I own Nothing.
The next Thursday after class Draco and Blaise showed up promptly on time and Sirius explained that they would be marking essays for him, and that they could go when they were finished. He gave each a small stack and sat behind his desk to work on lesson plans. All of a sudden he heard Draco muttering under himself and looked up only to see both were muttering. They grew slightly louder and he finally made out what they were saying, or singing as the case would have it.
"This is the song that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friend
Some people started singing it
Not knowing what it was
But people kept singing it because
This is the song that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friend
Some people started singing it
Not knowing what it was
But people kept singing it because..." Sirius watched as the two continued to sing the song that never ends, eventually he snapped and stood so quick the chair he was on fell back with a crash.
"That's it, get out and stop singing that!"
"Singing what sir?" Blaise asked in a confused voice.
"The song that never ends!"
"Oh, were we singing it? Some second year sang a couple verses in the common room and it has been stuck in our heads ever since. We didn't even realize we were singing it."
The next night when Sirius was finally free of the two boys he met with Ginny who'd met with the boys earlier. They were sitting on the couch in his rooms when Ginny randomly starting singing the song he'd heard too much of the night before and he shut her up before she could continue in the best way he knew how.
"No singing that song. Ever." Ginny smirked
"Draco and Blaise were signing it huh?"
"It was a dare! Traitor." Sirius pouted
"Well you didn't need to let them get to verse 89, you could've stopped them at five. Your patience is astounding Sirius."
"Well 12 years in a cell with nothing to do does give you some things other than mild madness enhanced by the Black gene pool looking like a ball of yarn." Ginny laughed slightly and kissed her boyfriend again.
In Remus' room he was laughing very hard after Hermione explained what'd happened in Draco and Blaise's detentions the night before. After he finally calmed down he took Hermione in his arms and kissed her. What was supposed to be a sweet kiss turned into a passionate make out session that ended up being interrupted by Snape knocking at the door to give Remus his potion. The look he gave the two of them was amused and unapologetic.
"Curfew is in 15 minutes, I will be starting my rounds here and at Blacks chambers, I suggest you say goodnight Miss. Granger."
"Kill joy." She muttered before giving Remus a quick kiss and leaving, Remus didn't look very happy about her leaving either though. "See you at the game tomorrow professor Snape, Remus. Just so you know it's a dare." She told them before making a run for it.
"A dare at the game tomorrow? I wonder which one is doing it."
"The girls, Draco and Blaise did theirs already." Remus then went on to tell Snape what Hermione had told him. Snape smirked and chuckled before shaking his head and leaving.
The next morning everyone was at the quidditch pitch bright and early, many noticing the absence of one Hermione Granger. The teams flew onto the pitch and the game began. Hermione arrived five minutes later but caused many a student and professor alike to take a second glance. She sat in the stands on the edge of the Slytherin bleachers and had on a green and sliver scarf and accessories. Every time Gryffindor scored she would boo with the rest of the Slytherins and every time Slytherin scored she would cheer the loudest. It threw many on the Gryffindor team off their game and led to the Slytherins winning when Draco caught the snitch.
Snape and the Slytherins were all curious but also very happy that they won the game so treated Hermione like she were one of their own. The Gryffindors were all angry and curious as to what caused their princess to commit treason.
Remus pulled her, Ginny, and Sirius aside after the game so they could explain their dare to Sirius and him in depth. They all had a small laugh about how she caused the other team to win and how Draco and Blaise would be nursing their boyfriend's egos for the next few days.
The last week of November was very slow going and very quiet, lulling many into a false sense of security, but in reality both teams were preparing a list of dares for December. Now that school was picking up they didn't have as much time to brainstorm ideas and settled for making a list to pick from. People began letting their guards down thinking the quidditch game was the big finale but three professors, and six students were building their defenses higher to make themselves less of a target. This however was not going to be enough for either team and only made them laugh.
Hermione and Ginny both spent more time with their secret older boyfriends. The boys spent time with their boyfriends as well only much more publically. All four new couples began debating how on earth they were going to explain to Mrs. Weasley that her son and adopted son were gay and dating Slytherins while her daughter and honorary daughter were dating men old enough to be their fathers. None of them had come up with anything past leave her a note and flee the country before she could find them.
Then there was the Malfoy and Zabini parents that needed to have the fact that their perfect pure-blooded sons were dating blood traitors and half bloods. Hermione's parents wouldn't be accepting either and then there was Remus' parents who were basically in hiding due to being shunned for so long. They lived in a cottage in the woods and worked in the muggle world seeing as no wizard would hire them for years and they were too integrated in their lives to come back after the war. Hermione was very nervous to meet them considering how young she was, even if she was of age. This feeling was also in Remus for he had to meet her parents, who were closer to his age than they should be, and his parents would no doubt mention all of his insecurities in their relationship and he wasn't sure he was ready for that yet. Sirius wasn't nervous though, he'd always loved to bug Mrs. Weasley and he knew she would warm up to the situation eventually, he only hoped she didn't hurt Ginny's feelings in the lead up to that point.
Christmas break would defiantly be an emotional roller coaster for all eight of them and they weren't looking forward to it. Luckily they still had two weeks until then, not that it would feel like that long.
