Sorry it took so long to update this – my bad  But it's here now and I hope you like it.
A/N Please remember Minerva is the same age as the gang – thankies!

Minerva took her seat in the Great Hall, just as she was about to pull in her chair, Sirius came behind her and pushed it in for her. He smiled at her, but quickly went to find Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, James not too far behind him. They all gathered in a huddle, but poor Peter was squashed to bits by the end of it. Minerva took in her surroundings, she just loved being back at Hogwarts. The golden plates and cutlery was all laid out, the banners were flying with the Hogwarts logo on it and the ceiling was once again a vision of the night sky, tonight was particularly lovely as there was just a hint of pink in the sky as the sun made its final leap.

The new students were sorted fast and efficiently by the sorting hat, and in turn the feast began. The food was plenty and pleasant, everyone was enjoying it and making chit chat in between bites. Lily was talking to James about classes they had together, Remus and Sirius were muttering about something under there breaths and Peter was making grunting noises as he guzzled down his food and pumpkin juice. That was not a pretty sight, Minerva always felt sorry for that boy, and he just never seemed to fit in with that crowd, a little like herself.

Just then a greasy haired boy with a long crooked nose jumped up from his seat with a scream, he looked around him frantically to see the source of the pain. If he had looked a little further he would have seen Sirius and Remus sniggering and putting there wands away.

"Two hours into the start of term and we got him Oh Yeah!" said Sirius as he high fived Remus. Minerva found this behaviour appalling and would not stand for it; she had to do something, but what? She quickly got out her wand and put a charm on Sirius and Remus. Sirius and Remus both stood up at the same time and looked at each other. Their hands had been painted red, at first the thought it was blood, but it would not rub off and there was no wounds. Dumbledore surveyed the situation, and lowered his half moon spectacles at the scene.

"It seems as if Mr Black and Mr Lupin have been caught red handed, please apologise for whatever you done to Mr Snape and ten points will be taken from Gryffindor. Well it seems as if you've had quite enough excitement for one night, prefects please lead the way to your common rooms. Thank you." Dumbledore sat down and took another sip of his cup. Sirius was furious, but worst of all, he knew who done it. After most people had departed from the Hall, he grabbed Minerva by the arm and glared at her. He was hurting her arm but she didn't want to show her pain so she just tried to shrug him off.

"Why the hell did you grass us in, what have we ever done to you! Eh? Seriously what?" Sirius was yelling quite loud and most people who had just went into the Entrance Hall turned back to listen.

"I have nothing against you, just your silly little jokes! You could get someone hurt one day!" She was angry now, she was never angry, ever. Sirius looked at her with the same look as he would give Snape.

"We would never do it to someone who doesn't deserve it, that grease ball has it coming, he thinks he's all that because he's friends with that stupid Malfoy kid. Their cruel and conceited!" Now it was Sirius's turn to get heated up. His face was red and he was practically spitting out the words. Minerva knew she was about to regret saying the thing she said next, but she said it anyway, because being Minerva she had to win the argument.

"Then you's aren't that different are you! You torture them, just as much as you do, and don't tell me you don't look in the mirror like twenty times a day!" With that last word she yanked her arm free and run up to her room in tears. Sirius was left with a small pain in his chest and a room of on-lookers.

Minerva lay in her bed thinking about what had just happened. Why did she feel so bad about what she had done, was it because he were so nice to her before. Could it be because she knew that Snape was a silly little boy who, was obsessed with the dark arts and would never stick up for her. After an hour or too she decided to apologise in the morning.

Next Chapter will hopefully be up tomorrow – thanks for reading reviews appreciated!
