Oh. My. God. Twenty nine reviews. TWENTY NINE! Even if all the really good fics I've read get hundreds, twenty nine is a lot to me! Thanks! Now, I'm off to NYC tomorrow, and I get back on the thirtieth. I shall have a good chapter all set to post by then, I'm sure. In the meantime, y'all will just have to settle with Robin Agneau's first, other than James, date offer. Or date offers. Hmm….
CHAPTER ELEVEN
"Here we go," James whispered as he strolled confidently into the common room with Sirius Black – Robin Agneau on his arm. As they neared the center of the room, dozens of tiny red dots appeared on Sirius-Robin's face, chest, legs, and bum. That is, assuming that the males in the common room had laser beams on their eyes. Which they didn't, so never mind. Ignore all that. authoress slaps herself and yells "FOCUS!"
James climbed onto the table and stood up. He cleared his throat as if he wanted to make an announcement. No one paid him any attention; they were far too busy staring at Sirius-Robin. He cleared his throat louder. This gained him the attention of his loyal fan club, but not the attention of the boys, which he needed.
"FARRAH FAWCETT IS ON THE COVER OF THE NEW PLAYBOY MAGAZINE!"
There were several audible cracks as every boy's head snapped around to look at James. Many of them were rubbing their necks from whiplash.
"Right," said James. "Er – I don't really know if Farrah's on the cover or not -" the crowd grumbled irritably – "- but my friend here is thinking about attending Hogwarts next year and I just wanted to introduce her to everyone!"
He paused to gauge the mob's mood, and seeing that the Playboy gag wasn't enough to get himself tarred and feathered, he continued. "Yeah. Okay. So this here is my childhood playmate Robin Agbow -"
"AgNEAU!"
"Whatever. Where was I? Oh yes, Robin and I go way back. I remember we used to play in the sandbox together. She would build palaces for her Barbies and I would build forts for my G.I. Joes. I remember this one time, she kicked my fort down, and I got her back by chopping all of her Barbies' hair off. Oh, it was a wonderful friendship, full of laughter and tears, achievements and fail -"
Sirius-Robin, who was by this time on the table with James, ground his-her heel squarely on James' toe.
"OW – I mean, but that lovely camaraderie was cut short by her father's job transfer to America. Well do I remember the tears I shed on that fateful moving day! Only four years old, and to already suffer such a loss! I wept for days on end, and nothing could console me. Not my mother, my father, not TV, not even the hot seven year old girl that lived up the str -"
"Anyway," said Sirius-Robin, cutting James off. "I've been attending school in Salem, but I'm thinking about coming here next year, so I'm here today to check things out." He-she added a sexy half-laugh for good measure.
"So everyone please show her a good time!" said James. "A really good time. A really good time."
And crap now my mom's making me go pack and I'm not going to be able to finish this until I get back oh well I AM POSTING IT DAMMIT!
