'Detention with Mcgonnagal' Alice thought to herself as she made her way there 'this should be interesting. Hopefully none of those damn marauders are there.'
As Alice walked into the classroom, she greeted the head of Gryffindor before she was assigned her task. She got to work right away but couldnt keep her annoyance in once she saw Sirius walk in the room. "Really, Black? You had to?" she asks.
"Hey, I'm not happy about this either. I'm surprised the Silver Slytherin has gotten herself into trouble." Black replies.
"Silver Slytherin. Really?"
"Don't blame me, my brother calls you that."
"Dammit Regulus.." Alice muttered under her breath before returning to work. It passed by slowly. Alice thought she was going to go stir crazy when she did her homework in silence but now it may come sooner in detention. Right when she managed to get a song into her head, Black interrupted her thinking. "Sage!" he hissed at her. She looked up at him, eyebrow raised and an expression that clearly said 'what do you want?'
"Can you do me a favor?" he asked. Alice looked at him like he was the crazy person in the room. "And that would be...?" she asks, trailing off on purpose.
"Set me up with Kiara."
Alice laughed. "You're on your own there. I'm not setting you up with one of my best friends."
"And why not?"
"Well in case you haven't noticed, I don't like you."
"And yet you like my brother-"
"Your brother doesn't piss me off." Alice said, cutting him off.
Sirius shook his head, letting the conversation drop for the time being. Once they were done however, he followed Alice down to the dungeons, constantly begging her. "Dammit, Black! No! I don't set people up unless they ask me to. Now, however, I will give you some advice." she told him, barely holding onto her last nerve. Sirius looked at her, listening carefully.
What he did not expect though was for her hand to slap him upside the head. "Grow a pair of balls, find her, and ask her out yourself." Alice told him. Sirius gave her his usual, 'You're crazy look'
"Alright look. Just try and be nice, don't be a playboy. Got it?"
Sirius nodded, unsure if this would work. Ah, who was he kidding. He was Sirius Black, he could do what he wanted! Including asking out a girl. "Thanks Alice." he told her.
"Welcome. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go slap your brother." Alice told him before walking to the Slytherin common room.
Once she got in there, she looked around. Alice could see Lucius, Goyle, Crabbe, and both LeStrange brothers talking in one corner, Bellatrix and Narcissa disscusing something by the fire, and finally she saw Severus and Regulus playing chess on one side of the fireplace. She walked over to the boys, both of them unaware of her approach. Then suddenly- SMACK!- Regulus had been slapped upside the head.
"Ow! What was that for Alice?!" Regulus asks.
"Really? Silver Slytherin. What the hell?" Alice responds.
"H-how did you find out about that?"
"Your brother. I had detention with him tonight."
"That's where you've been?" Severus asks.
"Yeah. Punched him in the face a few days ago in front of McGonnagal."
"Alice Sage!"
"Oh bite me, Severus. I didn't know she was going to turn the corner right there."
Severus said nothing, but merely shook his head. Alice could be so violent at times. "Regulus. It's your move." Severus said. Alice shrugged and sat in a chair near Severus and pulled out a notebook. It wasn't long until she managed to get lost in writing one of her stories. It was when she felt Severus pick her up and set her in his lap that she snapped out of it.
Alice smiled at him, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. She then switched between writing and watching those two play. She even played against Regulus herself a few times. They just went on like that for a while that night. Not bothered by anything.

The next day, Alice spent the morning with Lily and Kiara. She was there when Sirius came up to Kiara and asked if they could talk alone. Lily and Alice watched as she reluctantly went with him. They couldn't hear what was being said but Alice had an idea of what was going on. Then, suddenly, they saw Kiara's face gored with a blush. 'He did it' Alice thought to herself.
When Kiara came back, she looked like one of the happiest people on earth. "So let me guess. He grew a pair and asked you out." Alice said when she returned.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" Kiara questions.
"He tried to get me to set you two up last night. But I didn't. I just told him to man up and do it."
"Ah. Hey, do you think you and Severus would like to come on a group date with us?"
Alice looked at Kiara like she had just grown a second head. "Have you lost your mind? Severus and Sirius near each other is a bad thing. Get them on a group date and some one will be in the hospital wing before you can say 'makeout session'. Not a good idea"
"Yeah good point. Hey Lily, maybe you and someone else can come" Kiara suggests. They then spent the rest of the morning, sitting around, talking and just relaxing.
