Author's note: Here's Sirius' revenge…can you all comment and let me know what is better: long chapters not so frequently or shorter chapters every other day (almost). Thanks! Hope you enjoy!
Sirius Blacked looked at his best friend. James Potter was petrified. A smirk began to spread across Sirius' handsome features, as a plan started to form in his mind. It wasn't that James had really insulted him with his little comment; it was simply that Sirius felt it was his purpose is life to cause as much mayhem in life as possible. Looking up from the pile of peas balancing on his spoon, Sirius was pleased to see that Lily Evans was nearing the Marauder's place at the table. He placed two more peas on the spoon, hit the end that hovered above the surface of the table, and was satisfied with the result. The pea had flown in the air at the right angle and distance to hit Severus Snape in the head. When the angry Slytherin had turned to see the source of the flying entity Sirius looked at the ceiling and whistled, completely failing to look innocent. Looking away from the ceiling, and a cloud that looked remarkably like Mooney's head, the black haired troublemaker looked up in time to see Lily reach James. The grin on his face grew, and he perked up almost in an animalistic way. Evans was trying to look pleasant, but she was mad. This was going to be fun.
Hand on her hips Lily stared down at James, who was determinately looking at his spinach. "Is there a reason you were looking at me Potter?"
James looked like a deer caught in the headlight, and for a brief moment Sirius almost looked sorry for him…almost.
"I-I-I…well you see I was…" James' stammering only fueled Sirius on more, 'And the poor sod wonders why he doesn't get a date…you have to be smooth…like me.' After his last thought Sirius decided to cut off James.
"He wasn't looking at you."
Lily looked slightly taken back, and looked at Sirius as thought she only just realized he was there, while James was looking at his best friend as though he could kiss him. James' reprieve was short lived because imitating a sexy drawl as best as he could, Sirius put his arm around a shocked James and purred into his ear. "My Jamsie likes a real man don't you sweetheart."
To say James was embarrassed would win us the understatement of the year award. He looked as though he wished he could sink into the bench, and Sirius was still looking at him with puppy dog eyes.
Up until this point Remus and Peter had both been off in their own little worlds. Remus continued reading his book, listening to the others with one ear, and Peter shoveling as much food into his mouth as possible. Both however couldn't help but notice the scene unfolding before them. Remus glanced up, and caught James' eye, thinking he was going be saved he flashed a help me look at the werewolf. If he was thinking Remus was going to tell Sirius to quit it and back off...was he wrong.
"James…how could you?"
"Huh?" Looking up as much as possible, and trying to shrug off Sirius' arm, James looked at his friend, a horrified look beginning to overcome his face.
Standing up, Remus picked up his book, and looked down at James, and pitiful look on his features. "I knew there was something between us…but Sirius…James; I thought we had something special."
The look of surprise on Sirius' face disappeared in a millisecond, and was soon replaced by a face that looked like it was holding back tears. Flying out his sit, and hitting James in the back of the head in the process, Sirius looked at Remus and then James. Talking as though sobs were breaking through his speech he looked at James, puckering his lip, "James…I just…I can't…how could you!" Letting out one pitiful wail, the infamous Sirius Black pelted out of the great hall.
During this dramatic performance, Lily stood near James a shocked look on her face, head turning to whoever it was speaking. James was hunched on the wooden bench wishing, hoping, and praying he would sink through the floor, and Peter was slowly (his usual pace) catching onto the joke being played on his hero.
Remus looked at the ceiling, a cloud that looked a little like Sirius' head catching his eye, and looked down, trying his best to make it look like he was holding back tears. It was rare that the sandy haired boy went along with these schemes, but for some reason he couldn't explain this one appealed to him. "James, I thought what we had was special…I guess I was wrong…" Shaking his head, a lock of hair falling into his eyes, the tall boy walked out of the great hall…very much aware of the many eyes on him.
All eyes turned back to James, red faced and slouched down, and quickly averted to the small boy sitting next to him, when he began to speak, "Wow James, good thing they didn't know about us, and that time in the broom closet." Looking pleased with himself, Peter Pettigrew continued shoving roast beef in his mouth.
Sinking lower into his seat James let out a sound of disbelief. Lily looked up at the faces staring back at her, "I do believe I have seen it all." With a sigh she fell into the seat next to James, surprising everyone more than James' "boyfriends."
Ok, there's chapter 3. Sorry I didn't get your date in this one Aevum, but it will definitely be in the next chapter, I promise.
