Barking Mad
It was the first Quiddicth training of the new year, the same night as the full moon. So Remus was gone, James had left Sirius with Peter to help him with his homework and private studies which he wasn't at all doing very well at.
James had walked down to the stadium with Nissa, she didn't talk to him the whole walk down though he did try and make conversance, but she just didn't seem to be in the mood.
Michael talked to them all while they get changed, not really taking much in part from the fact that he had mention that this was his last year and expected them to win the Quidditch Cup again.
"I hope that everyone will be able to play the whole year, this time round." Michael said as they made their way out onto the pitch.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Nissa demanded.
"You know what I mean; you missed a very important match." Michael told her.
"I wasn't well." Nissa said through gritted teeth trying to control her temper as the moon shun down onto them all. It had come out quit early, though it still wasn't very dark yet.
"Hey maybe now that your hanging around with the Slytherin's we'll have some of that brut strength on our team." Jake suggested half joking.
"Yeah right, look at her." Michael said laughing.
Nissa kicked the side of her broom swinging it around as though ready to attack him with it, Michael stop laughing and stepped back slightly.
James thought the whole thing quit funny and wouldn't have minded seeing her kick the crap out of Michael, who wouldn't but he thought better of it.
"Maybe we should just get on with training." James suggested, and then added. "Even though we would all love to see Nis kick the crap out of you."
Everyone started to laugh well part from Michael that was, Nissa lowed her broom and then mounted it with the other's.
The rest of the night went alright, though Nissa seemed to have a hard time controlling her temper, but it wasn't helped by Michael who kept trying to catch her out.
"Right I think that's enough for tonight." Michael told them.
Nissa swung past him almost knocking him off his broom, as she landed perfectly. He couldn't help himself he had to say one more thing.
"We all knew that you would turn, as soon as we heard your name 'Manus'." Michael shot at her.
All the control she had been trying to keep all night was suddenly gone, she had switched her broom to her other hand and had punched him in the face before anyone had even realised that she had moved. But they all heard his nose break, a sicken crack.
Nissa glared at him as he looked up at her, blood running down his face, she turned on her heals and walked off.
"Your off the team, you'll never fly again." Michael shouted after her.
Michael shouted at the whole team while Olin tired to push him off towards the castle, he wanted to make sure that none of them was going to say anything about what had happened. (Well of course he didn't want everyone knowing that a girl had broken his nose, but it wasn't very likely that they were going to keep their mouths shut for long.)
Nissa went straight up to the common room; she was of course the first one back. As soon as she walked through the portent hole Sirius jumped to his and went straight over to her.
"Is it over, is James coming?" Sirius asked her quickly.
"He should be, but I left before they decided who was taking Michael up to the hospital wing." Nissa told him.
Sirius smiled he couldn't help it, he never did much like Michael; quit a few people were looking up listening to find out what had happened.
"So what happened?" Sirius asked her eagerly.
"I broke his nose." Nissa answered smilply.
Sirius smiled even wider at her his eyes sparkling, she couldn't help but smile at him like this.
"Serious?" Sirius asked.
"That's your name isn't it?" Nissa joked, starting to walk off but he licked her arm.
"Nice to see you're still in there somewhere." Sirius told her. "So why did you hit him?"
Nissa didn't answer him, he had a feeling that he knew and could feel that she was slipping again. Just then the rest of the team came in; James went straight over to them. A little surprised to see the two of them together, but at this Nissa tried to get her arm back but he wasn't letting her.
"Team try outs tomorrow night." Jake announced. "Sorry Nissa."
"You're off the team?" Sirius asked her.
"You broke his nose, which kind of proved his point." Ryley told her.
Nissa stepped forward, but Sirius grabbed her around the waist while Ryley quickly moved away from her. Sirius had to pull her away he had forgotten how strong she really was. When they reached the sofa her friends were sat on she finally pulled herself out of his arms but a little too strongly so Sirius had to grab hold of her so that she didn't fall.
"I'm not a Manus." Nissa shot at Sirius as he held her hand.
"I know your not." Sirius reassured her.
"Well stop acting like one then." James told her.
Nissa pulled her hand back and glared at James before she walked off up the girl's stairs making Ryley run out of her way.
"What?" James asked the staring Sirius.
By the time that the full moon was over and Remus had come back the whole school knew what had happened, though now it sounded move like that they had a full on fight and Nissa cursed him into a broom and almost set fire to him. Well that part Sirius had told anyone who would listen thinking it was quit funny, which even Nissa herself had found that one funny.
Remus though didn't think any of it funny, well yes a little of course, but there was something else as well that he couldn't tell them.
Nissa had been given detention of course because the teacher's had heard what had happened, well kind of of course.
Bella wasn't at all pleased about it she thought that he was giving Nissa more attention then her, and pushed him into taking her on a sort of date to make up for it.
They couldn't really go anywhere so they just went for a walk on their own around the grounds, Sirius though had gotten quit bored and had run out of thing's to talk about after the first five minutes.
Bella made sure that they stayed well away from the Forbidden Forest, she didn't want to go anywhere near it. After ten minutes Sirius was bored and couldn't think of anything to do, so they kissed for a while, but Bella didn't want to do much of that she wanted to talk as well to get to know him.
They only spent about an hour walking around before they went back in, and Sirius gave her another good night kiss. She blushed and then went of to her common room, and he went to his.
"So how did it go?" James asked getting up off his bed and sitting on the end of Remus'.
"We walked, talked a little and we kissed." Sirius answered.
"And?" Prompted James and Matt.
"And what?" Sirius asked. "Was something else supposed to happen, was I supposed to do something else?"
They all looked at each other, none of them had never really gone of dates themselves and Sirius wasn't really sure that it was a date that he had gone on tonight or just a walk around the grounds.
***
A couple of nights later they had found a room to themselves and somewhere where no one ever goes, they weren't having that much luck later of having time to themselves to practice, but tonight finally they could.
Peter seemed as though he had just started even though he had been working on it for over a year and a half already. Sirius was getting over excited about this spell he had found in a book, and was trying his hardest to get it to work. Though unlucky for him it worked to well.
"So how's it going?" Remus asked him smiling.
Sirius opened his mouth to answer but words didn't come out instead he barked like a dog. James burst out laughing while Peter jumped thinking that there was a real dog in the class room.
"That's great; all you need now is the rest of you." James said smiling.
"A dog and a werewolf should go alright together," Remus said. "It won't mind him being a rat or even you being a stag, they care more for people then animals."
Sirius barked again instead of saying what he wanted to say.
"You can change back now." James told him smiling.
Sirius just barked the words wouldn't come to him, he grabbed at Remus' bag and pulled out a quill and parchment to tell them.
'I can't change my voice back!'
James just laughed even Remus couldn't help but laugh, Sirius didn't find it funny to start with then ideas started to pop into his mind, and he was now looking forward to the morning.
'Let's have some fun!'
"That sounds promising." James said smiling.
Sirius had winded up Matt, he didn't like dogs, so every so often after they had all gotten into bed Sirius would bark making him jump.
"You heard that didn't you?" Matt asked James in the bed next to him.
"Heard what?" James asked trying not to laugh.
"That dog, you can't tell me that you didn't hear it." Matt told him.
"A dog, but no one as a dog as a pet, you know that." James reassured him still trying not to laugh.
Next morning Matt was feeling much better in the light of day, until he was just about to walk out of the door when he heard an even louder bark then he had done the night before. He swung round looking around the room in a panic trying to find out where the noise came from but he could only see his friends.
Sirius was holding onto James trying his hardest not to laugh.
"Is there something wrong?" James asked him.
"No... no...it was nothing...it couldn't have been." Matt said slowly and turned round and quickly left the room.
They made their way down to the Great Hall looking forward to the fun ahead of them.
"One thing, Bella." Remus said. "Maybe you should just try and stay away from her until we've sorted this out."
"Unless you think she likes the animal thing." James suggested laughing.
"I don't get it." Peter said, making them all laugh.
"It doesn't matter." James reassured him.
Sirius agreed about staying away from Bella even if he didn't say so, which he couldn't only bark at them. They decided that he shouldn't do it during breakfast because people might know that it was him.
Sirius tried his hardest not to growl or bark which was hard, because every time he ate something it was as though he growl showing how much he liked it. Nissa was sat next to him today and was getting a little irritated with the noises, and they kept making her jump also.
"I know I said that you ate like an animal but you don't need to sound like one as." Nissa told him.
Sirius was just about to growl loudly at her when Bella came over to their table with her friend Annette.
"Hey." Bella said smiling.
Sirius quickly turned round and smiled at her, Nissa got up to leave while Lily took one last slip of her drink. Sirius growled loudly at her making her jump and knock into Remus who slit his drink over Peter's breakfast.
James was laughing his head off as Nissa strengthen herself quickly, Sirius was trying to laugh but didn't really come out like anything they had even heard of; Bella looked at him wondering what he was playing at. Nissa walked off quickly followed by Bella, Annette and Lily.
"That went well." James said smiling. "Come on, let's get to Potions."
Remus looked over at him knowing that he was up to something, because he was never normally in a rush to get to potions none of them were.
James filled them in on his idea as they made their way down to the dungeon's, Sirius was up for as always Remus wasn't to sure, Peter well he went along with everything they suggested.
James and Sirius set up right behind Snape and Nissa as normal, with Remus and the Peter. Nissa kept looking back at him half expecting him to do or say something after breakfast but he didn't.
Today she had her hair down but pulled back, still black with strong hints of red. But she wasn't wearing green today, but blue, which they didn't mind.
They waited until the lesson had started and Jevidah had set them a potion to make, and they had all started; then it started.
Sirius would growl slightly or bark to distract Snape while he was cutting up an ingredient or placing it into his caldron, he would miss or do something wrong. When ever he looked around to find out where the noises were coming from, he couldn't see anything only Potter and Black stood behind him. Severus was just about to pull his wand out think that it was one of them when Nissa suddenly stopped him as though she knew what he was thinking.
"That isn't such a good idea, even in here." Nissa told him quietly.
It was almost the end of the lesson, and Severus wasn't at all pleased with his potion, it looked nothing like it should be looking like. He was fluming as he collected a sample in a vial. Sirius growled even louder at him then he had before making him drop the potion down his front, at the same time that Matt was telling Remus that he was hearing that noise again.
Severus' robes started to change to different colours, which weren't really what the potion was meant to do, but it looked funny all the same. Jevidah came over at once while James and Sirius were laughing behind their caldrons; he fixed his robes and then took a sample for himself very disappointed in his work.
"Detention Mr Potter." Jevidah announced not telling him why.
Nissa stepped back and whispered at Sirius. "Quit it, stop being so childish."
Sirius smiled at her, and then wrapped his arm around her.
"I mean, I doubt that you would want to lose that lovely voice of yours." Nissa told him smiling back; with a mischief look which he had many a time before.
"Mr Black can you please keep your hands to yourself." Jevidah said loudly making everyone look over at them. "This really isn't the time or place to try and get your self another girlfriend. Though I'm quit sure that Miss Tiania isn't stupid to fall for the likes of you, unlike the rest of the girls who seem to be following all over you."
Sirius reluctantly let go of her, Nissa went back to her caldron while Severus glared at him holding tightly onto his own caldron as though he wanted to through it at Sirius' head for even thinking let alone touch her.
In Herbology Sirius had gotten hold of a note pad and was writing down what he wanted to say.
'She likes me, she loves me!'
"Of course she does mate." James told him trying not to laugh at him.
Remus thought that he had lost his mind, if he thought that this was how she showed that she liked him.
'Jevidah has a point. I could have 2 girlfriends.'
"Yeah right, in this place, without them finding out." James said. "Well that will be easy won't it?"
'Good point. We have to do something, to get her away from those Slytherin's at less.'
"If she won't go out with you. Remus can go out with her." James suggested smiling at Remus.
Remus went bright red and dropped his flower pot sending dirt everywhere, while James laughed at him and Sirius made strange noises.
"Mr Lupin try and be more careful." Professor Sprout told him.
When she had looked away Sirius barked at him trying to tell him something, which of course he couldn't understand, everyone laughed at Sirius thinking all a joke what he was putting on.
Nissa quickly looked over at him while he wasn't looking and then back to Lily and Natalie.
"I wish he wouldn't do that." Nissa told them.
"I know, it's getting so annoying." Lily agreed.
"She isn't that bad, she's not bad looking." James told him smiling. "She might need to loosen up a little though."
"No." Remus said. "I can't."
Sirius barked at him, but James hit him in the ribs to be quiet.
"Why don't you like her? Is it the wolf part does it sense something?" James asked in a whisper.
"It isn't that." Remus said, not wanting to get into the whole thing, but was saved by the bell.
They kept trying to find out why he wouldn't go put with her, while Remus kept trying to get Sirius to ask McGonagall for help with his voice, because even he was getting a little bored with it now; well because most had figured out that it was him and it wasn't having the same effect as it did to start with.
Sirius had made them sit behind Lily and Nissa because he had come up with an idea of who to get his voice back. Professor McGonagall talked to them while Sirius concentrated hard staring at the back of Nissa's head.
'Nissa! Can you hear me?'
It didn't work, he tried and tried again.
'Why can't you hear me? Nissa!'
Nissa turned around. "What?"
James looked at her confused, while Sirius smiled at her. It had worked finally.
"We never said anything." James told her.
Nissa looked at them both and then turned back around, knowing that she wasn't hearing thing's. Sirius kicked the back of her chair and tried again.
'Can you hear me?'
'How?'
'Help me; I want to get my voice back. You told me that you could take it away so you should be able to get it back.'
Nissa was very impressed with the fact that he could talk to her like he was, so she decided to help him.
'McGonagall?'
'No!'
Nissa smiled to herself. 'Fine. I'm sure that I've got something; at lunch then.'
'It's a date.'
'Not a date.'
'What ever you say.' Sirius smiled to himself and then kicked the back of her chair again; she moved it forward out of his reach.
Sirius managed to land himself another detention, for not answering McGonagall when she had asked him a question and for when he had answered he had barked at her. Severus was very pleased with the fact that he had finally gotten a detention for acting like an idiot.
"I'll meet you in the hall; I've just got to get something from upstairs." Nissa told Lily, she nodded while Nissa went off and was followed by Sirius and his friends. Though he did had to drag them along because they didn't know what was going on, for the fact that Nissa hadn't told them and Sirius didn't have any parchment on him.
When they reached the common room Nissa went up stairs to her room, and left Sirius to try and explain to his friends what was going on which he didn't really have much luck of course.
Nissa came back down a couple of minutes later carrying a vial with a weird looking liquid inside of it, Sirius pointed at her to try and explain but James and Remus were drawing blanks.
"Drink." Nissa told Sirius handing him the vial.
"What's that, and what's going on?" James asked while Sirius eyed the liquid.
"It'll stop the barking and he'll get his own voice back." Nissa answered.
"We never told you." James said.
"No Sirius did." Nissa told him, making them both stare at her.
"How?" Remus asked .
Nissa didn't answer him. "Drink."
Sirius took one last look at the vial and then necked it in one.
"It may hurt a little." Nissa told him.
Sirius flung his arms up at her as she smiled slightly at him. He suddenly grabbed his throat as a stirring pain stabbed at it and then worked its way through his whole head; he jumped to his knees gasping for breath.
"Better?" Nissa asked him pleasantly as though this was quit normal behaviour.
"You could have said something before I drank it." Sirius shouted at her; he suddenly realised that he could talk and jumped to his feet and kissed her, she kissed him back for a moment before she realised what she was doing and pushed him away.
Sirius was completely confused, one minute she was kissing him and the next she was pushing him away. Nissa left them without saying a word.
"Thanks." Sirius shouted after her.
"How did she know?" James asked him.
"Why or how did she have the right potion for you?" Remus asked.
"I asked her for help, I knew she could." Sirius told them. "She told me that she could take my voice away, so she should be able to give it back as well." And then admitted. "Well I was hoping she knew, and she did."
It was the first Quiddicth training of the new year, the same night as the full moon. So Remus was gone, James had left Sirius with Peter to help him with his homework and private studies which he wasn't at all doing very well at.
James had walked down to the stadium with Nissa, she didn't talk to him the whole walk down though he did try and make conversance, but she just didn't seem to be in the mood.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Nissa demanded.
"You know what I mean; you missed a very important match." Michael told her.
"I wasn't well." Nissa said through gritted teeth trying to control her temper as the moon shun down onto them all. It had come out quit early, though it still wasn't very dark yet.
"Hey maybe now that your hanging around with the Slytherin's we'll have some of that brut strength on our team." Jake suggested half joking.
"Yeah right, look at her." Michael said laughing.
Nissa kicked the side of her broom swinging it around as though ready to attack him with it, Michael stop laughing and stepped back slightly.
James thought the whole thing quit funny and wouldn't have minded seeing her kick the crap out of Michael, who wouldn't but he thought better of it.
"Maybe we should just get on with training." James suggested, and then added. "Even though we would all love to see Nis kick the crap out of you."
Everyone started to laugh well part from Michael that was, Nissa lowed her broom and then mounted it with the other's.
The rest of the night went alright, though Nissa seemed to have a hard time controlling her temper, but it wasn't helped by Michael who kept trying to catch her out.

A couple of nights later they had found a room to themselves and somewhere where no one ever goes, they weren't having that much luck later of having time to themselves to practice, but tonight finally they could.
Peter seemed as though he had just started even though he had been working on it for over a year and a half already. Sirius was getting over excited about this spell he had found in a book, and was trying his hardest to get it to work. Though unlucky for him it worked to well.

"Mr Black can you please keep your hands to yourself." Jevidah said loudly making everyone look over at them. "This really isn't the time or place to try and get your self another girlfriend. Though I'm quit sure that Miss Tiania isn't stupid to fall for the likes of you, unlike the rest of the girls who seem to be following all over you."
Sirius reluctantly let go of her, Nissa went back to her caldron while Severus glared at him holding tightly onto his own caldron as though he wanted to through it at Sirius' head for even thinking let alone touch her.
In Herbology Sirius had gotten hold of a note pad and was writing down what he wanted to say.
'She likes me, she loves me!'
"Of course she does mate." James told him trying not to laugh at him.
Remus thought that he had lost his mind, if he thought that this was how she showed that she liked him.
'Jevidah has a point. I could have 2 girlfriends.'
"Yeah right, in this place, without them finding out." James said. "Well that will be easy won't it?"
'Good point. We have to do something, to get her away from those Slytherin's at less.'
"If she won't go out with you. Remus can go out with her." James suggested smiling at Remus.
Remus went bright red and dropped his flower pot sending dirt everywhere, while James laughed at him and Sirius made strange noises.
"Mr Lupin try and be more careful." Professor Sprout told him.
When she had looked away Sirius barked at him trying to tell him something, which of course he couldn't understand, everyone laughed at Sirius thinking all a joke what he was putting on.
Nissa quickly looked over at him while he wasn't looking and then back to Lily and Natalie.
"I wish he wouldn't do that." Nissa told them.
"I know, it's getting so annoying." Lily agreed.
"She isn't that bad, she's not bad looking." James told him smiling. "She might need to loosen up a little though."
"No." Remus said. "I can't."
Sirius barked at him, but James hit him in the ribs to be quiet.
"Why don't you like her? Is it the wolf part does it sense something?" James asked in a whisper.
"It isn't that." Remus said, not wanting to get into the whole thing, but was saved by the bell.
They kept trying to find out why he wouldn't go put with her, while Remus kept trying to get Sirius to ask McGonagall for help with his voice, because even he was getting a little bored with it now; well because most had figured out that it was him and it wasn't having the same effect as it did to start with.
Sirius had made them sit behind Lily and Nissa because he had come up with an idea of who to get his voice back. Professor McGonagall talked to them while Sirius concentrated hard staring at the back of Nissa's head.
'Nissa! Can you hear me?'
It didn't work, he tried and tried again.
'Why can't you hear me? Nissa!'
Nissa turned around. "What?"
James looked at her confused, while Sirius smiled at her. It had worked finally.
"We never said anything." James told her.
Nissa looked at them both and then turned back around, knowing that she wasn't hearing thing's. Sirius kicked the back of her chair and tried again.
'Can you hear me?'
'How?'
'Help me; I want to get my voice back. You told me that you could take it away so you should be able to get it back.'
Nissa was very impressed with the fact that he could talk to her like he was, so she decided to help him.
'McGonagall?'
'No!'
Nissa smiled to herself. 'Fine. I'm sure that I've got something; at lunch then.'
'It's a date.'
'Not a date.'
'What ever you say.' Sirius smiled to himself and then kicked the back of her chair again; she moved it forward out of his reach.
Sirius managed to land himself another detention, for not answering McGonagall when she had asked him a question and for when he had answered he had barked at her. Severus was very pleased with the fact that he had finally gotten a detention for acting like an idiot.
"I'll meet you in the hall; I've just got to get something from upstairs." Nissa told Lily, she nodded while Nissa went off and was followed by Sirius and his friends. Though he did had to drag them along because they didn't know what was going on, for the fact that Nissa hadn't told them and Sirius didn't have any parchment on him.
When they reached the common room Nissa went up stairs to her room, and left Sirius to try and explain to his friends what was going on which he didn't really have much luck of course.
Nissa came back down a couple of minutes later carrying a vial with a weird looking liquid inside of it, Sirius pointed at her to try and explain but James and Remus were drawing blanks.
"Drink." Nissa told Sirius handing him the vial.
"What's that, and what's going on?" James asked while Sirius eyed the liquid.
"It'll stop the barking and he'll get his own voice back." Nissa answered.
"We never told you." James said.
"No Sirius did." Nissa told him, making them both stare at her.
"How?" Remus asked .
Nissa didn't answer him. "Drink."
Sirius took one last look at the vial and then necked it in one.
"It may hurt a little." Nissa told him.
Sirius flung his arms up at her as she smiled slightly at him. He suddenly grabbed his throat as a stirring pain stabbed at it and then worked its way through his whole head; he jumped to his knees gasping for breath.
"Better?" Nissa asked him pleasantly as though this was quit normal behaviour.
"You could have said something before I drank it." Sirius shouted at her; he suddenly realised that he could talk and jumped to his feet and kissed her, she kissed him back for a moment before she realised what she was doing and pushed him away.
Sirius was completely confused, one minute she was kissing him and the next she was pushing him away. Nissa left them without saying a word.
"Thanks." Sirius shouted after her.
"How did she know?" James asked him.
"Why or how did she have the right potion for you?" Remus asked.
"I asked her for help, I knew she could." Sirius told them. "She told me that she could take my voice away, so she should be able to give it back as well." And then admitted. "Well I was hoping she knew, and she did."
