Summary: This story is about Sirius and Arabella. There will be also parts with Lily and James. R/R
Love Is No Game
Lily and Bella are the best of friends. Each of them is around 15 years old. Lily has auburn hair past her lower back, and Bella has hair the color of dirt (or at least in her opinion)
brown hair.
Transfiguration class was at the start of their day. While they were rushing through the Great Hall to make class on time they ran into James and Sirius literally. With a crash to the floor, everyone's book bags went flying.
"Sorry about that." Exclaimed James jumping up to help up the two fine young ladies.
"Yeah, sorry we're kinda' in a hurry up to transfiguration class." Agreed Sirius.
"That's okay, we're heading up there ourselves too." Lily and Bella explained.
On their way up they talked about many things, like how Professor McGonagall had spied on them from around a corner transfigured as a tabby cat one day in Hogsmeade and overheard them talking about how they had almost finished their animagus potion.
"Good thing we never said animagus potion out loud in public without changing the name so no one would know about us performing it." Exclaimed James as they reached the doorway to transfiguration class. Lily, Sirius, and Bella all shook their heads in agreement.
"Nice of you to join us!" Exclaimed Professor McGonagall as they made their way to their seats in the back. This is also where Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew sat.
"Nice way to be late!" Joked Remus as Sirius and James sat down.
"Shut up, Moony you oversized troll!" Sirius muttered under his breath.
Remus reached over and punched him jokingly on the arm. All throughout the lesson they found themselves almost snoozing off, but Professor McGonagall wouldn't let them.
Later that day James and Sirius found themselves alone in the Gryffindor common room when they demised a little sort of a game between the two of them.
"You know Bella is really cute." James said slyly over to Sirius.
"How about we make a little wager, whoever gets Bella to go out with them first gets twenty galleons. And, the loser has to where make up to potions class."
"Alright then, you've got yourself a bet. Oh and, I think pearly pink would look rather smashingly on you!" Sirius said with a devilish look in his eye.
Meanwhile, Lily and Bella were walking to Gryffindor Tower. On their way they stopped to talk to Remus who was also heading to the common room.
"Hey Remus" said Bella casually.
"Hey" was his reply.
They talked a bit about different things until they got to the common room. They entered the common room and were immediately bombarded by Sirius and James.
"Hey Bella!" they said in unison, both sounding excited about something.
"Okay, you just saw me ten minutes ago, what are you so excited about?" she asked.
"Nothing, we are just happy someone as beautiful as you have come in!" exclaimed Sirius.
Bella and Lily looked at them uncertainly, but thought nothing of it. They walked pass the two boys and headed for their dorm.
"What do you think that was all about?" asked Lily.
"I don't know, but I do know that they are definitely up to something, and I'm thinking it might have something to do with me." She said as if were the most horrible thing on earth.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they don't do anything to stupid, okay" Lily said reassuringly. They sat on their beds and started sharing the latest gossip, when there was a knock on the door.
'I wonder who that is' thought Lily. She got off her bed and went to the door.
"James, what are you doing here?" asked a confused Lily.
'WOW! I never realized how beautiful she is, her soft auburn hair, those sparkling emerald green eyes, the way she looks when she's confused-wait what am I thinking, I'm here for Bella, not Lily.' James thought.
"Can I talk to Bella please?" he asked.
"Sure, Bella" she called.
"Yeah what's up?" she asked as Lily went to sit on her bed.
"Well………..Will you go out with me?" he asked nervously.
"…………."
