Chapter 6

I HUNGER!

so only 3 reviews! u all sadden me!

"Uh, hi Lily." James said nervously as he walked through the curtain. His hand already in his messy jet black hair.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well I…"

"You what? You dropped me off a broom? You insulted me, so I let go. And it was a bad idea! And if you ever say shhh you'll see to me again, I will kill you!" Her voice rose as she finished the sentence.

"What's going on in here?" Madam Pomfrey demanded appearing out of nowhere.

James ran his hand through his hair once more. "I'm here to teach Lily Transfiguration." He said it as a barely audible whisper.

"Your what?" Came both voices at once; one couldn't hear, the other was outraged.

"Umm, Im here to teach Lily Transfiguration." He said slightly louder but just as awkwardly.

Madam Pomfrey gave a curt nod and turned on her heel. The second she was out of hear shot LIly turned to James angrily.

"Where's Sam?" She demanded.

"Sam couldn't come, so she asked me-"

"What do you mean she couldn't come?"

""She has Quidditch practice."

"Oh yeah." She replied snakily. "She has practice without the captain?"

"Well it's only for Beaters, I'm a chaser." He mentally congratulated himself for on the spot thinking.

"So you left Sam and Sirius alone, with a pair of Bludgers and two clubs. And your supposed to teach me something? Great, it's the blind leading the blind in here."

"I left them in Remus' capable hands. And as you know, I happened to be very apt at Transfiguration, thank you very much."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!" He said in a commanding tone. remembering what Sam said about LIly's difficulty with animal Transfiguration, took out his wand and easily turned the lamp beside her into a bunny rabbit, and then back into a lamp.

LIly sat there shocked and truth be told rather jealous. He made it look so easy. I bet he doesn't ever study! Not fair!

James smile and dropped a textbook on to Lily's lap gently.

"So page 357 then?"

Lily just nodded and opened the book.

"Leave me alone SIrius!"

"Common babe, we're supposed to be practicing."

"Quidditch was just a convent lie bone head!"

"Who said anything about Quidditch?" He said with a wink.

Sam promptly threw her book at his head. He caught it and examined it.

"Damn you and your fast hands!" She muttered.

"You know I get that a lot." He said with a sly smile.

Sam cracked up laughing and SIrius was caught off guard. He had expected to be smacked.

"Fuck." She said. "If that wasn't so funny I'd beat the shit out of you."

"Ha! I'm twice your size. What are you five foot?"

"I'm five-three jack-ass!"

SIrius just laughed and stood up to his full height of six two and a half, as he always pointed out. "Oh no! I'm so scared!" He mocked.

She grabbed a pillow from next to her and chucked it at him, half amused, half confused, half pissed off and half in love.

He only caught in and placed it behind his back so he was no longer leaning just against the wall.

The Common Room was basically empty. It was six and most had gone down for dinner. The sun was setting and the fire had just magically turned itself on.

The two of them had stayed to make sure Lily hadn't slaughtered James and disposed of the body.

Sirius' stomach grumbled.

"Common! Let's go get dinner! I hunger."

"We promised we'd wait for James."

"But I hunger!"

"We have to see how things, we-"

"Can't you hear me woman? I FREAKING HUNGER!"

"I hate when you call me women, you know." She stated matter-of-factly.

"Well it seems you hate everything I do Sammi dearest."

She shrugged and shook her head slightly. "Not everything."

"Oh yeah? Name three things you like about me!"

"But-"

"Do it!"

"I…ummm-"

"You can't, can you. Fuck that's sad."

"I can! I just might not care to share!"

He gave her a look.

"What? It's personal!" She said defensively.

"I'll do yours after." He said eyes twinkling. He had the advantage of knowing one of her greatest weaknesses. Curiosity killed the cat. However, as Sam always pointed out, cats get nine lives.

"Fine!"

"Victory!" He cried and did a mini and very dorky dance.

"Well…Your a great Beater."

"Ok that's one."

"You a decent prankster."

"Oh I am so more than decent."

"Fine, fine, your a good prankster, but not as good as I am." She said the last part with a smug smile and stuck her tongue out.

"If you stick your tongue out I will steal it you know."

She blushed furiously. "Hey, that's my line! You stole it."

"Take it as a compliment love. It was good enough to be worth stealing."

She looked away.

"So a third, yeah?" she muttered.

He just smile. Silently praying the last thing would be about him, not about things he was good at.

The room was silent. SIrius looked disappointed.

"You honestly can't think of three things, that's just sad."

He looked crest-fallen.

Sam hastily added, "You make me laugh."

Her eyes focused on the fire.

Sirius smiled. Not his usually mischievous smirk, but an honest-to-god genuine grin. Yet he said nothing, scared that if he did she might retract the statement.

Sam felt awkward and almost instantly regretted her words. She wondered how he had that effect on her. Such a normally guarded person, he broke down all her barriers and made her brain go to goo.

"So let's go get dinner then."
