"RENEGADE"
A/N: HI, THANX FOR THE REVIEWS. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! I'M WORKING ON A NEW FANFIC THAT WILL HAVE THE MARAUDERS IN IT. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I GET THE FIRST CHAPTER UP. HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ONE.
Disclaimer: Sad to say, I don't own Sirius Black. If I did, I would NOT have killed off the closest thing Harry had to a father because poor Harry's been through enough bullshit already in his life!
Random Thoughts: These are just like my little bit of inspiration or humor that I put at the beginning of every chapter I write. I don't know why, I just like to do it. They have nothing to do with the actual chapter.
This chapter's random thought is one of my favorite paragraphs in Order of the Phoenix: "Harry looked over his shoulder yet again and, to his delight, that Snape had settled himself on the grass in the dense shadows of a clump of bushes. He was as deeply immersed in the O.W.L. paper as ever, WHICH LEFT HARRY FREE TO SIT DOWN ON THE GRASS BETWEEN THE BEECH AND BUSHES AND WATCH THE FOURSOME UNDER THE TREE." ~JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 26, page 644 (American version). By "the foursome" Ms. Rowling obviously means Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter, but couldn't she have just said that? I swear, that book is downright pornographic when out of context!
Chapter 6 - The Count
Over the next week, Sirius spent most of his time at Raven's. They watched movies, listened to music, read books, and just talked. Strangely enough to Raven, Sirius had never seen any of the movies she had and knew next to nothing about music, other than he liked AC/DC.
Raven came out of the bathroom with her hair dripping wet and a towel around her body to find Sirius bent over her DVD collection, picking out yet another movie for the two of them to watch. She smiled as he pulled one from the row and examined the back.
"Ahem."
Sirius did three things at once: he jumped from hearing her voice, spun around quickly, and, after seeing that Raven was wet and wearing only a towel, dropped the DVD onto the floor.
Raven snickered. "Caught ya. Trying to steal one of my favorite movies?"
"Uh..." Sirius' mind had gone blank. He shook his head and tried to concentrate on the movie at his feet. "Er...no, sorry. Just thought we'd watch another tonight." He smiled slightly and chanced another look at her. "You got a hot date or something?"
Raven giggled. "Are you implying that I normally don't take a shower unless I wanna impress a guy?"
"Well no!"
"You're the one who barged into my house without an invitation! What, was I supposed to know you'd be standing in the middle of my living room when I got out of the shower?
Sirius laughed and relaxed a little bit. She had a way of making any situation, however awkward or embarrassing, a comfortable one. "You're an impossible woman to argue with, did you know that?"
Raven nodded her head and smiled innocently. "I'm gonna go get dressed now. Why don't you make me some food."
"You forget, I almost burned down your kitchen two nights ago," he said as she disappeared into her bedroom. He hadn't had much practice cooking in the last 13 years, not to mention without the use of his wand.
"I didn't forget, I was simply reminding *you*," she said, raising her voice to carry through her bedroom door.
"Yeah, well just for the record you don't hafta take a shower to impress me," he called. "You already do," he added to himself as he picked up the DVD from the floor and put it into her DVD player. "How do you turn this thing on again?"
"You worry me sometimes," she said from right behind him.
Sirius didn't turn around. "You're not naked, are you?"
"You think I'm that easy?" She reached in front of him and switched on the TV.
"Would you rather watch Girls Gone Wild? I've got that over at my house," teased Sirius.
Raven laughed and hit him playfully across the chest. "I may be easy, but I'm not sleazy!"
Sirius let out one sharp, "Ha!...No, I know you aren't. I was kidding, I don't really have Girls Gone Wild at my house..."
"I'm glad."
"...I lent it to my friend, Remus," he continued, joking.
"Alright, I didn't need to know that. That was an overshare."
"I'm shitting you, okay? Jesus. Can we watch this?" He held up The Count of Monte Cristo. "What's it about?"
Raven smiled. "Um, a guy gets sent to prison by his best friend and then he escapes and takes his revenge."
Sirius' eyes widened in shock. "Are you serious?"
"I thought *you* were Sirius," Raven responded.
Sirius made a face at her and rolled his eyes. "Sounds like a goodie." He laid on the sofa and crossed his legs, putting his arms behind his head and taking up the entire couch. "Alright, start it up." He thought to himself, 'I'll take notes.'
"Typical male," Raven muttered under her breath as she started the movie.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Raven," Sirius said as he sat up and patted the couch space next to him. "Come sit next to Papa."
Raven's mouth dropped open as she promptly seized a pillow and threw it in Sirius' face. "You get weirder every day I'm with you, you know that?" She sat next to him.
Sirius put his arm around her and slid her down next to him. "You say that like it's a bad thing."
Raven was surprized both of his strength and of being this close to him. She shivered slightly as she looked into his eyes. 'If we kissed, would it ruin everything?' she thought.
Sirius looked away quickly. "Did I miss something already? What's happening?"
Raven snapped out of it. "Oh, yeah the beginning's a little confusing. Here, we'll start over." She skipped back to the previous scene. "See, that's Edmond Dantes and the other guy is his so-called best friend, Fernand Mondego. Their captain has brain fever and they went ashore to Elba for help and they're getting chased by the French dragoons because they think they're some of Napoleon Bonaparte's agents sent to help him escape the island."
"How many times have you seen this movie?" asked Sirius as she rattled on.
"Um, only a few...hundred." She smiled.
"Wow."
They continued watching the movie and soon Sirius was completely engrossed in it. He kept overreacting to everything that happened in the movie because it so closely resembled what had happened to him and Raven was laughing at him.
"You're really into this, aren't you?" she said, with an amused smirk on her face.
"This is outrageous! That guy just wants Edmond's girlfriend!"
"Ya think?" said Raven, sarcastically, trying to hold in her laughter.
"How long is he in prison for?"
"Thirteen years."
"Thirteen???" Sirius was amazed. He'd been in for twelve before he escaped. "And he escapes?"
"You wanna watch the rest of it, or do you want me to tell you the ending, too?"
He smiled as Raven went to make some popcorn.
(A/N: IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, AND YOU LOVE PRISONER OF AZKABAN, GO RENT IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME AND IT REALLY RESEMBLES PADFOOT'S SITUATION. WELL, I SHOULD SAY PADFOOT'S SITUATION RESEMBLES THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. BUT GO RENT THE MOVIE AND THEN READ THE BOOK. YOU'LL THANK ME, I SWEAR! IT HAS JIM CAVIEZEL IN IT, HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS. HE WAS JESUS IN THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST IN CASE YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE THE NAME. OKAY, I'LL SHUT UP NOW.)
"Hey, there's a cat out there!"
Sirius got up from the sofa and stood behind her, looking out the door. It ran through the yard again and Raven put her hand on the doorknob. Sirius brought his hand up to her shoulder and pulled her back. "Let me get it."
He went outside slowly and into the bushes after the cat. He came out with it in his arms, it desperately trying to get away. He held it in his hands and gently stroked its head. "I can feel her ribs. I think she might be sick," he said as he came back into the house.
Raven resorted to her baby talk. "Aw, hi, baby. Hi, sweetie, are you lost?" She gently took the cat from Sirius and cradled it into her arm, petting it gently with her fingers. "I don't have any catfood. Get a dish of milk, will you?"
Sirius hopped right to it and after the cat had her fill of milk, she was very friendly and laid between the two of them on the couch. Sirius made Raven go to the previous scene so he didn't miss any of the movie. Sirius tried to contain his frustration in the movie so he didn't scare the cat.
"She's a sweetie," he said as he stroked the top of her head and she purred.
"She is. Wonder where she came from."
"Well, she's ours now," said Sirius, simply.
"Ours?"
"Yes, ours. We can't just leave her. She can come live with me."
"Does Padfoot get along with cats?"
"Padfoot loves kitties, he'll be happy to have another animal around."
"What does he need another one for?" teased Raven.
"Hey! I'm no animal!" 'Lies,' he thought to himself.
