So this is going to be a three part series...not sure when the second half will come around...but soon I think.

Please leave a review and let me know what you think!


Sirius closed the door carefully behind him, the noise from the ruckus happening inside the classroom disappearing almost instantly.

He checked his watch, doing the math quickly in his head. Fifteen minutes, it had taken him fifteen minutes to complete his Defense final exam, with full marks of course.

Slipping to the floor he crossed his legs and settled down to wait for Marlene, she had promised him a special 'Holiday Treat' after exams were over which he certainly didn't want to miss. Picking at his nails he looked up when the door opened again roughly ten minutes later, the second person to finish the exam stepping out.

James froze when he saw Sirius there.

"Black."

"Potter."

The door swung shut and they stared at each other in silence, the hallways deserted except for them. It was the first time they had been alone together since...well...since the Prank.

James swallowed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Are you...uhh...going home for the holidays?" He asked, his mouth like sandpaper it was so dry.

"Yeah."

"Ah." He looked away from his once best friend, "because I saw your name on McGonagall's list."

Sirius ripped a hangnail off in one fluid motion, a speck of red blood growing around his nail.

"Parents changed their mind."

Silence took over again, James staring at the red blood on Sirius' finger.

"That should be fun then."

Letting out a dry laugh Sirius looked up at him.

"Sure it will Potter, let's see how much fun I'll have getting cursed half way to hell by my mother."

James opened his mouth to say something but Sirius beat him too it, the first signs of life that he had showed in a while.

"What? What you think because I fucked up one goddamn time that all of a sudden I'm the perfect pureblood son again? I'm just another slytherin prick like the rest of them Potter?!" Bitterness dripping from his words.

"It wasn't just one fucking time Black! And it wasn't like you forgot to take notes in class, you nearly killed someone!"

"Yeah! I fucked up! I get it! That doesn't change who I am, I'm not about to rethink my entire life because I made one bloody mistake! No matter how big!"

"You nearly killed Snape! You could have gotten Remus expelled! You could have gotten all of us expelled!"

"I get that! You think I don't fucking understand that!? After all the shit I went through to clear this all up!?"

"You served a few bloody detentions!"

"You don't know the fucking half of it Potter!" Sirius spat, looking livid.

"You fucked up, and you have to fucking pay for it! That's how the real world works Black!"

"And what do you know about the real world Potter!? You didn't even ask for a fucking explanation, just settled for breaking my fucking face! You and you're perfect goddamn life!" Sirius stood suddenly, grey eyes burning, he shoved James sharply.

"You know what?! Fuck you Potter! Fuck you and your fucking life! I don't give a shit anymore!" He snarled, storming off down the hallway, trying to get as far away from James fucking Potter as he could.

If Marlene wanted him she could find him herself.

He was done with this.

Done with it all.

James Potter could go to hell.


So...part one...what do you guys think?
