Twisted Fate Of Strange... chapter 5.
(A/N) Disclaimer: I want Sirius, but unfortunately he isn't mine (rats!) Neither is anyone else previously seen in the Harry Potter series..
A few weeks past, and Sirius realized that Halloween was coming up, along with the social whirl that inevitably came with it. There was a vast supply of parties planned, and a school dance as well. Sirius had experienced dances, but unfortunately was quite uninformed with how muggles went about asking people. Jeremy the non-socialist couldn't help him at all, so he decided to ask one of the girls he knew for their opinion (A/N I know what you're thinking Lex, but no.)
"So you see Petunia, my old school never had dances, and I never really had the chance to learn how to ask a girl to one, and well, I don't know how."
"Sirius! Well, I'll help you! First of all, it's a top priority to have a date. Otherwise, you end up just hanging around and that's no fun. If you're too shy, just get a friend to ask the person for you. I've got it! I'll ask them! Now, who shall it be.... Hmmm, well, who do you like?" Suddenly Petunia leaned in very close to him, and dropped her voice to a whisper. "I think it's that Lexa-girl. That friend of your cousins. I don't like her. She's got a very bad reputation, so I don't think you should choose her."
"What other choices do I have?" Sirius said in a normal voice, making Petunia realize she was whispering and straighten up.
"Well, you don't hang around many girls do you? There's Lexa, your cousins, me.. well that's about it. Lexa is definitely ruled out, your cousins are related to you, and I'm going with Vernon. That leaves nobody..... except for nobody!"
"Wow, thanks Petunia! You really straightened it out for me!" Sirius said, utterly appalled by the amount of stupidity one person could possess. He shook his head sadly, making Petunia think he was upset that he couldn't find anyone, and give him a big hug.
When class was over, Sirius went walking again. Despite being completely familiar with every single hall of Hogwarts, as well as secret passages, he was utterly lost in this muggle school. Maybe it was the constant colour differences of people or something, which would make sense, because it was much easier to concentrate on walls when one was not always being blinded by outrageous oranges and pinks, and limes and all of it. There was an unusual amount of excitement never offered at Hogwarts that this school had. The absolute normality maybe. He found it odd that Voldemort (The evil genius of the year award winner three times in a row) was not the subject on everyone's lips. Nor were there amazing tales of discovered species in the forest, or daring escapes from the giant squid. Instead there was, the dance, homework, fashions, dating and all other things that had seemed mundane and boring at Hogwarts, were now the highlights of anyone and everyone's day.
Rounding a corner and absorbed by thoughts, Sirius found himself falling. He supposed he must have tripped or something, but didn't have time to confirm it before his jaw hit the ground and everything went black.
-------------------------------------------
Lexa was in a hurry. She had kickboxing at 6:00 and for some reason the whole faculty had banded together to give her enough homework for a month. She desperately wished she could get home and on the computer before she had to leave for kickboxing but hurrying through the halls with a huge pile of books wasn't the safest ting to do and besides… CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
Lexa turned around to notice a figure get off the floor and walk away, without even bother to she how she was. She tried to pick up her collection of texts, notebooks and writing utensils before anyone else came around the corner, but unfortunately it was too late, she noticed a foot come around the corner and… CRASH!!!!!! The second time in less than five minutes, and now her head hurt. Great. She was about to just walk off down the hall like the first person had done, but then realized that the figure on the floor hadn't moved. She cautiously looked over at it and her heart skipped a beat. Sirius! Lying prone on the floor! Oh geez, why does it always happen to me she thought furiously, as she knelt over him and poked him hopefully. As much as she wanted to try artificial respiration, she didn't think that would look so good in the hallway, so she continued her poking, wondering if anyone helpful would come along and tell her what to do.
------------------------------------------------
Sirius felt the waves of pain lessen in his head as he slowly came back into consiousness, he registered Jeremy yelling about something but at the moment all he could concentrate on was the feelling of a mouth on his. Wait a minute. Sirius jerked awake to see Lexa, her cheeks slowly reddening, jump up and leave.
'Huh? What was that?' Sirius was very confused. He thought he might've been drunk or something, but these particular waves of pain weren't caused by a hangover, and there was a bump on his head. Did he get in a gang fight?
'That was the girl you like kissing you dumbass, and no you're in the middle of a school hall, no gang fights here buddy.' Jeremy sounded the slightest bit annoyed. Sirius remembered that Jeremy could feel everything he felt as well.
'Hey! it's not fair! She was kissing me! How is it you get everything without workin' on it huh?'
'Well i wouldn't say you were really working there Mr. Im-paralyzed-but-that's-a-good-thing-because-that's-the-only-way-I'll-ever-get-any-action-from-the-ladies.'
'Well that's not a really good name for me first of all it's too long,'
'Right. Let's make it Mr.IPBTAGTBTTOWIEGAAFTL.'
'And second of all,' Said Sirius, completly ignoring Jeremy, 'it's not true, I have had more girlfriends than you know females, and I have a girlfriend right now who... shit.'
'Forgot again? Did James ever even reply? Geez, you'd think your friend would reply to you in at least two weeks time, but no, two months is just fine right?'
'Ok now we're going home and seeing what happened to my owl, she never came back either.'
Back at the house, Sirius checked the basement where no one ever went, and Moonhawk, his crazy barn owl had made into her 'cave'. Moonhawk had some mental problem that made her think she was a bat. As a result she slept upside down in empty, dark rooms and never hooted at all. She wasn't in her lair, or anywhere else in the house. In fact, he hadn't seen her since she set off with his letter. It was strange, how he had not even remembered he owned her since he went to muggle school. Maybe that's what happened when you weren't around magic all the time.
Getting more worried by the second, Sirius hopped onto his broom and set out on a direct course to Hogwarts. As the crow flies. Or the owl. Or the bat. It was getting colder as the night started in but he could see. He actually had his wand because he had hollowed out part of his broom and stuck it in there. Another example of Sirius weirdness, he had practically patented his own style by now.
'Hey, observant boy, your bat/owl likes caves?'
'Yeah, what about it?'
'And she's been gone for two months?'
'Yeah, just about.'
'And she was never fully trained when you got her because you liked that wildness in a pet?'
'Correct, where is this all leading?'
'Well, I've got news for you, observant boy. Moonhawk was pregnant when she left.'
'WHAT!!!!'
'And right now we're passing a series of cliffy areas sure to have lots of lovely crags perfect for raising little bat/owls on.'
'Why do you never, ever, ever tell me anthing important?'
'Because I love you and I'm worried about you.' Said Jeremy in a sickeningly sweet tone.
'Damn you mother.' Replied in an equally sweet tone, earning a laugh from Jeremy.
---------------------------------------------
Now to cut a huuuuuuuuge long and boring part out, Sirius dives down amoung the cliffy bits Jeremy pointed out, searching heroically for his owl-bat. Apparently Moonhawk had decided to nest in the cliffs until her kids were grown up or something. Sirius kidnapped a baby owl, and left Moonhawk there to raise the other ones. He discovered his letter in amoung the twigs of the nest and decided to fly the rest of the way to Hogwarts to deliver it as well as visit his friends. It was Friday and he figured if he flew through the night he could make a spectacular entrance with the post on Saturday morning. We pick up with breakfast starting at Hogwarts, Lily and James walking together with Remus down to breakfast.
------------------------------------------------
"Hey Lil, why'd you tell Peter off? He is just loyal to Sirius. I mean, if Sirius still liked you he would have writtin to you right?" James asked his girlfriend, Lily Evans, as they walked to breakfast.
"Yeah James, but I still feel guilty about going out with someone when me and Sirius have not techinically broken up yet."
"Not a problem, I'll write to him today and let him know, he'll take it fine I promise" Said James, kissing her head as they sat down at the Gryfindor table.
"But what if he... Oh nevermind, here comes the post." Lily, James and Remus looked up and were amazed at what they saw. Amoung the fluttering wings and millions of feathers, was the dark figure of Sirius Black, looking tired but happy with his entrance, as he swooped down to the floor.
