hapter one- Boredom bears an idea.
*********************************************************************
'I have an idea, Moony,' Sirius whispered in Remus's ear as he leaned across his armchair in the common room. He motioned across the room at a 16 year old James who was watching Lily Evans doing her homework with obvious yearning.
'Do you want me to help me with your Transfiguration?' he offered quickly as he observed her chewing the end of her pencil thoughtfully, her brow creased.
Lily sent him a scowl and replied scathingly, 'I think I can just about manage, thanks Potter.'
'You're so pretty when you're angry. Go out with me, Evans?'
She ignored him and started again trying to figure the hard homework the young yet strict professor had set earlier that day.
Sirius gave Remus a look. 'Don't tell me this whole pining for Lily thing James has been carrying on hasn't been getting kind of repetitive?'
Remus started to object in protest for his friend, 'It's sweet…' He faltered and nodded with a wry smile. 'It is getting quite old…what was your idea? And be mindful, I do remember that every single one of your idea's gets us in trouble in some way!'
Sirius put on a look of complete innocence and throwing his hands to his chest, 'ME? No…couldn't be! But Moony- this idea is fantastic. Pure genius!'
When Remus threw him a look of utter disbelieving, he hurriedly pushed the book that he had been reading the moment before and pointed out a spell.
Remus started to read the smaller script down next to the list of ingredients.
Tired of being unnoticed by the apple of your eye?
Bored of having her reject your sincere proclamations of love?
Well look no further!
By following the easy step by step guidelines on this page, you can compost your very own irresistibility Potion for that girl you've always had your eye on.
Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius, whose own eyes sparkled in anticipation.
'And I thought you were studying! Where on earth did you find this book anyway?' he asked incredulously.
'Oh it fell out of Peter's bag last night and thought I would check it over. He wouldn't be able to make any of these potions without our help- they're much more difficult than the book makes out.'
Remus scanned down the list of required ingredients: three petals from a single passion flower…a dragon's heartstring…a hair from the head of the woman who you want the potion to work upon…
'How are we going to get all of these from, Padfoot?
'Well that last one is easy,' Sirius answered and strolled nonchalantly to where Lily was leaning over her work. She didn't seem to have noticed and he carefully plucked one of her fiery red hairs from her head and ran back to his seat next to Remus.
Lily had jumped up at the painful twinge on her head and glared accusingly round at all the Gryffindor's in nearest proximity to her.
This of course being Remus, Sirius and James.
'Potter!' she shrieked. 'Why can't you just leave me alone you idiotic flobberworm?'
With this said she stormed out of the common room and off up into her dormitory.
James was left open mouthed and rounded on Sirius with a look of exhaustion.
'You do know that I can disgust her and make her hate me all by myself. Though I appreciate the help.' He added and sighed. Her began to stare off out of the window again clearly day-dreaming about Lily again.
'Ok Moony, you are helping me whether you want to or not- I cannot sanely put up with this 'lover's-sighing' business ANY LONGER!' Sirius whispered and grabbed Remus's arm, pulling him into a standing position, the book tucked under his other arm.
As the two marauders made their way to the portrait hole, James looked up absently and asked, 'Where you going?'
'We're going to raid the potion's cupboard to make an irresistibility potion for you,' Sirius announced quickly and pulled Remus out of the portrait hole with him.
'Mmmm,' said James, already reassumed his day dreaming about Lily and not in the slightest paying any attention to Sirius's reply. 'Have fun.'
