Chapter 15: NEVER agree with a Marauder

~*~

"Hey, look mate," James pointed to the sleeping blonde on the couch.

"Who's that?" Sirius responded.

"It's your best friend," Peter said sarcastically.

"You know the one you always get along with?" Remus added.

"She fights with me, I don't fight with her," Sirius said realizing whom they were talking about.

"Yeah, right Padfoot," James replied rolling his eyes.

"It takes two people to fight ya know?" Remus added.

"Are you guys siding with her?" Sirius asked.

"Good night, Padfoot. Didn't you have some business to take care of?" James asked winking towards Bree.

"What business?"

"The one we talked about earlier! C'mon Padfoot don't give up on us now," Peter stated patting Sirius on the back.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Sirius ignored them.

"Fine, Padfoot. We're sorry, now go ask her," Remus pushed Sirius towards Bree.

"I still don't understand why we have to ask her and why I have to ask her." He pouted.

"Because, all the other girls in the school cling to us," James pointed out, "Lily would tell, Ashley wouldn't even listen, and Riley would end up telling someone."

"That still doesn't answer why I have to ask," Sirius replied.

"Because you guys always fight and you need to get along, besides, you're our last hope and I'm tired. Do you always want to remember that you were the one that messed up this glorious prank because you wouldn't ask Livingston something?" Remus answered.

"I'm only doing this for the prank," Sirius said confidently, "Alright here I go."

James, Remus, and Peter headed up to the dorm room to leave Sirius alone with Bree. (A/N: James' old bed is still in his old dorm too. They usually go to the Head's dorms but on weekends they sometimes stay with their friends.)

Hmm, how in the world am I going to get her to wake up? Sirius though to himself.

"Hello?" he poked Bree in the side, "Anyone home?"

Bree's eyelids slowly opened revealing her tired eyes.

"Hi," Sirius said uncertainly, "I didn't think you were going to show tonight."

"You..." Bree clenched her fists from the temptation of hitting Sirius square in the face.

"What's wrong?" Sirius asked.

"You're the reason why Andrew is pissed. Did you say anything to him?" she accused Sirius.

"Said what?" Sirius asked confused.

But Bree sensed he knew what she was talking about, "You better talk fast because I'm about to punch you so hard you won't be able to play Quidditch for a year."

"Now that would be horrible," Sirius loved getting her angry.

"Talk faster..." Bree raised her fist.

"Alright, calm down," Sirius put her hands down, "Ok, me and the guys we, uh, planning this prank on the Slytherins. But we need some help and all the other people wouldn't understand, Lily would tell, Ashley wouldn't listen, and Riley would tell the whole school," Sirius repeated what James told him.

"So you want my help?" she asked surprised, "Wait, why are you asking me?"

"I was ordered to," Sirius sat down.

"I see," she replied resting her head on her hand, "So what do you want from me?"

"We need you to keep the school in the Great Hall tomorrow morning at breakfast."

"How the bloody hell do you expect me to do that?" she asked.

"I don't know, cause some sort of commotion," he shrugged.

"Can't Peter do it or something?"

"We need him for the prank," he replied.

"And what exactly am I supposed to start?"

"I don't know say you lost something and no one's leaving until you find it," he suggested, "Everyone's so afraid of you, they'll do it."

"Not funny," she replied angrily.

"Sorry," he said quickly, "So will you do it?"

"Why should I?"

"You get to laugh at the Slytherins?" Sirius said hoping she would agree.

"I can do that any day."

"Fine, then I'll leave Andrew alone," Sirius suggested.

Bree looked at him for a minute. Andrew would stop being all jealous if Sirius stayed away from him. She thought to herself, "Alright fine. But you have to leave Andrew alone all the time. You have no idea how mad he was because of you today."

"Why?"

"Who isn't mad when your around, Black?" She replied standing up.

"The whole school," he smiled.

"Andrew thought I was cheating on him with you," she said staring into the fire.

"Us? Together? That guys insane," he laughed, "Why would he think that?"

Bree shrugged, "I don't know. We were together this afternoon so he assumed something I guess."

"You didn't tell him," Sirius concluded.

"Tell him what?"

"That we went to Zonko's together," he stated.

"Would you have told your angry girlfriend you went to Zonko's with me?" she replied.

"I see your point," he pointed out.

"Yeah..." she got up, "Please don't mention this to Andrew. Because I know you will fight sometime and you'll say it just so you can win the battle."

"I'm better than that," he replied, "I'm not like those back-stabbing Slytherins," he looked angry.

"Yeah...if you say so," she rolled her eyes, "Just stay away from Andrew and I. Deal?"

"I made a deal to stay away from Andrew. That still gives me a right to drive you crazy," he smiled and went up the boys' stairs before she could speak.

"Oh, this is just peachy. What did I just get myself into?" Bree asked herself before heading up the staircase to her bed.

~*~

"Morning!" Lily cried happily.

"Morning," everyone replied quietly as they rolled out of bed.

They all took showers and got dressed into their Hogwarts robes and prepared for the day.

"Last day of the weekend," Bree said yawning.

"Yup, man I'm starved I can't wait until breakfast," Ashley said as she put on her eye shadow.

"Breakfast!" Bree practically poked her eye out with her mascara.

"Yeah...you know the thing you eat in the morning," Riley looked at Bree oddly.

"Right, I knew that. I have to go, see you guys at breakfast," Bree quickly used a spell to dry her hair and she ran out of the room.

"What's up with her?" Ashley asked.

"No idea," Lily replied.

They all shrugged off Bree's odd behavior and completed getting ready then headed downstairs together for breakfast.

~*~

Bree rushed down the stairs and spotted the four Marauders sitting in cozy armchairs by the blazing fire.

"Ah, and here she comes now," Remus said smiling up at Bree.

"Er, hi," she said a bit uncomfortable.

"Ready to go?" James asked leading the way to the portrait.

"...sure," I replied uncertain.

"Now, when Peter pulls his ear from the doorway-"

"I cause the commotion," Bree interrupted James, "You've told me like fifty times already."

"Okay, do you have any idea what kind of commotion you're going to cause?" Remus asked.

"No, but I'll think of something," she replied.

"Alright, let's go," Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter exited the Great Hall and went to prepare for their prank.

Bree waited impatiently for about ten minutes before Lily, Riley, and Ashley came into the Great Hall and sat down next to her.

"How was your breakfast?" Riley asked Bree.

"Super," she said keeping an eye on the doors.

"Did the soup taste good?" Lily asked catching Bree off guard.

"The best," Bree said.

"Lil?" Ashley waved her hand in front of Bree's face, "There isn't even soup here and your plate is still empty."

"Oh, sorry. I've just got to do something for the Marauders so haven't eaten yet." She replied putting some food on her plate then returned her gaze towards the door.

The three nearly fell out of their seats, "You're helping the Marauders?" Ashley questioned.

"With what?" Lily asked.

"It's a prank and I'm only doing it so they will leave me and Andrew alone," she replied.

"Does this have to do with-" Riley started referring to Bree's meeting with Sirius.

"Yes, no shush before I miss Peter," she said ignoring them.

A few minutes passed when Peter came into the Great Hall and tugged at his ear.

"Here I go," Bree mumbled to her friends.

"AHH!" Bree screamed on top of her lungs, "AHH!"

Riley, Lily, and Ashley looked at her as if she was crazy and covered their ears.

"What is it?" Many people questioned.

"I lost...er something and no one is leaving until it's found!" Bree stood up on her seat and told the Hall. She went to the door and blocked it, "I mean it," she glared at a few students.

"What did you loose Miss Livingston?" Professor McGonagall asked from across the hall.

"What did I loose?" Bree never thought of something, "I, lost, my..." she searched her mind for an answer while looking down the Gryfinndor table, "My boyfriend."

"Lost your boyfriend again, Livingston?" Sirius voice came from behind Bree.

James, Sirius, and Remus entered the Great Hall with huge grins on their faces; obviously their prank was going to be successful.

"Yeah," Bree said realizing that was a stupid thing to say.

"You should keep a leash on him," James replied.

"Shut it, Potter," she glared, "Where is he?"

"Like we keep tabs on your little boy," Remus replied laughing.

"Funny," Bree eyed them trying to find out when she can stop playing, "Where is he?"

"I'll tell you if you can keep a secret," Sirius said walking up to her, "He's a beetle now," he whispered into her ear.

"Are you serious, Black!?"

"That's my name, don't wear it out," he grinned at the lame joke he often used.

"This wasn't part of the deal," she muttered.

"It's a bonus," he grinned happily.

"Aw, Livingston, don't worry about your little boyfriend," James swung his arm around her shoulder and steered her so she faced the four tables, "He'll turn up one day."

"Very funny," she responded.

"No, this is," Sirius said waving his wand.

Every person at the Slytherin table was turning green and sprouting warts. Then their pumpkin juice was replaced with green slime that caused whoever drank it to fill up with air and float to the ceiling.

"Now this is hilarious," Remus said looking at the floating green Slytherins.

"You will never grow up will you guys?" Bree said from in between James and Sirius.

"Nah, I don't think so," James said.

"Not anytime soon at least," Sirius added.

"Ok, now is Andrew really a beetle?" she asked James and Sirius.

"Maybe, maybe not," they replied.

"Oiy, Wormtail, fetch Balmos for me would ya?" Sirius called to Peter. (A/N: In case you haven't noticed, Andrews's last name is Balmos. Lol I dunno if I've mentioned that before.)

Peter pulled a little glass out of his bag and handed it to Sirius.

"Give him here," Bree said very angrily.

"Catch him," Sirius held Andrew above Bree's reach.

"This isn't funny. You agreed that if I helped you, then you would leave him alone," Bree replied.

"She has a point, Sirius," Remus stood up for Bree. Lily, Riley, and Ashley made their way over.

"Yes I did agree to leave him alone, but I transfigured him before I asked Bree for this little favor," he said happily.

"Sorry to say Livingston, but Padfoot does have a point," James said.

"What's going on?" Lily asked as they approached.

"You want to know what's going on?" Bree asked angrily, "Sirius is just about to die!" she screamed and ran on Sirius.

Sirius didn't see it coming as Bree ran into him and knocked him onto the floor. The glass with Andrew in it rolled away and Riley quickly retrieved it.

"I hate you!" she screamed in between punching Sirius.

Sirius wasn't doing much of a job of defending himself; he was just trying to get Bree off of him.

"I'm going to kill you!" she yelled as she punched him in the face.

"BREE!" It took all of Riley, Lily, and Ashley's strength to pull Bree off and hold her back. And it took Remus, James, and Peter to hold Sirius back from getting to Bree.

"Knock it off," Riley said as she held Bree's arm.

"He's a liar and I want him gone," she muttered.

"Livingston! Black! No fighting! Detention for a week, both of you!" McGonagall had come and taken the fight into her own hands.

"He bloody transfigured my boyfriend, Professor!" Bree screamed.

"What?" she questioned.

"Here's Andrew, Professor," Riley said quietly as she handed the beetle to McGonagall.

"Is this true Mr. Black?" she asked Sirius.

"Sure is, Professor," he replied glaring at Bree.

"You have no right to transfigure students, make that two weeks of detention for Mr. Black and one for Miss Livingston. Oh, and one for all of the Marauders for their little show this morning," she glared at all of them, "I'll owl you the times. And I recommend you don't make any plans Mr. Black because you'll be in detention every night for three weeks. Was anyone else involved in this little floating scheme of yours?"

The boys looked at each other then at Bree, "No, Professor," Sirius said, "Just us, like usual," he managed to plaster a fake grin on his face.

McGonagall left to go to her office to change Andrew back to normal.

"Now it's my turn to kill you!" Sirius said as he broke free from his fellow Marauders grip.

"Oh, no you don't Padfoot. There will be no murdering today," Remus said as they held him back, "You don't want a whole month of detention because then you'll miss out on Marauder events," Remus gave Sirius a clue.

"Right," he remembered about the full moons, "Let's get out of here," he replied leaving the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall came into the Great Hall followed by Andrew looking a bit confused.

"I'm going to bloody kill that Black," he muttered when he saw Bree.

"Don't worry, I think Bree may have already," Ashley joked.

"Damn right I did," Bree replied leading the way out of the hall.

"C'mon, I guess that means we're leaving," Ashley said to Riley and Lily.

The three girls rushed out to follow Bree.

They weren't too keen on leaving her by herself. Mainly because she was muttering to herself her plan of how Sirius Black was going to die.

"Bloody git. I'll rip his slimy face off it it's the last thing I do!"

"Bree, it'll be okay," Riley said cautiously.

"Do you think I'll look more innocent when I push him off the edge of the Astronomy tower or if I feed him to some vicious creature?"

"You can't kill him anytime soon," Ashley stated, "You'll get kicked out of school for sure."

"Oh, darn, your right," Bree stomped her foot on the ground, "I guess I'll have to wait until schools over."

"Bree, we don't want you to go to Azkaban!" Riley exclaimed.

"Why did I bloody trust him?" Bree didn't seem to hear us, "I'll tell you why, cause I'm too damn soft. I can't wait until Quidditch season starts. I always wondered how deformed his face would look when I hit him in the face with a bludger."

"I don't think she should be on the team this year," Lily muttered to the other two.

"I agree," they both responded.

"I'm tired. I'm gong to bed," she walked up the staircase.

"Alright, we'll just get some homework done or something," Lily said waving.

"Speaking of homework," Bree stopped halfway, "You better get started on that Potions essay, Rye. I expect top marks."

"Oh yeah," she groaned, "I forgot."

"Better get to that library then," Bree said before completely disappearing.

"What is she talking about?" Ashley asked.

"Oh, just some crazy deal. Come on, let's get to the library," Riley headed to the library not wanting to push the subject much further.
