CHAPTER 20

"Sirius, come out man," James yelled, banging on the door of a petite broom closet. Sirius came out in a moment, his hair messed up, his tie loose, and of course, that Sirius Black smirk. His robe was nowhere to be found, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up messily. Following him was a fifth year Hufflepuff, Ashley Cunningham, who stumbled out of the cabinet, her lipstick smeared, and her hair just as messy and tangled.

"Oh god," Audrey whispered to Remus, turning away, as Ashley buttoned her top two buttons up. Remus looked away as well, chuckling. Audrey lightly hit his arm.

"See you later Siri," she said placing a sloppy kiss on his cheek.

"See you sweetheart," he replied smirking, and Ashley giggled and walked away.

"Hello Aud," Sirius said, swinging an arm over the girl. She quickly brushed him off.

"Please, I don't want to contract anything from what you two did in there," she said.

Sirius rolled his eyes playfully, as the rest of the group chuckled.

"And why did you five call me out?" Sirius asked.

"The Kitchens, we were getting a snack, and wanted to discuss our next prank. Couldn't have you miss a meeting now could we?" James replied, stepping into the kitchen.

"Oh. Merci, merci," Sirius said in a faux French accent, bowing.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, house elves surrounded them, pampering them with food and drinks, whatever they asked for.

"So," Audrey said, sitting on top of one of the tables, crossing her legs, "now that you're done with the girls in our year, moving on to the ones above us?"

Sirius faked a sad look. "You think that low of me Aud?"

"Quite frankly, yes," she said with a chuckle and Sirius rolled his eyes with a smirk on his face.

"So. The prank. First question, do we wanna change up our audience, that is, the Slytherins," James asked the group in a business like tone.

"Well, it's been a while since we took a risk. We couldn't have Hogwarts thinking that five of their best pranksters have gone stale, could we?" Remus asked raising one eyebrow.

"Very well then. Who are we thinking?" James asked again.

"The professors." Peter said with confidence.

"That actually makes sense, we haven't played with them in a while now," Audrey said, taking a sip of her butterbeer.

"Alright. The professors. When?" James asked.

"During breakfast. Tomorrow. At least everyone will see it," Sirius replied, twirling the French fry in his hand like a cigarette.

"No, not tomorrow. I'm not free," Audrey suddenly interjected.

"Why?" Remus asked.

"Rob and I are going out on a date. I won't be there at breakfast,"

Sirius rolled his eyes, but this time no smirk on his face.

"You'll really miss a prank for a date?" he asked in an irritated tone.

"Excuse me?" said Audrey.

"You've been spending way too much time with him, and now you're neglecting pranks,"

"Come on Sirius! Calm down, he's my boyfriend. We can just do the prank another time, or you can do it without me," Audrey said, still pretty calm.

Sirius just scoffed at her, and looked the other way. Remus, Peter and James kept glancing at each other, sensing the tension in the room.

"Well, I'll go now. I need to meet up with Lily," Audrey said after a few long minutes, exhaling.

"Can I come?" James asked like a dog asking for a treat.

Audrey chuckled at him. "She'll skin me if I bring you." She said, ruffling his hair. She turned towards Sirius, who was still intently looking at James.

"I love you Sirius," she said. He just turned away even more, at which she laughed, placing a quick kiss on his head, and leaving the Kitchens.

And all Sirius could think about was how incredibly smitten he was.

***

"You look beautiful," Robert said, lightly kissing Audrey on the cheek. She smiled back, a slight blush tinting her cheeks red. She insisted that the boys go on with the prank without her, so that's just what they were doing.

"Let's get out of here. The guys have something planned, and you don't wanna be here for it," Audrey said, looking at the Great Hall, trying to catch a glimpse of one the boys. The bombs would go off any minute now.

Boom.

"And there we go." Audrey said with a smirk. "Let's get out,"

Sirius came sprinting out of the Hall, his face contorted in a mad laugh, and his laughter ringing through the halls, cloak flying behind him inelegantly.

"It worked?" the girl asked him.

"It worked," he replied with a smirk, and she smiled back.

"RUN SIRIUS!" James said coming towards them running and laughing. Remus ran right beside him, Peter not far away.

"POTTER, BLACK! DETENTION!" Professor McGonagall yelled stepping out from the hall. She was covered head to toe in green slime. The entire student body present in the Hall was covered with the same slimey liquid.

"Audrey!" The professor yelled after using a spell to clean herself up.

"I wasn't a part of this," The girl spoke raising her hands up.

"And where might the boys be?"

"Sorry professor. Can't snitch. Have a good day," she said, winking at the professor and running away with Wood on her side.

Robert and Audrey laughed all the while till they stopped to take a breather. The boy fondly cupped her face, and rested his head on hers, while both of them breathed deeply. Robert brought her into a passionate kiss, and put his arms around her waist, while she threw hers around his neck. They inched towards each other, breaking up only for short breaths.

"SHIT, sorry. I, um, I-er sorry, sorry," a flustered third year stuttered out when he saw them making out. The both of them immediately bounced away from each other. The boy speed walked back his path. The couple looked at each other, laughing at what had just happened.

"Oh god," Robert finally said, to which Audrey replied with a faint chuckle.

"We'll get late, let's go,". And they went off to Hogsmeade.

I don't know what this chapter was, I'm sorry. I'll out up another chapter maybe by tonight to make up for this shitty one. And tonight, cause it's currently 9 in the morning where I live.
Ok see you later loves.

Also, lil side note.
I'll be updating every three days, cause keeping up with both the books that I am writing along with life in general is kinda hard. So bear with me.
