Again And From Now On by sugarNspikes
MPPW era SBxOC Cordelia and Sirius are rivals of the friendliest kind, but when a slip on both parts occurs, the repercussions of another are deemed too risky. Staying away, however, proves to be even riskier for their sanity.
This chapter is dedicated to Rebel Writer for being my 100th reviewer and RedHeadFanatic because she is my wonderful BETA!
You won't believe how crazy life has been for me lately. All I can do is say I'm deeply sorry and give you a list of excuses. But I'll spare you and give you what you've been waiting for...
Only On Wednesdays :Chapter 12
"Well, you shouldn't have gone out so late in the first place!" Annike looked at me disapprovingly with her fierce hazel eyes.
"But I was hungry!" I whined, knowing the argument was getting old.
"I still can't believe you RAN INTO A TREE," Graham snorted on his OJ once again. "I believe that's the blondest moment you've ever had!"
"It happens ok?" I'm beginning to think my supposed friends are supposedly making fun of my supposed blondness!
"Hey at least you get some more bonding time with Black eh?" Ben looked at me teasingly as Susan and Jenni kept laughing their good old asses off.
"Do you like your pancakes Ben? Do you like how they taste Ben? Have you ever wondered how it might feel to have good tasting pancakes shoved up your ass Ben? Do you want me to help you find out BEN?" I glared at him as he meekly turned away and nibbled on his pancakes.
More giggles and stares from scared first years. "Come on, let's get back to the common room. I forgot my Transfiguration books", Anni grabbed my arm and dragged me from the table.
"You know it is probable to run into a tree!"
"Only for you", she giggled again. Obviously, my dearest humanitarian 'friend' has used up all of her consideration on cute little bunnies and dying grape plants, instead of using it for the greater good; her meek and helplessly silly friend.
Wait. Do grapes grow on trees or plants?
"Since I always seem to have a problem with this class, I've decided to give you all a new seating chart."
Groans and outrages were heard from all of the 7th year Gryffindors and Ravenclaws around McGonnagal's classroom.
"Stop chattering and whining. I don't want to hear it. All right, starting from the right-hand side aisle, Mary and Jack, James and Priya, Lily and Remus."
Anni and I got up from our shared desk to make room for Lily and Lupin. I decided to spice things up, that's all.
"Oh my dear Annike! What will I do without you?" I feigned drama and laid my hand across my forehead, as I'd seen in so many Disney movies.
"Oh Santasia, it is so sad that we must part," we both gasped and hugged each other like a Shakespearean play as silence took the classroom. Then came abrupt giggles.
"That is precisely why we need a new seating chart...And why I'm not seating you 2 with each other."
I pouted at Mcgonnagal, hey she can't be that evil right?
"Ms. Moria, unless you want another detention, additional to the ones you already have, I would suggest to keep a good girl attitude."
OK not so much of a happy kitty now is she?
Thanks McGonnagal, you've just informed a whole poop load of people about my detention.
"On the middle aisle, third to the back, Santasia and Mr. Black."
So I still haven't found out if grapes grow on trees, must make a note of checking the libra-
WHAT?
"WHAT?" Sirius shouted in surprise.
Bloody mind-reader.
All right, not so much.
He jumped into his seat gleefully, patted my chair and licked his front teeth vulgarly.
Of course he meant it as a joke.
Right?
RIGHT?
"Just kidding 'Tasia, come on, no need to be afraid," he patted the chair once more, but this time with a good hearted smile. I guess I'm not the only theatrical nerd in this school. That Beater can feign pretty well eh?
I cautiously approached the table, setting my books down gingerly, purposefully making sure none of my belonging came in a 4 inch radius of his.
2 can play at that game.
As McGonnagal went on and on about her seating chart and the new class rules, Sirius and I tested the waters.
He scooted his chair towards mine.
I scooted away.
I giggled and glanced at Anni, who was grinning back. Hhm, maybe not at the hilarious event I was going through, but because she was mercifully seated next to Graham. I guess McGonnagal picks favorites!
As McGonnagal began to go through the morning lesson magic onto the board, Sirius turned his chair away from me and began to flirt with Jessica, an average Jane, at the table next to ours.
Ah, so I see he wants to play hard to get. Puh-lease! Like I'm gonna fall for that.
I turned my chair away in turn from his and began to take my notes. Acting a good girl is actually being the part. So it stayed like this for the rest of the class period.
But one would be outrageously blind to not notice the glare Sirius shot at me for ignoring his facade.
"Class dismissed. Ms. Moria, Mr. Black, please come to my desk."
Oops. Have I done something so bad that I don't know what I've done?
I gulped back my phobia of creepy, scornful teachers who do not like you in the first place, and approached McGonnagal's desk, with Sirius lagging behind.
"You 2 may be aware that you have the next 2 nights of detention with me?"
She paused and glared at us, like one of those nagging mothers that actually expect you to confess all of your mistakes. Ya right.
"Yes we're aware", Sirius said with his chin up. How the hell does he do it? If I said that to a professor they'd wack me with their wand on my bum! Sodding favorties. She just likes Black 'cos he's brilliant at Transfiguration.
"Then you're aware that I have a teacher's meeting and your detention interferes with it?"
My eyes got big like Bambi, could this mean she's letting us off for the night?
"This means that you will serve detention in the kitchens with the Houseleves."
Of course that didn't mean she was letting us off for the night!
"You will help clean up without magic. And you're being watched so don't try anything."
"How are we being watched if you're all at the teacher's meeting?" Sirius braved to ask.
McGonnagal gave him an icy stare, damn I think I could pee in my pants if I was at the receiving end of that, "Nevertheless, we have our ways, Mr. Black."
McGonnagal nodded to herself and stacked a pile of scrolls neatly on her desk, as if dismissing us with her actions.
I waddled quickly out of the room, under the weight of my burdened backpack and caught up with my 'posse' before I would have to bare another one of Black's escapades.
Like I've said before, very long ago; I'm slower then an old turtle.
Black caught up in a heartbeat and began to chatter up a storm, earning both of us curious expressions from passbyers.
"Hey Santasia, did you get the letter from your Mum about the Holidays?"
I glanced at him suspiciously, "No, why?"
"Well I got a letter from my Aunt Odessa that our families are meeting up at the Villa this Christmas", he grinned at me, waiting for an excited reply.
"The VILLA! Oh shiez! Did she say I had to come?" I puppy-eyed Sirius, dreading what he would say.
"She specifically said you had to come. I think she knew you would put up a fight, considering what happened last time-"
"Uh don't remind me", I interrupted. The memory of my last visit at the Villa was all to fresh in my head, back in 3rd year.
It was a tradition for the Moria and Black family to vacation at this Italian Villa during the winters, to get away from the piercing cold of Britain. Of course, Sirius' immediate family never came, seeing as they had exiled half of their own clan. But the good cream of the crop in his family had always been quite close with mine, hence the Black and Moria ally.
But on more important subjects, that last visit to the Villa was a disaster! To begin with, many of my relatives and Sirius' hadn't seen me for ages. So you can guess how they cooed over my 'sudden burst of a bosom' and all the other puberty shmuck.
Have you ever had your Aunts offer you pointy cotton bras? And those long over-night pads? Oh and those charm books on How To Get Over PMS! Well if you haven't, you my friend are the most fortunate person I know!
Of course, my Mum didn't dare stop the relatives from baggering me, she thought it was all good fun. And my brothers. And my cousins. Not to mention Sirius and his family.
Oh and how can I forget the wonderful congregation of match-makers my family is? I swear on my big toe on the left foot that every boy between the ages of 10-15 was a target to be my wretched husband through some twisted arranged marriage.
Obviously, with my poor luck, the family always chose the ugliest guys for fitting. Not that I could find any cuter guys to be with anyway.
The hours, days, no WEEKS of taunting I had befallen from all of my cousins and Sirius and his cousins. The painful, agonizing moments I spent with Aunti Gemmi trying to wrap a measuring belt around my chest. For every hair there is on my head, my family reminded me of 'changes' and 'feelings' and whatever other shtick that I have fruitlessly tried to block out of my memory, still burns me to this day.
Oh but of course, I grew ten-fold since I was 13 years old, and I only dare to cringe at the thought of what they'll do to me now.
"Santasia? You awake? You look like you're having an amazing orgasm..er...I mean epiphony!" Sirius snorted as I slapped him hard on the arm, waking up from my trance of misery.
"Must you always bother me whilst I stay in deep thought Mr. Black?"
In contrast to my language, Sirius replied, "Only on Wednesdays babe."
I glared at him, "First of all, it's Tuesday", I took a deep breath before plunging into the pool of chastising I was about to do, "And secondly, don't ever call me babe. The mere idea of calling a lady by the name of a baby pig is gross, demeaning, and should make you spaz in pain, not laugh in mirth-"
"OK OK, I get the point. Just joking", he smiled sheepishly.
"Yea well give a better joke next time, Mr. Hilarious Comedian."
"Hilarious Comedian eh? I thought you though my jokes were full of crap."
"Usually they are Sirius", I explained to him, "that's just a nickname some of us made to insult you behind your back", I smirked, waiting for his reply.
"Oh", he said gaily, "Hey...hey wait!"
Before he could reprimand me, I hurried away and into the Charms room. I reached a desk just in time to see Sirius enter right as the bell rang.
"Your late Mr. Black", Professor Flitwick announced, "Please have a seat."
Sirius grumbled and purposefully walked by my chair, "Mr. Comedian thinks someone is a bit sneaky", he lightly kicked my foot and walked by.
"Only on Wednesdays babe."
I'm aware it's short, and theres more bad news, there won't be another chapter for a while. If you'd like to know why, read my profile once it's been updated, and sorry if I'm in a bad mood, it's been a very long day.
The excerpt of the story I showed in the last chapter, well that story will not be uploaded for a while either but thanks to everyone who gave me title ideas.
I won't give personal notes this time because I had about 2 long ass pages of notes to EACH AND EVERY ONE of you but it got deleted from my damn computer and I don't have the strngth to type anymore...
