James was gone by the time Sirius got back to the hospital wing. Riley was still in deep thought and contemplation when he sauntered up to her side. He smiled at her thoughtful expression and cleared his throat to catch her attention. She looked up, startled that she hadn't noticed him here until now. She frowned on the inside at herself for getting too caught up in her own daydreaming.

"I brought your clothes." He told her gently.

She smiled lightly at him and peered at his selection out of her wardrobe. Dark blue, tight, flared jeans, good. Her brown leather belt, a beige baby tee that said 'The Eagles' in brown...very good. Brown leather-bowling sneakers, and brown leather Indian choker. She smiled at him again, with her gentle smile and she sat up.

"Perfect." She told him, happy with the selection. "Where did you learn how to pick out clothes?" she asked with a teasing tone. Sirius blushed and shrugged at her.

"Brown, with brown." he told her with a very shy shrug. "Plus, you might hurt me if I mess it up." He told her with a teasing, shy smile. "I saw how you provoked that Slytherin."

She gave him a fake shocked expression, like she didn't know what he was talking about, pulling up her pillow and heaving it at his face.

"See what I mean??" He cried, getting smacked in the face. She broke out in laughter and he quirked his left brow, "You think that's funny, do you?" She shook her head 'no', trying to hide her laughter, lying. Sirius' expression changed into a horrified look,

"What's that?" he asked, pointing at the end of her bed.

"What?" Riley said, her eyes growing wide, following Sirius' finger to the spot.

He turned his head quickly back to her and threw the pillow at her, pelting her in the face, "Ha!" he cried with laughter about to burst from his throat. Riley half-smiled at him with a slightly aggravated look on her face.

"That's it, Sirius Black." she warned him.

"Oh, no!" he cried with the worse fake horrified look.

She grinned sheepishly, suddenly remembering her not so great air, as she peered down at her own clothing. "This shall continue after I shower and change!" she cried. Sirius grinned at her as she walked off to the hospital wing bathrooms, and he plopped down on the bed, making the coils creak, waiting for her.

Twenty minutes later, she reappeared, dressed, washed, stunning, and looking more like herself. Sirius looked up at her, from his position on the bed, lying upside down and on his back.

"Wow." he uttered quietly, seeing her in the clothes he picked and thoughtfully reminded himself to pat himself on the back later. Everything fit her perfectly and she looked so comfortable as she walked over to him. Her brown hair was the exact shade as her clothing and her eyes sparkled beneath her rebellious smoky eye makeup. Sirius turned himself over on his stomach and gazed at her.

"Now, where we before?" She asked him with a menacing glimmer in her eye, her brow heightened with emphasis. "Oh, yes.That's it, Sirius Black..." She told him, re-quoting herself.

Sirius grinned and sat up on the bed, "Oh, no?" he said, about to laugh. She picked up the pillow on the bed next to him and threw it at him, and dived onto the bed after it.

"Ha ha ha!" she laughed evilly, tackling him with another pillow on the bed.

"Ahhhh!" he cried, in fake agony as she continued to pelt him.

He threw himself on top of her and wrestled a pillow out of her hands. He then proceeded and smacked her twice, sitting up over her. She laughed and it made him laugh, her laughter was like tickling bells contagious. Sirius reached out and grabbed Riley by the waist. She squirmed and squealed as he pulled her toward him with a sinister expression clouding his face. As soon as she was close enough he pulled her up onto his shoulder and stood up. He laughed as she kicked and cried out.

"Siriusss!"

He looked around wildly, thrashing her around, balanced on his shoulder.

"What? What?" he asked, pretending not to hear her cries.

"Down! Now!!" she shouted, between laughs.

He spun around and around, making her dizzy and grinning insanely. He laughed when he put her down on the floor and she almost fell trying to maintain balance. He supported her by holding her up by her waist and he smiled softer, her waist was so tiny, he thought. So fragile looking, but his thoughts took a dive when he saw her face. That attitude, though, doesn't make her seem that fragile. He stood there thinking as he gazed at her and she blushed, noting his gaze. She quirked her brow, curiously, distracting him and pulling him out of his thoughts. He ran up, too quick for her reactions, and scooped her up in his arms with a smile. She shook her head in false annoyance and sighed, "Here we go again." His dark eyes twinkled and he spun around wildly, making her cling tightly to his robes for fear of falling. She laughed at one point but ceased to after the "Ahem." of another voice other than theirs. Sirius halted abruptly with Riley still in his arms, facing them to an amused Dumbledore. Sirius and Riley immediately reddened with embarrassment and at the amused smile that graced his face.
