Disclaimerererer: If I had a piece of white chocolate, I would be happy...oi, yes, I own only Tessi. Poor, poor Tessi.

"Slide it , Bud."

"You got it, Sirius."

Two mugs of butterbeer skidded down the waxed, mahogany counter of the Three Broomsticks. White foam sailed off the rims, scattering the counter.

"Needa work on that slide, Bud."

"You're the only one I do it for, Sirius."

Tessi let out a small giggle, taking the mug Sirius was handing to her. The sides of Sirius' mouth curved, and he looked at her out of the corner of his eye. She sat upright, thinning her lips.

"So, what is your view on muffins, Tessi?"

"Muffins suck."

"We have our opinions."

"What's your view on frolicking through flowers?"

"Only the best thing you could ever do."

"What about Snape?"

"You've heard of him? He's a git."

"Hear, hear."

"Ding-dong."

"What?"

"The witch is dead."

"Sirius, I'm a witch."

"The wicked witch."

"Hello?"

"Is really dead."

"Okay, you can shut up."

"That bloody witch."

"Sirius!"

"Never had chance, I tell you."

"I'm just about to leave."

"Why?"

"Because-"

"She was a witch."

"I need a psychiatrist after today."

"Who do you think I am, Dr. Phil?"

"You have too much hair."

"Like it?"

"Stop acting gay."

"You know me more than you think."

"Ew. That's gross."

"Oi, Tessi, so true."

"I don't think you heard me."

"No, I didn't, and that was obviously a bad answer."

"Oh yeah."
"Yeah."

"What?"

"Shorty got down."

"Don't you be talkin' to me."

"I'm rapping."

"You're talking."

"Yeeaaah."

"You are really annoying."

"Hear, hear."

Tessi shook her head, and gazed out the window.

"Dang it."

"What?"

"It's starting to flurry."

"Didn't see that coming. I'm dressed for summer, sheesh."

"No, you're dressed for fall."

"I have no scarf."

"Neither do I."

"What do expect me to do, rip my robe off and drape it around you?"

"No. Just rip your clothes off and stand outside."

"You do know a lot about me."

"Shut up."

"C'mon, we're wasting time."

Sirius took Tessi by the arm. Followed reluctantly behind, her mouth slanted into what could be considered an annoyed, yet satisfied smile. They pushed against the wind, which was quite stronger than the slight breeze earlier. They shoved themselves into Zonko's Joke Shop. Snowflakes coated Tessi's hair, and Sirius brushed some out. His cheeks were a bit pink, and Tessi couldn't decide whether it was from the cold, or her.

"Uh-oh."

"What?"

"I feel unsafe with you here."

"What!"

"No, dumb-butt. It's a joke shop, and I know of your occasional dung bombings."

"Oh. I knew that."

"You are slightly insane, Sirius Black."

"Speaking of insanity, have I ever told you about me being right-handed?"

Sirius started to chat about his discovery, fiddling with different contraptions, feeling a bit more friendlier with Tessi since the last hour.

A/n: Blah, I think I'm having a small writer's block, but not one that will keep me from continuing. Just the whole idea of the stupidity of this story is sinking. Well, I have many things in mind, I just have to get these few rising actions over with. Like my fancy term? Thank you literature. I'm gonna start trying to keep up with replying the reviews on here for each chapter. I'll just clog the one's I have for now down here.

horn-head-'bows' Many thanks. Ha, odd moment with the civilization thing, it's an ongoing joke between my friends and I.

jessa faerie-And why wouldn't spell check include barette? Thanks!

someone-Muffins...gotta have the muffins...

Stacy-comedy-Sorry if I offended you a bit there, I think I'll get rid of one of those comments. And thanks for pointing out those dialogue mistakes there.

jessa faerie...again-FWAHAHA! See, you gotta joke with the gay stuff. I know, I weirded myself out with "Through My Eyes".

Ben's Little Mickey-Interesting indeed, my friend.

Julie- Doesn't it?

vanity is my name-Yes, I think that wasn't really Remmy's never-ending sarcasm there. :P

Autumn Thursday-Really? I just slopped that description down...well, you get my point.

Trinity Day-Funny might be too small of a word.
