This is so ridiculously late because my Internet was major screwed. Sorry bout that, Laughing Girl.

So far as I remember, a lot of you guys mentioned liking my main character, Frances. I would like to thank you very much. She is a girl after my own heart, literally. I wrote her to react the way I would like to if I were in that situation, but I probably wouldn't react that way…Sigh Oh Well…

With the much appreciated help of the Laughing Girl, Pearla914, I was able to get my reviews even without the internet. THANK YOU, JP! (lol)

Cuz, wouldn't I love to turn Scabbers/Peter into a pile of Ash. SWEET LIFE!

Excuse Draco's bashing of gay men in this chapter. I obviously don't feel this way. It just a character being UTTERLY PISSED at the world in general and a guy in particular.

Chapter 9 – Embarrassments

The trip trough the Great Hall did nothing for Draco mood, seeing as he was already pissed. No one in the Arithmancy room would go near him, except Frances. (The Gryffindor part of the class hadn't shown up yet) Draco sat in the back of the classroom, fuming, with Frances, Alexa, and Keira surrounding him.

"What the fuck is Lupin's problem?" Draco sneered. "I think he liked seeing me in my boxers. I bet he's a fucking fag. Yeah, I—"

"R-Professor Lupin is not gay, you prick! How dare you say something crude and offensive like that! Suck it up! So you gotta walk around in your fucking boxers for a couple of periods? Who fucking cares? Maybe it'll deflate your effing ego! SUCK IT UP!" Frances' voice got steadily louder until she was on her feet screaming at him. "Alexa! Up, we're switching seats."

Alexa, who was about to protest being ordered around, caught site of Frances' face and, wisely, thought better of it. She silently got up and moved into the seat next to Draco. She turned to the scantily clad blond boy, who was looking highly offended, and murmured, "She gets very offended when people insult homosexuals. Her cousin, Tom, is gay and he used to be made fun of for it."

Draco cringed slightly and nodded. Well, he thought. If I'm ever gonna go out with her on a real date, I probably have to apologize…he cringed again. Malfoy's never say they're sorry…Idea!

He pulled a scrap of parchment out of the bag Keira had brought, and a quill. He scrawled a short note and threw it at Frances. She picked it up and glared at him.

She opened it and glanced it over. What the Fuck? Who the hell is Tom?

'Alexa?'

'Yeah?'

'Who is Tom?'

'Oh, Tom is your gay cousin.'

'Cuz? You know I don't have a gay cousin or a cousin named Tom, right?'

'Oh, I know, but Draco doesn't! I had to give him some excuse for why you were like ravishing him one minute and bitching at him for insult Remus the next…'

'Oh…Thanks.'

'No prob.'

Frances smiled warmly at Draco, sneering inside. Cursing him in every Language she could, which include Spanish, German, French, English, Polish, Italian, and Latin, she whispered, "Thank you, Dray. I'm sorry I screamed at you."

He smirked and she turned to Keira, smirked, and narrowed her eyes. Keira laughed. She recognized that smirk; it meant that Draco Malfoy was about to be dumped in a very embarrassing manner. Alexa looked over at the sound of Keira's laughter and Frances threw her the same smirk; she laughed too.

Finally, Professor Vector, a small, brown-haired woman in her early thirties, walked in. She made her way to the front of the room and surveyed the class. "Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are missing, that is strange, and…DRACO MALFOY! Stand up immediately!"

He did so, blushing slightly. He closed his robes and crossed his arms.

"What is the meaning of this...this display! Why are you sitting in my class in nothing but a pair of green boxers and robes?" She blushed as she scanned him.

Frances stood. "Professor, I have a note from Professor Lupin by way of explanation." She reached into her pocket, but came up empty. She looked in her bag, but came up empty again. She glanced nervously at Draco, who was staring at her in mild shock. "I-I can't find it…but it was…I…I'm so sorry, Draco. It's not here!" She turned back to the teacher. "Professor, I'll go get another note from Professor Lupin. It's my fault he doesn't have one. I must have dropped when I was tou—when I was coming here from DADA." She turned, sneered at Draco, whose jaw dropped, and hurried out of the room.

Running as fast as she could (She is very, very, fast), Frances took one of the secret passageways. It took her five-minute to make the fifteen-minute track from the Arithmancy room, which was up near the Divination room, to Remus' office, next to the DADA room. Knowing Remus didn't have a class, She threw open his office door and exclaimed breathlessly, "Remus, I—" She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw that he wasn't alone. "I- Um Professor Lupin, I…uh…"

The black-haired head turned around to reveal Sirius Black. She sighed in relief. "Oh, It's only you. That's okay then." She walked in and closed the door. "Remus, I have news for you!"

"The last time I heard that sentence it was followed by 'I'm going to have a baby' and a lot of hysterics." Sirius laughed. Remus went pale, but Frances laughed as well.

"No. It's nothing that serious." She smiled. "I just thought I'd tell you that I lost the note you gave me for Malfoy and he is standing in Arithmancy in noting but green silk boxers and school robes with our sexually deprived 30-something year old Teacher Professor Vector, who is all but drooling on him." She smirked.

Sirius returned her smirk. "How utterly embarrassing! He must be bright red." She nodded.

Remus' jaw dropped. "But…I- I mean, why?"

"Because," She smiled and leaned against the door. "He called you a fag."

"What?" This was from Sirius. "Why'd he do that?"

"Well he said the reason Rem wouldn't reverse the Vanishing Charm I put on his clothing was because Remus liked seeing Draco in his boxers and that he was a fag. Well, I kinda freaked and started screaming loud enough for the entire present class to hear, so Alexa told them that I get offended when people insult gay guys, because of my nonexistent cousin Tom who is a homosexual. That was a really long run on sentence…"

Remus looked shocked. "But I thought you…you and he were…"

"No, not really. We made out a lot but only in front of you to make you jealous. Oh and he saw me in my underwear in class this morning."

This made Remus grin and Sirius cough. "I'll tell you later, Sirius." Remus said, laughter in his voice. "Now, Pads, you mind?"

Sirius laughed. He got up and headed out the door. Frances, who was still leaning on it, stopped him. She looked up at him, her eyes dancing. His breath caught.

"Don't tell?" She said looking up at him. He promised he wouldn't and she smiled. His heart melted, then constricted when she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him.

He slipped his arms around her waist. She whispered in his ear before letting go and slipping to the floor. He opened the door and walked out in a daze. You're next, Sirius. You will be mine for all eternity.

On the other side of the closed door, Frances was once again laying on the desk her shirt open and Remus leaning over her. His lips, teeth, and tongue worked wonders on her neck. He pulled away leaving a nice little 'love bite' on her neck. She pulled his head down and kissed him, running her hands over his chest under his shirt. After about ten minutes, they pulled apart. "Moony, love, I have to go back to class and I need that note."
