Hi, I'm sorry if the gay topic offends anyone in anyway I didn't mean for it to be like that. I just thought that if you've read the Harry Potter books that you know that Sirius Black was a total womanizer in his day. This story is kind of like the ultimate revenge. We'll read on if you'd like! =)
Sirius Black is gay.
There’s no other reasonable solution. He. Dumped. Moi. No man dumps ‘God’s gift to men’ –no straight man anyway. Ok, yes maybe I’m a bit of a b*tch at times…but only for good reason! Like when the hottest, most charming guy in all of Hogwarts dumps me! The sexiest, hottest, prettiest, most amaaaaazing girl in all of Britain. It doesn’t add up. Which is why I know and I think all of you know that he his most definitely totally and completely gay.
-------*
“Siri! Siri, dear!” I called down the corridor, “Wait up!”
He froze and turned, and looked at me with tense shoulders, “What is it Angie?” I kept my smile in place though I was dying (absolutely dying) to stick my tongue out at him.
“Oh, nothing really, I just wanted to let you know that your secret is safe with me.” I turned up the sympathy in my voice. Inwardly I patted myself on the back- Mother’s acting lessons are starting to pay-off.
For a moment a look of alarm passed over his features, but then they relaxed and he shook his head, causing his wonderful black hair to flop into his gray eyes; a poor attempt to look mysterious, “My secret, m’dear?” Honestly, he needs the lessons more than I do.
“There, there.” I patted him softly on the cheek, “I know it’s difficult to admit at first but it will get easier. I promise. You’ll finally be able to stop leading those poor girls on.” I put my hand on his shoulder and his merely amused smile turned into a serious frown.
“What are you on about Dussell?” I noted the use of my last name.
I gave him a look that clearly shouted pity, “Okay Sir-“
“ Sirius ,” he muttered and brushed my hand off his shoulder.
“-I understand, but I know you’ll share your secret openly someday. Hopefully-for your sake- it will be soon.” I spun on my heel and headed back to my common room.
-------*
I sighed contentedly in front of the fire in the Hufflepuff common with my best friend Celia right next to me. Celia was my opposite in looks and personality -a Courtney Cox to my Jennifer Anniston- a brunette with big chocolate brown doll eyes and a huge conscience. Where as I was a short blond with blue-gray eyes and a history of escapades ending in disaster, we were balanced.
“Revenge is definitely sweet, right up with sugar quills.” I said jokingly.
She giggled and her wavy brown hair bounced up and down wildly, “What are you going to do to him?” Her brown eyes widened, “Wait, no, don’t tell me. You’re going to make him look gay!”
I frowned at her, “Yeah…how’d ya know?”
“Well it’s what you did to Alex when he dumped you, and Nick and come to think about it… I think you’ve done it to every guy who has dumped you.”
“Ugh…” I took one of the pillows from the couch and buried my face in the Hufflepuff crest, “Shut up.”
She rolled her eyes at me, “It’s not a big deal, you’ll just have to change it up a bit.”
Encouraged I lifted my head, “How so?”
She smiled evilly (I swear I’m a bad influence on this girl), “Well… it’s mostly the same,” I lowered my head back down to the pillow, “just a little more…extreme.” Interested again I sat up straight. “Instead of making him look gay, make him look like a transvestite.” (SEE! BAD INFLUENCE!) Both my smile and hers grew wide.
“Brilliant, Cellie, Brilliant!
-------*
The next morning I got to the Great Hall early eager to see if my little ‘scheme’ would work. Fortunately for me Sirius’s IQ must have dropped about 30 points since I went out with him, he didn’t even noticed what I had done.
-Recall-
“What are you on about Dussell?” he asked, my hand reached a little over his shoulder toward his bag.
I gave him a look, “Okay Siri-” I unzipped the bag a little.
I slipped a couple of ‘items’ into his backpack, “ Sirius ,”he corrected me and brushed my hand off his shoulder.
“-I understand, but I know you’ll share your secret openly someday. Hopefully-for your sake- it will be soon.” I spun on my heel and headed back to my common room, with a satisfied smirk on my face.
-End Recall-
Entering the Great Hall I walked over to the Hufflepuff table and quietly snuck up behind Celia, “Cellie!” I yelled in her ear. She jumped nearly a foot.
“What was that for!?” she clapped her hands over her ears, “Argh, my ears are going to be ringing for the rest of the day.”
“You know you love me.” I said cheekily and sat down next to her and started piling waffles on my plate, she ignored me and started eating again. “And,” I continued, “you’re going to love this!”
Celia turned to me and raised one eyebrow in question, “Just watch.” I told her. As I ate I kept my gaze fixed on the doors to the hall, keeping an eye out for Sirius, this caused a few problems I’ll admit- (Angie! You knocked your OJ on my Potions Essay!!)-but nothing that couldn’t easily be fixed with a quick wave of a wand. When he arrived with his friends I stopped eating anyway- the waffles lay soaking up the syrup beside them. (“You gonna eat that?”)
Sirius and his best mates James, Remus and Peter strutted (Well Sirius did…) over to the almost full Gryffindor table. As they reached the table, four empty seats all next to each other- curtsey of the I ♥ the Marauder’s Club (Minus Peter). The Marauder’s were the pride of Hogwarts the four most brilliant, charming, talented, handsome students that anyone had seen in a long time. (Again Minus Peter)
Sirius was known as the rogue, handsome and charming with a new girl every week. (Why didn’t I realize why before?) And what was even more unfair was that he was brilliant in every class with out trying.
And there’s James Potter, Sirius’s best mate, close as brothers, they even looked somewhat alike, both tall with shaggy black hair. James was a Quidditch player, the seeker. He carried the snitch around with him and played with it when ever he was bored he’d play with it, catching it and letting it go and catching it again. James didn’t date very often; he was too far gone with Lily Evans, a red-haired Gryffindor who hated his guts. She had good reason I’ll admit- James and Sirius always seem to either be plotting some new prank or picking on Severus Snape some Slytherin with greasy hair. (Again, why didn’t I notice this before???)
Then Remus Lupin, he’s sort of the nerdy, smart, quiet type. That’s not to say he’s not good looking, because he is. He has this whole relaxed, don’t-care-what-you-think air about him. Every once in a while he’ll get sick though and look terrible for a few days, all pale and sickly, and then he will be back to full swing, all happy and healthy looking.
Last Peter, Peter Pettigrew, what a terrible name huh? He doesn’t look much better. He’s kind of pasty, his hair is brown but all… washed out so it looks kind of gray and he has these watery blue eyes and weird pointy front teeth. Over all he’s kind of gross, short and sweaty all the time. I don’t really understand how someone like Sirius could be friends with, Peter. He doesn’t even talk, he just laughs and laughs at what ever any of his friends think to say. It’s annoying.
When I saw those girls scrambled to make room for the Marauder’s I did the natural thing- I rolled my eyes, they were so easily deceived by good looks and charm. Some may call me a hypocrite since I had been one of those girls, but that was before I knew. Before I knew how big of @ssholes they were. Disgusted I turned to Celia to engage in some sort of distracting conversation, but before I could open my mouth I heart James’s voice cut threw the noise in the Hall.
“Oh la la Padfoot! Looks like you’ve been keeping a secret from us!” I could see Sirius shaking his head madly and mouthing the word, ‘No’ over and over. James brandished a thick piece of parchment with little hearts over the front Sirius’ name was written in neat calligraphy in the middle. “Let’s open it shall we?” Most of the school had caught on to going on with the Marauders and it was really quiet while James opened the letter. I swear I heard a faint “Oh God.” From Sirius and I smiled wide.
“James!” said Sirius, “Stop!” He made a lunge for the letter but missed and slipped off the bench. James didn’t even blink.
He finally had the letter open in his hand and his eyes grew wide as he read out loud,
“ Dear Sirius,
I had fun the other night. I never knew you were so loving! I enjoyed your kisses in the broom closet! Yummy. I hope we’ll do it again soon. I can think of a couple of things I’d love to do.
Love, He stopped and I knew why, it was one thing to read a love note to your best mate to the whole school, but it was a totally different thing if at the same time you were outing your friend. James’s face turned bright, bright red and he shoved the letter at Sirius and walked quickly from the Great Hall. Sirius just sat there and read the letter and his face turned an even deeper red then James’.
I think most people thought the letter was from Lily and so he was just pissed at Sirius, which kinda defeats the point of it- but still Sirius looked more embarrassed than I’ve ever seen him so I accomplished what I had been trying to do.
Then suddenly Sirius stood up and stalked over to the Hufflepuff table, he had probably figured out that it was me who put the letter in his bag. I got up and grabbed my bag and started to run out of the Hall, but he beat me to it; Sirius grabbed my elbow and dragged me out of the Hall and down the corridor to the staircases. I looked at his angry face and flashing eyes and finally grasped the fact that I was in some deep crap. (A/N :that sounds funny!!!!)
-------*
“What’s your damage, Heather?” I snapped, when he dropped my arm.
“My name is not Heather!” He said indignantly.
I sighed obnoxiously, “I know it’s not your name, it’s a muggle-”
“-Saying.” He cut me off. Sirius sighed and some of his obvious anger dissipated.
“Um, yeah…” I scuffed the ground with the front of my shoe, “So…why’d you bring me out here?”
“Why do you think? I’m not stupid, Angie.”
I rolled my eyes but said nothing. The two of us stood saying nothing for a minute, until Sirius made a disgusted noise and walked away.
-------*
Hope you'll liked the start! This is probably going to be a three part thing. I'm pretty much done with the second part and I'm going to start the third. =) Hopefully you'll all like it enough to read all three!

GibsonGirl, I totally agree, Sirius is SO HOT. Any who, Hilarious story, I was drinking a vitamin water during reading and it came out of my nose several times...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, we so do. And you're welcome!
Maggie! I love how Sirius really is gay! Even though he is hot... But I couldn't have him anyway, so it's ok. But how sad! He finally gets up the courage to kiss Remus and Remus just.... dissed him completely! Bad Remus! HOW DARE YOU BE STRAIGHT!!!! AUUGGHHH If Remus and Sirius were real people, I would totally have crushes on them. (And obviously not want them to be gay). But since they're not real.... THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER! Sorry I just really like that ship. Ok deep breath in, deep breath out.
Anyway.... Cute story! Funny ending. Some parts kind of skipped around randomly. Like, storylines that start and then never come back. For example, who signed the planted "love letter"? We need more information.
And sequelwise, YES! You can't just end it like this! Poor Sirius! Maybe he and Remus can kiss and make up! *wink* *wink* I like how this story, instead of from the traditional Remus or Sirius POV, is from an uncanon character. Interesting spin....More please!
Julia
PS I’m not a bloody poofter! I love that line
PPS Emily, thanks (about the avatar from a wicked long time ago)
PPS Emily, I think we need one called Alex Karev Is Gay, am I right???
lol, that was great. I'm with Lost though, you can't take the two coolest characters away like that!!!!! I'm glad Remus isn't gay though
I like the way Angie is turning out, she's an interesting character. Can't wait to keep reading!
GibsonGirl: Hahaha, yes poofy things do rock =)
Wooot! What is it?
Kazsmurf: Thank you for reading! You've got a good point about the Courtney Cox/ Jennifer Aniston thing... I'm not really sure of any popular idols from back then with the same qualities... Hmm, research time. Haha.
VampX13: Mhmm, I see what you mean. I really wasn't planning on this ending. It really wasn't what I had planned... Aw well.
*Dances* Yay!
LOST:
Haha...That'd be funny.
Yep. Really gay. Hehe, surprising I know... Thanks! I don't think I'm going to update again. I might do a sequel thing in someone elses perspective. Hmm...
And I'm scared of Mr. D's sketchiness too. Wayyy too strange.
Yey an uppie!
“Who was kissing? Who , Cell?”
“Remus and…and Sirius!” AHHHHHHHHHH! You take the two hottest guys in HP and take them both away from us!?!?! Dude. I think they're playing a joke on Angie. Muah ahahahaha
“Wait!” She called and ran over and put on some lippie and a bit of mascara. She shrugged at me, “Ya never know…” Haha. That's a good line.
He's...really...gay?!?!? But...he's so...hot...and...awesome...and...*Cries*
Good writing and really funny!! Is it over or are you updating again?
*Votes for update*
*Is scared by Mr. D's sketchiness....*
Personally, I like it the way it is. It's sort of an awkward and sharp twist but just because that wasn't what I was expecting.
I do think Sirius and Angie should end up together but after Sirius ... sexual exploration is complete. That is simply because they're personalities don't exactly fit and I like to match up the mismatching.
Good job.
*Gets out her magical crystal ball:* Do I see a sequel in the future? Most definately.
Really good!! I found both second and third parts the more readable, they seemed more interesting and funny!! It's fun to twist things from the books, as if they're in a whole different reality, as we know sirius really isn't gay!! It makes you wonder what would have happened had he really been like that...?? Very interesting take on a great story!! I'm just rambling on at the mo, but very good!!
I thought it was good, I like the way you introduced a completely new character to the HP world, who, by the way, really is a nasty piece of work!
The only thing that I thought was a little odd was the fact that these characters were in school in, what, the 60s/70s, and you were comparing Jennifer Anniston to Courtney Cox...? Not that it really matters, I'm just picky that way!
Keep it up!
HAHA
Poofy things..... that's a great word.
I have an idea about a sequel...muahahaha!! Actually, I've got a few in mind.
Jack Shepherd is Gay (yay Jack/Locke)
And another one that I might not want to post on here...you never know who reads these boards. I'll tell you tomorrow.
I'm sorry Puscha. I was undecided about him until the very end. I actually wasn't planning on him being the slightest bit gay... Hmm, strange how that works.
!!!
Thank you so, SO much for catching that. It totally slipped by me. *Eeeek* I changed it to Great Hall though...
Yay! I'm glad you liked it!
Hahahaha *Dies laughing* thats so funny! I'm sorry! I'm really not implying anything about you. Haha.
=) Yay! I know I've read a bunch on fanfiction.net and its actually how I got the idea. I didn't want it to be the same old story so I thought I'd try to change it a bit. I wanted to keep the SB/RL because it actually seems realistic to me. Like its almost plausable in the books. I didn't want any more uncanon characters either. Thanks for the idea though!
Thank you!
Thanks for all of the reviews! I appreciate it!
...
*head/desk* I honestly can't take any HP fanfic stories seriously anymore, due to the fact that my friends and I formed the Marauders at school.
I really can't take this one seriously because, well, in our little Marauders group... I'm Sirius.
*head/desk again*
Anyway, surprise ending, very funny, lol. Although, I must warn you - there's like 243 pages of Sirius/Remus slash on fanfiction.net. Maybe changing it to a different person would be less cliche. Although Sirius being gay is cliche enough.
Anyway, love the light-hearted tone of all of this. Very fun.
Nice. XD
I'm confused...they're in the Hufflepuff common room, right? And Sirius and Remus are in the Gryffindor...?
And yeah. Nice twist on the ending! It made me smile.
No! Serius can't be gay. You just ruined my life. *cries*
The two of us made our way painstakingly slowly down the stairs to the Great Hall, pausing before actually stepping in. To both of our immense relief’s Remus and Sirius weren’t actually going public yet. Or not yet anyway, seeing that they weren’t snogging madly on top of a desk.
In truth they were far from it.
“What the hell was that!?” demanded an irate, confused Remus. “I have a girlfriend Sirius! I’m not a bloody poofter!”
For once in his life Sirius seemed at a loss for words, even more surprising was his shameful blush that was creeping slowly up his neck to his cheeks. “Moony… I don’t know what I was-” Remus held up a hand.
“Yeah…okay Sirius, I’ll…I’ll just talk to you later,” He turned away from Sirius who looked crushed and walked from the Hall.
Promptly I felt a hand on my shoulder, Cellie. Her eyes were urging me to come back to our room.
“You go up, I’ll be there in a few okay?” Understanding past over her features and she nodded.
“See ya in a bit then,” She whispered.
I turned to glance at Sirius and he stood as he had been before; feet shoulder width apart and arms dangling uselessly at his sides; his face was turned down with his deadened gaze set on the ground Remus had been standing on moments before.
“Sirius…?”
He finally seemed to come out of his reverie though his eyes held no surprise when he faced me. “I suppose you heard the whole of that?” a sour smile bit at his lips, “I fancy that your happy now. You were right, I’m a bloody poofter.” A wave of hurt came and fell away in his eyes; I knew he must be thinking of Remus’ disgusted voice when he said the same words.
“No, I’m not happy,” I was a bit appalled to think that I’d been so…pitiless that he’d think I would be happy now. “Did you really think I would be?”
He sighed resignedly, “No.”
I waited for him to continue giving my best ‘go on’ look.
“And I’m sorry for thinking you would be…” I beamed at him.
“Not to worry my dear. Now tell Auntie Angie what happened,” He cracked a small bemused smile.
“I kissed Remus.” I grunted in acknowledgement, “And he didn’t like it….”
“Mhmm.”
“And that’s it…” He sat down on the arm of the couch, “Okay…so what should I do?”
I pursed my lips in a McGonagall-ish fashion, “Well…honestly, I don’t know.” He let out an exasperated noise, “But I think if Remus is really your friend he’ll be fine with it eventually. Give him a while, it is a sort of odd way to find out you know…” We both laughed.
“So…you’re okay?” He grinned and nodded. “Good.”
-------*
Okay, so the second parts kinda sort, but yeah...
What do you think? Do you see a sequel in the near future? Maybe?
Reviews would be loverly.
I'm so so so sorry guys...
I keep forgetting and putting it off. I have the first 900 words typed I just need to finish up.
I'm kinda surprised about how it's ending, totally not what I had in mind but whatever.
You'll see.
=)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok! I actually have to first part the second part I'm now finishing typing and editing! Woot!
Well...here ya go!
Why didn’t I do it? I had no idea. Why in the world didn’t I go and set up my prank after he’d finally gone to dinner? I don’t know. And it’d been bugging me since.
Not being the type to back down from very many things, not following through with something so simple and so… silly as a hair dying prank was completely out of character.
“Do you think I’m possessed?” I asked my dorm at large, Celia and the other three girls I shared the room with sat up in bed.
“No.” The four girls either used to my random questions or just indifferent (I could never figure out which…) never bothered to find out what I was talking about anymore.
I smiled gratefully, “Okay thanks.” I rolled over and snuggled into my pillow.
I listened for the rustlings of blankets and sheets being squashed until perfect for sleeping and the soft whisper of Ashley turning out her wand.
-------*
“ Angie! ” whispered an urged voice, “Wake up! ” Refusing to comply I rolled over and pulled the comforter taut on my head.
“Hrmmphh,” At first I thought they’d given up, maybe to come back later and try again. Instead I felt a cold rush of air.
I let loose a roar of anguish and jumped from the sheets to get a good hold on the arms of the offending blanket snatcher, “Give me back my bloody blanket Cellie.”
Her face looked stricken and there was a small twitch in her cheek, presumably from clenching her jaw from crying. All at once I felt extremely ridiculous for making such a scene, but then I realized, she stole my blanket! That’s just low.
While grumbling words that turned air blue I bent down and grabbed my blanket and was about to climb back into my warm bed when Cellie took hold of my shoulder. “Angie…please?” I would’ve ignored her if I didn’t hear the faint sob that choked off her next words.
Sighing dramatically I turned around, “Fine, but you better be willing to kiss- Whatsmatter?” Celia’s face was an ashen red with fat tears leaking from the corners of her eyes. Automatically I wrapped her into a tight hug. “Oh man, what…?”
She started shaking and a muffled noise was coming from her mouth that was smashed against my shoulder. “Hhee… Emus ‘nd…’nd Rius, ‘hey ‘ere…’ere, KISSING!” I pushed her away from me.
“Who was kissing? Who , Cell?”
“Remus and…and Sirius!”
I felt my jaw literally fall, “S-sirius? My Sirius?” ‘ My Sirius? Where did that come from…?’ Celia bobbed her head sadly.
“I don’t get it Angie…what happened? I thought…I though he liked me!” I inwardly winced, ‘Ouch, now we get to the heart of the issue…’
I pulled her over to my bed and we both sat down in silence for a few moments. She rested her head on my shoulder.
“Wow…I can’t believe that he’s actually… gay… Kind of ironic now isn’t it?” I winked and Celia let loose a small smile.
“Yeah it is, ha, I guess you actually were helping him…” I felt the jovial air dense.
“Yeah,” I agreed, “Yeah…you’re right.” Cellie opened her mouth to say something.
“What do you say we go get some breakfast, eh? There should be some nice pancakes left… maybe we’ll get lucky and find some Noutella.” I jumped from the bed and started to the closet, “Yeah, some Noutella, some ice cream… a few cookies maybe? Yum, yeah, yeah, that’s what we’re going to do… Make a little visit to the elves.” I yanked out a pair of comfortable, worn jeans and my rusty brown colored sweatshirt that I wear when I’m sick and like to sit around without giving a hippogriffs hindquarters about how I look.
I grabbed a ponytail holder out of the communal desk drawer and slammed it shut. Then I took the holder and threw my blond tangled mass into a messy bun.
I side-stepped in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection for a moment. Pale porcelain skin dusted with tiny freckles and darkly flushed cheek bones, blue-gray eyes edging more towards a decadent steel color, and whitish lips, a poignant look. My mouth twisted into a practiced smirk; eat your heart out Siri.
“Come on Cell, let’s go.”
“Wait!” She called and ran over and put on some lippie and a bit of mascara. She shrugged at me, “Ya never know…”

The next half will be in a new post!
MAGGIE! You've got to post the update! Mreally. And Julia, I like your avatar
Maggie! Ugh! When I saw you'd updated I got all excited, thinking you finished the story! How can you do this to me.... I want to know what happens!!!!
Ok I'm done. I'm thinking I might post a story, except I've only reviewed once....
*Julia*
Wow, I feel like such a slacker... I promise to update this eventually.... Emily or Mary you need to tie me to my computer chair until I do, or something of that likeness.
Sorry again!
Hey Maggie! I can't wait for the next update of this...It always makes me laugh so hard. Interesting name choices I must say though (Angie?). *Is waiting*
I really like it. It's quite a witty title actually because you think it's going to be all Sirius/Remus or Sirius/James. And then it's just a completely different story.
I love Angie's character, by the way, kind of reminds me of Georgia Nicolson. Also the duo of Angie and Callie remind me of Fred and George.
Tie-ti-tie-tie.
omg, that was sooo fun to read. i can't wait to see more!
Nope, if it's in a literary piece, you're allowed to swear, as long as you rate your story appropriately. We just like to keep the community forums clean, you know?
This is really, really funny. My ex is lucky I can't seem to be mad at him - I'm sure I could pull off a fun prank like this. I'd enjoy it immensely.
I can't wait for part three!
True, true. She just seemed... Hufflepuffy hehe.
Or is he?? *fisheyes*
So you are allowed to swear on here? I wasn't sure if I'd be like shunned or something equally melodramatic
She's too devious though.
And ha! Lupin's in love! *laughs*
Don't censor yourself. It's BITCH, dammit!
Ooh, okay.
YAY! I got you and Mary to join? Within two days of each other? That rocks my socks off!
Random character, but she comes back a little later. And she's basically in Hufflepuff because she's nothing like the other houses at all, she's not brave enough for Gryffindor, Smart enough for Ravenclaw or Ambitious enough for Slytherin. She's kind of a left over =(
OOOOOOOH!! You called him hot! I told you. HA. HAHAHAHHA. HA. =P And I dunno... is he? You tell me *winks*
*highfives*
Whoa! Mary!!! You so just said that Sirius is hot! You're always like "He's so ugly!" Ha. We win.
Mag! UPDATE NOW! I'm dying here! It's awesome, btw. I love Sirius...mostly 'cuz he's hot. Hehe. Is he actually gay?
Mmm.
Who's Grey? Just a random character or...? I'm confused.
And if I may ask: why is your main character in Hufflepuff? She doesn't seem particularly loyal...
Hehe. Maggie, this is HILARIOUS!!!! I've actually been laughing out loud at this. And it's written really, really well.
. Yey, this is my first post here. Woot!
And.... Part Deux!
Later I found a seat in the back of the Charms classroom and put my bag on the seat next to me for Celia. Unfortunately Grey –who was the very first person I could say I hated- decided that today was the day she wanted to make “peace” or so she said.
“Come oooooon, Angie!” She whined, “Don’t you think this, childish behavior has gone on long enough?” I took one look at her fake bright white teeth, her gloss covered mouth twisted into a disdainful smile and the make-up caked on her face to confirm that, yes; she was the last person in the world that I would like to be friends with. Plus she was lying; she just wanted to know what had happened at breakfast.
“Nope,” She let out a low growling sound.
“B*tch.” Grey muttered. I stood up, trying to look menacing and she quickly took a seat a few tables away. (Those acting lessons, I’m telling you!)
I sat back down and waited for Celia to show up, d*mn her tardiness. When she finally did show up she was fifteen minutes late and her hair was mussed up, she looked flustered. She walked over to my table and plopped herself down.
“Where were you?” I asked under my breath.
She flushed a little, “Nowhere special.” I eyed her mussed up hair, loose tie and smudged lip-gloss, I looked at her in awe.
“My little girl is growing up! She’s gone and found herself a man!” I said loudly, Grey glared at me.
Cellie rolled her eyes at me but smiled none-the-less, “Oh shut up you.” I grinned.
“So…who is he? A wild, bad boy from Slytherin?” Cellie opened her mouth to hush me, “No, no, not a Slytherin, maybe a nice, quiet Ravenclaw?”
Celia rested her head on the table, “Oh my God… it’s a Gryffindor isn’t it!?” She gave me a shove, “It is! Who, who?”
Celia gave me a measured look, “If I tell you, will you shut up?”
I pouted a little, “Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies.”
“Fine…” she looked around for eavesdroppers, “It’s-”
“Yes, yes!”
“Remus…” she whispered.
“Remus?” I repeated.
“Yeah…” She looked nervous, “Angie, don’t be mad, please don’t be mad.”
My throat tightened as I looked at her, so obviously happy and in love, “I’m not mad. It’s just… why Remus? Any other guy, Cellie… any other…”
She bit her lip, “I didn’t just pick him Angie, it just sort of happened. I don’t want him to be friends with Sirius you know.”
“I know, I know.” We spent the rest of the class in silence, until the bell rang.
“I think it’s great.”
“What?”
“I think it’s great, you and Remus. It’s great.” She gave me a huge blinding smile coupled with a big hug.
“Yay! I’m so glad you think so Angie! Maybe you could hang out with us today; we’re going for a walk around the lake! Oh Angie, this is so awesome!”
I winced slightly, being the third wheel didn’t sound like so much fun. “Um, you know what Cellie, I think I have some homework for Transfiguration that I need to finish, McGonagall’s going to kill me if I hand it in late. But you and Remus have fun with out me, okay?” I tossed my books into my bag and swung it over my shoulder.
She seemed a little disappointed but smiled at me anyway, “Okay… maybe some other time.”
“Yeah, some other time…”

“Come on Lils!” I smiled at her cheekily, “You know he deserves it, you’re always on about how they’re a pair of idiots and how they need their heads deflated!” I gave her my best ‘I’m-a-good-girl’ face. She sighed.
“Fine, but if you’re caught I had nothing to do with it.” I rolled my eyes.
“Gosh, I’m offended Lily! Thinking that I would turn in my ickle prefect friend.”
She muttered incoherently for a minute. “What was that Lily?”
Lily glared at me, “The passwords ‘ripe banana’.” I cracked up.
“I- bet that- th-there are a- a lot of ‘ripe bananas’ in Gryffindor!” I said between giggles. Lily gave me a hard pinch, “OUCH! What was that for?”
“Not funny.”
“Sor-ry. Getting mind out of the gutter…” We stood in silence for a few moments, “Ok, I’m going to go get started then!” I looked at my watch to make sure that Sirius and the rest of the Marauder’s would already be at dinner. Then I ran the whole way to the Gryffindor tower and the Fat Lady’s portrait, my backpack filled with my supplies for part two of my prank making clanging sounds the whole way.
“Ripe banana!” I said when I found her, she eyed me suspiciously but swung open anyway.
“Aren’t you a Huff-”
“Thanks!” I yelled, and climbed inside. Unfortunately inside the portrait wasn’t a perfectly empty common room but a perfectly pissed-off Sirius.
“What are you doing in here?! How did you even get in here!?” His gray eyes sparkled furiously with the fire light; tinges of red gave him a menacing look.
“Uh… nothing.” I smiled hopefully.
His PO’d look disappeared some-what and he raised an eyebrow, “A straight answer would be nice.” I smiled evilly, I was making him look gay and he wants a straight answer; teehee.
“What was the question again?” He sighed at my incompetence.
“Angie… I think you have a problem.” He looked at me seriously, losing all traces of anger.
I bald eyed, “What choo talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?” Sirius’ face mirrored mine, “It’s a face muggle quote. Now tell me what my ‘problem’ is.”
“See!” He cried indignant, “You are out of your bleeding mind!” He jabbed a finger at me, “Always using those muggle quotes and blathering on about who knows what, and now sneaking into the Gryffindor Common Room, probably to set up some sort of sabotage for me and my mates up in my dorm!” His muscled chest heaved with righteousness, he was pacing a couple steps in front of me to the left, and then to the right. He ran his hand repeatedly through his hair.
I smirked unconcernedly, “Is that all? I thought you were going to say I was b*tch.” I had been a little hurt when he said he never listened to me, but I didn’t much care anymore. He was Sirius and that meant that I didn’t care what he thought. He stopped pacing and looked up at me.
“Why would I call you that? You’re annoying-” (“Hey!”) “-but your not a you know…”
I quirked a brow, “A what?”
Sirius bowed his head a little as though afraid to say it, “A b*tch.” He whispered.
I laughed, “Is the mighty Sirius Black afraid to swear?”
“No! I’m not afraid.” Somehow I doubted that.
“Let’s hear you then, come on. Loud and proud!” He gave me a murderous glare which I ignored. “Go on.”
“No!” Pigheaded prat.
“Fine then, I guess I’ll just go do what I came here to do…” I turned and headed for the stairs to what I hoped were the boy’s dorms.
“Fine! Go ahead!” Obviously still caught up in the fight he didn’t know what he was giving into. I started up the stairs, “Hey! What are you doing?!” I turned to look at him.
He was standing exactly where I left him, arms held loosely by his sides, hands clenching and unclenching convulsively. His hair was lopsided from when he was running his hand threw it making it fall into his eyes. He tried flicking it out of his eyes by jerking his head back, but the stubborn hairs fell back into his eyes again. A flash of annoyance crossed his face for a moment, but then he turned his attention back to me and the annoyance turned into resentment.
“Where does it look like I’m going?” I asked, always sarcastic. He growled softly.
“Angie stop messing with my mind. What do you want ?”
I contemplated seriously for a minute, “Why did you dump me?”
He opened his mouth hesitantly, “No really, I just want to know, what exactly are you looking for that me and none of the other girls you’ve dated have?”
He looked around the room at the numerous paintings and tapestries and down to the floor and at the ceiling. Anything to avoid my eyes. “Sirius… come on…” I started back down the stone stairs.
“I don’t know.” He said suddenly, “I don’t know at all.” I stumbled on the steps, Sirius was… unsure? The momentary silence turned awkward quickly.
“Er…. Um, okay.” I straightened, “Okay. I guess I should leave then…” Sirius’ mouth spread into a half-smile.
“Okay.”
I came down the last steps, walked quickly across the room to the portrait and climbed out.
A small groan of frustration escaped me after I was a fair distance from the fat lady. This weird mix of anger, sadness and excitement being turned on and off so quickly, like a light switch was leaving me with a disappointing deflated feeling. I couldn’t figure it out… What the hell was going on?!

And that. Is part Twooooo! Hope you'll liked it!
Well, whatever you decide, I'll read it! XD
Yup. It was confirmed by J.K. in some interview or other. I couldn't tell you where exactly but...yeah.
*Dies of suspense*
First- thank you all for reading! And Second I'm finished with the second part!! Yay! I think I might post it tomorrow maybe today if I finish my homework fast enough.
Yay!!! =) That means alot! Thank you!
Ooh, your right! I didn't even notice! *Hits head* I'll change that... eventually...
Okay, I see what you mean. Usually I use the dash when someone is being cut off or the speaker is interrupted. The ellipses I use as a pause or just trailing off.
------*
Thanks Snoink! I'm glad you liked it!
hahahahahahah. That would make me laugh. I didn't think of that but I dunno, if my idea doesn't work out *shrugs* maybe...
-------*
Argh. Are you sure? Me and my friend Emily had a fight about it. =) I won obviously but I was totally convinced he was a seeker. Maaaaan.
Thanks!!! And that my friend, is part of the suspence of this story! =) Teehee.

Awww. Poor Sirius! I'm really hating your main character too!
And...James wasn't a seeker. He was a chaser. The movies just messed it up. But I'm probably the only Harry Potter freak on here that will notice it, so it's all good.
I loved how you described the marauders. And James' reaction to the end of that letter!
...Who's name did she sign at the end of the note anyway?
Haha, so awesome. The pacing's good and hooray! I love Sirius's character here... it's so mysterious. Oh, and I hate your main character. In a good friendly hate way.
Sirius? Gay? She's going to have to go through a lot trying to convince the school that! I think it'll end up backfiring on her and she'll be considered a lesbian. XD
More!
HA-HA-HA; that was so funny!!!
That was the most enjoyable piece I've read for weeks. Good work! I can't wait to read the other parts. There's not really much I have to say (other than it being humorously written). But there are some grammatical things I need to point out:
I personally couldn't find any misspellings (which I found very impressive). Way 2 go! (yeah, that was corny . . .)
I saw that you place periods before a dialogue. Unless it is a continuation of a before dialogue or comes after a phase such as "Then he said, - ", there needs to a period there. Does this make sense?
Another thing was the sudden change from dashes (-) to ellipses (...) to implicate dramatic pauses. You should really just stick to one or the other (preferably the dash).
There's also one more thing:
There doesn't need to be a period after "god." If you really want to put something there, try a comma. But it would look just as well without a mark. And the "from" doesn’t need to be capitalized.
Well, that's all the grammar stuff I have. PM me if you have a questions or something. Now it's time for a little joke from my best friend. She said she read this from some internet thingie:
Harry -- Are you a werewolf?
Lupin -- Yes.
Harry -- Are you *effing* serious?!
Lupin -- Well, that too.
Harry -- Wait . . . WHAT?!
