"In your personal opinion what is the height of stupidity?" Pandora asks out of the blue as we are chilling out in the room of requirement.

Our fellow Slytherin friends, plus the marauders and co all look quizzically at the girl's random question while I sit up a little from my place laid on on the sofa with my head on Remus' lap.

"Hey, Evan. How tall are you, mate?" I question curiously.

The question causes the others laugh loudly while Evan glares at me in annoyance, Mallory patting his back with a grin on her face.

"Where is Sirius?" Peter speaks up and I realise that the raven haired boy is in fact missing.

"No idea. He's been a little MIA recently" James shrugs.

"Probably with a hook up" Marlene suggests.

"Or in detention" Lily adds.

"Without me?" James gasps in disbelief.

"I'll go look for him" I chirp, hopping up onto my feet "Need to stretch my legs anyways"

"Here, this'll help you out" Remus tells me, handing me a piece of parchment.

I look at the boy in confusion and he glances at the other two marauders who grin at me.

"It's about time you knew about the marauders map" James speaks up.

"The marauders map?" I question.

"Tap your wand on the parchment and say 'i solemnly swear i am up to no good'" Remus explains to me.

"Strange, but okay" I nod, taking the map from him "Thank you, boys"

I salute the lounging group of Slytherins and Gryffindors before exiting the room of requirement. I do exactly as I was told and my eyes widen in shock when I notice all the corridors of Hogwarts full of moving names on the map in my hands.

Those conniving little lions.

It doesn't take me long at all to find Sirius' name out by the quidditch pitch, but I then remember that there is no practices going on today of any kind. I head out to the field anyways, filled with curiosity about where the boy runs off to all the time.

I spot Sirius with his back to me by the Hufflepuff stand, speaking to a smiling Amos Diggory and it piques my interest. Sirius hands Amos something and Amos gives him money in return. The Hufflepuff boy spots me and grins widely, walking towards me and right past a clueless Sirius.

"Funny seeing you here, Evangeline" He declares, causing Sirius to whip around with wide eyes.

"Piss off, Amos" I retort as the boy passes me, winking at me as he does.

I am abruptly grabbed and dragged away by Sirius who looks a little worried, his face paling.

"What were you doing, Sirius?" I snap at him.

"Nothing" He lies.

"Then why did Diggory give you money?" I fire back before my eyes widen "Oh Merlin, Sirius. Please tell me you aren't sleeping with people for money"

He looks at me with a deeply offended and disbelieving look which causes me to relax.

"I would never" He gasps dramatically "Not enough money in the world would make me sleep with Amos Diggory"

"Thank goodness" I sigh in relief.

I notice the boy starting to relax and that's when I make my move, slipping my hand into his jacket pocket and pulling out a tiny plastic bag filled with a familiar looking herb.

"Sirius, what is this?" I ask him curiously, holding up the bag.

His eyes widen again and he pushes his hands into his pockets in disbelief before reaching out to snatch it from me, but I hide it behind my back.

"Tell why you have this and I'll give it back" I bargain.

He hesitates before rolling his eyes and shoving his hands back into his pockets in defeat.

"It's a muggle drug. It helps you relax" He explains.

"I know what weed is, dumbnuts. Why do you have it?" I scoff.

"You know what it is?" He questions in surprise.

"Of course I do. I'm friends with Pandora Lestrange" I say as if it's obvious.

"I just knew she was cool" Sirius grins.

"Stop changing the subject and answer my question" I snap impatiently.

"I'm dealing it for a bit of quick cash" He admits.

"Sirius, have you forgotten that you're one of the richest students at this school?" I ask in disbelief.

"Was" He corrects.

"Walburga and Orion cut you off" I realise.

"Yes, and although the Potters have no problem in throwing money away if it means I need something, I hate spending their money. I hate feeling reliant on them. I want to have something of my own" Sirius explains to me.

"That's understandable" I nod softly, deciding not to push him any further "Your secret is safe with me, Rius"

I hand him his weed back and he smiles warmly, tilting his head a bit like a puppy dog.

"You wanna get high with me?" He questions and I grin widely.

"I thought you'd never ask" I counter.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

My whole body feels almost weightless and my mind is void of any useful thoughts at all as I skip merrily back to the room of requirement, Sirius' hand holding mine as he skips along side me with a cheery grin on his face.

As we turn the corner, Sirius trips up on thin air and goes tumbling to the ground. My hand slips from his and I watch in surprise as he is sent sprawling onto the corridor floor. Laughter bursts from my mouth and I double over in hysterics, slapping my knee.

Instead of being upset or dramatic about the situation, Sirius laughs loudly and pushes his hair out of his face as I grab onto the wall for stability. I end up sliding down the wall onto my arse, heaving deep breaths through my giggles.

"Now, what do we have here?" The voice of James Potter tuts in amusement.

I look up at the head boy and head girl who are looking down at us, arms crossed and heads shaking with smiles on their faces.

My eyes drift to Sirius who looks at me too and within seconds we both burst out laughing, slapping each other and sprawling out on the floor as we cackle to ourselves.

"Oh, Merlin" Lily grumbles.

"I got Padfoot, you get Whiskers" James tells his girlfriend.

James yanks Sirius to his feet and Lily helps me up in a much gentler way.

"Hi, Lils. You're looking extra pretty today" I grin, twirling a strand of her red hair around my finger which causes her to blush.

"Are you fucking serious?" James scoffs, swatting my hand away from Lily.

"No, i'm fucking Remus" I counter.

Sirius cackles loudly at the joke and James cracks an amused smile while Lily throws her arm around me.

"Nice one, Angel" She chirps.
