Chapter 9: Someone Must Get Hurt
Elliot looked up and James could see her face was red and her eyes were shining. Snape put down his glass, "I wonder what that pompous ass did to her now." James grabbed Snape's arm, "Don't say that about Sirius right in front of me Snivellus." Snape ripped himself away from James, "Pretty soon you may agree with me. Take a look." James glanced over to look at Sirius and Lily, and he had to grip the table to keep from falling back.
Sirius and Lily were kissing.
----------
Elliot noticed James's face and turned to see Sirius and Lily, "Oh no." She turned back, ran strait past Snape, and wrapped her arms around James. "Prongsie..." A low growl emanated from James's throat. "James stop… please…" Elliot tightened her grip.
"Elliot...Let go." James was still gripping the table and staring at the two lovers. "No. James, I'm sure you guys can..."
"Let go."
"James!"
"Let...GO!"
Elliot fell backwards onto the floor with a small 'oomph' and James started to push through the crowd towards Sirius and Lily. Snape helped Elliot up, "You okay?" She turned to look at James and bit her lip, "I am right now." She ripped away from him and began after James. Snape rolled his eyes and followed at a walk.
-----------
"Hey there Sirius." James tapped his friend on the shoulder. Sirius and Lily stopped kissing and Sirius turned his head just enough to be able to see James out of the corner of his eye. "Yes James?" James laughed a bit, "You really are something else." Sirius turned to face his friend. He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't get the chance. James had punched him right in the nose.
Sirius fell back into the wall. He winced in pain for a moment. "Bloody! James! I think you broke my nose!" Sirius was looking up at James while blood began pouring out of his nose. James cracked his knuckles, "Good. I think if I had to hit you again I would've really hurt my hand."
------------
Pyper turned to Honey, "See! I told you!" Honey smacked her friend, "That doesn't make it a good thing!" Danyl bit his lip, "I don't like this." He happened to glance at the doorway, and he noticed Remus running towards his friends. Honey seemed to have spotted it too. "Oh! Remus don't get involved!" Danyl rolled his eyes, "Like he'd just let them fight!"
------------
For a moment, James and Sirius stared at each other. No one moved, and the only noise was the music. Everyone had stopped dancing, and there was a large crowd around the two friends.
Snape pushed his way through the crowd and kneeled next to Sirius. The Gryffindor turned to face him, "Right now isn't the best time Snivvly." Snape chuckled, "I just wanted to take this moment to tell you a small fact of life."
"And what's that?"
"Karma's a bitch."
Sirius moved as to hit the Slytherin, but was beat to it by none other than Elliot. She smacked him hard enough to make him loose balance, "STAY OUT OF THIS SEVERUS!" Everyone was now staring wide-eyed at her. She swallowed, "I mean, don't we have enough problems?" A few people nodded in agreement. Snape stared at Elliot in pure amazement.
James was the first to snap back. "So where were we?" He pulled his wand out of his pocket, "O yeah, now I remember." He raised his wand and Sirius reached for his own.
"Expelliarmus!"
Both boys' wands shot out of their hands and everyone turned to see Professor McGonagall standing with her own wand looking livid. "I should've expected you boys to do something tonight." She looked at all the other students, then back at James and Sirius. "You'll both serve detention when classes resume, and you are no longer permitted at this dance."
Sirius stood up with help from Remus. James had already turned on his heel and headed out of the Great Hall.
---------------
"Well, what did you think would happen when he found out?" Remus asked Sirius as they walked back towards Gryffindor Tower. Sirius shrugged, "Hey, wanna do something about this broken nose for me Moony?" Remus shook his head, "Not yet."
"Why?"
"Because I agree with James. You did deserve it."
Sirius stopped dead in his tracks. Remus continued walking. "What are you pissed at me too?" Remus ignored him. Sirius closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Sirius?" he turned around to see Lily behind him. He smiled, "Go on and enjoy the dance. You didn't get kicked out." She bit her lip, "Want me to do something about that?" She pointed to his nose. "Uhm, yeah, that'd be wonderful." Lily grabbed her wand from her bag, "Episky." Sirius felt the spell working for a moment and suddenly the pain was gone. "Thanks Lily." She smiled, "Come on, we'll go clean you up."
---------------
Snape and Elliot didn't talk the rest of the night. Infact, Snape left a few minutes after Sirius and James. For a while, all people were talking about was the fight. Still, within the hour they had other things to talk about.
Aida was livid. She had been enjoying her date with Remus and couldn't stand that he'd left. Honey and Pyper were trying their best to cheer her up. Elliot had gone out to the courtyard.
As she was walking, she noticed Danielle sitting alone picking the little colored stones off her dress robes. "Danielle?" She looked up at Elliot and smiled. "Hi!" Elliot sat down next to her. She sighed, "So James got kicked out?"
"Yeah."
"He owes me punch."
-----------------
James sat in the common room with Remus. It was completely silent. Every few moments James would hit something or angrily ruffle his hair, but it was still awkward. Remus couldn't believe Sirius could be so cruel to James, and he felt horrible. Finally, James broke the silence.
"He better have a good reason for this." He took a breath, "And by good I don't mean his stupid 'checklist'." Remus rolled his eyes, "James, you know as well as I do that Sirius was NEVER like that. He didn't have a list." He turned and stared into the fire, "We don't need you fueling the rumors that he's a man-whore."
"Well, right now that's what he looks like to me."
"James."
"Why should I care what people think about him!?"
Remus got up and started walking towards the stairs, "I'm going to bed." James got to his feet and yelled after his friend, "So you're defending what he did then?"
Remus stopped dead, "No James, I don't condone it. But if you two are going to ruin this friendship because of a girl..." He looked down at his feet and clenched his fists, "After everything we've been through...especially you and Sirius...I don't think I could ever forgive either of you." And with that he walked upstairs.
