Yay chapter 2! Hope you like it.
Chapter 2: Chemisty
"Wakie wakie Abs and bakie"
When I opened my eyes I was staring into Sirius'. I could feel my face growing hot as I could see every little detail of his very handsome face. His lips were close to mine and if I wanted too I could have just tilted my face up a few inches and they would brush together.
But as I stated before, I had sworn off guys and that included Sirius. "I'm up" I yawned.
He was still hovering above me and I waited for him to stand up and get out of my way.
However he just stood there, staring into my eyes.
I bit my lip, "um Sirius you're in my way"
He blinked and grinned, "Oh right" and he straightened himself.
I smiled at him and sat up than rubbed my eyes.
"Remus went up ahead to get us a carriage" he informed me as we joined the throng of people making their way off the train.
We waved to Hagrid the games keeper as we walked by to the carriages.
"Oi Moony" Sirius called.
Remus' pale face popped out of the sixth carriage from the front and we hurried over.
Remus helped me into the carriage and I took a seat beside him.
"I'm starving" Sirius said as he stretched himself on his side of the carriage.
"I thought you were Sirius" I joked and he rolled his eyes.
"That was real lame Abs" he said.
Yeah it was pretty lame I will admit but I looked to Remus and he smiled, "I thought it was witty".
"Thanks Remus".
When the carriages came to a stop Sirius jumped out and ran ahead of everyone else.
"I'll meet you guys in the Great Hall" he called.
Remus shook his head and I giggled. "I'm surprised he's not huge".
"Well one day he may wake up 300 pounds"
An image popped into my mind of a very large Sirius dragging his fat arse through the Great Hall doors. I began to giggle even harder.
"You could picture it couldn't you?" Remus asked.
I couldn't answer him because I was gasping for breath. I wasn't going to be able to keep a straight face at supper tonight.
When we entered the Great Hall Sirius was sitting at our normal spot at the Gryffindor table. I slid onto the bench and Remus slid in beside me. "Jeez I wish they'd hurried up. I'm hungry" Sirius said fingering a fork. I bit my tongue trying to hold in my laughter but I glanced over at Remus who was obviously trying to stifle his laugh but his face was priceless and I just had to let it out.
"What's so funny?" Sirius frowned at us.
"I just had an er, image"
"Oh yeah, an image of me?" he winked.
"Actually yes"
"In a speedo right?"
Another image popped into my mind of an overweight Sirius dragging his fat arse through the Great Hall doors in a speedo.
"Oh Sirius Orion Black" I shook my head.
A few minutes later Lily stormed in followed by a flustered James who was now sporting a fresh hand print on his face.
"Nice mate" Sirius said as James flopped himself down.
"Maybe he should keep his comments to himself" Lily sneered as McGonagall entered with the first years following behind her.
"Aw Lilikins It was a compliment" James protested.
Lily shot him a death glare. "Do not call me that dreadful name again".
"Okay fine" James held his hands up in front of him and turned his attention to the front where the stool and sorting hat were placed.
30 minutes and 15 Gryffindors later Professor Dumbledore stood up and gazed over the students.
"I would like to welcome all the students, new and old. The rules haven't changed. The Forbidden Forest is out of bounds, the curfew is 11, unless you have an invisibility cloak than I suppose you could get away with sneaking around after hours". I could have sworn that his gaze fell on us. James smirked; I knew he had an invisibility cloak because he and Sirius rescued me last year from Filch's office when I went to retrieve the Marauders map that I had dropped. They had burst through the door just as Filch had rounded the corner and they threw it over me and we snuck out.
I had never been so thankful to see them in my entire life.
Sirius stomach grumbled loudly and it echoed, everyone turned and a few people began to laugh.
"Oh Merlin" I muttered as the attention fell on all of us.
Dumbledore smiled, "Well I hear some people are hungry. Without further a due, dig in".
The food appeared and Sirius grabbed the closest thing to him, which happened to be chicken and literally, dug in.
"Urg, I think I've lost my appetite" Lily gagged from beside me and pushed her plate away.
The sight of Sirius mowing down made me feel queasy too but my stomach was growling too so I ignored him and began to eat.
"How can you eat" Lily asked me.
"I'm hungry" I protested.
"You're hurting my feelings Evans" Sirius said.
"And you're hurting my stomach, Black".
I tuned them out as they began to bicker.
A few minutes and a couple of pounds later we wandered out of the Great Hall and to the Gryffindor common room.
Remus and I supported Sirius who had consumed so much that he couldn't support his own weight.
"What a fat arse" James taunted him as he led the way to the common room.
Lily had already started patrol duties, without James help because she said he would cause more problems.
"Sod off Prongs or I'll knock your block off" Sirius grunted.
"Lemon Drops" James ignored him and said the password when we came to the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Nice to see you dears" she called as she swung open.
We stepped in and Sirius crashed down on the couch muttering about how his stomach hurt.
I rolled my eyes and pulled his feet off the end of the couch and sat down. He threw his legs over mine and grinned at me from the end of the couch. "Maybe you shouldn't eat that much" I spat my tongue out at him as James and Remus seated themselves on the chairs.
"I was hungry and over come by the sight of the food"
"My mum made you a large breakfast this morning" James called.
"Yes Prongsie but that was breakfast" Sirius stated as he pulled himself into a sitting position. We all rolled our eyes. It was hard to believe that Sirius still maintained his perfectly sculptured body the way he ate.
An hour later Remus excused himself and said he was going to go and catch up on some reading. He kissed the top of my head in a brotherly sort of way, something he had been doing for three years now and still Sirius would scowl.
"Jealous mate?" James asked as his brows rose.
"No. And if I was going to kiss Abs it wouldn't be on the top of the head".
He winked at me and I could feel the blush creeping up my neck and splashing across my face.
To hide it I spat my tongue out at him and replied cockily, "you wish. I would never let you kiss me"
James oohed and Sirius kicked out his foot in a poor attempt to hit James.
"It's not like Lily would let you kiss her either" I stated.
"Oh that's cold Abigail" James said using my full name. I cringed. I hated my name and everyone knew it.
"I'm going to kill you" I told him and he jumped up.
"I gotta go can't leave my Lily flower all alone" and he ran out of the room.
Sirius chuckled and I tensed as he laid his head on my lap and stared up at me. "Do you think those two are going to get together?" he asked non-chalantly as though it was normal for him to lay on me- which it wasn't!
I tried to keep calm as I answered him. "This is the year that it's going to happen, if it's going to happen".
"My thoughts exactly. Do you fancy anyone?"
I averted my gaze from him and into the fire. 'I must stick to my guns. No men' I told myself.
"No"
He sat up, "Oh really? Not even me?"
I giggled, "No, especially not you"
He frowned than stood up. "Well than. I'm off to bed"
"You're not mad are you?" I asked blinking as he suddenly walked off.
He chuckled, "Mad at what? You not liking me? Course not it's a relief. Night Abs" and he jogged up the stairs.
To say the least that comment hurt.
A sat there for a few more minutes later, alone, thinking of the way I was reacting to Sirius' charms and flirtatious comments. I would not, could not fall for him.
After all he was my friend, but I couldn't deny the chemistry we had.
I sighed. Sirius was just being a guy and because he wasn't seeing a girl right at the moment all his "sexual" energy was building up and because I was the only girl around right now it made sense that he would direct it at me.
I yawned and pushed myself off the couch than dragged myself up the stairs.
When I entered the dorm I fell face first onto my bed and snuggled into the covers, groaning in bliss. I had to admit that my bed at Hogwarts was just as comfortable as my bed at home.
"Am I interrupting something?"
I looked up to see Alice Prewitt standing there. She was another friend of mine and one of the other girls that Lily and I shared a room with.
"I just missed my bed" I sighed as I flipped onto my back.
She giggled and jumped onto her bed. My eyes widened as I noticed something glittering on her left hand on the marriage finger.
"Alice what's that?" I asked pointing.
She grinned and jumped from her bed onto my and plopped down on the end.
"It's a ring".
I took her hand and inspected it, "Merlin that's quite a rock. What is it a promise ring?"
"No. Frank proposed to me this summer".
"Congratulations".
She beamed, "Thanks. I truly believe that he is the love of my life, we've been together for 3 years now. I just want to spend the rest of my life with him" she gushed.
"I must admit you 2 have quite the chemistry. Everyone can see feel it".
She smiled dreamily than smirked at me, "So do you and Sirius".
I turned red and shook my head frantically. "Do not!" and I threw my pillow over my head.
"Keep telling yourself that but everyone can feel it" and I felt her get off my bed.
I kept my head buried under my pillow and before I knew it I dozed off.
"Oh my gosh Alice I'm so happy for you" Lily's squeals woke me up the next morning.I knew it was the next morning because I woke up later last night and changed into my pj's and the sun was shining into the room when I opened my eyes.
Alice and Lily were already showered and dressed and obviously discussing Alices' ring.I muttered something incoherent, grabbed my uniform from the end of my bed and a towel and made myself go into the bathroom.
After a nice hot shower I dressed and stumbled out of the bathroom.Alice was doing her hair and Lily had gone down to direct the breakfast traffic.I brushed my hair used a drying spell on it and than put some eye liner around my chocolate brown eyes and waited for Alice to finish putting on her face.
We skipped down to the Great Hall 10 minutes later.
She slid in beside Frank and pecked him on the head. "Aw what a sweet heart" I cooed as he gave her the plate of food he made up for her.
"Mornin' Abby" he said as I took a seat beside Remus.
Lily and James were herding in a few first years and Sirius was no where to be found.
"Where's Sirius? He wouldn't miss breakfast" I said as I scooped some eggs onto my plate.
Before anyone could answer my question we heard some giggles and Sirius' bark like laugh.
He had just walked in with his arm wrapped around the waist of Amelia Burkhart a seventh year Hufflepuff. They had a mini snog session in the middle of the Great Hall before they broke apart and went their separate ways.
"Good Morning Padfoot" Remus greeted him as he sat down grinning from ear to ear.
"It is a good morning indeed Moony" he replied as he piled his plate with pancakes.
James than sat down and Lily took a spot beside Frank. "If you ever do that again Black than I will have no choice but to deduct 10 points from Gryffindor" she hissed.
"For what?" he grunted as he shoveled bacon into his mouth.
"For snogging Amelia in public, where people are eating none the less" she stated.
"And I will award him 10 points for snogging Amelia in public where people are eating" James told her.
Lily glared at him and chose to ignore him.
"I don't see a problem with it" Sirius shrugged.
"You wouldn't" I replied tersely.
Now I wasn't jealous just the sight had made me gag a little and it also made me a little mad. Okay maybe I was a little jealous. Don't ask me why because I was use to Sirius' snogging every pretty girl at Hogwarts but this time it bugged me.He just shrugged again and went back to shoveling food into his hole.
McGonagall than came around and handed out schedules.I groaned as I read the subjects for a Monday Morning; Double Potions with Slughorn, History of Magic with Binns, Herbology with Sprout and Double Charms with Flitwick.
There were a few more groans from the people around me; obviously they had shared the same fate.
After Sirius inspected everyone's' Monday morning schedule he grinned. "Hey at least we all have potions together!"
We all groaned again, potions with Sirius was not the worst part of double potions, having double potions with the Slytherins wasn't the worst part but having Sirius in potions with the Slytherins was the worst part. We'd lose at least 100 points because Sirius couldn't resist in tormenting our rival house. He took great pleasure in starting fights and who ever was unfortunate enough to be his partner would most likely end up doing all the work because Sirius spent just as much time in the hall as he did in the classroom. And when he was in the classroom he was too busy flirting with the girls.
We all looked at each other and at the same time jumped up and ran out of the Great Hall. Everyone watching us and McGonagall yelling at all of us to slow down or she'd give us detentions. But having to be partners with Sirius for the rest of the year was worse than detention.
Frank, James and Remus who were quidditch players, were leading the way through the halls as Alice and I tried to keep up.
Even Lily was careening down the hall.
When we made it to the potions classroom the boys had already nabbed seats.
I was in front of Alice and Lily and was about to enter and rush over to the seat beside James when Professor Slughorn stopped me.
Alice and Lily rushed into the classroom and claimed the seats beside them.
Frank and Alice, Remus and Tasha Jones another Gryffindor and James and Lily all laughed at me as Slughorn told me he was disappointed at my O.W.L grade in potions. Sirius than walked in and took the seat at the back behind Lily and James and tapped the empty seat beside him after I apologized to Slughorn and told him this year I'd try harder.
Once he dismissed me I dragged myself over and flopped down. Sirius grinned at me "Looks like we're partners this year".
"Yeah, great" I said rolling my eyes.
I knew the class was going to drag by slowly and I wasn't looking forward to it.
Good? Yes? No? Let me know. I want reviews so I know if you guys like it or not or if I should take a break from writing.
