It was the poking that woke him up. Sirius slowly blinked his eyes, trying to get his bearings straight. Staring at him, with her wide green eyes, was four-year-old Maria Potter.
“Mm. Maria? Wha-?” He trailed off as she sniffled. Panicked, he sat up and asked, “Princess, what’s wrong!”
“Mummy and Daddy are fighting and yelling and it scareded me.” She sniffed again, then rubbed one eye with a pudgy fist and asked, “Can I stay with you?” Sirius looked unsure, but then Maria continued, “I always climb into bed with Mummy and Daddy when I’m scared…but they’re fighting and I can’t.”
Sirius gave her a sad look and reassured, “Of course, you can stay with me darling. But you shouldn’t be scared…your Daddy probably just pulled a prank and Mummy found out and got mad, okay? So, come on, cheer up Ms. Sniffles.”
The four-year-old girl frowned and sadly replied, “It wasn’t a prank fight. Daddy was really mad at Mummy. And Moony didn’t even say hi to me when he left.”
Startled, Sirius owlishly blinked at the child, “Moony? Moony was here?”
“Yeah. But he left and-” Maria broke off with a wide yawn.
Pushing his suspicions away, Sirius smiled gently at her, “You need to go to sleep darling. If you keep yawning like that, a giant bug could fly into your mouth!”
“Eww Siri, that’s yuckyyyy!” She whined as he laughed softly.
“Alright, alright, I won’t talk about the yucky bugs anymore. Now sleep!” Sirius scooted over and gently tucked her in next to him.
Sleepily, Maria reached her arms out for a hug and asked, “You forgot my goodnight kiss. Daddy always gives me a goodnight kiss when he tucks me in.”
Sirius laughed, but obediently leaned over and brushed his lips across her forehead, “Goodnight little princess, sweet dreams.”
“G’night Siri.”

“You have to do something James!” Terrence Higgs pleaded with his surrogate sister’s father.
Adrian Pucey chimed in with his agreement, “Yes, please, James. He’s quite possibly the most boring guy alive!”
“She can’t date him! Honestly, if Binns was alive…and could get a girl pregnant…he would be Binns’ kid! That’s how boring he is.”
Marcus walked in and joined the group slouched around the kitchen table. “What are we talking about?”
“We were telling Mr. P about Boring McBoring and how he wants to date Maria,” Bole glumly explained.
Marcus frowned and heatedly replied, “Oh. Yeah. Him. Ugh, I swear out of all her snogging buddies, he’s the worst! So boooooring…”
“Snogging Buddies?” James’ horrified and stunned tone of voice caused a sudden silence.
“Uh oh.”
“Oops.”
“Nice one, Flint.”
“Um, well actually Mr. Potter…”
“My daughter – my little, innocent, baby girl…has a-a SNOGGING BUDDY?” James outraged yell echoed through the house, drawing Sirius, Remus, Peter, and Lily to the family room from various other areas.
They exchanged speculative glances as Maria’s teammates struggled to explain, “Uh, no sir. She has multiple snogging buddies.”
Seeing James’ face turn purple with rage, Terrence hastened to reassure the angry father, “She doesn’t want him to be just a snogging partner though; Maria actually wants to date this guy.”
Bole chose this moment to chime in with his own opinion, “It’s weird because he’s so boring plus she usually only likes Quidditch players. I never thought her first real date would be with the most boring guy on the planet!”

Sirius warily looked down at the adorable, grinning five-year old girl, then asked, “What do you want and how much trouble am I going to end up in if I help you get it?”
Pouting, Maria innocently replied, “Ummmm. You aren’t gonna get into trouble, Siri. I just wanted to introduce you to Spot. Annnnd, I kinda needed your help feeding her.”
Sighing, Sirius resignedly questioned, “Who or What is Spot?”
“Spot’s my friend. She’s really nice! Do you want to meet her?” Excitedly, Maria responded to her godfather’s question.
“Sure. Why not? Lily's probably going to yell at me either way.” Maria cheered, grabbed Sirius’ hand, and dragged him to the Quidditch Pitch behind Potter Manor.
Innocently beaming, she asked him, “Isn’t Spot the coolest?”
“Gah-duh…Wha-?” Stunned speechless, Sirius merely gazed up at the massive Hungarian Horntail - sitting in the middle of the Potter family’s Quidditch Pitch - in complete disbelief. All he could think to say was, “James is going to be mad if he can’t play Quidditch.”

“Oh Merlin. Please make it stop!” Lily Potter rocked her daughter in a vain attempt to stop the high-pitched wailing, her exasperated husband sat slumped nearby, practically in tears.
“Lily, please, I beg you. Make it stop! Do something. Anything!”
”Why don’t you do something! I’ve been trying for the past half hour! You’re the one that woke her up!” Lily paused to glare at James. “Do you remember what you said? ‘Aww Lily, I’m bored! And, look at her all cute and asleep! Don’t worry, I’ll just wake her up for a little bit. She loves to play with me…I’ll put her back to sleep in a little while!’ I told you not to wake her up! I TOLD YOU!”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were right, I was wrong. Who cares?! Turn her off. How can someone so little make that much noise? It shouldn’t even be possible! Can’t you just…change her? Feed her! I don’t know…make funny noises…do a dance. SOMETHING!”
Lily let out an exasperated growl, and then quietly bit out, “She needs to sleep. She’s CRANKY because YOU woke her up. Don’t you know ANYTHING, James? YOU DO NOT WAKE A SLEEPING BABY UP! I’m trying to get her to go back to sleep but she’s too damn cranky now!”
“Yeah, well, can’t you just stick your nipple in her mouth anyways? Maybe that’ll muffle the noise?”
“Nipples? James! What’s wrong with you? You can’t discuss things like that in front of children. Why are you trying to corrupt my poor, innocent, little goddaughter?”
Practically yelling in order to be heard over Maria’s crying, James looked up and asked Sirius, “Innocent, Padfoot? I think what you actually mean is little, evil, hell-devil spawn from the Netherworld. What are you doing here anyways? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”
”Got off early. And Peter dropped by to visit me. He was going to drop in to visit you guys, but he heard Maria screaming her head off and didn’t even bother to walk up the stairs.” Sirius smirked and rolled his eyes as both parents gave him pleading looks. “Oh, stop torturing the poor kid. Hand her over to her handsome, wonderful, perfect, amazing godfather, Uncle Padfoot.”
It was a mark of how exasperated Lily and James were that they didn’t even dispute Sirius’ praise of himself. Lily gratefully handed Maria over to Sirius, and then both James and Lily fled downstairs to escape the incessant screaming.
Sirius grinned at the tiny, bawling infant in his arms. Face scrunched up angrily, arms curled into fists, and feet flailing all over, she was not exactly the dictionary definition of cute, and yet, “You are so cute. Yes, you are. Oh, yes you are.” If anyone were to see Hogwarts’ most infamous playboy, they wouldn’t have believed their eyes… Sirius baby-talked and cooed at the infant, while he gently rocked and soothed her. “Such a cute, widdle baby. You’re my favowite widdle baby, aren’t you?” Smiling, he slowly sat down in the rocking chair, still cooing to the infant in his arms. “Aw, widdle Maria, are you sad? Don’t be sad. Uncle Padfoot will make it all better. Yes, he will. Don’t cry, widdle baby, it’s okay. Yes it is.” Yawning, he continued his litany of nonsensical phrases, “Shhhhh…That’s my little girl. There’s a good girl. That’s it. Shhh. It’s okay. Sleepy time, baby girl. Shh, it’s okay. Therrre you go. It’s okaaa-” Letting out a wide yawn, Sirius kept rocking as his voice slowly trailed off and his head slowly tilted forward. Within minutes, both godfather and goddaughter were fast asleep, and more importantly, quiet.
The door to the nursery very sloooowly creaked open and Lily and James poked their heads in. Awwed, Lily whispered to James, “Oh thank Merlin. He made her stop.” Then, she paused and turned to her husband, “Dammit. I just realized.”
“What?”
“Clearly, I married the wrong Marauder. I should so have married Sirius.”
“WHAT!”
“Shhh! Are you crazy? She just went back to sleep, what are you trying to wake her back up?”
”No, no, sorry.” Pouting, James walked into the nursery and stepped over to where Sirius and Maria were fast asleep on the rocking chair. “You know, she looks so peaceful and adorable…”
Lily smiled and linked arms with James, “Yeah, she does. They both do.”
Cheerfully grinning, both parents stared at the sleeping duo for a few moments, then, “Um. Lily?”
“Yes?”
”I’m bored. Can I wake them up to play? They can go back to sleep in a little while!”
“NO! James! What is wrong with you?!”
Sirius stirred and looked up, frowning, “Lily? Why’d you wake me up?”
Before Lily could respond, or rather, blame James, Maria stirred and slowly awoke. Horrified, Lily, James, and Sirius stared down at her, silently begging her to go back to sleep. She looked up, snuggled deeper into Sirius’ arms, and then closed her eyes. All three adults relaxed with sighs of relief. Just as Lily opened her mouth to, presumably, scold James. Maria opened her eyes again. She took one look at Lily and James leaning over her, screwed up her face – clearly displeased –, and began to wail.

002. Earth
Giggling, both father and daughter gently toppled to the ground after dismounting from their brooms.
Sighing, James stretched out and fisted his hands in the grass. He brought a hand to his chest and gently ran a hand through his daughter’s silky, black hair. Six-year-old Maria snuggled into his chest, breathing deeply. Eyes closed, bare toes digging into the earth, she curled her fingers in his shirt, and sleepily asked, “Daddy, where do babies come from?”
James continued running his hand through her hair, then processed the question and abruptly stopped, eyes snapping open to stare in horror at his little girl, half-asleep in his arms. “Uh. What?”
Yawning, she asked again, “Where do babies come from? I asked Mummy before but she told me to ask you.”
In a high-pitched voice, James asked, “She did?” Wide-eyed, he cleared his throat, and then continued, “Um. Babies. Welll…it’s a long story actually. Very complicated. You seem pretty tired sweetheart, how about I tell you later? Maybe, in oh, say twenty years?”
Maria frowned and turned over, eyes opening to sleepily glare at her father as she whined, “Nooo…pleaaaaaase Dadddddy!”
“Alright. Alright. Um. Babies. Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much, they…get married.” He swallowed hard and looked into the curious green eyes of his only child. “Right. So, they get married. And then, uh, eventually they decide they want a baby. So, they…go outside, and dig a big hole in the ground. Then, they go to…the Apothecary in Diagon Alley and buy…baby seeds.”
“Baby seeds?” Maria gave her father a suspicious look, a disbelieving expression plastered across her face.
James firmly nodded, “Yes, now don’t interrupt. Where was I, oh yes, baby seeds. So, the husband and wife buy the baby seeds and then they go back to their house and plant the baby seeds in the big hole in the ground that they dug earlier. Then, they fill the hole back up and every day for a few months they have to water it and take care of it. Eventually, the baby grows big enough that it’s not safe inside the ground anymore so the parents move the baby into the Mum where it grows until it’s time for it to be born.”
“They move the baby?”
”Yes.”
”How?”
“Um. Magic.”
“Really?”
“Really really.”
Maria gazed at her father, expecting him to start laughing, but when he didn’t she merely shrugged and said, “Oh. I thought you just had to have sex.”
“WHAT! How do you know what sex is?!”
“Sirius told me.”

Summary: "The best prank I ever pulled?" Note: Contains girl!Harry and alive Marauders!
Disclaimer: I don't own it. JKR does.
Highlight for Warnings: * Like pretty much everything I write, this has a girl!Harry & alive Marauders. Also, it's not betaed! Other than that...none.*
Beta: Not betaed (sorry!)
"The best prank I ever pulled? Hmm. Oh. I know. Well the best prank I ever pulled was actually a revenge prank."
"Revenge for what?"
"Remember how I dated Viktor Krum for a little while? Well, a few months after the Yule Ball we broke up. Officially, we decided we were better off as friends."
"And unofficially?"
"Unofficially, Sirius and Dad scared him off."
"Aw that's so cute."
"It really wasn't. They were so overprotective!"
"So, what was the prank?"
"I convinced Dad that Sirius had gotten me pregnant..."
"But you were fourteen then!"
"Yeah." Maria grinned wickedly.
“So, how did your dad react?”
Just as she was about to continue the story, James walked in and interrupted, "I set Sirius on fire.”
“WHAT?!”
Sirius pouted and explained, “We were outside when she said it…so James started throwing all these hexes at me. At first I was fending him off pretty well. Then, he actually managed to disarm me, so I was throwing sticks off of the ground at him, to distract him, while I tried to get my wand.”
Smirking, Maria broke in, “Then Dad got irritated with all the sticks, branches, and bits of earth being thrown at him and he conjured up this tornado thing to suck them all up and away. But Dad was so pissed off that he lost control of the magic…” She broke off laughing, unable to continue the story.
Sirius groaned as James smiled evilly, “Well, you know the lake next to the Pitch? Since Sirius was trying to avoid getting sucked up into the mad tornado/stick monster thing, he didn’t really pay attention to where he was. He fell in and was completely soaked through…”
“Okaaay…but the fire?”
Sighing, Sirius continued the story, as the rest who knew were too busy laughing. “At that point, Maria FINALLY decided to tell James it was a prank. He apologized…and then he tried to use a drying charm to dry me off. Unfortunately – for my poor, beautiful, luscious hair – he was still irritated, and the charm ended up being too strong.”
An awed gasp, “You mean…”
“Yeah. Sirius’ hair caught on fire…and then they drenched him in water to stop it, but it was too late. Sirius spent two months completely bald. It was hilarious.”
Through breathless laughter, Hermione asked, “Why not use a potion or charm?”
Sirius let out a horrified moan, but Parvati interrupted to explain, “Using a potion or charm is a quick-fix, in order to have really beautiful, luscious, healthy hair you have to grow it out naturally.”

8:07 pm - My Fic Links

Hi all! I was convinced by some friends to post the stories I had been writing... Sadly they haven't been beta'ed, so I didn't want to post in any of the LJ/IJ comms. :-/! Still, I went ahead and posted them all up on my fanfiction.net account under my username (desiqtie). They're all girl!Harry stories and Sirius is a main character in all of them as well.
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/990075/
- That's my Author Page on fanfiction.net. If you want to know about the stories I've explained them all pretty well on there. The stories have actually been up Nov/Dec but I just got around to posting on here...please go check them out!

8:06 pm - About My Stories...
|
Copied directly from my profile...
ABOUT MY STORIES:
Right now the main thing I'm working on as far as writing is my One Wish universe. It's supposed to be an AU where James and Lily had a daughter, Maria Jamie Potter, instead of a son. In addition, instead of Peter, the spy is someone else in the Order, so James and Lily end up surviving the attack. Maria is still the girl-who-lived but the attack happened in a very different way from the books. One Wish starts in January of Maria's seventh year. However, I am putting up drabbles and short stories, as well as embedding flash backs into the actual story that explain what has happened in Maria and everyone else's lives up to this point. If you have any questions please leave a review or PM me and I will be happy to explain!
Currently, I have three chapters up in OW, with the fourth being worked on right now. Almost all of the future plot and past history is worked out and outlined, so mainly I just have to actually connect the ideas, flesh out the chapters, and then edit. So, hopefully OW will be updated at least once every 2-3 weeks, possibly sooner depending on when and if I get time.
I am working on a short story that shows Maria's sorting, to help explain why people are not in the house you would expect them to be in. It's basically finished I really only have to do the editing and then I will post it.
Also, I have five drabbles/short stories ranging from 177 to 649 words that are set in the OW universe. I would recommend reading them all in this order (chronological):
1. One Wish, Chapters 1-3
2. One Wish: I'm Not Jealous!
3. One Wish: Lingerie
4. One Wish: Dropped
5. One Wish, Chapter 4 (coming soon!)
OW: Tattoo and OW: Piercing are set earlier in the time-line. One Wish: Strange Sortings (coming soon) is also set earlier in the time-line, but after Tattoo and Piercing. Eventually when I finish OW I do plan to go back and write about happened in the years before.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One thing that has been pointed out to me...Hermione in OW is getting bashed. I usually actually like Hermione. I think she's very intelligent and a strong character, at least up through Book 4. However, in OW I'm trying to show her from Maria's POV. And Maria is very biased against her. As the story goes on, the bias should fade a bit and it hopefully won't seem as if I'm bashing Hermione.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, Live To Be A Hundred is an AU of OW, looking at a world where Sibyll Trelawney didn't make it to the meeting and her prophecy wasn't heard. This basically was a rabid plotbunny that wouldn't leave me alone. So, the updates for this are going to be very infrequent and slow.
My Sirry Drabble, the one written for the Sirius100 Naughty challenge may eventually be tied into LTBAH. It's pretty unlikely that it will be tied into OW. A major difference between OW and LTBAH is that OW has a serious, romantic relationship between the two main characters while LTBAH will (hopefully) have a close, platonic relationship between those same two characters.
My newest little one shot is Perfidious. I have no idea where it came from; my muse just blindsided me with it. Heh, I couldn't sit still until I wrote it down. So, yeah. It's not part of anything, it's just a random story about...girl!Harry. (Because apparently that's the only type of story I can write lately).

9:14 pm - Sirry Drabbles: 1 & 2
|
I wrote this for Sirius100's Naughty challenge...it actually could tie into this series that I've been working on which stars a girl!Harry. Changed it slightly from the original drabblet which was about 100 words plus a few.
P.S. I don't own anything you recognize...that all belongs to the lucky J.K. Rowling and company.
Challenge: Naughty
( Read more... )
This follows the Naughty Drabble, I wrote this one for Sirius100's Jealousy challenge...it is set later on in the same universe the Naughty challenge response was from. Once again, I've changed it from the original so its a bit longer than the original 144 words...

11:52 pm - Hello all!
|
Soo, I'm Desiqtie...a looong, looong time ago I was on ffnet as SiriusLover and I actually had a fic or three. I have since moved on to simply reading. I have begun writing again but I don't think I really have the skills to write. I have a few drabbles that I wrote for Sirius100 on LJ that I posted. Speaking of LJ, I was actually a lurker on there for a long time before I ever got a journal. Even after I got one, I didn't really use it much to post. However, I am in lots of communities and I've been slooowly becoming more active in fandom. With all the weirdness over at LJ and so many communities shifting over to either IJ and/or GJ it makes sense for me to also shift. I am going to post my drabbles on both my IJ and GJ but really they aren't all that great. Plus, they aren't beta'ed, I need a Beta if anyone's got the time! Heh, really, I'm much happier reading everyone else's loooverly fiction! I have lots of fandoms which I love, including, Harry Potter (my fav!), PoTC, Sailor Moon, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, L&O:CI, L&O:SVU, and many, many other fandoms.
I absolutely adore Harry, he's without a doubt my favorite character, and if I ever do write a long fiction it will definitely be centered around him (or maybe her). :-D! I also love Sirius and James! If you take a look at my memories on LJ you can see that quite a few of them are either Harry/Sirius or Harry/James! Heh, I travel and move around a lot so I don't have a fixed location but I am 20, soon to be 21, so no worries as far as underage-ness! :-). Hmm, like any normal female, I ADORE chocolate. I am also quite grateful to the inventor of Coffee because w/o it I would not make it through my extremely hectic life! I used to play soccer in an amateur league and was considering going pro, but life got in the way. So, instead I'm planning a career with my second love - medicine! Currently, I am a college student - taking 15 credits, I work full-time at a doctor's office, and I also volunteer at both the local fire & rescue and the local hospital! So, basically I'm the average psycho pre-med student...haha.
I am (maybe) going to be f-locking my journal, even though I use it rarely for posting entries. I may end up using it more often later on when I get more comfortable with the whole concept of an online journal! Feel free to friend me, I will friend you back within a few days...provided you aren't a creepy stalker person (which I have had to deal with...hence my hesitation when it comes to online journals). Um, I can't really think of anything else to write about...but if you have questions feel free to leave a comment! :-D!
P.S. I'm on fanfiction.net as Desiqtie, as well, and I have a very large C2 full of completed, abandoned, and WIP fics which I love. They are all types of fandoms (although most are Harry Potter), pairings, and ratings so if anyone needs story recs I think you may want to look through it! Also, I use the same username (desiqtie) whenever I'm online (including the other online journals) so if you see someone with that sn on any site, chances are it's me!
