Detention {Open}

[Alexis Hartley]

Lexi let out a sigh as she stared ahead at the huge room in front of her, wet rag held in her left hand. The professor next to her seemed to drone on and on about what her detention was. She’d served detention here enough times to know, so she blocked him out. No magic, don’t leave until you finish, polish every trophy. It was all the same stuff. Eventually he finished his speech and left her alone in the trophy room. Picking up the bucket she had set down she moved toward the wall of trophies.

Was it really her fault she had a hard time waking up every morning? So what if she was late to class every one in a while. It was much better than some of the things other people did, like those marauders with all their pranks. The things they did were detention worth, being late to class? Not really.

She quickly got to work polishing the trophies. Being unable to use magic seemed like one of the dumbest things ever. If witches and wizards were capable of magic, then they should be able to use it. This punishment was a waste of time.

Usually when she had detention there would be at least one other person in it with her. However, as she polished the trophies she began to believe that she was going to be the only one that night. At least when there was someone else she would be able to talk to them. The sixteen year old sighed once again, preparing herself for a few hours of boredom.

[Sirius Black]

Sirius shoved his hands in his pockets and he wandered slowly down the corridor towards the room where he had his detention tonight. He wouldn't have come at all but the professor he had detention with had caught his heading towards the kitchen and had brought him up here. The old guy had only gone once the door to the room was in sight and at that point Sirius had slowed his pace down. Finally he reached it and he lazily opened the door only to find that he wasn't alone but would be accompanied by some blonde girl.

On closer inspection he recognised the girl to be Alexis Hartley who was in the same year and house as he was. He sat down on the professor's desk at the front and put one foot on the seat in front and the other on the chair's back. He watched her as she worked, not feeling at all guilty for letting her doing all the work. He had done more than his fair share of detentions so he felt that he deserved a break.

"Lexi, Lexi, Lexi. What did you do to land yourself a one way ticket to sore knees and wrinkly fingertips?" Sirius asked, heaving a great sigh, "Never figured you to be a detention bird but I guess you're just full of surprises."

[Alexis Hartley]

Lexi hadn’t heard Sirius enter the room. She had been so busy wiping the trophies that the time seemed to drone on and she just let her hands do the work as she day dreamed. Even when he entered the room and sat on the desk she was oblivious to it.

So, when she heard him say her name, it caused her to jump, nearly knocking over the trophy she had been polishing. “Oh my God!” She breathed as she set her hand on the trophy, making it stop wobbling. “Sirius, don’t sneak up on me like that! You startled me.” Throwing the rag into the nearby bucket, she walked over to him.

It didn’t surprise her to see that she would be sharing detention with the famous marauder. They seemed to be in detention all the time, so it was inevitable that she would share one with him eventually.

“Well, I just happen to be in here because I was late to class a few times.” She told him. “Seems a bit unfair.” She added with a shrug, but she wasn’t about to argue with the teachers and lose house points.

“What about you, Sirius. Which one of your numerous pranks brings you here?” She asked curiously.

[Sirius Black]

He chuckled to himself when she jumped. He knew he shouldn't laugh but he couldn't help it. "Sorry, love. I didn't realise you could get so caught up in cleaning trophies."

"They stopped giving me detentions for that ages ago. I guess they finally realised that detentions don't work on me. They're just relieved that I turn up at all," he shrugged, "Maybe they still have some hope for you, you're not a lost cause like me."

Sirius feigned shock at her accusation. "I cannot believe you are insinuating that I, Sirius Black, would actually participate in such delinquent acts. I just always happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!" One look at her told him his dramatics weren't fooling anyone. "Okay fine, I turned Snape's hair pink."

[Alexis Hartley]

She sent Sirius a playful glare when she saw him laughing at her. "Well, you know, you could help instead of just standing here watching me as I clean. Though, I know it's difficult for you to resist staring at me." She told him with a small smirk, flicking her hair over her shoulder.

"You're so lucky! Wish I could get out of detention." Of course there would be bent rules for Sirius. He always seemed to be the center of attention and stood out. "Lost cause?" She asked thinking out loud, "You can't seriously think that about yourself, can you?" She asked, hoping that he was only kidding.

The entire time Sirius was giving his speech she was sending him a look that clearly said, 'who do you think you're kidding'. It was well known that the marauder played various pranks.

"Ooooh, so it was you that did that." Lexi said, laughing as she remembered the prank. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. You guys are awfully mean to Snape, though. How come?" She asked, she wasn't the only person that had noticed that many of their pranks revolved around Snape. "I mean, besides the fact that he's a grease-ball and a creep."

[Nemesis Nyx]

Detention. Oh, she loved it. Third time that week, actually. She was amazed that the teachers hadn't caught on to the fact that detention wasn't going to stop her from doing anything she got in trouble for. She was equally amazed that they hadn't docked house points, either. Most teachers looked for any excuse to dock Slytherin house points. Then again, most of her teachers made some excuse to be lenient with her.

Her favourite, by far, was from Professor Flitwick, after he had excused her from a detention after she had "accidentally" jinxed Narcissa's nose right off her face. His exact words were, "Now, I know that these things are difficult to master dear--" while that was true, she had known exactly what she was doing, "--and besides, you don't deserve a detention for an accident. You're a bright young lady... albeit you frighten me a bit--actually, no, you frighten me a lot." It made her laugh just thinking about it.

Her arms were in their usual position, folded underneath her breasts. She walked down the hall towards the room she was serving detention in, this time because McGonagall, the old bat, caught her smoking one of her kreteks again. She had been given the evil eye when she protested there was no rule against smoking, but McGonagall threatened to do something to her that would make her regret ever picking up the habit. Needless to say, she didn't want to hear her bitching, so she just took the detention.

When she entered the room, she wasn't aware of the two other people already in there. So, she was a bit surprised when she saw them there, though only the uncertain expression her lips moved into and a raised eyebrow indicated it. "Damn. I didn't think anyone else would be here." Not that it actually bothered her, considering that it was just Alexis, whom she had no problem with, and of course, Sirius.

She set her bag down near the doorway and set her hands on her hips, looking at them.

[Sirius Black]

"And why would I want to do that?" he asked raising an eyebrow as if she'd just said the most stupid thing in the world. "Terribly difficult. But can you blame me? Wash trophies or watch you bend over to do it? I think we both know what I'd prefer to do."

"Course not! I know I have a cause. It is to give pleasure to as many women as humanly possible and I've done a damn good job so far, wouldn't you say so?" he smirked. "It's just Slughorn that calls me a lost cause, says my talent has gone to waste. But then again he hasn't seen me in bed. Thankfully." Sirius shuddered at the thought. He'd never really gotten on all that well. He didn't like the idea of being someone's trophy, not that he'd ever been invited to any of the 'Slug Club' things.

"He deserves everything he gets," he said with a snarl. "We just don't get along, never have and hopefully never will. He's a spiteful piece of shit that doesn't deserve to lick the dirt off my boots. He associates with Bellatrix, Narcissa and Regulus which automatically makes me dislike him. And plus he's a Slytherin. Do I need any more reason?"

Sirius' head turned quickly when the door opened and he smiled over at Nemesis. "Don't sound too happy now will you?" he joked. He swung his legs around so they were dangling over the edge, only his toes were touching the floor. "What are you in for, Nem?"

[Nemesis Nyx]

"And what, exactly, is wrong with being a Slytherin, Mr. Black?" Nemesis asked, her tone one of offense though her face clearly showed she wasn't truly offended. Quite the opposite actually. She crossed the room to the desk Sirius sat on and stood in front of him for a moment, pouting a little. She scoffed, "You make it sound like I always have detention." So maybe she did, but Sirius didn't need to call attention to that. "All I was doing was smoking. Honestly, I see no harm in that. It's not like I was drowning kittens or anything like that... so I don't know what McGonagall's problem is."

She pulled the pack of kreteks out of her pocket and showed them to Sirius. "See? No harm in that. I'm just glad she didn't confiscate them. They were expensive..." She sighed softly and looked toward Lexi, wondering how she was supposed to greet her. Yeah, they had talked once or twice, but it's not like she had anything interesting or some inside joke to greet her with. She sufficed for a nod, a slight smile, and the murmur of "Hey Lexi," before she leaned against one side of the desk.

"It's not that I'm unhappy... it just surprised me, is all. I was planning on sleeping..." she explained. "But now that I know you're in here..." she smirked. "I know I definitely don't want to do that. Gods know what you'd do to me in my sleep..." She laughed slightly and hoisted herself up on the desk next to Sirius.

[Alexis Hartley]

Lexi turned toward the door as she heard it open. It seemed like there would be quite a few people serving detention tonight. Well, hopefully this new person would be willing to help unlike a certain someone.

"Hm, Sirius, you speak like you've gotten me in bed before. Sorry, hun, but that's never happened." She said with a smirk, proud of herself that she had never managed to fall victim to his charms. Sure, he was good looking, but that wasn't the most important thing when it came to guys. And, he was funny, but he lacked seriousness. How ironic.

Lexi listened as Sirius went on about Snape and the Slytherins. "No, I suppose you don't. You've pretty much explained it all." She commented with a nod. It was obvious that he greatly hated the other student as well as Slytherins, so Lexi found it strange when he greeted Nemesis, with a rather friendly question.

Lexi sent Nemesis a light smile when the other girl greeted her. "Hi, Nemesis." She said, trying to be friendly. Thought, her and Sirius appeared to know each other. How had that happened? She shrugged, deciding she wasn't going to worry about it.

Lexi felt rather out of place as she realized that she could probably be considered the 'good girl' here. Sirius had been pranking, while Nemesis had been smoking. What had she done? Well, simply, had a few tardies. Nothing detention-worthy when compared to these two.

[Sirius Black]

"Where do I start?" he teased. "Honsetly though, I have nothing against the Slytherin house as a whole. It's just that most of the ones that I've met are horrible gits!"

"But you do don't you?" he asked raising an eyebrow. He was sure that she once told him that she was always getting detention. "Decided against that did you? I have to admit drowning kittens is getting a bit cliché," he joked. Sirius wrapped his arm loosely around Nemesis' waist when she sat next to him. He smirked wickedly at her, "I'd prefer to do that sort of stuff while you awake."

"Never happend yet! You've held strong so far but you would be able to resist my charm for much longer. Well you missed your chance Lexi. I don't reckon my girlfriend will be too happy if I sleep with you," Sirius told her.

[Nemesis Nyx]

Nemesis laughed, shaking her head. "You know that as much as I hate cats, I don't drown kittens." She crossed one leg over the other and tilted her head to the side a bit, one of her plaits falling over her shoulder. She glared playfully at him. "Oh, well, then maybe you should demonstrate that behaviour before I get bored of you," she joked, providing a false yawn.

She leaned against him a bit, and looked over at Lexi, smiling a bit. "No, sorry to say, I'm not really one for sharing... especially where hard work is concerned." She moved her legs, draping them over Sirius' lap and draped one arm loosely around his neck. "As for the latter affair, I'd make an exception, but you know that when your boyfriend is willing to sleep with someone else when he hasn't even mentioned it to you, there's a tiny problem." She smirked, ruffling Sirius' hair lightly.

[Sirius Black]

"Hate cats," he said in a low growl, "Mangy buggers they are, can't stand them!" he then added with a grin, "Dogs are so much better! Dogs kick cats arses. They make much better pets and are much more intelligent. Cats on the other hand are lazy and stupid."

Sirius moved his head closer to her neck and placed a few kisses in the sensitive spot just beneath her ear. "Mmm, it would be my pleasure," he muttered as he worked his way down to her shoulder, "Though I do resent the bored part, I think I shall be able to over look it this time. But only if you meet me in the room of requirement tonight at 7."

Sirius pulled himself away from the kisses to say, "I was being a gentleman I'll have you know! I didn't think you'd appreciate me asking about it so early on, most girls don't. Didn't want to rush you into anything, though if you like being rushed then just say the word." He smirked as he said, "Though I should have said words since 'Sirius, fuck me!' is three."

[Nemesis Nyx]

At this, Nemesis smirked and shook her head, "Why, that was a rather sexy voice, Mr. Black, but might I add that you may be a bit biased?" She raised both eyebrows and looked down at him suspiciously. She shivered at the kisses he pressed all the way down to her shoulder, then smiled a little.

"Of course, love," now she was grinning. "Shall I bring the chocolate?" She chuckled slightly at that, looking over at Lexi, taking into consideration how uncomfortable she must have been. She slid off Sirius' lap, smiling a little sheepishly at Lexi.

She took Sirius' hand in her own and gave it a slight reprimanding squeeze. "Behave, mister," she told him, though she laughed softly at his words, and murmured in his ear quickly, "Are you sure it won't be 'Nemesis, fuck me!' and not the other way around?"
