Chapter 2: Second Year


"Class is dismissed - not you two, Black and Lupin!"

"Yes, Professor McGonagall?"

"Mister Black, please be quiet."

"Bu-"

"Silence! I couldn't help but notice that you two dropped one of those exploding balls into Miss Umbridge's book bag. I advise you to remove it before the consequences become any more serious than this talk."

"We didn't touch any... balls."

"Sirius Black, how inappropriate! You two are to report here for your detention tonight at seven."

"Professor, you see, Remus and I have a lot of homework to finish... Wait, do that again."

"What?"

"That wave-y thing you did with your hand. Do it again."

"All right."

"..."

"..."

"Freeze!"

"Mister Black, you have no right to speak to me that way! I will not endure this ridiculous conversation."

"Roll up the sleeve of your robe Professor."

"Excus - why?"

"I saw it."

"What?"

"The tattoo."

"I don't have a tattoo!"

"..."

"..."

"Professor, we have to go do our homework."

"Huh! Fine. Dismissed!"


"You are such a liar, Sirius!"

"Remus, shut up, she'll hear us!"

"Do we have to go to detention today?"

"No."

"Why not? She didn't take the punishment back!"

"We have homework!"

"But that was a lie!"

"So?"

"So... she'll know we lied, and then we'll be in even more trouble!"

"Oh, Remmy, I can't believe you haven't caught on. One would think that after a whole year in my company you'd pick up on my sneaky ways."

"Do not call me Remmy. All I picked up on was your lie!"

"Oh Merlin! Do I have to spell it out for you?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Oh, you're ignoring me now? Whatever, I'm still going to tell you. I made her flustered and confused her with my request-"

"What request?"

"Ha, I knew you weren't really mad! I asked her to pull her sleeve up, remember?"

"Okay. What does that have to do with us not having detention?"

"Well you see, dear Remmy, she was so confused by what I said that I'll bet it completely slipped her mind that she had just assigned two second years detention."

"And if it didn't slip her mind?"

"She's ancient, it is a given!"

"..."

"What now?"

"..."

"OW! Why'd you punch me?"

"You can't insult teachers like that!"

"Why not?"

"..."

"Haha, Remmy's a teacher's pet! Oh, don't pout."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Not."

"Too."

"Not."

"Too."

"No-oomph."

"Too. I win!"

"You tripped me!"

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did!"

"Nope."

"Yes."

"Nope."

"Yes."
