'Guys, get your picture in S.W.W.,' read the ad at the corner of the page. But Sirius did not notice; just sighed, and turned to the next page of Sexy Wizards for Wizards, a magazine that was usually read by those who were a little queer. That excluded Padfoot, of course.

'Hey Padfoot, what've you got there?' asked Wormtail from a beanbag in the corner of the common room.

'Umm… N-nothing… Yes, nothing!' Sirius replied feebly. 'Look, I'm getting tired. See you.'

Padfoot hurried to the dorms, while Moony whispered, 'it's not at all like Padfoot to be so secretive. Something must be up.'

That night, all Padfoot could think of was his small stash of money. His parents were going on a round the world cruise soon, so he was not receiving any money. And he needed some to get Eleesa a present. His thoughts flickered back to the ad. No, it's not that necessary. I don't want a photo of me naked in S.W.W. But then, do I have a choice? What if somebody reads it? Well… I guess it can't do much harm. Fine, Mr. Brain! I'll get my picture in there tomorrow! You got yourself a deal! And with that thought, Padfoot fell asleep.

Next morning, Sirius awoke to the sound of Peter's snoring. Wormtail was a tubby kid, and he had never quite been as close to him as Prongs or Moony. He hadn't seen Prongs lately, as he was always out with Lily Evans. I know they should be together, but 24/7? Uggh…

Looking at the clock, he released that it was time for Transfiguration, and he was late.

Finally appearing at Transfiguration, he found the room in silence.

'…and so, the Liviatus Charm can be useful in providing water in the desert… Oh, Mr Black, late are we?' asked McGonagall. She had been appointed at the beginning of the year, after Dumbledore had been appointed as Headmaster.

'Yes, I am sorry Minnie. And have you got a new haircut? It makes you look so much younger,' Sirius replied with that charm that had all the girls drooling.

'It is a new haircut, thankyou. Sit down and open your textbook to page 117.' And so, the talented Mr Sirius Black managed to avoid house points from Gryffindor.

A little way into the lesson, Sirius was passed a note from behind him. Back down the aisle, Prongs was smiling. He read the note and grinned.

Padfoot. Malfoy is screaming with rage that you got off. Nice work there. Might try it on Green. Green was the Herbology teacher. Going to Hogsmeade tonight with Lily. She doesn't approve of it, but that's okay. I'm gonna need the map.

Thanks for reading! Know it was short, but I hadn't planned it, so I'm doing it step-by-step. Next chapter, Sirius goes to the S.W.W headquarters, and James' date.
