A/N: at the end of the last post I've changed it to two weeks later instead
of one.
The month of April began cold and rainy, but by the end it had turned warm and sunny. Students began to sit outside more and quidditch games became more frequent. So far Gryffindor was in the lead but Slytherin was trailing close behind. The amount of homework had been reduced slightly over the Easter holidays, giving all the students a much needed break.
As forecast Snape left the hospital wing two days later, a week after the break had ended. He was so frightened of Auria that for the next week he would shrink away whenever she neared him. This delighted Auria and the Marauders, because now they could focus on pranks instead of hexing Snape.
On Wednesday night, a week and a half after Snape had been released from the hospital the Marauders pulled one of their best pranks. They charmed the staircases to stop moving for an hour at a time, stranding teachers and students alike. Several classes were canceled over the next three days, until the teachers finally managed to break the spell. The day that prank ended they pulled another one.

"James where did you go?" Auria whispered Saturday night from beneath her invisibility cloak.
"Over here, by this suit of armor" replied a voice farther down the hall.
Auria and Sirius were sharing her cloak while Peter and Remus were sharing James'.
"Ok, you take this hall and we'll take the next" Sirius replied.
"Are you sure this is a good idea" Peter called loudly.
There was a definitive smack from beneath James' cloak.
"Shut up Peter or else the teachers will hear us. And yes, this is a good idea" James replied haughtily.
"Meet you back in the common room then" Auria called over.
"Good luck" Remus replied.
Auria and Sirius quietly crept down towards the four floor corridor. They stopped in front of one of the suits of armor. Auria pulled out her wand, pointed it at the armor and whispered, "of plate and steel when you hear the word homework jump and reel."
The suit of armor remained completely motionless.
"Do you think it worked?" Auria asked turning to Sirius.
"I think so, but now is not exactly a good time to find out" he replied.
They quickly enchanted all the other suits of armor on the fourth, fifth, six and seventh floors.
"There done" Auria replied proudly, pocketing her wand.
"You know" Sirius said slowly, glancing at his watch. "We still have fifteen minutes before we're supposed to meet back in the common room."
To make his intentions clear he bent down and kissed Auria lightly on the neck. Every thing had returned to normal between them since having made up a few nights ago.
"I'm going to take a stab in the dark here, and assume that this is how you want to spend our free fifteen minutes" she replied in a sarcastic but playful tone.
Sirius grinned and nodded.
"Fine" Auria sighed, looking bored.
"Oh, If you don't want to then-" Sirius began looking worried.
"Oh no, I do" she said calmly. "Maybe I just want to do it somewhere else."
She raised her eyebrows seductively.
Sirius eyes widened. "Well where did you have in mind?" he asked excitedly.
Auria silently took his hand and led him down the hallway into a classroom. Before Sirius could respond she walked him over to the large chestnut desk at the front of the room. Confused Sirius looked around and then grinned.
"In the history of magic room?" he asked still slightly unsure.
"Yup" Auria replied sitting down on the desk. "Just thinking about this room makes me bored, so I thought we could spice it up a little. Next time we have class and I see this desk we'll be thinking of each other instead of when the next test is."
"Brilliant" Sirius said placing one hand on either side of her.
He moved in slowly to kiss her but she kept moving her head farther away. Finally Auria was so far away that she was lying full out on the desk, and Sirius was forced to climb up and lean down on top of her. Sirius sighed with delight and before he could bend down Auria lifted her head and kissed him on the lips.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Sirius, Sirius, we're going to be late" Auria whispered fifteen minutes later.
"I'd rather be late then stop kissing you" he said bending down again.
He loved the feeling of her warm body beneath his, of her hands running through his hair.
"But, they're going, to come and look for us and they might get cau-" Auria suddenly fell silent and twisted her head towards the door.
"Did you hear that?" she whispered very quietly.
Sirius turned his head and listened. Footsteps could be heard coming down the hall towards them. Suddenly the door opened and Professor Verge walked in carrying a lantern. Auria and Sirius, still hidden beneath the cloak, held their breath.
Verge walked around the room holding the lantern up high for better light.
"What's wrong Professor?" asked Professor McGonagall, entering the room.
Auria's eyes widened as she glanced at Sirius.
"I thought I heard noises and voices coming from this room" he replied angrily.
"It was probably just one of the ghosts" McGonagall said casually, but none the less still looking around.
Sirius' arms began to shake from holding himself up so long. He looked down nervously at Auria. She simply rolled her eyes, shook her head and motioned for him to lie down on top of her. Sirius slowly lowered himself onto her, until they were forced to look into each other's eyes.
"I don't think so" Professor Verge said moving dangerously close to the desk. "I think it's those Gryffindor boys and one of their evil girlfriends out pulling a prank."
Auria had to hold on to Sirius arms with all her strength to prevent him from attacking Verge. Finally, stopping inches from their bodies, Verge and McGonagall decided that there was no one in the room and left, locking the door with a spell behind them.
As soon as they were gone Auria and Sirius both sighed with relief. Sirius looked at her and was surprise to find Auria grinned just as wide as he was. He kissed her one last time before sitting up and helping her off the desk. Sirius was about to unlock the door when she stopped him.
"I only heard one pair of footsteps walking away" she whispered as quietly as she could. "I bet Verge is hiding outside the door. We're going to have to take another way back.
Sirius nodded and looked around the room for an exit.
"Keep the cloak on the whole time" Auria suddenly whispered to him.
With out another word she changed into a phoenix and allowed Sirius to gently grab hold of her tail. A moment later they apparated onto Sirius' bed. Going downstairs they found the other Marauders already waiting, each throwing them suspicious looks. Sirius and Auria simply shrugged and began to talk about the coming day.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Their prank threw the school into a state of mayhem. The students soon discovered that if they said the word homework near a suit of armor it would begin to dance and wobble uncontrollably around the school. Although the students found this entertaining the teachers did not, and spent the better part of the day trying to stop them from decapitating anyone with their axe.
That afternoon Auria was walking with her best friend Alexia, through an armor free hall, listening to her talk about her new boyfriend Justin.
"He's so sweet and cute" Alexia gushed.
"That's great" Auria said brightly. "I'm so happy for you."
Auria reached over and wrapped Alexia up in a sideways hug. Suddenly, without warning a jet of red light zoomed through the air and hit Auria square in the back. She fell to the floor screaming in pain.
Just as the spell hit her Sirius appeared around the corner.
"Are you alright?" he asked rushing over to her.
"Aaaahhhhh, it burns, make it stop, make it stop" Auria screamed her eyes beginning to water.
Sirius looked around for her attacker and spotted Snape peeking around the corner, his wand still held out. He got up, leaving Auria to Alexia, and rushed towards Snape. Before Snape had a chance to run Sirius grabbed him and threw him against the wall.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" he yelled at him.
"Nothing" Snape replied nervously.
"You hexed her, I saw you hex her!" Sirius cried slamming him into the other wall. He then dragged the struggling Snape to the middle of the hall.
"HEAL HER" he screamed.
"I-I can't" Snape replied in a whisper.
"What do you mean you can't?" Sirius asked menacingly.
"It can't be reversed by a spell" he replied defiantly, a small grin creeping onto his lips.
Sirius took one look at his screaming girlfriend and then punched Snape as hard as he could in the nose. There was a loud crack as it broke and Snape went flying into the wall. Snape raised his wand and yelled "Searus." A large gash appear on Sirius' chest, but he didn't seem to care. Sirius was too enraged at the moment to feel pain. He swept over, not even bothering to pull out his own wand and punched Snape again. Sirius grabbed the other boy's wand and threw it out the window. A large crowd formed and began cheering him on.
"You filthy little bastard. Don't you think you've already caused her enough grief?" Sirius yelled throwing him to the floor.
"I didn't mean to hit her" Snape said, slowly getting to his knees. His face was covered in blood and two black eyes were already forming. He looked around for pity but only found the cold angry faces of the other Marauders glaring back at him.
"Oh, then who did you mean to hit?" Sirius said sarcastically, and then without waiting for a response added, "It doesn't matter WHO you meant to hit, the point is that you hit HER."
Sirius pointed to Auria who was now on her feet but still crouched over in pain. Snaped glanced at her and then as he looked back at Sirius received a shoe in the mouth. With a yelp of pain he went flying across the smooth floor, holding his bloodied mouth.
"Don't you ever hurt her again" Sirius screamed, lifting Snape to his feet and punching him in the stomach. At that moment Auria knelt down and threw up from the pain.
After a few more hard punches Sirius reached into Snape's bag, pulled out an ink bottle and smashed it over his head. The bottle broke into a thousand pieces, cutting Snape's head, while the ink went rushing down his face.
Just at that moment Professor Verge, McGonagall, Canin and Dumbledore appeared around the corner.
"Let go of him!" cried Verge, his eyes buldging in shock.
Sirius glared at him, shrugged and let go of Snape, who fell to the floor unconscious.
"Mr. Black, you are in so much trouble" Professor Canin began.
"Fine" Sirius said coldly. "But you can punish me later, right now I'm going to be with my girlfriend."
He stomped off down the hall towards the hospital wing. The crowd parted to let him pass, several bravely clapping him on the back in congratulations. Sirius clenched his bleeding fists and promised himself that this would be the last time Snape ever hurt Auria. A moment later he broke into a run, dashing towards the hospital wing sick with worry.
