Sirius Black, You've Met Your Match!
Chapter 4 - - - You Made a Bet on Me!!??
"Ouch, James! You stepped on me!"
"Sorry, Maria, but I can't see a thing!"
"Neither can I, but-ugh!!" there was a loud thump.
"Are you okay!? What happened!?"
"I ran into a wall..."
"Where the heck did they go anyway!?"
Maria and James had been wandering around under the Invisibility Cloak for fifteen minutes now, and still hadn't found their friends.
"I wonder what Si is doing...?" Maria thought out loud. Immediately, she regretted saying it.
James turned to look at her. "Ooooh, you like Sirius?"
Maria flushed. It seemed she'd been doing a lot of that lately. "Ahhh...I never said that James....where'd you get that idea? Maybe I just wanna know what he's doing..."
James grinned. "Can't fool me, can't fool me!" he cried in a singsong voice. His eyes were glowing. "You like Sirius, you like Sirius!"
All of a sudden, they heard voices.
"Come on. I know we'll win." Remus was saying.
"Yeah, cause Maria always listens to you." Lily answered. "I don't know why though...she never told us."
Maria and James crept closer to the door. It was the Charms classroom. They heard Remus giggle. "Yes, she does, doesn't she...?"
James looked curiously at his friend. "You knew Remus before this?"
"...yeah." she whispered back. "We've been friends since we were little. Now be quiet, I wanna hear what they're saying." she crept closer to the door and looked, then went inside, James trailing her softly.
Lily and Noel were sitting on desks facing Remus and Troy. All were smirking and seemed very confident about something.
"Face it." Troy said. "We've got this bet won. She trusts Remus more than anything-" here Remus grinned and thumped himself on the chest, "-and anyway, Sirius is perfect for her!"
"So?" Neol shot back. "That doesn't guarantee he'll ask her out first. We know for a fact that she likes Sirius more every day!"
"But she still trusts Remus more. You don't have a Remus-substitute, do you?" Troy cocked an eyebrow at the two girls. "If he tells her Sirius is gonna ask her out, she'll just wait! Why would she waste her breath?"
Lily and Noel sulked. The guys had them there.
"Alright." Remus said, breaking the silence. "So, we're each betting ten galleons?"
"Yup." Lily replied. "Winners split it."
At this, Maria opened her mouth to howl in rage, but James covered it quickly with his hand. "Shh! They'll hear us!"
"They're BETTING on me!"
"Shhh!"
At that there was a little scuffle, which resulted in Maria biting James's hand and James kicking Maria in the leg.
"OW!"
"EEK!"
"Hey...did you guys hear that?" Noel said slowly.
Maria and James froze, thinking Noel was talking about them. But quiet footsteps were approaching the door.
Suddenly, it burst open, and there was Professor Cheewa. "AH-HA!" he shrieked. "Lupin! Potter! VanArc! Evans! Twenty points from Gryffindor! Where are the other four of you!?"
No one answered.
"Get back to your common room! Don't let me catch you out here again!" he sounded slightly hysterical.
Noel, Remus, Troy, and Lily left, muttering to eachother. Maria and James, under the cloak, followed silently.
"Gee, I wonder where they all went?" Jenna said to Sirius as they waited for their friends to return. "I mean, what could they be doing?" then she snapped her fingers.
"What?" Sirius asked.
Jenna's brown eyes widened. "........." she forgot. She was talking to Sirius, one of the people they were all betting on. "Uh...nothing. "I just remembered....I didn't finish my Charms homework."
Sirius laughed. "Sure, Jen."
At that moment, Lily, Troy, Remus, and Noel marched in.
"We lost another twenty points." Troy said.
"Professor Cheewa caught us in the Charms classroom." Lily added.
Sirius and Jenna laughed.
"Did you guys see Maria and James?" Sirius asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Here we are!" it was Maria. "We were at the library, getting a book for History of Magic." she grinned and waved a book at them all.
"So, what's new?" James asked, coming to sit down by Sirius.
"Er...nothing."
"That's nice."
"Yes, it is."
Everyone stared at eachother. Then, in unison, they alll said, "I'm going to bed!"
As Lily passed Troy, she whispered, "So what if you guys got Remus? We have a better weapon!"
"Which is...?" Troy leered.
Lily's lip curled. "Girl talk! Ha!"
Troy's eyes widened. "A powerful weapon, indeed."
"You better believe it!"
And with that, they all went to bed.
