Sirius put his palms on the old wooden table and closed his eyes. "You know," he started as he turned around to face the intruder, "I didn't tell you about this room so you could come here whenever you felt like it."
Nikki got up from the bed and sat down in the chair across from Sirius. "I know, but cap'n told me what you were up to so I decided to stop by." She grabbed for the book as she said, "You can stand there and glare all you want I'm not leaving until you tell me what you're doing."
Sirius sighed and reluctantly sat down. "You do realize that you don't have to call him captain all the time, right?"
Sirius reached across the short table and reclaimed his book as Nikki started to talk. "It just seems weird referring to him as anything else." Nikki bit her bottom lip in thought. "Maybe if we hung out besides Quidditch then – hey I was looking at that."
Sirius raised his eyebrow. "I'm sorry this is my book-"
"The library's book."
"Fine. The book I checked out from the library and this is my room so I get to read it first."
Nikki raised her hands in surrender. "Fine. Fine. Whatever."
Nikki sat quietly while Sirius started to read for all of twenty seconds then she started to tap her foot. After that she got up and started wandering around. Then not even five minutes after pacing the small space she started to hum. "Ok, Merlin, you win. We'll both look at it as long as you shut the bloody hell up. Pull your chair around."
Nikki smiled and pulled her chair so it was right next to Sirius', "So what kind of spell are you looking for?"
Sirius let out another suffering sigh. "Bugger it all, you don't quit do you? I mean you really can't be quiet can you?"
"All I did was ask a question. What's up your hiney-hole?"
"Nothing I'm just frustrated is all. Trying to set up James and Evans is a lot more time consuming than I thought it would be so I haven't had anytime time to do anything for me. I haven't even had a decent snog in the last two weeks due to that stupid bet with Remus and now this." Sirius looked so dejected and sad that Nikki started laughing at him. "Oh go ahead laugh it up. Guess who's officially not helping anymore."
"Sirius … I'm sor … sor … sorry. I don't mean … to … laugh … but it's just … just … too funny," Nikki managed to get out between laughs before she slipped out of her chair and onto the floor.
Sirius glared down at her with his arms crossed waiting for her to calm down. As her giggles turned into faint shaky breathes he spoke, "Done?" Nikki nodded and stretched her arm out for Sirius to help her up. He looked at her hand then down at her. "Am I supposed to help up? So you laugh at my suffering and sacrificing and then you want my help. I see. I get it."
Nikki grabbed Sirius' hand and stood up. "Thanks now let's get to work shall we?" They had been looking through the book for only a few minutes before Sirius started to loose focus. She had seen this all happen before so she knew the signs well. The first sign of a bored Sirius Black was that he would start to play with the corner of the page. Next he would tap his fingers lightly on the table. Third he would lean back in his chair with his hands behind his head and look around the room for something to do. After that is when things would go down hill because if Sirius didn't find anything to do then he would pull out his wand … and that is never a good thing. Sirius had just leaned back in his chair when Nikki decided to pull his attention back. Fortunately for her she knew what could capture Sirius' attention the fastest: good old-fashion hormones.
Nikki straddled Sirius' chair and kissed him. Her first kiss was slow and shallow followed by two quick nips to his lower lip. Sirius didn't need anymore encouragement after that. His hands were in her hair before their mouths met again. He took control of the next kiss capturing her bottom lip between his as her hands slid from his shoulders to around his neck. His tongue sweep across her lips asking permission to enter. A soft moan vibrated through her as he entered her mouth. Once their breathing became irregular and heavy she pulled away. "I'll make a deal with you. We'll finish that once we find what you are looking for in the book ok?" Nikki proposed as she sat back in her chair. She looked over at Sirius who was still a little confused. "Brad and I broke up today," she said in explanation for her actions.
Sirius nodded. It was a well kept secret that Sirius and Nikki would hook-up. They were friends and they both had needs. That was all. So if they were both single than they would have each other. No harm, no foul: just friends helping friends, but Sirius still felt like he needed to know why she had broken up with Brad, not that beaking up with Brad was bad. Sirius thought Nikki was too good for him to begin with. "So why did you break up with the shagger? Not that I care or anything just-" Sirius kept his eyes clued to the book as he asked the question.
It took her a while to answer so Sirius looked over at Nikki to find her with her face scrunched up in thought. "He broke up with me actually."
That shocked Sirius, "Why?"
Nikki laughed a little and covered her face with her hand. "This is gunna sound so stupid," she said more to herself than him. "Because I wouldn't sleep with him. Don't look at me like that. I wasn't comfortable enough with him to actually do it so yeah …" she trailed off weakly.
Sirius was grinning at her like a cat that just drank all the crème. "You don't have to lie to me Nikki. Tell the truth: it's 'cause you only want to be with me, haw?"
Nikki pushed Sirius. "Oh shut upp and get back to work. Which of these sounds best: Lively Libido, Unchaining the Heart, Ruling Right and Wrong, or Inhibiting your Inhibitions?"
"Hmmm. I dunno. Unchaining the Heart sounds stupid and girlie. I don't see how Ruling Right and Wrong applies. What is Lively Libido?"
"Umm. I dunno let's see … page 334," Nikki flipped to the page, "Ok. This one will curb your sexual … Oh we don't want that. Looks like Inhibiting your Inhibitions it is."
"Ok, but what does it do?" Sirius asked as he pulled Nikki onto his lap.
"Well," she started as he kissed a trail along her neck. "it makes you loose your inhibitions. Kinda like when you're drunk I'd guess."
"Perfect." Sirius murr murred in as his mouth found the spot behind her ear that made her whimper.
"I think you need that Lively Libido thing." Nikki mumbled somewhat breathlessly.
Sirius smiled against her cheek, "Not when I have you here, pet."

James walked to the kitchens after his time on the pitch. He had stayed there long after Nikki had left just taking it all in. He realized that he was acting like a lovesick loser over Lily but it was hard not to when he wanted her so badly. At the pitch James decided that he would still go after Lily but he wouldn't be as desperate as he was being this year. James couldn't help but feel a bit of desperation; this was their second to last year at Hogwarts. He was only going to get a few more opportunities. He had to make all of them count.
He ran his hand through his hair out of habit as he walked into the kitchen. The first thing he heard was laughter coming from around the corner. As James followed the noise he saw Lily and Remus at one of the small tables off to the side of the larger house table replicas. Lily stopped laughing as soon as she saw James. He approached the table and stood at Remus' shoulder. "Don't stop your conversation on my account." James said even though Lily stayed quiet.
As James was talking a house elf came up to take his order. "What would master James want, sir?" The house elf's large eyes didn't blink as she concentrated on James' face.
"I'll have Cocoa and biscuits, like them, please."
Minci, the house elf, nodded emphatically causing her ears to flap back and forth. "Yes, master James, sir Minci will bring it right away."
James smiled as the house elf ran off and turned back to the table. "Can I sit down or is this a private table?"
Remus answered the question, even though James never took his eyes off Lily. "Of course you can, James. Right Lily?"
Lily blinked, breaking her connection with James, and looked at Remus in slight confusion as if her brain were two steps behind the conversation. "Oh, sure, yeah. Take a seat there's plenty of room," she said although it sounded as if she only said it to be polite.
The group had been talking for about fifteen minutes when Remus stood up from the table and stretched. "I should be getting back to my room I'm pretty beat. I'll see you both tomorrow." He waved a casual hand through the air as he exited the kitchen.
"So …" Lily started lamely as she traced the wood grain on the table.
"Yeah." James responded equally lamely. They sat in an awkward silence for a few seconds before James spoke again. "Hey do you want to try the best hot chocolate in the world?"
Lily's first reaction was to say no and leave the kitchen, but she was interested. "How do you know it's the best?"
James shrugged. "Personal opinion, I guess." James saw Lily's interest weaken so he added, "It comes with the perfect amount of homemade whipped cream that melts a little into the drink, which is just the perfect temperature. The Cocoa doesn't burn your mouth at all, but it is still hot enough to warm your insides. Best of all is the flavor, it's not sicklingly chocolately like most fancy places or wanna-be chocolataries make it." James could tell that he almost had Lily. One more push and she would agree without hesitation. James stood up came around the table with his lopsided grin firmly in place and offered her his hand. "C'mon, Lily, a little mischief never hurt anyone."
Lily smiled up at James as she took his hand. "Ok."
