Twisted Fate Of Strange... chapter 4.
(A/N) Disclaimer: Blah blah, not mine... cept the peopleI made up... blah blah blah...(Oh and AMC and slackers aren't mine either, and same goes for Who's line.)
After a very tiring day at school, meeting new people, new teachers, learning things he had never even heard of before, Sirius dragged himself home, only to find the he had homework, and Angora's posse had taken over the living room, along with their assortment of boyfriends, in which, Sirius noticed, Scott was included. After denying many requests to stay and talk, or go out and get food or just sit and study, Sirius went up to his room to collapse on his bed.
'And how was your first day at schol dearie?' Said Jeremy, still bright and energetic as usual.
*Groan* 'What do you think? Even with you explaining everything to me every step of the way, I'm so full of facts and figures I'm going to explode!'
'Math figures? Or some other kind of figures? Eh Sirius?' Jeremy was like an older brother with his teasing sometimes.
'Oh ha ha. I just want to sleep! But no, Let's go out for Pepsi's Sirius, let's go meet Jessica, Sirius, let's do this Sirius, let's do that, Sirius! Don't they ever stop? It's like muggle life revolves around a huge social wheel or something!' Sirius sighed and flopped over onto his back, looking up at the ceiling and his pictures of his girlfriends.
'Actually it does, but I never really paid much attention to that, I was too busy getting good grades... In fact I probably would have had a great life if I hadn't got stuck in here!' Jeremy sounded kind of pissed, so Sirius concentrated on his pictures. They were all there, his entire history of girlfriends. Ranging from his first, Kayla, in grade two of muggle school, so his latest, Lily at Hogwarts.
'Lily! I almost forgot! I have to write that letter to James now!' Sirius jumped off his bed, suddenly finding new energy, and running over to his desk where he began penning his letter to James Potter, his best friend.
DEAR JAMES,
I AM AT MUGGLE SCHOOL NOW, AND IT'S NOT THAT BAD. THE GIRLS DON'T
HAVE TO WEAR ROBES AND IT'S NOT BAD ON THE EYES. I'M DOING WELL IN SCHOOL
THANKS TO JEREMY, WHO IS LAUGHING AT ME RIGHT NOW. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS
TO ASK YOU. FIRST OF ALL, HOW IS EVERYONE THERE? DO THEY MISS ME? ARE
THINGS QUIETER? (HAHA) AND SECONDLY, HOW IS LILY? DOES SHE THINK WE BROKE
UP, OR ARE WE STILL GOING OUT? I REALLY NEED TO BE UPDATED SO I KNOW WHERE
MY BOUNDRIES ARE. HEHEHE. AND LASTLY, HOW ARE YOU, MY BEST FRIEND? ARE YOU
HAPPY? ARE YOU STILL GOING OUT WITH MICHELLE? AND PLEASE UPDATE ME ON ANY
NEWS YOU THINK I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I MISS ALL OF YOU!
SIRIUS.
'Well, that was a bit serious for you Sirius.' Said Jeremy, always the funny one *Cough cough*.
'Shut up muggle-boy! I actually am serious with James, because I don't feel like I need to keep up my joking personality with him. No one likes to be laughed at all of the time.'
'That's the same thing you do with Pandora. Hm?'
'Yeah, they're kind of like cracks in the shield. Ya know?'
'Well, no i don't but technically I am one too, because I now know your serious side. Feel free to talk to me any time you please. As you said before, I'm like a guidence counselour.'
'Heh. Either that or my father.' Said Sirius, calling over Moonhawk, his owl. He attached the letter to her leg, and flung her out the window, his smile sinking a little at the familiar memory of Hogwarts. He wished he was there now, this was so strange and different, it was really hard to adjust.
'Now it's homework time! I'm not feeling quite so tired, and apparently I have something on Alkali poisoning due tomorrow, so let's get cracking! You can do the thinking and I'll do the writing!'
'I do the mental, and you do the physical? Is that because I don't have a body, and you don't have a brain perchance?'
'Yeah!.. Hey! Wait a minute...' Sirius started thinking for a second, completly confused as to whether he had been insulted or not, and wondering why Jeremy seemed to be laughing himself to death.
--------------------------------
After his homework was done, Sirius went over to Pandora's room, only mildly surprised to find Lexa there with her. They were just sitting around, reading magazines, so he asked them what people did for fun around here. They turned up with a whole list of things he could do, including: See a movie, go get pizza, go shop for whatever, go buy candy, hang around the skateboard park, do homework. Considering Sirius didn't have any money for shopping, wasn't hungry, tried to avoid sugar as much as possible because he was crazy enough already, had finished his homework and had no idea what a skateboard was, Lexa and Pandora decided to g show him what a movie was like. They arrived at AMC theatres at a bit past 5:00. It had taken them awhile because they couldn't get a drive from any parents, and the parents didn't trust Pandora with a car. Angora eventually gave up and drove them. They decided on 'Slackers', even though Lexa didn't really want to see it. Sirius was overwhelmed by movies. He immidiatly resolved that, even when he was back at Hogwarts, he would go and see a movie every single weekend. After the movie, they decided to walk home, for no real reason, and also because no one had a quarter for the phone. It was only about three miles, and Sirius was having a great time running around and doing his best to embarass the two girls. Every once in a while, a car would come along with a bunch of guys in it and offer them a ride, the girls would decline, even thought Sirius was moaning that his feet hurt like hell. Eventually, all three of them shut up from lack of things to say, and tiredness.
'You seemed to enjoy that, hmm Sirius?' Jeremy was back, and slightly shocked with the contents of the movie (A/N by the way, Slackers is hilarious, but mildly inappropriate).
'It was awesome! I love movies! I'm going to die at Hogwarts without access to them!'
'I have an idea, why don't you ask Pandora to explain VCRs to you?' Jeremy said, obviously used to Sirius's uselessness now.
'How will that help? I don't understand.'
'What I don't understand is how you could live in a muggle world for 11 years, and go back to it eery summer and christmas, and still not know what a video is.'
'Well, first of all, I did my best to forget abou the first 11 years of my life, because they sucked in comparison with Hogwarts, secondly I fell out of a tree and had partial amnesia when I was 12 years old, and third, I spend at least two thirds of my breaks at James's house, all of my christmas breaks at Hogwarts, and one quarter of my breaks at Remus's house. Which leaves... well only i bit of time that I actually spend in the muggle world. So there!' Sirius actually stuck his tongue out to prove his point, earning himself odd looks from Pandora and Lexa.
'And now you're being an immature idiot. Do you think Lexa knows you're magical?'
'I don't think so. But I suspect she's keeping secrets from me too. Do you remember when I ripped over her in the alley and she had those weird things in her hand? Do you know what those are?' Sirius looked back at Lexa, she didn't seem very secretive to him...
'Hm? I don't think I was paying attention then. Wht did they look like?'
Sirius went on to describe the objects, and between them, they deduced that Lexa was doind drugs. It took awile for Jeremy to explain this concept to Sirius. When everything was worked out however, Sirius went into delayed shock........
'OH NO! I HAVE TO SAVE HER! SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON! I HAVE TO HELP HER JEREMY! HAVE TO!!!'
'Calm down boy. You can give her some advice, but as I described, they're addictive, you can't just make her stop just like that!' Jeremy made a mental sound like the snapping of fingers.
'I bet I could! I bet she thinks I'm the hottest thing since... burning...stuff.... yeah...'
'Great job Sirius.' Jeremy was bored again.
'It's true! I swear! I'll ask her! just watch me!' Sirius remarked, walking up to Lexa and leaning an arm on her shoulder.
"Hey Lexa! Do you think I'm the hottest thing since burning stuff?"
"Sure Sirius, whatever you say..?" Lexa looked kind of intimidated.
'See! Oh! Who wins!' Sirius looked oddly delighted, and pranced off again, ahead of them up the road.
Lexa turned to Pandora, "Is your cousin always this weird?"
"Heck, hardly know him, but it looks like you're going to!" Said Pandora with a wink.
----------------------------------
When they got home, it was about 9:00. They figured that they would have about two hours before any parents were home (all the parents were out doing random errands), so they hung around the kitchen, drinking pepsi, and watching Who's line is it anyway. When Lexa left to get another drink, and call her mom to see if she could sleep over, Sirius asked Pandora if she knew Lexa was doing drugs.
"Yes. I've known it for a while, and everyone who does know has tried to make her stop, and even she doesn't want to continue, but it's really hard for her to go without them, and... Hey! how'd you know?" Pandora said, taking a drink.
"Well, I sort of caught her in the act.." Sirius went on to explain about the alley, earlier on that day.
"How could she! She promised not to on school grounds! what if she gets caught! She could be severly punished!" Pandora looked very upset, and Sirius finally realized the situstion Lexa was in.
"Hey Pandora, I'll talk to her, ok? I don't know, but she might listen to me." Sirius realized how stupid he sounded, telling Pandora that Lexa would listen to him, even though she wouldn't listen to her best friend.
"Oh yeah? And why would she do that? She hasn't listened to anyone, not her family or friends, and now you show up, you havn't even known her for a month and you expect her to listen to you? You're pretty full of yourself Sirius, and you should get over it! Just because you have these crazy supernatural powers doesn't mean that you can do everything! Magic doesn't solve the world's problems Sirius, and so you'd better get used to it!" Pandora yelled at him and ran out of the kitchen, he heard pounding of feet on stairs and then a door slam. 'Shit'. Just then there was another noise, the creak of floorboards behind him. He whirled around. Lexa was standing in the doorway, her drink held loosely in her hand, as if it was about to be dropped, a shocked look on her face.
"Lexa? Oh no! How much did you hear?" Sirius wished with all his heart that he could live the last fifteen minutes over again, but nothing happened.
"I heard plenty." Replied Lexa, coming out of her trauma just in time to grip onto her pop can. "What was that? Sirius, what is going on?"
"What do you mean? Nothing is going on.... Nothing..." 'Damn, nice coverup story there.'
'Very good job, now are you going to tell her you're magical or not?'
'Heck no! No one can know these things remember?'
'Wizard, Sirius? I think the muggle world is getting to you. You really didn't learn anything at that school did you?'
'What the hell are you talking about? I leared a whole billion and twelve things, from hair dying to memory charms to.. memory charms!'
'You already said that.'
'No no no! Don't you get it? If she freaks or something I'll just put a memory charm on her and bingo! No more problem!'
'Oh! Now it's time for Jeremy's lecture about how magic doesn't solve all problems!'
'I think we can do without it for now.'
'I'm so telling her! I've got it all worked out! It'll be perfect!'
'And if you're memory charm is a complete failure and she decides to burn you at the stake?'
'Hey, she's thinks I'm hot as burning stuff already, so no problem there!' Sirius grinned his happy grin and turned to Lexa, still standing in the doorway, watching with confusion as the different emotions flashed across his face.
"Lexa I think I have a confession to make. You see, you know I've been going to boarding school, but I don't think anyone has told you which one. You see, the school I go to is not for Math and science, it's for witchcraft and wizardry."
"Say what?" Lexa looked surprised, puzzled and happy at the same time. Sirius vaguely wondered if he could do that.
"I'm a wizard. Oh and check it out!" Sirius immediatly turned himself into a big black dog and back again.
"Oh. My. God! That is the best thing I have every seen in my entire life! Just think, the whole time I knew you, you could have just, turned invisible or been flying or something, instead of hanging out with us, and you can probably eavesdrop on peoples conversation and... hey wait a second.. you haven't been.."
"Nah, not to you anyway." Sirius shook his head and looked up at Lexa to see her launching through the air, giving him a huge hug.
"Wow! It's just.. Wow! Happy happy happy!!!!!!!!!" Lexa proceeded to do a strange little dance around the kitchen table, as Sirius watched, almost afraid.
"Um, Lexa, what the hell are you doing?" Pandora wasa back, and looking at her friend with interest and amusment, along with disbelief, Sirius wondering once again if he would be able to pull that face contortion off.
"Lalalala!!!!!" Lexa had had way too much pepsi, so Sirius and Pandora pulled her into the living room, onto the couch, and they both promptly sat on her.
"Well," Said Sirius, "I think this solves alot of problems."
'No shit sherlock.' Put in Jeremy with a laugh.
