"God Lily, you need to lighten up, you're always so uptight. All you ever do is study. I've never seen you flirt with a guy, do you even know how?"

The other girls in the compartment cracked up at Jenna's teasing remark, but Lily Evans was unamused. She was on the Hogwarts train, heading to her final year at school, in a carriage full of her friends, and they were all laughing at her. She resisted the urge to blush and chose instead to glare at the girl sitting across from her. Jenna Andrews was everything most girls wanted to be: smart, popular, and of course, gorgeous as hell. She and Lily had been friends since their 3rd year, but that didn't stop Lily from being jealous.

Jenna smirked when she saw her angry look, knowing she was pushing her buttons just right. "I was just wondering, ya know. I mean, we've never had any proof that you even know how to flirt."

"Of course I know how to flirt," Lily replied defensively. "Just because I don't spend all my time obsessing over boys doesn't mean I'm uptight."

"Yeah, but when's the last time you actually had a boyfriend?" questioned Katie McClain, a petite Irish blonde that was a year younger.

Lily frowned slightly, trying to remember. "Last summer, I guess, when I went out with Percy Williams."

Jenna grinned. "First of all, that was two summers ago Lily. And second, you and Percy went on a grand total of two dates, and one of them was with his parents. We're talking about a real boyfriend, a serious relationship. When's the last time you had one of those?"

Lily looked away, knowing Jenna was right. She'd never had a relationship, let alone a serious one. She had always been too busy with her schoolwork to bother with dating. But maybe her friends were right. Maybe it was time for her to start acting like a normal teenager, complete with raging hormones.

She glanced up at Jenna, who was watching her with a sly grin. "I've got a proposition for you Lil."

Lily eyed her friend warily, not sure if she could trust her. "I'm listening," she said cautiously.

"I bet you a hundred Galleons that you can't get yourself a boyfriend by the end of the month."

Lily laughed. "Easy! I'll have one by the end of the week."

"Not so fast," Jenna smiled. "There are conditions."

The other girls smirked, knowing Jenna was about to make the game a whole lot more interesting.

"First of all, you're not allowed to tell him about the bet. You're not gonna get any pity boyfriends that just wanna help you out. And you can't bribe him into dating you either."

"Like I would ever do that!" Lily exclaimed in an offended voice.

Jenna's smile broadened. "Let me finish," she commanded. She paused to glance at the other girls, as if to gather their support, and then continued. "Secondly, you can't use any magic. No love spells or potions. You have to play fair."

Lily nodded her consent.

"Thirdly, it has to be a serious relationship. He has to be in love with you, or at least pretty damn close. You can't just hook up with him. He has to actually ask you to be his girlfriend."

Lily rolled her eyes. "This is getting ridiculous. Why don't you just write me a bloody manual and be done with it?"

Jenna smiled indulgently. "I'm almost finished. The final rule is that it can't just be any boy. You have to win the heart of the sexiest, coolest, and most popular guy in the entire school."

Lily's eyes widened. She can't mean who I think she means…

Jenna grinned as if she could read her mind. "That's right. You have to win Sirius Black."

ok, now u gotta review and tell me wat u think! love ya:)
