Who Insulted Your Hippogriff?

Breakfast Battle #1 (Awesome Wow)

James felt that he had done more this weekend to be proud of then he had done in his entire life. He had done something really great for his friend, and not that he cared that much per say, he rather cared more about the fact that he spent some good time with Lily. And Remus. He also had realized he would make a fantastic actor if he wanted to be one!

So it was of course no surprise that when Sirius walked into the great hall holding hands with his new boyfriend, James squealed and fell off his seat. In a very manly way of course.

After saying goodbye to Davey the Hufflepuff, Sirius made his way over to them a badly hid grin on his face. James not letting the perfect opportunity to tease slip by playfully elbowed Sirius, "You're looking awful chipper this morning, any particular reason why?"

"You should know the reason, so I don't feel the need to explain it to you James,"Sirius said, the grin not faltering once.

"Nope, I was so proud yesterday that I forgot what I was proud of so you're going to have to remind me!" James drawled. Lily snorted from the other side of the table, earning a wink from James. Sirius rolled his eyes and started eating without bothering to respond.

After a short time passed with everyone eating quietly, a group of three students sauntered up to the table. James recognised one of them as a younger Gryffindor, but had no clue who any of the other students were.

Without saying a word, they walked behind Sirius, and Unknown Student Number 1, as James so kindly named him, shoved the dark haired boy's face into his plate of eggs. Sirius looked up, two pieces of egg dripping down his face, with a murderous glint in his eyes. Before he could do anything, however, the student started talking.

"I can't believe it! Sirius Black, reining prank-star, legendary player, is a gay. How could someone like him be one of the most popular kids in the school! Hogwarts should be ashamed! Has this school really gone to the dogs in such a way as this, has Sirius Black going to bring the school to the brink of dabbling in a disgusting mess of accepting gayness? I am going to make sure you leave this school and never come back. You're not welcome here, you hand holding, flower sniffing poof!"

Surprisingly, Sirius did not punch the student in his normal Gryffindor fashion. Instead, he stared at his plate, not even bothering to wipe the eggs off his face.

Lily opened her mouth her mouth angrily about to verbally throwdown these rapscallions. But, before she could say anything James began her with a snarl.

"You must be out of your goddamn mind if you think it's bad that my friend Sirius Black, is gonna bring our school to the brink of dabbling in a "disgusting" mess of accepting gayness! Because it is not disgusting, it is wonderful! How long did it take you to write that speech you bastard? You can tell it was planned because it was the stupidest, unoriginal, small-minded, thing I have ever heard. If you have a problem with Sirius just because of his sexuality, then you are no better than a Death Eater. Even if you disagree with it, that does not give you the right to control other people's lives. For instance, Sirius never shoved eggs up your nose because you're a total jackass. Which by the way is a choice, but you don't get to choose your sexuality!"

By now most of the teachers and student body was listening, which was unsurprising considering how loudly James was yelling. "I suggest you leave our table now, before I lose my temper!" With those last words James slumped back down into his seat. The three disruptors practically sprinted out of the great hall, looking extremely miffed.

As Davey walked over to their table, a worried look on his face. Sirius looked up, his grin slowly returning as quietly spoke to James, "Thanks. James you're one of the greatest friends I've got!"

"Hey, no problem. Those jerks had it coming!" James said, smirking.

As Lily watched the Gryffindor table slip back into normality she couldn't help but think that maybe, maybe, the arrogant, smug, adorable Gryffindor sitting in front of her wasn't as bad as she thought. That speech he gave, the way he stood up for his friends was refreshing, and kind of attractive. And just maybe next time he asked her out, she wouldn't be able to say not to his cute hopeful face.

Perhaps Sirius and Davey and James and her could double date sometime...
