This chapter will have a tad bit more swearing that the others, but it's covered under the "T" rating.

Chapter 4: Severus Snape is so Going to Pay for This

"So Remus, you and Jake have got something going on, eh?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, well…" Remus looked extremely uncomfortable.

"It's cool, mate, I'm fine with it. I mean he isn't exactly my type…I prefer them a little bustier. "

Lupin groaned. "You and James and everyone, you are all fine with me being gay?"

Sirius laughed in his bark-like way. "Mate, we knew you were before you knew. I need to get to potions. Autumn, James, are you coming?"

"Yeah, yeah, we are." Autumn responded. James looked a bit dazed; he had just been staring at Lily.

"Check this out, James. Autumn, I recommend you turn the other way." Sirius said, as he pulled out a magazine.

"Not another one of you dirty magazines, Sirius," Autumn groaned, gesturing to the issue of Playwizard. James looked extremely interested; the witch on the cover was a redhead and James had a bit of a thing for redheads. Precisely, one witch in particular who shot him a repulsed look as she realized what kind of magazine he and Sirius were looking at.

"Er…hurry…we are late for potions," James said quite awkwardly, pushing the magazine away.

Autumn and Sirius snickered. "Jamesie was caught with a porno." Autumn said in a singsong voice.

They arrived in the gloomy dungeon and seated themselves at a table all together. Professor Slughorn droned on for a while. Autumn took a nap on her book, while Sirius and James flicked beetles from their potions kit at each other.

"Wake up, Ms. Robinson! Potter, Black, you are sixth years, I expect more from you!" Slugohorn said sharply. Severus Snape snickered. "Robinson pair up with Evans, Black with Snape, and Potter with Clark. Begin making the Befuddlement Draught."

"Hello, Lily," Autumn said awkwardly. Though they shared a dorm, Autumn had never gotten to know the girl. In general, she tried to stay away from having female friends, since most of them used her to get to Sirius. Lily never seemed the type to do so, though.

Lily smiled warmly. "Hi, Autumn. Shall we begin?"

"I suppose so," Autumn replied, seating herself next to Lily.

"Let's see you can chop the worms. Finely chopped, by the way. We need to have as much juice released from them as possible."

"Yeah, alright," Autumn disregarded Lily's instructions; she instead mashed the worms into a pulp. Lily was horrified.

"That's not how you are supposed to prepare the worms," Lily hissed.

"Trust me, I know these things. It will work better. Follow the rest of the instructions as normal, but increase the temperature of the fire. Add the worms, before you add the powdered dragon claw."

"That's not what the instructions say!"

"Screw the instructions. You'll see. It will work."

Lily was furious. Actually, she was beyond furious, she was fuming. His face was as raging red as her hair. "Fine," snapped, "But if our grade gets fucked up because of you, Autumn Robinson, there will be hell to pay."

Autumn grinned. No wonder James liked this girl. "Oh, honey, don't you worry you fiery little head." To Lily's surprise the potion was perfect. Actually, it was beyond perfect; it was even better than Sev's. This was shocking, as nobody's potion had ever been better than Severus Snape's.

"Well! My, my! I have never seen a Befuddlement Draught such a clear blue color! My, my, this is excellent, Lily!"

"Actually, Professor Slughor-"

"Ten points to Gryffindor, for Lily Evans!"

"Well, Professor, it was really Aut-"

"Excellent, Lily!" He said slipping her a purple envelope. She recognized it immediately: it was an invitation to the Slug Club. Lily shot Autumn and apologetic look. Autumn didn't look as though she was even bothered by Slughorn's misdirected praise.

"How did you know to do that?" Lily asked.

Autumn shrugged. "Before my mum ran off when I was fourteen she taught me everything she knew about potions."

"No offense, I always thought you were a bit dull."

Autumn just laughed. "Just because my best mates are Sirius and your lover boy James, doesn't mean I'm dense. "

Lily flushed.

"Hey, Lily, give him a chance alright? He's a great guy." For some strange reason, after all, it's a mystery how females work, the two girls became friends after that moment.

Though James experience working with Clark went well, Sirius and Snape were a completely different story. This story could be told very much like this in a new rendition of a stereotypical sex talk: When two boys loathe each other very much, they get together and all hell breaks loose.

"Snivellus! How fucking fantastic to see you today, slimeball!"

"Oh, and Black, though I must say, the Mr. Asshole's hair looks slightly out of place."

Sirius subconsciously patted his hair. Snape snickered. "Sirius you are girl. Probably a fucking queer too, just like that Loopy friend of yours."

"Take. That. Back." Sirius said though clenched teeth. He wanted to hex the hell out of Snape, but with his track record he knew that would mean expulsion.

"Nice group you have, Mr. Asshole. You have the slutty bitch and all the rest of you are fags."

Sirius was furious, but he held his temper. He already had something in store for Snape. "And all this coming from the guy who can't get a bitch to lay him," Sirius replied leaning back carelessly in his chair.

"Well! My, my! I have never seen a Befuddlement Draught such a clear blue color! My, my, this is excellent, Lily!" Slughorn said, but Sirius knew right away that it had to be Autumn's work. He drowned out the rest of the class's conversation to ponder ways to get back at Snape. He grinned evilly, but he knew one other mastermind who was just as good as he was.

Class was dismissed and everyone walked out of the dungeon. "Hey, Autumn! Wanna help me with something?" He had the smirk, the diabolical plan smirk.

"What to do you have in mind?"

"Just a little payback to be arranged with Snivellus."

"Oh, definitely, but why?"

And so Sirius told her everything that happened. Autumn looked pissed off as hell.

"Do you know what I think Sirius? Snivellus is going to pay more than hell. Do you mind the risk of suspension?"

Sirius grinned. Now, this was the Autumn that he loved.
