Chapter 5: A bit of silliness and a box of tissues

"BITCH!"

"FUCKING WHORE!"

"DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF!"

"WELL IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE! HOW CAN I NOT?"

"What's all that about?" Sirius asked glancing at the stairs to the girls dorms.

"The daily Sawyer-Caprice confrontation." Ariana sighed as she ran her hand through her long brown hair.

"Should we go stop it?" Lily asked.

"Does this ever resort to actual fighting?" James asked

"Sometimes, remember in fourth year when Caprice had a black eye and Sawyer had scratch marks on her face?" Ariana asked

"Yeah…" Remus said slowly

"That would be their first fight." Lily informed as she put her red hair up in a pony tail.

"Awesome lets go!" James said heading towards the staircase.

"No! Stop where you are! Trust me you do not want to go up there." Lily warned.

"Hell yeah we do!" Sirius said excitedly.

"No, last time we tried to stop them they were throwing things at each other I got hit with a shoe." Ariana said

"Unfortunately Caprice got the worst of it, you know because Sawyer's a chaser." Lily said.

Suddenly there was silence and a door slammed. Sawyer stormed down the stairs, red in the face, muttering.

"Oh my god! You didn't kill her did you?" Lily asked.

"No, I should though." Snapped Sawyer plunking herself down on a chair.

"Why is it silent?" Ariana asked.

"I don't know; she was choking when I left." Sawyer said moodily.

"What?" Remus exclaimed.

"I don't know, I threw something at her giant head, but I was so angry I missed and it hit her throat."

"Maybe someone should go check on her." Peter asked.

"Why? She'll still be there. She's like the plague, she won't go away." Sawyer scowled as she pushed her light brown hair out of her face.

"Why don't you try being nice to her?" Ariana suggested.

"Because I don't like her, I don't see how you can even trust the manipulative bitch."

"She's not that bad." Peter said.

"Well then you just have to learn to ignore her." Ariana said

They heard footsteps coming down the girls' dorm stairs again and saw a flushed Caprice appear rubbing her throat; her silver bracelet jingling from the movement. Sawyer just glared at the girl and stayed silent.

Caprice glowered at Sawyer and sat down next to Ariana and started twirling her pinky finger around a strand of her blond hair. After a few moments of silence Peter said nervously "So, uh, James, when is the next Quidditch practice?"

"Umm…Thursday, why?"

"I like to be informed of these things. You know so I don't come up here and everyone's down there and stuff." Peter said lamely, trying to get a conversation flowing.

"Yeah well we have to get those new players trained and stuff. Traci's an amazing seeker but we still need to train her up a bit." James said "And Sirius, I know it's very hard to control you're anger but you cannot throw your bat at Corey Daniels."

"Who's that?" Lily asked.

"He came and tried out for beater but Emilie got the position and he didn't like that so much; he started yelling about sabotage or something." Sirius said.

"Sabotage?" Ariana raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, my bat might have hit the bludger a little hard when I sent it to him." Sirius said.

"A little?" James said incredulously, "you hit it so hard I'm surprised it didn't go right through the castle wall!"

"Why did you hit it so hard?" Lily said.

"Well I didn't like his attitude that much." Sirius said defensively.

"More like he didn't like that Corey told Sirius his hair made him look like a girl." James corrected.

"I have very manly hair!" Sirius argued. "And what about you? He told you that your hair looked like the monster that was under his bed!"

"Well I didn't react like you did."

"Yes you did! Let the bludger get free again when he put his bat down!"

"James!" Lily said in shock, "You didn't, did you?"

"The little bastard deserved it." James grumbled.

At that moment they all looked as they heard the portrait swing open and Corey Daniels walked in. He gave Sirius and James a look then continued up towards the boy's dorms. Once he was out of sight the group burst out laughing.

The next day Ariana was sitting by the fire in the common room in relative silence trying to prepare for the transfiguration quiz after lunch.

"Hey Ariana?"

"What? I'm studying!"

"Wannamakeout? Sirius asked quickly, looking rather pleased with himself

"What?"

"Wannamakeout?"

"You get stranger every day." Ariana said, turning back to her books

"You didn't answer my question." Sirius whined

"No!" she said bluntly while looking over her Transfiguration notes

Sirius looked disappointed, "I'll just go ask someone else then."

"Have fun with that." Ariana said smirking

Just at that moment, the portrait hole opened and Sawyer walked into the common room returning from the great hall. Sirius grinned and walked over to her.

"Thanks for waiting for me." Sawyer said sarcastically

"Hey Sawyer?" Sirius asked

"What Sirius?"

"Wannamakeout?"

"Do I want to what?"

"Wannamakeout?"

Sawyer gave him a confused look, then turned around, and walked back out of the common room. Ariana chuckled at the scene, "I don't think you'll have any takers Sirius."

"We shall see." He said, amused

They both heard footstep and turned to see Caprice walked down from the girl's dorms. Sirius grinned and walked over to her.

"Hey Caprice?"

"Yes?"

"Wannamakeout?"

"Langlock!" Caprice shouted as she pointed her wand at Sirius. Suddenly Sirius' tongue shot up to the roof of his mouth; sticking to it like glue. Sirius mumbled something and looked rather offended. Ariana and Caprice laughed. After a while, Ariana pointed her wand at Sirius and muttered the counter curse.

"That was rude." Sirius whined

"Ariana, you might want to get a muzzle for this mutt." Caprice said, looking amused

"Hey!" Sirius said indignantly

Once again the portrait door swung open. Remus and Peter walked into the common room, holding some books.

"Where are James and Lily?" Ariana asked

"They are still in the library, the prefect meeting just finished, but Margie Barker is talking to them; they will be up in a minute." Remus replied

"Hey Moony?" Sirius said with a mischievous smile

"What Padfoot?" Remus responded

"Wannamakeout?"

'Not again.' Remus thought, "Yes Padfoot lets go make out right now." Remus said sarcastically

"Well, if that's what you really want, come here big boy!" Sirius replied, joking

"Maybe next time…" Remus said trying to hide a smile, then went to sit on the couch, next to Ariana.

"We're back. " James said as he and Lily entered the common room.

Sirius smirked then asked, "Lily?"

"What Sirius?"

"Wannamakeout?"

"Well, if you really want to…" Lily replied, amused. Everyone laughed.

"Hey! You can't talk to my girl like that." James said protectively

"I'm not your girl Potter." Lily explained once again

"One day you will be, my dear." James said happily

Lily just shook her head and sighed.

"So is that a no?" Sirius asked

"Yes that's a no!" James responded for her

"Okay…okay…but James, can I ask you something?"

"What Sirius?"

"Wannamakeout?" All the friends laughed.

"Maybe later, we have to go to Transfiguration now." James said, smiling

Remus, Lily, James, Sawyer, Caprice, Sirius, Ariana and Peter arrived at their transfiguration class just in time. Sirius took his normal seat, next to James. Ariana sat next to Sawyer, Remus sat with Peter and Lily sat with Caprice.

Professor McGonagall started to explain what the class would be doing for the quiz that day, while Brody handed out the quizzes.

"Today we will be transforming desks into owls after we are finished with our quiz. You will have to pay full attention to this lesson, this will be very important for you N.E.W.T.S."

"Darn, how can I pay full attention to the lesson, I don't have any money with me." James whispered to Sirius. The comment made Sirius snort rather loudly.

"Is there a problem Mr. Black?"

"No professor, I'm fine but I do have a question." Sirius said. Sawyer and Ariana exchanged nervous looks. James smirked, knowing what was coming.

"Yes Mr. Black?"

"Wannamakeout?"

The whole class froze, waiting to see her response.

McGonagall sighed; she was getting too old for this, "Thirty points from Gryffindor, and a weeks detention for you Mr. Black." She said, and then continued talking about the quiz they would be taking momentarily.

"Oh, you know she wants me." Sirius whispered to James

"You're one of a kind Pads." James responded

Brody walked over to James and Sirius's desk and placed two quizzes on it.

Sirius whispered, "Hey Brody?"

"What Sirius?" Brody whispered back

"Wannamakeout?"

Brody just made a face and walked away. Then he turned back around to face them when McGonagall wasn't looking put his hand up to his face, making a fake phone then mouthed "Call me!"

Sirius and James tried to hide their laughter. McGonagall turned back around and shouted, "Mr. Potter! Mr. Black, is there a problem?"

"Nope, we are just peachy Minerva. Please continue with the lesson." James responded

"Mr. Potter you will be joining Mr. Black in detention this evening."

"Same time as usual? Should I bring some wine?" James asked mischievously

McGonagall ignored the comment and said, "You have twenty-five minutes to finish the quiz. You may begin."

Yeah! Chapter five. If you were wondering about the title, the tissues thing, we are both sick again. I have a cold and Jess is recovering from bronchitis.
