Somewhere Only We Know - Part 2 - Sirius Black x OC

Chapter 8: You Make Me

Sirius smiled to himself. Gemma was a proud little thing and no doubt she hated the implication that he could control her. She was probably plotting a rather vicious attack right now.

Still, he had needed her to stop wriggling. She was a distraction he didn't need.

Since catching Snape on the third floor looking for the hidden passageway, Sirius and his friends had been keeping a close eye on him. Sirius and James in particular. They'd followed him a few times, and they were all now fairly certain Snape only knew about two hidden passageways; one that led to another part of the castle, and one that went out into the forbidden forest. Of course, Snape also knew about the one to Hogsmeade, but had so far not worked out how to access it.

So, when the Marauders had seen Snape wandering the halls again, Sirius had volunteered to follow. Thankfully James had given him the cloak, knowing that it would help him get even closer to what Snape was up to.

So here he was; hidden in a corridor watching Snape who was clearly waiting for someone.

He took a deep breath and inhaled the delicious scent of vanilla and oranges. Despite the situation, he enjoyed having Gemma pressed tightly against him. Especially as his hand was currently squeezing one perfectly shaped buttock. Merlin, she was soft. His other hand was wrapped around her waist and he had visions of bending her forward and...

"Sirius."

For a second he wondered if she had heard his thoughts. No doubt she could feel his arousal. But then he realised she was getting his attention because Snape was no longer alone. Smethyck and Garth had both arrived. Sirius removed his hand from Gemma's backside.

Snape turned to them and looked over their shoulders. "Were you followed?"

Garth shrugged but Smethyck shook his head. "No."

"Do you have it?"

"We think so." Smethyck pulled out a piece of parchment. "Been tailing Pettigrew all week. He disappeared here."

Sirius frowned. They'd been tailing Peter? How had he and his fellow Marauders not noticed that?

"Did you see a passageway?" Snape sounded impatient.

Smethyck shook his head. "Well, no, but we saw him head down this corridor, then suddenly he was gone."

"And there's nothing down there." Garth added.

Snape grabbed the parchment from Smethyck. "So you don't actually know where on this corridor... dammit." Snape scowled at both of them. "This isn't a secret passageway; it's the Prefects bathroom, you morons."

Sirius held back a laugh. Remus had shown them the Prefect bathroom a couple of years ago, but had told them they weren't allowed to use it unless absolutely necessary. Obviously Peter had been desperate.

Smethyck frowned. "What?"

Garth looked stunned. "They have their own bathroom? That's not fair."

"Shut up, Garth." Snape was clearly not happy. "You were supposed to find a damn passageway. We're meeting Mulciber in a few weeks." Sirius felt Gemma stiffen at Snape's words. "He wants answers."

Smethyck and Garth looked uncomfortable. Smethyck spoke first. "Sorry. We'll keep tailing him."

Snape nodded. "You better. He's the weakest link. He'll lead us to one eventually."

Sirius gritted his teeth. He was tempted to throw away the cloak, march over to Snape and punch him in the face. He wanted to do that most of the time anyway, but especially after his comment about Peter. He rubbed a hand over his face. How had they missed Peter being followed?
