Sorry if this one sucks. It is longer and I didn't reread it, so deal with
it and review to tell me how it was.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dumbledore lifted up his head and tried desperately to retain his authority while looking at the not so smug Sirius Black and James Potter.
The two boys just shot Diana and Lily angry glares while they were all forced to stand next to each other.
"What am I going to do with you four?" he said, in between giggles. Finally, after a minute or two he calmed down and stood up. He cleared his throat but couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He took a deep breath, and then proceeded to scold them.
"I am extremely shocked at the four of you. Well, actually I'm not, but I do think that you have gone too far. First of all, Black and Potter.." He just shook his head. "What you two have done today was completely uncalled for and if I may say so, incredibly depraved. Why, pray tell, would you want to humiliate these girls like that? They do not deserve such animal behavior being taken out on them. It was unnecessary and completely childish. I would think that after the five years we have tolerated this behavior that you would grow up. It has gone far enough."
"Well, sir if I may speak for the both of us, I think that Evans and Renton deserved every second of it." James said.
"We did not!" Lily shot back.
"Be quiet Miss Evans and let me handle this." Dumbledore said. "They most certainly did not deserve this Mr. Potter, and it is not for you to decide that either. You will not get away with that without severe punishment. I do not want any of this happening again." He said, pointing a finger at them. They nodded and put their heads down. " You two will get detention for an entire month."
"What?" Diana said. "That's it?" she was angry.
"Mind your business Renton." Sirius spat. James and Sirius held the record for the most detentions ever at Hogwarts, with Sirius slightly ahead by 558, while James had 547.
"Now, now Miss Renton. For your behavior and Miss Evans', you will also receive and entire months detention."
"That's not fair! We were just paying them back. They deserved it!" Lily spat.
"Miss Evans I will say this again that it is not your duty to decide the punishment of these young men. I know that what they did to you was unfair and embarrassing, but stripping them of their clothes and transfiguring their underwear into, um, different underwear is completely childish. I honestly expected better from you two. You are all sixteen and seventeen years old. You will not get off this scott free. What you all have done was completely over the top, even for you. If anything like this happens again, you WILL be expelled. Is that clear?" The girls slightly felt guilty, but still loved the prank just the same.
"Sorry Professor." They said, not meaning it.
"Now, now, don't apologize. I did find it rather amusing if I do say so myself. But at any rate, you two will not be serving detention together. The last thing I need right now is you four starting trouble, and you will not be with your friends."
"Huh? Why not?" James asked.
"I am splitting you up for your own good. Potter, you will be with Renton cleaning the common rooms..."
"What?!" they both screamed. "No!" James yelled.
"That will take hours!" Diana screeched.
"...Of all four houses, without magic." He finished.
"What? That's impossible. That will take at least.." James started.
"A month?" Lily mockingly asked.
"Now don't be smart Miss Evans. You and Black will be down in the kitchen, helping the house elves with the dishes every night for the rest of September."
"Oh, professor, no, not with Black please?" Lily begged. "And anything but cleaning. It is seriously the two things I hate most in the world combined. I can't take it, not with all the exams and homework..."
"Oh quit your complaining Evans." James snapped. "And since when do you hate Sirius more than me?"
"I consider you two one thing, you two don't deserve separate spots, considering you share a brain."
"I consider that a compliment." Sirius smugly said.
"Oh yes, you are both God's gift to women after all." Diana said, rolling her eyes.
"Stop it, all of you. Now since dinner is over you all will start immediately. Potter and Renton, you will start with the Slytherin common room."
"You can't be serious?" James said while Sirius began to smile. Then James pointed to him. "Say it and I kill you." (An: whew, another Serious/Sirius joke successfully avoided)
"Professor you are asking for a death wish here." Diana began. "They'll eat us alive."
"I will never say this again as long as I live but Renton is right. Everyone knows how much they hate us." James said.
"Deal with it." Dumbledore said. "Now all of you go, you will find your cleaning supplies in the supplies closet on each floor of each common room. Oh, and you all must leave together. Black and Evans, the house elves are eagerly waiting your arrival. I hope you like to scrub."
Each teenager shuffled themselves out of his office with a look of resentment towards their headmaster and absolute hatred for each other.
"Oh and one more thing." Dumbledore began. They all turned around. "50 house points will be taken away from each of you for your serious lack of maturity and bad examples toward the underclassman."
"50!" Sirius screamed. "That's 200 points overall!"
"Yes, well I'm glad you can count Mr. Black. Now hurry up or I'll add on a week." He said, pointing a stern but caring finger at them. He had a deep affection for these students, and he figured that they would just earn the points back during the first Quidditch match anyway. "And shake hands!" he ordered. The girls flinched and the guys looked the other way as they quickly and feebly shook hands. "Now I want this to be a sign of truce, do you hear me?" they nodded and left his office with an angry, but calmer disposition.
Diana and Lily were slightly ahead; they didn't split up just yet.
"200 points." Lily muttered.
"We didn't even have points to begin with." Diana answered, and glared angrily at Black, who was lagging behind.
"Shut up Renton." He said absentmindedly.
"Black. Be quiet, you are going to get us expelled." Lily sighed.
"That was if we did anything else, we could still hate you." James snapped back.
"Listen, I don't like this anymore than you do, but we should split up now." Diana said.
"Fine." Sirius answered. "We're closer anyway, so I'll see you later Prongs?" Sirius said.
"Yea. Renton, let's go." James said. Diana walked slightly in front of him while Lily did a good job of staying at least five feet away from Sirius.
Diana and James walked in silence to the Slytherin common room in the dungeon. They made their way to the supply closet and opened the door. Mounds of dust flew at them and they started coughing profusely. Then they each grabbed a cleaning broom and some cloths to dust with. Then they made their way to the common room door. Despite their obvious hate towards one another they looked at each other and sighed before knocking. Dumbledore had not given them the password.
None other than Lucius Malfoy opened the door. He leaned against it and folded his arms.
"Well, well, well, what have we here? Punishment, no doubt, for your, ahem, antics this evening. My, my Renton, you have been a bad girl." He slyly commented.
"Shut up Malfoy and stand aside. We want to get his over as quickly as possible." James said, obviously annoyed. And he was disgusted at the blatant attempt to flirt, especially now.
"Well, I certainly don't want to be in your way." He started. Then he turned to the entire common room. "Everyone, the Gryffindor filth is here to make this place tidy. Now don't move on their benefit. They like to work around you." He shouted. The common room broke out into snickers and some laughter. Diana and James just glared at him. "Well don't just stand there, I'm not stopping you. Get to work." Lucius mockingly ordered.
Diana and James had neither the strength nor the wit to talk back to him at that moment. They had already gotten punished, threatened with expulsion, and lost points that hadn't even been given yet.
The Slytherin common room was, in their opinion, a nasty place. It's dark colors and eerie atmosphere gave it a sinister, almost evil aura about it. it was clad in greens and silvers. Every other inch of it was black. It was cold, since it was in the dungeon, and there were absolutely no windows, so it would look the same even during the brightest days.
Diana started cleaning the couches in silence. They were all in tacky, leather, forest green. She was disgusted. She couldn't wipe the obvious expression off of her face either. James started sweeping around her, making sure to knock her with the broom every five minutes. She just showed her animosity by shaking out the dust in his face. He coughed while hitting her in the ankle. No Slytherin seemed to care. It was late and the day had been a long one.
One by one each student began to leave and go to his or her dormitories. All who remained by 11:30 were Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. There was also another person there, a girl. She was a fifth year, like the rest of them, only she wasn't like them. She was different, and her head was buried in a book.
Lucius and Severus rejoiced in the fact that they were able to see James Potter cleaning up their mess like a servant. They snickered at him and laughed occasionally, but James was too tired and annoyed to care. They never bothered him, which annoyed them even more.
"Well look at little Potter, the maid. You know, we have an apron for you. One with cute little daisies on it, if you're interested. You'd look so pretty." Lucius remarked, thinking it was incredibly witty. Severus of course, laughed. The girl on the opposite couch rolled her eyes at them. She never did find them funny. Diana noticed this while she was cleaning and raised an eyebrow at her, noticeably.
When Diana finished the couches she looked around for something else to dust.
"Oh Renton, you can do the bathrooms, I don't mind." James remarked, sarcastically. She eyeballed him with obvious malice and put her hands on her hips.
" Anything to get away from you Potter. I thought I'd start with the Boys first. You all are the dirtiest pigs on the planet." She said as she walked into the bathroom. The girl on the couch smiled at her, much to her confusion, as she walked in. Lucius, in between insulting James, could not take his eyes off her. She was exotic and beautiful and oozed this certain sex appeal that he found scintillating. There was also the fact that she couldn't stand him, something he happened to find irresistible.
"Well, as much I would love to continue chatting with you Potter, I must get my beauty rest. Have fun with the filth, you have so much in common." He said, almost absentmindedly. Severus joined him. he proceeded upstairs while he noticed Lucius lagging behind by the bathroom.
"Will you c'mon." he said.
"Well I have to wash up first don't I?" he innocently asked. Severus, who wasn't really thinking left Lucius down there. James was on the other side, lost in thoughts of his own while Diana continued cleaning, not hearing anything.
Lucius walked into the bathroom to find Diana hovered over a sink, scrubbing it. She was still in high heels (they never did get to change into their uniforms), still in the skirt, and her hair was cascading wildly down her back. She wasn't' even paying attention to her surroundings. He just stood there, watching her.
She glanced in the mirror only once and caught his image on the other side. She gasped in surprise and swiftly turned around. He retained his cool, and calm demeanor.
"Well don't' stop on my account. It was really quite invigorating." He said calmly.
"What the hell do you want?" she asked, her hand over her chest.
"Nothing. I just enjoy watching you. You are fascinating to look at, did you know?"
"Go away." She said, turning back around and resuming her work. At this rate she was never going to be finished.
"Take today for instance. I couldn't take my eyes off you, well, neither could a lot of people."
"Shut the fuck up, can't you see that I'm trying to work." She said, frustrated.
He casually and slyly walked up to her, his arms still folded. She noticed and watched him do it through the mirror. Then he leaned against the first stall, about two feet away from her. He continued to stare.
"Do you want a bloody picture, Malfoy?" she spat.
"You're very sexy Renton." He simply said. Then she rolled her eyes and turned to face him.
"What do you want? You want me to suck it right here?" she sarcastically spat. This only provoked him.
"Oh, if only you were serious. But no, not tonight. I just came in here to tell you that I enjoy your presence, and that I look forward to seeing more of it, and more of you." He pauses; she just looks with her arms folded. "Well, goodnight Renton, and if you don't finish tonight, I would love to see you here tomorrow. Oh, and bring that lovely skirt." He said, walking out. She huffed and picked up the scrub brush. It was nearly midnight and the next day was the first day of classes.
She began walking out when she saw James talking to the blonde. She overheard part of their conversation.
"Narcissa, huh, that's quite a name." He said, kissing her hand. "You know I never thought a Slytherin could be as pretty as you." She, of course, blushed. Diana rolled her eyes in impatience and disgust. But this was certainly entertaining.
"Thank you." She spoke at last, half giggling. "You know I normally don't act like this. I don't know what's come over me." She put one hand on her cheek.
"Oh, it's alright. I get a little shy during this time of the night too." James said. Diana nearly gagged. "I don't know why I've never noticed you before, such a beauty should have never escaped my eyes, even if you are a Slytherin." God, Diana thought, now he's going to the bloody Slytherin sluts.
"Oh I've been here." She said. "and I've always noticed you."
"Well thank you. On the Quidditch field I expect." He said, leaning on his broom. Now he's bringing up his glory, Diana though. This could take awhile.
"Yes, and other places. We have had potions together, in fact I think we still do."
"Well that makes me happy. Now I have a reason to look forward to potions." He said, chuckling. She blushed again.
"Excuse me." Diana said, while clearing her throat. "This is making me quite nauseous Potter, are you quite finished? We do have class tomorrow and Dumbledore said we have to leave together. I am not about to wait any longer for you to get in your last minute quicky for the night." She said in her usual attitude. James glared at her and then turned to Narcissa.
"Terribly sorry my lovely but it appears that the troll here says I must go. Time does fly when one's having fun I suppose. Well I guess I will see you tomorrow. Don't go anywhere."
"I won't" she coyly replied. James' expression changed once again as he took his place next to Diana and left. He flashed her that winning smile before the door closed on them. They quietly put the supplies away until tomorrow, and then proceeded to the Gryffindor common room.
"Damn Potter, could you be any more disgustingly stereotypical? 'How could a beauty like yours have ever escaped my eyes?' You are nauseating." She said.
"Oh please Renton. It was no different then you little chat with Malfoy in the bathroom. Gosh he was in there for a long time. Did you polish his wand good enough for him?" he smugly asked. She ignored him because she was tired and angry. She also felt that this immaturity was getting a little old so she felt she must stop it now.
"Fuck you Potter." She said, as they went into the portrait. He added a simple, "you wish" before heading in the opposite direction. She walked briskly up to her room and shut the door. James did the same. What both of them noticed were when they entered they found their respective room mates were nowhere to be found.
(Next chapter: Sirius and Lily's detention. And thanks for all the awesome reviews, I am too lazy to thank you all right now and it is 3:20 in the morning and I'm about to pass out. But I do love all of you equally but in a purely platonic sense. Don't get any ideas. Oh yea, REVIEW!)

"Be quiet Miss Evans and let me handle this." Dumbledore said. "They most certainly did not deserve this Mr. Potter, and it is not for you to decide that either. You will not get away with that without severe punishment. I do not want any of this happening again." He said, pointing a finger at them. They nodded and put their heads down.
