Title: The Infamous Sirius Black
Summary: MWPP EraWhen it comes to a challenge, the Marauders are on it, doing the impossible. Yet can Messer Black handle the fact that maybe not every girl in the school is dying to be with him even if his feelings are genuine, or can he and James pull it off.
Rated: T for Trouble +points to the Marauders+
Pairings: JamesxLily, maybe SiriusxOC if he can pull it off, possibly RemusxOC and even hints of Peterxrandom character that I threw in.
Warning: Their are OCs in this, but they are secondary and background characters, and not Mary Sues. +stabs Mary Sues that come near her+ This is also as cannon as I can possibly make it so be joyful of that. Also, I am nice to Peter since this is before he becomes a traitorious git, so I'm not bashing the poor pumpkin tart.
Author's Note: Hey everyone. It's been a while since I written anything... about two year. haha! Anywho, I was bored and in the Harry Potter mood for a while cause my friends and I are going to start an RP soon, but we have to wait for a bit. Soooo... I'm using my pent up energy to write something with our characters before I explode. It's just to entertain me and have fun. So enjoy the craziness of my writing.

Edit: I now have a second beta besides my first one, Chitsuki Masuki. My second beta is Jynx67 from She helped me edit the prologue so that it has a better flow to it and fix some other mistakes. So here is the newly editted Prologue. My betas and I are now working on Chapter One before I start writing Chapter two.
Prologue: Persuasion
This story is one of many involving the 'romances' of the infamous Sirius Black. Not only has he been known for his devious pranks and jokes that himself and his fellow Marauders would cause, but he was also known for his reputation with women. Some would call him a 'lady's man', with the charm and dark looks that run in 'The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black'. A regular charmer that could sway any girl in Hogwarts to be his for the day. A bad boy that appeals to the young ladies of the magical school. A-
"Player!"
"What?" Sirius laughed, smiling at the longed-haired brunette in front of him, who was very determined to burn a hole in his head with her ice blue eyes. It was apparent that the girl was indeed upset with the dark haired boy, not that he cared.
"Don't be such a bloody knob!" the fifth year Gryffindor girl barked, jabbing a finger hard against Sirius' chest. The boy just continued to watch her with mirth in his grey eyes, causing her to grow angrier then she already was. "You heard me. You're a player! An arsehole! A blinkered nitwit!"
"Why my dear Caleigh, you wound me with your words," Sirius joked, going into a grand display of clutching his vest covered chest as if he was truly wounded and in pain because of the fiery girl.
It was an amusing sight to those in the Gryffindor common room who were watching the show, including his friends. His jittery friend Peter Pettigrew was enjoying it the most, trying his hardest to not fall backwards in the chair from laughter. His watery blue eyes were held shut and his arms were wrapped around his plump belly, shaking with amusement at the scene.
"I'll hurt you more if you don't bugger off, Black!" Caleigh snapped, standing at her tallest, yet she still had to look up at the boy for she barely reached his shoulder.
Sirius' grey eyes watched her in amusement instead of matching her ice cold glare, his hands shoved in the pockets of his black uniform trousers.
"Padfoot." Remus Lupin, the sensible one of the group, called out to his friend from his seat by Peter and James, an obvious 'mind yourself' tone in his voice. He placed a fairly large Potions book on his lap to show that he was now paying close attention to the situation, his golden eyes focusing in on Sirius.
Sirius just waved his Prefect friend off. "Oh come off it, Caleigh," Sirius insisted. "It was just a question."
Caleigh huffed, a few strands of long brown hair flying off her face. "Just a question? Please!" She placed her hands on her hips in a firm manner. "You just asked me to help you seduce the only girl in this school that's smart enough not to fall for your tricks."
He nodded. "So?"
"She's my best friend!" Caleigh shouted out in anger, her ivory skin turning red.
Sirius shrugged. "And?"
"I would rather eat rat tails than help you get together with my best friend just so you can use her," she replied, crossing her arms in front of her robes.
"We could arrange that, you know," James Potter implied, adding his two cents to the conversation as he leaned forward in his chair. His hazel eyes sparkled with glee behind his glasses. "I believe Hagrid has a stash in his shed-"
"Oh sod off, Potter!" Caleigh cut the boy off, which just caused James to grin wider. She glared at the three Gryffindor boys in the corner.
Remus smiled, shaking his light brown head. Peter stiffened, thinking the girl might hex him if he moved. James just leaned back in his chair, playing with the ends of his tie.
Her head whipped back to glare at the fifth year boy in front of her, who just continued to smirk at her with delight. "If this is some kind of game, you better run."
The boys took in the threat, looking at each other as if talking to one another in their minds then back at the boiling brunette.
"Of course not."
"We would never do that."
"I think very highly of Parisi."
"We'd be mad to trick a Prefect."
Caleigh stared at the four Gryffindor boys, her eyebrows raised in a questioning approach, disbelief apparent on her face. Sirius gave a sigh and draped an arm over the girl's shoulder, causing her to stiffen in defense.
"Look, it's like this," he said, leading the girl closer to the group of trouble makers. "I like Parisi."
"Uh-huh," she added, rolling her eyes.
"But it's not like with all those other skirts. She's more than a fit bird to me," Sirius continued, waving his hand about as if he was clearing the air. "It's like James is with Evans."
Caleigh stared in boredom at the dark haired young man beside her, who was now flicking his locks away from his face. "So, you're obsessed with Parisi," she stated with a sarcastic tone in her voice.
"Hey, I'm not obsessed with Evans!" James stated, jumping out of his chair at the assault.
Fellow Gryffindors in the common room looked up at the sudden occurrence, but upon seeing it was the ringleader of the Marauders, turned back to what they were doing. Remus covered his mouth to hide his smile at the outburst his friend has just made.
"That's right, mate," Sirius agreed calmly. "He's not obsessed-"
"Bloody right," James added
"-he's in love," Sirius finished as if his friend didn't say anything, swinging his free arm up in the air as if love was his greatest passion. Peter gave a nod of his head in agreement, while Remus looked as if he was resisting the urge to smack his forehead at the over-dramatic display.
Caleigh stared at the two dark haired Marauders, unfazed by the performance. "I still say you're obsessed."
Remus shook his head, deciding it was now time to save his friends from complete failure. He brushed a few strands of light brown hair behind his ears and turned to look up at Caleigh from his seat. "Well, to be truly honest, James' feelings for Lily are genuine. He just has troubles showing it in a manner that is…"
"Mature? Believable? Respectable? Not idiotic?" Caleigh listed off, counting each suggestion on her fingers.
"Yes, that sums it up." Remus smiled at the girl, who beamed back.
James just ran his hand through his shiny black hair as if the conversation didn't disturb him.
"Well, Sirius has been the same since summer break about Diana Parisi."
"Barely flirts with girls anymore," Peter piped up, hoping to aid the situation a bit.
"Hasn't snogged a girl since," James added, getting up to pat Sirius on the back as if he pitied his friend. Sirius played along, nodding his head and trying his best to look like he was deprived of his stash of Dungbombs.
"It is my belief that Sirius has truly genuine feelings for Diana, as mad as it sounds," Remus finished, keeping eye contact with the female Gryffindor.
Caleigh stared at Remus. Unlike the other three boys, she did have a bit of respect for him. The added fact that the boy was a Prefect meant that he wasn't going to go about telling lies to benefit his gang of friends with their tricks. Yet it was still an unbelievable feat for Sirius to be… well, serious about a girl.
She looked at the group and shook her head, still in a state of disbelief, but curious about what the outcome would be. "Fine, I'm easy." She shrugged.
Sirius jumped over Peter who gave a yelp and ducked, and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, using his free hand to mess up her waist long hair.
"You bloody tool! Get off me before I decide I give a shit!"
"Awe, I knew you cared." Sirius laughed, hugging the girl while doing a stiff leg sway, knowing all too well that she was turning from red to purple with anger.
"No, I don't care," Caleigh growled, wiggling around in his arms trying to get away. "I just want to see you make a bigger git of yourself than you usually do."
Sirius laughed, turning towards his friends with a triumphant grin on his face. "Isn't she just a pumpkin tart?" The boy laughed, pinching her cheek and causing the girl to explode.
"Stuff it, Black!"
