New chapter, yeah so please tell me what you think!

"I still think it's a bit over the top" Charlotte said reasonably, from her seat by the dead common room fire.

The other second years ignored her, pouring over their scattered plans.

"So you've nicked the cloak?" Lizzy asked Edgar, who nodded.

"And Charlotte knows how she's going to distract Remus?" Millie winked at her friend, who turned a dark shade of pink.

"So everything's sorted apart from getting Evans onboard" Fabien summarised, looking round towards Lizzy.

"What? Not me, she hates me! Marlene would probably stand a better chance..." Lizzy insisted, before trailing of at the expressions on her housemates faces.

"She doesn't hate you; she hates James which will make her help us." Edgar stated to nods from the others.

"So send someone else, I'm telling you she doesn't like me!" Lizzy said, emphasising each word with a prod.

Footsteps sounded on the girl's stairs, "Who doesn't like you?" Alice Winters asked in a friendly voice as she jumped the last few stairs.

She was followed by an unimpressed Lily "What are you all doing up so early?"

Lizzy blushed slightly, praying that overnight the twins had matured.

"She doesn't think Lily likes her" Gideon said, without looking up.

Lizzy groaned as Charlotte and Marlene went "Gideon!"

To Lizzys slight satisfaction Lily was looking slightly ashamed "I..."

"Don't worry about it!" Lizzy snapped, picking up her plans and burying her nose in them to hide her blush.

Alice looked confused "Accio" she said simply, snatching the plans.

"Hey!" the twins objected, as Alice rifled through the notes a grin forming on her face.

She laughed "Hey Lil, I think you may have found some fellow conspirators!"

Lily leaned over her friends shoulder and read the plans, a small smile forming on her lips.


"So you want me to keep everyone from going down to the changing rooms for about ten minutes after the match finishes?" Lily asked the girl second years, as they ate there breakfasts.

"Yep, leave the rest to us!" Millie said, with an evil smile.

Alice laughed "Man you lot are evil midgets!"

Lizzy raised her eyebrows "Well that's not patronising" she said sarcastically.

Lily frowned, but her face relaxed when she saw Alice was laughing.

"You're alright" she admitted, smiling at Lizzy.

"I know" Lizzy said cockily.

Lily rolled her eyes "But so obviously a Potter!"

Lizzy winked "Hell yeah, but you two need to go!"

"Gotcha" Alice nodded her and Lily moving down the table.

"I can't believe we are really going to do this!" Marlene said, smiling disbelievingly.

"Yeah, we are evil!" Millie grinned.

"Hey, they started it!" Lizzy exclaimed.

"Not to you and it was your idea!" Charlotte laughed.

"I'm just awesome like that!" Lizzy posed.

"Merlin! Your egos expanding by the minute!" Millie smirked.

Lizzy prodded her "I'm not that bad!"

Marlene grinned guiltily "You are getting worse!"

Lizzy pouted "Mean!"


"AND DAVIES HAS THE QUAFFLE, INTERCEPTED BY AVERY, HE SHOOTS AND MISSES. THE SCORE REMAINS 120-140 TO GRYFINDOR." The commentary boomed, over the roars of disappointment from the Slytherin's.

"It's cold isn't it?" Charlotte moaned, pulling her scarf tighter.

"It's not that bad!" Millie said bracingly, her eyes tracking James.

"I hope the twins are paying attention." Marlene said nervously "If they find out it was us..."

"Calm down Marley" Lizzy laughed "Anyway its Lily job to make sure that we have plenty of time!"

"I don't get why she's helping us" Charlotte asked, as the quaffle switched sides twice.

"She doesn't like James!" Lizzy said simply.

"I know it's so sad given how he likes her" Millie smiled.

"I think she does like him, she just doesn't want to admit it!" Charlotte said, to jeers from the others.

Millie snorted "Yeah right!"

Marlene however looked thoughtful "Maybe?"

"You're both mad!" Lizzy yelled over Slytherin cheers.

"I don't know what their cheering about, they're still losing!" Millie sneered, looking over at the mass of green and silver.

"Well Slytherin's are pretty persistent!" Charlotte hinted, with a sideways glance at Lizzy.

"Not again!" Lizzy moaned loudly, burying her face into her scarf.

"Come on! Just admit it!" Charlotte pressed, as the other two laughed.

"You were getting pretty cosy in Astronomy last week!" Millie teased.

"Oh shut up!" Lizzy muttered, glaring at James as he flew past turning a loop.

Charlotte moved in for the attack "What's wrong with him?" she demanded.

Lizzy sighed "Nothing I just don't..."

"No! You've admitted he's good looking!" Charlotte said over her.

Lizzy had to shout to be heard over the crowd "SO, SIRIUS IS GOOD LOOKING..." unfortunately the noise from the crowd had died down half way through her sentence. Now the entire stand was staring at her.

"Wow bad timing" Millie muttered with a smirk as Lizzy went scarlet.


"Shut up!" Lizzy snarled as the twins and Edgar doubled up laughing.

"It was quite funny" Charlotte said fairly, causing Lizzy to turn the death stare on her.

"Come on!" she hissed at the twins, as she pulled out the cloak.

"Keep watch!" Gideon reminded the others as him, Lizzy and Fabien disappeared under the cloak.

They slipped into the Gryffindor changing rooms, grumbling quietly about the lack of room.

"Wow!" Fabien muttered as they passed a very lacy bra.

"Perverts" Lizzy muttered as she led them into the boys changing room.

Unfortunately Lily hadn't managed ten minutes, "Good game Potter!" Frank Longbottom, a burly sixth year smiled as he undressed.

"Now you just need to work on your womanising!" a tall sandy haired youth grinned, jutting his hips forward,

Lizzy struggled to keep herself silent as the boys undressed and entered the showers.

When the sound of running water provided adequate cover, Lizzy let out a sigh and then a small yelp when Gideon stamped on her foot.

"Quickly, let's just grab his clothes and run!" Fabien hissed.

Lizzy grabbed both James`s Quidditch and his school robes, then on a sudden burst of inspiration pulled out her wand.

"Omdanne" she muttered and James`s boxers, the only item of clothes they had left him, turned hot pink.

The twins doubled up with silent laughter, as they scarpered from the room.

They silently slipped though the girls changing rooms, Lizzy dragging Fabien at one point away from the showers.

As they neared the outside door Lizzy heard voices "Sirius I highly doubt..."

"You heard her, she likes me!" Sirius`s voice said loudly.

Peters rarely used voice piped up "But, she hates you?"

The sneer was evident in Sirius`s tone "Girls pretend to hate you when they like you, duh!"

Gideon caught Lizzy`s eyes and mouthed one word "Cliché"

She hit him round the back of the head, and they managed to slip past the still arguing Remus and Sirius.


"Dam! What if they just summon him some clothes!" Lizzy shouted as they climbed up the marble stairs.

"They won't" Marlene said calmly.

"What makes you say that?" Charlotte asked, one eyebrow raised.

"Well, Peter isn't brainy enough and Remus will probably see it as karma..." Marlene smiled.

"And Sirius?" Edgar interrupted.

"Oh" Marlene laughed "Lizzys mucked up his brain."

Lizzy could have hit her "Pardon!"

"Well I don't think Sirius ever saw you like that before, but now..." Marlene trailed of as Lizzy blanched.

"That's not funny" Lizzy muttered as the others laughed, even Charlotte.

"What's the problem?" Millie laughed, putting her hand over her heart.

"Be quiet, you ...!" Lizzy began, beginning to lose her temper.

"There's the cow now!" Bart Crouch sneered from the bottom of the stairs, Regulus standing next to him.

"Pardon...!" Lizzy growled, moving back down the stairs.

"I want a word!" Regulus ordered coldly, flicking Barty away.

Lizzy was confused, why was he so angry?

He grabbed her arm and dragged her into the Great Hall.

He then turned to her, holding both her arms securely. "What is going on between you and Sirius?" he demanded.

Lizzy smiled weakly, he had to be joking. "Nothing" she said quietly.

His face was going red "Liar!"

Lizzy tried to pull away "Get of me. What's wrong with you?"

"What's going on?" he hissed holding her so tightly it hurt.

"Nothing you idiot!" Lizzy tried to twist out of his grip.

He held onto her, almost shaking with rage.

"I don't want you talking to him!" He ordered, pushing her up against the wall.

A flare of indignation burnt through Lizzys confusion.

She glared up at him "I beg your pardon"

"You won't ever talk to him again!" he repeated.

"Is that an order?" Lizzy asked coldly, her head screaming in indignation.

"Yes" Regulus stated, relaxing his grip a little.

Lizzy pulled away "No"

Regulus looked at her for a long moment, his face torn between anger and, hurt?

And then he slapped her across the face!

"Mr Black, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" a voice shouted from the doorway.

Professor McGonagall came running in, followed by Professor Slughorn.

Lizzy was reeling; unbidden tears spring up in her eyes.

Regulus dropped her like he had been burnt "Professor McGonagall!"

"Mr Black, what is going on! I thought you two got on, surely Quidditch isn't that important?" Professor Slughorn blustered.

Lizzy snorted, she couldn't help herself, Quidditch!

Professor McGonagall walked over to Lizzy "Are you alright?" she asked, in the gentlest voice Lizzy had ever heard her use.

"I'm fine" Lizzy insisted, trying to wipe away her tears and ignore the throbbing pain in her cheek.


"I can't believe you missed it! It was amazing; James tried to sneak around the common room in his boxers and well done for turning them pink! That was hilarious; a couple of the first years actually wet themselves laughing... What's wrong?" Charlotte paused for breath, looking at Lizzy who hadn't even smiled at the success of their prank.

"Nothing" Lizzy said quietly, smiling as she sat down at their table.

"Lizzy, what's that on your face?" Marlene asked quietly, as the others watched her nervously.

Lizzys hand automatically moved to her cheek "It's nothing" she snapped.

"O.k." Millie said defensively, "Anyway do you want to know what happened?"

"Course I do" Lizzy said, feeling slightly guilty for yelling.

"Well Marley was right, they didn't summon him clothes! James had to get all the way from the changing rooms to his dormitory in those pink boxers, nice touch by the way. Anyway when he got here everyone was laughing there heads of and loads of people took pictures, yeah Edgar will show you his. Yeah so he ran up to his dormitory, and his friends followed, though Sirius did ask where you were!" Millie finished, her eyebrows waggling.

"Very funny" Lizzy said half heartedly, staring at the fire.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Millie asked, prodding her gently on the arm.

Lizzy thought about telling them, but felt too ashamed "Yep, so where are the twins?"

"Judging by James`s blood pressure, they went into hiding with Edgar" Millie laughed.

"Fair enough!" Lizzy laughed, glancing around the common room for James.

"So, what are you going to do about Sirius?" Charlotte asked eagerly.

Lizzy shrugged "I don't know, I'll think of something."

"Aw don't worry; I'm sure James will kill him if he tries anything." Marlene teased.

"Hmm" Lizzy acknowledged, her mind wandering back to Regulus.

Why was he so bothered?

Why did he care?

Why hadn't he asked her side of the story first?

Why?

"Lizzy? ELIZABETH POTTER WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Millie snapped.

"HE HIT ME O.K.!" Lizzy yelled before running up to the dormitory.


"What?" Charlotte said disbelievingly, Lizzy had just finished telling them what had happened.

"Yeah, do that for about an hour and you should end up where I am now!" Lizzy said nastily.

"Bloody hell" Millie said weakly, they were all shocked into silence.

"Lizzy..." Marlene began.

"I don't want to hear it! Whatever reasonable explanation you've got, I don't care!" Lizzy growled.

"But you do care, that's why you are so upset!" Marlene pointed out, the other two watching the exchange nervously.

"So! I hate him- he had no-he hit me!" Lizzy stuttered incoherently.

Marlene smiled slightly "You are proving my point; please just think about it from his point of view!"

"No!" Lizzy said shortly, staring down at her bed.

"Lizzy..." Marlene grabbed her hand.

"Marley!" Millie interrupted "Just leave it, ok?"

"So, what do you want to do?" Charlotte asked, moving over to Lizzys bed.

"I`d like to do some drawing, though if you guys want to do something else I don't mind" Lizzy said quietly.

"Well I'm going to take my laundry down" Charlotte said practically.

Millie launched herself onto Lizzys bed "Cheers Lottie, it's by my bed"

Charlotte rolled her eyes "Does anyone else want me to take there's?"

Lizzy grinned sheepishly "If you wouldn't mind..."

Marlene laughed "I`ll help you"


"But why did you decide to draw us as fairies?" Gideon asked his cousin completely confused.

Lizzy shrugged "I felt like it, anyway you're not a fairy you're a pixie!"

"Yeah, she made you three pixies and us girl's fairies!" Millie explained, helping herself to a second helping of mashed potato.

"It's really cute" Marlene said admiringly "Thanks for putting me in white."

"Well Lottie had to be in pink, didn't she?" Lizzy said, smiling broadly.

"I'm not that bad!" Charlotte objected.

"You really are!" Fabien laughed.

"I AM GOING TO KILL..." Somebody yelled from down the table.

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Hi James, something wrong?"

James came running up followed by his friends "Were you in on this!?" he demanded, spraying Lizzys face with spit.

Lizzy wiped her face "Ew, I asked for the news not the weather!"

Sirius laughed at this feeble joke, causing Lizzy to feel rather uncomfortable.

"What possessed you, you are so immature!" James yelled at the twins who were smirking.

Lizzy couldn't resist "Don't start a war you can't finish big bro`"

Sirius let out another bark like laugh, causing Charlotte to raise her eyebrows.

"Garr" James muttered, before sighing and sitting next to Marlene.

"Does this mean we win?" Gideon asked angelically.

"You wait" James muttered glaring at him.

The other boys sat down, and much to her relief it was Remus who managed to squeeze next to her.

Unfortunately Edgar mindlessly moved up to let Sirius have the seat directly opposite her "Hi Lizzy, did you enjoy the match?" he asked brightly, ladling food onto his plate.

"Yeah, it was good. Didn't you try out this year?" Lizzy asked, determined to keep things friendly.

"Yeah, apparently I was too violent, imagine that to violent to be a beater!" Sirius waffled, his blue eyes fixed on her eagerly.

"I suppose if you were to enthusiastic, you might hit your own teammates." Remus interjected.

"Yeah that's probably it, still its fun to be in the crowd!" Lizzy smiled.

"It can be very interesting" Sirius grinned, an ominous twinkle in his eyes.

Lizzy sighed "Ah, yeah about that...", then suddenly over Sirius`s shoulder she caught Regulus`s eye.

He was glaring at her, and clearly mouthed one word "Traitor"

Lizzy locked her jaw, how dare he...

Sirius suddenly grabbed her hand "Yes?"

Lizzy turned to him, he was grinning at her lopsidedly like a hopeful puppy.

She glanced back at Regulus and a sudden evil thought sprung into her head, Revenge!

She leant forward and their lips met, his own eagerly drawing her in.

It was warm and safe and felt so exciting and grown up.

His hand buried itself in her hair, holding her tightly but protectively.

The kiss seemed to last forever and then suddenly Sirius pulled away "This is o.k. right?" he asked her.

The concern melted her heart and made her forget everything else.

"Oh yes" she said softly, before leaning in hungrily for more.


"Look, I know I shouldn't..." Lizzy began as they walked into the girl's dormitory.

"Have you lost your mind?!" Millie shouted over her.

"Why shouldn't go out with Sirius, he likes me and..." Lizzy defended, hands on hips.

"You don't like him though!" Marlene said accusingly "I would have thought you would have known better!"

Lizzy saw the implication "It's nothing like that!"

"No its worse you're using him!"Millie said disgustedly "Using him to get back at Regulus!"

"And why shouldn't I!" Lizzy screamed at her "I'm not a possession to be ordered about!"

"What about Sirius" Charlotte said calmly "I mean you obviously enjoyed those kisses, but it's nothing more serious than that."

"So, this Sirius Black we`re talking about. We`ll last a week before he gets bored and that's fine with me! So leave it!" Lizzy ordered.

Marlene still looked angry but Millie was appeased by the reasonable prediction of what would happen and Charlotte was obviously dying to ask her something.

"Marley? I promise it's not like that..." Lizzy said gently, moving towards her friend.

Marlene moved into the bathroom "We`ll see" she said ominously, before shutting the door.

Charlotte waited about three seconds "So what was it like?" she asked eagerly.

Millie rolled her eyes at Lizzy but still looked at her curiously.

"Well it was amazing, like me and him were the only people in the world and I felt, safe." Lizzy tried to explain.

"Safe?" Millie raised her eyebrows.

Lizzy laughed "Yeah I know, but that's how it felt!"

"It sounds so brilliant" Charlotte sighed, staring out of the window dreamily.

Something clicked in Lizzys brain "Merlin is this o.k. Lottie?" she asked nervously.

Charlotte smiled sadly "Well it was never going to really happen, was it? I mean he knew I liked him for ages, as soon as he got a hint that you might be interested..."

Lizzy bit her lip "Maybe you could get Remus that would be fair."

Millie laughed "Yeah imagine that double date, both of you staring at the other ones date."

Charlotte smiled "I was thinking more, well..."

"Newt?" Marlene said from the bathroom doorway.

"Yeah, what do you reckon?" Charlotte smiled sheepishly at the others.

"That would be good! You and the Australian surfer boy! I can picture that!" Millie laughed.

"What about you Millie?" Lizzy asked, leaning back on her bed.

She shrugged "To be honest I'm not bothered! Marley?"

"Never you mind" Marlene said defensively going pink.

"Ooo, wonder who that is then?" Lizzy teased.

"I'm going to bed now!" Marlene announced diving under the covers and pulling the curtains shut.

The others laughed and got ready for bed themselves.


So, was the kiss o.k? (I have unfortunatly little experience in that field)

Also, pretty major plot twist so opinions welcome.!
