Disclaimer- J.K. Rowling? For you baby, I could be. Ha! (shakes head) Puss-in-Boots makes me laugh! (Anybody who doesn't get this go see Shrek 2) Ok anyway... I don't own anything. Incidently I don't own Shrek or Shrek 2 either. Sigh...

Authoress' Note- Hola all! Hope you're enjoying the fic. Reviews make me happy which means I'll post more chapters which makes you happy! So overall, it benefits you if you take a couple minutes to review. E.D.J.

P.S. Sorry, the chapter's a bit titchy.

marauderluva-17- NO! Bella is Isabella not Bellatrix! Eww! I'm not that warped!

ShadowFire2- Wow you think this is as good as the brilliant Ms. Rowling could do? I am honored that you think so highly of my writing. Yeah and slash is nasty. If it's serious. If it's in some humor/parody fic it can be kinda funny for a few seconds but then you kinda want to hear some other weirdness.

Ch. 10- Black Faces the Facts

"Here he comes again," muttered Emmeline at the sight of Sirius Black striding over to their table from across the common room.

"Can't you just tell him to leave you alone?" hissed Lily as she read over her Herbology essay on Venomous Tentaculas. "He's getting unbearable!"

"Fine I will," Bella whispered back. "He is getting rather annoying."

Sirius had been trailing Bella everywhere for the past week. He was like a lovesick puppy, and he was always trying to act charming. To the three girls, he was just plain hilarious, but after awhile, it had started to get on their nerves. They couldn't talk anywhere, except their dormitory, without Sirius appearing and attempting to make some witty comment or joke to Bella.

"Why hello, Bella!" said Sirius as if he' d just noticed her, a huge grin on his face. "Fancy meeting you here. Evans, Vance," he said, giving the other two girls a fleeting nod.

"Black," they replied stiffly, barely glancing up at him before returning to their homework.

"Bella, you are looking positively gorgeous today, as always," Sirius simpered brightly.

"You don't look too bad either," she commented, glancing sideways at him.

Sirius grinned a sort of 'don't I know it' sort of smile. "Did you know I come from a very good-looking, very rich family?"

"Obviously," muttered Lily, and Emmeline snorted loudly.

"Yes, you've told me," said Bella distractedly, looking over her star chart for Astronomy. "Several times."

"Well, it's still true today," said Sirius smugly. He sat down next to Bella, scooted his chair a little closer to her, then leaned foward to examine a strand of her blonde hair. "You're hair's so soft and shiny."

"What am I a show dog?" complained Bella irritably.

"Of course not!" said Sirius with a barking laugh. "You're Bella Meadows!"

"Sounds like a show dog to me," Bella muttered darkly, finally meeting his eyes. "Well, it seems to me being pretty is about all you care about, so could you just please just leave me alone, Black?" Her voice had an icy chill to it.

"Fine," said Sirius flatly, stung, standing up. "I'll talk to you later when you're not busy."

"No, leave me alone forever!" snapped Bella angrily.

Sirius looked bewildered for a moment, but then regained his composure, and he strode back over to his friends without a glance backward.

"Thank you!" said Lily, letting out a sigh of relief, "Now we can finally have some peace without him coming in and saying, 'Oh, Bella darling! You're so beautiful! I love you almost as much as I love myself!''"

"Yeah," Bella said, looking a little uncomfortable, "We're only eleven. It's still pretty annoying when boys try to act soppy around me, even if they are cute."

"Are you sure he won't be back?" asked Emmeline worriedly.

"If he does, I'll hex him back in time two-hundred years! Then he can live with his rich, good-looking ancestors!" snapped Bella, rising to her feet. "I'm going to bed; this star chart is hopeless."

"She told me to leave her alone forever," said Sirius gloomily as he sat down next to James.

"Too bad, mate," said James absently then he perked up a bit. "I believe you owe me a Galleon, Rem!"

"You bet she'd tell me to shove off?" said Sirius angrily, staring wide-eyed at his supposed best friend. "Why?"

"Because it was fairly obvious, to me at least, that she didn't like you in that kind of way," said James honestly.

"Well, you should have told me!" replied Sirius indignantly. "Then I wouldn't have wasted at that time this past week!"

"Well, it was quite entertaining watching you make a fool out of yourself," said James cynically.

"Like you did over, Evans?" Sirius retorted.

"Don't throw that at me, Sirius!" James snapped back. "That was complete stupidity, and I don' t thank you for reminding me of it."

"Some friend you are," Sirius grumbled, kicking vengefully the table leg. He gave a loud howl of pain as foot hit hard wood, and a long string of curses poured from between his clenched teeth.

This caused everyone in the common room to look around and stare at the first-year who was hopping around cradling his foot and cursing like a sailor.

"Nice," said Peter.

"Good one," added Remus.

"Watch out, the table's rock hard," said James sarcastically, still feeling snarky. "Oops too late. Ouch."

"I'm going to bed before I'm further rejected by girls, made a fool of by my friends, or maimed by table legs!" said Sirius, and he limped towards the stairs to the boys' dormitories shouting a loud: "G'night!"
