As he waited for Devin to answer him, Sirius gently leaned back on his chair, extending the length of his reach. A look of boredom adorning his face, he outstretched his arm and grabbed a random book from the shelf behind him.
As he returned his seat to four feet and pulled the book open, his ears picked up on something. Frowning, the boy swiveled 'round in his seat.
His eyes narrowed, he nudged Devin. Whispering, voice barely in audible, he murmured, "Is it just me or can you hear humming?" Without allowing the girl to his side the time to answer, Sirius tugged his wand from his robes and thrust it through the shelf, dodging the books in its path.
For a fleeting moment, his eyes remained shut, a look of concentration passed over his face. Oh how he loved the surprise of non-verbal spells. "Levicorpus," he thought to himself, biting his lip as he forced himself to concentrate on the incantation rather than laugh. "Levicorpus!"
A flash of light illuminated the back section and Sirius winced as it did so. Hurriedly, he pried his eyes open, desperate to hear the cry of surprise normally issued as a person is tugged upside down into the air by the ankle.
In Sirius' opinion there was no better way to cure an eavesdropper, than to hang them in the air for a while.

"Yeah, relationships cause so many problems." Devin replied. She was then startled by a small humming sound, but before she could tell Sirius he stood up to take care of the matter. This should be amusing. Devin thought to herself as she saw a familiar flash of light. "Levicorpus huh? Very useful, one of my favorites in fact." Having read about so many hexes she could now recognize which one it was without hearing the incantation. (At least, most of the time.)
"Lets go see who it is!" she said excitedly as she got up from her chair, leaving the cook book lying on the table in front of her now vacated seat. She wheeled around the corner of the isle to see none other than Andromeda Black. At this she began to laugh. "Learn anything interesting?" she asked putting her wand back into her pocket. "You never really hit me as an eavesdropping type of person, you know."

"Yup. Great, isn't it? One of those spells which simply can't be learnt in a book... well... unless you count..." Sirius' eyes widened as he realised how close he was to revealing something that should remain a secret.
One can only imagine the relief that flooded over him as Devin ran off to gape at their spy. Taking a huge breath, then immediately exhaling, Siirus followed the smaller girl, though his pace was much slower than Devin's.
As he approached the end of his aisle, he hesitated. Should he follow the corner round and investigate, or stay away from the crime scene? Had he even hit the eavesdropper?
On hearing Devin's remarks, he had beceome positive, but on further contemplation of the matter, he was no longer so sure.

Andromeda screamed as she was lifted off her feet and upside down, hanging in midair. Her wand feel out of her pocket. Wonderful.
"Let me down!!! Andromeda cried, trying to keep her skirt from falling over her face. Her blonde hair twisted slightly as Andy readily tried to get her skirt under control.
"What the hell is your problem?" She spat at Devin, holding her skirt up with one hand while reaching for her wand on the ground with the other. This process wasn't too successful though. She would either have to pick her wand, or her reputation.
Andy went with her reputation, or what was left of it anyways, so stopped trying to get her wand and continued attempting to keep her skirt up.
That was when Andromeda reconized a certain black haircut through the bookcase. "Sirius Black!" She said sharply. "If you do not let me down this very second, I will be forced to mail your mother!"
Heh, it was punishment all of its own.

The flailing Andromeda was a very amusing sight indeed. She listened as Andy screamed her head off, laughing all the while. "Well, its what you get for eavesdropping!" she called over the girl's wails. "And keep it down! Do you want Madam Pince to hear you?" Devin couldn't help but giggle as she watched her struggle with her skirt.
Mail his mother? Hmm.. There didn't seem to be anything terrible about that. I mean, its his mother, if she's anything like Sirius she would have found the situation funny. These thoughts ran through her mind as she poked her head back into the isle she had recently left, hoping to see Sirius's reaction.

Sirius gasped as a recognisable scream fought its way into his ears. The eavesdropper was Andy?!
Eyes narrowed, the teenager allowed himself to amble casually into the next aisle, and once in place a few metres away from his air-borne cousin, leaned up against one of the plentiful bookshelves.
"Andy, Andy, Andy," he said in a tone of mock disappointment, shaking his head and grinning at Devin as he did so, "What did you think..." Sirius would have continued, only Andromda's gabbled words prevented him from doing so.
The smile on his face transformed quickly into a look genuine disbelief. "You wouldn't...." he breathed, "She wouldn't... she wouldn't listen to you..." But through all the speaking, cogs were working frantically in Sirius' mind, a sliver of doubt was niggling at him.

Andromeda grinned, her face beginning to turn red from hanging upside down.
"Ah." She smirked. "I have finally found your weak spot."
It wasn't like Andy had been trying all these years to find out where Sirius Black's mental break down spot was, she had just always been curious of what he was... well, afraid of.
Andy had always been alert when her parents were mentioned also. There must have been something in the Black bloodline to 'fear thy elders'.
"Now that I have your attention," Andy started quite casually, her hands still clasped on to the base of her skirt. "Let. Me. Down... gently!" That last word she spoke was probably one of the most important in that sentance.

"It's not a weak spot!" Sirius retorted, horrorstruck, "It's not. And what if I don't want to let you down? I mean... this could benefit you, Andy. Already there's some sixth year Ravenclaws eyeing you up... or maybe it's just your knickers!"
Sirius outstretched his tongue, befroe running willowy fingers over his wand. "But I suppose, seeing as you're family, I'll let you down. Gently, too. But you have to promise not to hex, curse or in any way attack me once you're backon firm ground. Promise?"

"Haha." Andromeda said, her voice dripping with sarcasm at Sirius comment about the 6th year. She had to think a bit about what to say next. She had to somehow punish her cousin for causing this terrible, terrible incident.
"And if I refuse to not hex you or hurt you in some way when I get down," Andy began. "You'll just leave me hanging?"

"Nope." Sirius shook his head, locks tumbling, "I'll body-bind you, put warts on you and then leave you hanging."
Smirking, the boy began to play with his wand, turning it this way and that, "But if you don't want to agree, then..." He trailed off, shrugging at Andromeda.

Andormeda glared at Sirius and then sighed. "Fine, I promise to not hurt you or hex you when you gently let me down." Ug, stupid cousin.
"But only today." She quickly stated. "Just in case someone puts the Imperius curse on you and you come to attack me, you know. I need to defend myself." She nodded, her face now magenta. She was starting to feel a bit light headed.

"Agreed." Fighting back a smile, Siirus nodded, before tightening the grip he held on his wand.
A second and a flash of light later, the teenager had released his older cousin from her dilemma and could be found rubbing his left arm with his right, looking nervously about the library, should Madame Pince be approaching.
Having decided the coast was clear, he shrugged and turned to Devin. "Now that the eavesdropper has been punished, shall we continue?"

Andromeda muttered some very nasty words under breath as she finally stood up from the ground, picking up her wand. Thank god no one saw.
"I'll leave you two lovers along now." She joked, striding past the two 3rd years as she headed for the door, her long silkly blonde hair flowing behind her. Andromeda's grin quickly turned upside down as she noted this. Oh well. She'd somehow fix this problem. Some how.

Indignance overwhelming him, Sirius once again spun on his heel, dashing after his cousin with a snort.
After the short chase, he went to grab Andromeda's elbow, the tips of his ears, and the base of his neck, very red indeed. "You know you want to take that back," Sirius said hotly, attempting to pull his cousin 'round to face him, "We are not lovebirds!"

Andromeda willfully turned to face her cousin, letting him hold on to her elbow.
She couldn't help herself as she looked at his expression, she grinned. "Oh?" Andromeda tried to say casually but ended up giggling.
"Well, I--" Andy stopped herself. It was probably better to not point out to Sirius that he was turning into a tomato. "I'll just leave you two kids alone." She smiled, yanking away from Sirius' grip and once again turning twords the door.
