Disclaimer: I own nothing…
A/N: Well, thank you for all the reviews! Don't worry, I'll be updating The Line… soon… I promise! Lol! BTW, this chapter isn't meant to offend anyone… Anywho, here's the next chapter, hope you enjoy it…
"Sirius," Andromeda muttered out of the corner of her lips as she looked frantically at the fireplace and occasionally glanced down at her watch.
Sirius looked up at her and shrugged as his mum and aunt gossiped about some pureblooded family whose youngest son had just married a 'mudblood'. They were going to love James…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bev," James said in his most reasoning voice as he tried his best not to sound panicked. "Could you please tell me where the floo powder is?"
"Right there," Bev said as she gestured towards the fireplace with one hand and then went back to reading the paper—smirking slightly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sirius looked anxiously from his watch to the fireplace to his cousin and back again. James was officially late. Late enough to make Sirius think he had misunderstood and wasn't coming. He had written the request in terms a complete prat could understand, but James did get confused very easily. And to think, people always thought James was the smarter one. Preposterous.
"Look!" Sirius suddenly called out suddenly, interrupting his mum and aunt's gossiping, gesturing towards the window.
Sirius' mother and aunt stopped talking abruptly and looked, instead of out the window, to him as though he had just suggested that they go out and befriend muggles. Or atleast his aunt and Narcissa looked at him as though he were insane. Bellatrix and Regulus smirked knowingly. His mum simply glared daggers at him.
"It's a bird," Sirius added dejectedly as he once again gestured towards the window.
After once again looking at him like he were insane, his mum, aunt, two cousins, and brother looked out the window apprehensively.
Andromeda looked at him questioningly as he began searching frantically through his pockets for his friend's letter.
Sparkly yoyo from earlier in the year that was now charmed to shout out profanities whenever used… No… Purple candy wrappers… No… Half eaten chocolate frog… No… Silver earring… No… Letter from James… Jackpot!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bev," James began again, trying to sound reasonable, "This isn't anywhere near amusing. I really need to go," James said as he glanced at his watch anxiously. He was due at the 'Noble House of Black' five minutes ago.
"I find it damn amusing," Bev said in a bored tone without looking up at him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't see a bird," Sirius' aunt said in a tone that suggested Sirius had gone over the edge as the family looked out the window all with the same confused expression on their faces.
"Sirius had been having some problems lately," Bellatrix said quietly, obviously assuming that Sirius couldn't hear her.
He chose to ignore it as he was trying to read his letter again.
According to the letter, James was coming.
"Sirius," His mother said in a disproving tone as the rest of his family looked at him apprehensively.
"Mum," Sirius said absently as he quickly shoved his letter back into his pocket, hoping that she wouldn't see it. He didn't want his cover to be blown after all the trouble he went through, what with having to burn all of Andromeda's notes and having to clear the board of stick figures…
"Why do you have a silver earring in your pocket?" Sirius' mum asked sharply.
Sirius looked down at the contents of his pockets that were now spread out on the table before him.
"No reason," Sirius said casually.
"Sirius, do you have a girlfriend?" His mum asked in a slightly panicked tone.
The rest of his family looked at him in disgust.
Sirius looked back at them in wonder. They had always hated him, but what was with the sudden coldness?
"No," Bellatrix answered before he had a chance to answer. "He's too busy hanging around with that Potter kid."
Regulus burst into tears.
Sirius glared at her.
The rest of his family family—all except for Andromeda—got disgusted looks on their face.
"Sirius," His mother began again. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
Sirius glared at her. He knew where the earring was from and that was good enough for him.
"And what did you just shove into your pocket?" His mum continued to question him.
"A letter," Sirius grunted.
"From?" Bellatrix inquired with a smirk on her face.
"James," Sirius said as he rolled his eyes.
"Let me see the letter," Mrs. Black demanded.
"No," Sirius said, not wanting his big prank to be blown. Why was his mum suddenly so concerned with the contents of his pocket?
"Accio letter," Sirius' mother muttered as she pointed her wand at his pocket.
Sirius didn't even bother to grab at the letter as it flew out of his pocket and into his mother's waiting hands. He just sat one the couch with his arms crossed over his chest as he glared at the rest of his family who glared right back at him.
"Confused? Work his magic?" Sirius' mother gasped as she read his letter with a vein pulsing in her head.
"Now, now, it's not your fault," Sirius' aunt told his mother in a soothing tone.
Regulus continued to sob as Bellatrix and Narcissa attempted to comfort him.
Sirius and Andromeda looked at each other in confusion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bev, give me the floo powder," James said as he stood, staring at her with his hands on his hips.
After much argument, Bev had eventually shown him exactly where the floo powder jar was on the mantle.
She had then, instead of handing it to him, yanked out her wand and charmed the jar.
It was now floating at the top of the Labeau family's very high ceiling.
"Go get it yourself," Bev said in a bored tone.
"I hardly think that this is a mature way for you to be acting," James said in a disproving tone.
"Because it isn't?" Bev asked with a smirk as she leaned back in the couch and crossed her arms over her chest, looking at him in a patronizing tone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sirius, are you gay?" Sirius' mum asked after she folded up the letter and placed it on the table before him.
His whole family looked at him expectantly.
Regulus sobbed loudly.
"What?" Sirius asked, completely bewildered. Sirius was a lot of things. Gay was certainly not one of them though.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't look at me in that tone of voice," James threatened as she continued to stare at him.
"That makes absolutely no sense at all," Bev said in a knowing voice.
"Yes it does, I said that—Wait a minute" James began knowingly before stopping suddenly, remembering that he was supposed to be making Bev take down the floo powder jar from where it was currently residing at the top of the room. "Now Bev, please take down the floo powder. I'm late." James pleaded.
"That's really very touching. Get it yourself," Bev said with a tone of finality in her voice.
"Fine," James said, pulling his wand out of his back pocket. "Accio jar."
The jar flew into James hand and, with one last glare at Bev who simply stared back at him with a bored expression on her face, James threw the powder into the fire and called out the name of the Black house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello all," James said as he stepped out of Sirius' fireplace to find Sirius and Andromeda looking at his family completely bewildered, Regulus sobbing uncontrollably as Narcissa—Narcissist as James and Sirius called her—and Bellatrix comforting him, and Sirius' mum and Aunt looking horrorstricken.
"What in Merlin's name are you talking about?" Sirius asked again, completely and totally outraged.
"Hello all," James said again, a bit louder.
Everyone ignored him.
"Tell me the truth," Mrs. Black demanded.
"Of course I'm not—" Sirius began.
James Potter had not spent that long looking for floo powder and worried this much to be ignored by Sirius. He was promised a big prank and Merlin-darnit, he would get one!
What James did next may have been what got Sirius permanently kicked out of the 'Noble House of Black.'
James walked from where he was standing in front of the fireplace to the couch that Sirius was sitting on and sat—yes sat—in Sirius' lap, looking at him while pouting.
"You!" Sirius' mum shrieked at James.
"Me? Padfoot, what's going on?" James asked in confusion as he looked from Sirius and back to Mrs. Black. He had just gotten here. Surely he couldn't have done anything wrong already. If he did, this would definitely be a new record for him…
"You even have pet-names for each other! I want you two out of my house! Now!" Mrs. Black screamed before summoning Sirius' suitcases which hit James and Sirius in the stomach.
"This is a lousy welcoming," James muttered into Sirius' ear.
"I won't have any of this! Not in my house! Now get out!" Mrs. Black screamed as she pulled James and Sirius by the arm to through the house and to the front corridor.
When they got to the front door, she promptly opened it up, pushed the two teenagers out, and locked it behind them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Have you seen my silver earring?" Ava asked as she, Lily, and Anna lay in their bedroom, looking through magazines.
"Nope," Lily said lazily as she flipped to the next page of some boring teenage magazine about getting 'perfect skin'.
"How about you?" Ava asked Anna.
"Nope," Anna said absently as she rolled onto her belly.
"I hope it's at school," Ava said as she tried to remember where she had left her lucky silver hoop.
"I'm sure it'll turn up," Lily assured her absently.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your mum is a charming woman," James said as he stood up and brushed the dead grass off of his clothes. James was usually not too good at knowing when he had done something wrong, but he was pretty sure he hadn't done anything this time.
"Nice going," Sirius said as he glared at James. He had thought he had constructed a foolproof plan that James couldn't possibly mess up. And then James went above and beyond anyone's expectations and screwed up that plan too.
"Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure I did absolutely nothing wrong," James said defensively.
"What are we going to do now?" Sirius asked more himself that James.
"Stick out your wand and flag down the knightbus," James said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.
--Well, there it is! I hope you enjoyed it! I really didn't mean to offend anyone, just show exactly how crazy Sirius' mum actually is. Cookies to anyone who can guess why Sirius had Ava's earring. More cookies to anyone who can guess why Bev is important. Even more cookies to anyone who can guess why no one will let James see the paper. Oh, by the way, do you guys think Bev is too much like her sister? Well, as I'm not too sure if this chapter is funny or not, could you please be a doll and review it? I'd greatly appreciate it! I'm hoping for 123, so if you liked it, REVIEW!--
