His Music, Her Moves
Chapter 2: Secrets Reveled
---
The week went by very fast, and before everyone knew it was Thursday. They day of tryouts and their first dance class, ever in the history of Hogwarts. And after hearing from Sirius, that the Dance teacher was a human slave driver, most people were dreading it. All the Griffindors finished their breakfast and sulked to their dance class.
"Now, this is not a 'come, sit on you arse, and pass.' Kind of class." Niki, or otherwise known as Sergeant Malfoy, said walking up and down, the rows, slapping her wand on her hand, like a whip. "You will do work and be graded for it." They were all situated in a room on the 4th floor, which was called The Room of Requirement. Which had changed into a dance studio.
"First we will be learning how to do splits, for those who are not familiar with this, then know it is a muggle technique." She stopped in front of Sirius' desk, as soon as she heard him mumble, "Then how do you know it." "Oh it seems I just found a volunteer. Please come up Mister Black." She asked with sarcastic sweetness. "I don't feel like it." Sirius contradicted staying rooted in his seat. Niki sighed dramatically and said, "That's too bad, seeing the whole Griffindor team has to be at tryouts." She stared walking to the front of the room. "What do you mean?" Sirius questioned suspiciously. "Oh yea, I forgot to tell you. You cannot go to tryouts because; you have detention with me tonight. Oh, and stay after class." She smirked at him.

Before dinner, James went to the Quidditch field to see if everything was in order for the tryouts, when he saw some thing surprising. There was Niki flying on her new broom, The Nimbus, like a pro. And he could see that she was a Chaser, by the, red colored, quffle under her arm. Then saw her throw it into the to hoop with ease.
James figured Niki must of spotted him because she started descending her broom and walking toward him. She shoved the ball at him and walked away to the Dormitories to put her broom in its proper place. James shook off his shock quickly, and started following Niki to her destination. Niki who had noticed him behind her, turned around and said, "What do you want Potter?" "I know we started off on the wrong foot and I was wonder-." But she interrupted him. "Point. Potter." She demanded. "Will you be the new Chaser for the Quidditch Team? Please." He said, giving her his famous puppy dog eyes, which no woman was able to resist. Except one. "Hmm, let me think." Niki said in mock thought. "No." she said firmly as she walked to the Great Hall, after stopping at the Dormitories.
Everyone, especially Lily, was surprised to see Niki coming into the Great Hall, with a begging James behind her. "Please." James asked again. "No. No. No!" She yelled, gaining the attention of the whole Great Hall. Then James did the unthinkable, he got on his knees in front of her, took her hands in his, and begged, "Please I need you. I don't have a chance without you." He then looked up into Niki's, widened, eyes hopefully. "Fine. Only if you stop bugging me." She finally gave in. "Yes!" He yelled, as he ran up to Dumbledore like a madman. He told Dumbledore something and went back to his normal seat.
"As heard from James Potter, and I quote, 'There is no need for tryouts because I have found a perfect, smart, fast, and beautiful new Chaser. By the name of Niki Malfoy." Dumbledore announced. Niki suddenly became interested with her food as everyone started talking, no gossiping, about her. She could not wait for dinner to finish. But then she remembered she had to issue Sirius' detention, and make sure he stayed there. 'This is the worse day ever.'
~*~
Niki caught Sirius' trying to avoid her punishment, in the Head Common Room. "Going somewhere?" Niki asked sitting on a couch, filing her long, blood red, fingernails. "You wouldn't be trying to skip my dentition now would you." Niki said sweetly. "Nope. Just looking for you." Sirius answered, Swallow a lump that had formed in his throat. "Good. Now sit down." She ordered, pointing to a desk in the corner. "Why? Aren't I gong to scrub toilets, or some shit like that?" Sirius asked confused. She just smiled wickedly at him and said. "No, I figured you're used to that by now. So, you will write, until I say stop, 'I Will Respect My Teachers.' And just incase I put a spell on the quill. So, you can't stop writing until my voice says stop."
About 2 hours later, Sirius was being tired and turned to Niki, to ask her if he could stop. But, he was surprised, not to mention frightened, to see her sleeping on the couch. 'I don not want to be waiting all night. Hold on, I have an idea.' Sirius thought as he held out his free hand, and said, "Adico Niki Malfoy." She still was locked into her deep slumber, as she flew up from the couch and into Sirius's arms, or arm. He started tickling her mercilessly, and watched as she wiggled to get out of his tight grasp. "Stop, Stop." she yelled, in her sleep breaking the spell, which she had placed on the quill Sirius had been using to write with. He shook out his hand and saw Niki lying on the floor, who had fallen back asleep like nothing happened. 'Yea, sure I don't like her. But I'm not that cruel to make her sleep on the floor.' Sirius thought, as he picked Niki up and put her back on the couch. 'I said I wouldn't make her sleep on the floor, I never said anything about the couch.' Which was Sirius' last thought before he headed off to his own room for bed.
~*~
The next morning Niki woke up felling very uncomfortable. She groaned as she realized she had been sleeping on the couch. Niki looked upon the clock and saw that it was 6:00. She yawned as she, reluctantly, got ready for Quidditch practice. She laughed at the memory of when James had set the time for practice.
*Flashback*
"O.K. Team be up by 4:00 for practice." James said cheerfully. All the other team members, who were used to James' early practices, just muttered under their breaths. But Niki was a different story. She waked up to James, and was about to open her mouth to say something. But James interjected, "It's the rules everyone has to follow them." But he wasn't so strict when he saw Niki glaring at him with her icy cold gray eyes. And for the first time in James Potter's life, he was afraid of a girl, who wasn't Lily. "O.K. 6:30." He sighed as the rest of the Team cheered. A handsome boy named Alexander Wood came up to Niki and said, "You are my new hero." And for the first time ever at Hogwarts, she smiled, not smirked, smiled.
*End Flashback*
Niki was putting her waist length hair into a ponytail that reached the small of her back, when she saw her bright-eyed, black skinned kitten walk up to her. "No one is here you can change back, Sakura." Just then, the cat switched forms, changing into a girl with short amber colored hair and amethyst eyes.
"I need to stretch. Man being a cat has its ups, but I have so much hair balls in my mouth I don't even want to talk about." The girl named Sakura Malfoy, complained. She looked like she was about nineteen years old, and had on lavender colored shirt and lavender colored socks that came up to her knees. She also had on a black shoes and skirt. "Oh my god, is my dear sister not liking her glamorous life as a cat." Niki snickered, taking her broom form out of her trunk, wearing, tight, black capris and a short-sleeved shirt that reached down, just a little below her waist. She also had on her white tennis shoes.
"Going somewhere. Out to meet a boy perhaps." Sakura said. "Nope. And I never will, again. Not after what happened after the last time I trusted one." Niki said not wanting to dwell on her sad past. "But you're going to have to trust them sometime, if you are going to make a heir to become the next Dream Master or Mistress." Sakura pointed out. "That's not a problem, my powers have not even awakened yet. So, one of the other six might have the power. What's the chance that Mother picked me, the youngest, out of the nine of us not including Lu, to get her powers." Niki questioned doubtfully. "Because the last candidates are me, you, Naomi, and Nicole. The rest are too old. And besides Mom gave you the Dream Key." Sakura persisted, pointing to Niki's necklace.
"You know, I bet me, out of the eight of us, is the last person Claudia would want to get the powers. She wanted to get them for herself. But now she wants Nicole to get them." Niki pout, referring to her eldest sister, Claudia. "Yea, enough about that. I want to go with you, cause' Claudia said that Black is cute and I want to see." Sakura said, getting the glazed over look she got every time she thought about cute boys. "He's not that cute." Niki denied. "Not that cute! You are in denial. I saw his brother, Adrian, OMG he is so hot. And plus Sirius is older than him."
"Whatever, you can come just don't cause trouble." Niki agreed, sitting upon her broom as if it were a chair, with her hands on either side of her. After making sure Sakura was situated safely on her head, she took out through the window. Niki saw she was early and sat on the bleachers, stroking Sakura, who had taken refuge into Niki's lap.
"I told you she would be late." Niki heard Sirius say from down below. Where she was, she could see them but they could not see her. "Why you put that loud mouth on the team anyway. As she has demonstrated many times, she's a spoiled brat." Sirius continued, oblivious to the fact Niki was hearing his every word. "Why don't you come say that to my face Black!" Niki yelled, her pride clouding her judgment. "I see you brought your little kitty, Clair." Sirius said taunting her. "I'll show you little kitty." Niki grumbled grabbing her broom from out of the corner, flinging Sakura off her lap in the process.
Niki climbed over her, now sitting with the broom in between her legs. As Sakura sat back down on top of her head. She flew down to where Sirius was, at break neck speed. Then she whispered to Sakura to changed forms, who still had that glazed over look in her eyes even in cat form. Sakura then jumped off the broom while transforming, and the boys looked on as a nineteen year old girl stood in front of them, looking at Sirius just the rest of the female population of Hogwarts.
Niki did admit to herself, but not for a long time, that he was attractive. However, did not throw herself at him just like the rest of the female population in Hogwarts. She smacked Sakura on the back of her head, and Sakura yelled out at her "Why did you do that for." "Do you know who that is?" Niki asked sweetly. Sakura shook her head indicating she did not know. "That's Sirius Black." Niki answered. "That's, oh, OH." Sakura said final realizing whom the cute boy was. "All I have to say is that Claudia was right about him, no denying it little sis." Sakura said, regretting the name she called her youngest sister.
"How much times have I told you not to call me little sister, little anything. You got it!" Niki screeched, making everyone (Except Sakura) cringe. "You think you would get used to it, you have 6 other sisters calling you by that name." Sakura pointed out. "Don't forget the two extra annoying brothers." Niki added. "So out of the ten of us, you get it the worst." Sakura said, "That's about right, yea." Niki answered. "I know that you have practice but I just have to say this, did you know that Niki is just like her Muggle mother." Sakura said before clapping her hand over her mouth and looking into Niki's face, which was marked with betrayal.
"How could you. Tell the whole world why don't you, that I'm really a half- blood witch that came from a pureblooded family. No, if I don't tell them your big mouth will." Niki screamed out, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. But she wouldn't cry of them, especially Black. It would give him more of an excuse to taunt her. So she ran, all they way to her room, and cried.
"Well that was the most dramatical practice we ever had." James said shocked about the big secret that Niki was hiding. "You can say that again." Sirius agreed nodding. 'This is perfect.' Sirius thought. 'Now I got some dirt on her. And I'll use it to my advantage.'
