Sirius and James headed down one of the lesser known staircases
toward the Great Hall to see about some jammy dodgers.
"Honestly mate, what exactly does this prank you're planning, entail?" James asked, trying desperately to get his messy hair to lie down flat.
"Well once I accomplish step 1, I will proceed to have a mad snogging session in the presence of as many slytherin's as possible." Sirius replied, grinning as usual.
"Oh, and how might I ask, are you going to manage that?" James inquired, seemingly interested in the idea.
"Quidditch of course! What would be more irritating to the prat gang than, Me, the brilliant, handsome, fantastic wizard, Sirius Black, snogging their leader's sister in front of the whole school, on a broom, mid air, after we clean their clocks and win the quidditch cup! Seeing as how she is our finest chaser. and I am our finest beater."
"You forgot modest." James teased.
"Well this will all only work out if you in fact catch the snitch instead of malfoy. You can handle that cant you?" Sirius teased back, raising his eyebrow .
"I must admit padfoot, that would be the greatest pay back of all, but I wouldn't be surprised if Drea blasted you off your broom for trying to pull such a stunt."
"Oh I can get away with it. believe me. I will have her heart in the palm of my hand before long." Sirius stated, now thoroughly pleased with himself.
"We're going to be legends." he added, more to himself than to James.
"Only if you don't get yourself torn to shreds first, I 'spect Malfoy will want to bludgeon you after all this.." James replied
"I'd like to see him try, not only will I turn him into the disgusting slug that he is, I highly doubt Drea would allow her brother to injure her beloved boyfriend."
"Right you are." James agreed as they finally reached the great hall. They spotted Remus and Drea sitting at the far end closest to the doors, talking quietly with each other.
"Lo' Remus, lo' Drea" James said sitting down next to the girl with the long auburn hair.
Sirius took a seat next to Remus, then began to fill up a plate with 20 or more sausages. Drea watched him intently, wondering what in Merlins beard he was doing. He looked up, realizing that there were at least 3 pairs of eyes on him and smiled sheepishly.
"Good morning... Sirius.." Drea said in an almost pleasant tone.
Sirius's eyes widened a bit as he stared at the witch in front of him. Bloody hell, she had called me by my first name.
"Remus, James, would you mind if I had a moment alone here with Sirius?" Drea asked kindly, staring at both the boys to her left.
"Er. well sure." James replied, standing up. Remus followed in suit as they looked around for somewhere else to sit. They spotted Kat alone at the end of Ravenclaw table, doing what looked like Arithmancy homework. Sitting down next to her, they began to talk chum like, leaving Sirius and Drea to their business. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Where is your other foul mate?" Kat asked jokingly, looking up from her parchment.
"I believe he just landed himself another girl" James replied triumphantly.
"The great Sirius Black has done it again.." Remus added in a less than pleased tone.
"Well don't you sound enthralled Rem.. Whats your problem? It's not like he's stealing your soul mate." Kat said, now laughing about the statement with James.
"That's funny, cause drea seems to be stealing yours." Remus replied sharply, now looking directly at kat.
"I have no idea what your talking about." Kat said, looking a bit hurt, but still keeping her wits about her.
"Oh stop tying to hide it. You have fancied him for 5 bloody years, ever since you laid eyes on the poor fellow. It's a pity, you may be the only other girl in Hogwarts he hasn't landed, then ripped her heart out. Poor you.." Remus said icily
"Remus. what has gotten into you?" James said in astonishment. This was so unlike Remus to be acting in such a rash hurtful way.
"How dare you!" Kat Shreiked, rising to her feet.
Remus simply watched her, a stone expression covering his face.
Hastily she ripped out her wand, then pointed straight between Remus's eyes.
James watched in shock, unable to move to come to his friend's aid. The whole Hall went silent, watching with every breath, waiting to see what would happen next.
Kat glared unfalteringly at the boy in front of her.
"Go ahead Remus. make one more comment.. I dare you." She breathed, her wand arm shaking slightly.
"Petrificus Totalus!" a voice resounded out of nowhere.
Suddenly Kat felt her legs snap together and her arms bind to her sides. She screamed as she tottered back and forth, then hit the floor with a rather nasty sounding clank.
"Who in the bloody hell!" She screamed, trying desperately to move, but to no avail.
Remus's head snapped around to see Drea on her feet, walking quickly towards them.
"I don't know what you said her her.. but you can be damned sure you better not say it again." Drea said in a low voice to remus.
"You bloody wench!!" Kat screamed again, staring at drea with the utmost spite faring in her eyes.
"Silencio." Drea said in a clear, even cut voice. Kats mouth still moved, but words ceased to come out her lips.
Once again Drea turned to Remus, who was now staring at kat with a pleased look of satisfaction upon his face.
"I would not be smiling if I were you. I know you must have said something you shouldn't have, and was most likely deserving what you were going to get." Drea said sternly, her eyes now locked with his.
"Then why did you stop her.?" Remus asked.
"Her spells tend to go awry when she is rather upset, as I have observed in class over the past 4 years. I wouldn't want to have to carry you up to the hospital wing in a matchbox."
"Ah.."
" She is a very talented witch, but when it comes to dueling, she lacks rationalism." Drea stated. "Now if you don't mind I think I will resume my chat with Sirius."
With that Drea turned on her heel and headed back over to a thoroughly impressed Sirius Black.
"That was Brilliant." He complimented her.
"Thanks." She replied, slightly smiling.
"Now... Remus tells me that I have misclassified you entirely."
"what are you saying Ms. Malfoy?" Sirius asked, trying to contain his smugness.
Drea picked at her plate for a moment, most likely trying to find the right words to tell him this, without completely making a prat of herself.
"You may call me Drea, and I believe I am agreeing to a date with Sirius Black." She replied, setting her fork down and looking at the handsome boy in front of her. The hall hummed with talk of recent events, all stealing glances at Drea and Sirius.
"Excellent, but now on a darker note, what are you going to do about our dear friend Ms. Bristow?" Sirius replied, his famous smile illuminating his face.
"Oh. Right." With a flick of her wand, drea restored kat back to full movement. Her arms sprang from her sides, and she found that her voice had been restored to her. She shot a nasty look at drea , before gathering up her belongings and bustling out of the hall.
"Honestly mate, what exactly does this prank you're planning, entail?" James asked, trying desperately to get his messy hair to lie down flat.
