Where was she? Sirius was getting restless.

He peeked his head out the door of the empty classroom to keep an eye out for Kelsey. According to Moony, she should be passing by anytime now. He nervously felt for the contraption in his uniform pocket checking for the hundredth time that it was there.

As soon as he heard footsteps, he stepped back into the darkness of the classroom, pulling the cloak over himself. He could hear her humming one of the songs she usually would. As per Sirius' instructions, Moony had made himself scarce a few minutes before leaving her alone on patrol.

This was his plan for getting back at her. She'd made it clear that their recent change in relationship status, thought Sirius smugly, had no effect whatsoever on their other tiff. The idea only made him more excited. It made her seem more appealing to him.

Although he hadn't expected her to be that brutal. Whispers of Sirius hung about the castle even a few days later. Of course, the boys thought it was hilarious.

At one point even Prongs had said: 'Padfoot, mate. You need to snatch her up soon.' Of course, Sirius hadn't told any of them the truth yet.

The whistling grew louder and he knew it was time. Just like many times before, he shot a hand out to grab her and pulled her into the classroom. She was about to shriek when he spun her around to face him in the dark.

"You. Need. To. Stop. Doing. That." She immediately started smacking him. With a smirk, he took in her flushed face as she got her breathing back in control.

He pushed her against the wall, trapping her in with his hands up on both sides of the wall. "Black," she started off in a warning tone but instead of listening he simply went for it and captured her lips with his.

Mad as he was, who was he to deny the urge to kiss her every time he saw her? They riled each other up in the best ways possible.

All thoughts of patrolling went out the window the moment Sirius' lips touched hers.

Was this why parents told girls to stay away from boys? Kelsey wondered.

She was in heaven as he kissed along her jawline and she frankly didn't care why she had stayed away for so long. Other than the fact that no one had made her feel that way to date and it still petrified her. This was none other than the very same boy who had been labelled as the Bane of her Existence until a few weeks ago.

"You really need to stop doing that," she said but tilted her head back to give him better access to her neck regardless.

"Doing what?" he whispered hoarsely, as he continued sucking on her neck.

"The hickeys," she sighed. Her eyes were closed to focus on the feeling of his lips on her neck once again.

She thought he'd be off avoiding her or planning something but here he was. She brought his face up to hers again, deepening the kiss when the classroom door suddenly burst open.

In the dark, Sirius immediately grabbed her hand and tugged her down to crouch on the ground while simultaneously reaching for the cloak he had discarded somewhere. He threw it over both of them as they stayed low.

He brought a finger up to his lip to tell her to keep quiet and she nodded.

"James, what are you- oh! James! Not here!" The unmistakable voice of Lily Evans echoed through the empty classroom as a horrified Sirius and Kelsey watched their friends stumble in with apparently the same idea.

Sirius should have known better. He never thought Prongs would actually use this hideout of his.

"James," they heard Lily warn followed by a soft sigh. There was a muffled response which neither of them could understand.

Kelsey peeked through the cloak, watching as much as she could without disgusting herself too much. This would be the stuff she brought up at their wedding one day. She wanted to get a clear picture.

"We can't be missing patrols. They report to us," Lily protested while half-heartedly trying to pry James' hands off of her.

Under the cloak, Kelsey pretended to gag while Sirius stifled a laugh.

"Fine. But you owe me, Evans."

"Maybe, I'll owe you, two Potter." They could hear the smirk in her voice.

Kelsey's eyes all but bulged out of her sockets as she tried not to think of the double meaning behind those words. Surely Lily wouldn't?

It was Sirius' turn to want to puke as he scrunched his face. It was like seeing a family member go at it. It made him want to Obliviate himself.

They remained low and hidden until they were sure the other couple was gone once Potter had reluctantly followed Lily out the door again. The coast was clear.

"Ugh, they'll be looking for me now," Kelsey got up from under the cloaking, dusting off her skirt.

"Still got some time, I reckon," Sirius said, grabbing her by the waist and pushing her towards the Professor's desk at the front of the classroom.

"Sirius! Stop!" Kelsey squealed as quietly as she could. "What if someone comes back?" she asked as Sirius helped her sit up on the desk.

"Trust me, no one ever does. Not here," he murmured and going in to kiss her again when he was met with a steely look.

She was unsure and there were moments she still couldn't believe this was real. And then he said things like that that made her reconsider because it hurt her heart.

"Brought all your girls here, have you?" she asked.

He chuckled but she wasn't having it. "It's the classroom Wormtail and I use as a hideout spot from Filch," he explained to reassure her.

She looked at him looking for signs of trickery or lies. But there weren't any. But hold up. He was Sirius Black, a known wooer of the ladies. Hell, she had seen some of the best seventh years fall victim to his charms back when they were just sixth-years.

He took a deep breath before settling himself between her legs, standing up straight.

"Kelsey," he began.

"Black," she replied.

"I hate that you scare me like this," he admitted.

"I hate that you make me this way," she admitted too. "And you know I'm too smart to have my self-worth be questioned by players," she said with her nose up in the air, doing her best to sound haughty.

"Bugger," Sirius looked pained for a moment. "No. You're right and I'd never..Jones-" he broke off again. "-This is all still new to me. There are times I will say tosser-like shite. This is the exact kind of thing Moony had warned me against doing," he rambled on.

"For the love of-" Kelsey grabbed him by the collar and crashed his lips down on hers this time, kissing him with force.

"Must say, Jones," he grinned against her lips. "That last one in Minnie's class was original. Always knew you had it in you."

"I told you I wasn't going to go easy," she whispered back, biting his lower lip.

"Then you won't mind if I do this," he growled oh so enticingly that it didn't register. Not for a few moments.

In the middle of their latest illicit misdoings, Kelsey didn't notice Sirius remove a metal contraption from his pocket. The feeling of his mouth back on her jawline and that of his one hand rubbing circles on her waist was doing crazy things to her. Such as setting her nerves on fire.

Which is why when Sirius used his other hand to lock one end of the handcuff to the Professor's chair next to her and the free cuff to her own, it took her some time to process.

Kelsey tried to reach both her hands to cup his face, but only one made the cut.

"Sirius what the-" Kelsey jerked her right hand but she was trapped. To the chair. With a pair of muggle handcuffs. The police kind.

"And before you go getting ideas in that pretty little head of yours," Sirius waved his wand at the chair, casting a Permanent Sticking Charm so that the chair wasn't going anywhere.

Such as the Hufflepuff common room. He wouldn't put it past her to drag it all the way back.

"I will END YOU SIRIUS ORION BLACK!" Kelsey's voice started rising as she frantically tried to feel for her wand in her pocket to undo the spell. It was a slow process since her dominant hand was now useless.

"Ah ah. Looking for this?" By now Sirius had placed considerable distance between the two of them. He held up her wand, taunting her with the sight of what would have been her ticket to freedom.

With a grin, he threw it to the corner of the classroom. Out of her reach.

She was fuming - absolutely seething in disbelief.

Watching her fury, as usual, egged him on. He pretended to let out a huge yawn and stretched.

"Well, I'm not sure about you Jones, but I think I'll be off to get that beauty sleep now." He made to head for the door, picking the cloak off the floor.

"SIRIUS!! Don't you dare-"

"Oh and I don't know how you feel about rodents, but I have it on good authority from Wormtail that this part of the castle has the occasional infestation," he snickered gleefully, taking the time to pause at the door.

Sirius heard a shrill screech as Kelsey scrambled to lift herself up on the desk completely.

"Did you hear?"

The random no-name Ravenclaw sighed.

It was his understanding that in the past few months, should anyone start a sentence with 'Did you hear?', there was a good chance it was about Kelpie Jones.

He hadn't missed how she had shouted 'Stranger Danger' a few weeks back as Sirius Black dragged her off into a corridor to do Merlin knows what. He shuddered at the thought of what non-study related things those two were often up to.

"What did she do now?" he asked.

"Kinky Kelpie was fou- wait a minute, how'd you guess?" his friend asked, surprised.

The guy rolled his eyes. "You were saying?"

Shaking his head, the other boy answered: "Kinky Kelpie was found handcuffed on a Professor's desk this morning."

"It's barely 7.30 am. When even-"

But before he could finish the sentence, the doors of the Great Hall burst open dramatically.

"Great here we go again," his friend muttered as the sparse crowd of students turned to watch more drama unfold.

Sirius Black was sitting at the Gryffindor table with James. He admitted - it was an early start for him for he had been unceremoniously woken up by a furious Moony an hour ago. Apparently, when Kelsey was still missing in the morning when Astrid woke up, she had gone to Moony who had then connected the dots, remembering his friend's odd request.

Sirius had paid the price by listening to Moony express his disappointment while Prongs and Wormtail chortled in the dorm. Especially when they learned that she was found handcuffed sometime later.

Kelsey's body ached. After Sirius had left her to fend for herself, she had spent the rest of her night, trying to sleep as best as she could on the table. The result was backache and one stiff neck.

She had been woken up by a scandalised-looking McGonagall who then proceeded to hand her two weeks' worth of detentions.

But now as she entered the Great Hall, bright and early, her drowsiness slipped away into a rage as she spotted Sirius at the Gryffindor table.

Sensing her murderous intentions, he looked over to her and sent her another one of his charming grins.

Damn him and his stomach-fluttering looks. Did he have to look so effortlessly casual in the morning?

With renewed determination, she walked over to him and Potter and lifted Sirius up by the collar before he could stop her.

"Got something to say, Jones?" he grinned smugly. Her eyes narrowed into slits. His face was only centimeters away and this was very much still a public place.

"Blimey Kelps," he cried out suddenly, purposely drawing more attention. "It's a little early in the morning to be getting rough innit? Although from what I hear, you've already had your fill of the kinky stuff last night," he said, making Potter next to him snicker.

Kelsey wanted to die as students started staring at her.

Sirius could feel the flames radiating off of her and he had to admit. Riling her up was his favorite thing. She looked ready to slam her lips into him, he could feel the internal battle raging in her mind. The proximity was dangerous.

"Listen here you little shite-" stop distracting me with those grey eyes, was how she wanted to complete that sentence but was distracted by the change in his expression.

"Ahem."

Kelsey let go of his collar, letting him fall back into his seat. She silently turned to face McGonagall who just looked down at her, even more disappointed than she had been when she had found her not even an hour ago in said classroom.

Back at the Hufflepuff table, Kelsey took a seat next to Astrid. She grabbed some toast and eggs off the table when she realised it was too quiet. Astrid was usually chirpy in the mornings.

"How come you didn't tell me you were seeing someone?" her best friend's voice quivered as she looked down at her plate.

Astrid met her gaze with tears in her eye. "And to think I had to find out about it from Doreen after I went through the trouble of trying to look for you! I thought we told each other everything!"

"Tatty - no!" Kelsey went to explain but how could she? What could she possibly say that justified her sneaking off to be with Sirius in a dark and deserted classroom. It was their illicit affair. "It's not what you think!" she called out as her friend stormed off her breakfast half-eaten. But it was of no use.

Kelsey glanced at the Gryffindor table, where Sirius and Potter were now sitting. They kept looking over their shoulder at her with a triumphant look.

With lethal intent, she grabbed two boiled eggs and a fork.

She met Black's gaze and held it. With utmost precision she stabbed the egg, making it split in half as she watched Sirius' gaze fall to the metaphoric eggs in horror and he gulped. He adjusted his crotch area as discreetly to keep it out of her sight, afraid the egg would have a voodoo effect on him.

That was enough to get her through the day as she unwittingly re-debuted as Kinky Kelpie 2.0.
