Friday: Gryffindor right after lunch
Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter sat together - as usual - at the Gryffindor table for a hurried, silent lunch before the next class.
"C'mon," Remus urged impatiently. "We need to get to the library before the next class starts, really, just for a minute."
Sirius mumbled something thickly, through his mouthful of potato, grabbed a roll and stood.
"Right, lessgo," he said, and swallowed.
Remus led the way out of the hall, followed by James and Peter and finally Sirius. Sirius was eyeing the Ravenclaw table, still smoldering angrily, when he walked into the wall.
Only it wasn't a wall.

Re: Friday: Gryffindor right after lunch
There was a flutter of pages and a :thud:. A pair of large, cow-like eyes set in a mottled, greyish face blinked down at Sirius, sprawled ungracefully on the floor, then slowly turned to the . "Black bump Gertrude. Ohhh! - " is sounded like some large reptilian herbivore's call - "Gertrude make Black fall!" Two large gorilla arms, also greyish and mottled, reached around Sirius and righted him.
"Er, sorry Gertrude," Sirius brushed himself off, not even bothering to look Gertrude in the eye - she was at least 2 heads taller than him.
The cow-like eyes gazed adoringly down on Sirius' dark head. Sirius heard a low, awestruck voice from somewhere atop the form he'd crashed into, "Handsome Black talk to Gertrude...? Handsome, clever Black say sorry...?"

Sirius tried to think of the best way to get around the trollish lump without breaking an arm.
"Er...yeah," he said. "See you round?"
Looking hopefully up at Gertrude Turpiculus' mottled face he was dismayed to see the cow eyes fixed raptly on his face. Oh, dear.
"Black be seeing Gertrude around?"
Could the girl only talk in questions? Sirius sighed. "Sure, Gertrude."
He tried to slip around her and out the door but was further dismayed to find himself caught up in a large bearlike hug that nearly knocked the wind out of him.
"OOF! GERTRUDE, WATCH OUT!" Although it was intended as a yell, it came out a squeak.

"Gertrude so happy! Little handsome Black want to talk to her MORE!" Another squeeze which threatened to pop Sirius' eyeballs out of his head, and Gertrude set him back down. She blinked girlishly (if a female who was quarter troll could be girlish) and blushed, which turned her greyish skin a sickly orange. "See you, little handsome Black. You will talk to Gertrude later," she said, and lumbered off, with an extra spring in her step. "Oh!" again, sounding like a brontosaurus, she turned around quickly, swinging her thick arms around and nearly sending several students flying across the room. "Gertrude forgot book. Book got hard words, but Gertrude need." She smiled, exposing yellow and slightly sharp teeth. "Black give Gertrude book?"

Sirius shoved the book Gertrude had dropped into the latter's hands and fled back to the safety of his friends.
"Y'know," he murmured as he rejoined them, "Ice-woman Martin is starting to look positively inviting."
