After about 20 minutes of aimless flying, Sirius finally arrived at Hogwarts. Okay, now I just have to get in and out of our room before everyone else gets back….shouldn't be too terribly difficult. I can so handle this. He landed, or rather, crashed through the window of the room that he, James, and Remus shared. Good thing I already broke that window last week or that could've been bad! he thought as he dismounted off the bike.
"Now….where is James' trunk….?" Sirius thought aloud to himself. He eventually found it underneath James' bed. Hm….I would've thought he would put it somewhere more interesting…like in the wall or stuck to the ceiling or something. Apparently the great James Potter isn't very original.
"Cloak, cloak, cloak….where is that stupid cloak? I know he put it in here after the whole "Scare the first-year Transfiguration class" plan sort of backfired the other day." Sirius stated while going through the trunk.
"Where is it? I saw him put it away…he didn't prank someone without me did he? No way. He couldn't have done anything REALLY good without my amazing skills to back him up…." he wondered out loud. He was staring at the bottom of the trunk, but he couldn't help feel that something was off. Then he noticed the bottom was tilted, but the floor below was level. What have we here? A false bottom to the trunk? He tried to pull the "bottom" of the trunk and found that it lifted off.
"Haha! Who's the smart one now! That would be me." Sirius said with a smile, looking at the cloak that was on the actual bottom of the trunk, "Remus would be so proud." He put the contents of the trunk back where they were, and put on the cloak, immediately turning invisible. Phase one of the plan is complete…I feel this plan should have a name…Operation Become Even More Astounding Than I Already Am So That It's Godly? I like that…hm….I'll work on it. He walked out of the bedroom, past the Gryffindor Common Room, being as quiet as possible. Now, which way is the library? I think I've only been there like twice…and that's because Peter and Remus dragged me there to "better my magical education" or something like that…there should really be a directory somewhere on the wall. Oh wait! The map! Where is that? …oh, James has it. Darn it! Guess I'll just have to walk around for a while and hope I find it. I'm not gonna ask someone. That's what the whole cloak is for. Can't have people seeing Sirius Black voluntarily walking into the library can we? No, of course not. Alright let's go find this place before the guys realize what I did. Sirius started off down the first flight of stairs he saw, hoping he chose the right way to the library on his first try. He didn't.
"Peter wait up!" James said as he and Remus saw their friend stop just inside the gates.
"Ugh, you're not gonna start with the questions again are you? I think you gave me a migraine." Peter said when he saw his friends walking towards him.
"Nah, just thought you would use that brain of yours to come up with an answer that sounded good. In case you haven't noticed, I'm big on knowing how to catch a Snitch, not what girls are thinking about when they're being all irrational," James responded, putting a hand on his friends shoulder, "I mean next to Remus you're the most girlish one of us all, and Remus seems a little confused with his first big boy date to be of any help." Remus punched him lightly.
"I'm offended by that." Remus stated.
"You were supposed to be." James replied.
"In case you don't remember, which I'm sure since you don't remember breakfast, I've had plenty of dates before."
"Yeah but none where you got extremely freaked out with all the question asking and paranoia, and for your information I had bacon for breakfast this morning."
"Bravo you remembered! And I'm not paranoid. I just don't want to screw this up. Brooke is very nice."
"Aw…I think someone's in love. You know what this means Peter, time to sabotage." James said with a mischievous look in his eye.
"Oh no you're not! You guys aren't going to be anywhere near us! You are going to be far away so she doesn't think I hang out with a bunch of weirdos." Remus replied.
"We are NOT weirdos. We are, shall we say...fun enthusiasts."
"Is that what we are calling it now?"
"Oh please. Don't act all uninterested. We are so lovable that even if you wanted to leave you couldn't."
"That sounded awkward," Remus said with a laugh.
"Oh whatever, can we just go to the Common Room and be done with this?" James asked wanting to change the subject.
"Does the great James Potter not have a comeback?" Remus said with a looked of feigned shock on his face.
"Oh shut it. Don't make me beat you up. You know I could. Lily has bigger muscles than you."
"I could always stun you and tie you to a chair without a wand. I don't need giant muscles to beat you. I just have to have an IQ over 30."
"Peter, what's a normal IQ?" James whispered into Peter's ear. Peter just smiled.
"Well for any normal 17 year old it's typically over 100, but for you I would consider 50 an accomplishment." Peter whispered back, satisfied when James stuck his tongue out at him.
"Very mature James. You are just proving my point with your childishness," Remus said with a look on his face bordering cockiness.
"Ugh. Whatever you guys. I'm going up to my room. See ya," James said. He was still thinking about what he would do to fix things with Lily, and he finally came up with something. Perfect! But I'm definitely gonna need some help. Better go find Sirius. With that he walked into the school, leaving his two friends standing outside.
"Haha. I find it hilarious when we antagonize him." Remus stated watching James walk away.
"Oh yeah. It's really not that hard.," Peter said smiling.
"Yup. You would think that the lack of difficulty would make it less fun, but it never gets old. Yet another one of life's mysteries," Remus replied.
"Yeah…sure….let's go with that," Peter said. Ugh. He's in one of his "I'm superior and think talking like some ingenious and powerful wizard will make you think I'm amazing" moods. Oh joy.
"So Peter, you really have no ideas for my date?" Remus asked.
Oh my God. Not again. I'm done. "No Remus! Ugh. I'm gonna go to bed. See you later." Peter grumbled and practically ran into the school.
"Okay! Let me know if you come up with something! Bye!" Remus yelled after him. Why is it that I'm always the one left standing alone like an idiot? I think I walk into these things. He walked into the school, shaking his head and trying to figure out how to make sure James ended up looking completely stupid next time. He didn't think it would be too difficult. I mean he's halfway there already really, just say something really smart and walk away while he's all confused. Remus smiled, picture that scenario in his head. He liked that idea.
Oh bloody Hell where is it? I've been looking for at least an hour. You would think the library wouldn't be this hard to find so the oblivious first-years wouldn't get lost finding it. Who is the architect of this building? Didn't they have any brains at all? Sirius walked down the seemingly endless corridors, more then a little frustrated, for another 15 minutes before he finally found what he was looking for. The library! Yes! Huh…I didn't think I would ever be so happy to see a bunch of books. I guess there's a first time for everything.
After another 15 minutes of wandering around the library itself to find the type of book he was looking for, he hit the jackpot. Ok here we are. Spells to Change Ones Appearance to Others…the book titles are even difficult to understand! Why are these things never clear? Well whatever, let's see what we have…spells for appearing younger, cleaner, wealthier…oh this sounds promising. A spell to increase your feminine charm. This will show any stupid girl I'm completely amazing. Haha! Sirius pulled out his wand and looked at the book for the spell.
"Purella transfero," Sirius whispered, and his wand shot out a spark of pink. Pink? I don't think I've seen a pink spell before. Pink is not amazingly manly. Then the pink light draped over him, and he felt…shorter? That can't be right…I can't have a girlfriend taller then me. Does this spell have side effects? I should read the rest of the entry on it in the book… He opened the book, and after taking two minutes to find the page he was on, he read the rest of the information on the spell. Let's see…this spell will give you feminine charm…blah blah blah,…it increases your feminine attributes to have a greater appeal to members of the opposite gender…it also…WAIT WAT? Great! Just great! Good job Sirius! You made yourself become more like A GIRL. He could practically hear Remus' voice in his head now, You know Sirius, you should really get all the information on a subject BEFORE you just go through with something to avoid unpleasant consequences. I know it can be difficult but reading could be helpful once in a while.
Feeling completely frustrated, Sirius sat on the floor of the library reading through the book. If there was something for feminism, there should be something for masculinity right? After what seemed like an eternity scouring every page of the book, Sirius couldn't find anything that he thought would be helpful. With a sigh, he picked up the book and walked out of the library, surely one of the guys could help him. That's what friends are for right? That is, if they could stop laughing at him long enough to help him.
"Aw bloody Hell!" he yelled in the corridor, this was most definitely not going to be fun.
So, that was another installment of my friends story! I had to practically beg her to finish writing this one. But I convinced her to continue. And if you want this story to continue, please feel free to say it in the review. Hopefully another chapter will be up soon. Thank you and have a lovely day. :) Oh and feel free to also check out my other stories :) I like reviews on those too please.
