Chapter 11
Detention with Sirius and Being on Your Guard
If you ever get the chance to go to detention with Sirius, take it. During our detention with McGonagall was quiet, but hilarious. When Sirius and I arrived at McGonagall's office, she didn't even take a glance at us.
"Please sit down on the opposite side of the room from each other. There will be no talking."
Sirius' first thought (knowing because I'm telepathic) was "This is detention? I've heard harsher! ". I looked at him and smiled. At first he looked confused, but remembered about me being telepathic. For the rest of the detention, Sirius and I sat in silence but had fun making faces at each other.
An hour had past and McGonagall had not suspected a thing. After we left her office, smug with ourselves and out of earshot, we started laughing.
"I can't believe she never looked up at us!" Sirius choked trying to hold back his laughter, but was unsuccessful.
"She was thinking about how the Quidditch game Gryffindor vs. Slytherin is going to go in a couple of weeks!" I laughed.
"Too bad we're not allowed to play for the team." Sirius said as tears ran down his cheeks.
"Yeah." I replied as we reached the portrait of the Fat Lady, but she was gone. We stood there on the spot for a couple of second, staring blankly at the empty portrait frame.
"What the hell are we gong to do now?" Sirius half yelled, half asked.
"Let's just hope my telepathic skills can go through walls and portrait frames." I whispered to myself, but Sirius heard me.
"Who's mind are you going into?" Sirius asked.
"You choose." I replied.
"Well what are you going to ask the person?" Sirius asked, looking at me suspiciously.
"I'm not going to ask, I'm going to tell them to open the door." I smiled evilly, "Or maybe even nag them until they open it." I added.
Sirius smiled, "James!" we both agreed.
I closed my eyes, not knowing how much concentration this would take, concentrated on James, and kept thinking "Open the bloody door James!" I thought of this for at least two minutes, then the portrait door creaked open and James' head popped out.
"What do you want?" James asked.
"I want in, please." I said politely, "And about now, not in the next ten thousand years!" I added.
"This way your majesty." James said sarcastically while bowing at the same time.
I ran over to the girls to tell them about my detention, leaving Sirius and James behind me. For some reason I had this felling that they were making faces at me, behind my back.
"How as detention?" Chloe asked, not even looking up from her Astronomy homework that was due the next day.
"Quiet... but hilarious." I replied, collapsing in a chair next to Jenny.
"How?" Lily looked at me confused.
"Well..." but my voice trailed off because Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter were huddled in a group by the common room fireplace.
"What?" Jenny asked now turning her attention from her Potions homework, to the boys too.
"They're planning something." I said simply but I still didn't know what they were planning.
"How do you know?" Lily asked.
"I've known James since I was born and Sirius since we were two years old." I told them, still looking at the boys, "I think I know when they're planning a prank of trick."
"So now James and Sirius are teaching Peter and Remus they're ways!" Chloe concluded.
"Exactly!" I murmured to myself.
"So what are you going to do?" Jenny asked after a few minutes.
"Me?" I asked confused.
"Yeah!" Lily said. "You know James and Sirius better that any of us."
"And you have a reason to check up on James." Chloe reminded me, "Permission from your mom!" she added. I looked at them in a crazed way and finally gave up.
"Fine!" I gave up.
"Why me?" I asked myself, "Why me?"
I walked over to my brother and his friends, who now stopped talking and stared at me while I walked over towards them.
"Whatch ya doing?" I asked innocently sitting down beside James.
"Nothing." James replied, mocking my innocence.
"Okay." I said simply.
James eyed me while Sirius looked at me shocked.
"Okay?" Sirius repeated.
I nodded. You see, normally I would want to know what they were up to, but today I still did and they need not know.
"What do you want?" James asked, now looking at the girls behind me.
"Nothing." I replied.
All four boys stared at me with the feeling that either I lost my mind or I was trying to find out what they really were up to.
"Really!" I reassured them.
James looked away from Lily, Chloe, and Jenny who were glaring back at him. He looked at me, as if trying to see through my eyes and to my lie. Then he looked at Sirius. Sirius nodded. It was an s if it was a secret but with me being telepathic, it was no longer a secret, like my detention.
"You're going to prank Snape." I said mildly as James had just opened his mouth proudly.
"How did you know?" James asked, more than surprised.
"She's telepathic, remember?" Sirius said, as the smart alek he thought that he was. James looked so disappointed now that his (and Sirius, Peter, and Remus') plan was found out by his younger sister.
"Carry on." I said interested.
"Well, to tell you the truth, we didn't get to far in our plan." Remus confessed meekly.
"What happened to our tactics?" I asked looking back and forth from James to Sirius.
"What "tactics"?" Sirius asked.
"Okay, well there really is only one tactic." I confessed. "The one was to use my actions for ideas." I reminded them.
They still didn't remember, so I stood up and said that I was going to turn in early and said goodnight. Walking away from the boys was hard to do because I didn't want them to fail with their first prank. But on the other hand, walking over to the girls was easier because I could tell them that they were not in the way of a prank.
