius says with annoyance in his voice.
"Are you completely sure you haven't seen it?" James retorts back with frustration. "Your completely sure!"
"I am completely sure. I haven't seen your broom since you last played on it in your last Quidditch match!" Sirius says, starting to get irritated with this conversation.
"Are you serious?" James says giving up. A smile crosses Sirius' face.
"I'm always Sirius!" Sirius' smile widening.
"Ha Ha very funny." James says with a forced smile on his face. "It's not like I haven't heard that one before."
"Well, have you asked Remy? He might've seen it." Sirius starts to walk a little faster.
"I already asked Remus. He told me to go ask you." James replies.
"Ok, just pretend I never said anything." Sirius mumbles walking up to the portrait of the fat lady.
"Password." The fat lady asks the two boys.
"Owl Droppings" James replies and the portrait opens to reveal a hole in the wall leading them into the Gryffindor common room.
The common room is packed with students, but it doesn't take them long to find their friends. Remus is sitting at the back of the common room reading one of his textbooks. There beside him is Peter playing with his wand like a three year old would play with his rattle. James and Sirius quickly walk to the back table and take a seat.
"So… Remy what are you reading?" Sirius knew what Remus was reading but he couldn't resist making Remus say it.
"Oh…Ehhhh… The Dark Arts by Kingleys Webbing. Why?" Remus says a little distracted because he is reading.
"Oh… It just looked interesting." Sirius says keeping his gaze away from Remus.
Remus looks up from his book and stares at the top of Sirius' head. It was very abnormal for Sirius to say he was interested in any book for the fact that HE DOESN'T READ! It takes a little while longer for James to realize what was said. And when he finally does he shoots a look at Sirius.
"Sirius did… did you just say a BOOK looked interesting?!?!" James looks from Remus back to Sirius. "This is definitely a sign of the apocalypse."
"Shut up Jamie!" Sirius gives James a dirty look.
"Don't call me Jamie! And if this isn't the sign of the apocalypse then it is a sign that you need to go to the Hospital Wing." James says with a worried smile.
"This isn't a sign of anything! I can say a book looks interesting if I want! It isn't like I am going to read it or anything! Drop it!" Sirius gets up from his sit and walks up to his dorm blushing all the while.
Remus and James watch as Sirius leaves the table and jettisons up the stairs. For about a minute, they just sit there and pondering there own reasons for Sirius' outburst. It was one thing for Sirius to yell at them about a book, it was another thing entirely for him to be blushing. Not once in all of the 4 years spent at Hogwarts together had they ever seen Sirius blush or even be embarrassed.
Remus just shrugs it off and blames the lack of sleep for his performance. Sirius lately has been studying late into the night for his O.W.L.'s that is soon to be coming after this term. He realizes that this is a little out of the ordinary for Sirius, considering he rarely studies, but whatever.
James on the other hand gets to thinking. Lately Sirius has been acting a bit abnormal. First of all, Sirius starts paying attention in class, which is something he never did in the past. Sirius and James always copied Remus' notes right before each test so they'd pass. Second thing is Sirius goes all study crazy, which is even more on the psycho side since he's never studied a day in his life. He fully understand Remus studying every night for his O.W.L.'s but Sirius? No. Thirdly, Sirius and the whole "interested in a book" thing, which is definitely a sign that he is becoming schizophrenic or the world is coming to an end, which ever comes first.
"What's got Padfoot's wand in a knot?" Peter asks to no one in particular while still playing with his wand (the one used for casting spells; you dirty minded people).
"He's just having a hard time preparing for his O.W.L.'s." Remus answers with little interest about what's eating Sirius and more interest back onto the book he's reading.
"No. I don't think that's it." James says more to himself then to Remus, who's now sticking is face completely in his book. "There is a reason for his weird behavior and I'm going to find out what it is."
"Whatever." Remus says from the inside of his book.
"You do that." Peter says still fascinated by his wand.
Up in the boys' dormitory, Sirius is sitting on his bed smacking himself profusely. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. How could I have said something so stupid?" He stops smacking himself and stares out into the dormitory; he sees a boy looking at him like he was a complete lunatic.
"What the fuck you staring at you prick?!" Sirius screams at the boy, who then bolts down the stairs.
Sirius sighs and lies down on to his bed. From there he watches the curtains of his four-poster bed sway in the wind coming in from his open wind. He then closes his eyes and an image of a boy pops into his head. The boy just sits there on the edge of the lake watching something in the distance. Maybe it's the squid or maybe it's just some kid making a complete fool of himself. Whichever it is, it didn't matter. Sirius was more interested in the boy sitting serenely by the lake then what he was looking at. The boy with his beautiful light brown hair and mesmerizing brown eyes and extremely soft skin and…
Sirius opens his eyes and looks down at the bulge in his pants. "Shit."
