Chapter 4 ~ Darkness Falls

The bell rang, causing the sound of a herd of elephants bursting into action. The boys met together in the corridor.

"That's twice today I had to be in close quarter with that greasy git!" James whined.

"Maybe you're getting a hint."

"No that fates are just set against me today.!"

"Uh, huh..." smiled Remus.

James rolled his eyes. "What? I should be nicer to Snivellus? I think not and there's absolutely no chance of anything else!"

Sirius decided to pop in then singing, "He should be your lover! You want to kiss him, love him and shampoo his hair."

"I wouldn't touch his hair with a ten foot pole, much less my own hands! And the chances of me ever wanting to kiss him are non-existent. Plus, Snivellus already has a lover."

"Who? Peter asked, scandalized that a greasy git like that could have one.

James was about to give an answer when something hit him in the back of the head. He went flying forward.

"Here we go again," muttered Sirius, moving to help him.

"What in the bloody hell was that???"

"Looks like a –argh!" Padfoot yelled, falling.

The castle plunged into darkness.
