A/N: Hello! Sorry it took so long, school's been really hectic. Grr … Anyway, I hope you like it!!

DISCLAIMER: You should all know by now that my imagination isn't strong enough to invent characters and places, I have to borrow JKR's ones. My imagination barely stretches far enough to invent Lena, her family, and CJ. I don't own Abba, either, or, of course, Monty Python. Damn. I can't even say I made up Sirius' version of Fernando, I heard it somewhere. How depressing. Oh well.

Chapter Two: Fizzing Whizbees, Quidditch and … Dandruff?

Lena bounded down the stairs, still in her pyjamas. She was definitely a morning person. The house was quiet; her mum had gone to work, and her dad was giving lectures at the local university. He was a teacher at the local Muggle secondary school, but he gave lectures during the summer holidays. He taught history. This meant he tried to enforce his love of history onto Lena, much to her annoyance. Lena was just trying to decide what to have for breakfast, when the phone rang.

"Lena, sweetie, it's your dad," Mr. White said.

"Hi!" she replied.

"Are you awake long?" he asked.

"Nope, about 5 minutes," she answered. Mr. White told her excitedly that a professor had given him tickets for a production of Macbeth at the weekend. She groaned inwardly. As soon as she'd hung up, she swore out loud.

"Lovely to see I'm in the company of such a refined young lady," came a voice from the door. Lena jumped.

"Oh, shut it," she said. That had been the second time Sirius had given her a heart attack.

"Well, why are you swearing anyway?" Sirius asked.

"My dad just called to tell me that he's got tickets for Macbeth," Lena said. "He's got a thing about exposing me to culture."

"What's 'Macbeth'?" Sirius asked. Lena explained all about Shakespeare. "So," he said when she'd finished, "it's basically men walking around in tights talking funny?" Lena nodded. "Would your dad mind if I went, too? I'm kinda curious."

"No," Lena said, he'd love it. You'd be in his good books for about ten years. I'm going to make pancakes. Would you like some?"

"Yes, thanks. I love pancakes!" Sirius said. "Especially with loads of maple syrup! It makes me hyper!"

"Really?" Lena asked. "Me too!" He grinned and sat at the table while she made the batter.

"So what do you do around here for kicks?" he asked.

"Well, there is a fairly big magical community, just no magical teenagers. There is a Quidditch field, though. Sometimes my mum and I play, when she's finished work," Lena said.

"You play Quidditch?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, I love Quidditch!" she answered.

"What position do you play in?" he asked.

"Chaser," she answered. "Do you want to play today?"

"Yeah, that'd be fun!" he said. "I love playing when I'm on a sugar high!"

"Me, too!" Lena exclaimed. "Sugar highs are fun!"

"Loadsa fun!" Sirius agreed. Lena finished the batter and carried it over to the cooker. Sirius stood up.

"Where do you keep the plates?" He asked. Lena pointed him to the right cupboard, and Sirius set the table. As Lena was setting the stack of pancakes on the table, Mary and Pinky swooped in the window. Sirius took the letter from Mary, and offered him a piece of pancake. He opened the letter and read it.

Padfoot,

I'm not having fun. This woman has got to be the most boring woman in existence. Plus I feel as if I'll never get the cat smell out of my clothes.

Your letter isn't going to help, either. Lily Evans, Head Girl? Someone out there is determined to make me suffer!

For your information, I am not looking forward to next year!! And just 'cos I'm head boy doesn't mean I'm not going to cram in as much pranks as possible. Only one year left to terrorise the teachers!

I repeat for about the ten millionth time in my life that I DONT LIKE LILY EVANS!!!!

Bye,

Prongs

Sirius grinned. He'd annoyed James! Mission accomplished. He glanced over at Lena, who was also grinning while she was reading her letter.

Lena,

How dare you say that? I do not have feelings for that insensitive twat! You ever say anything like that again, and I'll make your life a living hell! Oh my god, he's Head boy? My life is over!

Actually, no it's not. I'll take this as a chance to show how mature I can be. I won't let him interfere with my duties!

Toodles,

Lily

xoxoxo

Lena laughed a she put down the letter. Sirius looked up from his pancakes.

"What's funny?" he asked.

"Oh, I just got Lily angry with me on purpose. I love pissing her off!" she answered.

"Cool, I just annoyed James, too. I said he fancied Lily. It's true, he just won't admit it, not even to himself," Sirius said.

"Really? 'Cos Lily likes James, she just doesn't know it yet," Lena said. "I only know 'cos I know her too well."

"So they like each other?" Sirius said. "Interesting."

"Very," Lena agreed. "We should set them up. Imagine what their wedding would be like..."

"I'd be the handsome best man," Sirius said. Lena snorted.

"Yeah, sure," she said sceptically. Sirius pretended to be hurt. Lena grinned and continued. "And their kids'd be cute."

"Their son'd look just like James," Sirius said. "Poor child."

"But he'd have Lily's eyes," Lena added. Sirius nodded and finished off his pancakes.

"That was delicious," he said. "Oh, the syrup is starting to kick in!"

"Let's tidy up, get dressed and play Quidditch!" Lena said. Forty-five minutes later, Sirius was knocking on her bedroom door holding his broomstick. (A/N: I know what you're thinking. EW! Not like that!)

"Lena?" he called. She opened the door, beaming.

"Hi! Oh, here, let me take your broom," she said. "We have to walk through the Muggle neighbourhood to get there, so I can put it in my mum's bag. She enchanted it to hold anything."

"Okey doke. Is it far?" he asked.

"No," she answered, adding his broom to the bag on her bed. They left the house, after Lena had scribbled a not explaining where they were in case her parents came home early. Out on the pavement, Lena began to jump on the cracks in the pavement.

"Whatcha doin'?" Sirius asked curiously.

"Stepping on the cracks," she answered. "I know most people jump over them, but it's more fun this way." Sirius shrugged and started to do it, too.

"Hey, you're right! This is more fun!" he exclaimed. They continued that way for quite some time, until they came to a piece of pavement that had only one long crack down the middle. They looked at each other for a second, and then they jumped on it at the same time, crashed, and fell down, laughing. Sirius hopped up, grabbed her hand and dragged her up.

"Lena, aren't you going to introduce me?" a girl's voice came from behind them.

"C.J!" Lena exclaimed, and hugged the girl. "This is Sirius, he goes to my school. His mum is my mum's boss, he's staying with us because well, because he is. Sirius, this is CJ, my best friend from primary school." He smiled and shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you," Sirius said. "Do you go to the local school?" he asked. CJ nodded. Sirius winked at Lena to let her know he knew she was a Muggle.

"So what exactly were you doing?" CJ asked.

"Stepping on the cracks," Lena answered.

"Still haven't grown up, then?" CJ joked.

"I don't think I ever will," Lena replied, smiling.

"Sirius. That's an unusual name," CJ said. Sirius grinned.

"I'm the brightest star!" he exclaimed proudly. The girls laughed.

"So are you two going out?" CJ asked.

"No," Lena said quickly. "We're just friends."

"Oh. So where are you off to?" she asked.

"Oh, just off for a walk," Sirius said.

"Can I come?" she asked. "I'm bored, and I never see you anymore!"

"Um, ok," Lena answered, and Sirius raised his eyebrows. "Muggle-repelling charms," Lena whispered.

"Oh," Sirius whispered back.

"So how's your dad?" CJ asked.

"Good, he's lecturing today," Lena answered. "But he's taking me and Siri to Macbeth at the weekend."

"Ooh. 'Is this a dagger that I see before me?' He did that with us in English. It was very interesting," CJ said.

"Speak for yourself," Lena replied. They walked on, talking, until they reached a clump of trees.

"Oh, bugger!" CJ exclaimed. "I promised mum I'd look after my little brother! I totally forgot! Sorry, Lena, I'll talk to you before you go back to school, ok?" she said, hugging Lena.

"Bye," Lena replied, waving as CJ walked away.

"Through here?" Sirius guessed. Lena nodded.

"We only have a Quaffle so you'll have to make do," she said. "I know you're normally a Beater, but tough!"

"Ok," Sirius said, and Lena handed him his broom.

"First to 100 wins," Lena said, and mounted her broom. She passed the Quaffle to Sirius. "You get to go first."

"I don't want your pity," he retorted, grinning. "You can go first."

"Fine, but if you let me go first you're not going to see the Quaffle," Lena said and took off with the ball before Sirius knew what had happened.

"You are fast!" he exclaimed. He barely had time to catch up with her before she had scored.

"Wow! Good score!" he exclaimed, and she blushed. He grabbed the Quaffle and headed for his own hoops. She raced ahead and cut him off, grabbed the Quaffle and scored again.

"Lena, how come you never tried out for the house team?" Sirius asked. She shrugged.

"I don't know. I was always meaning too, but the only chance for a Chaser was when James and Remus tried out. And I'd never stand a chance against them," she said.

"I don't know about that," Sirius said. "You're very talented." Lena blushed again.

"Yeah, sure," she said sarcastically.

"Honestly!" he exclaimed. "There's a place on the team for a Chaser, now that last year's seventh years have left."

"You really think I'm good enough for the House team?" she asked incredulously.

""Hell yes! We need you! This is the last chance to win the house cup," he said, shaking his head at the thought of the final he had played in last year.

"You were excellent last year," Lena told him, guessing that that was what he was thinking about.

"Not good enough," he said, grinning forcedly.

"It's not your fault Slytherin are cheating scum," she said. Last year, at the final, Slytherin had played the dirtiest game in Hogwarts history.

"Let's just forget about that and finish our game," he said. They continued, and after a half an hour, Lena had won 100-10.

"Good of you to let me watch," he said when the game was over. Lena grinned. "See? I told you you were talented!"

"Oh, just 'cos I beat you?" she scoffed. "You're a beater, you're not used to the Quaffle."

"Fine, but I'm telling James about you," he said. "And I want you to seriously consider trying out for the house team."

"Ok, but I'm not promising anything," she said. Just then, it started to rain. "Shit!" Lena said.

"So what now?" he asked.

"We could go home and watch Monty Python," Lena suggested.

"What?" Sirius asked, confused.

"Oh, you're a pure-blood, you don't know about TV," she said. "I'll have to educate you. Monty Python is the best TV show ever. It's just mad. Very silly, and funny."

"I like silliness," Sirius said. "And I have heard of a TV before. I do Muggle studies, you know."

"Sorry, I just assumed you wouldn't," Lena said.  "How ... non PC of me. Sorry. I hate the way people, well, some people anyway, refer to other people as 'pure-bloods' I don't know why I said that about you, sorry. I think classifying people by their blood makes us all sound like dogs."

"I agree, though my parents don't. Does my mum know that your dad is a Muggle?" he asked.

"No," Lena answered. "She thought that she wouldn't get the job if she told her."

"She was right. Mum's sooo shallow. I hate it when she judges like that," he said.

"Anyway, parents are silly, and we're getting wet. Let's go home. Wait till you see Monty Python!" Lena exclaimed. "I know you'll love it!"

*****

Sirius couldn't remember ever laughing so hard. This was the funniest thing he had ever seen! Some of it was really witty, other parts were just hilarious, and lots of it was just bizarre. It was a nice mix.

"Brilliant!" he said to Lena. "How in the name of Merlin did I live without it?"

"I don't know," she answered, grinning. "I've got tons of videos. Wanna watch some more?"

"Hell yeah!" he said. They watched Monty Python for another few hours, until Lena's mum arrived home.

"Hi, Lena darling. Hi, Sirius. How have you two been?" she asked. She spotted the TV and grinned. "Not Monty Python!" she exclaimed.

"Uh huh," Lena said. "We were playing Quidditch, but then it started raining so we had to come home."

"Do you like Quidditch, Sirius?" Mrs white asked.

"Yes! Your daughter is incredibly talented," he said, and Lena blushed.

"Oh, stop it with that already," she said. "He wants me to try out for the house team."

"Are you on the team, Sirius?" Mrs. white asked. He nodded.

"I' m a Beater," he said. "My friends James and Remus are Chasers. We need another Chaser this year, though."

"And you think Lena could do it?" Mrs. White asked.

"Mum!" Lena exclaimed. "Don't encourage him!"

"Yeah, I do," Sirius answered, ignoring Lena. "She's brilliant. With her, James and Remus, we could win the house cup again."

"Are you captain, Sirius?" Mrs White asked.

"No, James is," he said. "Speaking of Jamsie, I have to write back to him," he went on, and headed for the stairs.

"I'm going to write to Lilz," Lena said to her mum, and headed upstairs as well. She needed music, so she put on an Abba album. She hummed to herself as she wrote, and when Pinky had left with the letter, she turned around and jumped. Sirius was standing in the doorway.

"Do you always do that?" she asked. "You know, lurk in doorways to freak people out?" he grinned and nodded.

"Yes. I quite enjoy it, actually. Whatcha listening to?" he asked.

"Oh that. It's Abba, a Muggle band. I used to be a huge fan, but now it's fun to jump around to," she said.

"Can I come in?" he asked. She nodded, reached under her bed, and pulled out a bag.

"Fizzing Whizbee?" she asked, holding the bag out to him. He nodded and took one.

"I love these," he said hovering a few inches off the ground.

"Mmm … me too. When I was nine I ate a whole packet by myself. I didn't come down for three days," she said, hovering also. Lena began singing along to the music.

"There was something in the air that night,

The stars were bright,

Fernando.

They were shining there for you and me,

For liberty

Fernando."

By the time the song was nearly finished, Sirius was singing his own version.

"There was something in her hair that night,

Twas small and white,

Twas dandruff.

It was sitting there for you and me

For all to see

Twas dandruff."

Lena laughed, then joined in. when the song was over, they both collapsed with laughter.

"That – giggle – was – giggle – so – giggle – funny – giggle!" Lena said.

"Thanks," Sirius said.

"Lena, Sirius, dinner!" Mrs White called from downstairs. They ran down to the kitchen, still laughing.
