Wham!
"Blaaahhh!" sputtered Sirius Black, as several dozen gallons of very cold and salty water was immediately hurled into his face the instant he landed upon his back into something that pitched and rolled and sank and rose, all at the same time, while at once causing his suddenly-queasy stomach to beg for mercy. Frantically wiping at his soaked face with his left hand, the blinded wizard eventually managed to open his eyes that were burning from the salt water in them, to then gape around himself, as his firm grip upon the wand in his right hand became even tighter in sheer shock.
He was lying down in the front part of a very, very small boat in the middle of a very, very big ocean during a fierce night-time storm that was presently composed of extremely cold rain, strong winds, and enormous, foam-lined waves heaving and crashing in the darkness all around this tiny vessel that felt like it was going to sink any second now, and taking with it to the sea floor a long way below, one increasingly-terrified Sirius Black, whose sole experiences with traveling by water during his entire lifetime had been the boat ride to Hogwarts Castle when he'd been a firstie there, and much later, being transported to Azkaban prison by the Aurors. The English wizard hadn't ever thought that he'd one day actually wish to be back inside that grim penitentiary, but right now, as his stomach lurched, Sirius was really missing his nice, safe, no-chance-whatsoever-of-drowning cell, Dementors and all.
Grabbing hold of the nearest solid object with his left hand before he got tossed into the raging waters surrounding him, Sirius fearfully twisted his head around to peer into the gloom of the stormy night, only then noticing the three people located before him, in front of some kind of little cabin in the center of the boat. Staring at him were two young women kneeling down on the boat deck and holding onto each other in absolute terror, their long hair plastered to their skins by the intense rain, which also rendered nearly transparent their blouses inadequately covering two sets of barely-contained-
"Yaaaa!" impolitely bellowed the big man who'd been threateningly standing over the women, interrupting Sirius' instant, close study of those awesome female chests, as that angry-looking guy dressed up in some kind of fisherman's hat and coat now staggered towards that wizard, dangerously waving in this mariner's gripping hand a very large and sharp metal hook having a needle point, and showing right off that he wasn't going to introduce Sirius to the glories of life at sea. Except possibly as bait.
Bugger that.
"SECTUMSEMPRA!"
A couple of seconds later, after being basically carried along by the two women and despite this still nearly falling overboard several times, Sirius gratefully dropped into a cushioned bench along the side of the boat cabin, and then the drenched man immediately pointed his wand at himself, casting some desperately needed drying and warming charms. Sighing in relief as he felt his shaking body stop trembling as soothing heat sank into his muscles, Sirius was distracted from his momentary enjoyment at the gasp of incredulity coming from the other side of the cabin, where the young, dark-haired woman soaked to the skin and seated on her own bench was gazing in utter disbelief at him, her mouth wide open as she dripped all over the cabin floor.
As both Julie in her seat and an equally-wet Helen standing at the wheel and looking over her shoulder both watched, they saw an embarrassed expression flash over the face of that guy who'd impossibly dropped out of thin air into their boat just when they were about to be killed by Ben Willis, who'd previously had a tendency to really, really hold a grudge over such a little thing like being run over by their car last summer. Not that this mattered any more, since a few seconds ago, that multiple murderer had somehow been disintegrated by this stranger pointing a little stick at him, and he was doing that right now, directly at them both!
As the girls promptly flinched away, they opened their mouths to begin screams of fright that never even got started, as Helen and Julie then instead dazedly looked down at themselves, where their clothes and skin were now completely dry as a bone! Plus, they both experienced a gentle wave of warmth that caressed them from head to toe, putting paid to any further risk of hypothermia. Snapping their heads back up to gawk at the smirking man who'd just performed that mind-boggling feat, neither girl realized that the wizard currently tucking away his wand in his arm holster was at that moment feeling a little disappointed over the fact that his minor bit of magic had just turned those damp, see-through blouses back into their former opaqueness.
Still, manners were manners, the Englishman reminded himself, as he directed a charming smile towards the stunned young woman seated across from him, and he politely held out his hand while murmuring, "Hello, there. I'm Sirius Black, and may I know who you are?"
A little taken aback by that odd introduction, Julie blinked at the large, male hand ready to be shaken, until she collected herself and leaned forward, reaching out with her own hand, while tentatively answering, "Uh, I'm Julie James, and this is- Aaaah!"
A second ago, as she kept watching and listening to her friend and that strange guy over her shoulder while holding steady the boat with her hands on the steering wheel, Helen Shivers had missed seeing the large wave rolling toward the boat's starboard side, until that wall of water collided directly with their vessel, making it shudder and stop short, causing any loose items inside the boat to abruptly shift into new positions, all accompanied by a cacophony of loud crashes and other noises that included inside the boat cabin, when Julie shrieked in fright at being tossed out of her seat directly towards the guy sitting across from her.
Despite being slammed back into the cabin wall, Sirius reacted fast enough to catch the young woman hurtling directly into himself, and he even managed to keep her from smashing right into him, with this latter triumph helped enormously by the soft, yielding part of her body that he'd grabbed and which had completely absorbed the energy of their potential impact-
In their presently frozen positions, of Sirius in his seat and Julie leaning forward to brace her arms against the cabin wall at shoulder level on either side of the man currently grasping her, both of these people were now looking downwards at where Sirius was firmly clutching in his determined grip the overflowing breasts of Julie.
Slowly lifting his eyes to dolefully gaze into what he was sure to be a furious expression over his bad manners, Sirius instead saw at very close range this young woman's triangular face gleefully brighten, as Julie snickered, "I see you've met the girls. Wanna bump into the rest of the gang?"
The last thing Helen witnessed was the slow smile appearing on that Sirius guy's face, followed by Julie's happy giggles, as the other girl grumpily turned back around to the wheel and glared out through the boat windshield at the storm outside. Helen's grouchy mood wasn't alleviated the slightest by the truly depressing fact that it'd be at least an hour until they got back to the shelter of the harbor and then could safely anchor, which was how long it'd take until she could leave the wheel and get the chance to bestow her own reward on the guy back there at present finding out that boats actually did have their good points.
*WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!*
