Chapter 59
Remus and James had been quiet all morning, feeling as though a part of them was missing with Sirius in the hospital wing and without his sight. Then suddenly that part of them wondered over to the Gryffindor table wearing horribly mismatched socks, and with McGonagall's hand on his shoulder.
"Sirius!" James cried.
"Hi James." Sirius replied as McGonagall guided his hands to the table.
Sirius sat down with a small degree of difficulty and began to speak with Lily and Yvonne while McGonagall took James and Remus aside for a word.
"On of you will have to accompany him at all times to make sure he doesn't trip down the stairs or anything silly like that." she said.
"We'll take care of him." James stated calmly as Remus nodded.
When McGonagall had left, James and Remus turned to Sirius. Sirius was dopily trying to cut a piece of bacon. Yvonne was giggling and Lily was looking murderous. Remus took the knife and fork from Sirius and began to cut his breakfast for him.
"So, what's wrong with your eyes?" James asked.
"I'm blind, you numbskull!" Sirius snapped.
"You know what I meant." James said calmly.
Sirius shrugged. "Pomfrey couldn't figure out exactly what caused it, but she said that there's a chance that I'll get my sight back."
James sighed with relief.
"In the meantime," Sirius continued with a grin, "I get to annoy the hell out of you two!"
Remus and James groaned loudly. Remus shoved Sirius' plate over and put the fork in his hand. "It's all cut up now."
"Thanks."
Sirius stabbed blindly with the fork at the space in front of him, missing his plate completely and upsetting the goblet of pumpkin juice that sat next to it. Remus sighed and took out his want to clean up the mess, then poured out some more pumpkin juice for him. James put a hand around Sirius' wrist and moved it so that the fork stabbed a piece of egg. Sirius forced a grin.
"Ah! Success!" he cried, shoving the egg into his mouth.
They repeated this routine until Sirius threw down his fork in frustration.
"I hate this." he said moodily.
"Is it annoying then?" James asked innocently.
Sirius glared in James' general direction. "Thankyou Captain Obvious!" (Sploogal and Gnome: Hehe... Britty-Bum's input there...)
Just then, James and Remus saw Helga leave the Ravenclaw table and head in their direction. They exchanged glances.
"Come on," said Remus. "Let's go and get your books, Sirius. We have charms first."
Sirius looked confused for a second before he smiled and replied, "Ok Mr Walking-Timetable."
"Shut up." Remus said half-heartedly.
The three of them got up and James led Sirius out of the Hall with Remus trailing closely behind. As soon as they had exited the hall (according to James), Sirius felt something, or rather, someone collide with him.
"Oof!" Sirius gasped.
"Of Sirius! I just heard – I'm so sorry!" the person sniffed, hugging him tightly around the waist.
"Steph! I can't breath!" Sirius rasped. (Sploogal: Sirius gasped, then he rasped? My eye is about to start twitching... Damn you Gnome!)
"Sorry." she stepped back, allowing Sirius to catch his breath.
"I'm fine." Sirius said with a grin. "Thanks Baldy."
Steph grinned back at him. "Anytime Pinky."
"Not fair! I'm blind – I get to do the insulting!" Sirius whined.
"Oh well. Tough luck." she began to walk away, but stopped and turned around. "Pinky."
"What would we do without your dear little sister?" Remus asked.
Sirius shook his head, laughing.
A/N We only have the next three chapters written, so we'll try to get those up in the next couple of weeks. After that it'll probably be a while before you get more updates. We are very close to the end of this fic, so keep reviewing and we'll keep updating.
Sploogal: Yeah it's what, about 10 chapters away now?
Gnome (Nodding): Sounds about right.
Sploogal (Rubbing hands together): You're agreeing with me?
Gnome (Nodding): Sounds about right.
Sploogal (Glaring): Are you just saying that?
Gnome (Nodding): Sounds about right.
Sploogal (Lobbing large, ugly, heavy, evil chemistry textbook at Gnome): Take that!
Gnome (Ducking and running): Argh!
Sploogal (Grinning): Now that that problem is taken care of, thanks to all of you beautiful people who reviewed! Please do so again! We're addicted to your lovely comments. We've almost hit the 500 mark! Yay!
Graceful Lily – Yeah, that is logical. I put it down to magic.
power-of-the-lightning-bolt – We haven't gone any more AU than we already were after the release of book five. We promise. (Cue evil grins...) Sorry, we can't just tell you what happens. That would be cheating. We can tell you that the final chapter ends with a death though. (Evil grins in full effect... Now.)
Blacksgirl – Possibly.
ChaosLightning13 – Yes, Sploogal did the fainting part. She has a mortal fear of injections, so getting immunisations is always fun. She knows what fainting is like.
Nutella – Yay! You reviewed! Sploogal: Sorry. I can't promise to keep my hands off James. Gnome: But Sirius is cool!
For those of you who read "How to Annoy Lord Voldemort" and have been wondering about a sequel: A sequel is still a little while off. I'd like to go through it and edit it to make it adhere to the rules of grammar and spelling and whatnot before I even think about a sequel. Sorry.
