Musings

Bella smirked from her spot near Madeline when she saw the first girl was now hanging upside down. "Yes, he certainly has perfected the art." She spoke. Despite her doubtfulness towards Severus, the spells he came up with were simply ingenious, she had to admit. For a brief moment she considered using his Sectumsempra spell, but decided against it... too much mess.

It was all Bella could do to keep herself from bursting out in laughter at her sister's 'innocent' face... the two of them definitely weren't known for their innocence. Turning back towards the now silent, bounded by ropes, and upside down girl she spoke "So your name is Bee? Well it certainly fits after experiencing first hand how annoying you can be." She heard the door open behind her and flung around only to see her immature, irresponsible, idiotic, traitor cousin. Her face was set somewhere between a sneer and a glare as she watched Sirius enter the room. As always, he had to make his 'grand' entrance. "Trix dear, why is it everywhere I see an attempt at trouble I find you there?" And Phus Phus?" Turning his attention to Rodolphus. "Still the lap dog of my dear cousin I see. I would have thought you had better taste than that." She sighed in frustration as he moved on to insult and mock the rest of the group. As soon as he had spoke his last words to Narcissa, Bella strode over to where he was and with confidence slapped him hard across his face, nothing but pure loathing in her eyes. "You would know all about good taste, certainly, Sirius, having a different girl on your arm every other week. What's your excuse for that? Simply testing the lot, making sure you know well all your options before making a lasting choice? And you saying that Rodolphus should've had better taste than to pick me is simply your opinion, and your opinion is biased. Just like me saying all those girls throwing themselves at you have horrible choice in men, is biased. We are cousins, and think we are all clear on our views of each other." She spoke in a tone of nothing less than pure loathing. "Petrificus Totalus" She said with a flick of her wand, and as soon as the spell had done it's job she poked him in chest, and gave a dark laugh as he fell to floor.

She smirked as she walked around Sirius and towards Severus who seemed to have just entered the room and was walking her way. "What's this all about? What happened to make Cissy here need to take her wand out?" "It's a long story, we'll explain later in the common room without those around." She said, angrily nodding her head towards the 3 Gryffindors.

When she saw Madeline had lifted the silencing spell and the ropes, and that Bee-What's-Her-Name had figured out a way to get down, all hope of actually getting out of this room had left Bellatrix. The girl had no one to blame for this but herself, all Bella did was walk in, sit on her boyfriends lap, and ask who the girl was. She never once threatened her (at first)... she brought this shit on herself.

Lily sighed lightly as she patrolled the halls, looking around boredly and playing with the fabric of her robes. So she wasn’t exactly hoping for people to be breaking the rules or anything but she still wished something interesting would happen. Of course, she hadn’t except her job as Head Girl to be passionating or anything – especially considering the fact that she was a muggleborn and that most Slytherin didn’t want to do what she told them when she caught someone doing something that was against the rules. Then again, she figured Slytherin wouldn’t have obeyed to her even if she was a pureblood – they only seemed to obey to the Slytherin prefects. Severus was a rather good one and always did his job correctly, but Narcissa… It was probably better not to get on the subject. Most of the other prefects did a good job as well – James had actually surprised her, he was very responsible with all of it. When she had found out he was the Head Boy, she had wondered if Dumbledore had gone mad when sending the badges, and she had expected to have the worst time ever during the time they’d have to spend together, but she was rather shocked with the fact that she often found herself enjoying his company and looking forward to their next meetings. Not that she’d admit it to anybody of course.

As she walked along the corridors on the second floor, she heard some noises coming from a classroom. Frowning lightly, she tossed her red hair over her shoulders and wrapped her fingers lightly around her wand, making her way toward the sound and stopping outside the classroom, peeking in to see what was going on before she entered it. There was quite a gathering inside of there, and apparently it wasn’t a friendly one either. A few Slytherins and Gryffindors who seemed to be fighting – Lily rolled her eyes when she saw a petrified Sirius, how queer that he would be getting in trouble with Slytherin. She shook her head lightly and bit her bottom lip, evaluating the situation. She was the Head Girl, she ought to be going in there and stop all this… but the Slytherins in that room weren’t any Slytherins. They were possibly the worse ones for her to get involved with and she knew they wouldn’t let her get out of there unharmed. She, however, remembered that Narcissa was a Prefect and couldn’t exactly hurt her, as it was against her functions – if she did, she would definitely loose her Prefect position. However, the other students who were there weren’t forced to behave and she wondered if she’d even make it out of there alive. After a short while of thinking, she sighed and decided to risk it, making her way inside the classroom with a light frown.

“What’s going on in here?” she asked, trying not to sound too nervous even though she could feel her hands shaking lightly as she pointed her wand at Sirius. “Enervate,” she said, taking the curse off of him.

Sirius eyed Narcissa, Bellatrix, Rodolphus, and Amara, carefully, it was common of him to speak to Slytherins that way, especially to those of his family. It was something he enjoyed doing, something he found amusing, and quite frankly, he liked to piss them off, that was what he did, and he would do it every chance he got. But now wasn't the time, he could tell the situation was teetering on the breaking point, and even though he didn't mind, he didn't want to endanger his housemates. Just then he heard a crash coming from behind him, a bit startled Sirius jumped around quickly, the hem of his robes flailing about in unison with the sudden movement. His golden brown gaze looked upon Bee, who had fell to the floor. Rushing over to aid her as she stood, he saw anger and fury in her eyes, her wand pointed outwards at the Slytherins as she greeted him. He would smile and put his hand on her arm and would push it back down. Shaking his head his eyes locked with hers, "Hello to you too Bee." A more serious tone in his voice. "Just put that wand away, it's not worth actually fighting over love." It wasn't that he was afraid, he just didn't want to risk them gettiing injured, or worse. If he had had Prongs or Moony there with him, then game on, but him with Maddie and her, he knew they didn't stand a chance. Hand placed her on her shoulder Sirius pushed her towards Maddie, "Go stand with your friend, and please, don't say another word to rile these gits up. Leave that to yours truly." He flashed her a wink as he sent her on her way.

After that bit of business was settled he turned to see that another had entered the room, it was none other than Snivvelus, boy oh boy, this motley crew just kept getting better and better. By all accounts Sirius should have had his wand in hand, but he decided that if he wasn't showing hostility then maybe none of them would. Who was he kidding though? He closed his eyes, raking another hand through the long locks of his shaggy brown hair, preparing to welcome Snape to the party, but then he heard footsteps echoing through the room behind him. Turning once again he saw Trix stomping her way closer, and with raised brows Sirius intently kept his eye on her. Flolding his arms across his chest, more so for that fact his hand would be closer to his wand than anything, he smiled, that was until his head snapped to the side as Trix slapped the tar out of him. The sting tingling on his face was something he had gotten used to, though for different reasons, and he could do nothing but laugh aloud inspite of wanting to hex that look right off her face. "Well!" He shouted out over his laughter, "Trix laid her pure blooded hand on the...." He was unable to finish speaking, for in that instant he was unable to move as his body crashed to the cold stone floor.

Laying there unable to move, unable to speak, Sirius looked over towards Maddie and Bee. He hoped they had the sense to not do anything rash, he was just disabled by the Petrificus Totalus charm, nothing big, and by all rights quite tame given the caster's reputation. He mentally laughed at this, such a dangerous person, paralyzing him. It was hilarious. But as it was, he couldn't move a muscle, nor could he speak. He was officially at the mercy of those he despised. He tried in vain to move, he was unable, all he could do was basically lay there and wait. Again he heard the door open, but he couldn't look to see who had entered now, only he heard the one voice he least expected, Evans. A sigh of relief washed over him like a cascading waterfall crashing against the rocks below, and in the next instant he was limber and able to move. Jumping up from the floor Sirius stretched and moved each of his limbs, as if he had just woken from a deep sleep. However the thought of Evans being there with a group of Slytherins quickly put his mind into a defensive nature. They wouldn't like the fact that one with her blood had interrupted, even though she was a Head Girl. Hurriedly Sirius jumped in front of her, arms spread out, he was shielding her, even though they didn't exactly get along, he was not going to allow any harm to come to her. If that happend, James would go into a rampage, and obliterate any Slytherin he came across. His hand now reached for his wand, and once it was securely in his grasp Sirius grinned. "Well, I must say, this room is getting crowded isn't it?" He asked the question as calm as he could be, while sliding his hand into his pocket and pulling out a dung bomb. "And I must add, the smell of you Slytherins is making me nauseous." He chuckled again as he tossed the dung bomb high into the air. Turning around he motioned Maddie and Bee to follow him with haste. Damn near pushing Lily they exited the classroom, his laughter echoing behind them.

Bee watched as Sirius rushed over to her. She was fine, it was just a lil pain...nothing serious... but the fact that he was so concerned kept her from rejecting his help. He took her arm and pulled her up.

"Just put that wand away, it's not worth actually fighting over love." she heard him say in a serious voice. She did not put the wand away exactly but she did lower it. She felt him push her towards Maddie."Go stand with your friend, and please, don't say another word to rile these gits up. Leave that to yours truly."

'Yours truely, huh?' she thought. She wanted to object but she just couldn't argue with him, he DID know best. But even he couldn't stop Bellatrix from puting the Petrificus Totalus charm on him. Bee gasped, pointed her wand towards him lift the spell but she was distracted by Lily Evens. 'HaHa, more Gryfindors!' Bee thought. Lily pointed her wand towards the motionless Sirius and incantated, "Enervate,” and Sirius stood up.

Bertha's face grew blood red when Amara called her a fowl name. She was going to hex her, make her vomit uncontrollably or send her flying through the air, but was noticed Sirius take a dung bomb out of his back pocket. She laughed after Sirius said,"And I must add, the smell of you Slytherins is making me nauseous." pulling out the bomb and throwing it in the air. Bee covered her nose and followed her friends out the room.... "What an exit!" she stated as she entered into the hallway, smiling and sighing a breath of relief.

Bellatrix's face quickly set into a sneer as she saw yet another Gryffindor join them, only this time it was more of a danger... none other than Lily Evans; Head Girl had shown up. For a brief moment Bella wondered if classes had ended already... it amazed her that this many people had chosen to skip class.

Her eyes showed nothing more than pure hatred when she saw her lift the spell she put on Sirius and ask what was going on. She was just about to not-so-calmly explain the situation with the promiscuous Gryffindor, but found Amara had beaten her to it. Normally, if anyone else cut her off she'd get down right angry, but Amara was a member of her inner circle, and at that one of her best friends. Again, she was about to comment but stopped dead when she saw Sirius pull out a dungbomb. That's the best he can do? A dungbomb?! All it does it make the room smell! Nothing but pure immaturity right there.

She saw they had used the dungbomb as a diversion, and were no longer in the room. She rolled her eyes and was about to leave the room with Amara who was apparently waiting for her and Cissy but heard something outside the room. "What an exit!" Bella now knew this voice well as Bee, and scrunched up her face in confusion. "What an exit? That was almost as lame as simply walking out the door." She muttered, but her face quickly switched to a bright smirk and said to those left in the room, "I'll be right back..." before darting out into the hallway where sure enough the little group that had recently left were standing.

Not caring in the slightest that the Head Girl was there, she whipped out her wand, muttered an incantation and gave her wand a flick. Almost instantly, all four of their heads now had dark green with silver highlighted hair. She laughed darkly and rushed back into the room. Covering her nose, she said "Well don't just stand here in the stink!"
