Veronica regained her composure quickly.
"So if I give this 'compensation' then I will perpetually ditch one of my many obsessed lovers/stalkers?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Severus nodded.
"Right, so if I kiss you then you will let me go, because you are cutting off the circulation in my arms and I need those for Quidditch. Speaking of, I had better be going. They might be worrying about me." said Veronica in a rushed voice, trying to make a fast escape.
"Not until you tell me your answer." he added gently. She tried to wriggle free, but his grip was far too strong.
"You know this is illegal, holding a girl against her will." said Veronica soothingly, switching her game plan.
"Not unless I do something to you, and I am letting you choose the fate." he replied. Veronica had never actually heard him speak like this before, in a semi-civilized conversation.
"Okay, this is how it goes. You let me go physically, I kiss you quickly, then you let me go mentally as well?" Veronica prompted.
"Yeah." he said while sniffling again. it seemed like he had a perpetually snotty nose, not exactly attractive on the boy front.
"Well have fun, because I am not going to." she said while hastily grabbing Severus, and just as her lips brushed his, there was a roar and flames shot out of the ground.
"Farkle!" cheered Veronica as she scooped her fire breathing plant off the ground, quickly noticing that it had sprouted wings and learned how to fly. "You are officially the coolest plant EVER!" she grinned while hugging Farkle.
Veronica turned to see Severus stamping fire out of the hem of his robes, so she ran out of the room, stopping her sprint only once she was all the way down the hallway.
"That is the SECOND time I have kissed him! This time was barely a kiss, but still there. I FEEL SO VIOLATED AND CONTAMINATED!" she yelled at the plant, spitting into a nearby trash can. "Wow, I seem kind of psycho talking to a potted plant. If only you could talk, Farkle."
Farkle flapped it's wings and began to zoom around.
"Veronica, there you are!" said Sirius as he ran up to her. "Quidditch game is in 10 minutes, where have you and your weird, and now flying, plant been?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." Veronica snapped as she leaned down against the wall.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I can't tell you, but I have this feeling of dirty that even a shower can't wash off." she groaned while brushing off the parts of her arm where Severus had grabbed her.
"Can a kiss wash it away?" he smirked.
"I don't think you want to.." she insisted, but he grabbed her hands and pulled Veronica to her feet, kissing her gently on the lips. Farkle made a sound resembling a gag.
"Feel better?" he asked.
"Yup." she smiled slightly, resisting from telling Sirius that he probably had thousands of grease ball germs in his mouth.
"Let's just go play some quidditch. We are already dead meat for being so late, if we miss the match, James will be homicidal." said Sirius.
"Okay." replied Veronica as he grabbed her hand, and the two walked off towards the quidditch pitch. Farkle zoomed off to who knows where.
"Where have you been?" asked James as Veronica and Sirius rushed into the locker room.
"Um, we were just walking around." said Sirius as he grabbed his quidditch robes and put them on.
"I didn't know they called that walking around." giggled Sam, a third year chaser on he Gryffindor team.
"Oh sod off munchkin." said Veronica as she rolled her eyes and pulled the robes on over her head.
Sam went off giggling like a hyena in Quidditch Robes.
"Why do we have to have strangely flirty, sex-obsessed giggling freaks like her on the team?" asked Veronica as she watched Sam skip off to the one of the team's beaters, a fifth year named Ashton.
"She can play Quidditch. She scores more goals than you." said James while reading a scorecard.
"Well she never passes the damn quaffle, and the only reason she scored more goals last game is because she was having an affair with the keeper that week and he let a few in for her." snorted Veronica as she pulled her hair into a sloppy bun on the side of her head.
"We still need to win if we want the cup." said James. "And that's just tactics. Why doesn't everyone just have affairs with the other team?" he asked, only half-kidding.
"Well I will play better knowing the twerp is taken care of, so send a bludger her way for me." said Veronica, ignoring James, as she walked away to the other side of the room.
"Great team spirit, huh?" mumbled James as he rumpled his hair and looked at a lineup chart for the other team, Hufflepuff. "Why does being captain involve so much hard work? I mean how am I supposed to know all of these dumb match ups.. to confusing.."
"Well you better miraculously memorize them, because its time to go out." commented Sirius. James flung the paper aside and rumpled his hair again, making it attractively sloppy, before leading his team out of the locker room.
As soon as James stepped out, all of the girls in the whole entire Gryffindor section, and even some form the Hufflepuff section, went crazy cheering and screaming. He waved and rumpled his hair again before giving a special wink at Lily, who was cheering alongside Remus and Devonny.
"In today's match we have Hufflepuff vs Gryffindor!" boomed the magical loudspeaker in the background. James looked up and down the pitch, the warm breeze ruffling his hair even more.
"Captains shake hands." said Madame Hooch, the third and probably not final Hooch in the family to be refereeing Quidditch Matches at Hogwarts. James reached up and shook hands with the other teams keeper, a pretty girl from 6th year.
"Good luck James." she trilled while batting her eyelashes and flipping her long, dark hair.
"You too." said James, offering a kind grin.
"Okay, mount your brooms!" yelled Madame Hooch briskly.
James kicked his leg over the CleenSweep 15, the newest and best broom out there, poised and ready to go. The whistle blew, and he kicked off hard and accelerated high into the air.
From about 200 yards over the pitch, he watched the chasers swerve around with the quaffle, and the beaters sending bludgers around every which way with their large clubs. He kept an eye peeled for the snitch all the while.
The Gryffindor chasers were much sharper and faster than the Hufflepuffs, and were managing to dodge most of the bludgers.
Listening to vague sounds of the loud speaker, he managed to hear that the score was already 160-0 Gryffindor. He eased back on his broom a little, resting his head. This was going to be a long and boring match, and the only reason to catch the snitch now was to show off.
Not even 4 minutes later, James saw a flash of gold and a swirl of Canary Yellow robes, as the Hufflepuff seeker sped off in pursuit of the Snitch. He zoomed off after the other man, quickly gaining speed and soon in the lead in the race to the Snitch, as he reached out his arm to catch the small golden ball.
Just then, a bludger sped over and smashed his arm, emitting a loud Crack. James pulled back his arm, wincing as the sharp pains surged up and down his arms. Another goal was scored, but the elated cries of the Gryffindors were soon drowned out by the loud Hufflepuffs, their seeker had just snatched the snitch.
"James, you okay?" asked Veronica as she sped over to him on her broom, stopping abruptly right next to him.
"I think I broke my arm." he said while releasing it slightly, letting Veronica have a clear view.
"Well when your arm sticks out in that angle, it's usually broken." she said. "But just hold it.. um.. what was that spell? Oh yeah... Memiocris!" yelled Veronica, swishing her newly revealed wand. James felt a quick shot of relief and warmth spread through his body, numbing his arm.
"That was awesome, you should consider being a healer." said James as he tried to flex his arm, but she had already magically wrapped it up.
"Oh no, I have much higher ambitions then to follow in my mums footsteps. She taught me all these crap temporary healing spells." She said while tilting her broom downward, drifting down out of the air. "Hurry up, you should go to Madame Pomphrey... I don't quite know if I mended your arm or gave it an intense concentration of healing mercury.."
"Ok... thanks... I think." he said while clutching his arm and descending down to the ground.
"And Potter, I scored more than that Sam bitch. See, I am much better." she smiled while zooming off. James shook his head, though grinning slightly. Then he went off to the hospital wing.
"Hey Vee, nice job." said Devonny as she gave Veronica a high-five.
"Here's to hopes of winning the Quidditch cup!" said Remus as he pulled 6 bottles of butter beer out of his cloak.
"Where'd you get these?" asked Devonny as she licked the sweet drink off of her lips.
"Saved them from the last trip." he lied swiftly. "So how does James's arm look?"
"Kinda sticking out and crazy looking, but Pomphrey can heal almost anything." said Veronica while chugging down her butterbeer.
"We should prolly visit him." said Peter.
"You go ahead, I think I fancy going off to the library." grinned Devonny. Peter shrugged and ambled away.
"I heard there was a new librarian." commented Remus as the five walked back to the castle.
"Yeah, he is a bit of a hunk." giggled Lily. "What do you think James would do if I asked him to the dance?"
"If you took the school librarian to the dance, I s'pose he would go criminally insane before going to beat up the queer book loving man who stole the girl he slaved over for about 5 years." laughed Sirius.
"You know what?" said Devonny as everyone hiked up to the Gryffindor tower. "My mum sent me a movie last night, and it made me think a little about my everyday life and activities."
"What movie did hippie-dippie mumsy send this time? The Dangers of Contraception, or Saving it Till Marriage: You gotta go through with it before you for it?" laughed Veronica.
"My mom isn't a hippie!" said Devonny crossly.
"She so is. But go on with your story."
"Okay." pondered Devonny. "it was about the slaughter houses and what they do to the poor little Chickies and Piggies, so now I am a Vegan."
"It won't last." said Veronica. "Anyway, I say we go party, canoodle, and celebrate, and then visit James later when we are all too fucked up to get out a proper sentence."
"I will go to the kitchens and nab some food, hopefully they will have fire whiskey.." mumbled Sirius, and Veronica followed him off into the castle.
An hour later, The same five were up in the boy's dorms partying and eating a bunch of food. it was pretty safe to say that most of them were 100 drunk.
"Yum, dessert." laughed Veronica as she rolled off of Sirius's bed and grabbed a piece of chocolate cake. "Anyone want sum?" she spoke in a muffled voice.
"Ew no! Cake has eggs in it! I REFUSE TO EAT YOUR STUPID CHICKEN ABORTIONS!" cried Devonny.
Sirius picked up a bottle of Firewhiskey and chugged it all in one shot.
"We shouldn't get so fucked up..." Veronica slurred. "The ball is tomorrow!"
"Good point.." said Sirius while dropping the bottle. "And it's already like 10.. let's go to bed.."
"Good idea." said Veronica as the two of them hopped up on the bed, cuddled up, and fell asleep.
"They are the strangest couple I have ever seen." laughed Remus, the only sober one.
"Yup. I say we go visit James now." said Devonny. Lily nodded, and the three of them got up and walked off to the hospital wing, Devonny glaring intently at the cake as she left.
