Sirius Black chapter one

A/N: Hay all, my first fic that isn't slash! *cheers*. This is MWPP with a little bit o' Lily. It's got romance and comedy,
angst, and Sirius Black! (note the tittle) Some Lily/Sirius flirting, some all out nasty slytherins, werewolves, and a big
mean dark lord! r/r please. If I don't get at least six reviews I won't post the next part, I won't! *tries to look
threatening*

Disclaimer: I own...oh hell... wait, the plot! Yes PLOT! I have a plot. And it's semi-original too! *looks smug* J.K Rowling,
goddess that she is, owns Harry Potter and all characters associated with it. On with the fic, and don't flame.




Sirius Black sat on the hard ground of the stone cave he called home, shivering with cold. He was there because of a promise,
a promise made all those years ago, fifteen of so, Sirius wasn't sure, time just sort of blended together now a days.

His eyes, once so full of laughter and life, that had twinkled with amusement, looked dully at his surroundings. He snorted
with disgust, the place was filthy. Ferret bones lay scattered about in every direction, his few possessions lay around.

A wizard picture of James and Lily, holding six month old Harry Potter. Sirius felt a stab of anger at the smiling faces if
his friends. James. James, who swore never to leave him, said they'd always be best friends, no matter what. But were was he
now? James had left him, died, broken the unbreakable.

The Marauders...

1975 (The Marauder's 5th year)

"Bloody fuck!" Sirius Black shouted, as Sevaras Snape threw a crocodile heart straight at him during double potions.
He ducked and the slimy organ hit an unsuspecting Peter Pettigrew square in the face.

Sirius burst out laughing.

It was to much, Peter standing, quite still, looking disgusted. James joined in, though not as loudly as Sirius. He was a bit
more sympathetic as he handed Peter a towel. "You okay Pete?" Remus Lupin asked, stifling a snicker, his tired, strange
green/gold eyes dancing with amusement.


"Sirius that hurt!" Peter whined. "I didn't throw the damn thing, that piece of sh-" "Mr. Black!" interrupted the new
potions professor, professor Patters, sharply. Sirius gave her a charming innocent smile. "Yes Professor?" he asked
innocently, smiling winningly. "Argh!" Professor Patters said in annoyance.

It was a week into the fifth year, her first teaching job, and Sirius Black was most likely going to drive her insane. "I give
it two weeks until I start talking to myself." She muttered. "You just did Professor." Sirius said helpfully. Amie Patters
glared at him.


James Potter chuckled softly as he watched his best friend try and charm his way out of another detention. "What did he do
this time?" asked Lily Evens, Sirius's other best friend. She was a young, rather pretty witch, with flaming red hair that
hung in loops and curls, and laughing emerald eyes.


James was quite in love with her.


"Who knows." James said, shrugging and not meeting her eyes. Lily sighed and turned back to cutting her shrivel figs. Sirius
returned to the table, pouting. James knew the pout was mainly for show, Sirius didn't mind detention that much. He was
after all, the legendary Sirius Black. The crazy, cool, cute prankster that the first years hero worshipped, the girls
giggled over and the boy that actually got Filth, the new care taker, to chase him with a pitch fork (which Sirius lost, judging
from the tiny scars on his back side), that the teachers all puzzled over, he was brilliant, if only he'd apply himself.


He was Sirius Black, and with his friends, he ruled the school.

Present


Sirius snorted in disgust. "We were so stupid, didn't think the good times would ever end, we'd never fall from grace, we
were above the rules."


"Damn did we fall. Hell I'm still falling." Sirius said to Buckbeak. Buckbeak just stared blankly at him. Sirius sighed and
transformed into a dog to search for food in Hogsmead.


His mind was occupied on were he was going to land.

1975


Sirius strolled casually toward the potions dungeon, whistling nonchalantly. He was a minute early for detention. He gazed at
his watch. Five seconds,..four...three...two..."Hullo Amie." Sirius said, plopping down causally, perfectly on time.


"Sirius." Prof. Patters said calmly. "Yup Amie?" Sirius said, trying not to smile at touching the young professor. "Don't
call me Amie." she said. "I can call you something else." Sirius said with a seductive smile. The twenty year old professor
glared at him. "Amie's fine." She said, defeated. "Fantastic Amie, so what's my punishment?" Sirius asked good naturally.


"To sit. In complete silence, no talking, no moving no nothing. Think you can do it?" she challenged. "Not a problem." Sirius
said with more confidence than he felt. He hated, HATED, to sit still. He was young, full of energy, he thought it was down
right bicthy of Prof. Patters to do this to him.

He looked up, frowning at his potions teacher and saw her smiling at him. There was a hint of challenge in her pretty smile.
Fine she wants to play, let's play. Sirius thought, annoyed.


So he gazed at her, an unwavering, unblinking stare. Amie Patters shifted uncomfetabuly but did not look up.

Sirius spent twenty minuets doing this. His eyes were beginning to water and sting and he wanted to jump or run or bloody
move but he didn't. He had won this little power struggle with every teacher except MoGonall, scary old bat, and he was wasn't
about to loose this one.


"You may go Sirius." Amie Patters's voice was irritated. "Okay." Sirius said cheerfully. Sirius ran out, elated that he had won
once again. ((sometimes it's just the little things that do it for us, now isn't it?)) He rushed to the Griffendor common
room and gave the password.


The fat lady swung open, admitting him. He flopped down triumphantly next to James. James raised an eyebrow. "Your back early."
he questioned. "She let me go." Sirius said, grinning like a madman. "Nice of her." James said, grinning the same grin as
Sirius. "Yeah, gives us some free time." Remus Lupin asked, eyes alight. "For what?" asked Peter blankly. "Pete, think."
James prompted. Sirius snorted. Peter Petigrew, think. Yeah right. By the way the rest of the Marauders were grinning, they
were on the same line as Sirius.


"Hey guys." Lily Evens said, walking up to them. James's ears turned red. "Hay Lil' how's it going?" Sirius asked, tugging
affectionately on one of her shining curls. Sirius and Lily had been best friends since first year. "Fine luv, hay did you
skive off detention?" Lily said, frowning disapprovingly at him. "Me? Lil's would I do that?" Sirius said innocently.


"Yes." coursed all his friends.


Sirius gave them a wounded look. "Naw, Amie let me go." Sirius said. Lily arched a perfect eyebrow. "First off, what did you do
to the poor thing so she let you go early, and second off, Amie?" Lily said, wearing a holier-than-thou expression that she
only used on Sirius. "I used the old Sirius Black charm on her." he said smugly. Lily snorted. "The only time when your
charming is when you don't talk." she said, her smile belittling her words.


Sirius gave her his trademark devil may care grin. "You like it when I don't talk, don't you Lil' you like it when I do other
things which my t-"


SMACK

"Ouch."


Sirius should have learned his lesson not to tease a fiery red head like Lily Evens, but of course, he hadn't. Lily huffed
and sat next to James. "God Lil' that time of the month much!" Sirius said, rubbing his cheek indignantly. Remus and James
had to hold her back.


Lily, unable to physically go after her friend, let out a string of curse words that made Jay Simmons, the resident bad ass, go
pink and stare in disbelief as the tiny, docile pretty red head screamed at Sirius.


Five minuets later, they were friends again.


James shook his head in disbelief at the two. Remus looked wrongly at the window. It was twenty minuets until dusk. "I
better go guys." he muttered quietly, hastily walking out. It was the night of the full moon and Remus needed plenty of time
to get secure in the shrieking shack. "See you." James said, grinning. "Definitely." Sirius said. Tonight was the night they
tried the Animungus Potion for the first time.


They were very nervous, but they were sure they'd end up alright. They always did. Lily looked around, confused. She knew
about Remus, he had confided in her, but she didn't know what the boys were talking about. With the way her Sirius was
smiling it ment it was agents the rules, mind numbingly dangerous, and probably going to make Dumbledore get another white
hair.


She wanted in.


"Siri- wacha gonna do?" She asked, fluttering her eyelashes at her friend. "Something in your eye Lil's?" he asked innocently


Lily kicked him.


"Damnit Sirius! What's going on? Tell me!" she demanded. Sirius smiled indulgently at her, and slid his arm around Lily's
shoulder. Lily had to stifle a smile. Sirius may be a prat sometimes, but he was absolutely gorgeous. "Lil's-" he said, his
mouth dangerously close to her ear. "-I'd love to tell you I really would, but Jamie here won't let me." he said, putting the
blame on his other best friend.


James mouthed wordlessly at him.


Sirius was off scott free, James would never get up the courage to talk to Lily. Lily pouted. "James, tell me." she demanded.
James made a slight gurgling noise. Sirius rolled his eyes. Lily glared and stormed off.


"Smooth move Romeo." Sirius teased. "You totally put me on the spot! I blame you for this." James defended. "Yeah okay, it's
my fault that you can't talk to Lily." Sirius said sarcastically. "Any way, it doesn't matter, she likes you anyway." James
muttered.


"Huh? No she doesn't, were friends that's all." Sirius said, looking unconcerned. "Your blind man." James said, looking
jealous. "Whatever." Sirius said, looking bored. James got up. "I'm going to check on the potion." he said, walking off.
"Right." Sirius said vaguely.


Was James messing with him? And if not, did Lily really like him, and did he... mabey... did he, like her?
