Flash

A/N: No, I'm not dead. Don't look so disappointed. I just ran out of creative-ness in the large, randomness many call my head. I spent the last few weeks either doing homework, or trying to spark my creative side by reading loads of different fanfics. But here it is: Flash ch 6.
Disclaimer: I'm still doing these, and I'm still stupid. And, unless I have a sudden brainwave, or thought-shower, or whatever they call them these days, I will continue to be stupid.
Being straddled by a vivacious red-head was so overrated.
At least Sirius thought so, as Lily jumped on him, and pinned him to the floor.
'What this time Lils?' he asked
'You, Sirius Black, have ruined my world!'
'That sounds dramatic… and too much effort. You sure it was me?'
'YES! You are James' best friend-'
'-Nice observation skills – tell me, any more inner thoughts to share?'
Lily ignored his sarcasm.
'-and you are the only person that knows my feelings for James-'
'-Well, other than the whole of Hogwarts-'
'-so you must've told him- Wait, the WHOLE of HOGWARTS? BLACK!'
'What? I didn't do anything'
'You must've. Now the whole of Hogwarts knows!'
'Well whose fault is that?'
'Yours, of course'
'Lils, that was a rhetorical question'
'Wasn't 'cos I just answered it'
'I can see what Alice means' Sirius muttered.
'What did Alice say to you?' Lily jumped on his words quicker than fleas on a hedgehog (because Sirius used to have a hedgehog, but he accidently might have let it loose in McGonagall's classroom, and it was bye-bye Spikey).
'Err' Sirius tried changing the subject 'Lily can you get off me before-'
'James, I know. He always turns up at the wrong times'
'Lovely Lils, but could you stop monologue-ing before-'
'Hey-'
'-Not again'
'-Remus' Lily finished, smirking.
Sirius watched as Remus' shoes came closer and closer.
'Honestly Sirius, could you leave poor Lily alone?' Came Remus' voice.
'What? She jumped on me!'
'You must've done something to deserve it. But take my advice, and both of you leave. Now. James is headed this way and he's-'
'Let me guess. He wants to destroy me, and redecorate the walls of Hogwarts'
'Yep, that's about right. But redecorate?'
'With my brain, of course. I can see it now – James Potter: Redecoration Murderer.'
'Sirius?'
'Yes Lily?'
'Shut up'
'SIRIUS BLACK' Sirius turned to see James glaring at him. Professor Slughorn meandered his way over to his and Lily's table.
'Mr Black'
'Yes Professor?'
'It seems Mr Potter has, well, shall we say blown his top?'
'Blown his top?'
'Gotten overly angry with you to a point that I would greatly fear for your life. Death can be fatal, you know'
'Oh'
'I would also, along with Mr Potter by the sounds of things, greatly appreciate if you would leave your personal life outside of my classroom, and stop flirting with Ms Evans'
Lily blushed a bright red, as Sirius turned to look at her.
'But Professor, I wasn't-'
'Don't argue, my boy, you may do whatever you please with Ms Evans in your own time-' Sirius watched Lily shrink under the table, as James' fist broke the small vial of dragon's blood he happened to be holding at that precise moment '-but please, leave it outside of my lesson time.' He turned away. 'Now, Mr Potter, let's get you cleaned up, shall we?'
Sirius felt his mobile phone buzz.
'Was that your phone?' Lily asked him.
'Yep. No prizes for guessing who it's from' he gestured to James, who was glaring daggers at him, from where he was in the room, Slughorn inspecting his hand.
I'm gonna kill you, Black
'Well isn't that jolly' said Sirius dryly, showing Lily. She scowled.
'He must know there's nothing between us' she started 'I'll text him, now'
Sirius' eyes widened. He grabbed Lily's mobile phone out of her hands, and chucked through the store cupboard door, which just happened to be closed.
'SIRIUS BLAC-' Sirius quickly put his hand over her mouth, and smiled politely to Professor Slughorn, who put his hands up, and pretended not to notice.
'Shh, can you not hear it?' Sirius stage- whispered to Lily.
'Hear what?' she said angrily 'All I can remember hearing is the sound of splintering wood, and 25 Galleons dropping out of my pockets'
'The music' announced Sirius, completely ignoring her comments 'Dance with me!' And with that, he grabbed Lily, and began to turn them on the floor, flicking his wand to give them some music.
'SIRIUS BLACK' James rushed towards the dancing Sirius and the flustered Lily, who quickly tore Sirius off her, and shoved him toward the door. Sirius squeaked, but started running for the door.
'Move, idiot!' Lily yelled, and stepped back into Alice, who knocked over her Amortentia all over Marlene, who just happened to see Sirius dash out of the door, and screamed 'Sirius, my darling! I'm coming!' Marlene's screeching awoke Peter, next to her. He jumped up, and attempted to run after James and Sirius, but slipped on the rapidly spreading Amortentia, and fell over. Lily and Alice watched in a mixture of shock, horror, and disbelief as he jumped upon the table and started reciting Shakespeare to Slughorn, who was stood in horror as the event unfolded before his eyes.
'Oh great' sighed Lily, as she and Alice shared a look, and she dashed out of the door, following Marlene who was following James, who was following a worried looking Sirius Black. She sighed. These were her best friends.
I'm sure it's the hair.
Sirius' replica of James phone buzzed for what seemed the millionth time that day.
'Again?' Marlene inquired groggily.
'Yep. Can't seem to stay away, these two' he replied. James' phone buzzed again.
What about your hair?
You are attracted to it. How could you not be? I reckon it's the way my hair does that little flick – that's what you like.
There are a couple of things wrong with that sentence. 1) You are assuming I like you. 2) You are assuming that I like your hair and 3) You are WAY overestimating your hair. Arrogant toerag.
Hey! There was no call for that, was there Evans?
I saw an opportunity, and I took it.
Hmph.
That shut you up, didn't it, Potter?
Hardly. I was just being the more mature in this relationship.
What relationship? We haven't got a relationship?
Well that's not my fault, is it?
I never said I wanted one.
Ahh, but it was in your eyes, my dear Lily-flower. It was in your eyes.
Potter, you can't see my eyes through a mobile phone.
Maybe I'm not looking at the phone.
You'd better be.
But, my dearest Lily-flower, you know that you secretly love my undying attention.
No, I really don't. Just when I thought you were getting better.
You thought I was an OK guy?
Don't get too excited, Romeo, I just thought you were progressing from Arrogant Toerag.
To what? Devilishly Handsome, Clever, Sexy, and oh-so Fanciable?
No, to Slightly Less Arrogant Toerag.
Woo! 2nd base with Evans! I thought this day would never come!
Seriously Potter, you just moved from hate to really, really, really disliked.
Aww, Evans, I never knew you cared so much.
I still don't.
You do. Deep down inside you know you've got a soft spot for a certain Mr Potter.
No, I'm fairly sure that your Dad's definitely out of my age group. Besides, I've never met him.
NOT what I meant.
You know, I never really saw you as a matchmaker. Especially not with your parents.
Evans.
But, hey, Looks can be deceiving.
EVANS!
You called?
I love you.
Lily gasped. So did Sirius and Marlene. Unfortunately Lily heard Sirius' 'manly' gasp.
What're you shocked about, Black?
Oh, you know, Marlene.
What about Marly?
The fact that she met a horse in France last year, when she visited Auschwitz, that talked, but also force fed her hay.
Sirius had never been that brilliant with lies on the spot. It had always been James. He had just charmed the teachers into letting him off. It didn't always work.
Black, I know for a fact that Marlene went to Switzerland last year skiing, Auschwitz is in Poland, and horses don't talk. Or force feed people hay.
You never know. Could've been a magical horse.
No, Black just no. Now tell me what you were really gasping at.
Er, really sorry Lils, but gotta go. Mum's calling – family issues you know.
Your mother hates Muggles, Sirius. I highly doubt she will be using a mobile phone.
Black?
Black? Don't you dare not reply!
Ugh. You are so irritating.
Why thank you! I do think it to be one of my better aspects.
So now you reply.
Just go back to pretending to listen to the lecture, Evans. Oh, and grab me one of those Quick Quotes Quills, will ya? They look useful.
Sirius put his phone away, and heard the familiar buzz of James' mobile.
Stupid auto-correct! I meant to say I love your hair today, Evans, when I accidently pressed the send button.
So you don't love me?
Er, Evans, you're giving a guy mixed signals back here. Please. I'm male. I need straight-forward answers, not you trying to be an enigma.
I'm not trying, James. I'm succeeding.
You called me James!
Oh shut it, Potter.
You are soo in denial.
Am not.
Are too.
Am not.
That's what they all say.
I'm not in denial!
Yeah, you are. You love me back, right?!
I'm not answering that.
You just did.
Evans?
Evans?
Yes?
See, you did answer.
Potter, you are using unnecessary energy by talking to me. Stop it.
But you're talking back?
Potter, I said stop it.
Yes ma'am.
'Sirius!' Lily called from down the corridor.
'Yes?' Sirius turned around to see who was calling him. He was walking with Marlene on his way to Charms class, discussing her favourite subject – James and Lily's relationship, or lack of.
'Do you have my phone?' She asked 'I seem to recall that someone threw it through the store cupboard door in Potions earlier' she finished, looking pointedly at Sirius.
'Oh, yeah, Lils. I got it for you at break, when I helped ol' Sluggy fix his door. Couple o' fixing charms, cleaning charms and such like, and it's as good as new'
'Thanks, but I've got to ask why they were necessary in the first place?'
'Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies'
Lily didn't look pleased, but pressed forward, leaving Sirius and Marlene to meander to Charms at their own pace.
'Why did you throw it through the door, Sirius?' Marlene asked.
'Well, it was going to make my phone buzz as well'
'And?'
'And it could've got us found out. I had to stop it.'
'Why don't you just turn the vibrate off?'
'Oh'
'Yes, oh. C'mere, I'll show you how to do it'
A/N: I hope this was ok for y'all, I don' t think it's brill, but hey. I might be under selling myself. Highly unlikely, but you never know.
Sorry for the wait peeps, but, as I said earlier creativity hasn't been my strong point lately – I did write a poem though! Wanna hear it?
Ok, I hear y'all saying no… I'll put it in the next chapter!
Anyway, thanks y'all for sticking with Flash, but it hasn't got much longer to go. The sun is setting on this fanfic.
Ok, I'll leave all you good folks to go and read something else – something probably more interesting. Review, though, would ya?!
Love to y'all
