Chapter 3: Sirius and Ally

(For lack of better name)

Sirius

He combed the beach in search of Harry's letter, and after about a half an hours worth of searching he found the thing wedged between two rocks jutting from the surface of the water, jerking it out of the rocks Sirius turned it over, to his surprise there was a charm on it that repelled the oceans spray, for the ink hadn't dripped. Hermione must of helped write the letter, he thought inwardly. He liked Harry best of the three, of course, but that didn't stop him from acknowledging the fact that Hermione was the most organized, and cleverest when it came to book smarts. Reading the letter he whispered a spell that he had long since used to do without a wand, "Dargdination", he whispered and the paper went blank. Then he stated, "Harry, Buckbeak and I are fine…" he waited and the words appeared on the paper in his own script. He continued talking until the letter was finished, when it was he looked down and read it,

Harry,

Buckbeak and I are fine; I've just finished rounding up some of the "old crowd." Good news… Remus is teaching again!! Also a couple of my other friends are teaching at new positions. I'll see you soon though you most likely won't see me. Also Harry, as soon as term starts DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT SEND ME ANOTHER LETTER AFTER SEPTEMBER 1^st UNTIL I TELL YOU IT'S OKAY TO DO SO ON PAIN OF A HOWLER! AND YES, I AM ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE HOWLERS VOICE SO IT IS NOT MY OWN. (I got a lot of practice with Snape.) If your scar pains you see Dumbledore right away, he'll inform me,

Good Luck on your O.W.L.S,

~Sirius

Sirius finished reading the letter and set it down with a sigh, he had hoped that he would be able to tell Harry that he was teaching with Polyjuice Potion but Dumbledore forbidden it. Sirius also hated the fact that in the letter he sounded way more like a worrying parent then he would like to. Sighing again he headed back to the house in search of Hedwig.

Back at the house he found Remus and Ally sitting around the kitchen table, they held back laughter as he came in. When he was almost through walking across the kitchen Ally could resist the temptation to torture him a bit, "Severus," she called in a mock sincere voice, "Do come and sit awhile. We thought…" she was cut off by Sirius who looked as if he would burst at the word "Severus" and go crazy if someone called him it, "fist thing Ally," he said in a tone that sounded half somber and half embarrassed, "You must realize, Ally," he repeated "that though I'm taking Polyjuice Potion to look like the slimy git, I will act nothing like him. Dumbledore, seeing this, knew that most all of the teachers and a lot of the students would notice this abrupt change in our slimy "friend" and get suspicious of my behavior. He devised away to make it look as if Snape had a twin brother who had gone to Durmstrang. I'm supposed to be that brother." He finished and silence encompassed the room.

After a few minutes of silence, Remus spoke, though it seemed the only purpose of the words were to break the quiet that was settled around them like a blanket, "So," he said listlessly, "what's Snapes' "brothers" name?" This question seemed to cheer Sirius up in a miniscule way, he replied, "Orion. That's probably the only compensation I get for doing this, Dumbledore let me chose the name. Also he said if I did this he'd buy all the school stuff I needed and make Slimy prepare lesson plans. Not that I have to use Slimy's way of teaching, I just get to make him work!" By the end of all this Sirius was grinning jovially, Ally and Remus decided not to break his good mood. Glancing down at a funny looking thing on his wrist (the thing resembled a watch but had comical looking symbols), Remus let out a small yelp, "It's already the 29^th and I don't have my books or anything." He stated in a horrified whisper. Sirius smirked, having no reason to worry, as his lessons along side Ally's were ready, he told Remus this. Remus scowled and Sirius just laughed and managed to choke out something that sounded vaguely like, "paybacks." After that word was spoken Remus scuttled out the door, heading for Diagon Ally.

Ally

Later that day, at about 9:45, Ally had most of her packing done and was now facing her next problem, teaching. Pacing back and forth around the kitchen she was trying multiple opining statements to give her class. After her eighth try (which had Sirius rolling on the ground in gales of laughter,) she finally lost her temper. "Fine!" she shouted "Fine, if I'm so damm funny Sirius why don't you give it a try!" Sirius just looked up from the floor unfazed, he simply grinned, shrugged shoulders, and said, "Who says we have to give a speech?" At that moment all that kept Ally from strangling him was the fact that he was Sirius. And Sirius' job in life, well at least his job in life before Azkaban, was to make people (especially teachers) have the overwhelming sensation to give him a slow and painful death. Sighing she tried to explain to him, "Sirius." She persisted, "All teachers give a speech before teaching a class! It's tradition! It's almost a rule for crimany's sake…" realizing what she had said she quickly shut her mouth. It was to late. Sirius had the gleam in his eye, then he opened his mouth to speak. "Ally." He stated in a tone that suggested he was explaining something excruciatingly simple to a five year old. "Ally," he repeated in the same tone of voice. "My goal in life, my utmost dream, is to break every rule that has ever been set upon Hogwarts. The fact that this is practically a rule is all the more reason I should break it in to millions of pieces." Ally just gave an exasperated sigh and decided she'd try the speech sometime later.

After that scene (and a couple of others) Ally slumped exhaustedly into one of the kitchen chairs, Sirius across from her looking equally as tired. Must be tired. Ally thought coyly. Takes a lot of work to be that annoying, come to think about it, takes a lot of work just to be that stupid. She grinned inwardly. I remember when he and James…Ally was snapped out of her reverie by the sound of Sirius' voice. "We should get to bed now." He murmured. "Lota catching up to do tomorrow." With that he trudged off to the guests room, and Ally, after a few moments hesitation, trudged in the direction of her room. As soon as she hit the bed she was asleep.

Two hours later Ally awoke to a scream coming from the guest bedroom. Hurriedly she grabbed her wand and rushed to the room, flinging open the door she saw Sirius lying awkwardly on the bed, his covers were thrown to the floor and his face was drenched in sweat while his night shirt clung to his chest. "I'm innocent!" he screamed thrashing a little. "It was Peter, he betray Lily and James. I'm innocent! Crouch, you bastard, can't see it was Peter? …I'm innocent." He finished in a whisper. Pity flooded Ally as she stood in the doorway, tears pricked at the corners of her eyes and silently she called up a wet washcloth. Taking it she wiped his sweat soaked brow. Ally stood to leave but Sirius again began to thrash, hurrying over Ally began to whisper reassuring things in his ear in till he had calmed down. Sighing Ally conjured up a chair, vowing to stay through the night. But around 2:13 her eyes began to fell heavy and, try as she might she couldn't get keep them open. She managed to stand and walk a few paces, before falling backwards onto the bed beside Sirius. Already asleep she failed to notice Sirius' arm drape around her waist

Did you like it? This story gets worse and worse all the time. I think I should quit on it. If anyone thinks I shouldn't please say so, also if it is to be continued, should there be more or less S/A romance? Thanks
