The next day the Marauder's decided to play an end of year prank. After
setting up the trap they walked, smirking, into the Great Hall for
breakfast. Just as they had finished eating a loud BANG filled the entrance
hall, followed by a scream. The four ran along with everybody else to see
what had happened. A boy was kneeling on the floor right next to the great
oak doors covered in what looked like gooey wet cement. A bucket swung from
the ceiling prepared to tip on the next unlucky person to walk out the
doors. As the boy tried to get up it become obvious that whenever he moved
the stuff hardened. The boy lifted his head when Professor Flitwick slid
over to him and to the great joy of the four friends they saw that the boy
was none other then Severus Snape.
"Looks like you've gotten yourself into a slightly sticky position there Snivellus" cried Sirius.
The whole crowd gathered around Snape began to laugh.
"Don't move to quickly or you might pull a muscle" yelled James, making the crowd laugh even harder. But as Sirius looked around he spotted Auria, and he found that she didn't look too amused. After that he let the others taunt Snape while Sirius remained silent. However he couldn't help himself from laughing at their jokes. Half an hour later the teachers managed to remove Snape from the goo and sent him up to the hospital wing. * * * *
That after noon as James, Peter, Sirius and Remus were coming back into the castle after a game of Quidditch Sirius noticed Auria speaking quietly to goo-less Snape in a corner. The conversation ended just before the Marauder's reached them and Auria began walking down the hall in front of them.
"Hey there" called Sirius.
Auria turned around. "Hi" she replied shyly as he caught up to her.
"Why were you talking to Snivellus?" he asked in a slightly accusing tone.
"Because I wanted to," she replied hotly. "Why? Do you have a problem talking to him?"
"Um, no" he lied. "I was just curious to know what you two were whispering about so secretly."
"Nosy" she said grinning. "Well if you must know" and at this she bowed her head. "he asked me to go on a date with him over the summer."
Sirius stopped so quickly that Auria walked right by him. "WHAT?" he exclaimed feeling his stomach sink to the floor. "How on earth can you go out with a thing like that?"
"Look, I can date who ever I want. I don't want."
"No, I didn't mean it that way" he said quickly pulling her into an empty classroom. "I mean he's really interested in the Dark Arts. He's a death eater and probably goes to meetings with You-Know-Who outside of school. I don't want you going out with him, he's dangerous and."
"Just because you and your friends hate him doesn't mean everybody else does. If I want to go out with him then its my own choice," she spat back.
"No, no. I'm serious. Snivellus, I mean Severus is a very creep dark guy" he said, now with a sense of urgency in his voice. However, Auria was so angry she didn't seem to notice.
"The four of you are so mean, trying to deprive him of even a simple date. You are such an arrogant big-headed git," and with that she stormed out of the room looking back only to add sarcastically. "Have a great summer, hopefully the heat will shrink your head."
Sirius stood alone in the room for five minutes before leaving. He slammed the door so hard on his way out that glass shattered, which he decided not to fix. "She's so stupid," he thought. "I really am trying to protect her." But then he wondered if that was true, or if he was just incredibly jealous of Snape for asking her out before he did. As he stormed off towards the common room he was still so furious that he hexed everyone he met on his way.
He spent the rest of the evening playing wizard's chess or cards with his friends. Sirius had so much fun enjoying his last night at Hogwarts that by the time he went to bed he had forgotten all about his argument with Auria.
* * * *
The next morning he got up early to pack all of his things into the big chest at the foot of his bed. Every time he saw Auria that day she was glaring at him, at breakfast, waiting for the carriages, on the train, and even in the station. She refused to talk to him or even make eye contact, and was still clearly mad about their row.
"What the hell did you say to her?" asked Lupin as the lunch trolley left their compartment on the train.
"I told her not to go out with Snape" muttered Sirius.
"SHE'S GOING OUT WITH SNAPE!" exclaimed Petigrew.
Sirius nodded keeping his head down and his fists clenched.
"Ah, I'm sorry mate. Wow that is really awful luck" said James patting him on the back. Then he continued to mutter to himself. "Wow, Snivellus. I never thought that would happen, and she's pretty good looking to. I wonder how he did it?"
Sirius didn't say much for the rest of the train ride, even though his friends tried to cheer him up by hexing every Slytherin that walked by their compartment. However, it did not seem to work, and he could not stop thinking how awful it was going to be having her mad at him all summer. He could not even write a letter to her now, or warn her about the dangers of living in Edinborough.
As he reached the platform he heard a familiar voice calling him. He looked up to find his mother waving to him, dressed in the most hideous robes he had ever seen.
"It's about time I got you away from those freakish friends of yours" she hissed. Sirius did not respond. The last person he saw before he walked through the wall into the muggle world was Snape, giving him the most victorious looking grin.
