Chapter 3 Diagon Alley In My Soup
"Yoohoo," Sirius whispered, looking around at the sleeping occupants of the Potter living room. "Anyone awake?"
"Me!" James whispered back, along with Rose.
"C'mon over," Sirius said, beckoning the two of them over to the couch he had been sleeping on, moving over to make room for the newcomers.
"What time is it?" Rose yawned.
"5:07," James told her, looking at his watch.
"Damn it's early," Sirius grumbled. "Why did I have to wake up anyway?"
"I should go running," Rose sighed, looking at the barely visible sky. "The sun's gonna be up soon."
"Why do you go running in the dark?" Sirius snorted, looking at her a little strangely.
"Cause it's cooler," Rose shrugged.
"I see. Or is it because you want to meet up with Gideon before his parents wake up?" James smirked, and Rose looked at him with an innocent expression playing on her face.
"I swear, I go running cause it's cooler!"
"Wait a minute…Remus told us you hate running!" Sirius said, hoping this was correct information seeing as Remus never told them anything about Rose running or not.
"Not anymore. Besides, Gideon told me I could use the exercise so I started running. Anymore questions?"
"Yeah, your boyfriend thinks your fat?" Sirius asked skeptically.
"No! He's never actually said that."
"Yeah well that's what he's implying," Sirius frowned.
"Is that what you're implying?" Rose asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"No, of course not!"
"Good."
"Wow, you guys actually carried on a conversation," James said, impressed.
"I'm surprised. I always thought you were scared of me," Sirius said, looking at Rose who looked indignant.
"I am not scared of you!" Rose lied indignantly.
"Well then you must like me."
"Excuse me?"
"Oh c'mon, Rose, it's obvious! Whenever I flirt with you, you get all tongue-tied and whenever I come near you, you get all nervous. You can't honestly think I don't know you like me?"
"Guess what, I don't like you!" Rose whispered angrily. "The reason I get nervous is because I'm not used to talking to you and I'm shy around people I don't know! Hence the not talking when you flirt, not to mention Remus is usually sitting right there, and he'd eat both our intestines for dinner if I flirted back! Not every girl likes you, Black, and you should get it through your big fat thick head that they maybe would if you weren't such a bloody sex obsessed pig!"
"Woah, calm down there, Red," Sirius smirked, which caused Rose to get even more riled up.
"I can't believe you! Can you even live up to your name for one second in your goddamn life? Not everything is jokes and games, Black; maybe you should get it through your brain, if you can find it in the cobwebs, that life isn't all about pranking and hexing Snape!"
"Geez, Red, how did you get Snape into this? Do you like him too?" Sirius grinned, and James had to hold Rose back from attacking Sirius.
"I don't know how you can deal with him, James," Rose finally said after much struggling, but she was no match for James' tight grip.
"It takes practice," James laughed, and Sirius pouted.
"So Red, any explanation of why you got so mad when I said you like me?"
"Did you not listen to anything she said?" James asked, and Rose just glared daggers at Sirius.
"If you call me Red one more time I am gonna…"
"You're gonna what, Red?"
"THAT'S IT!" Rose shrieked, and lunged for Sirius, waking up the rest of the occupants. "You mother fucking son of a--"
"What the bloody hell is going on?" Meghan groaned.
"Sirius, what did you do?" Remus yawned.
"It's too early," Lily grumbled, sitting up from the pile of blankets she had been sleeping on.
"Sirius here is trying to get Rose all riled up, and I must say it's working very well," James said, motioning to the scene before them.
"You take that back!" Sirius demanded, standing up, and Rose stood up as well though it didn't help much as he towered over her by atleast a good foot.
"Make me," Rose growled. "I'm sure the rest of the world would agree with me anyway."
"What are we agreeing with?" Lily sighed.
"That Black doesn't know how to treat women," Rose said, looking around the room fiercely.
"It…depends," Meghan said, choosing her words carefully so she wouldn't make either of them madder then they already were.
"Who wants breakfast?" James asked finally, cutting the tension in the room, though it wasn't nearly as rigid as the night before during the intense game of Strip Operation.
"Me!" Sirius cried, forgetting all about the argument he had been having, and falling successfully for James' plan of diverting his attention. "Can we have pancakes? Ooooh with chocolate chips!" he squealed, and received many odd looks. "Sorry, I get excited, okay?"
"I can see that…yup, big wet spot in the crotch area," Lily grinned, nodding at Meghan who was coming in from the kitchen, pumpkin juice in hand.
"Wh-no there's not!" Sirius said gullibly glancing at his crotch,
Meghan smirked evilly and poured her drink into his pants.
"Now there is."
"MEGHAN YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Sirius howled, jumping up and down while holding his crotch because of the cold, ignoring the howls of laughter from the people around him.
"Come and get me!" Meghan sang, dancing around the room and Sirius began running after her. "Crap."
"You are going to pay for that," Sirius growled, catching her around the middle and Meghan laughed.
"Why should I pay, the size wasn't worth my money!" she laughed, and twisted free of Sirius' hold.
"Ouch!" Lily grinned, and Sirius pouted. "She got you good, Sirius."
"You all are so mean," he sulked, which just set everyone off laughing again.
"Diagon Alley in my soup," Sirius sang, and received what must have been the 29,482nd odd look that morning as he and the other five walked down the main road of Diagon Alley.
"How the hell could you get Diagon Alley to fit in your soup?" Lily laughed, leading them into Flourish and Blotts.
"Easy. I just dump 18,000,000,000 barrels of chicken noodle soup over it," Sirius shrugged.
"And where are you going to get these…18 billion barrels of chicken noodle soup?" Remus asked curiously, picking up a Miranda Goshawk book.
"I'll cook them!" Sirius grinned.
"Do you have an answer for everything?" Meghan asked.
"Of course! I'm Sirius Black!"
"What's my middle name?" Rose smirked.
"Uh…uh…"
"Good Answer." she said sarcastically, and Sirius glared at her.
"I hadn't finished thinking. It's Marie."
"Wrong."
"Matilda?"
"Nuh-uh."
"Red?" Sirius smirked, and Rose whirled around to face him.
"You're lucky we're in public, Black," she growled.
"Okay, Rose, lets go over here. Away from Sirius," Lily said, beckoning her friend of 7 years over to another aisle. With one last glare at Sirius, Rose reluctantly followed Lily down the aisle, Meghan at her heels.
"Something is seriously wrong with that girl," Sirius said, shaking his head.
"Sirius…my sister, remember?" Remus sighed exasperatedly.
"Dude, I forget, okay?"
"That's like the 50th time you've said that in the past 2 days," James laughed. "C'mon, lets go head over to the Quidditch store. I've been dying to look at the new clean sweep."
"Well, well, well, if it isn't mudblood Evans," someone sneered from behind the three girls, and they turned around to find Severus Snape sneering down at them. "Aww look, she's got her girlfriends with her, how cute."
"What do you want," Lily sighed.
"Better watch your manners, Evans," Snape sneered, and Lily bit back a sob coming up.
"Better watch your hair, Snivellus," Meghan retorted. "All the sun reflecting on the grease could blind the whole street."
"Better watch your hair." he shot back. "People might think you're a man."
"What the hell," Meghan laughed. "It's a bob!"
"It doesn't look anything like something a guy would wear!" Rose snorted.
"No he doesn't know what a man's haircut looks like because he's not a man." Meghan added
"Seriously, Snivellus, you need to come up with better comebacks." Rose said
"You should talk. You're the one that…that…has a half breed for a family!" Snape said quietly so that Lily and Meghan couldn't hear him but Rose could. She froze, turned around and glared daggers at him.
"Say that again to my face, and I swear to god I will hex your spleen out your left nostril," she threatened dangerously, holding her wand under Snape's chin.
"Yeah right, you're not of age yet," he said smugly.
"Watch me," Rose growled, and Snape's eyes filled with fear.
"What's going on, here?" James asked, coming up to the scene he had been watching from afar.
"I'm just showing these bitches to watch their step," Snape said, and the girls looked at each other and laughed.
"Yeah right, Snivvy. You were the one blubbering there," Lily snorted, not caring she was once friends with the boy.
"Levicorpus!" he shouted, and Lily was flung into the air upside down.
"You bastard!" Meghan and Rose shouted at the same time. "Let her down, now!"
"Gladly," he sneered, and Lily came crashing down to the ground. Smiling smugly, Snape walked away and Meghan turned to James.
"Why didn't you do anything?" she asked angrily.
"I'm not allowed, I can never torment Snape again remember, last night and Operation?" he explained
"Oh, Screw it, Go kick his ass." Lily said still on the ground
"Yes! GET BACK HERE YOU FILTHY BASTARD!" James shouted, running after the grease ball.
"You okay?" Meghan asked Lily worriedly.
"Yeah I'm fine," she sniffed. "I can't believe I was ever friends with that jerk."
"C'mon, let's go find the guys," Rose said, helping Lily up.
"Ow! My ankle!" she winced, lifting up her right foot as soon as she stood up.
"C'mon, balance on us," Meghan told her, and Lily followed the instruction, putting an arm around both Meghan and Rose, and she hopped the long walk with them over to Florean Fortescues where they assumed the boys would be.
"Lily! Are you alright?" Remus asked, getting up as the girls neared them.
"Yeah, just a sprained ankle."
"Let me guess, Snivellus?" Sirius asked, helping support Lily.
"Yeah," Rose scowled. "That bastard, I hate his guts."
"Who doesn't?" Remus asked, and the five looked at each other, then shrugged. "Hey where's James?"
"Going after Snape," Meghan said, and Sirius and Remus looked at Lily, shocked.
"You let him?" Sirius asked with glee.
"Yes. He dropped me on the ground for Merlin's sake, and it's not like I could go running after him.
"I love you Lily!" Sirius cried with happiness. "What do you girls want for ice cream?"
"I don't want any," Rose said. "I'll just have a water."
"Pumpkin Pasties Delight, please," Lily said cheerfully.
"I'll be daring. Bertie Botts surprise," Meghan grinned.
"You are one brave girl," Sirius grinned, and walked up to the counter to buy the three orders.
"Hello all!" James grinned, walking toward them all with his head up high as if he just won a medal.
"James! Did you kick his ass?" Meghan asked, patting the seat next to her.
"Yep. He now has a bunch of bogeys and boils in places unknown," he said cheerfully, and Remus clapped him on the back.
"Oy, James!" Sirius called. "Whaddya want?"
"Bertie Botts Surprise!"
"Copy cat," Meghan laughed.
"Ah I don't care. I can keep hexing Snape! And I got him for Lily," he smiled, looking at Lily sweetly. She quickly turned around to hide her blush, though Sirius didn't miss it as he came walking back.
"Well, well, well. Looks like Miss Evans if finally falling for the Potter charm," he quietly said to Lily so no one else could hear.
"I am not!"
"Ice creams on me!" Sirius said loudly.
"Oh no, I'm paying!" Lily insisted.
"You pay me, and I'll tell everyone what I just saw," he grinned, and Lily glared at him.
"I hate you."
"Hey everyone, Lily-
"Did I say hate? I meant love," she said sweetly, and Sirius patted her on the head.
"There's my good girl."
"I'm not a dog, Sirius!" she frowned.
"Oh, now that I have this information, you're a dog if I say you are," he grinned, and Lily groaned.
"Crap."
Well that's chapter 3, please review! Chapter 4 will be up soon
