A/N: This was originally supposed to be chapter two, because I was going by this order thingy, but then no one was reading the story so I didn't bother to type it up right away. Then I couldn't find it, but I found it so yay.

Disclaimer: I hold ownership of a lot of things, but Harry Potter is not one of them.

In The Memory Of

Chapter Three

Siriusly Serious

'Wow', thought Sirius Black while looking in the bathroom mirror, 'Am I ever orange'?

How the young wizard got to be this way he didn't rightly know, but he was defiantly orange. His entire body was orange, from feet to face; his once pale skin was now a vibrant tangerine orange. He didn't really know what to do about his sudden orangeness.

'I really don't know what to do about this sudden orangeness'

What did I tell you, Sirius Black knew not what to do?

'My whole self is bright orange, it's such a mystery', He squinted his eyes at the orange reflection of him, 'Oooo I should find out the mystery… this will be fun, I could find clues, network data, and collect stool samples… okay maybe not stool samples, but it's a possibility'

If you are lost to the inside the head conversations between Sirius Black and himself, them let me go back to the night before. Sirius was most definitely sure that whatever had happened to his skin had started the night before. The beginning is always a good place to start, and then maybe you'll understand.

It all started (so we speculate) at Ten pm the night before in the Gryffindor common room. He had just stepped through the portrait whole, returning from a date with a fifth year Hufflepuff girl. Sirius liked dating Hufflepuff girls, because as he said, it was a house full of desperate girls willing to believe anything. Infact, I am most certain that that was what he had been thinking about as he stepped through the portrait hole.

'Damn that girl was hot, Emma… something… oh well, I love Hufflepuff girls, they're so easy, well maybe not easy (not in a slutty way), but they're so trusting, they'll believe anything. Gullible… yeah that's what they are they're gullible. Wow, I'm really being insensitive, I mean she was just a fifth yea',He bent down noticing a loose shoe lace, tying it while getting back on his track of training thoughts, 'Maybe I should stop being such a… what's that word that Lily uses all the time… a player or something. That's it from this point on Sirius Black will stop being the breaker of fifth year Hufflepuff hearts… I'll move on to sixth year hearts… yeah that sounds right.'

When Sirius rose from his shoe, and got his first real look at the common room, the sight he saw would be emblazed in his minds eye for all eternity.

"HOLY FUCKING MERLIN… I'M GOING TO SULLIED FOR LIFE, MY EYES, I NEED TO BURN MY EYES, WHERE IS THAT SPARE BOTTLE OF HOLY WATER… WHERE IS IT"

"Oh Sirius, your back", his messy black haired friend greeted him from a rather promiscuous position with a certain red headed vixen.

Sirius had just walked in on his best friend and his "not so innocent anymore" girlfriend Lily Evens having a late night snogfest.

'Right there, in the middle of the common room, for al to see', thought Sirius angrily, ignoring the fact that before he had interrupted them they had been alone.

It was at that moment that Sirius Black developed a nervous eye twitch.

" Potter, Evens, please remember that there are other people on this planet that don't wish to see you try to eat each others faces", Sirius stated, while his eye twitched vigorously.

James Potter looked at his best friend, a goofy lopsided smile on his face, "Well if you don't want to watch it then why don't you just leave", and with that the happy couple went back to sucking face (although it probably wasn't like porn show quality or anything, Sirius just thought it was).

Sirius made an angry rude gesture and started to head up to the boys dormitory. It wasn't that Sirius wasn't glad that James finally got a girlfriend he actually liked it was her. Lily Evens, the school's resident teachers pet. You couldn't get away with anything around her. She was a horrid person in Sirius's mind. Okay so he agreed that she had a certain hotness factor (she was a redhead after all), but she was utterly annoying. In the back of his mind he knew that the main reason he was mad at Lily had to do with her being an obsessive-compulsive do-gooder. She gave Sirius two weeks of detention for absolutely nothing (okay so he dumped magic resistant ink in her hair). James was mad at him after that one, but it wasn't Sirius's fault that Jim's new girlfriend had no sense of humor, besides he had only done it to get back at the red haired temptress for enticing James to be late for this totally awesome prank they had planned to pull.

James had been a half hour late; because of a little snogging party he and Evens had that night. The timing was all off, and Filch caught them, gave them a ton of detentions, and to make matters worse he confiscated the Marauders map. It was all Lily Evans's fault; if she and James hadn't been snogging they would have gotten away with it. She was like Yoko Ono or something. James was letting his little girlfriend get in the way of serious business, and she was taking up way to much of his time. James never just hung out with the group anymore, and when he did it was always with Lily there. They couldn't talk about any "fun" stuff, or Lily would glare disapprovingly at them, and be all angry with James. She was totally breaking up the band, or maybe it was just him that felt this way.

Sirius got to his dormitory, and snuggled into his many warm blankets. His bitter thoughts of his friend's relationship with the enemy faded as sleep took its hold on him.

That night the young wizard Sirius Black had a blissful sleep. A sleep full of pleasant dreams, chock-full of fifth year Hufflepuff girls, pink sock puppets, and thousands and thousands of bunny rabbit squeak toys.

And bluegrass music

Sirius woke happy, and well rested. He was looking foreword to the day stretching ahead of him. He had completely forgotten about his issues with James and Lily the couple. He was craving toast and strawberry jam, and was a aggressively bright shade of tangerine orange.

I heart Sirius Black he's such a fun character to write. I was deeply saddened by his departure from the series, but it doesn't matter because I knew that I always had fanfiction.
