disclaimer: I wish I owned this. I would have money. I like money. I don't know where this idea came from--but it wont go away. italics are flashbacks.. if there are any glaring typos my apologies. I usually check regularly to weed them out.
" There is no way you can get her to fall for your.. . charms."
"Wanna bet?
That was the reason why I am here. Hiding in- well here. I don't know exactly where this "here" is but my current location of my hiding-hiding from my friend so he can't see the stupid thing I got myself into now.
Okay maybe I should start off more of an explanation. This girl, too good for my time of day type. You know, blonde, too thin and a very nice. . .anyway. She, Mona Doyle, was who I was in lust with for the week.
I was just told it was impossible. You do not tell me, I, Sirius Black that I cannot have something or in the case, someone. So I stared down my counterpart Lilly Evans.
Ooh was I going to prove her wrong. She stared back at me trying to be menacing.
"A bet?" She raised her right brow.
"Yes. A bet. You remember who those are don't you?" I gave her my best grin.
"I am aware of what those are. Alright. We have a bet. You can't land her in, " she paused, thinking I supposed, " two weeks you have to do something. I don't know what yet. But I'll come up with something.
"I may have to do something? Oh I am shaking in my robes!"
Lilly shook her head
"I am sure I can get help from your two wonderful friends Remus and James. I bet they would love coming up with some stunt to embarrass you. Didn't you just pull a prank on them last week? Huh." She turned her head to the side.
Oh shit. They still had the dye and feathers. Note-continue to avoid them at lunch and dinner.
"Leave them out of this and we have a deal. You make me do some stunt and if I can't land her within the time frame you have to do something in return."
"Deal."
We shook on it That was it. After that we parted ways. I came up with my game plan. I needed to get a girl to fall hopelessly in love with me in two weeks. Couldn't be so bad right? I mean I am one of the most handsome guys here.
I just wasn't prepared for the insanity that was Mona Doyle. I caught up with her after potions, which apparently we had together. I should probably pay more attention in class.
"Hey." Not the most romantic start but I did have a plan to get there.
"Do I know you?" Mona stared at me. Her beautiful green eyes bored into me. It was almost painful.
"Maybe. That depends-"
"Sirius I need help with my charms homework! You're good at and the professor is glaring at me and Remus is mad at me 'cause I spilled my ink on his paper and we lost fifty points and James wont talk to me because he is still pissed at you and I don't know what to do!"
That stupid little worm..
"Um I see you're busy. Bye" With that my Mona left me.
"What do you need help with." I asked sighing. I really shouldn't have to deal with such inane problems. I have a bet to win.
"Everything!" Peter squeaked.
"Wormtail buddy, you should start taking these things called notes, that way we don't have to teach you all the time. Come on then."
We started making our way to our common room when I noticed the approaching enemy.
"What is it?" Peter was quivering. Why was he quivering? Oh right. I was nervous.
"You know. I am going to have to meet up with you later." I didn't hear his reply back as I ran in the opposite end of the hall.
Last week I had the best idea of a prank ever. I was bored and my two victims IE: Best mate and lesser best mate. It was perfect.
It also ruined their robes, hair, skin and they looked like giant rainbow owls. I thought it was funny. Least I kept my sense of humor.
How was I supposed to know Remus and James BOTH had girlfriends? And dates THAT night? Really now. Totally not my fault.
The three of us haven't been on the best terms if you will. Basically I have been avoiding them ever since. I shall continue to do so until it all blows over.
The broom closet or whatever the hell it is called was like a second home.
I closed my eyes and rested against-I hope that was a broom.
"This a part of your plan, Black? Get the girl by hiding in the janitors closet? I am impressed. Quitting now?" Lilly leaned against the door frame.
"Me quit? Never! I am just trying to cool down you know? Give you a chance."
She smiled.
"A chance? All you have to do is fail. I don't have to do anything but watch."
How smug she was. I can see why Jamesy liked her so much.
"Trust me, Evans. I have a plan.. I also just so happen to have decided what I want you to do when I win."
Which was a total lie. Note-come up with stunt for her to do. Possibly make out with Mona.
Lilly's eyes sparkled
"Me too. I can't wait to see what happens. Have fun with the broom." She closed the door.
I really needed a plan. I needed priories. I needed James and Remus to tutor Peter so I could go off and get that damn Mona and win.
First I needed them to stop being mad. That was going to be fun.
