Chapter 11

You Wish I Wish You Wish

Lily crept back up to the girl's dormitory after exchanging good-night kisses with James.  They had only meant to have one but...they just couldn't stop.  She smiled to herself.  If she wasn't careful, she'd become a little too addicted to him.  Not that that would be bad or anything, but...

She pushed open the door to the girl's dormitory.  It creaked loudly.  She froze momentarily and swept the room with her gaze.  She noticed Kiara's bed was empty.  Where in the fuzzy monkey is she?  It's 1AM! she wondered.  Jordan was still asleep though, so apparently the creak hadn't been as loud as she'd suspected. 

Lily quickly changed and crawled into bed.  As she lay there, waiting for sleep, she mulled over the previous events.  She couldn't believe what James had done for her.  It was the sweetest thing.  And the menus!  She still couldn't decide if it had been planned or if that was what the Room of Requirement thought was right.  Either way, she liked it.

"Well, well.  What do we have here?"  the sadistic voice of Professor Athole startled Sirius and Kiara.  Sirius rolled off Kiara and leapt to his feet.  "Professor!" he exclaimed as he helped Kiara up.  He could feel himself blushing furiously, something he didn't usually do.  He stepped slightly in front of Kiara, as if to protect her from Professor Athole.

"It didn't look much like you were cleaning the dungeon to me, Mr. Black." said the professor evilly.   "Unless of course you've found a new way to do so?"

"Please, Professor..." started Kiara, also blushing profusely. 

"Don't give me that fiddle-faddle about you falling down and him conveniently landing on top of you.  I've taught for thirty-five years now and I've heard practically every excuse in the book.  I'm not stupid."

"Could've fooled me." Sirius said under his breath.  Kiara stifled a giggle.

Professor Athole shot them a glare, but didn't comment.  "Come with me." he commanded. "We're going straight to Professor McGonagall.  I'm sure she will have something to say about this."

"Oh but Professor!" cried Kiara, once again attempting to explain themselves.

"Not another word, Miss Mitchells, not one word or you'll be in detention for the rest of your days here."  With that nasty comment, Athole turned, his robes swishing behind him, and stalked out of the room, leaving them to follow him.

"I'm really sorry!" whispered Sirius to Kiara as they hurried along after him. "Seems like all I do is get you in trouble."

Kiara looked over at him. "Are you kidding me?  I haven't had this much fun since Lily and I turned Jordan's hair green."

Sirius was shocked.  "You mean you're not mad?"

"Ow." Kiara, not paying attention to where she was going, had just walked into a corner.  Recovering quickly, she said, "Of course I'm not mad!  Why would I be?"

"Because I keep getting you into trouble?"

"Oh come on!" she exclaimed quietly. "You don't think I'm such a priss that I'd get pissed off at an totally adorable guy just because he got me into detention a couple times, do you?"

Sirius was completely and utterly flabbergasted.  She had just called him adorable!  Of course, he knew he was hot, he had girls throwing themselves at him all the time.  It just seemed different coming from her.  "I don't think you're prissy." he said quietly.

In the common room, slightly hidden in the shadows, lurked the James Potter Fan Club.  They had all dressed in black, by order of Irene, the group's self-proclaimed leader.  Having just witnessed a James/Lily kissfest, the girls were feeling decidedly not guilty about what they were about to do.

"Alright, Genna, do you have your note?"  asked Irene in a low hiss.

"Yes."

"And you, Lana, do you have yours?"

"Yeah, here." said Lana, handing a folded slip of paper to Irene, who took it and Genna's with the merest of nods.

"Now, Rebecca, you take this up to James' dormitory.  Be sure you put this next to his bed.  And make sure it IS his bed.  We can't afford any mistakes."

Rebecca rolled her eyes just the tiniest bit.  "Yes, sir."

"You mean, yes, ma'am." corrected Irene.

Rebecca gritted her teeth.  Irene was severely starting to grate on her nerves. "Sure.  Give it to me."

Irene flicked James' note to Rebecca.  "Renee, you're taking Lily's note.  Don't mess up this time."

Renee tensed.  She was really getting tired of the last fiasco being rubbed in her face all the time. "Yeah, I know." she said, snatching the note from Irene.

She tiptoed after Rebecca.  At the foot of their separate staircases, they exchanged hi-fives for good luck and snuck up the stairs.

"Well." said McGonagall, staring impressively down her nose at Sirius and Kiara. "I suppose I should have expected this from you two, judging by the way you were behaving in my class."

"Professor..." broke in Sirius.

"Yes, Mr. Black?" she sighed.

"I would just like to say that I'll take all the blame for this.  Kiara didn't do anything."

McGonagall arched an eyebrow.  "Oh so you're saying you possessed Kiara to throw things at you?"

Sirius gaped at her.  "How did you—I started it."

"Professor, don't listen to him." Kiara put in.  "I'm just as much at fault as he is."  When Sirius opened his mouth to argue, she dug her heel into his foot and hissed, "I'm not letting you take the blame for this."

"But—"

"Zip it."

McGonagall watched them with an amused smile on her face.  Quickly hiding it, she turned to Professor Athole, who was still skulking about the doorway.  "You may leave now, Elliott. We'll not be taking up anymore of your valuable time."

Athole opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it and nodded.  "Very well, Minerva. Good night."

"Now, back to you two."

Sirius opened his mouth to once again attempt to protect Kiara.  Kiara, noticing this, hissed in his ear. "Say one word and I'll never go near you again.  Work out for yourself what that means."

He opened and shut his mouth several times.  Finally, giving in, he whispered to her. "Fine. You win.  This time."

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked.

"It means that next time, I'm going to win."

"Oh, you wish!" she exclaimed.

"You wish I wish." said Sirius, folding his arms across his chest.

"You wish I wish you wish." Kiara shot back.

"You wish I wish you wish I wish."  countered Sirius, looking incredibly proud of himself.

Kiara rolled her eyes, but she was grinning.  "You wish I wish you wish I wish you wish."

Sirius raised an eyebrow.  He wasn't going to back down. "You wish I wish you wish I wish you—"

"A-ahem."  McGonagall cleared her throat, interrupting Sirius. 

Kiara grinned happily.  "I win again." she whispered.

Sirius once again opened his mouth to argue, but was quickly silenced with a look from McGonagall.  "Save your arguments for the morning." she said. "You both have detention tomorrow night with me.  Bring your quills, you will be doing lines.  Now get out of here."

Hardly daring to believe their luck, Sirius and Kiara hurried out of McGonagall's office and back up to the Gryffindor common room.

"So, no hard feelings?" asked Kiara, once they had arrived in the common room.

"Hard feelings about what?" Sirius asked, thoroughly confused.

"Me winning." Kiara smirked.

"You did not win!"

"I did to."

"I was interrupted! It didn't count."  complained Sirius.

"But I still won twice before that."

"What? How?"

"Before Athole left and back in the dungeon.  I got the last shot."

"You're lucky I like you." Sirius growled. "Otherwise you'd be in a whole lot of trouble right now."

Kiara laughed. "Oh please.  You wouldn't hurt a fly."

"Not so loud!" he hissed.  "You'll ruin my reputation!"

Kiara giggled.  "Oh come on.  Everyone knows you're just a big teddy bear." she paused.  "Except for maybe the people who don't know you."

Sirius rolled his eyes.  "Thank you, Miss Obvious." He grinned. 

"Anyway, I'd better be getting up to bed." she said.  "I'll see you in the morning."

As she turned and walked away, Sirius felt that urge again.  He ran up the first five stairs until he was behind her and grabbed her arm, spinning her around.  Unfortunately, he lost his balance and came tumbling down the stairs, taking Kiara with him.  At the bottom of the stairs, Kiara propped up her chin on her fists, leaning on her elbows.  "Well." she said. "That was graceful."  She climbed up off him.

As he pulled himself to his feet, she said, "Pray tell, what was so important for you to say that it couldn't wait til morning?"

Sirius stepped closer to her. "This." he said, leaning in to kiss her for the second time that night.

*Yay! They kissed again. For those of you who want more of Lily and James, they'll be coming up soon enough.  In the meantime though, we have cliffhangers!! What is the JPFC up to now? (Although, I'm sure you can guess...)  Will they succeed in tearing Lily and James apart? ::gasps:: NO!  Will anything happen in Sirius and Kiara's detention?  Possibly, possibly not.  We'll see.  Anyway review! Review! Review! Review!!!  Reviews are my motivation to write...quite possibly the reason why I'll never be able to go professional with this.  But I digress.  Review!! Luv you all!*
