Quidditch Through the Ages...Again

[Sirius Black]

Sirius galloped through the library to the usual spot. The warn cover of Quidditch through the ages stood out against all the relatively untouched spines of its fellows. Sirius grinned and pulled it off of the shelf before heading over to a little corner table. He flicked through the battered pages until he found the one he'd dog-eared the day before. He loved Quidditch. The only reason he wasn't on the team was his immense fear of heights! He flattened out the corner of the page and began reading the paragraph where he'd left off. The librarian had banned him from taking out books after he'd accidentally set fire to the last few he'd taken out.

[Anastasia Mauvais]

*she walked in, arms full of books as usual*

*stumbling slightly toward a nearby seat, she fumbled and dropped her books all over the floor, kneeling down her face was beet red as she mumbled under her breath*

_{Bloody hell...}

*this hadn't been one of her best days and she grumbled softly as she attempted to pick up her books and papers that had fallen all over the floor*

[Sirius Black]

Sirius looked up as Ana walked in. "Have a nice trip?" he snickered, flipping te page. Someone had drawn a rude picture on a photo of some ancient Quidditch team which made him laugh even more. He ran a hand through his messy black hair and leaned back in his chair watching Ana scrambling around with her books.

[Anastasia Mauvais]

*she frowned looking up at Sirius*

I'm fine, thanks. It just goes along with the rest of my day.

*she continued to pick her things up, trying not to cry from frustration*

[Sirius Black]

Sirius raised an eyebrow, still rocking on his chair. "Been a bit crappy, has it?" Sirius loved it when other people had bad days. It was much easier to wind them up. He'd have to let James know... He let his chair fall forward again and leaned his chin on his hand, looking at her intently.

[Anastasia Mauvais]

*she sighed, closing her eyes*

You could say that. Nothing is going right today.

[Sirius Black]

*Pouts and smirks*

Aww, poor Ana. What's wrong, lovely?

[Anastasia Mauvais]

*she sighed and looked up at him*

Well, first of all, a new potion I've been working on exploding in the lab and made a huge mess...then I was late for Transfiguration. I don't feel ready for any of my exams. And I received an owl from mother and father today, they've decided to spend most of the summer in Paris. So that leaves Kaylei and I alone in that house all summer. And I know she probably won't be there much so that just leaves me...

*she sat on the floor, looking at her papers still scattered along the floor*

[Sirius Black]

*Laughs*

You could come and stay with me and Prongs!

[Anastasia Mauvais]

*she looked up at him with a slightly confused look*

I...I wouldn't want to impose on either of you.

[Sirius Black]

*Shrugs*

Fine, whatever you say. Don't say I don't offer you things though.

*Sticks his tongue out*

[Anastasia Mauvais]

*she frowned a bit, she did want to stay with them, she wanted to be close to her friends, especially Sirius, but he didn't even put up a fight*

Why do you tease me so much?

*she stood up as she fought back the tears from her bad day and sat in a chair close to Sirius and avoided looking at him*

I'm sorry, Sirius...I'm just worried about exams more than anything.

[Sirius Black]

*Frowns slightly*

I'm not teasing. Just asked you a question...

[Anastasia Mauvais]

*she finally looked over at him, trying not to show her tears*

I just don't want to be a bother, Sirius. I mean, James' parents may not like the idea.

*she sighed slightly looking away*

I don't mean to take my bad day out on you. But you do tease me a lot...

*she smiled slightly*

[Sirius Black]

*Snickers*

I tease everyone!

*Shrugs*

You could always ask James... The worst he could do is say no...
