Chapter Nineteen

'GETTING CAUGHT'

Needless to say after the 'massive' Easter party thrown by Sirius Black, Emily wasn't feeling well and she blamed him for her hangover the day after – the day everyone returned to school for a new term, "Really Sirius, alcohol, did you not hear about my obsession?" Emily muttered as she tended to her headache in the Head Girl and Boy Common Room (she was only there to get away from the noise in the Gryffindor one; she wouldn't have been there otherwise).

"You have an obsession with Alcohol?" Sirius laughed, smirking at her. Of course he hadn't heard about it, but presumed it after the amount she had consumed. "Oh very funny," She rolled her eyes, lying down on the sofa, her arm across her face.

"You look awful," Sirius commented, "Gee, I wonder why," Emily replied sarcastically, her voice in a hushed tone. Sirius grinned and walked over to her, "Do you remember that talk we had, the one on March 1st?"

"How could I have forgotten?"

"I really do mean it,"

"I know you do, and Sirius it's a nice offer."

"But?"

"You can't walk out of here at the end of the school year claiming to be innocent. They'll lock you up believing you're a murderous lunatic," Emily growled, slowly moving her arm from her face, her face pained.

"Headache?"

"Headache,"

"Want me to kiss it better?"

"A kiss won't help my head Sirius," Emily snorted, "But I'll accept your offer," she laughed, musing at the idea. Sirius bent over her and kissed her forehead softly, lingering for a moment, breathing in her scent.

A swirl of green flames erupted silently in the fire of the Common Room – Jack Wilkes had flooed there, annoyed with the hideously loud behaviour that was running through the Ravenclaw Common Room. He stopped abruptly when he noticed that the Common Room already had people sitting – or lying – in it.

Jack recognised a voice, the female voice. It was Emily's.

"How could I have forgotten?" She had asked. Jack had slumped into the shadows of the fireplace, eavesdropping on her conversation with the man that he wasn't familiar with.

"I really do mean it,"

"I know you do, and Sirius it's a nice offer,"

'Sirius…?' Jack thought, 'Where've I heard that name before?'

"But?"

"You can't walk out of here at the end of the school year claiming to be innocent. They'll lock you up, believing that you're a murderous lunatic," Emily growled.

It was then when it hit Jack – he realised who this man was, what he was. He was that murderer, the one who had escaped from Azkaban two years ago. He was Sirius Black.

What was Emily doing with him? Unquestionably she knew who he was, and what he'd done?

"Headache?" Black had asked, and Jack scowled. "Headache," Emily confirmed, "Want me to kiss it better?" Jacks scowl deepened, becoming a grimace, a frightening glare.

"A kiss won't help my head Sirius," Emily snorted – was she amused? "But I'll accept your offer,"

Jack couldn't – and wouldn't – take anymore of this, and he flooed immediately to Ravenclaw tower and ran out of the Common Room.

Running throughout the corridors, Jack thought of only one place: Dumbledore's office. He had to tell someone about Black's intrusion of the school, and possibly a student's virtue.

As he dashed through the hallow halls of Hogwarts, Jack crashed into Professor Snape and sent him tumbling over.

"Wilkes!" Snape barked, "Detention every night this—"

"Professor Snape sir! Sirius Black's in the Head Girl and Boy Common Room! Making out with a student!" Jack breathed, panting for breath. "What?" Snape roared, "Which student? Answer me boy!"

"I—I don't know Sir…I didn't see," Jack lied. He hoped he was doing this for the best. "But I think he's intruded upon her virtue,"

"This won't do. I won't allow this, even if it's Black. Wilkes, follow me to the Headmasters office immediately, we'll floo to the designated area," Snape snarled, his voice just as greasy and oily as his hair.

Uh-oh, they've been caught. This can't be good. Damn Jack Wilkes and his Head Boy-ness.
I didn't plan this either ... it just happened.
damn, i wonder what Emily will say?
