Note: OK guys, nobody has so far reviewed my story and if nobody bothers this will be the last chapter. It's not that difficult, you know and it's really important for me. Thanks!

Chapter 2 – Double Detention

Sarah, Lily, Mary and Lynn sat in the best armchairs at the fireplace and moaned other too much homework, boyfriends and their life in general.

Lily was still angry with James, Mary still whiny because of Sirius and Sarah was furious about her detention and utterly confused because of her new Remus-feelings.

Only Lynn was in a perfectly good mood.

"Why are you all sulky, girls? I'd be happy if I were you. Lils, Potter, most handsome guy alive, fancies you, Sarah has detention with hot Sirius Black and Mary at least kissed him, what's the matter?" she asked happily.

They all glared at her, but nobody bothered to answer. Lily mimed vomiting behind her back.

"You are in detention with Black? Poor girl." Anne Belt, their pretty dorm mate joined them. "He's such a git. Mary you should be happy being rid of him" she added with a smile and continued. "Any way girls, I have to tell you some news. Please don't tell anyone else though. I wanted to tell you ages ago but well… there was no opportunity. However, I'm…"

"Sorry to interrupt you, love, but Sarah and I have to go or we'll be late for McGonagall." Sirius Black grinned down at them.

"Damn! You're right! Bye, girls, tell me this important news later, ok?" Sarah glanced at her watch and noticed they had only five minutes left.

"Good night, ladies!" Sirius winked at them and smiled, his sucking smile, which made Mary blush, Lynn nearly faint and had absolutely no effect on Anne and Lily. Sirius frowned a little and added: "I'm really sorry for interrupting your thrilling story, Anne-darling!" He conjured a rose and a box of chocolates out of thin air and handed them to a stony faced Anne. "You look really hot, did I mention that?"

Anne threw a few very well chosen and very true insults at him. Good girl. Shit! McGonagall! Sarah tucked Sirius' sleeve and they hurried out, cursing. Though they were already late, Sirius couldn't resist calling "Sweet dreams, Belt!" and give Lynn, who batted her eyelashes at him, a wink.

"You should be really happy about having detention with me!" Sirius panted as they hurried along the endless corridors. Git!

"Oh, I'm really happy! Idiot! After all it's your fault we are in detention." Sarah snapped, speeding up.

"No, you started hexing me, Harris! I only asked if you fancy me." He yelled.

"It was insulting. You are breaking the hearts of my friends without caring about their feelings. By the way would you've kissed me if I'd said yes?" Why did I say this? He'll think I really fancy him. Though Remus is much cuter. No! I'm crazy. What is the matter with me today?

"I don't know…" said Sirius and sounded as if he was earnestly considering the matter. "I don't think so. I'd be afraid you'll bite of my tongue if I try."

"First true and intelligent thing you said today, Black!" Sarah called back and stopped at the door of Professor McGonagall's office. They knocked.

"You are late! Mr. Black, Miss Harris first you duel in the Great Hall, now you are late for your detention. I'm not very pleased with you! 10 points from Gryffindor, each!" Cow. It's her house, too! No over teacher is that strict!

They both mumbled "sorry" and took their seats as far as possible away from each other.

"Oh no, your not going to write lines. You will clean the transfiguration classroom. My 4th year students practiced transfiguring birds into flower pots and there is a … well mess in there. Bird droppings and feathers, a bit earth. No magic! Muggle cleaning!"

It was very dull and dirty work. But this is the point of detention. At least Sarah had not to speak to Sirius a lot. McGonagall was watching them while she was correcting some essays and made sure they were working without interruption.

After one and a half hour they finished. Sarah knew she could have cleaned the room with one flourish of her wand, but no magic was allowed. Typical!

"Very well, you may leave. But I don't want any of you do such a thing again."

They both nodded and left the room quietly.

They were in hurry both had still homework to do, in Sirius case to copy, and Sarah wanted to hear the news Anne tried to tell them earlier.

"C'mon! Let's take this secret passageway, it'll be much quicker." Sirius pushed a tapestry aside and vanished. Sarah hesitated for a second and followed. Shit is this dark!

"Lumos" she whispered. The scene lightened. They were not the only ones in here. A couple stood in the shadows arms tightly wrapped around each other. Snogging. They hadn't noticed them enter.

"Let's get out of here, Harris." Sirius hissed. Sarah nodded; this was not the sort of scene she liked to witness.

"Nox."

"Ouch!" Sirius yelped. "This was my bloody foot."

"Shut up, Black!" – "Don't behave like a stupid troll, Harris!"

"Lumos" a very familiar soft voice said clearly and the whole scene lightened again.

"Remus!"

"Anne!"

"Hey, Sirius, hallo, Sarah! Er… finished detention yet?" Remus asked weakly, his arms still around Anne's waist.

They broke up. Both were very red and tried hard not to meet their friends' eyes.

Neither Sarah nor Sirius said a word, they just stared. No, no. This wasn't possible! Remus would have told me if he has a girlfriend, would he? We're friends. And Anne is my friend, too! No, not anymore.

Sarah felt a great rush of annoyance and anger. This was betrayal of friendship! Remus was hers alone. Anne… she had always been a bitch, hadn't she?

"Well, I was about to tell you, earlier. We're dating for a week. Sorry we didn't tell you before now, but we wanted to keep it…er… sort of secret, you know?" Anne finally broke the awkward silence.

As both Sarah and Sirius still didn't say something Remus added:

"We did it because of the Skeeter girl, she spreads a lot rumours and you know with my … er … problem… we thought it best not to…" he trailed away, this cute apologetic look on his face. No! He loves Anne. They are happy and I should be happy for them.

"OK… cool" Sarah said rather unconvincingly "That's … ehm… great news." She tried to smile but she only managed a grimace.

"Yeah!" Sirius finally managed to open his mouth, but sounded as if he had a bad cold or something. Oh no! I want to vanish on the spot!

"We… go than. OK? We leave you alone" Sirius croaked, but neither he nor Sarah moved an inch.

Anne waited a moment, but as they remained were they stood she mumbled something about "meant to go any way" and "already late" took Remus' hand and pulled him out of the passageway.

Remus looked back and she stared into his beautiful and lively amber eyes maybe a bit too long, he frowned and whispered "nox". Darkness surrounded them once more.

She remained were she was and so did Sirius. They stood in silence for a long time both deep in thought until they whispered in unison:

"This just can't be!"

I hope you liked it! And if you did review please! If you didn't review please!

So I think the true story started now, but it will only continue if I get some reviews… Please, I'm desperate!
