A/N: Ack! Again it's short! But this chapter's more... fun. P I warn you, though... we see a more... violent side of Rosa in this chapter. That's all I'm going to say. You'll have to read on to find out more.

Sirius and I were almost back to normal. Well, that was until I found out that he was dating Bambi. Now I wasn't jealous or anything, no way, I mean the whole kiss thing was a mistake and we just had a silent agreement to never mention it again, it was just that Bambi was such a slut and a bitch and a slut and a cow and... a slut? OK. I honestly am not jealous. Why would I be? I don't even like him!

"I don't even like him!" I said to Lily for the fourth time in an hour. I looked over at my friend for confirmation but she appeared to have fallen asleep, her head lolling on the arm rest of her chair and she was snoring gently. "Ok. Haha. I get the picture."

Lily opened an eye and grinned, "Sorry, it's just that that's the fifth time you've mentioned Sirius in an hour."

"FOURTH actually!" I told her, smirking because I was right and she was wrong. Then I realised what I had said and felt my cheeks heat up. "No! I mean, I haven't... it's just why Bambi? She's such a bitch!"

"Yeah... you do have a point... but since when has the great Sirius Black ever judged on anything other than humongous tits and a great arse?" Lily pointed it and I knew she was right.

I sighed and slid further down in my armchair, wondering where the hell Sirius had got to. If he wasn't back in 15 minutes I would have to go and look for him because otherwise it would mean another project rule broken. I really did hope he was back before then as I didn't fancy walking in on him and Bambi... doing things in broom closets that involved a lot of screaming. I shuddered at the thought.

"Oh, that reminds me. I haven't lectured you yet." Lily said suddenly. I thought perhaps she was joking, after all, she had been fine with me all day but apparently Lily did not joke about such serious matters as lecturing one of her friends into oblivion.

Lily glared at me and, before I could protest, began the long ramble, "What the HELL were you thinking, Rosa?! Sirius Black for god's sake! I can't believe you'd touch him, let alone sleep with him!"

"WHAT!" I shouted, sitting up instantly.

"Rosa, denial never works! Just face up to the fact that you slept with Sirius!"

"I did not sleep with Sirius!" I screeched again, "I swear on my mum's stripper's cat suit that I didn't sleep with him!"

"I believe you and hey, your mum's cat suit was very nice!" Lily said, the corners of her mouth twitching. I glowered at her.

"Don't even go there... wait, who told you I had slept with Sirius?" I asked, deciding that I would kill said person at the next oppurtunity.

"Mary."

"MARY?"

"Yeah, Brendan told her," Lily answered me with a shrug.

"Hey guys!" I looked up. Oh no. It was Sirius and there was an annoying, little, cartoon deer attached to his side a.k.a the Hogwarts bike, Bambi.

"Oh my gosh, hi Rosa!" Bambi squealed, batting her incredibly fake and cheap eyelashes at me.

"Hi Bambi," I replied, not bothering to keep the hostility out of my voice. Sirius glared at me. I wasn't stupid. We both knew the only reason he'd brought her upto the common room was to piss me off and to see my reaction.

"I'm going to go and talk to James about butterbeer. You don't mind if Bambi stays with you two, do you?" Sirius asked casually.

"Well, actually we're quite busy doin-" I began to say.

"Good, good," Sirius said. Him and Bambi then lauchened into a far too public display of affection, which involved them snogging for a few minutes, practically against my armchair.

"Sorry, am I in your way?" I asked coldly.

"Well, if you wouldn't mind moving..." Sirius said in that cocky tone of his. I glared at him and he glared back.

"Ok. Go on, Siri! Don't be too long!" Bambi told him, ruffling his hair and giggling in a way that made me want to throw up all over her. Bambi wasn't as stupid as she seemed (surprisingly) and in fact she seemed to have more than the appearing one brain cell, as she made sure to wait until Sirius was safely on the other side of the room before threatening me.

"Stay away from my boyfriend, you slut!" She hissed at me. I didn't know what to say to this, so instead I let out a snort of laughter. Apparently this wasn't the right thing to do. "I've seen the way you look at him and it's just pitying that you even think you're in his league..."

"Bambi, I'm not even interested in Sirius," I said, rolling my eyes at her.

"Whatever. The whole school knows how you threw yourself at him. You practically raped at him." This was enough to have me in hysterics. The more I laughed, however, the more annoyed Bambi seemed to get.

"I heard about your mum, by the way," Bambi said in a sickly sweet tone and she knew almost instantly that she had hit a nerve. I felt my grip tighten on my chair.

"Rosa..." Lily warned me from her armchair, glaring at Bambi, "Don't let her get to you."

Bambi smirked at me. "Apparently she was gagging for it. Kept throwing herself at all the guys. Really easy to get into bed. Jonathon Canndit swears she even tried to give him a blow job. Oh well, I s'pose she's just a whore. Must run in the famil-"

Bambi didn't have time to finish her sentence however, as before she could continue, I had rolled my hand into a first and punched her full in the face. "ROSA NO!" Lily shouted. Everyone went silent. There was complete silence as everyone seemed to take in what had happened. I stared down at my hand in shock. "Oh my god... I just punched someone..."

"You're going to pay for that, bitch!" Bambi shrieked and she lunged at me. I was hardly expecting her to retaliate so it came as a shock and I barely had time to let out a scream, as she knocked me out of my chair and to the floor. She was smirking down at me now. I kicked her hard and she fell to the floor as well. "BITCH!" She screamed at me and, before I even knew what the hell was really going on, I was having a muggle fight with Bambi in the middle of the project members common room. Everyone gathered around and were egging us on, most of them, I was pleased to say, cheering for me.

She kicked me. I punched her. She tried to bite me and I said that was nasty, so she slapped me instead. We were rolling around on the floor for around 10 minutes, tearing pieces out of eachother, before I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and pull me off of Bambi in mid-punch.

"ROSA! FOR FUCK'S SAKE JUST CALM DOWN!" Great. It was Sirius. I scowled at him, raising a hand to my bleeding lip and wished to God that I had never even met him and then I wouldn't have found myself lowering myself to the point of cat fighting in public.

Bambi saw this. Bambi didn't like it. "Oh, Siri poo, it was so horrible! She just attacked me!" My god, I hated that bitch so much, but I had to give it to her; she was a pretty good actress. She was now standing in floods of tears and faking having to lean against James (who had pulled her off me) because of her 'injured leg'.

"That is not true!" I protested angrily.

"She just went crazy, Sirius! She said that I had better stay away from you or she'd get me and then I said that she had no right to be so mean and she just punched me!" Bambi wailed through her tears.

"YOU BITCH!" I shouted, attempting to lunge at her again, but Sirius grabbed me by the arms and pulled me back.

I turned to face Sirius and tried to show him through my expression that I was telling the truth. He looked at me. He looked at Bambi. He glared at me and walked back over to Bambi. "Rosa, just... stay out of my life, ok?" Sirius said.

I didn't answer.

"I know we have to work together for this project but that's it. That's as far as it goes. We aren't friends." And with those final words, Sirius took Bambi and walked over to the other side of the common room, leaving me standing all alone.

Lily walked over to me. I didn't say anything but the look on my face must have told her how I was feeling. She sighed and gave me a hug and I just hugged her back, unable to believe how much my life had changed for the worse over the course of two days.
