A/N:
I'm on to chapter three, and so quickly! Although, I had to rip myself away from the most lovely fanfiction to type it up.
In the last chapter, it was hard to bring out enough of Linet's personality to convince you she was not a Mary-Sue. She won't be loved/hated by everyone, cause that's kind of impossible for any one person. She does have other flaws, which you'll get to see as the story develops further. To give an example, she isn't very skilled with the wand. I've worked a bit on Linet's character, so I hope a lot of her personality can come out.
This concludes my rambling.
Cheers,
H.D.D.

I love you all for doing so. Your suggestions on what not to do with Linet help keep the barriers in mind.

Disclaimer: Remember, I still don't own the glorious world of Harry Potter. However, I own Linet and the plot.
Warning: SLASH on Sirius' part. And some very murderous thoughts about Linet. Again, don't like it, don't read it.

Sirius' POV:
It was on my way back from Transfiguration that I first saw my problem. Linet Prewett, a Ravenclaw sharing our year, was walking beside Remus, obviously they were on their way back from Herbology. She must have said something funny, because Remus started to laugh. He seemed to be enjoying her company, which left a sour feeling in the pit of my stomach. I hadn't known Remus talked to any other person in Herbology except Lily.
Resisting the urge to run over and strangle the blonde girl, I decided to wait for them at the entrance to the grounds, contemplating whether Remus found the bespectacled girl attractive. I sure as hell didn't, then again I was gay.
It took too long for my liking for Remus to notice my presence at the top of the stairs.
"Hey Padfoot," he greeted cheerfully, running up the last few steps.
I shot Linet the coldest of looks before facing Remus with a grin.
"Hullo Moony. Have fun in Herbology?" I asked in my dullest voice.
Remus' smile widened, tossing Linet a glance. "It was quite a lesson."
"Quite," Linet agreed, stepping up beside Remus. Seeing this, I found my grin hard to keep, and my jaw tightened to hold it.
"Really?" came my reply with false enthusiasm. The both of them were too friendly already.
"We both earned detention," Remus continued.
That raised an eyebrow, actually, both.
"The once perfect prefect has detention! For what offense?" I asked in mock horror.
Remus laughed. "For standing up to Linet's cause of putting Emily Darrens in her place."
Linet grinned. "Remus means, I dumped a pot of dirt on Emily, then he called her a bitch rather loudly in front of the whole class in my defense. So now, we have detention Friday night."
"T-Together?" I said, having trouble finding my voice.
Remus nodded. "Can you believe it will be Linet's first detention in the past five years she's been here?"
"Yes, some how I can," I said coldly, but neither seemed to notice.
Seeing the happy smile plastered on Linet's face rekindled the urge to strangle her, or better yet, push her down the stairs. However, Remus didn't seem to share my sentiments.
"Linet, do you want to join me and my friends for lunch at the Gryffindor table?" he asked, facing her.
Now, it was Remus I wanted to strangle. How could he even suggest such a thing!
"Moony, I'm sure Linet has better things to do then hang around with us," I said, sending a glare her way.
Sensing my discomfort (or seeing my death glare), Linet shook her head. "No, I've got work to do."
"Some other time then," Remus said with a shrug. He looked over my shoulder. "Hey! There's James and Peter. I bet they're waiting for us. Come on, let's go. See you later, Linet."
He pulled at my robes, then ran into the castle.
I turned toward Linet, providing another dark look before I followed my favorite werewolf inside. On the way to lunch, I realized something. Linet Prewett was something my plan hadn't counted on. She was competition.
------------------------
So... How'd you like the third installment? Come on, be honest... and REVIEW telling me so!
Hopefully, I can update before I leave Friday for Atlanta, cause Saturday, I'm going to Vegas! Woo! And my exchange student is leaving for Japan... Lots of flying on that day. O.o
