Chapter Twelve- The Ravenclaw Wrath!

Halloween was approaching, it was the Wednesday before the big Hogsmeade weekend, and as usual, many girls were trying to get Sirius to ask them out.

Leila watched him over breakfast, trying to be subtle about it. It wasn't working, she was holding a piece of toast in the air, halfway up to her open mouth. Sirius muttered something to James as a group of Hufflepuff 6th years walked past hopefully

"Someone has a crush on Mr Black ." someone said quietly in Leila's ear. Leila jumped turned round to see Lily smirking.

"What! No! That's just- you're just being-" Leila broke off at Lily's raised eyebrows and sighed. "Fine, maybe I do. But it's not like he feels the same way! Look." Lily looked where Leila was pointing to see Sirius smiling at a Ravenclaw who blushed and ran off, giggling, Sirius then rolled his eyes and turned to James to talk about something else.

Lily smiled fondly at the annoyed expression on her friends face and said, "Well you never know!" before turning back to her breakfast.

Leila frowned and abandoned her toast, trying to focus on the lesson she had coming up so she could check that her homework was done.

At lunch time, Leila found herself sitting next to Jess, thinking about Sirius again.

"Hey, Leila, can I speak to you for a second?"

Leila whirled around and looked up, thinking it was Sirius. It wasn't. She tried not to look disappointed.

It was a 7th year Ravenclaw guy with dirty blonde hair that had obviously been styled to look messy. He had blue eyes that looked eerily vague but shone with a sort of fake charm.

"Err… sure." Leila replied, twisting fully around to face the guy and wondering how he knew her.

"Hi Jess." Peter had arrived, Jess shushed him and watched Leila and the Ravenclaw carefully. Peter followed her gaze and his eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"I'm Marcus Corner. I sit behind you in Arithmancy." Marcus said.

Of course! Leila felt stupid, but annoyed, she'd never liked Corner much. Lily had said that he cheated on almost every girl he'd ever gone out with. He was also a major pranking target for the Marauders (he didn't know why they hated him so much, but Leila knew it was because they'd overheard him insulting Dumbledore and werewolves). After Sirius and probably James, he was probably the most admired guy in the school.

"Yea… I know." She said, raising an eyebrow in and tucking a strand of black hair behind her ear as if to say 'and your point is?'

"Yea… and well, it's the Halloween Hogsmeade visit this weekend…"

Leila felt annoyance build up in her chest; this was the guy who copied her answers every lesson, had an on going fight with her cousin and his best friend and he had subconsciously insulted Remus.

"Is it? I never noticed." Leila said scornfully, Jess and Peter both pressed their lips together to stop themselves laughing. But Corner seemed to think that Leila's comment was just innocent humour. He chuckled softly. His laugh was weird and strangled, sounding forced.

"Well are you going with anyone?" he asked widening his blue eyes in a way that Leila supposed was supposed to be charming. Leila's electric blue eyes flashed dangerously back at him. She looked quite pointedly at Sirius before turning back to Corner and saying matter of factly, "I was planning on going with someone, yes… just… not you."

Corner looked surprised, he looked over at Sirius. Scowled, and walked away.

"Git." Peter muttered.

"He really thinks I'd go out with someone like him? I think I'd have to agree with you Pete" Leila smiled, turning back to her food.

"Ridiculous!" Jess sighed, "So um… do you fancy Sirius or something?" she asked, in a voice that implied she already knew the answer. Leila blushed and Peter smirked.

"Err, well… I guess you could… so what did you write for transfiguration homework?" she asked. Jess and Peter exchanged amused glances before going along with the new subject.

Leila barely noticed Lily arriving and asking Jess what had just happened. She glanced up the table at Sirius, he was staring determinedly at his food. She frowned slightly. A Ravenclaw girl that Leila knew was called Meggin Stone sat next to him with a flirtatious smile. He grinned back and started to talk to her. Leila gaped at them, he was smiling flirtatiously back. The feeling of smugness at tuning down Corner melted into sadness. Lily was wrong… She did know; Sirius didn't feel the same way.

Marcus Corner scowled and walked back to the Ravenclaw table. He needed a date. A hot date. Leila Potter would have been perfect. Someone new to Hogwarts and didn't know about his reputation among the Gryffindors. Plus, he'd be able to piss off Potter by going out with her.

But no! She had to go and fall for Black! He'd lost count of the amount of girls he'd lost to Black.

Angry, he sat down at the Ravenclaw table. He needed a date!

"Hi Marcus," a sweet voice said from beside him.

"Hi Meggin." Marcus sighed.

"Did you just ask out Leila Potter?" she asked.

"What's it to you! Besides, she likes Black." He said, grabbing for a sandwhich.

"Really? Black. Wow… I don't like that Potter girl. She hexed my cousin- you know, Margaret, in Slytherin, because she said something about Dumbledore. Honestly!" Meggin rolled her eyes. She glanced over at Black, he was running a hand through his hair. "But he is kind of cute in way… Need revenge?" she asked Marcus, he looked at her.

"What? You mean, you'd go out with him?" he asked. Meggin giggled and batted her eyelashes. She took one of his hands and rubbed her thumb along his palm.

"Only if there's something in it for me…"

Marcus grinned, and leaned forwards, not intending to kiss her in case Black was watching.

"That could be arranged," he said smoothly. Meggin smiled.

"I'll be off then!" she said softly.

X-x-X-x-X

Sirius was sitting with Remus who was chatting to Rose. He looked up the table and saw Marcus Corner talking to Leila, obviously chatting her up. He scowled, feeling anger build up inside his chest.

Corner asked her something and she looked over at Sirius before smiling sweetly at Corner and replying. Sirius' jaw dropped, he had been all set to ask Leila out but now she was going out with Corner?

Corner was gone; Lily was now sitting with Leila who was looking at him, frowning. Someone sat down next to him and smiled flirtatiously. He grinned back vaguely. She'd blocked his view of Leila.

"Hi Sirius," Meggin said sweetly.

"Hey Meggin!" he said moodily, his anger disappeared at the sight of the pretty blonde. Meggin had startlingly blonde hair, dark blue, spiralling eyes and a light layer of freckles.

"Are you going to Hogsmeade with anyone?"

"Err, no, I was going to ask someone but… never mind."

"I was going with someone too but he ditched me! Stupid Corner! He's such a git!" Meggin made a face that was halfway between a pout and a frown.

"Well you could come with me if you'd like!" Sirius didn't know why he'd said that, it just slipped out. Practice he supposed.

"Really? You mean it? That would be great!" she said, batting her eyelashes. Sirius smiled.

"Stone! Get back to your own house table!" McGonagall called.

"Oops. I'll see you later Sirius." Meggin said sweetly, she squeezed Sirius' hand before leaving.

X-x-X-x-X

Meggin left the Gryffindor table and gave Marcus the thumbs up. It had been surprisingly easy to win Sirius over.

Her plan was working, she was going out with two of the hottest guys in the school! It was going to be a good few weeks.

A.N- Dun, dun, dun! Meggin and Marcus are very Slytherin like but I couldn't put them there or it would never had worked, and they're too mean to be in Hufflepuff… and not very loyal at all. Think of them as smart, misplaced Slytherins!
