Chapter 2: A Dreadful Detention

Remus still didn't look completely reassured. "I don't know Lily, maybe we should let them work this out on their own..."

Lily rolled her eyes. "With Sirius and Danielle, that could take FOREVER. Do you really want Sirius asking you for advice forever?"

"Ok, what's the plan?"

"Well, they're serving detention with Professor Burbage, right? She's the Muggle Studies instructor." (A/N: I know that she was the instructor in Harry's time, but bear with me, kay?)

"Right... And?"

"AND, I was thinking that we could convince her that both of them hate dancing, which they do, and that she should teach them to dance for detention. With each other."

Remus grinned. "I like that idea. It's cruel and unusual. That could work..."

"Professor Burbage?"

"Yes Lily m'dear? Can I help you?"

Lily smiled evilly. "Actually, I think I can help you. Are you getting tired of serving detention with Sirius and Danielle?"

Professor Burbage sighed. "Yes, I am. None of the punishments I've inflicted on them seem to work. I'm presuming you have an idea?"

"Yes, I do. Since I know both of them very well, I have found out that they both hate dancing. I was thinking that since you're the Muggle Studies professor, you could give them a dance lesson as punishment."

"I think I shall try that Lily. Thank you."

Danielle checked her watch. "Arrrrrrrrgh." She was going to be late for detention again. Last time that happened she was forced to spend an extra 40 minutes with HIM.

Speaking of which, Sirius was nowhere to be seen

"Probably off in a closet with his girl of the week." Danielle thought scornfully.

All of a sudden, Danielle felt someone run straight into her. It just HAD to be Sirius.

"Watch where you're going, idiot. Or is THAT to much to ask from the Almighty Sirius Black?"

"Hmmmmmmm. The Almighty Sirius Black. I like that."

"Shut UP. Not every girl in the school adores you. I obviously don't. So, don't pull all that crap with me. It won't work."

"You didn't have to slap me that hard. It;s going to bruise."

Danielle thought about apologizing. He looked hurt. But he was Sirius Black, for god's sake. He was probably faking to get her sympathy.

"Are you not a wizard? You can hide a bruise easily."

"Don't you think I know that Dani? I'm not a complete idiot, only a partial one."

Sirius grinned and looked at Danielle.

"I said DON"T call me Dani. And you should know how to hide a bruise. With all the girls you date and dump, you WOULD get slapped a lot."

Sirius opened his mouth as if to reply, then stopped. They had reached the Muggle Studies room.

Danielle knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Danielle looked around the room. "Where are all the desks?"

Professor Burbage smiled. "You shan't be needing them for this detention."

Sirius narrowed his eyes. "I thought we were cleaning the desks out.."

"Nope. I came up with a new idea. Today for detention you two will be learning how to dance."

Danielle laughed. "Yeah, right. What are we really doing?"

Professor Burbage frowned. "Why, I meant what I said dear. You two will be learning how to dance. With each other."

Danielle looked furious, whilst Sirius couldn't look happier.

"Take your partners."

Sirius held out his hand. "Dani, may I have this dance?"

Danielle rolled her eyes and reluctantly took his hand.

"Today we will be learning the jive."

Everything was going great (well, Danielle hadn't hexed Sirius yet), until they were learning how to dip their partners.

"You have to support you partner Sirius. And Danielle, you have to trust you partner."

"That's likely" Danielle mumbled sarcastically.

"What was that?" professor Burbage asked.

"Nothing Professor." Danielle replied innocently.

She didn't notice the hurt look on Sirius' face.

"Very well. Now Sirius, try the dip."

He did, and it went well the first few times.

"Now, let's try it with the music."

That's when it happened.

Sirius tripped over his shoelace just when Danielle lent into the dip. Needless to say, she fell. So did Sirius.

Two "Owwwwwwwwwwww!" s echoed throughout the room.

"You idiot. I can't believe you. You can't even manage a dip. How stupid are you?"

Sirius blushed and practically ran out of the room.

Danielle's mouth dropped open. Sirius had never acted like this before.

"That's it for today." said Professor Burbage.

"So, how was detention?" Lily asked. She had a feeling that her plan hadn't worked. Danielle look kind of upset.

"Horrible! We were doing a dip and he dropped me. He DROPPED me! And know what the worst part is? I'm not mad at him for it." Danielle shook her head. "I can't believe myself- he's Sirius Black! I don't get why I'm not mad at him."

Lily was dumbstruck. Danielle was ALWAYS mad at Sirius. And this time he would DESERVE it too!

"Well, how did he react to the fact that you're not mad?

Danielle looked down. "Ummmmmmmmmmmmm..."

"Oh no. He thinks your mad, doesn't he? Lily asked.

"Yeah, and he took it badly. He just ran out of the room. That's not like him. I would have expected him to laugh it off."

Lily looked at Danielle. "I think he has real feelings for you Danielle."

"Hey Moony?"

"Yeah Prongs?"

"You seen Sirius?"

Remus looked up. James sounded worried. "No. Why? Is something wrong?"

James looked even more worried now. "I don't know. I saw him run out of the Muggle Studies classroom 10 minutes ago. He looked pretty upset."

Remus' eyed widened. "Uh-oh. He had detention with Danielle tonight. Something probably happened there."

"Oh. That's okay then. He's probably off sulking in that deserted bathroom. It's really creepy in there."

Remus rolled his eyes. "That's because a girl died there last year when the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Remember?"

"No. I always thought it was deserted because an army of killer bunnies lives there."

"Why would there... Never mind. Why am I friends with you again?"

James smiled his best I'm-so-innocent smile. "Because you love me?"

Remus rolled his eyes again. He did that a lot when he was with his friends.

"Right. That must be it."

It seemed they had forgotten about Sirius. He was in fact in the deserted bathroom. But he wasn't sulking. He was...
