LOVEBIRDS?! Devin, who had been listening to their conversation with amusement for some time had taken it well up until this point. She walked over to Sirius's side, trying to keep herself from running over and kicking her has hard as she could.
Once next to him, she allowed the quietest whisper to escape her mouth. "Just play along." It was almost silent, and was barely loud enough to be heard by Sirius much less Andy.
She then turned to Andy, and called. "It seems to me that Andy here, is jealous because Sirius has had more people grovel over his feet then you've had even look at you." the words rolled off her tongue casually as she put her hand on Sirius's shoulder, trying to make it seem more convincing. She didn't dare look over at him to see if he was playing along, but could do nothing else but trust him.

Andromeda froze in the middle of the doorway, ready to crumble into a little ball on the floor. Now Devin was turned against her? What was the world coming to.
"I-- I--" Andromeda didn't know what to say. Defend herself and say that she had infact had a few admirers this year, or snap some witty comment at Devin that would make her shut up.
Remaining silent, Andromeda took a deep breath and shut her eyes, taking a baby step closer to the corridor. Her hand shot out twords one of the oak doors, grasping it tensely as if trying to restrain herself from doing something stupid. Sure, a Slytherin she wouldn't mind hurting, (Celestia for example) but not a fellow Ravenclaw. Never one of her own.

Sirius' jaw became slack and, immediately on doing so, dropped. Unbelievable!
Having strained a little to hear Devin's words, the boy had fallen silent, content to play act - but as soon as her insult came into play, he became indignant. "Hey!" He cried, lunging once more for Andy's elbow, whilst glaring at Devin, "That was uncalled for. Even if she was teasing me... us... there was no need to go that far! Not where a member of my family's concerned. A nice member of my family, anyway."
Shaking his head, the boy's concerned face turned to his cousin. "Don't listen to her. She didn't mean it."

Ooc// Aww, poor Andy! -pats her on the head-
BiC// Andromeda gently pulled away from Sirius' grip, giving him a faint smile as he called her nice. "Oh, it doesn't matter." She replied avoiding eyecontact with either of the third year students, her face beginning to assume it's usual calm and almost expressionless look as well as her tone. "Of course she was joking." Andy added looking twords the far wall, although her voice didn't sound too confident.
"I should probably get back to the tow--" Andromeda finally shot a glance at Sirius, aware that she was about to casually tell him where the Ravenclaw dorms were. Although he most likely already knew the location without her help. "I mean... I need to add another foot to my potions essay." She recovered quickly. "...and finnish my charms homework aswell as study for a transfiguration exam and--" Andromeda continued listing all of the assignments she had to finnish for tomorrow as well as some upcoming exams that had been announced in advance, just to make herself sound even more busy. Hey, she was talking to two third years. They wouldn't know her schedule. "...and then I have to re-write my notes in History of Magic so I have an extra copy, and finally read the next nine chapters of my Encyclopædia of Toadstools copy for Herbology." Andy finnished, almost positive that she had made her point that she had a hell of a pile of work to do waiting for her in the common room.
"So I'll just get started on all that if you'll excuse me." Andromeda said politely, slightly tipping her head in adequate.

For the first few seconds, Sirius listened to his cousin, nodded in all the right places and even bestowed her with an understanding smile.
But as the list of homework increased, the boy slowly began to tune out. Only when Andromeda had finished did he snap back into reality. "Alright!" he squealed, holding his hands up, palms facing Andromeda, "I get it! Lots of work. Right. So go do it. Just as long as you're ok. You are ok, right?" His ords were gabbled - Sirius was simply detrmined to have his say before his cousin left. "Tell me if you're not."

Andromeda smiled at Sirius, reaching out to pat him on the head.
"What an understanding little boy you are, and of course I'm fine. When I'm not, I start picking fights with Slytherins or write very nasty and depressing things in my journal. You can usually tell the difference." Andy grinned, moving her hand back to her side.
"So now, I really have to go, see you." And with that Andromeda (finally) strode out of the library and into the corridor.

//Woah... I just realized how mean Devin has been to people lately! I MUST PUNISH HER! MUAHAHAHAHA! I mean -cough cough- ;D//
Devin stood in silence, mouth gaping open. "I- I have no idea what made me say that." she said to herself quietly shaking her head and looking at the ground. She looked up at Sirius, her eyes filled with concern. "How could I- ? And - and she's my friend." Devin almost couldn't believe that the words spoken here were hers.
"Sirius, I've been snapping at everyone lately. I'm not sure why." she sighed and looked at her feet again. Why /am/ I snapping at everyone anyway? What did Andy do to me? "I have to fix this." she said almost to herself.
The girl then ran from the library and began began her way down the corridor to catch up with Andy, but tripped awkwardly over her robes and landed flat on her face. "Ow...." came a small voice from the marble floor underneath the heap. Quickly regaining herself, she took off down the hall to the Ravenclaw Tower.
//Punishment enough? I THINK NOT! Devin: -whimpers in fear- Would Andy care to meet Devin in the Ravenclaw Tower?//

And so Sirius Black was left alone in the library, dark eyes puzzled, his arms crossed over his lanky frame.
Rubbing his forehead, he began to make his way from the library, dragging his feet as he went. Andromeda wasn't acting herself lately...
The young teen sighed, dismissed his contemplations from his mind, and forced a mischevious grin onto his face. He couldn't disappoint his public. Having taken a deep breath, he stepped out into the corridoor, advoiding all eye contact with Madame Pince.
He had only to stride a few metres down the corridoor before his feeling of lonliness became absent. As expected, a crew of giggling girls were following him.
