Sploogal: What do you mean 'no'?
Gnome: I mean no.
Sploogal: No?

Chapter 55 (is finally here!)
When Sirius awoke the next morning, he was alone in the dorm. He yawned, stretched, and looked at the clock on his bedside table.
"Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot! They're gonna kill me!"
"Who's going to kill you?" asked a female voice from not too far away. "It's a Saturday you know. You don't have any classes."
Sirius jumped out of bed and turned to face the door where Lily was standing. She gasped when she saw his face.
"What happened to you?" she cried.
Sirius put a hand to his face and let out a nasty word as his fingers made contact to the space below his left eye. He turned around to look in the mirror and found that he had two black eyes and bruises on his cheeks.
"Man, that James can really pack a punch!" he muttered more to himself than to Lily.
"James did that?" Lily asked, shocked.
"Yeah, I'm not that good, am I?" James asked as he came out of the bathroom.
He walked up to Sirius and peered closely at his face.
"What? Inspecting your handy-work?" Sirius asked with a laugh.
"Yup." James replied absently. "We should probably pay a visit to the hospital wing. I've got a few bruises of my own to take care of." he gestured at a large, swollen looking bruise that covered one side of his face.
"I'm glad I didn't see this fight." Lily mumbled.
James and Sirius grinned and slung their arms about each other's shoulders. They walked past Lily, singing at the top of their lungs.
A/N Yeah, we realise that chapter wasn't very worthwhile. To keep you entertained until the next instalment, we will tell you that in about two chapters time, one of the main characters will go completely blind. Can you guess who and why? Maybe you can guess who, but I doubt you'll figure out why. I mean, we didn't even know why until about five chapters after it happened. Sure, we had a vague idea, but we couldn't put a name to it, you know?
I think I will say now that any time I refer to myself in an author's note, I am talking about me: Sploogal. Garden Gnome doesn't have anything to do with these notes. For some reason, she trusts that I will not fill them with obscenities and insults to all people who are not me. *shrugs* I don't understand it. She can't trust me not to write crude things on her hand/arm during chemistry and maths, but she lets me do the author's notes.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm too tired to bother going through and finding all of your names, but if there was anything that needed replying to, it will be taken care of next time we post. (we, meaning I, because as we all know, Garden Gnome types SLOWLY. Yes, that's right, Gnome. You type slowly. There. Now everyone knows. *pokes tongue out* *tongue is cut off by Gnome's Stanley-knife which, incidentally, is named Stanley*
I just realised that this authors note is about the same length as the chapter. *apologises profusely* Please don't send hate mail. I will start typing the next chapter immediately and attempt to get it posted tomorrow.
