Chapter three. Stress.

Disclaimer: as per usual. Not mine. boohoo.

A/N: dadadadada boredom is taking control of my life, all I seem to do is; read, sleep, work, work, work, work, sleep, read, write. I thought being out of school was suppose to be more interesting. I find out my final score in .... 15 days!!!!!!! -hides- I really want to get into a good university. Ahh well. I should stop blabbering and write this new chappie, even if no one reviews and it really sucks. Btw Professor Anorganotos' name is Greek for unorganised.

Thanks to those people who DID review, I love ya!!

Sirius yawned loudly, making no attempt to silence it. His dark head dropped to his desk and he shuffled uncomfortably in his chair. Professor Anorganotos also shifted uncomfortably in his chair behind the teachers desk, he had not yet learnt how to handle Sirius.

"Please ... please sir, could you please pay attention." he murmured in a heavy Greek accent. James nudged Sirius in the ribs, Sirius lifted his head, one eye open.

"huh?"

A girl sitting at the front on the class turned around to face Sirius, "He told you to stop being so rude and to at last try to seem like your listening, or you could go and see the headmaster." She stared at him with level eyes, he blinked.

"Be quiet Evans." Sirius chimed, "Professor, I merely wanted to catch up on some sleep, so if you don't mind I'll just lie on the floor here, I'm probably too tired to make it to my dorm." He yawned again, closing his eyes and getting off his chair.

Peter laughed, James grinned, Remus copied notes off the board. The girl at the front of the class stood up too, Professor Anorganotos look taken back and smiled at Sirius. He probably didn't know what they were saying.

"Black, stop being such a loser. No one thinks your funny anyway. Give the professor a go or get out. You could at least have the decency to offend some one your own size!"

"Stay out of it Evans, it really doesn't concern you." he bent down on both legs ready to lie on the floor. More unsteady laughter came from the class, The girl stood firm.

"Detention Black, I've had enough. You can help Filch clean up the classrooms that Peeves attacked at lunch. I'll be notifying Professor McGonagall and Filch after this class. I suggest you cut this idiocy and listen or it will be more detention."

Sirius looked up casually from the floor, "Oh! scary ... I'm shaking in my little ... space boots." he pretended to shake, then yawned again "You can notify Filch that I may be late, I think I'll have a sleep in this afternoon." He lay on the floor and pretend to snore. Peter roared with laughter, James chuckled but looked at the girl with rapt enthusiasm, his hand flying to his hair to mess up the back.

The girl took out her wand and aimed it at where Sirius lay, at that moment the bell rang. The Professor got up quickly and hurried out of the room, a look of terror on his slight features. Most of the other students left the room too, growing slightly tired of Black/Evans rivalry. Remus stood up packing his bag with his parchment and quills, he made to step over Sirius' still body, when his leg was grabbed by Sirius.

"Tell Evans to drop my detention Moony ... please."

Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius, "There's no way I can worm you out of that one buddy. McGonagall will have my neck."

Sirius groaned, "Evan's you know I was just joking ... I really don't want to go to detention."

Lily dropped her wand, although her scowl stayed on her face, "It's not funny Sirius. You do this every lesson, I do want to learn something, unlike you, I need to study, I want to get good OWL'S. You really upset the Professor too, just because he is weak, it's not an excuse to attack him. That makes you weak."

She stormed to the door, turning at the doorway "The detention will start at 10, don't be late or you'll find you have detention for the rest of the week."

Sirius stared in disbelief at her departing figure, "Prongs, how in this world can you be attracted to her! She .. she's so mean."

James laughed, "She's not mean, she's just ... strong. And I hate to admit it to you, but that was pretty low, you should give the Professor a break, he's not that bad."

Sirius got up off the floor, "So now your taking her side! I knew it!! what is wrong with you all? What happened to the fucking fun we use to have?? Suddenly it's like; no more maraudering, be serious, it's 5th year. Well BIG WHOOP! I hope you all have fun studying together!" He strode out of the door, his bag slung over his back, the door slammed after him and it shuddered. James shook his head, Peter closed his mouth that had been open since Lily's speech. Remus sighed.

"Come on, lets go to lunch. He'll be fine just let him calm down, I think he's a little bit ... stressed at the mo."

"A little bit!! A little bit!! I think he's on the verge of a mental breakdown!"

Sirius was in a very door slamming mood. He slammed the portrait hole, the fat lady yelling abusively. He slammed the door to his dorm that he shared with James, Remus and Peter. He slammed his trunk lid closed a few times and threw himself onto his four-poster bed. His head was throbbing, his body felt on the verge of collapse and to make things worse, he'd just had a fight with his three best friends, the ones that sticking up for caused the pain that still leaked throughout his body. Charlie would be mad at him too because Lily would report straight to her about how 'rude' he was being. He couldn't even go and practice quidditch because James would be there. He had almost forgot about the detention, he'd finally gone a record week without one and now he had one tonight, prefects seriously had something sticking up their ass. Even Remus had been in a weird mood, since when did HE stick up for Lily.

Since he became a prefect. A voice at the back of his head chimed. How could someone become so different because they were thrown into a position of power. Evans and Moony probably talked about how bad he was being and how many ruled he was breaking. They probably started a 'Black is Bad' club.

He hated the fact that everyone over looked the fact that he had denied his family to fight for what he believed was right. He went against everything that he had been taught, all the rules and lessons that his father and uncle had stuffed into him since he was born. The fact that he stood up and said 'This is not right, I will not yield!'

The only thing that mattered was that he played a few pranks on teachers and Slytherins and the occasional younger years. The fact that he 'got around' and didn't really care about anyone. Bullshit. He cared about Prongs, more than most things in the world, Prongs could make him feel better. He cared about Moony, when he hurt and when he was worried, he tried to comfort. And Wormtail, he was the one who had accepted him and encouraged him to become part of the group. He even cared about Charlie to a degree, girls were trouble. They say one thing and mean another, they expect you to know how they feel and when they want you to stop. But he did like her, more than Chelsea, or Beth or Anna. He even cared about his cousins, they weren't that bad, there might be something in Narcissa that no one else saw.

His head swam with thoughts, flashing too fast to be recognised. He closed his eyes, hoping his head would either explode or stop throbbing.

The door slammed.

"Sorry" came Moony's voice from the doorway. The curtains of his four poster were drawn back and Moony stood there holding a plate of roast beef covered in rich gravy and a flask of pumpkin juice. "got you some dinner, this was all I could carry, so I hope your not too hungry." He sat down on Sirius' bed and handed him the plate.

"Thanks Moony" Sirius replied, his own voice seeming distant. He ate the beef quickly, it was hot and made his head clear somewhat.

Remus nodded his head in reply, "Charlie was really worried about you, she got pissed off too because Jane said that you didn't care about her anyway, that you just wanted to fuck her. Prongs and I almost throttled her, if she wasn't a girl she'd be in the hospital wing, trust me. I don't think Charlie took it to heart but she'll probably want to talk to you about it."

Sirius swore, he hated fighting with Charlie. He hoped for his sake that she wasn't too bothered by Jane, no doubt Jane was just jealous that he wouldn't go with her to the Halloween ball, he'd already asked Charlie.

"I'd better get down to my detention. I'll kill peeves for making my life hell, if he didn't make so much mess, there would be nothing for me to clean up." Sirius yawned.

"have fun!" Lupin chided.

Sirius growled.

A/N : ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -hides- that was NOT me writing, it was some horrible monster who took over my body and wrote really really badly. Honestly. You can choose to ignore this chapter if you wish (this option is STRONGLY advised for the concern of your health).

I didn't do it.
