[Party like a rockstar][SIRI BABY<3]

[Keiara Waters]

Keiara was in a foul mood. That horrid woman in the library had screamed at her once again. Just because she set a couple of books on fire in her first year, Pince had taken every oppurunity to yell at the Gryffindor everytime she had a pinky into the library. She had shouted, and hollered at her to get away from her precious books, and all poor Kiki wanted to do was look one for potions.

She had actually been trying to study a bit, and that evil old bat got tiffy. Keiara huffed, as she walked out of the castle, fearing that Pince would sick her fellow book lovers after her. Next Lily would be on her case, scoulding her for litting books on fire. "For christs sake, it was 6 years ago!" She said to herself, as she stalked past a couple of Hufflepuffs. Kiki arrived to the lawns, hoping to find someone worth talking too. And that she did. She spotted the familar Gryffindor, his back turned to her.
"SIRIUS!" Keiara shouted, running over to her friend. She dropped her backpack, before taking a running jump at him. "HIYA!" Kiki said, enthusatically.

[Sirius Black]

Sirius had been chatting up a group of Hufflepuff birds who all had the brains of, well, birds. He really wasn't paying attention to the inane conversation, instead relaxing on the bouyant cushion of adoration he received in surplus from the chittery females. He was suddenly distracted by the shouting of his name and was shocked into hopping to his feet to see what the hubub was. That's when a blur hit the not yet balanced Sirius full on and sent them both crashing to the ground.

The Hufflepuffs scattered, leaving the winded Sirius to peer up at the now familiar female. He wiggled a bit to settle himself on the grass as if he had spent the entire day planning to be tackled and pinned under Keiara and was pleased that it went so smoothly. He ran a hand through his ruffled hair to set it back in its natural place and said in a voice that couldn't help but acknowledge that he had just had all the air knocked from his lungs,

"Well hello there, Kiki. What brings you here?"

[Keiara Waters]

"Well hello there, Kiki. What brings you here?"
"You of course!" Keiara said in a high pitched squeal. Her sad attempt to sound like his fan girls. "I was bored. And that miserable old hag kicked me out of library." She said, now rolling off of the Gryffindor. "You know what? I actually try to study, and I catch all this flack for it." Kiki said, a pout forming on her face. "And Lily is always on my case. Her and Remus both. That is why I dont study. That evil old woman. I set one book on fire, and she goes absolutely nuts!" She said, knowing she was in full on rant mode.

"Anyhow." Keiara said, taking a deep breath. "How is my Siri?" She asked, crossing her legs, and resting her chin on the palms. "I felt has if I havent talked to you in ages. You've been too busy with your whores." Kiki said, now with a wide smile. She was known to not be a fan of his admirers. "You know, some girl corned me the other day, warning me to stay away from you."

[Sirius Black]

Sirius nodded thoughtfully as he pretended to pay close attention the Keiara's rant. sitting up as well when he was no longer weighted down by enthusiastic Gryffindor. She was leaving no openings to comment, anyway as she sped along through the explanation and all mitigating circumstances. When she paused to breathe (Sirius had been starting to suspect she had learned how to absorb oxygen through her skin to avoid the necessity of breathing), he took the opportunity to say,

"Now you see the wisdom in my technique. Just learn everything right away and you don't have to study. Ever."

Yes, because everyone could simply file away massive amounts of information for later. That's why the majority of Hogwarts students had nervous breakdowns when finals neared. The girl just had to use that horrible nickname, causing him to mutter,

"See-ree-uss."

When Keiara went on about his fangirls, he shook a no-no finger at her and said in the tone a parent might use to correct an impolite child,

"Don't call them that, Kiki. If they were 'whores' as you so eloquently put it, I'd hardly be hanging around with them outside. There are plenty of vacant rooms in the castle just begging to be put to good use."

His cheeky smile widened at the news of Keiara being warned away from him.

"What, did she think I was going to ravish you while you were distracted and looking in the other direction?"

[Keiara Waters]

"See-ree-uss."
"Oh, shut up." Keiara said, waving an impatient hand at him. "You are a big baby. Ill call you whatever damn well I please." She said, prodding him in the shoulder. "And you will like it, Siri." Kiki said, now just to infuriate him. She absolutely loved it when he got mad, and attempted to be tough with her. It was quite possibly the funniest thing Keiara had ever seen in her life. "Siri, Siri, Siri." She chanted over and over again.

"Don't call them that, Kiki. If they were 'whores' as you so eloquently put it, I'd hardly be hanging around with them outside. There are plenty of vacant rooms in the castle just begging to be put to good use."
"Ew." Keiara said, making a disgusted face. "I would rather not be informed of your night job Siri. Really." She said, making a face that vaguely resembled Narcissa Black's. "I knew you were a man whore and all Siri, but I didnt know you were getting paid for it."

"What, did she think I was going to ravish you while you were distracted and looking in the other direction?"
"Not a clue. She seemed to think that I have a 'thing' for you." Keiara said, laughing to herself. "And that I better not get any ideas, since you are hers. Apparently she will curse the snot out of me if she ever sees me touching you again." She explained, shaking her head. "Your little fan base is getting quite riduculus Sirius. Pretty soon, they will be hunting you down, begging for a lock of hair." Kiki said, rolling her eyes.

[Gilderoy 'Gil' Lockhart]

Gilderoy happened to be taking a nice stroll through the lawns when he suddenly heard the dulcet tones of his most beloved Keiara. He strode confidently over to her, ready to profess his love (yet again) when he realized she wasn't alone.

Next to his darling was that Gryffindor Git: Sirius Black. Oh, how Gil couldn't stand that man.

"Kindly step away from my darling, would you, Black? You're blocking her beautiful face from the glorious rays of the sun!" He turned from his new rival to look upon his beloved's face. "How wonderfully ravishing you look today, Dearest. I'm sorry that this bumbling fool had to go and ruin your day." Gil said, confidently.

He knew that Black was up to no good. Honestly, what did these girls see in him? And what about Alice? What in the world did she find fun in running around with this nasty git?

[Sirius Black]

Sirius' expression blanked as he tuned out every utterance of that dreadul nickname and he briefly wished she was Slytherin or male so he could curse her stright into the Hospital Wing. Naturally, he ran with the new topic of him being a jigilo or somesuch.

"It's not as if I ask for the galleons. Really, I can't stop them from thanking me so profusely."

He smiled (after compulsively patting his hair to amek sure it was all still present) when Keiara went into further explanation about this mysterious fan of his. If the girl could go on repeating "Siri," he could needle her right back in a way that would annoy her just as much.

"My dear, we all know you fancy me. Though you play it cool, it's obvious to everyone in Hogwarts that you're waiting on pins and needles for me to sweep you off your feet."

Yes, associating Keiara with the average fangirl seemed to be a good idea at the time. And now that ponce Lockhart had acquired enough audacity to invade their space and insult Sirius. The "bumbling fool" was about to snap back when he formed an ingenious plan to cause maximum ischief and annoy both parties at once.

"Your darling? No, I'm afraid you've got that all wrong, my good man. The beautiful Kiki here was just confessing to me that you don't appeal to her at all. She thinks that she is a much better match for somebody who can back up his claims. Frankly, I agree. That's why I've accepted her pleas to let the two of us becaome more or less exclusive. Isn't that, right, pet?"

He turned his most charming grin on Kiki and reached out to caress her cheek, hoping she wouldn't try to break his fingers. His grin wavered to something fiendish for an instant before he composed himself once more.

[Gilderoy 'Gil' Lockhart]

"LAY YOUR HAND OFF OF HER YOU INCORRIGIBLE CAD!" he bellowed. There was no reason in the world for Sirius Black to stroke the most perfect cheek that Gil had ever seen, other than his own... of course.

"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL RIGHT HERE AND NOW, IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE POPULACE OF THIS FINE SCHOOL TO PROVE, ONCE AND FOR ALL, MY UNDYING LOVE FOR KEIARA WATERS!" He wasn't kidding. His voice carried throughout the grounds, most likely bringing several witnesses to Gil's breakdown.

He then turned to Kiki. "If he has done anything to harm one teensy hair on your head, love... I will avenge you! I know there's no way on Merlin's Beard that you could love this....this...MONSTER!"

He gracefully threw his gloves on the ground, signaling his challenge. He wasn't sure if this would be a fight with wands or fists. He was prepared for both. Tossing his hair back masterfully, he shouted, "I'M READY FOR YOU, BLACK. DO YOUR WORST!!"

[Keiara Waters]

"My dear, we all know you fancy me. Though you play it cool, it's obvious to everyone in Hogwarts that you're waiting on pins and needles for me to sweep you off your feet."
Keiara cocked an eyebrow at him. "You wish Black." She said, with a laugh. "Your a funny guy, you know that right?" Kiki said, rolling her eyes at him. There was slight truth in what Sirius had to say though. Over the years much to the disdainful Keiara, she had developed a small crush on her mate. Not that shed admit it though. "Keep on dreaming love. Maybe one day, you just might catch my fancy."

"Kindly step away from my darling, would you, Black? You're blocking her beautiful face from the glorious rays of the sun! How wonderfully ravishing you look today, Dearest. I'm sorry that this bumbling fool had to go and ruin your day."
Keiara had to try very hard not to groan out loud. Gilderoy was back. It seemed as if she could never get rid of him. "Im not your 'darling' Gil." She said though clenched teeth. Everday she had to remind him. "And Siri here is not ruining my day." Kiki said, closing her eyes, as the familar headache made its apperance again.

"Your darling? No, I'm afraid you've got that all wrong, my good man. The beautiful Kiki here was just confessing to me that you don't appeal to her at all. She thinks that she is a much better match for somebody who can back up his claims. Frankly, I agree. That's why I've accepted her pleas to let the two of us becaome more or less exclusive. Isn't that, right, pet?"
"Oh my God Sirius." She said, giving him a look that clearly stated her disdain for the boy at the moment. "2 things sweetheart." Kiki started. Although, she was rather tempted to go along with it, just to get Gilderoy off of her back. "I am not dating you, and I certainly didnt or would ever beg too." Keiara started, not taking her glaring eyes off of Sirius. "And second, if you ever call me pet again, I will use a Vanishing Charm on a certain part of you which Im sure you wont vanishing anytime soon." She said. As the saying goes, if looks could kill, Sirius Black would be six feet under. Kiki actually shuddered when he touched her cheek, and not a good shudder at that. He was only doing this to get a rise out of her and Lockhart. She reached up, and grabbed his hand rather forcefully. "Dont touch me Siri." Kiki said.

[Sirius Black]

Rather than immediately leaping valiantly to his feet and brandishing his wand in a swoon worthy manly pose, Sirius erupted into a fit of hearty laughter. He rocked back and forth and was just about to collapse into Keiara when she very effectively put him in his place. His laughter stifled at once and he found himself at a complete loss as to whether or not she was joking, being entirely sincere, or somewhere in between. he cleared his throat and said in a miraculously at ease voice,

"Trust me, Lockhart, she's being noble for your benefit. She thinks it's best to preserve your feelings and keep us as a pair on a low key until you get over it, but I think it's ridiculous. Best to make it quick and let you know the whole story. Like taking off a sticky bandage."

He smoothed down the front of his robes and smiled sweetly at his fellow Gryffindor.

"She's also a bit shy, believe it or not. Before you got here and interrupted, she had quite literally tackled me."

[Gilderoy 'Gil' Lockhart]

Gilderoy stared down the dark-haired boy. "I. DON'T. BELIEVE YOU. I don't. I refuse to because, well...Kiki is much more couth than that. End of discussion." He flourished his new mint green robes ravishingly.

"So, are we to duel or not, Black? ARE YOU SCARED??" Gil also laughed. It was such a foppish laugh to anyone OUTSIDE of Lockhart's brain. To him, it sounded debonair and dashing.

His forget-me-not blue eyes danced with a mixture of rage and envy. He was ready to have it out once and for all with this cad.

[Keiara Waters]

"Trust me, Lockhart, she's being noble for your benefit. She thinks it's best to preserve your feelings and keep us as a pair on a low key until you get over it, but I think it's ridiculous. Best to make it quick and let you know the whole story. Like taking off a sticky bandage."
"Sirius Orion Black." Keiara said in a voice that reminded her too much of her own mother. "Im going to murder you." She said, closing her eyes. Maybe they would just go away if she pretended she wasnt there. "I am not dating you Sirius. I would never date you. You want to know why? Because you are an arrogant pig. An over confindent slimeball. A big headed prat." Kiki said. She was reaching a point to where just looking at Sirius was infuriating her. That was the only downside to Sirius and Keiaras friendship [besides the constant bickering]. He got her so mad somedays, she just wanted to stomp right on that pretty little head of his.

"If he has done anything to harm one teensy hair on your head, love... I will avenge you! I know there's no way on Merlin's Beard that you could love this....this...MONSTER!"
"Oh my gosh." She muttered to herself. Somedays, actually most, Keiara thought Gilderoy was a complete nutter. Today was one of those days. "Gil, leave Sirius alone. I am a big girl, I can murder him myself, thank you for the offer though." She said, now thinking of ways to murder the young Gryffindor. In truth, Kiki was just trying to keep Gilderoy from attacking Sirius. Sirius would wipe the floor with him.

"She's also a bit shy, believe it or not. Before you got here and interrupted, she had quite literally tackled me."
At that second, Kiki just wanted to reach up and strangle her mate. She had pushed herself from the ground, and locked eyes with Sirius. "Oh yes Sirius, I can barely contain myself anymore." Her words dripping with sarcasm. "Now shut up, before I have to take up my offer on that Vanishing Charm." Kiki said, pulling at her wand, which was getting dangerously close to his pants. "And Im sure you wont like that."

[Sirius Black]

Sirius involutarily jumped to his feet, away from Keiara at her threat. He couldn't help it; it was hardwired in his brain to protect the threatened area at all costs. Both due to irritation at Kiki's irrationally harsh attitude toward what was supposed to be mock flirting all in good fun and to cover up the abrupt retreat, he took on a much more self-assured pose and a challenging smirk. Anyone who knew him could have read his body language and thought instantly that he was going to produce his wand and get himself into trouble. Which is exactly what he did.

"Alright, Prince of Ponces. Have it your way."

With that and the briefest of half-assed bows as the only warning, he stepped back on his left leg to give him a more secure stance and gave his wand a swift slicing motion as if he was attempting to slice off the top of Lockhart's head.

"Pelasco!"

The hair thickening charm. Fairly simple and much more nonviolent than one might expect from Sirius, but he really wasn't taken this duel seriously and aimed to poke fun at the blonde mroe than anything.

[Gilderoy 'Gil' Lockhart]

Sirius had jumped the gun on Gil, and he was subsequently unprepared for the hair-thickening charm that had been thrown at him. His luxurious hair became a forest upon his head. Luckily, (for some reason that even Gil didn't know) he had one of Alice's ribbons. Hastily, he tied his massacred hair back.

"Oh, you'll pay for that one Black!" Gil confidently tossed his robe to the ground and flourished his wand out of his pocket in one sweeping motion.

He aimed directly at Sirius' face, and with a fantastic flourish of his wand he cried, "Dribbulus Coruptikus!" For all of those who didn't know, Gil cast the Babbling Curse on poor Sirius. He didn't stand a chance. It was well deserved: Sirius had attacked his HAIR, for crying out loud.

Triumphant, Gil bowed to Kiki, and any others who witnessed his great revenge.

[Keiara Waters]

"Alright, Prince of Ponces. Have it your way."
"Oh dear lord." Keiara groaned, before plopping back down in the grass. "Thats it. Im done. Im just going to lay here and never move again. And when you silly idiotic boys are done having your duel, please, do let me know!" She said, in an over dramatic voice. Kiki fell back into the grass, her eyes sheezed shut. She opened her one eye, only a peek, to see what they were doing. "Just going to lay here. Not moving. Not doing anything. Ever again. Thanks to you two. Way to go!" Kiki announced loudly. She kept her one eye, opened just a teeny little bit to keep an eye one what was happening. Kiki couldnt see much. Being as Sirius blocked everything. All she could really see was his butt. Everyone was right, he was blessed.

"Pelasco!"
Even Keiara, who was being riduculsingly over dramatic, sat straight up. Even if she was trying to play the role of the peace keeper, Kiki couldnt help but chuckle. "Dear god." She muttered when she saw him whip out a hair ribbon. "Where did he get that from?" Kiki asked herself more than anyone else.

She watched as Gilderoy twirled his wand about, performing the charm on Sirius. Keiara raised an eyebrow, and looked expectingly at Sirius. She seriously doubted anything would happen. "Can you both just knock it off?" Kiki asked, as Gil bowed to her.
