The Blushee

"Aww, come on Sirius, it can't be that bad." James said as he tried to convince me to tell him what was wrong.

I just glared at him in response.

"What's up mate?" Remus said as he sauntered in and took a seat at the Gryffindor across from James.

"Sirius here, refuses to open his mouth." James said and Remus turned to look at me.

"You're right. I haven't heard him say a word since, this afternoon in the common room."

"Maybe he can't. Maybe she silenced him." James thought.

"No that would be much too simple." Remus responded and James shrugged, then nodded in agreement.

"She could have made him-"

"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" I said after finally cracked. It was rather annoying to be spoken about like I wasn't sitting across the table.

They looked at me and then at each other. At the exact same time, they started laughing hysterically. I tried to silence them with a glare, but they only laughed harder.

"Did you hear…" James gasped between cackles.

"He sounded like a mouse." Remus replied, earning a new batch of laughs from James.

I sat there sulking at the table, as my two best friends continued to compare me to small and pathetic animals. I could feel my masculinity shrinking with their every word.

"What's going on?" Lily asked, as she and Nadia came and sat next to us at the table.

"I must say Nadia, that you are my new best friend," James said, "seeing as my old one, now sounds like a pixie."

Nadia joined in in the amusement and Lily sat there still completely clueless and confused. She looked around for an explanation. Remus took pity on her and shed light on my 'situation'. Soon the whole lot of them continued to laugh at my expense.

I looked in the mirror one final time; my hair was now about a golden color. It didn't look half bad, but I was still getting tired of being gawked at.

"You coming?" Lily called from outside the dormitory.

"Yes, give me a second." I shouted back. I grabbed my wand and tucked it in my pocket before heading down the stairs.

Lily smiled when she saw me and we walked out the portrait hole together. We were talking idly and then I remembered Sirius, and the little jinx I had put on him. I smiled and wondered if he had realized what had happened yet.

We walked in to see Remus and James laughing so hard that they were close to tears and figured that they must know. Lily asked what was happening and Remus gave her an explanation.

All the while, Sirius kept glaring at me. I smiled sweetly at him and said, "Something wrong Black?" He didn't reply, he only continued to shovel food in his mouth, whilst trying to think of ways to murder me I imagine. I shook my head, trying not to start laughing again.

------------------------------

Stupid Day. See, unlike her, I had no idea that I had been cursed. I had no idea that the day Courtney Roderick would come and ask me to be her date for our next Hogsmeade trip, would be the day I sounded like a house elf.

I had been minding my own business, reminiscing about how I had made dear, sweet Wednesday blush. When out of nowhere Roderick came and asked me be her date for Saturday.

I smiled my oh-so-charming smile and was about to reply with a smooth 'Of course love,' when I squeaked. And I mean, literally squeaked. I thought of course it was just something in my throat so I cleared it and tried again. A bit louder might I add.

Roderick apparently thought I was mocking her and gave me a look full of disgust and walked away. I tried to stop by shouting "Wait don't go!" But that did not really work out so well either, because of the whole voice-like-an-imp-thing. The only thing it did was make more prats in the corridor start laughing at me.

It is all her fault. She may call it revenge, but it how could it be revenge when I never did anything to her. Okay, so I turned her hair yellow, but if she had not been so annoying, I would not have had to take action.

Just wait I will get my revenge Nadia Bolton, just you wait.

I finished eating, quickly and told Lily that I needed to look something up for our Potions essay in the library before it closed.

"Nadia, honestly you're not done yet? I finished that ages ago." Lily said.

I rolled my eyes and answered "Well, not all of us start things the moment they are assigned, Mum."

Lily shook her head and I walked out of the hall and down the main corridor to the library. I gave a wave to Madame Rinx and walked to the back where I found an empty table. I was leafing through books, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

------------------------------

Perfect, I thought as Nadia excused herself to go to the library. Remus and Lily were in a deep conversation about books and things and James was too preoccupied with his thoughts of Lily to even notice my departure. I sauntered nonchalantly away from the table and took the long route to the library.

Yes, if it weren't for the trusty map I would never have found it that fine day in 4th year. I had heard rumors that there was such a place, but I had never actually seen it, not until we decided to research animagi that is. We then spent long and tiring days in the library looking through millions of thick books.

It was a lot of extra unnecessary schoolwork and such, but it was for good ol' Moony sake. Plus as Padfoot, I can climb up to the girls' dormitories undetected.

As I casually strolled into the library, I saluted the librarian Madame something-or-other and spotted Nadia in the back. I thought the element of surprise would be the best tactic and I lightly tapped her on the back.

She literally froze and let out an ear piercing scream.

For what reason? I have honestly no idea.

I hate surprises. I hate them with a passion, so when Black put his rough hand on my delicate shoulder I screamed.

When I finished screaming I turned around and saw that it was only Black.

"Don't do that!" I snapped at angrily at him. He didn't reply and started gesturing to his throat. I realized he was trying to get me to change his voice back.

I smiled slyly. "No can do Black. The spell will wear off when my hair is back to normal… Of course there is a chance that it might be even longer."

He frowned and grabbed my bag from the table, pulled out a piece of parchment and dug through his robes for a quill. He then quickly jotted something down and handed it to me. It read:

'I think I might have found a date for Lily.'

"Oh really and who might that be." I asked him, not sure if should trust his taste. He grabbed the piece of parchment back and wrote:

'His name is Amos Diggory. He is in Ravenclaw and he is really quite a prick.'

I let out a laugh. I knew exactly who Sirius was talking about. Amos was a Ravenclaw prefect. He had been horrified when James had been made Head Boy instead of him. He made quite a scene on the Hogwarts Express our first day back. Lily didn't know him very well and he wasn't physically deformed or anything, if fact he could even be considered attractive.

"He's perfect."

------------------------------

I smiled, I was proud of my good work. I had found Lily's date, now all we needed to do was pick the lucky lady who would go out with James. Nadia said that she had someone in mind and would go talk to her. That was fine with me. I had done my share of the job.

I decided to stay a while and we started talking, well she was talking I was staring at her and writing something occasionally. She was very pretty. When she laughed the gold flecks in her eyes shined brightly.

"Oh my! It is really late and I still have to finish this essay." She stood up to leave and turned to me, "Thank you Sirius." Then she gave me a peck on the cheek and hurried from the room.

My face felt hot. This has never happened to me before. I make girls and even Professors blush all the time, but I myself had never experienced this. I don't think like being the blushee.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Hello my faithful Readers! Okay so this chapter wasn't exactly quick either, but it did come sooner than the last one. Alright I think that by the next chapter I will start to get into James and Lily's dates, that should be fun.

Did I mention how happy it make me to get reviews so make sure to just scroll down just a tad and leave a comment. Any little comment is appreciated! Also for those of you who have yet to visit my authors' page, my email is so please email me suggestions, thoughts, ideas anything!

Alright, I have many mixed opinions for you all some want Nadia's and Sirius' names before their section and other like the surprise so I made a compromise.

Surprise lovers go straight to the review box and skip this. For those of you who hat being confused. The spacing between the sections should clear it up.
