chapter 9.
"Sure, sure, whatever," Sirius replied to James. "You wanna start, Kat?"
"Am I looking at the right guy?" Kat asked, dumbfounded. "Is this crazed Sirius who told me that there was someone waiting for me in the fireplace?"
"Crazed? Sirius?" James replied quizically.
"You don't know the NEW Sirius," Kat said, and Lily nodded. Sirius just rolled his eyes.
''Are you gonna start the story anytime soon?'' James asked.
"Yeah. And Sirius is telling the whole thing."
"Wha--but that's not fair--" Sirius stuttered.
''I know it isn't, Sirius,'' Kat said, ''but that's how life is.''
"Good for me," Sirius muttered, then continued in a louder voice. "Well, you guys want to hear the story of my life? Get ready to rumble."
"Shut up, Sirius," Lily and Kat chorused boredly.

"Well, it all began when I was--" ("Just get to the point Sirius," Kat cut in) "--okay, okay, whatever. So, I went down to the common room when I had this brilliant idea. A totally un-like the old Sirius idea.
"So I go into the first year girls' dorm and walk up to the first bed I see. I wake up the girl in there and say that there's someone standing in the fireplace to see them."
"You did not say 'someone,' Sirius, you said 'Thomas Potter, that Hufflepuff,' and you convinced me that he was like related to James and something war wrong," Kat interrupted.
"Whatever. He's not related to James," Sirius pointed out.
"Who cares? It was like cruel!"
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was not!"
"Was too! Shoot!" Sirius slapped his forehead.
"Oldest trick in the book, Black. Get used to it." Kat smirked.
"Go Kat!" Lily put in.
"You're pathetic, Sirius," James said.
"Am not!"
"Okay, okay. We've gone far enough. Finish the story. Kat?" James prompted.
She nodded. "Okay. So I come down behind Sirius, freaking out because I think you're like hurt (I don't think he realized you didn't show up in your dorm last night) and grabbing his hand, of all gross things!"
"Disgusting!" Lily agreed.
"Yeah! So, then Sirius really freaks and he sees someone leave the common room. And being the smart person that he is, he drags me out. We follow a shadow like into the library. Even into the restricted section, where I did not want to go. But we went, and now you know where we like ended up."
"But do you know who did it?" Lily asked.
"Or who you followed?" James added.
"No idea," Kat replied.
"Oh," Lily and James said, James sort of yelling and Lily sort of whispering.
"Yeah. Well, that's about it."
"Tell me, Kat," James said, "exactly when did you aquire such a profound use of slang?"
"Huh?"
"Ever five seconds, you said 'freaked!' or like or something."
"That's how I've always talked. You just never hung around me much, I guess."
"Muggle upbringing?"
"How'd you know?"
"The schools I went to were private. Fancy schmancy, and sparkling clean. The walls and the language."
"Gotcha."
"Well, that's the whole story? No mysterious details or bloody fingers?"
"You've read like way too many murder mysteries Jamsie. Life's not like that, at least in the wizarding world."
"For once, I guess I agree, Kat."
"For once? Whaddya mean for once?"
"I say what I say, I mean what I mean."
"And I'm supposed to get that?"
"Yeah."
"Boys." Kat rolled her eyes and Lily giggled.
