Chapter Nine: not a chance

"Tell me..."

"No!"

"Tell me now!"

"No!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll never take you to a Queen concert ever again..."

"No!"

"Lyla...."

"Sirius...."

"Tell me...."

"Never!" I giggled as Sirius threw a bag of Bertie Botts a me. "Plus, you wouldn't believe me if I did tell you so just quit asking!" I told him before shoving my nose in the air quite snottily.

"Is it McGonagal?" he asked with an upturned lip.

"Are you trying to be funny?"

"No. You said I'd never guess so I'm throwing out the most odd and weird possible suitors."

"I'm not going to tell you. You will just have to wait and let things play themselves out yeah?"

"Please please please tell me Clover? Don't you love your Padfooty friend?"

I laughed and shook my head at him.

"I'd bet as I flooed all the way to James's just to ride the Hogwarts Express with you..."

"Please tell me?"

"No."

"I bet he could get it out of you."

"He could not."

"He would."

"Would not!"

"Will!"

"Wont."

"Lyla..." he whined. "Will you please just tell me who it is already? I'll not tell Remus! I promise!"

"Nope. I'm not telling."

"Damn Remus for being a bloody Prefect! If only James and Pete weren't off trying to get tail."

"Are you being discriminative of the female gender Sirius?" I asked raising my eye brow.

"No!" he grinned sheepishly. "Why ever would I be..."

"Mnnhmmn."

"You bet Clover my pet." he said popping a peppermint toad into his mouth. "Mnnhmmn Minty Fresh!"

I rolled my eyes and looked out the window of the train. The rolling lush green country side was moving past at an alarmingly fast rate. Green was blurring with rich golds and dark browns quickly, drawing up a symphony of color before the naked eye. The thick dark sky was contorted in heavy rain, dark grey clouds and black clouds crushing against each other creating large booms of thunder that were heard just under the loud roaring of the Hogwarts Express engine. There were no birds seen in the sky today, they were all quite happily off staying dry in they're warm nests. It was chilly, though I never did get very cold. Ever since the Dementor attack, I've been getting cold and colder much more often that what was usual. A simple breeze in the castle could cause me to have goosebumps pop up and begin to shiver violently. Frank say's I should go and talk to Madame Pomphrey. Though I probably wont.

"So, is it Lily?" he inquired catching me off guard.

"What?" I asked looking up at him confused. "Is Lily what?"

"The one Remus ends up with."

I broke out into a large bout of a laughing fit.

"No. have you or haven't you already got that is James and Lily. Not Remus."

"Did I just hear what I think I just heard?" came a sing song voice from the door of the compartment. Of bloody course, James Potter just had to show up at this moment. It only figures to prove that James was secretly out to get information out of me.

"Depends on what you exactly heard."

He grinned before plopping down next to Sirius with a sigh and groan.

"So how are Mr. & Mrs. Padfoot eh?"

Sirius punched James as Peter walked through the compartment door. He jumped up and sat down next to me in the blink of an eye.

"Um. What the hell?"

"He had to be the one to sit next to Mrs. Padfoot."

One swift kick in the shin and a groan later...

"So how was Hogwarts over the last bit of summer?" the rat asked.

Sirius glared of course at Hogwarts resident stupid rat bastard.

"It was awesome. Loads of reading time."

James grinned a smarmy grin.

"Just like our Padfoot to pick a Moony like Mrs. Padfoot..."

I glared at him.

"One more word about me and Sirius being lovers and you'll never get to have your Lily."

The rat laughed.

"I'd believe her James. She looks pretty serious."

"Of course, she looks pretty!" Sirius laughed.

We all looked at him in confusion.

"Pete said she looks pretty serious. Serious Sirius. Get it..."

I rolled my eyes.

"So I managed to get some action this summer." the rat said with a grin. "And trust me mates, it was one hundred percent amazing."

Action? He's bragging about his death eater horrendousness?

"No way!" James let out, dropping his jaw in shock. "Was it good?"

Ok confused here...

"It was amazing Prongs. She did things with her tongue I'd never thought possible."

So wait, they were snogging?

"Wow..." James was drooling. "Did you, you know..."

"Yep. It was hot and sticky."

Since when I snogging hot and sticky?

"Eww Worms. Thats gross."

"How is loving it up gross.?"

James looked over at me and noticed my confused face.

"What do you think Clover? Our lovely Marauderette."

I raised my eyebrow.

"About snogging?"

Sirius turned to me.

"Who said anything about snogging? I mean, yeah it's part of the fun but... what gives?"

"Wait, if you aren't talking about snogging what are you talking about?" I asked confused.

Three different laughs echoed through the train compartment.

"What?"

James grinned and leaned forward to me.

"Lyla, we're talking about sex."

Sex.... oh....

I started to blush.

"Sorry if my minds not in the gutter..."

"Aww our poor little Clover is embarrassed." Sirius said slinging his arm around my shoulder. "How ever shalt she survive?"

I glared at him and shrugged his arm off.

"Thanks, I was only confused you prat."

"I'll bet..." James said turning to the rat bastard.

"So we should change the conversation yes?" Sirius asked biting off the end of his licorice wand. "So, those Cannons eh?"

I let out a yip of laughter.

"Those Cannons, suck! Its all about Ireland."

Sirius narrowed his eyebrows.

"No its not! Those Ireland dunderheads suck! Its all about the Cannons. They're top in they're league."

"They are?" I asked incredulously. "No bloody way! The cannons suck."

"The Chudley Cannons do not suck! They are the best that Quidditch has to offer!"

"No they are most certainly not!"

"Yes they are!"

"Whatever. I doubt it so humph." I said huffing.

"Prongs back me up here!"

"Sorry Pads, I have to agree with Clover. The cannons do suck. Its all about the Ballycastle Bats..." James sighed looking up dreamily into the ceiling.

It was then that the compartment door swung open again revealing none other than.... Frank Longbottom i.e Alice's not mine.

"Hey cads, and the lady. Hows it hanging?" he asked plopping down next to me.

James grinned.

"Good. Hows it feel to be a Seventh year?"

Frank smiled, his fluffy brown hair swinging to the side as he chuckled.

"It feels good, but at the same time it feels foreboding."

Sirius nodded, smiling his most charming smile.

"Well it must at least be a bit exciting right? One more year and your off into the abyss right?"

I sighed and slumped down into my seat. I was tired...

"Well yeah. So what are you cads, and err lady talking about yeah?" Frank asked lounging back into the seat.

"Making Whoopee!" Sirius said jumping up and grinning.

"Wow. So who fed the snake?"

I slumped down further. Yes, that was the one thing I loved talking about, sex. And worse was listening about the stupid rat bastards sex life...

"I did." the afore mentioned stupid rat bastard said with a grin.

"Well congrats there mate. I'm sure it was memorable."

The stupid rat bastard grinned.

"Oh, it definitely was..."

"Ok..." Sirius said grinning. "So you and Alice eh?"

Frank blushed.

"Well yeah. She's my everything. I'll miss her when I'm off at the ministry next year." he glanced off into the countryside scenery. "You guys and err lady will make sure she's ok right?"

"Of course Frank." James said rolling her eyes. "Like any of us will let anything happen to our lovely Alice."

"I second on James's statement." the stupid rat bastard said grinning.

Yeah bloody right... more like make sure she's alright so that he can kill her.

"I third." Sirius added ripping off the head of a chocolate frog. "Have to keep our girlies safe." he said slinging his arm around my shoulder again.

I rolled my eyes and leaned on his shoulder. Damn I was tired.

"Of course." the afore mentioned Longbottom said smiling. "We must right guys?"

I sighed and closed my eyes. I really was very tired. I guess you could place the blame on all of the nightmares I'd been having since the whole Dementor ordeal. I tried to keep all negative thoughts from my head and replace them with good ones. Hmmn. The burrow. On a rainy afternoon. The damp smell of soil and rose drifting up through the air, claiming its way into everyones noses. I imagined being out in the apple orchard, sitting next to the largest tree at the far right end. Rain pouring down in buckets onto me, covering me in that salty rainy goodness that I craved to smell. I always did like the smell of storms, they always made me feel oddly at peace. I breathed in heavily, the scent of storm pounding into my nostrils. It was such a lovely smell, I'm sure that I could just get lost in this smell, and never return.

I imagined my Mum and Da, both of them smiling at me and Fred as we boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time all those years ago. I missed Da's Cinnamon scent and smile, Mum's oddly fantastical blue eyes and hug, Fred's crazed dead thing obsession... I took in another deep breath and was rewarded with the imagined cinnamon scent that made me want to fall even deeper into the sleepy chasms that were building themselves up like bricks around me. I always liked scents. They were like a persons dna you know? To the nose though. I felt the sleep pull me further, my thoughts were getting heavier, my mental images getting foggier. I missed my family, that much was obvious. What I wouldn't give to be with them right now, back at the Burrow in one of Grandma Molly's warm afghan blankets....

I was running. I had no destination nor a purpose. I was simply running.

I ran faster and faster from the person behind me, they were chasing me. Getting closer and closer to me. I didn't feel danger from them, I only felt avoidance. I turned down a deserted alley way to my right and pounded down the cobblestones as fast and as hard as I could. I needed to get away from them. It was the most necessary thing. I had to do it, to save myself. If I didn't my focus would be lost and I'd fall back into the dark chasms of pain I'd come from. And heaven and hell knows just how desperately I don't want to ever go back there, to that hell. I moved on, running faster, through alleys and streets and squares. But my legs began to get heavy. Heavy like the weight of a thousand bricks of pure lead holding me back. I tried with everything in me to keep going, to ignore the pain of the lead bricks that were holding me back. I collapsed into the cobblestone below me, hearing the footfalls behind me growing closer. I could see they're outline now. It was a man, in a black cloak with silver fastenings. He was calling out worriedly to me at my perch on the cobblestone.

"Lyla. Wake up."

My eyes flickered open to near darkness. I was in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express with the Marauders, Frank, Alice and... Lily.

"Are you ok? Looked like you were having a bad dream?" Sirius asked worriedly. "Is it a side affect of the Dementor attack?"

Lily eyes steadily grew and then narrowed darkly.

"What Dementor attack?"

I sighed, groaned and launched into an explanation.

"We were camping this summer. I got up in the middle of the night to use a privy. When I came back I was cornered by a couple of Dementor's who thought it would be quite nice to attack me." I paused thoughtfully.. "No harm done. M'still here, would take a lot more than one stupid rat faced Dementor to bring me down."

"Oh my gosh!"

And with that I was covered in red. Lily red.

"Like I said Lils, it would take a lot more than a Dementor to take me down." I said hugging her back, patting her a bit.

"But that must have been horrible. How and why would a Dementor attack you?"

I shrugged.

"Heaven only knows..."

ooOooOooOoo

ooOooOooOoo

I was pacing back and forth in front of the room of requirement furiously. Frank and I have still had no luck in procuring that damned diadem, so this time I was thinking of the diadem in general. I passed the tapestry or the third and final time before glaring and slamming my fists on the tapestry. Nothing! there was still nothing! I glowered again heavily at the tapestry before I sighed and sunk down to my knees in front of the tapestry. Merlin's Blood Balls! I needed to get that damned diadem now! I needed the stupid bugger now! Gahh! I hate this crap! All I want is that molded old bastard dead in a coffin NOW! He needed to be taken care of now, before more innocent people die. And all that was keeping me from taking that bastard down was a tapestry. A stupid retarded tapestry that wont bloody give me what I friggin want! Merlin why wouldn't Uncle Harry just have told us how to get into the place where the damned thing was kept? 'Stupid shit!' I screeched in my mind. I stood up again and begin to pace. So the molded old bastard hid it in the school eh? 'Think Lyla think!' Where would a molded old stupid bastard hide something so important to him...?

'An Important Room' I thought strongly walking by the tapestry once, then twice and then finally a third. Nothing happened.

Merlin's Sweaty Balls! What the fuck?

"Lyla? What are you doing up here?" came a squeaky voice from behind interupted me.

I turned to face the stupid rat bastard.

"Thinking." I told him grinning. "I have always loved to think." I said tapping my temple in demonstration.

"Interesting." he nodded "Not with Padfoot?"

I shook my head.

"Nah, he had to... what would you call it...?" I paused thoughtfully before flapping my arms about. "A Bird to follow."

The stupid rat bastard laughed deeply. I mean he actually friggin laughed! Ha! Take that you stupid rat. Who made the bastard laugh now?

Bastard.... fucking stupid bastard...

"Well I guess that sounds like Padfoot. Always chasing his tail. Must have you quite upset though huh?"

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Jeeze louise Wormy, I don't even belong in this time. The very last thing I need to do is fall in love with someone here. Plus, Padfoot and I are just good friends. Even though he's charming enough for me to actually consider, I so reconsider. So therefore is why I will hence forth not fall for our lovely Padfoot..."

"Right." the rat nodded. "For now..."

"No.. forever.!"

"So.... do you want to go down to the kitchens with me?"

Hmmn I wonder if the word kitchen spell out into a code name meaning kill?

"Nah, I really just want to err..." I pointed to the tapestry. "Think..."

Of ways to get that molded old fool to fall flat into his dark and dreary demise.

About getting the moldy fool to fall to his demise.

"Ok. Well if you see the others will you let them know that I'm in the kitchens?"

I grinned.

"But of course Wormy." I said ruffling his hair affectionately. Rather, mock affectionately.

He then walked off and I turned right back to that damned tapestry that was in between me and the fucking Horcrux.

'I need to hide something.' I thought. Walking pass the tapestry once, before doubling back. 'I need to hide something.' I passed it a third time and a door popped up.

I reached forward for the and handle, looking around me to make sure that no one was watching. I then turned the handle quickly and bolted into the room, locking the door behind me. I sighed thankfully, Merlin all I wanted was to get the stupid Horcrux and somehow find sleep. I mean jeeze, with the combination of no sleep, constantly trying to pry into the Room of Requirement to get this damned Horcrux and to top that all off, the first day of classes was tomorrow. I surveyed the room quickly, it was filled with old books, junk, a hoard of old wobbly looking book shelves and slightly dangerous looking weapons. I turned and walked down the rows and rows of book cases filled with not only old books but other odd items like ever bashing boomerangs and bitting tea cups. I examined each and every single shelf as I walked slowly down the isle. No diadem... damned. I then turned down the next isle, rubbing my eyes blearily. I found nothing down that isle either. Growling I turned down the third isle and was about half way down when I examined a rather old ugly statue of an old wizard with a dusty wig on it. Just atop the wig, sitting rather carefully was a tarnished silver tiara... the diadem...

I started to grin like a manic freak and snatched the diadem up quickly, stuffing it into a bag that I had slung over my shoulder. I sighed gratefully and turned down the isle back towards the exit. I headed to the door passing the dangerous looking weaponry, the ever bashing boomerangs and other said items. I pulled open the door quickly, still grinning my manic 'Ha! take that I win!' grin. I stepped outside the door and watched as the door transformed back into an old dusty tapestry. I grinned again and turned around to head to the headmasters office but can you guess what? I had some people standing in my way blocking me. And can you guess who they were? a ring of scary looking death eater wannabes... Woot! Today is most definitely my day. Avery, Nott, Mcluber, Rookwood, Snape, Black, Black and Pettigrew all stood there glaring at me, they're wands drawn dauntingly at my face. Whoop! I had just found myself in the hands of the same bastards who wanted me dead and moldy man to rule the world. Don't you just love my luck...?

"Well well well Miss Winchester. What do we have here?" Severus Snape drawled holding his hands behind his back haughtily. "What ever is it that your doing?"

Regulus Black smirked and chuckled sadistically.

"I do believe Severus, that its my lovely brothers play toy of the week. I must say that I am quite excited to be doing this..." he let out a string of daunting hallow laughs.

"Aww, poor little Winchester. It appears to me that that ungrateful cousin of mine is not here to keep your pretty little head safe now doesn't it?" Narcissa told me with her snobby voice. "I wonder however will he survive when we've killed you..."

"What the hell do you stupid ass bastards want?"

The stupid ass rat bastard walked forward and rolled his eyes.

"Didn't think you were quite that dim witted. We want what it is that you have safely hidden in that bag of yours..."

I narrowed my eyes at him. Merlin where was the Padfoot man of mine when I needed him? Oh yeah, out finding bird...

"I hide nothing rat." I spat at him. "I don't hide things thanks. Not like you."

"Like me? You know nothing of me Winchester."

"Oh quite the contrary you stupid rat bastard. I know more about you that I let on."

A deep voice boomed down the corridor.

"What in heavens name is going on here?" asked Professor Albert Hack, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

"Nothing Professor. I'm just being held up by this bunch." I nodded to the group in front of me.

"Very well Miss...?"

"Winchester."

"Very well Miss Winchester. You may leave."

I smirked at the stupid rat bastard and turned down the corridor before breaking into a run. I ran as fast as I possibly could to the headmasters office. He would know what to do with the afore mentioned item. I skidded to a halt in front of the gargoyle, gave the password before tearing up the staircase running while it was turning, I hopped off and ran to the door before knocking heavily upon it.

Twenty minutes later found me in the Great Hall with Sirius and his bird in tow.

"So all is happy in the magical land of lamp posts?" Sirius asked wiggling his eye brows at me.

The magical land of lamp posts. Code name for kicking moldy in the fucking damn ass!

"Of course."

"I don't like this Siri. I though we were going to go somewhere more private?" the bird asked with a glare in my direction.

Wow I was objectifying women.... and I'm a woman. But hey, she's one of those prissy bitchy girls who I hate so... yeah, if bird means bitch whore slut face, then I'm down.

"I don't care Ella, she's my friend and you'll just have to deal with it.

Ok... this was annoying.

"I'm going to head up to the dorms and have a hot naked pillow fight with Lily and Alice."

"Really?" Sirius asked with wide eyes. "Can I watch."

I smacked him.

"I was being sarcastic you idiot. I'll see you later." I told him before walking out into the entrance hall.

I climbed the moving staircases and headed up to the Gryffindor Common room.

When I'd entered the girls dorms five minutes later I found Lily and Alice giggling over a magazine.

"Oi! Whats cracking m'ladies?"

Alice looked up with a smile.

"Whats up with the 'm'ladies? Hanging out with your beau too much eh?"

I raised my eyebrow.

"Who is my 'supposed' beau?"

"Well Sirius of course."

I growled at her.

"What is it with people thinking that there is something going on with Sirius and I?"

"Isn't there?" Lily asked amusedly. "It sure in the bloody hell looks like it."

Again I growled.

"Nope, he is just my friend. And only my friend."

"Right. so... guess what?" Alice looked up all excited. "Frank was over this summer."

"Ooh... that sounds fun. Loads of lip smacking snogging?"

She started to blush.

"Yes."

Lily giggled.

"Was there more than that Ally cat?"

Her blush deepened.

"No way!" I said plopping down on her bed. "Seriously?"

She nodded.

"And oh my merlin it was amazing..."

Wow, practically everyone I knew was doing it... well minus me, lily and Remus probably. Maybe Potter...

"Wow Ally cat. Thats soo cool." lily gushed. "Was he sweet?"

"Of course..." she trailed away.

"Wow. And Frank didn't even brag..."

Alice looked at me.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I was sitting in the marauders compartment on the train ride right, and Peter was going on and on about his summer loving sex life crap and I wanted to gag. So then Frank comes in and they're all talking about it and he never once said or indicated that anything happened between the two of you. He only said that he loved you and was going to miss you like hell next year when he's off at the ministry." I grinned. "He's the perfect gentleman really, I think Remus only ups him a little bit."

"Really?"

"Yes. It's really sweet Al. I'm so happy for you." I told her while popping a chocolate of Lily's in my mouth. "So who wants to celebrate by a toast yeah?"

"Toast?" Lily asked narrowing her eyes. "Please tell me that you don't have any alcohol Lyla."

"What can I say, I've been hanging out with the Marauders too much." I grinned. "Have some fun Lillers. We only have a bit of time here on earth, just enjoy it while you can." I told her hopping up and walking over to my trunk where I procured a couple of bottles of firewhisky. I handed one of them to Lily, one to Alice and kept the last for myself.

"To Love! And Peace! Alice getting shagged!"

"Lyla!"

"Sorry Lillers. To Alice loving it up!"

I downed my bottle in about three goes.

"So what else to talk about..." Alice trailed off."How about James?"

I smirked.

"Oh yeah, accidentally seen him washing on our camping trip. Wow was that a sight..."

"No!" Alice's jaw dropped.

"Oh yeah, he's got quite the bum..." I wiggled my eyebrows. "And his..." I was cut off by Lily.

"So the cannons eh?"

oOoOoOoOoOo

oOoOoOoOoOo

"Alright class! Alright. Settle down." Professor Slughorn boomed pompously over the room. "Today we have a very special lesson planned before us." he smiled wistfully, his large stomach protruding from his robes, crystallized pineapple stuck to his trousers. "As the first Lesson as sixth years, I like to start off with a rather nice newt level set of potions." he smiled walking past mine and Sirius's table. "Now can anyone tell me which three these potions." he gestured to three cauldrons that had different colored liquids residing in them. "Are?"

Of course both Lily's and Remus's hands were in the air.

"Mr. Lupin?"

Remus nodded towards the cauldron filled with the gold liquid.

"The gold colored potion is Felix Felicis"

"Ten points to Gryffindor m'boy. Now lets see here, who knows what this potion does? Mr. Potter?"

James sighed.

"I have no clue professor."

"Very well, perhaps Mr. Lupin can help you out."

"Liquid Luck. Its illegal to use during tests and sporting events."

"Very good, five more points m'boy. Miss Evans?"

"The clear one is Veritaserum Sir."

"Very good Miss Evans, ten points for Gryffindor."

Slughorn surveyed the room.

"Perhaps Miss Winchester can give me the identification of the last one?"

I growled and sighed. I looked over at the potions again and sniffed.

Cinnamon, Rain and Something strangely familiar....

Amortentia.

"Its Amortentia Sir. Strongest love potion in the world. It gives the person who is sniffing it the scent of the things that attract them the most."

"Very good Miss Winchester. Another ten points for Gryffindor. Now today's lesson is to make one of these potions here. Misuse of these potions will come with a strict punishment. Now I shall assign the potions..."

Ten minutes later I was chopping ginseng while Sirius was lighting the burner.

"Amortentia... it only stands to reason that we get to brew it."

"And why is that?" I asked pushing the ginseng to the side and pulling over a daisy root.

"Because I am Sirius Black, king of Love...."

"Right." I said rolling my eyes. "This potion is going to take forever...."

"Well at least were not dong Felix Felicis like Remus and James. Poor them, it takes what, six months or something?"

"Dunno. Thankfully we can have this done by the end of class though."

"True." he said filling the cauldron with the required amount of water.

Two hours, forty two minutes and thirteen seconds later found us finishing the potion.

"Ok add the lovelock." I instructed while stirring counter clockwise.

"Got it." he said dropping the brown root into the potion.

Instantly my nostrils were over whelmed with three distinct scents. One; Cinnamon that reminded me of my father's aftershave. Two; the smell of rain mixed with roses that you could smell at the Burrow. And Three; something musky and old. Like the pages of old books but with something completely different...

"What do you smell?" Sirius asked in my ear.

"Rain, Cinnamon and something else that I cant really put a label on."

"Hmmmn. I smell Grass, Raspberry and something that smells a lot like a cross between damp earth and vanilla.

I nodded.

"Like the pretty smells or what?" I joked at him. "We should put this in a flagon and give it to sluggy."

"Yes and of course."

I pulled out a flagon to pour the contents into. Sirius held the label and was carefully pouring it into said flagon. It was as the flagon was almost filled up that I felt warmth spread over my arm.

"Padfoot! You spilled it on me." I snapped. Corking the flagon. "What the hell am I going to do..." I trailed off... "Wow, I feel oddly fuzzy..."

"Professor Slughorn!" Sirius called out, his deep rich dark brown curls swinging in the breeze about the dungeon. "Come quick!" he called in his oh so deep and dreamy voice.

"What is it m'boy?"

"I accidentally spilled the potion on her hand. Look at her face. You don't think..."

"Skin can still absorb Mr. Black. How much was it?"

"Only a couple of drops..."

"She should be fine in a couple of hours."

I smiled candidly at the two of them.

"Here Professor." I smiled handing the Amortentia over to Slughorn. "Its done."

"Very well Miss Winchester. May I ask whom it is your drawn to at the moment?"

"What do you mean?" I asked with a giggle.

"Who is it that you've become attracted to m'dear."

"Oh." I giggled and blushed. "Do I really have to tell?"

"Yes m'dear. You do."

I sighed and giggled before blushing and leaning forward into his ear so that no one, especially Sirius could tell.

"Sirius." I whispered.

"Aha. And what do you make of this?"

"Not much, I just think he's oh so dreamy."

"So no infatuation?"

"No, just... dreamy... he's soo absolutely dreamy right Professor?"

"If that is what you think m'dear." he chuckled. "Mr. Black, please take her to the Hospital wing will you?"

"Sure I will Professor." he said grinning. "It'd be my pleasure." his ears went red.

Wow, how come I never noticed before how attractive he was? With his cornflower blue eyes and long rich black curls? His toned muscles and aristocratic facial features... Hmmn what I wouldn't give to snog him crazy right about now...

He picked up our bags and steered me out of the classroom.

"So, care to tell me who it is?" he asked as we walked up the stairs to the entrance hall.

"Nope." I giggled. "I really can't."

"Oh really?"

"Really." I told him as we walked pass the great hall. "Your only charged with getting me to the infirmary. Not trying to pry the secret of whom I just happen to find oh so tasty out of me."

"But I thought you couldn't lie to me."

"I'm not." I told him as we reached the corridor that led to said infirmary.

"Are too."

"Am not!"

"Are so..."

"I am not. I'm just with holding information." I humphed.

"Tell me...."

"No!"

"Tell me...."

"I'm not going to."

"So who does Remus end up with?"

"Nymphadora Tonks..." I clamped my hand over my mouth. Stupid Sirius and his stupid wonderful handsome attractiveness.

"No!! my little cousin!"

"Yeah. Told you that you wouldn't believe me."

"My little cousin Nymphadora?"

"Yes."

"Andromeda's daughter?"

"Yes."

"Wow.... talk about liking it young."

"Told you..."

"Wow. This is going to be awesome! My Remmy taking care of my little elf." he sniffled dramatically. "I'm soo proud."

"I'm sure you are."

"Who are you attracted to?"

"You you silly." I giggled before clamping my hand on my face in horror.

He grinned.

"I knew it!" he thrust his fist into the air. "I bloody knew it."

I rolled my eyes and walked into the infirmary.

"See you later Sirius."

"I'll be waiting." he waggled his eyebrows all cute like.

oOoOoOoOoOo

oOoOoOoOoOo

"So wait, you got a dose of Amortentia splashed on you by Sirius?"

"Yes..."

"And you didn't form an obsession?"

"Correct..."

"Do you realize why you didn't form an obsession?"

"Because I only got splashed on the hand. Lillers I don't know where your going with this one..."

"You already love him."

"Of course I do. He's my best friend."

"You love him more than that..."

"Do not! We've been through this already."

"Regardless, now what did you do in retaliation?"

"I cursed him."

"Why?"

"Because I wanted to see what he'd look like with ears and a tail..."

"No!"

"Oh yes." I smiled at the common room fire.

It was then that the portrait hole opened up and a very adorable looking Sirius who had a tail and cute fluffy ears climbed through a gaggle of birds hovering over and around him. He looked over at me and grinned before walking over and plopping down next to me, his gaggle of birds still following.

"I must thank you for this ever lovely prank. All of the ladies enjoy it right?" he asked the gaggle.

"Oh yes Siri..." one of them cooed. I wanted to gag.

"You what, have fan girls or something?"

He smirked.

"As it would appear..."

I rolled my eyes.

"You are such a dork."

"I am most certainly not a Whale Penis."

Of course this had Lily rolling on the floor laughing.

"Ok, your a git. Better? But of course, your my friend the git, so therefore I'm entitled to love you. Horrible thing to get involved with."

"Mnnhmmn. I know you do."

I glowered.

"I'm never going to live this down am I?"

He smirked his most charming smirk that he could ever possibly muster.

"Not a chance."

Authors Note: Well there you have it, chapter nine. Very long, but I had a load of things to get through. Ta darlings! Oh yeah, who's a Sirius/Lyla supporter? I know I am, they just have a load of crap to get through before that...

Ta! herb3
