TA DAH! Once again another lovely chapter ;D I just want to thank everyone who is still reading this and following. I noticed a few people favorite this story as well and THANK YOU! But here we go with another chapter and I hope you all really like it! Reviews are greatly helpful, especially with any criticism. On a side note I most certainly do NOT own Harry Potter series.


Sirius Black slumped against the wooden table in Slughorn's potions class. He had already tried convincing the jolly professor to change his so called "partner" with James; however Slughorn merely laughed it off. Knowing any second that Michelle would sit beside him Sirius waited... and waited… and still waited until Slughorn started teaching his lesson of the day. The black haired boy looked towards the empty seat next to him as if there was a mistake. When the lesson was half way over and still the seat was empty, a tight knot had formed in the pit of his stomach for some unknown reason. Looking towards the back of the room he noticed that a mysterious Irish ginger was missing as well. The knot eased but didn't all disappear. Who knew what O'Brian could do to Michelle's sanity? Or at least what was left it anyways…


However Michelle was a bit more than peeved at her current situation. Forget about having to deal with a pissy Black, she was more upset over the fact that she was hanging upside down by her ankles. Amy O'Brian, one of Michelle's best friends and a damn Gryffindor, had dragged Michelle out of the castle by her wrist and towards the oak by the Black Lake. Michelle glared at the red headed girl and began calling her every rotten name in the book. The Irish girl merely rolled her eyes before taking a seat in front of her friend.

"Alright potty mouth, what's going on with you?" Amy drawled while leaning back on her hands.

"Please tell me you didn't seriously drag me out here to talk about my life, while I'm currently missing potions." Michelle stared at Amy, resisting the urge to cross her arms over her chest in favor for holding her skirt above her knees. When the ginger nodded, Michelle started cursing her all over again. Amy merely smiled and waited until the blonde finished her rant. Running out of steam, Michelle sighed and gave her a look.

"What do you want to know?" Michelle waited for Amy to say something but it never came. "Alright the only thing going on is that Sirius is being an ass and Regulus isn't much better, but we finally had a talk so he's getting better. Happy?" Amy shook her head.

"That doesn't explain why Sirius is being all moody as a banshee on pms." Michelle snorted at the similarity of the two and shrugged.

"How the hell am I supposed to know? Potter carried me towards the quidditch pitch and Black was there. But all we did was argued." Amy raised an eyebrow and gave Michelle a knowing look.

"Now let's take a look through the past," Michelle groaned at Amy's lecture tone, "You've known the Blacks since you were all six, you used to get along with Sirius and not Regulus, now it's vice versa, Regulus has a thing for you, and Sirius has been acting strange since you started getting it on with his brother. Which means?" Amy looked up expectantly at her friend.

"Something I'm never going to acknowledge. Now if you don't seriously put me down I'm going to be sick." Amy lay down in the grass and crossed her hands above her head.

"Just think about it Michelle. You know the path that Regulus is going to take. You know it will only end up hurting you, while with Sirius you know you're safe from heart ache."

"That is until he throws me to the gutters and starts shagging some other floozy." Michelle glared at her best girlfriend but was growing tired of holding her skirt up. "Seriously Ams you need to put me down." The Gryffindor relented and mutter the counter spell, causing Michelle to fall onto her back. Gasping for breath, Michelle glared at the Gryffindor.

"What if you just listen to what Sirius has to say for once?"

"What if you finally decided to snog Remus?" Amy blushed at the sarcastic question but she was relentless.

"Why would it be so horrible? You already have an idea of what he will say to you."

"That's just it Amy. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to deal with the whole 'choosing between brothers' antic. I've known both boys for a long time and I know what to expect from Regulus. He's a safe option. However with Sirius… one moment he's joking and laughing the next he's glaring at me and being spiteful. Why should I put up with that?" Michelle started pulling handfuls of grass from the ground while staring at the lake.

"Because you know he will change for you. He talks crap about you but you know it's just for show. I'm not saying you should just forget Regulus but just give Sirius a chance before blocking him out." Before Amy could finish her sentence, Michelle was already standing and dusting the back of her skirt off.

"Just forget it, Amy. Nothing is going to happen between Sirius and I. Slytherins and Gryffindors don't work in romantic relationships." Amy raised an eye brow at this.

"You do realize you act more like a Gryffindor than a Slytherin right?" Michelle just grinned and got a crazed look in her eye.

"But you don't realize just how much I can manipulate the situation, dear, sweet Amy. Just having you wrapped around my finger for now is good enough." Michelle winked at her friend before walking off, already forgetting about her potion's class. Amy watched as her friend walked back towards the castle with her head held high. Her heart clenched for her friend's dilemma.


Herbology went by in seconds and Defense against the Dark Arts was merely another review of what the class will entail for the year. Michelle couldn't have been more dazed if she was hit with the Imperius curse. Lunch had finally popped up and the Slytherin slowly walked towards the Great Hall for her fill of food. Before going through the doors of the majestic hall, the teenager took a deep breathe to calm her nerves and put on a smile for Regulus. As she walked calmly into the hall, Michelle could easily feel the eyes of the Gryffindors on her and already she knew something was up. Sitting beside Regulus and Severus, she knew that they would quickly fill her in. Or at least Regulus would.

"What happened and why are those damn Gryffindorks staring at me?" Michelle asked Regulus as she loaded food onto her plate. It wasn't until Severus stopped her from taking a bite of her food did she look at the two boys. She decided to glance down the table and noticed that none of the other Slytherins were eating either.

"Someone heard that the food was tampered with." Severus mumbled while sparing a glance towards the Gryffindor table.

"So then everyone is just going to stare at the food and not eat? No one has the balls to just try it?" Michelle asked. Regulus just shrugged.

"Survival," Regulus stated. Michelle groaned and banged her head on the table. Already she knew who was responsible for this. And already she had decided that she didn't give a damn. Picking up her fork again, Michelle scooped some carrots into her mouth and started chewing. The entire hall was filled with tension. After a while though everything seemed calmed and the rest of the Slytherins started eating. However it wasn't until Regulus started laughing did everyone realize something was wrong. Michelle glared at her childhood friend while he pointed to his head. Slowly, Michelle brought her hand up to her hair and pulled a strand over her shoulder. Her only reaction to the hot pink strand was her slit eyes and tense shoulders. Putting down her eating utensils, Michelle gripped the edge of the table. Taking a deep breath she barely heard Slughorn ensuring the Slytherins he could fix everything. Rage filled her body as she stood up from the table, body shaking in emotions. Having a prank done on everyone in her house would have been laughable, only if it didn't involve her. Turning her head slightly she looked over at the Gryffindor table to see the Marauders laughing, minus Amy and Lily who looked pale. Michelle's hand searched for a knife until Severus grabbed her wrist. Severus stood as well and both Slytherin's exited the Great Hall. Regulus was left by himself to glare at his idiot brother.


Lily and Amy knew something was up with the Marauders when Sirius and James were watching the Slytherin intently as they ate. However it wasn't until Michelle's hair had slowly started to turn a startling hot pink did they know what was about to happen. Both girls had paled significantly when Michelle had stood and turned in their direction. Amy remembered when her own hair had been that color and knew that the Marauders had used the same exact spell that Michelle had on her. Meaning, if Severus or Slughorn couldn't get the color out of Michelle's hair quick, the Marauders would have hell to pay. Well, James and Sirius would mostly. Amy turned towards Sirius and James, who were both still laughing their heads off.

"You don't realize what you just did, do you?" Amy was still pale in the face while the boys wiped tears from their eyes. James was the first to regain control of his lungs.

"Are you kidding? That was priceless!" Amy and Lily both shook their heads and merely grabbed their bags.

"How long do you think they'll last?" Amy asked Lily as the exited the loud hall.

"Not very, if someone is unable to counter the spell," Both Gryffindor girls shrugged and started heading towards their respective classes.


Michelle was effectively having a panic attack. Already was she pulling at random strands of her fluorescent pink hair and imagining the painful things she could do to get back at Sirius Black. Severus Snape, though appeared calm, was secretly fuming. Once again those idiot Marauders had caused hell for Michelle. He knew that Slughorn would become a bumbling fool, House Head or not, with so many Slytherins demanding for a potion to fix the damage. Severus led the way to a smaller classroom located in the dungeons, which he used for personal use. Not stopping in his tracks, the potion loving wizard started raiding the thousands of vials he had stored in secrecy. Grabbing an emerald colored vial, Severus walked stiffly towards Michelle. The look on her face indicated that she was indeed not enjoying her situation very much and promised torture to anyone that dared to mess with her at the moment. He handed the vial over to her shaking hand and watched as the yellow liquid fell into her mouth. Michelle's mouth twisted as the sour liquid fell down her esophagus and towards her stomach. She never did care much for potions, but sighed as her scalp tingled and gave a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Severus." Michelle whispered while running a hand through her original blonde hair. However, her relief was short lived as she remembered who had caused her lunch to end early. "I'm going to kill them!" She growled while clenching her fists. Severus, calmly putting away the used vial, raised an eyebrow at the statement.

"I would rather you not be thrown into Azkaban for those buffoons." He drawled, now leaning against a desk. Michelle smirked at his statement and turned towards him.

"Of course not, who would you have to talk to about your lovely flower?" Severus gave her a dark look, but she merely shook it off. "You know I'm not going to just let old Slughorn take care of the situation and our dear Headmaster was merely laughing at us." Suddenly Michelle's face brightened.

"I got it! My dear Severus, how would you like to be involved in a prank to get back at those two blunder heads?" The boy in question tilted his head to the side in curiosity. Michelle merely gave a grin that would have had Cheshire Cat envious. Hopping onto a desk, she began to delve into her devious plan.


A full month had passed since that faithful day the prank was played. Quidditch tryouts and practices have already begun and everyone was getting ready for the Halloween feast, especially the separate parties for each house. Everything seemed fine and healthy between the houses, well, minus the Marauders and the Slytherin trio. Michelle went to great lengths to ignore Sirius and James, which came to an impressive extent considering she was partnered with one of them in at least one class. She still associated with Remus, Peter, Lily and Amy. There was no reason to be upset with them since she knew they had no part in the plan, though she was still a bit miffed that Peter and Remus laughed with the rest of them. However, knowing she would soon be able to complete her plan as Halloween grew nearer and nearer with each day, caused Michelle's hyperness level to soar. It was hard to merely sit still in class anymore. Regulus became suspicious each time Michelle disappeared with Severus, and went as far as to confront the other male of their whereabouts at night. Severus had merely scoffed at his friend and told him to ask Michelle if he so desperately wanted to know. Regulus had one problem with that… Damn Slytherin pride. The day had finally dawned upon the student population however. Michelle was finally able to contain her hyperness and had even started talking to Sirius and James, even if it was instructions for some potion or spell.

Michelle had always considered Halloween her favorite celebration of the year. The castle was filled with decorations from cob webs, to flying bats and the ghosts were roaming more freely than usual. Either way, Michelle loved how it felt. Knowing she could easily get away with scaring first and second years by merely showing a bloody dagger or by having Peeves help in making the stereotypical ghost moans. But this Halloween was going to be special. This Halloween, Michelle was going to get back at Sirius and James for changing her hair pink.

The feast had been splendid, as it was every year, and the house ghosts even showed up for the event. Michelle could barely sit still in her seat as the Bloody Baron told the same tale of defeating some foe or what not. Severus had gently placed his hand on her shaking knee and squeezed slightly to get her to sit still. Regulus however saw the movement and also placed his hand on her other knee and squeezed it, not in reassurance but in possessiveness. Michelle looked sideways at Regulus and gave him a look of concern before squeezing the back of his hand. Finally the feast ended and all the students were rushing back to the dorms, whether it was to go to bed or to quickly get dressed for the parties that their house threw every Halloween. Having planned far ahead, it didn't take Michelle long to slide herself into the slim costume. She never cared for those girls that used Halloween as an excuse to dress whorish. She despised those girls for disrespecting the true meaning of Halloween. But if she could easily catch Sirius' eye by dressing up as such then she would. However, she gladly embraced the rich culture of the holiday and despised dressing sexy just for the occasion. Sirius was going to pay tonight…

Her costume wasn't small, by any means, but it did require magic to be used on the back to tie a red corset with small bats magically flying around it. The top of the corset was heart shaped with small black lace, enhancing her cleavage but hiding it in a way, and ended just before reaching her hips. A small black half jacket covered her shoulders and made a collar for her neck in the back. A satin skirt hung off her hips and end at her shins with a slit going just a little bit above her knee. Michelle point her wand at her mouth and used the spell Severus taught her to sharpen her canines and change her eye color to red. She knew she was taking the whole 'gothic vampire' stage a bit far, but she had to make sure she wouldn't be recognized. Using magic again to do the top part of her hair into a braid and leaving the underside loose, then changing her hair color to a dark chestnut. Smirking at her reflection, she knew that even her own father wouldn't recognize her and felt proud for a moment. While adding a few accessories to her ears and a simple silver ring, Michelle slowly slipped on her black leather heeled boots. Resting for a moment on her bed it finally dawned on her what she was about to do. Shaking her head slightly, she grabbed her silver mask and walked out towards the Slytherin common room. Seeing her two friends, both in dress robes, Michelle quickly rushed over towards them for approval.

Severus was the first to notice the brunette walking his way and with a shock, realized that it was Michelle. Eyes widening it caused Regulus to end their conversation and also watch the girl practically run towards them. His brows knit in confusion but when she smiled up at him he received the shock of his life.

"Michelle?" Regulus asked while looking her up and down. To say she was pretty would have been an understatement. She was beautiful to him, however he would have preferred it if she had kept her hair blonde.

"You look splendid." Severus gave her a rare smile and kissed the back of her hand. Michelle grinned at his behavior and both boys noticed her sharpened canines.

"Not a very original idea, Michelle." Regulus grinned when she huffed.

"If you're not going to shower me with compliments then I shall take my leave." Michelle huffed while putting her mask on. It only covered the upper part of her face, allowing her to speak and breathe freely. Regulus gave her a questioning look.

"You're not coming to the party?" Regulus asked, displaying his disappointment through his voice. Michelle shook her head and grinned.

"I'm getting back at a certain couple. Don't worry though, if there is enough time I'll stop by and dance with you." She winked at the taller male and started to make her way out of the common room, determination in every step. The two men watched as their friend walked literally towards the lion's den.

"Is there a reason why she didn't share this with me?" Regulus whispered, clenching one hand. Severus discreetly rolled his eyes.

"She doesn't need you worrying about her." Regulus huffed and also started to exit the common room with Severus behind him.

"We're going to be hearing about this tomorrow morning aren't we?"

"Of course," Severus mumbled, the glee inside him however was getting harder and harder to control as he remembered the plan.


Michelle couldn't exactly remember the last time she was so nervous. Looking at the ordinary wooden door, which would normally lead into a classroom, led into what Michelle fondly started to call, the 'lion's den'. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves and making sure her mask was in place, Michelle slowly opened the door. What immediately caught her attention was the amount of RED decorations. It figures that the Gryffindor in charge of decorations would go all out. A second thing that caught Michelle's attention was how warm the room truly was. Even though a fire was running, it seemed that with the amount of bodies present they would have put it out by then. Closing the door behind her, Michelle plastered a pleasant smile on her face and slowly started to mingle with enemy.

Mindless chatter was annoying to Michelle, especially when stuck with a group of brainless girls. Already she had the urge to curse one when the girl started talking about the 'slimy Slytherins'. Excusing herself, Michelle started to search for her target. However, being in the middle of the room had its disadvantages when everyone was wearing masks. So battling her way to the wall, Michelle had made up her mind to get a drink. Finally finding the snack table, the Slytherin cautiously filled her cup with some sort of punch that was probably spiked. While swirling the drink around and deciding whether to trust it or not, Michelle didn't notice another body walking towards her.

"It's not spiked if that's what you're thinking." A masculine voice said behind her. Turning around she couldn't help but give a smile. This could possibly be easier than she thought. Right in front of her stood a man with shaggy black hair to his shoulders tied back loosely, wearing a cowboy outfit. Grey eyes sparkled behind his mask. Michelle really had trouble holding her laughter in. Realizing that the person standing in front of her was Sirius Black, in a cowboy costume, was a riot.

"And I'm supposed to believe that coming from a cowboy or from a wanted man?" Michelle coyly asked.

"My word is my honor." Sirius said while giving a slight bow grinning up at the beautiful girl in front of him. However, something was tugging at the back of his mind about this girl. It was as if he knew her. She wasn't some random girl from Gryffindor.

"Well I guess I have no choice but to trust you at this moment." Michelle smiled and slowly sipped at her punch, maintaining eye contact. She knew she had to be careful. Already Sirius was getting that look in his eye of recognition. Finishing her punch she tossed the cup in a bin.

"What year are you?" Sirius asked.

"Sixth. Yourself?" Michelle answered without hesitating.

"Seventh. Why have I never seen you in the common room before?"

"Oh I mostly spend my time outside and come back late usually. Now I know you're not trying to figure out my identity are you? You should know better Mr. Black." Michelle gave a secretive smile and pulled the stunned guy onto the dance floor. With the music being too upbeat for either of them to dance properly, both decided to just do what was natural. In this case, let's just agree that neither of their parents would have approved the dance. Michelle continued to keep a small distance between them while Sirius tried to move closer. She had never been so glad that she was excellent at charms. The two of them danced a little bit more before another girl decided to steal Sirius' attention. Michelle gladly took her chance to escape from the arrogant man. Looking around the cramped room, Michelle could instantly spot two bright red headed girls a mile away. Grinning, she decided to test her disguise. Slowly she walked up to the small group of girls and moseyed her way into the circle. It didn't take long for her to understand the gist of the conversation; who was dancing with who. Michelle couldn't explain how they didn't understand that it was a masquerade for a reason. Nodding at the appropriate time, Michelle started to zone out while glancing around the room.

"What did you say your name was?" A random girl asked, shocking Michelle out of her daze. Giving, what she assumed, the younger girl a smile and delivered a swift reply.

"I didn't give my name." The girls in the circle started at Michelle. However, Amy raised a brow at the reply. She knew barely anyone in Gryffindor would have replied in such a snarky way.

"Then do you mind giving it?" She asked, turning her body towards the suspicious girl. Michelle tilted her head to the side and held that insufferable smile.

"I thought the whole point of a masquerade was to have everyone disguised?"

"It's just a party with friends. What harm is there saying your name? If you truly are from Gryffindor that is," Amy gave a haughty smile and crossed her arms. Michelle knew that Amy should have been placed in Ravenclaw or even Slytherin for her annoying tongue.

"It's Christina Woodward." Michelle cringed on the inside but held her stance. Amy quickly glanced over at Lily to see if she had recognized the name. When the other ginger showed no sign of recognition, Amy gave a cold stare to Michelle.

"You don't believe me?" Michelle asked.

"What she means is that we just haven't heard of you in all of our years of attending Hogwarts." Lily jumped in to defend her friend. Amy merely stood back and stared at Michelle. When she was about to reply, a man came up behind Lily and hugged her. All conversation ceased as Lily turned a bright red and turned her head to see who it was. However it didn't take long for Michelle to guess, even with a hat, James Potter could never hide his mop of hair. And Lily apparently figured it out as well since she elbowed the man in the ribs and stormed off mumbling to herself. The four girls were quiet, except for Amy and Michelle.

"Poor luck, James! Next time, don't try a sneak attack." Amy was holding her stomach from laughing. Not just from him being elbowed but for the fact that he was dressed as Zorro.

"Oi James, what did you do now?" asked a cowboy, who was quick to walk up behind him. The girls beside Michelle began to giggle and she tried desperately hard not to glare at them. Doesn't mean she couldn't help her eye twitch from annoyance. Immediately, the cowboy's attention was drawn to her and she gave a small smile.

"Well, howdy there little missy." Sirius grabbed Michelle's hand and kissed the back of it again. Michelle gave a smile and nodded her head slightly.

"It's hilarious that you're trying to do a Western accent." She commented and rolled her eyes. Sirius grinned and shrugged his shoulders.

"Gotta keep up with the costume, love, speaking of which, isn't the gothic vampire thing over done?" He gave his own smirk. Amy and James watched the two interact. Michelle raised an eye brow and started to walk around him.

"And don't you know better than to question a woman in her choice of clothing?" She asked while removing her half jacket and revealing her neck. Giving him a look, she cued him into following. Amy and James still watched as they left. James looked over at Amy and started to ask her a question until she butted in.

"Name is Christina Woodward. Don't know the house and no I'm not going to dance with you. Go find Lily, you dolt." And with her final words, Amy went searching for a certain blonde headed amber eyed boy to dance with, leaving James to desperately search for Lily.

Michelle had led Sirius to the opposite side of the enlarged classroom, feeling positive that the others wouldn't be over there. Throwing her jacket onto a chair, she slowly started to walk around Sirius. The music had turned into something more sensual and slow. Michelle grabbed Sirius' hands and made him hold her waist as she turned her back to him and started dancing. His hands inched over her stomach before settling on her hips. The two danced together without saying anything. It wasn't until the song was over and a love song started to play, Sirius slowly turned Michelle around and placed her arms on his shoulders. His hands were hot against her hips as they danced. He looked into her red eyes and pondered over something for a moment.

"How did you know my name?" He asked, not stopping their steps. Michelle gave a small laugh and looked down slightly at his chest.

"Everyone knows the good looks of Sirius Black. You didn't try very hard to disguise yourself." Michelle looked back up into his smiling grey eyes.

"After seven years this partially becomes a joke." His grin shown through his tired eyes and for a second Michelle didn't want to go through with her plan. But only for a second. Michelle grinned and rubbed up against Sirius.

"Come now, it's not all that bad. You get to dress up and pretend to be someone else for the night." Michelle smiled up at the much taller man but missed the sad look in his eyes. Instead the handsome man grabbed her around the waist, lifted her up and spun her around, disturbing the peace of the song with Michelle's screams. Everyone's heads turned to stare at the laughing couple. A fast past song began to play and Michelle had forgotten how much fun it was to just let go and dance. And that's exactly what she did. It wasn't until a grandfather clock chimed eleven o'clock did she realize the dance was almost over. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves she looked up at Sirius. Giving him a seductive smile she led him over towards the middle of the room. Leaning her arms over his shoulders and standing on her toes Michelle was able to whisper into his ear. In a quick voice Michelle whispered three curses. One of them was being an ear-shriveling curse, the second being a hair loss curse and the final one was a tongue-tying curse. Feeling the magic spread around the room, Michelle leaned back and watched. Students were panicking from the loss of hair and others were choking slightly on the feel of their tongue curling up. Michelle looked back at Sirius Black, who was losing his hair, and gave a sweet smile before pushing him back and running out of the room.
