Chapter 9: Announcements Made

"So, Sirius what were Tonksie and Charlie-kins really doing in that classroom?..." asked Remus curiously, as he watched Charlie and Tonks flirting as Charlie was aiming grapes at Tonks mouth which she was moving rapidly like a clown who catches ping-pong balls only in every directions, never catching one, vice-versa. "I bet Charlie would rather be doing other things with that mouth," thought Remus, smirking.

"Um, well they weren't snotting, we know that much Moony," said James.

"Oh my god," groaned Lily, "daft much?"

"Anyways, Padfoot, what were they doing?" asked James.

Sirius's mouth which was his normal smile changed to a cheshire grin, "they were sno-" he was cut off by Hestia's foot again. "What the bloody hell is your problem woman?" hissed Sirius, quietly so only she could hear.

"It is frankly none of our sodding buisness and why do you get to say it?" she asked, furiously.

"'Cause they asked me" argued Sirius.

"Well, I've got a better idea."

"What?" asked Sirius.

Hestia whispered what her idea was in Sirius's ear, while the others looked on curiously. "You woman, are a bloody genius," he announced, kissing the top of her head, as everyone looked on, the four marauders and two girls, Lily and Emmeline, were not suprised by his action as they were used to it by now as Hestia was Sirius's best girl friend.

Sirius stood up on the seat, offering a hand to Hestia as she started to count backwards from five, "Five, four, three, two, one."

"TONKS AND CHARLIE SNOGGED," they both announced to the entire great hall, luckily it was only the students who heard though because the teachers were currently in a meeting.

Tonks and Charlie stopped instantly what they were doing, as all eyes in the great hall were on them, including the Slytherins. Tonks and Charlie looked on sheepishly and glared at Hestia and Sirius furiously, as they were both thinking the same thing, "is it possible for the ground to open up and swallow me, now?"

They both looked at each other, deciding they should get revenge. Charlie whispered his idea into Tonks' ear and they both simultaniously agreed it would be best to do it at dinner, in front of all the teachers.

The day passed as in it's usually dull routine, classes were as boring as ever, and it was finally time for dinner.

They walked to the Great Hall's door again and sat down in their usual spot, they were there before everyone else and started to pile their plates as the other students and teachers began to sit, it was then Tonks and Charlie decided to act on their plan, they both signaled to each other and Charlie muttered an incantation, as a giant banner flew in with big writing and hung down from the teachers table and read: SIRIUS BLACK AND HESTIA JONES HAVE SHAGGED!, everyone in the hall looked at Hestia and Sirius in disbelief and the pair suddenly saw what all the commotion was about, a random girl from Ravenclaw came up to Hestia and slapped her across the face, "What the hell?" asked Hestia, holding her cheek.

The girl replied, "that's for sleeping with Sirius, you Gryffindor whore!"

Hestia finally remembered who that was as all were looking on curiously, it was one Sirius's ex-girlfriends. As all looked on, she was starting to feel tears form in her eyes and she ran from the hall, up to the Gryffindor common room and spat out the password to the Fat Lady. She then ran up the stairs and collapsed on the bed, what she didn't notice was that the two groups had ran after her.

When the three girls climbed the stairs to their dormitory, they saw Hestia collapsed on her bed.

"Hes, sweetie is there something you need to tell us?" asked Emmeline, sweetly, she stroked Hestia's hair as she sat on the side on the side of the weeping girl's bed.

"I swear, Emmy. I didn't, I swear I didn't," choked Hestia. She was looking at all of them with pleading, red puffy eyes.

"Don't worry, about it sweetie, we believe you," said Emmeline, as the others nodded in agreement.

"Listen Hes, I swear I would never do this. Even if I was mad at you," said Tonks.

"I know," replied Hestia.

It was then they heard a yell come from downstairs. "HURRY UP, WE HAVE TO GET TO DETENTION!" hollered Sirius loudly.
