Chapter two: Pressure

Sirius Black pressed his wand inconspicuously between his left forearm and his left side of his body. He walked casually along the halls of Hogwarts blending in with the crowd. In the distance a group of Slytherin first year girls stood bickering about which Slytherin Quidditch team member was the cutest.

Sirius rolled his eyes as he passed them, mumbling the spell he had been reciting in his head. Behind him girls screamed and broke into chaos as their beautiful hair, that they had spent all morning fixing, changed to gawky Gryffindor colors. A smirk formed on Sirius's lips as he entered his first class of the day, Potions.

Professor Slughorn was already standing at the front of the class. In fact all the students were filling every single chair save for one seat next to his best friend. Slughorn gave him the stink eye as he slid into that very chair. James gave him a smirk and supplied him with parchment and a quill to use in note taking or drawing quirky pictures of Slughorn dressed as a women. Sirius sent James an appreciative nod.

Class went on as normal. Slughorn began with a lecture of the affects of a Babbling Beverage on a person who was unable to speak. It was nothing that caught Sirius's attention. It didn't matter. James was steadily taking notes and wouldn't care if Sirius copied them later. He would return the favor in the next class. It was their usual system.

Sirius's attention was drawn back as Slughorn flipped the mobile chalkboard in a swift movement of his wand. "Pop Quiz." He announced commencing unison of groans among the students. Sirius bit his bottom lip hard knowing this was one quiz he was never going to be able to pass. He desperately glanced at James who gave him a small shrug.

'Oh well,' Sirius thought to himself, 'It's only the first test.' He'd have all year to improve.

"When you finish," Slughorn's irresolute voice announced, "hand them to Ms. Doster for grading." Sirius followed his professor's pointed finger and sure enough in the back of the room sat a small young female. She looked like a displaced student. Had she been there the whole time?

Sirius was no longer worried about the quiz in front of him as he studied the blonde haired women. Something about her held a strange attraction to him. Before he knew it, James Potter was elbowing him in the arm.

"Sirius," He hissed, "We're the only ones left. Let's go." Sure enough, every single student had finished their quiz and handed it in. Without thinking, Sirius grabbed the parchment in front of him and followed James to the back of the room.

"Are you always this quite?" Like it was second nature, Sirius put on his 'I'm flirting with you and I know you will like it' smile. The small rim black framed glasses slipped down to the tip of Alison Doster's nose as she glanced up at Sirius with the most piercing green eyes.

Her lips pursed coolly, "Do you always talk to your superiors this way?"

James handed the women his paper and stepped to the side slightly annoyed he had to wait for his friend to flirt when he could be kissing Lily right now.

"Almost always. Don't feel special at all. I mean, just last week I made a pass at McGonagall. "

That earned him a smile. Pleased with himself, Sirius passed his own parchment to Professor Doster. She glanced down at it ignoring his last comment, "This is blank."

Sirius shrugged, "Probably wouldn't have passed anyways."

Doster's eyes rose, "Way to impress the new professor."

Sirius's nose crinkled, "Don't you mean, professor's assistant?"

James cringed from behind his friend before grabbing a hold of his elbow, "Let's go bloke before you fail at more than just Potions."

"Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Of course! Remus made the potion himself."

James Potter frowned at his mates as all four of them sat in a circle in the middle of the boy's dorms. "Remus? Aren't you supposed to be Head Boy?" This was where it all happened. This room was the starting point of every great prank ever pulled by the Marauders themselves. If these walls could talk to Professors, a thousand more detentions would be issued to these boys.

Remus sighed, "I'm not really helping."

Sirius smacked James in the back of the head, "Are you trying to get him to snitch on us?"

Remus glared, "I may have always been the voice of reason, but I have never once snitched on you. Besides, I am not participating. Just going along to make sure you don't get into trouble."

The messy haired boy's eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers, "Ah! I never realized it before, but you being head boy could definitely work to our advantage."

Remus raised an eyebrow not completely sure what James was hinting at, "Don't get carried away, Prongs."

But it was too late. The wheels were turning in James's mind. "And if the head girl gives us trouble. I'll just withhold sex from her and she will cave instantly."

The boys fell out laughing at James comment making him pout. He didn't like being the butt of the joke. Sirius patted him on the back, "Sorry mate, but you'd actually have to have sex with her first to do that."

James glowered, but the boys ignored him and went about their planning. "I say around midnight we sneak down and pull it off," Peter contributed for the first time since they announced they were doing the prank.

Sirius shook his head, "That's ridiculous. There's no need to wait that long now that Remus is Head Boy. All he has to do is make sure he is doing his rounds near the Slytherin Common Room."

Remus sighed, "I guess I could look the other way if I see you guys."

"Excellent!" Sirius smirked.

Alison Doster's first experience had Hogwarts had been a more than pleasant one. She had grown up in the walls of the castle. To someone born to muggle parents, everyday at Hogwarts was more magical than the next. She experienced things she could have never even imagined as a kid. Alison had been very practical during that time of her life. She devoted hours to studying different subjects, being sure to make sure she came out on top of all her classes. And it paid off. Her first life at Hogwarts had been perfect.

She just wished she could say her current experience was going just as well. She sighed, piling her papers in a stack on her small table, Professor Slughorn had been kind enough to spare in his huge classroom. Part of that was sarcasm. He had seemed more than reluctant in sharing his classroom with her. He had been extremely clear that this was in fact his classroom, his students, his potion materials, and his rules. Alison knew being the new professor wasn't going to be easy, but she never dreamed certain Hogwarts professors would be so cold to her. It must be her age.

Ever since that pesky Daily Prophet reporter wrote a story about her uncle getting her this job, people have been spacing themselves from her. No one even bothered to ask Alison her side of the story. Sure, Uncle Alfie talked to Dumbledore for her. And sure, Dumbledore was a slightly reluctant at hiring someone so young, but Alison was positive her Uncle would have never threatened Dumbledore for her position. She didn't really see what the problem was anyways. She had gone through all the right schooling. She had experience tutoring. Ali felt just because she had done what the others took years to do, in such a short time period, she shouldn't be treated any different. Well, unless they wanted to praise her, of course.

Alison sighed and shoved the rest of the papers aside. A blank on with just a name on the top caught her eye. Sirius Black, now there was a character. Alison had remembered hearing the name once or twice through her last few years of Hogwarts, and bad rumors had always haunted above it. But she couldn't help but feel that he was the first person who had been sort of nice to her since she started this job.

Sirius Black was sitting in Professor McGonagall's chair located behind her big desk. Her office was neatly organized. Not even a single parchment on her desk. He propped his feet up. He just couldn't figure it out. They had all participated. They had all been side by side throughout the entire prank. How could he have been the only one the Slytherin prefect could have seen?

He had a theory as to how. That Slytherin Prefect just happened to Jacob Hensley; the boy whom had spun Sirius his last girlfriend. He was just jealous and knew this was the perfect way to get back at Sirius.

Sirius huffed. He didn't even get to participate in his favorite part. Seeing those goons walk into the great hall covered in green dung while smelling of it as well. James had better have a perfect description for him when they meet up in class. Sirius spun the chair around to face a huge book shelf filled with old hard back books. He had been in here so many times he could probably list them all.

"Mr. Black," A voice drifted from behind him, "How many times do I have to tell you not to sit in my chair?" He was out of in a flash and to the seat across from it.

"I'm terribly sorry, Professor." He knew the drill. This whole thing went a whole lot faster if you just nodded and apologized to everything McGonagall said.

She took her seat while pulling up her glasses that previously hung around her neck, "I almost blame myself for this incident." She sighed opening a drawer and taking out a huge roll of parchment filled with writing. Sirius knew exactly what that parchment said from the very first line to the last. It was every prank he had ever been caught for.

"A full week into school and no trouble from you boys, it was almost too good to be true." Sirius just shrugged, but it didn't matter. McGonagall was busy writing down this incident. "Ok. That's one detention, and minus one trip to Hogsmeade."

Sirius frowned, "That's it?" Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow. "I mean…That's a horrible punishment."

"Mr. Black, if there is one thing I have learned over the last years, punishment does nothing to stop your escapades. One can only hope and pray you will change your ways one day. You are dismissed."

Sirius walked slowly out of the office and down the corridor. Each step he took was leading him closer and closer to History of Magic. It was like walking to his death sentence. Of course, by the time he got there Professor Binns would have probably already lectured himself asleep.

Sirius stuffed his hands in his pockets and began whistling a tune Peter had been singing earlier. He mentally hexed the chunky boy forgetting it stuck in his head. His whistling went flat as he noticed a Slughorn's classroom door propped open. Voices drifted into the walkway.

"I don't think is very appropriate."

Sirius quietly stepped closer to the door so he could see in it without being noticed. Professor Doster stood with her back against the desk while Professor Longwood, the current D.A.D.A. teacher stood on the other side. Sirius immediately recognized the glint in Longwood's eye. It was a glint he had wore himself many-a-times.

"Miss Doster, I sure my attentions were nothing but noble. Your tag was just sticking out of your robes and merely fixed it for you." Professor Doster frowned pushing her back against the blackboard behind her clearly trying to put as much space between herself and the over-sexed dark arts teacher.

"Then why did you blow on my neck?" Professor Longwood let a sly grin slip across his lips.

Something stirred deep in Sirius's stomach as he watched the man, whose class he would be attending shortly, slide his way around the desk like a snake. It took everything Sirius had to keep from waltzing in there and giving a fist right to his face, but he was pretty sure even McGonagall wouldn't be able to save him from expulsion if it came to that. So he took a lighter route. He knocked lightly on the door, but didn't wait for a response before barging in.

"Professor Doster," He paused as the two teachers gawked at him. One giving him a beyond thankful look while the other clenched his jaw in annoyance. Sirius cleared his throat and walk towards them, "I was hoping I could talk to you about that paper, you assigned us."

Sirius made a point to give Longwood the stink eye. There was no need to let him think his actions went unnoticed. Sirius was also hoping Longwood would realize this meant he was on the Marauder's hit list and could be expecting a prank in his near future.

"What paper?" Doster frowned, but quickly realized her mistake. "Oh! Yes, the paper. I always have time to discuss a student's work. If you would excuse us, Professor Longwood."

Longwood looked from Sirius back to Professor Doster before sighing and storming out of the classroom. Doster winced as he didn't bother keeping the door from slamming shut. She brushed her sweaty palms down the front of her black robes.

"Thank you, Mister Black. That was very noble of you, but I trust you will not be speaking of this to anyone?" Sirius frowned setting his books on the desk next to him, "You mean you aren't going to tell Dumbledore?"

Professor Doster forced a small smile. Intimidation was on her lips. "There's no point in that."

"But what he did was boarder line sexual harassment. Completely harassment by my judgment." Sirius studied the small framed girl. That's exactly what she seemed like; a girl playing dress up in a Professor's robes.

She rubbed the back of her neck nervously, "Yes, well. No one would believe it."

Sirius clenched his jaw. One of the many things the Marauders stood for in this school was respect for women. Sure they had pranked many a girls in their time, but never once had any of them mistreated a woman. That was almost punishable by death in their hand book.

"No one would believe it? We would take it to the ministry before letting no one believe us."

Professor Doster's eyes changed as anger flashed across them, "Isn't that exactly what they want?"

Sirius was taken aback by the way her sweet voice changed to hold a more bitter sound. He suddenly remembered Lily's speech about how everyone expected scandal to with draw from Hogwarts' hiring of such a young teacher. He swallowed hard. She was right. Telling would only prove all the rumors and whispers correct. All of this was no more than a catch-22. He sighed rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'm sorry," Doster whispered, "I just…" She hesitated, "its best if no one finds out about this."

Sirius nodded, holding up two fingers in the air, "On my honor."
