"Have you ever considered slowing down while you're eating?" Sirius asked with his eyebrows raised as the blonde girl across from him wolfed down her dinner so fast one could assume she hadn't ate in months. Gulping down the clump of half-chewed food collected to the left side of her mouth, Usagi stuck her tongue out at him.

"Never," she replied, turning back to her food. Sirius shook his head and started on his own plate. Calm set over them for a moment, but it didn't last long. A pea sailed across the table and pegged Sirius right between the eyes. Usagi celebrated a silent victory as she continued to eat at her normal pace, pretending nothing happened. Sirius growled and glared at her from his seat, which caused Lily to automatically slide away from Usagi.

The rabbit blinked as a pea bounced off of her nose and glanced up at Sirius to see him sporting a triumphant grin. A glint of challenge sprung into her eyes as she reached for the butter. Collecting a spoonful, she made to butter her biscuit with it. Once Sirius looked away, she took aim with her silverware catapult and sent a glob of butter right at the side of his face. His eyes widened as it hit him and Usagi snorted with mirth.

Calmly, Sirius wiped the mess away with a napkin. His eyes fell on the gravy and they lit up with an idea.

"Here, Usagi, why don't you have some gravy?" He said politely, standing and leaning over the table to pour some on her food. His hand jerked purposely and splashed the substance all over the front of Usagi's robes. Her mouth dropped open but she quickly closed it as Sirius sat back down. She quickly targeted her next weapon and stood.

"That's very kind of you, Sirius. Here, have some potatoes!" She submerged her hand in the bowl and launched a handful of mashed potatoes at Sirius. The clump splattered right in his face, but he quickly swiped it off and jumped up. Grabbing a handful of the nearest food, he threw it at Usagi, who jumped to the side to avoid it. It connected with the back of a boy's head that was sitting one table over and his head lurched forward into his soup.

The boy sat in shock for a moment before he turned with his bowl of soup and splashed it all over several Gryffindors sitting near Sirius. From there, it progressed in to an all out food fight, but two of the participants still concentrated on hitting each other. Usagi hopped over the Ravenclaw table and launched a handful of pasta over her shoulder at Sirius. He ducked, and it landed on top of a first year's head.

Usagi stopped on the other side of the Hufflepuff table, jumped into a seat, and slid under the table with a nearly-full bowl of soup. Sirius jumped onto the table and down on the other side, preparing to cream the rabbit under the table, but she had popped up on the opposing side and thrown the soup all over him. She stood up and laughed before running off down the crowded aisle.

Sirius growled and snatched a goblet filled with ice from the table next to him. With a sinister grin, he set out to locate Usagi. Meanwhile, the teachers were trying to restore order, to no avail.

The blonde bunny slipped up towards the teacher's table as stealthily as possibly, looking around for any surprise attacks. She got nailed in the back of the head with a stray pork chop and cursed. As she turned to repay the culprit, she came face to face with Sirius, who grinned broadly and tugged on the collar of her robes, dumping the whole goblet of ice into the opening.

The whole room silenced as Usagi emitted an ear-piercing shriek and started shaking her robes. Cubes of ice dropped to the stone floor with every frantic flutter, and Sirius collapsed in a nearby seat, laughing his head off. Swallowing all self-dignity, Usagi pulled her collar out again and stuck her arm beneath her robes, trying to dig out the ice that had gotten stuck around her cleavage.

One of the professors, the head of the Gryffindor house, approached the two and cleared her throat. Sirius looked up, startled, and gulped so hard that it made his Adam's apple wiggle. Usagi continued to dance around like an idiot, oblivious to the woman. That is, until she grabbed a hold of her arm and made the blonde freeze, figuratively.

"MissMoon, kindly end your display." The woman reprimanded.

"Yes ma'am." Usagi grumbled, pulling her arm away.

"Now, since the two of you seem to take so much pleasure in creating chaos, it's only fair that you two clean up after yourselves. Both of you will restore this hall to its pristine perfection without the aid of magic before you turn in tonight." The woman said with a sarcastic-like pleasant smile. The headmaster rose from his seat.

"As for the rest of you, off to bed. Dinner is over for tonight." He announced. The students grumbled and slowly began to congregate with their houses. They wandered off to bed, Lily sending an apologetic glance at Usagi before leaving to the Gryffindor commons. The teachers dispersed as the caretaker arrived with rags, mops, brooms, and cleaning agents. Usagi and Sirius glared at each other, and then surveyed the materials with a high level of loathing.

"I would help you, Usagi, but I think Quigley is going to be checking in on you guys. Sorry," the caretaker apologized.

"It's okay Mr. Brown, we can handle it." Usagi replied with a smile. The caretaker returned the gesture and moved out of the room slowly. Usagi shot another contemptuous glance at Sirius before snatching up a broom and getting to work. Sirius joined her, grumbling in protest.

"I don't know why you're so mad at me, you started the whole thing." He said, and frowned as the broom in his hands smeared the mashed potatoes on the floor.

"Yeah, but if you hadn't poured ice down my robes we could've gotten away with it." Usagi shot back, tossing a pork chop into the trashcan.

"You didn't have to have a fit, it was just ice." Sirius retorted.

"It was cold!" Usagi yelled, swinging her broom at his head. He ducked and saved himself a concussion while Usagi turned back and began cleaning again. "I can't believe Quigley won't let us use any magic."

"I know. We're going to be here all night." Sirius complained, shoveling the heap of mashed potatoes into the trash with his broom.

"Yeah. Truce?" Usagi proposed, copying his idea and scooping the heap of food into the garbage.

"For now," Sirius agreed. With another remorseful sigh at the pandemonium before them, they set to work on cleaning at full speed. Despite all the team effort, cooperation, and several sneaked cleaning spells, it took them quite a long time to clean the place up completely. Quigley marched back into the room at the instant the two were finished, which made them both share a look of surprise.

"You've done a...mediocre job. Then again, what else could I expect from you two? You may go to bed; I expect to see you in my class tomorrow morning." Quigley added before turning on her heel and leaving. Usagi looked like she was ready to faint.

"No way! She wants us in class tomorrow? It has to be three or four in the morning, we'll never get enough sleep." She cried indignantly. Sirius shook his head.

"Come on, let's go. Complaining about it isn't going to change it." He said, walking off. Usagi ran after him.

"Don't pretend like you're not mad too!" She argued. Sirius didn't answer, which made Usagi even angrier. Silently fuming, she followed him all the way to the Gryffindor commons, where they found Lily sitting next to the portrait fast asleep. Usagi bent down and shook her friend awake.

"Hey," Lily greeted, stifling a yawn and rubbing her eyes. "I figured you'd need the password."

"Yeah, what is it?" Usagi asked, helping her to her feet.

"Potatoes," Lily said, grinning as both Usagi and Sirius groaned. The portrait swung forward and the trio entered the empty commons area. Sirius turned and climbed the stairs to the boys' dormitory without as much as a good night. Lily raised an eyebrow.

"You guys fight again?" She asked. Usagi nodded and headed towards the girls' dormitory without an explanation. Shaking her head, Lily followed. Usagi sprawled onto her four-poster bed and placed a pillow over her head, letting out a muffled yell into the cushion. "You guys are adorable together." Usagi lifted the pillow from her face and stared at her best friend in disgust.

"Adorable? As if," she said, turning onto her side and pulling the covers over her without changing into her pajamas.

"Then why are you always trying to get his attention, Usagi?" Lily asked innocently, climbing into her bed as well and looking over at her blonde companion.

"I'm not always trying to get his attention! He's just fun to annoy." Usagi defended. Lily rolled her eyes.

"You are as stubborn as a mule. I'm not going to argue with you, Usa, but keep in mind that this is our last year at Hogwarts and may be your last chance. Now go to sleep." Lily instructed, turning over and facing the other direction. Usagi blinked and rolled onto her back. 'The day of graduation...' She closed her eyes, shaking her head to banish the thought.

"Maybe..." Usagi yawned and rolled back onto her side, falling asleep almost instantly.


Muahahahaha! Okay, so it's not as long as I'd planned. -looks embarrassed- The truth is, I'm going out of town tomorrow and I wanted to post something before I left. I'll only be gone for a week, and I'll start working on it as soon as I get back. Heck, I might even work on it at my cousins; we're probably going to be lying around a lot.

Anyways, I got a lot of feedback last chapter and I was really excited. Should I bring in a character for Remy? I got a request from a reviewer but I just don't know. I can't really bring in one of the scouts because it would mess up the plot that I'm molding, but I could make up a character I guess. Please share your opinion, it would be appreciated.

Feel free to ask me any questions; I'll answer them to the best of my ability. Suggestions are welcomed, flames are welcomed, and criticism is welcomed. Pretty much anything is welcome, huh? Hope you enjoyed the chapter, see you next time. Review!
