I want to take a moment to remember the people that lost their lives in Norway. What happened is so horrible it can't be put into words. My heart and thoughts lie with those who lost anything or anyone at that day, so, yes, I just want to take one moment to express how sad I find this.
A/N: So the story is over 200 pages D: Which means you have read over 200 pages of crap! He he kidding. Thank you so much for reading all my two hundred pages! Now continue reading the rest please?
I'm once again in a car writing. But this time we're on a rather bumpy road.
The song that inspired me while writing this: Just a little girl – Trading Yesterday.
It's amazing.
I've got to admit, It takes five hours to drive to the place I was going and I have three hours of battery. And now (when I write this) I've got about one hour of driving left, two hours of battery and I haven't written a singly thing other than this A/N. Woops?
I'm going to tell you something. I'm there now. In the summerhouse I was going to.
Only thing that would make this better is if I had Wifi… Which I don't.
It's smaller than Harry's broom closet. Or at least my room is.
It's fan-freaking-tastic.
Now, no more whining. On with the chapter.
UPDATE July 24: I have WIFI! So I can update! HOW AWESOME? Now read:
Chapter 31
Marlene McKinnon, Mary Macdonald and Emmeline Vance.
I sigh and place my hand on Sirius' thigh.
We've been doing our homework together in the almost empty Common Room for an hour now.
Completely silent.
"Sirius, are you upset with me?"
Sirius looks over at me. At first his grey eyes just stare blankly into my eyes, and then he blinks and the color darkens.
"Why would I be?"
I lean back and lift my legs up and put them in his lap. "You seem angry."
He seems to hesitate before his hands slowly touch my legs, drawing some kind of pattern on them. "Someone may have said something." He manages out just above a whisper.
I raise my eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
He sighs. "I don't know her name. But some fifth year may have mentioned something about you and Remus…and then you and Remus were there, holding each other." His voice spat out the last words.
"What?"
He groans and his eyes narrow. "If you want to be with Remus you should."
"Do you hear yourself?" I manage out. "Are you totally blind? Are you seriously accusing me of this? Are you seriously suggesting I want to be with your best friend? Are you freaking serious?"
I saw his lips twitch a bit, like he was holding back a joke.
"Sirius, I don't want Remus. I wasn't flirting with Remus and if that slut Sarah Facet told you that, I'll kick her ass back to the Stone Age."
"Sarah Facet?"
"That's the girl who was groping your leg yesterday."
A sheepish smile forms on his lips. "I'm sorry for believing her." He gives away a sigh.
"Well you should be. Now I need to go find me a Mary and a bitch."
Sirius raises her eyebrows "What-"
"Later dear," I tell him with a sly smile as I kiss his lips, dragging my legs off his lap and then jump on the floor.
I'm so going to hurt that bitch.
-Hunting For Happiness –
Mary Macdonald
I've always said Sarah Facet is a bitch. That's why I call her Sarah Façade, because you can bet all your galleons that nothing about that girl is real.
Not the boobs. Not the ass. Not the personality. Andnotthe stories she tells.
At least I make sure there is some truth in my gossip.
I follow Marlene on our witch-hunt trying to act as if I don't enjoy this.
"So whatcha gonna do? Corner and yell at her?"
Marlene shrugs beside me. "I have some well picked words ready for her."
"She's been in love with Sirius for ages, this was bound to happen."
Marlene's eyes darken. "I don't know who that bitch thinks she is, but she can bet her ass I'm going to set her straight. That little asswhore thinks she can try to make my boyfriend think I'm cheating on him-"
I put a hand on her shoulder laughing "Chillax woman."
Marlene rolls her eyes and then suddenly stops, pointing a finger like a tip of a gun towards a brunette. "Booyah."
I roll my eyes, but can't stop my self from thinking:This will be fun.
"Excuse me. Can I have a word Facet?"
Sarah Facet turns around and takes one look at Marlene before scowling.
"What do you want?" she says, her tone makes my arms cross as I scowl at her from my place behind Lene – I'm her best friend, its my job to back her up, and, besides, I hate Facet with a passion.
"I want to have a word with you about not talking about my boyfriend anymore."
The scowl doesn't leave either girl's face. "You can't tell me who to talk about and who not to. And, besides, when Sirius finds out how much a cheating whore you are, he'll dump you and guess who'll be there for him? Me."
She sends Marlene a provoking look and I'm really close to hitting her, but Marlene beats me to it.
Her hand makes contact with Sarah's cheek and I watch as her face flies to the right.
"Touch him again and I'll personally destroy you." Marlene spits out, her voice vicious, before she turns around and stalks away, leaving behind a speechless Sarah.
"Marlene!" I yell as I run after her, clutching my sides. "That was hilarious! Her face. Priceless! And I think you can see the red mark your hand left-"
I look at her and she seems to be fighting her laughter herself. "That felt good."
"Bet it did," I say and link my arms with hers. "Remind me not to try to steal Black away from you. That looked like it hurt."
Marlene gives away a snort but smiles at me a little. "Well now you know what happens when bitches cross another bitch."

Emmeline Vance.
I nervously look over at Desiree and Valerie; both of them are sitting almost ontopof each other whispering about something.
Narcissa and I sit next to each other in silence. She's writing Lucius again.
I cough and she looks up and at me.
I point a finger at Des and Val. "What are they talking about?"
Narcissa puts her quill down and leans closer to me. "The plan against Potter and the other Gryffs."
Right. Fuck.
"Oh…I'd forgotten about that."
Narcissa raised her eyebrows. "You're still in right?"
No.
"Well-"
"Em, youcan'tback out now. Avery is going to go bloody murderer on your ass." Narcissa sighs, "Look, we'll make sure Potter wont find out it was you. This is what you have to do to get Avery and Snape and the others to trust you.
I make a face but nod. I know I'm too deep in this now to back away.
Valerie suddenly starts giggling rather loudly, causing Narcissa to raise her eyebrows and couch loudly. "A word, Val?"
Val looks up at us, shrugging her shoulder. "Sure what's up, Ciss?"
Desiree also stops the giggling and looks up, giving me a little wink.
"Are you guys ever going to tell me what you're doing?'
Valerie rolls her eyes "We're just making final touches to the plan."
Desiree nods excited. "Ave came up with this epic plan to teach the Gryffs a little lesson." She shrugged. "It's nothing bad, bad,bad,like could get us kicked out of the school, I think. But it's good enough."
My eyebrows rise "Can't you tell –"
Valerie rolls her eyes, leaning closer to us and cuts me off. "Em, we can't talk about the details here, and, because you can't actually go to the Slytherin Common room, we have to keep it a secret. We'll fill you in once it all happens."
I give away a sigh, glancing at the clock. "I think I better get going up to the tower then…"
Desiree raises her eyebrows. "You have thirty minutes until curfew, what's the rush?"
I shrug trying to find a good reason why I have to leave. "I've got the Charms essay and all."
Desiree nods slowly but doesn't seem to buy it. "You'll be here though? Two a.m. tonight?"
My eyes lit up. "What? We're doing this tonight?"
"Yes. The plan changed. Didn't we tell you? Meet us outside Gryffindor tower tonight, at 2. Alone, Em. Okay?"
My whole body tenses as the three girls stare at me.
"I…uh…" I force my self to nod. "Alright. Two. Got it."
- Hunting For Happiness -
My eyes fly open because of the small peeping noise that comes from my alarm clock, I turn it off quickly and make sure no one else has woken up.
This is madness. This can't go well. This is going to backfire.
My whole body shakes as I pull my robe over my pajamas and slip into socks before grabbing my wand and slowly heading towards the door. Praying that no one will move and wakeup.
No one does and I open the door, I slowly slide out of it and run down the stairs.
The Common Room is dark and empty and I push the portrait away and climb out as fast as I can.
"Hello?"
"EM!"
I turn around and see Valerie, Desiree, and Narcissa standing behind me all dressed in black cloaks.
My heart starts pounding again. "Where is the rest?"
"The guys are on their way." Narcissa says quickly.
"Should we move?"
Valerie shakes her head. "Nope, they are meeting us here-"
She has hardly finished the sentence when Desiree jumps up.
"Don't touch me!" She yells out and slaps Mulciber on the shoulder as he appears behind her, grinning a bit.
Avery also comes out of the shadows wearing an annoyed look and Snape follows him.
"Got it?" Avery turns to Valerie who rolls her eyes but shakes her head.
She then turns to me. "Em, we've only got one thing for you to do…"
"Oh?"
My heart eases. One thing? That isn't that bad, only one thing…
"Give us the password to the Gryffindor Tower."
Can anyone smell trouble?
I'm sorry for the shortance – yes that is a word in my world.
I got a review asking for drama, and I can assure you guys…there will be drama. Chapter 34 is drama. Drama. Draaaama. And obviously this is drama. So yay drama!
I'm not sure if I like this chapter but oh well, there it is anyway.
Now, I'm going to go write the next chapter and if it flows like I'm hoping it will, I can update again soon-ish!
Review?
