Sorry that I haven't updated in a few days but first my mom wanted to read...She doesn't even like HP. Apparantly I've been a bit "Obsesive" because I've been on the computer so much.

And now I can't upload anything! I've been getting this "Error" message. I've had things uploaded on the site for awhile, so I used that instead. That wasn't such a bad thing because I needed to make some last-minute revisions anyway.

So, here's another chapter.

Chapter 3: Swimming is Soothing

I headed back into the Gryffindor Common-room thinking about what just happened. I couldn't be any happier if I tried. Except, I was still inside.

I looked around the Common-room to see the others talking and laughing. I could sneak up on if I walk quietly enough. And I did exactly that. I crept up behind them quietly. I was getting ready to pounce and—

"Hey Sirius. How'd it go with Regulus?"

Fell—Not literally, of course. "How'd you know it was me?" I asked.

"Sirius, you're a dog," said James in a matter-of-fact voice. "Dogs aren't known to be quiet. Oh, and here's your wand," he added as an after thought—Thank the Dog Star too, or I would have forgotten all about it. Well, to some point anyway.

I took my wand and came around and sat on the seat across from them. "Thanks, James," I said as I sat down. "It went fine. Everything's cleared up. But I have one question. Why are we still inside, if it's so nice outside?"

When we got outside, I decided to bask some more. It's hard to bask in the sunlight when you're: A) stuck in Azkaban B) on the run from the law; So I basked in the sun for the longest time until—

"Oy! It's Snape!"

I turned around and recognized Snape. I never realized how handsome he was when we went to school together.

Get your minds out of the gutter please. I mean, EWW! No, that's not what I meant. I do NOT think of Severus Snape that way. It's just that he looked like he just came out of the sewer when he taught at Hogwarts. So what happened?

"What are you staring at, Black?" he snarled. "I don't swing that way!" He pulled out his wand and aimed it at me.

Oh yeah, I remember now. That's what happened. His sewer-rat attitude finally took its toll on him.

"Don't make me sick, Snivellus. I already have my eye on a girl," I said as I got up a made my way to the tree that we always sit under. I put my arm around Lily's shoulder which got me many stares and pouts from the people around me.

Lily looked like she trying her best not to slap me, James might have done more than slapped me if Remus hadn't been holding him back, Remus grinned because he knew I was joking, and Peter stared wide-eyed. As for the girls out-side, they all looked ready to kill me and Regulus stared at me like I had grown an extra head or two.

Snape glared at me and narrowed his eyes. "That's low, even for you Black," he whispered. "You're pureblood and she's a mud-blood…don't make me sick!"

Of course I didn't like Lily like that. She's my best mate's girl, but she's a friend of mine all the same. I whipped out my wand and James did the same.

Next thing I know four jinxes have been place on Snivelly. I cast Furnuclus, the spell jinx that causes the victim's body to break out in boils. I'm pretty sure that James cast one of our newly invented spells, Amphibious Morphious, which causes the victim to get turned into either a frog, a newt, or a snake. In this case Snape got turned into a frog. I recognized Remus' trade-mark spell, Scourgify, at once. And I'm not too sure who cast the last spell. I heard someone shout "Pyrobolo!" which is a fire spell that turns the victim's skin all crispy and burnt-like. I looked around to see Regulus, who was grinning like a Cheshire cat. I'm suspecting it was him who used the fire jinx.

So, now, let's look back at the spells, shall we?

There was a spell that turned Snivellus into a frog, mine added boils all over his body, Remus made him foam at the mouth, and, I'm guessing, Regulus burnt our toady friend to a crisp.

This is an image that I love to see. A frog that is foaming at the mouth, who used to have boils but is now burnt to a crisp…Wow, I almost feel sorry for the guy—Toad. KW (Key word): Almost.

Everyone except Lily burst out laughing. Even Regulus laughed. "Was that you?" I asked him.

He nodded. "A friend of my brother's is a friend of mine." There was a pause before he added, "Besides, I've always wanted to do that!"

James whispered in my ear. "What did you say to him?" he asked me amazed.

"We just bonded, that's all."

"You're just going to leave him there?" asked Lily, ticked off and annoyed. She rolled her eyes and went over to Snivellus and cast Finite Incantatem which removed the effects of our spells but right after that she cast Petrificus Totalus, followed by Scourgify.

"That's for calling me a mud-blood, you sodding prat!" she snarled at him.

"All right!" called James.

"Go Lily!" I shouted.

"I'm going swimming," called Remus who was already practically in the water.

"Not a bad idea," I agree. I thought this would happen so I put on a pair of swimming trunks, and did the rest of the Marauders…and Reggie.

"Padfoot, I have a question," said James. "I'm pretty sure that you don't like Lily like that so why did you put your arm around her?"

"Jealous, now are we?" I teased him.

"No, just that are so many other girls around, why Lily?"

"I don't really like any one of the girls here. None of them are my type, James. Either that, or I've already dated them."

"Then we'll just have to find you someone that isn't in your fan-club, Padfoot," said Moony as he splashed Prongs and Wormtail. He swam over to me and whispered in my ear. "And we'll have to get Lily in the water too."

I looked back were we had sat to see Lily sitting there, leaning back against the tree.

Regulus swam over to where I was in the water and whispered something in my ear.

My eyes widened in shock. "Are you sure?" I asked

He nodded and pointed over toward another tree not too far from the tree we were just sitting at.

I looked where he was looking and saw a girl whom I don't ever remember seeing here before. "I've never seen her before," I said in wonderment. How have I never noticed someone that…gorgeous before? I'm sure her purplish-blue hair would have caught my eye at some point or another. She also had the prettiest amethyst eyes.

"Her name's Evangeline," said Reggie. "Evangeline White."

"What house is she in?" I asked still not looking away.

"If I tell you, you have to promise not to freak, brah," said Regulus.

I saw her friend point this way so I turned my eyes to Reggie's. "I won't," I agreed.

"Promise?" he asked.

"I promise, 'brah'," I said splashing him.

"Slytherin," he replied really quickly.

My mouth dropped. "Slytherin?" I was astonished. Who knew that my dream girl would be in Slytherin?

"She's really nice though. She told me that the hat also wanted to put her in Ravenclaw. And she's pureblood."

"She sounds nice," I said. I didn't know what else to say.

Evangeline's POV

"Hey Vangie," said my friend, Lucy, sitting down next to me in the shade of the weeping willow I was sitting under. "Look." She pointed toward the lake where a group of boys were playing and splashing in the water. "I think you have a secret admirer," she said in a sing-song voice.

"What makes you say that?" I asked.

"See the boy who Regulus is talking to?" she asked me still pointing.

I nodded.

"That's his brother, Sirius Black."

"Sirius Black…" I muttered. That name rang a bell for some reason.

"He's the player in Gryffindor," she explained.

"Gottcha!"

"He was just staring at you."

"At me?" I asked. I'm nothing much. (Unless you consider an animagus to be something special, that is.)

"Yep."

Back to Sirius' POV

"Oy, James! I think I just found myself a girl," I said as a mischievous Cheshire grin crept over my features.

"Wow! That was fast!" Remus remarked.

"Who is it, Pads?" asked James.

"Evangeline White," I said as I pointed toward the tree where they were sitting. Then I leaned in and whispered in Regulus' ear. "Want to help me get Lily into the water?" She was already wearing her swimming suit, but she was sun-bathing.

He nodded.

I aimed my wand at Lils then I muttered, "Aguamenti," in a barely audible voice. A stream of cold water hit her and she freaked.

"Sirius!" she screamed at me! "You—You—How could you!?"

Regulus got out of the water and dragged the now kicking-and-screaming Lily to the waters' edge and let her sit up before lightly pushing her in.

"You!" she shrieked. "Both of you!" She splashed us both which resulted in a splashing contest. After that we played something that Lily told us muggles play called "Chicken." It was fun. We had three teams: Lily and James, me and Reg, and Peter and Remus. But we mixed it up a bit.

After a couple hours we got out so we didn't miss dinner.

This was a fun chapter. Now I have a question. Do you want to see Sirius try and get the girl and get turned down a lot and then finally get the girl in the next chapter or just through-out the whole story? And if I don't get any answers, it'll be through out most of the story.

Oh, and do you want to see more of the school year or not? Because if not, the next chapter is going to be the end of their fifth year. Then we get to see what the summer holds. This story will go through Sirius' 6th and 7th years and then jump to what Harry's life could be like if no-one had died.

Anyway, review please on what ideas you want.
