"You did great!" Regulus said, putting away the balls. Quidditch tryouts had just finished.

"If I did so great why won't you tell me if I made the team, Mr. captain?" I asked, frustration seeping out of every word. Regulus had been captain of the Slytherin team since last year. He really was a brilliant seeker.

"Because, that wouldn't be fair. You have to wait, just like everyone else," He struggled to put a bludger away.

"Wanker. Why can't you tell meeeeee. I'm your best friend," I whined. I thought I did pretty good at tryouts, if I do say so myself.

"God you're so pushy. Go smoke something from the greenhouse or something," He waved me away with his hand.

"Fine. Maybe I will," I walked away, a small grin on my lips. I can't believe I did as well as I did, figuring my thoughts have been else where for the past few days. I hate to admit it, but I have been thinking a lot about my almost kiss with Sirius in detention. Though, I would never admit to that under the wand point of Voldemort himself, and I know that he is a skilled legimens.

"Be that way!" I heard him shout from behind me. I walked off the pitch, finding myself thinking about the almost kiss once again. He ignored me after that detention. Completely, one hundred percent, ignored me. Not even a smile or nod in the hall, though I think one time he was glaring at me, but he could have been glaring at Reg. I don't know. I watched the sunset dip past the horizon, making the sky a pretty blur of purple, reds, and oranges. Definitely not as beautiful as a sunrise. Just saying. Maybe it meant nothing to Sirius, and it was just a fluke or my imagination. I don't even know why I care so much. I'm Jade Potter. I have no heart or soul. And I definitely did not fancy Sirius.

A few stiff drinks later

"For fuckssake Jade, when I said to go smoke something, I didn't really mean it." Regulus found me in the kitchens, happily drinking away my thoughts. Being intoxicated was always the answer. For a while it could solve your problems anyways.

"I didn't smoke anything Reggiekinz," I said giggling. He cringed at the hated nickname, that only I had could get away with. "I'm just a little tipsy, that's all."

"A little tipsy my ass. You're pissed," He shook his head as he helped walk me out of the kitchen. I stumbled over the little house elves. They were so cute, in a big eyes and nose kind of way.

"House elves are so cute," I said to Reg. Where were we?

"Even the ones whose heads are on the walls at my house?" He said smirking.

"Yeah…" I hiccupped as we walked back to the common room.

"Why did you even get wasted in the first place? Is it because of me?" He looked truly concerned. Why did I get drunk in the first place? Hmmm…ummm…..

"Sirius!" I finally concluded. That bastard wouldn't talk to me!

"What did the bastard do? I'll kill him if he laid a single finger on you," He looked infuriated. Oh…maybe I shouldn't of told him? Hmm….Sirius has a pretty face, did you know that? I need to go talk to him.

"I need…to talk to him." I said, running towards the Gryffindor common.

"Jade, wait!" He ran after me, catching up quickly. Him and his bloody long legs, and my short ones.

"Let me go Regulus!" I said angrily.

"No! Tell me what Sirius did to you," He said sternly, like a parent almost. Haha, my parents think I'm a failure. Oh well, they can go suck bollocks.

"Regulus Aquarius Black. Let. Me. Go." I said childishly.

"My middle name is not Aquarius!" He let out an exasperated cry. Regulus doesn't deserve all the shit I do.

"I knowwwwww….but it would be so much cooler if it was." I said, giggling. Where was I supposed to be going? Oh yeah, Gryffindor common room, to see Sirius with the pretty eyes. I elbowed Regulus in the stomach and took off running again. "Sorry, love!" I yelled over my shoulder.

"Good God. Drunk Jade is a monster," I heard him mumble to himself as he slowly got up. I sprinted off towards where Sirius should be. I slowed down a little when I was sure Regulus couldn't find me. I stumbled through the hallways, laughing at the silly pictures. Did you know they moved? Crazy, I know.

"Jade?" I turned around at the sound of my name. I grinned, seeing Sirius alone.

"I need to talk to you, mister." I shook a finger at him, like I was a serious parent scolding their child. I couldn't help but giggle at that.

"Are you drunk?" He said, looking me over.

"I didn't smoke anything at the greenhouse, I swear!" I told him. "I'm just a little bit tipsy, that's all."

"If you're a little bit tipsy, it would be something to see you completely wasted," He said. "You should get back to your common room, it's late." He started walking towards his common room. Oh hell no, I did not run all the way here for nothing.

"No, I did not just elbow Reggie in the gut for you to walk away." I slurred my words. He laughed that bark like laugh of his.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked.

"You're ignoring me," I started. "I don't know what that was back in detention, if it was almost a kiss or not. I don't even know why I even care, because to be honest, I've always thought that Lupin was cuter then you." I let the word vomit flow, and I had no intention to stop. "So I guess I just want to know, because I don't like petty things occupying my thoughts. Speaking of petty things, your eyes are petty. I mean pretty," I hiccupped as I finished my thoughts. Then everything went black.

"Sirius, what are you doing on the floor? I thought we agreed none of your whores are allowed in here when the rest of us are?" I heard my brother's voice. Holy shit, does he have to talk so loud. What the hell was I doing last night, and why was I in Sirius Black's bed? Oh. My. God. Did we sleep togehter? I panicked quickly, but then realized I still had clothes on. That still didn't explain why I was Sirius's bed. My head pounded with a massive hangover headache.

"She was passed out, and I couldn't just leave her," Sirius responded calmly.

Good God, he found me passed out. I thought back to last night. I remember bickering with Reg about quidditch, and then drinking myself out of my mind, and I think I elbowed Regulus in the stomach, and then I can't remember. I giggled softly at the memory of elbowing him in the stomach. Why did I even do that? Drunk Jade is a violent Jade.

"Who is it?" I heard James ask. Fuck.

"Umm…" Sirius thought of the right words to say. The bed hangings flew open, and oh my fucking hippogriffs, the light. That certainly did not help the hangover.

"Fucking light...make it stop," I muttered as I looked at my brother, who's face was purple with rage. It reminded me a lot of Slughorn, which made me giggle a bit.

"You! Why are you here? What the hell do you think you're doing!" James yelled at me. Yelling is not good for hangovers. I need him to use his inside voice ASAP.

"Would you quiet down? I have a hangover the size of Europe," I said, but he didn't hear me. He turned to Sirius and started going off on him.

"Why would you sleep with my baby sister! She's just a kid, Sirius! She's not just one of your whores that you can just fuck for a night...she's my sister oh my god, that is my sister. What were you thinking? Wait you weren't thinking! I cannot believe this, you crossed the line Sirius." He looked beyond frustrated, and even though his yelling intensified my headache, it didn't matter, because for the first time in years, my brother was standing up for me. Even if it was for a totally incorrect scenario.

"I don't believe I slept with him. But I honestly can't remember what happened last night," I spoke softly, I was kind of in awe my brother was treating me like a little sister should be treated. So all this time, to get him to be a big brother, I just had to pretend to sleep around with his friends. If only I had known that long ago…I would of gladly pretended to shag Lupin, or just actually shag Lupin.

"I didn't sleep with her. If you would listen to me, I said I found her passed out in the hallway, and I wasn't going to leave her there," Sirius replied, calmly, but I could tell he was lying. I can always tell when someone is lying.

"Oh." My idiot bothered believed his lie. Sigh.

"You were drinking!" James turned back to me. Bloody hypocrite.

"Where have you been since I don't know, fourth year? And you're a bloody hypocrite, you've been getting plastered since about second year," I said. He needed to turn down the volume, my head was killing me.

"Well that's different. You're not as responsible as me." Who does he think he is? He can't scold me for underage drinking.

"Not as responsible as you?" I said angrily. I could feel my temper rising. "If I do remember correctly, you were the one who vomited on the minister when you were in fifth year because you were drunk out of your mind at our Christmas party." His face turned red, and Sirius let out a laugh.

"Traitor." He glared at Sirius.

"Mate, you have to admit. That was hilarious." I nodded in agreement. Oh my gosh, this is the nicest conversation I've had with James in forever. It was nice, him tolerating me.

"Jade. You need to leave," He said coldly. Bipolar much?

"Okay brother dearest." I got out of Sirius's bed and walked towards the door. "I didn't know for you to acknowledge my existence,I just had to make it look like I was sleeping around with your best mates," I said as I sauntered out of the room. I laughed happily as I closed the door. I had forgotten about the hangover, but I felt it again alright.

"Bloody thing," I muttered as I walked down the stairs.

"Where the hell did you go last night?" Regulus demanded as I sat down next to him for breakfast. I had freshened up a bit, taken a hangover potion, but I could still feel the headache.

"If I could remember I would tell you." I said as I sat down next to my best friend. I looked at the table to see what was for breakfast. Gross, waffles.

"That's the last time you get plastered unsupervised," Reg shook his head and ate his (disgusting may I add) waffles. I don't even know why he eats waffles, does he not remember what happened last time he almost ate waffles! He would have had red and gold hair. Thick headed boy I tell you.

"Psh, I was fine. I can't really remember what happened, but I do remember elbowing you in the stomach." I laughed lightly and I ate my cereal.

"Yeah, you're a violent drunk, that hurt!" He whined.

"Pansy," I scoffed.

"You were convinced my middle name was Aquarius."

"I did?" That would be amazing if his middle name was Aquarius. "That would be so cool if it was!"

"You're just as bad sober as you are drunk," He rolled his eyes.

About a week later

Jesus Christ, Regulus is the tyrant of quidditch I swear. We had practice tonight, because we had a big game against Gryffindor in two days. We had practice in the evening, sometimes in the morning, and even during lunch! The boy is insane! And they are long practices too! I rolled out of bed and got ready quickly. I headed out to the lake, to watch the sunrise, like I always did. I watched the sky fill with color, a smile on my face. Sunrises make me happy.

"CANINUS!" I heard a voice yell and I could feel myself changing. I shrunk, and next thing I knew, I was a dog. Was someone implying I'm a bitch? Hmmm…but why the hell am I a puppy! I looked up at my transfigurer, Sirius flipping Black. I tried to yell at him, but it just came out as an angry bark. I heard laughing and looked up to see my brother. That git, oh he is going to pay for this.

"That is why you don't turn a man's hair pink," He stated as he picked me up. I tried bite his hand as he carried me towards the castle.

"You get to spend the day with us marauders!" Sirius said happily, like it was a good thing. I snarled at him angrily. "Don't be like that Jade, so many girls would kill to be in your place." This just made me snarl more.

"James, where did you get the dog?" Evans asked, raising an eyebrow as we walked into the great hall. Wait a second, why was she not calling him Potter? As far as I knew she hated him as much as he hates me. Unless she finally decided to give him a chance. Merlin's pants Lily, don't give him a chance! It will just make his head even bigger!

"It's Remus's." Sirius supplied. Remus looked up from his book he was reading and shot Sirius a questioning look. I looked at him with pleading eyes, wasn't Remus the sensible one? Evans's eyes narrowed.

"Oh yeah, what's her name?" She asked.

"Fluffy!" James said happily. WHAT! I screamed in my head (in all capital letters, bold, italics, and underlined mind you) as I let out a small yelp. He transfigures me into a dog and then doesn't even give me an original name! James sat down, keeping me in his lap, as he pilled food onto his plate. Speaking of food, I was hungry. I put my tiny paws on the table, looking for something to eat.

"Here you go," Sirius shoved a piece of waffle at my face. Oh what the bloody hell you house elves, waffles again? I pulled away from the repulsive food. I looked at the Slytherin table and saw Regulus looking for someone. I wonder who he was looking for…oh wait me. But I was stuck here, transfigured to be Remus's puppy. Fan bloody tastic.

Author's Note

Sorry for the long wait. Break is over, and I am back to the real word, doing real stuff, like Earth Science homework (gross I know. Ironic that my teachers name is Mr. Gross. xD) and Spanish midterms. So, updates will be slower ): Thank you x1000 to my reviewers, you guys are my favorites. I feel bad, because I have been putting zero effort into The Shipped Gold Standard, because I have been spending all my writing time on this. I'll try harder to work on both stories equally. No promises though D:

Author's Note 2.0

I promise, I will finish this story even if it kills me.
