A/N: Ok, sorry about the delay in the update. Thanks for all those that have reviewed, it is nice to know you are enjoying it. So in this update you may ask why I have done certain things, but my friend put a challenge to me to include two things in this update….enjoy (you can read her fic on FF now, username Nys: James Potter and his maturing years ...I strongly reccommend )

Chapter 10 part 1:

Sirius and James eyed the Slytherin table with anticipation gleaming in their eyes. It had been a month since they last played a prank on the Slytherins, and the four boys had become a bit testy. So much so, that James, despite the progress he was making with Lily, did not have any reservations about participating. It had in fact been his idea in the first place.

They didn't have to wait long, as the gasps and snickers coming from the direction of the Slytherin table gave the success of their prank away. Peter and Remus had obviously pulled off their part of the plan in spectacular fashion.

Sirius stood up to see over the heads of the other students, and doubled over in laughter as to what he saw. He had imagined something great when they thought about this prank, but to actually see it, was an entirely different thing altogether.

The group of Slytherins were looking at each other with looks of confusion and anger. Confusion as to why the person sitting next to them resembled something from a muggle circus, and anger when they saw the Gryffindor table, mainly the four seventh year boys, wiping tears from their eyes, from the hysterical laughter that had consumed them.

Although many of the Slytherins had been affected only two were the focus of Sirius' amusement. Snape, who had been transformed into a circus clown, wearing a multicoloured jumpsuit and bright red nose, and Olivia who was now clad out in a skimpy little trapeze artist outfit, which she was desperately trying to modify.

Snape and Olivia were both facing Sirius' direction and shooting daggers at him. But the deadly look of Snape's face in such an outfit, was only causing Sirius to laugh even harder, which in turn caused Snape's face to turn as red as his large rubber nose. It really was becoming a vicious cycle, well more humorous than vicious.

"Potter" He heard Lily's voice call out over the laughter as she made her way towards where they were sitting"What the hell have you done"

Sirius watched as James gave Lily an innocent look"What exactly tells you that I had something to do with this"

Lily was trying hard not to laugh at the situation, Sirius could see the struggle in her face"James this has your name written all over it."

James couldn't help but grin"I'm glad you are able to recognise the genius Lily."

Lily shook her head"Well this genius has earnt you another detention. You as well Sirius."

Sirius opened his mouth in pretend shock"Me? Surely I can't be held responsible for this as well"

"Don't even bother Sirius" Lily said, shaking her head. "So how long are they supposed to stay like this"

"Just a few more minutes" James replied.

"Good" Lily stated simply, grabbing a piece of toast and munching into it as she watched the Slytherins"I'll be able to burn this into my memory properly by then."

James and Sirius both looked at Lily in shock, and then at each other, before bursting into laughter again.

"Oh, just a bit of advice though Sirius" Lily said sweetly"I'd enjoy this while you can, because when Olivia is finished with you tomorrow night in detention, I doubt there will be a lot to laugh about."

Sirius abruptly ceased his laughter, as Lily's words finally registered"You're not telling me I have to serve detention with her."

Lily smiled, "Oh I am. Good luck."

Sirius groaned as he turned his gaze back towards Olivia. She looked fit to murder him. But then again, seeing her dressed like that was kind of worth it. Although she was a Slytherin, she was still a girl, and thus still fell within the category of perving material. Just not relationship material. Since when are you interested in a relationship? His mind spoke up. Okay, not snogging material.

"I don't know whether to be flattered or disgusted that you went to so much effort to perve on me in a skimpy outfit" Olivia said from the other side of the trophy room. Apparenly Lily thought being with Olivia for detention was puhishment enough, so she had given him the usual form of detention. Polishing the trophies.

Sirius paused in his polishing in shock before turning around to respond"I had no such desires. For one, the spell was to reveal your inner circus being for others to see" Well, she didn't know any different"and it appears you have a secret desire to flaunt around like a show girl. And two, don't flatter yourself that you were worthy of a perve."

Olivia laughed"I don't flatter myself. It's the truth. Females get used to the feeling of being assessed, whether the Male means to or not. Plus, Males are completely predictable that way."

The two of them had stopped polishing and were facing each other. Sirius wasn't sure what was going through his mind, it was a mess in there, and he didn't like that she managed to do that to him. She had the ability to make him despise her, and be intrigued by her at the same time. And Sirius knew that was a bad combination.

"Do you enjoy living in that little world of yours? The world where you think everything is about you" Sirius asked, walking towards her.

"You'd know."

"But I don't think the world revolves around me Semasky" he returned.

Her eyes narrowed slightly"that's a first."

He laughed"How would you know? You don't know me. And I am not so self centred to think that I am the most important being in this world. You on the other hand…" Sirius left the suggestion hanging in the air.

This time it was Olivia's turn to laugh"Don't presume to know anything about me Black. Cause your presumptions won't even come close."

He stepped towards her again, glaring at her coldly"I think they may. I do know what it is like growing up in a dark family, and I have known enough people like you."

She turned her icy gaze on him again, causing a chill to flow down his spine"I told you your presumptions would be wrong."

"I am never wrong."

"If you think so. But I never thought it was much fun being right all the time.

And I thought you of all people would know that assumptions are often wrong." She answered calmly, though there was a steely tone to her voice.

"Why do you care what I think" He asked regarding her. He knew she was right, although he would never show it, assumptions often proved to be false. But he had a feeling about her, that just wasn't sitting right.

"I don't. I just thought I would pre warn you, as the last person that made an assumption about me, didn't fair so well."

Sirius laughed despite himself"and who was that"

She smiled sweetly"Your brother."

Sirius tensed at the sound of that word, and although a part of him wanted to know more, he refused to admit it"I think you have me confused, I don't have a brother."

He watched as her eyes flickered slightly, before she finally turned and went back to her polishing.

"Not anymore" he told himself quietly. Well that was what Regulas had told him when he had finally left home. And although Sirius tried to ignore it, that statement had hurt like hell.

Sirius continued his polishing, until he felt someone behind him, and he turned around slowly.

Olivia was standing in front of him, and before he was aware of what was happening, she had pulled him down to her in a rough and fierce kiss. Before he had a chance to register whether he was enjoying it or not she pulled away.

"What the fuck was that about" He snapped at her, anger apparently being the emotion that came to the surface first.

"I don't do practical jokes" she smiled devilishly"I always preferred mind games in terms of revenge."

Sirius looked at her stunned as she walked out of the trophy room. He had no idea what had happened, but he was positive that she had just caused him many sleepless nights.

So what was the challenge? To include Snape in a clown suit with a big red nose, and Sirius to kiss a Slytherin…alas the outcome.

Let me know your thoughts, good or bad, em.
