Disclaimer: I own not except the plot and charectors that you don't' recognize.

Author's note: sorry. I think this chapter is probably really really bad, but there is DIALOGUE! In part of it. I actually think that that's the worst part. I promise that future chapters will be better.

I'm gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide

You Win Again (Bee Gees)

Linas POV

The only thing I can say in regards to Sirius Black is

"Thanks. Thanks a bunch."

Because now, guess who has to attend a detention? Me. Calina Bones, in detention.

I mean, it's not as if I've never HAD a detention, it's just that this time I'm not totally responsible.

Sirius is. It was his idea to go careening around at night to the kitchens of all places. I just went along.

But according to Flitchy or whoever it was that caught us, we are both responsible and have to take the same consequences.

And what might those consequences be, you might ask? Oh, only birthing some underwater sea monster with a half giant named 'Hagrid'.

And from where I'm standing that seems like a very bad dream. And I have to do it with Sirius.

Hmmm. I wonder why he just escorted Harmony out of the mirror that is used to cover up the entrance to the Heads Dorms.

I thought he was dating Melody. At least according to Melody.

Oh well. Not my problem.

I guess.

Sirius' POV

YES! I have scored a detention with Lina! This is better than Quidditch!

Pity though. She didn't seem as happy about it as I was.

I am kind of weirded out at the moment though. I just took Melody, I learned her name now! That's a plus- out for a walk and she was completely different. Kind of indepth. Also very creepy.

Instead of trying to get me to kiss her like she did last night (in which she did NOT succeed), she just wanted to look at the stars.

It wasn't a bad quarter of an hour, but it was more like I was spending it with a friend, instead of a clingy fangirl.

Remus' POV: Arithmancy

Prongs-

Don't you get it yet? Lily obviously had a reason for wanting Malfoy to ask her out. Whatever that reason might be, I have no clue….

In order to get Lily back on your good side, you need to apologize. With flowers. And very possibly chocolates.

And I've gotten your new chaser to try out…. Remember tryouts are on wed.

Oh, duh. You know when the tryouts are DON'T YOU!

Or do you? You're heads been up in the clouds for a while now….

James POV

How DARE he!

My head is up in the clouds, huh? What about HIS?

He did have a point with the whole apologizing thing. It worked.

At least I think, judging by the way she gave me a hug after wards. I didn't even have to use the flowers. I had them hidden right by so I could grab them on short notice. In case I had to defend myself from flying objects, or my apology wasn't going over well.

At least the chaser thing will work out. Tryouts are tomorrow. I've got to remember to notify the team. Or maybe I'll just make Sirius do it.

That will work too.

Dialogue!

Lina's POV

Birthing a giant squid was possibly the most disgusting thing I have ever done. EVER.

It is positively repulsive.

At least Sirius was there. Admittedly he did most of the work but whatever.

When we first got out to the lake, Sirius introduced me to Hagrid. I'd been a little bit nervous about meeting a half-giant I was about to be punished by, but he's really nice. A little barbaric but his heart is in the right place.

He was very understanding about my fear of water, but that didn't stop him from bundling us onto a boat and waving good bye from the shore, after giving us the instructions.

My first thought was

"Great. Now we have to do this without supervision, by an instruction book. Just Super."

It didn't turn out to be too bad. I mean there wasn't a lot of blood or anything. It was just kind of disgusting because baby giant squids are very ugly. And I had to hold the thing while Sirius eased the mother back into the water.

Now all that was left was to feed this little baby squid. And all that was involved was sticking this little bottle into it's mouth. Not exactly rocket science.

The silence between Sirius and I was getting awkward. He just kept staring at me. It was rather unnerving, but in a good way.

I was throwing things around in my mind trying to think of something, anything, I could say without sounding stupid when he did it.

He just leaned over and kissed me. By that time we were almost back to shore and Hagrid came out of his hut asking

"hey- what's goin on aut' there?"

Sirius and I broke apart and to my extreme surprise, Sirius looked guilty- GUILTY, Sirius Black, of all things. That was about when I jumped out of the boat, scrambled out of the water and ran all the way back to the castle with my shoes soaking wet.

And now I'm in Lily, Arianna and I's dorm. I have just told them all about it and they are analyzing it. Which is weird to me, but apparently it's perfectly normal to social butterflies like them.

Right now, I'm trying to solve a fairly serious problem.

Such as, "What on earth am I going to do now?"

Lily's POV

I know I should be thinking over Lina's predicament right now, but all I can think of is that I hugged James Potter. I HUGGED him. Just because he apologized. I was a little amazed.

He seemed so contrite! And he really wasn't trying to be a prat. He was just trying to keep me safe. Which was sweet.

Talk about major heart palpalations thought. I don't' think my hear will ever come down from where it's lodged itself, which is right between my ears.

Sigh.
