Keeosu: Woot! Here it is, I couldn't hold it in any longer! I love Usagi and I love Snape, so I figured, "hey, why not put them together?"

It's Simply Overwhelming

"Sirius Reginald Black, I swear if you don't get down here in the next two minutes I'm Flooing without you!" Serenity cried angrily up the stairs. She stomped her foot loudly. "I'm not about to miss the train because you were too lazy to get up on time!"

"And if you don't stop shouting, I'll be flooing without you," Narcissa commented snootily, rubbing the bridge of her sharp, aristocratic nose. A large, black suitcase suddenly crashed down the stairs and landed at her feet, causing a high shriek to fall from the girl's lips.

"Why don't you stop acting so whiny Miss Oh-So-Mighty-Third-Year?" Sirius barked, grinning as he slid down the banister. "It's our first year at Hogwarts, so you have to be nice to us!"

"I don't have to be nice to you at all!" Narcissa bristled, stomping her boot on the floor.

"Cissi, Siri, calm down!" The eleven-year-old blonde stepped in between the two. Narcissa and Sirius glared heavily at each other. Sirius backed down first. He growled in annoyance, kicking at his luggage. Serenity's shoulders dropped in relief and she reached over to envelope her twin in a hug. "Thank you, Siri," she murmured. Sirius snorted.

"Yah, whatever," her twin returned breezily, waving her off. Sirius brightened, grabbing her arm and picking up the floo powder. "C'mon Reni! We need to get going!"

"Yes!" Serenity cheered, practically throwing her trunk into the fireplace and grabbing the floo powder. "King's Cross Station!"

"I don't see why we can't use a portkey like the Malfoys do," Narcissa muttered sullenly, crossing her arms over her chest. "Flooing is so beneath us."

"Oh wah," Sirius mumbled, following after his sister. He turned back to her and with a smirk, said, "You can always not go this year and not see Lucius. King's Cross Station!"

One thing Sirius never regretted was seeing the slack-jawed appearance of his older cousin.

Serenity giggled and used her pristine handkerchief to wipe the soot from her face. She turned around to see Sirius stumbling out of the fireplace. Peeking around the corner, she nodded to her twin brother and – without bothering to wait for Narcissa – discreetly stepped out of the small Magical Nook and into the King's Cross Station Central.

"Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, Reni, don't forget," Sirius reminded, pushing his trunk along. Dimly, the two heard a small explosion in the background, followed by explicit mutterings from none other than Narcissa Black. The twins shared a smirk and sprinted away before she could see them.

"Gangway – Ack!" Serenity ran into someone at full speed, causing both trunks to collide and crash against the floor. Serenity sat up with a rush and began to apologize profusely. "Oh Goddess, I'm so sorry!"

"It's…quite alright," a pale boy said with a grimace. He readjusted his glasses on his face. "Are you two heading for…?"

"Hogwarts on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters?" Serenity asked. Sirius elbowed her. "Ow! What Siri?"

"Stupid!" Sirius hissed. "He might be a muggle!"

"I'm not a muggle!" he defended, straightening up. "I'm just making sure I got the platform right!" He blushed, sliding his glasses a little further up his nose. "But my parents had to portkey away at the last moment, and I just can't remember how I'm supposed to get in!"

"You just walk through!" Serenity piped up, tossing a silvery strand of hair into place. "Duh."

"Don't talk to common folk, Serenity," Narcissa sniffed, suddenly appearing at her side. "One might think you're actually socializing with a muggle lover such as him."

"Watch your mouth, Malfoy-Drooler!" Serenity snapped, kicking her cousin's luggage. It flew back quite a ways and Narcissa ran after it, scrambling to catch it before it fell. She turned back to the boy with a sunny smile. "Please excuse my snotty cousin. She has no manners for someone who wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth…and their name engraved upon it." She sent a glare towards Narcissa. "Bloody pain, that's what she is."

"Heh. It's fine," he replied, grinning uneasily. She beamed at him.

"I'm Serenity!" she exclaimed, holding out her hand. He took it instantly and shook hands firmly.

"I'm James," he returned, flashing his teeth.

"And I'm Sirius, but go ahead and ignore me!" Sirius pouted and Serenity laughed, pointing towards the brick wall. Looking around, they all filed in a neat line and rushed in, one by one.

"Sorry, coming through!" Serenity squeezed her way through a group of Slytherins and, much to her chagrin, saw Lucius Malfoy looming in the center of them, his smirk in place. "Malfoy," she greeted courteously.

"Ah, little Serenity," he cooed, his words dripping with false honey. "My, my, you've grown."

"You saw me last summer," she said a little bitingly. He smirked, setting his arm across her shoulders as if they were old chums.

"If I might have a word with you…?"

"You can shove your 'word' up your ar—" Serenity cut off with a yelp as Lucius yanked her into his empty car.

"I invited you to our manor to celebrate yours and Sirius's entry into Hogwarts," Lucius said. "Why didn't you come?"

"Puh-lease," she said, her snotty Black genes kicking in. "Fancy parties just aren't my thing," she finished airily. She started to leave, saying, "Now if you'll excuse me—"

Malfoy cut her off again abruptly by grabbing her upper arms and crushing his mouth against hers. After a moment of struggling, she finally managed to knee him in the groin and recoiled away from him, spitting.

"You sick little wanker!" Her voice was shrill from shock. "I'm your second cousin, you oily haired bastard!"

"We have to extend our pureblood family somehow, Serenity," Lucius returned coolly, wiping off his mouth. He grinned. "You're a fighter. I like that. Narcissa is far too docile for my tastes." His hand hovered above the doorknob. "And we're only second cousins by marriage," he smirked before leaving in one giant swoop.

Serenity collapsed onto the floor, tears brimming at her eyes.

This was so not away to spend your first train-ride to Hogwarts.

Keeosu: Wow! (n.n) Totally tell me what you think, all of you! Ja ne!

Molto Amore, Keeosu
