Chapter 32

"SAVE ME!" A high-squealed pitch squeal flew from Sirius' mouth as he ducked behind the couch as a jinx was thrown towards him by the extremely angry Brittney Becard. He peeked his head over the edge and surveyed the room quickly, looking for the angry blonde.

Peter was sitting in a chair, completely oblivious to his surroundings. His mouth was agape in shock of the fact that a beautiful girl like Brittney could like him. Alaina was clutching her side as tears poured down her face in

her hilarity. Sirius scowled as girlfriend did nothing to help him out of his strange predicament. Remus was joining Alaina in her laughter. Alyssa was quite content with rolling her eyes as their extreme behavior.

James, however, being the best friend that he was, was furiously trying to help Sirius. He had already cast two spells at Brittney, which thankfully missed her. James however was at the moment distracted by Lily's yells of why James was a horrible person for jinxing people who had never done anything to him. Yet there was Lily's best friend, hexing Sirius for no particular reason.

"Tarantallegra!" Sirius gasped as the spell hit him from behind. In his hasty look around the common room at everyone, he had failed to notice Brittney sneak behind him, causing him to be sent into this awkward dance. Brittney came around and stood in front of him, her hands placed on her hips and a triumphant smirk on her face.

"Well, Mr. Black," Brittney muttered. Though Sirius knew he should have been frightened, he wasn't as he was trying his best just to keep his balance. He grabbed the back of the sofa and tried to hoist himself of the ground but his plan failed miserably. He looked to James for help, but he was still arguing with Lily and did not realize what was going on. Alaina had collapsed to the floor, as she was laughing too hard to stand. Remus, was clutching the arm chair and nearly joined Alaina on the ground. "Have you had enough, yet?" Brittney said as she tapped Sirius'

shoulder gently with her forefinger. Sirius' knees buckled and he fell on his back, with his legs sticking up awkwardly. He felt like a stranded turtle.

From his spot on the ground, he glared up at Brittney, clearly defiant. "Never, Miss. Becard. You will have to torture me till the end of time!" Alyssa walked over and stood next to Brittney, her brown hair was pulled up into an elegant bun.. Sirius could easily tell what Remus saw in the girl, but he had Alaina of course. Sirius hoped that would not change anytime soon.

"What are you going to do to the poor bloke?" Alyssa said, as she ducked one of Sirius' flailing feet. He was extremely thankful that he had not kicked her in the face, as Remus would have killed him, and that would not be good for Sirius in the slightest.

"Uncle." Brittney said with a smirk and Alyssa laughed. Sirius had no idea what 'uncle' was, but if it could make Brittney smirk like that, it defiantly scared him.

"What precisely is this 'uncle?'" Sirius asked in a worried tone. Brittney's smile grew larger if that was even possible. "Is this someone I have to meet?" Remus started laughing harder and Alaina finally stumbled over to them, her bright blue eyes glowing in her happiness.

"Oh, don't do it, Britt'! He's a pureblood. He won't know what uncle is!" Sirius was starting get extremely worried. Whoever this 'uncle' was, it was rather obvious that Alaina was worried that he would hurt Sirius. Sirius felt ecstatic over her concern, but it immediately faded when one of his flyaway legs kicked his girlfriend in the shin.

Alaina fell to the ground, and sent a mock glared at Sirius. He gulped and tried his best to turn over so he could crawl over to his girlfriend without her getting hurt. However, this failed and he moaned. "Are you ok, Alaina? I am so sorry. Its her fault!" Sirius snarled as he pointed at Brittney accusingly. She smiled smugly and waved her wand at him quickly.

"Rictumsempra!" Brittney said with a smile. Sirius let out shrieks of bark-like laughs that finally drew the attention of James. However, though James had come to help, he collapsed on his knees in laughter. Sirius was blushing as he realized that is screams sounded way to much like a girl's for him to be comfortable with. He was extremely uncomfortable with his legs still dancing awkwardly and of course the tickling sensations running through his body. He twitched and squirmed on the ground, and his eyes started to water from the peculiar feelings the tickling charm left him in.

Brittney stepped over him and smiled down at Sirius' sweaty face. "Say uncle." She said with a smirk. Sirius was sincerely confused. What did Brittney mean say uncle? Sirius asked this very question, but Alaina was the one who answered him.

"It's a form of mercy, Sirius. If you say uncle, then Brittney will lift the curses off of you. Yet, can you handle saying mercy to a girl?" Alaina sneered and blew a soft kiss at Sirius. He felt that this was one of the highest forms of torture. He, Sirius Black, could not give in to a mere girl! That was like Zeus agreeing to hand down his lightening bolts to a mortal! It was unfathomable!

"Never!" Sirius snarled as he twitched about. With a flick of her wand, Brittney had intensified the strength of both spells. Sirius giggled in such a high pitched voice, he swore that it was only available for dogs to hear. James rolled over in his laughter, and Lily scolded Brittney for the show that she was causing. Alyssa and Alaina were clutching each other in laughter and Remus was smirking comfortingly down at his best friend. Sirius made a mental note to get Remus later, for not helping, when he was the only one capable at standing at the moment.

"Say it, Black." Brittney said with a smirk. "Just say uncle and the torture will all be over. You can go off and snog my best friend, in a corner preferably." Sirius would have rolled his eyes, if the spells were not taking such a hold on his body.

"Nev-never!" Sirius snarled through his laughter and once again, Brittney flicked her wand . The magic level of the spell was too much for Sirius. His laughing stopped and he felt his face grow red. The world around him grew dark and the voices and laughter around him seemed distant. It was getting rather difficult for him to breath and the laughter around him immediately stopped as he let out choking sobs.

"SIRIUS!" Alaina shrieked in absolute horror. Brittney lifted the curses and stepped back, fear etched in her eyes. James and Remus knelt down next to Sirius as his breathing went back to normal. Alaina clutched him around the chest and squeezed him tightly.

"Sirius Black! Don't you ever do that to me again!" Alaina whispered and Sirius grimaced in pain. He put his weight on his elbows and glanced up at Brittney. She looked extremely pale and horrified. Surprisingly, Sirius did not blame her for what had happened.

Alaina let Sirius go for a brief second whilst James and Remus luged him up on the couch. Then, James and Lily went down to the kitchens to go and grab some ice. Alaina plumped up Sirius' pillow in a motherly fashion and grasped his hand tightly. Sirius smiled weakly at his beautiful girlfriend. Tears were at the brim of her eyes and she kissed the knuckles on his callused hand.

"Hey, told you I wouldn't make you be able to walk," Brittney said in a timid voice. It did not suit her at all. And Sirius grinned at her.

"And I learned a very valuable lesson. Never make a girl mad. Especially if she has a wand."
