yay! sorry it has been so long! I couldn't think of anything to write! Hope you like!
Sirius Black stumbled down the stairs of the sixth year dormitory, rapping his cloak around his shoulders as he went, blocking out the cold February draft. It was a few weeks after the skiing trip, and the students were all back at school.
"Prongs my mate? Have you seen my beauteous poncho anywhere?" He asked looking around sadly.
"Gladly not!" James replied turning back to Remus. "What was I saying? Oh yeah, so the chicken only crosses the road to get to the other side?"
"Yes! Finally!" Remus cried sounding relived.
"But why is that funny?" James asked looking confused. Remus let out an exasperated cry and raised his arms in defeat.
"My poncho is missing and all you can talk about is chickens?" Sirius looked angrily at his friends who merely looked at him.
"Where did you last have it?" said a voice coming through the portrait hole. Lily Evans stepped through and walked over to the group.
"In my school bag."
"You carry that old jumper around with you?" James laughed acknowledging his friends despair for the first time.
"Poncho you evil pureblood!" Sirius cried ignoring James's laugh.
"Evil pureblood? Who are your cousins again?"
"How dare you!" Sirius looked murderous. James realised that he had gone too far and apologised. Lily looked perplexed.
"Look, I'm sure we'll find it." Remus said comfortingly, as Sirius sank into a chair and put his arms around himself. James, feeling guilty, walked over and put an arm around his friend's shoulders. It looked as though he was using every fibre of his being not to laugh at the situation.
"Sirius, why exactly do you love your poncho?" Lily asked.
Sirius looked mortally offended and took several deep breaths before answering in a shocked tone.
"Because I happen to value its friendship and comfort!"
James and Lily exchanged perplexed glances. Remus shrugged and looked away hiding a smile.
After a few excruciatingly quiet moments, Lily pointed out that it was time for lessons. Sirius reluctantly gathered his books and made his way over to the portrait hole where Remus was wailing in despair.
"But Remus!" James whined. "I don't get why the chicken is funny!"
"Well, that was a boring lesson!" James laughed as the students walked out of Slughorn's dungeon.
"I didn't understand it!" Peter whimpered, walking into Lily who was arranging a lunch appointment with the Professor.
"Sure Professor, I will see you tomorrow!" She smiled.
"Yes Lily m'dear! And don't forget, you are very welcome to bring a friend!" Professor Slughorn waved and winked in James's direction whose heart skipped a beat.
Remus chuckled as his friend proceeded to turn a bright shade of red. Lily smiled as his reaction and then noticed Sirius with a furious expression on his face.
"Aw, jealous Sirius?" she laughed but when he proceeded to glare in the other direction she walked over and looked in the direction her friend's head was facing.
"No- way!" she gasped looking at a young boy strutting down the corridor wearing none other than Sirius's beloved poncho.
"Sirius mate, isn't that your jumper?" Octavious asked walking up behind the group. Sirius growled in reply and started forward. Peter squealed and burrowed his head into Remus's chest who snorted disgustedly. Before any of the others could stop him, he had charged up to the young boy brandishing his fists as he went.
"You complete arse! Get it off before I permanently remove your cheeks, and I'm not talking about the ones on your face!" He cried. The boy laughed.
"I don't think so brother dear! It's much more fun watching you suffer!" He sneered tweaking a lose thread from the poncho as he spoke.
"Regulus Black if you don't take it off this instant…"
"You'll have us to answer to!" James roared shouldering his friend. Lily looked at the scene and for one second Remus could have sworn he was a look of admiration cross her face, but as quickly as it appeared it was replaced by a look of annoyance.
"Don't you dare sink to his level!" she said dangerously.
"You might be blind in your love for James, but my brother taking my favourite possession is something you have to be able to see!" Sirius rounded on her angrily. James watched as Lily blushed.
"Are you blushing Evans?" he asked her with a smile on his face.
"Only because he is so incredibly wrong that it's embarrassing!" she retorted blushing harder.
"Come on Evans, if you fancy me, you can just say so and I'll gladly take you to Slug's party!"
Lily looked furiously at James before smiling very sweetly and turning to Sirius.
"Perhaps, you are the blind one Sirius!" she said in a sweet voice. Gulping she continued.
"It is you, I have wanted all along!" The mouths on all of the boys dropped open in shock.
"Wh…What?" Sirius stuttered.
"You heard me!" she replied seductively, taking a step towards him. "I love the way your hair lays so smoothly, it's… cute. And erm… the way your eyes sparkle… and your laugh is very erm… manly!" She chanced a look at James who was watching the scene with a look of horror on his face. She felt a thrill of satisfaction course through her veins, leading her on. She raised a hand and pushed her fingers though Sirius hair who raised his eyes just as seductively.
"In that case, will I be receiving an invitation to your party?" He asked a smile playing on his lips. Lily nodded and leant forwards, planting a small kiss them.
Behind them, James snorted in disbelief and walked off, noting as he went Regulus swaggering off waving the poncho above his head in triumph.
