Chapter 2: Boyfriends/Girlfriends=Trouble
Sesha and Riley
"So...What took you so long to get here?" Sesha asked Riley when she finally showed up in the common room.
"Oh, I saw Snape, and didn't want to go anywhere near him, so I tried to find a shortcut, but ended up getting lost." Riley explained.
"Oh, and it took you two hours to find your way back? That doesn't seem reasonable." Sesha said with a hint of amusement to her voice.
"Well, someone helped me, and we kind of talked for a long time." Riley blushed.
"And this someone was..." Sesha urged her forward.
"It was Sirius Black." Riley blushed harder.
"Oooooh! He's a cutie. What did you guys talk about?" Sesha said, getting that girly voice when something exciting happens. A squeal you might say.
"I don't remember. We talked about a lot of stuff. And then he...he..." Riley couldn't continue. She had the biggest smile on her face and was blushing so red, you would think she was sun burned.
"Did he kiss you? Come on tell me." Sesha was way too excited for Riley. She couldn't wait for the rest of it.
"Well, yea, but just a peck on the cheek. And he asked me to be his girlfriend." At that very moment Snape came over. The two girls didn't notice.
"Why, hello you two. Riley I noticed you only got in here ten minutes ago. You got lost didn't you?" Snape said in a told-you-so voice.
"That would be your business, because why?" Sesha asked, hoping he would leave soon.
"Because I offered to help, and you turned it down." Snape said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well, for your information, I didn't get lost, I was talking to some friends" Riley said, getting mad.
"And who were you talking too?" Snape asked a bit mad that it wasn't him.
"Sirius Black." This was more than Snape could bear, he exploded.
"What do you mean you were talking with Sirius Black? Don't you know he's a Gryffindor? Slytherin's and Gryffindor's do not go together. Especially not that one. He's a menace to society! He has no sense of respect!" Snape let it all go.
"That's just because he's makes a fool of you every other day, and you don't have the brains to do anything back!" Riley was standing up, inches from Snape's face. Yelling at his face, showing no mercy.
"I could get him back anytime. I just happen to have decency, to not get in trouble!" Snape spat back.
"The decency to not get in trouble? What kind of a sentence is that?" Sesha had joined in the argument.
"You know what I mean, don't try to be smart!" Snape told her.
"No, I don't know, please tell me." Riley said sarcastically.
"I don't have to answer to you! I don't have to answer any of your questions!" Snape started to back away.
"Then how come did you come talk to us?" Riley yelled to his back. He didn't answer.
The next day at breakfast the schedules were passed out. Lily and Sirius quickly looked at theirs to see what classes they had with the Slytherin's. It was Defense against the Dark Arts. That class wasn't until after lunch. Sirius couldn't wait that long. Even though there were only five minutes until class, he went to go find Riley. He found her with Snape.
Sirius couldn't believe it! Riley was up against a wall, and Sirius had his hand over her shoulder and on the wall. Riley didn't seem to be doing anything to stop him. Sirius marched up to Snape, grabbed him by the shoulder, flung him so that Snape's back was up against the wall, and then turned to Riley.
"I'll deal with you in a minute!" Riley started tearing up, but Sirius didn't notice.
"What the heck are you doing with her? She's mine you back off!"
"Calm down Black. I wasn't going to do anything..."Snape started.
"Like heck you weren't. I don't think she wants you to be within a mile radius of her, so you better just back off!" Sirius was yelling his head off not caring if anyone heard. Quite a crowd was gathering. Riley was bawling and Sesha was right there next to her. James was in the crowd, cheering him on, Peter was hanging back, and Remus was ready to break up any fight that might start.
"Look, I was just seeing if she needed help getting to our first class." Snape explained.
"I don't believe that. Helping someone get to a class involves walking, not having her pushed up against a wall!" Sirius said. He was clenching and unclenching his fists.
"Look, I'll be sure to stay away, but she is in my hou..."Snape was again interrupted.
"I don't care if she's your sister! She doesn't want to be around anyone that doesn't wash their hair, and definitely doesn't want to be near you! I believe I've already said that. So you better come clean with me now, or I just might have to serve months detention for killing you."
Snape was shaking with fear. Remus had stepped forward, knowing that whatever Snape's answer, Sirius wasn't going to like it. James had also gotten the hint, and stepped forward.
"O.k. fine. I'll tell you. I saw her walking around, all innocent looking and lost. And the next thing I knew I was leaning in to kiss her. I'm sure she would have tried to stop me, but it all happened so fast, I don't think she had time."
Remus and James were too late. Sirius had already punched his nose. They heard a crack, it had broken. Just then Professor Dumbledore walked in. Sirius still knew nothing of what was going on around him. But felt two hands grab his arms. James and Remus were pulling him away from Snape, before he got into any big trouble.
Dumbledore seemed to have guessed what had happened, and snuck into the nearest classroom so he could say he didn't see anything, and therefore couldn't punish anyone. Snape ran and Sirius turned to Riley, she was still crying really hard. Sirius wasn't mad anymore. He got all soft, and gently pulled Riley away from the wall. He took her to her next class, and told her he'd talk to her later. He didn't know that after he went to his class she snuck to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Snape's breath had made her feel like hers was disgusting too.
