Yep, chapter 10 already, here's a longer chapter for you. Sorry for all the grammar, spelling mistakes ect.

Am I Mary sue-ing Arty?

Please review

"What do you mean, you can't fix it?" I had to keep reminding myself that I couldn't scream at the Headmaster, I'll save that honour for Black back in the common room.

We had managed to get back into standing position as the matron had re-entered. We had then had to force down many vile tasting potions that didn't make any difference save to make me feel even more sick than I already did. She eventually gave up and sent us to the head.

Walking when you can't go further than 12 inches from someone is really, really hard. There was one very nasty incident on the fourth floor consisting of me tripping over my feet on a completely flat surface ( a talent of mine) yanking Black down on top of me ( he is seriously heavy ) who tried to save us both by grabbing a suit of armour that happened to be nearby. This failed and brought the armour down as well. I was almost glad I was underneath, judging by the swearing going on upstairs Black was in a great deal of pain.

Good

Finally, with much muffled swearing, we had made it to Dumbledore's office on the 7th floor. Judging by the confused glances we received on the way we looked as stupid as I felt.

Because of the bloody 12 inches I was having to walk close to Black. Very close. Like shoulders brushing close. And if he decided to stop ( which he did frequently just to annoy me) and being so much larger than me (I'm tall for a girl, 5 8"ish but seriously he tops 6 feet easy and he is kinda ripped- I know, I've seen him shirtless too many times) that I was having problems remaining upright.

I think the people passing us thought I was drunk which is stupid, I hadn't even had dinner, never mind alcohol. Thankfully though most people were stuffing their faces in the great hall. I couldn't believe it but I'd been unconscious for about 5 hours.

5 hours sharing a bed with an unconscious, shirtless Sirius. I mean Black.

It's enough to give anyone nightmares.

So here we were in the headmasters office, being told he couldn't fix. The greatest wizard in the world, the only one You Know Who was scared of, and he couldn't fix this bloody attachment curse.

Let me kill something. Please

"I'm sorry Miss di Angelo, Mr Black, I'm afraid it looks like you're stuck with it for the time being." He chuckled at his lousy joke.

I was ready to start begging but before I could do the whole on bended knee, kissing his feet, sucking up thing (and forcing Black to do the same) Sirius yanked me out of the office and back to the common room.

The second the portrait swung close behind and we were alone I started screaming at him. My voice was so high that I think bats would have had a job hearing it. Black's head was in his hands and he was clutching his ears. I stopped to draw breathe and he looked up hopeful, doing his puppy dog face.

I always find it hard to hit him when he does that face.

ARGH!

"What the hell happened to you? You look like you've been run over by a truck!"

"Thanks Lily. Supportive as ever."

I wasn't in the mood to joke about it. Minnie had just left after telling us that she was sorry but Black and I were going to have to share quarters for the foreseeable future and that an extra room was to be grown off the common room. She also deducted points because I hit Black before she had made it to the portrait hole.

And I felt lousy. The room we were going to have to share was smaller than my dorm and had one large double bed in the centre.

That's right, a double bed.

Sirius had received a high five from James when they saw the sleeping arrangements and Lily was entitled to see the whole thing as a joke.

Cos now the whole ******* tower thought Black and I were dating. The quidditch incident had been bad enough but now we had to remain within 12 inches of each other. Stuff like that tends to lead to gossip.

We were sitting in the comfortable armchairs by the fire. Well I say comfortable, I was squashed in with Sirius and he kept 'accidentally' touching my leg. Lily, after a glance around at the money changing hands, had threatened to put every single person in the common room in detention if they didn't go to their respective dormitories straight away. There was lots of muttering but she drew her wand and even the bravest of the 7th years ran for their lives.

So we sat there, me, Black, Lily, James and Remus, in dead silence. Awkward

Then Jazz walked in. I guessed Alice was making out with Frank and Lizzie was at her extra curriculum courses. She works way too hard.

Jazz stormed straight up to me.

"EXPLAIN!" Jazz is terrifying when she wants to be, remember what I said about the kick boxing? I stood up, dragging Black with me.

"Black? Pur-lease You can do so much better than him."

"Hey!" Black looked miffed and put his arms around my waist. I elbowed him in the stomach.

"It's not what it looks like!" Jazz, as usual, didn't even listen (Why does no-one listen to me?)

"Get away from her!"

"Black smirked at her. "Can't."

"Black! I swear so help me I will put you in St Mungo's for a month if you don't MOVE. NOW!"

Black rested his chin on top of my head and stuck out his tongue at her. Then I saw the fist flying towards me. He made a 'flumph' noise and sat down. He got 12 bloody inches before the spell kicked in and I sat down heavily in his lap.

"JAZZ!" Lily yelled at her.

"What?" Oh so she listens to Lily does she? Traitor!

"It-was-in-potions-which-you-don't-do-when-Black-made-their-potion-explode-by- adding-bubotuber-pus-whic-is-highly-explosive-which-blasted-them-and-destroyed-the-dungeons-making-them-unconscious-for-five-hours-and-attached-them-together-so-they-can't-get-further-than-12-inches-apart-so now-Arty-is-going-to-have-sleep-in-the-same-bed-as-Black-which-is-torture-enough-without-you-breaking-his-nose-as-well-which-is-Arty's-job." Lily said very quickly and in one breath before Jazz could start hitting things again.

"Oh, sorry Black" She sat down on the carpet in front of the fire and nicked a chocolate frog of Remus.

"'Oh sorry Black' Is that all I get. You should be on bended knee begging my pardon."

"Why?"

"Because you bloody broke my nose."

"Episky. Anyway it's your fault, you blew up the cauldron in the first place."

"Please you too, my head is killing me." I had buried my head in my hands but their droning voices were still reaching my throbbing head.

The portrait slammed and someone stormed into the room. I looked up to see Max, looking murderous.

"EXPLAIN!" Whoa, deja vu.

"It's not what it looks like!" I yelled before she could get a word in edgeways. I think that actually made it sound even more suspicious.

Why me?

Lily looked like she was going to do her whole not breathing speech again so I cut in. Unfortunately for Black I wasn't quick enough. The fist flew straight over my head and the crunching of his nose was heard again.

"OW!"

"Black, stop dripping on me." I rolled my eyes, heaven help me. "Jazz- Max I mean, we're joined together by a spell okay?"

"Why didn't you say so before?" She grabbed another chocolate frog of Remus, who looked down at his dwindling pile in annoyance, and stretched out next to Jazz.

"I think on the whole I like Jazz better, least she had the decency to mend my nose." Sirius looked really miffed. Remus rolled his eyes and mutter 'Episky." There was another squelching noise and his nose fixed itself.

"Shut up Black." My head was killing and I buried my head again. I hate to say it but it was sort of comfortable sitting here. Not that I'd ever tell Black. His heads big enough without any more complements.

The portrait swung open again and Alice and Lizzie walked in.

"i AM ATTACHED TO BLACK BY MAGIC NOT CHOICE!" I yelled at them, not wanting to go through the whole deja vu thing again.

Alice gave me a funny look.

"We know, we were in potions."

oh yeah.

"My head hurts." I said defensively. "I'm going to bed."

James wolf whistled and high fives Black.

Shit, Shit, Shit!
