Chapter 2: How Do You Keep James Potter From Getting Horny? You don't.
Sirius was lost in thought as he stared off during Potions.
Potions was just another boring class to Sirius Black. Professor Mashitty was just a bitch... who was just a 'shitty' teacher.
"BLACK!" Professor Mashitty yelled.
"Yea, Shitty-babe?" Sirius gave her his winning smile.
"Must you not listen in Potions?" Mashitty spat... her voice getting colder with every syllable she spoke.
"Dunno, must you be a 'shitty' teacher?" Sirius challenged... his voice dripping with venom.
"Don't get smart with me, Black! Twenty points from Gryffindor!"
The class laughed... all except James and Lily... the people he wanted to laugh the most... the ones that needed a laugh.
Suddenly, Lily raised her hand.
"Yes, Lily?" Mashitty asked... her voice suddenly calmer, almost sweet.
"You can't really blame Sirius for voicing his opinion on your teaching, can you? Yes, I understand you're the SLYTHERIN head of house, but... you're the one who said PERSONALLY that one must voice their opinions... am I right?"
"Yes, Lily, but..."
"Why did you take points from him, then?" Lily paused... letting the class laugh, including James. Lily had her own sense of humor. "Shouldn't you be AWARDING points? I mean, you just saying before you yelled at him that you'd award one hundred twenty points to Sirius if he listened to a word you said."
"Ms. Evans, there is a thing called figurative speech... I said FIGURATIVELY that I'd give Black one hundred twenty points if he listened to me...."
"My thought exactly... I'LL give him one hundred twenty points."
Mashitty muttered something about Lily not getting the significance of what she said and was about to back to teaching the class about sleeping potions, until the bell wrung, dismissing the class.
Sirius smirked as he left Potions.
"Padfoot?" James asked.
"Yea, Prongs?"
"What's so fucking cool to smile about?"
Sirius shook his head. "Lily awarding us one hundred twenty points in potions today."
James looked like he was about to cry.
"How many times did I tell you to NOT TO MENTION HER NAME!?" James yelled.
"Mate, I'm sorry..."
James nodded, "That's fine... actually, I'm the one who should be sorry."
"No, it was all me. I should have...."
"Oh, bloody hell, don't start it, you two!" Remus said loudly.
James and Sirius exchanged glances. "We're BOTH sorry," they laughed.
"Welcome back, mate." Remus held his hand out to James.
James sealed the handshake. "Nice to be home."
"Okay." Sirius remarked, "I don't mean to sound 'serious', but that was going a little too far!"
"Just a little." Remus agreed.
"I can't help that I'm a motherfucker!" James snarled.
"SORRY! Don't blow your head off!" Sirius chuckled.
"Okay... I guess.... Guess what?"
"What, Prongs?"
"We get to go to Charms!"
Remus and Sirius chuckled.... They knew the only reason he was looking forward to this was because Lily was teaching the class today for Flitwick.
The three took their seats in front of Flitwick's desk, and kept their most knee-weakening smirks on their faces.
"Hello, nice to see you three." Lily remarked.
"Nice to see you too, sexy." James said in a horny tone.
Lily held back a laugh, "Okay."
"What he means to say is... he's THRILLED to see that you're wearing your lowest cut offs with that halter top of yours." Sirius said offhandedly.
"What they BOTH mean to say is, James is horny." Remus said apologetically.
Lily leaned forward, her elbows resting on the table... "I know how to make you all horny." Lily smirked and directed the class.
Sirius muttered, "She just did."
Ylva walked over and sat next to Sirius.
"What, back so soon, babycakes?"
Ylva laughed. "No, Lily's making me keep you in line, babe."
"What d'you mean?"
"I mean, I'm supposed to make sure that you don't get yourself into anymore trouble than you did in Potions earlier."
Remus cut into the conversation. "You guys need to stop hitting on each other."
James chuckled. "Yea, that's always smart... if you know what I mean."
"Showing your affection,"
"Messes everything up."
"Especially when,"
"You find yourself writing her name down inside little hearts on your homework... that's due the next day. "
Sirius and Remus looked at James, a look of suspicion shared by both boys.
"Hey, I can't help that the girl I care for isn't carin' back'!"
"Sure, Prongs, sure." Sirius smiled.
The rest of the class was spent working on their essay on the Patronus Charm that they were also learning about in Defence Against the Dark Arts.
"This Divination sucks!" Sirius moaned to Lily and Remus, who he was assigned to sit with at a small table to work on their assignment that dealt with telling the future.
"Yes it does, but you don't need to say it loud enough for Lansert to hear you!" Lily snapped.
"We all know you and James...." Sirius paused.
"Don't EVER mention HIS name again!" Lily said dangerously. If Sirius wasn't mistaken, he saw a tear run down her cheek.
"Sirius... shut up... you've said enough." Remus said clamly.
Sirius nodded.
Yet again, the rest of the class period, was fought through in silence.... Sirius went over the top again.
Transfiguration was a came and gone period... then lunch came around.
"Sirius, how was it working with her?" James asked.
"Fine, I kinda pissed her off during Divination."
"What did you do?"
"I said your name."
James looked crestfallen suddenly.
"No, Prongs, I didn't mean it to come out like that.... She seems to really like you... you're lucky to have a girl like her really care about you." Sirius said quickly.
James made a sound that sounded like a cross between a laugh and a wimper. "If she really loves me... if she really cares, why do I feel hated by her?"
Lily was taking with her friends just a few people away... well, her more closer friends.
"So, Ylva, do you really like Sirius?"
"Um, maybe..." Ingrid kicked her sister in the shins. "No, I like Remus... I've never felt this way about anybody before.... Ingrid, do you like Remus?"
"Let's just say that I've never felt this way about him before.... Sure, I looked at him as a friend... damn, he's Lily's older brother, he's protected her all these years... of course I like him..... but I love Sirius."
Lily quickly changed the subject. "How was Divination with him?"
"Oh, Ja.... um, it was... it was fine. We mentioned you.... Fuck Lily, he loves you. You're so lucky to have a guy who loves you as much as he does. Sure, me and Ylva love Sirius and Remus, but we both kinda know that they probably don't like us at all. Lily, you're truly lucky." Ingrid said... almost on the verge of tears.
Lily just smiled... sure, a sad smile... but a smile.
A/N: The sparks are flying now, eh? Please R/R, I'll try to have the next chapter up in a day or two.
