The League

Chapter One: An offer she couldn't refuse

"No danger Black there is no way I'm going to a stupid Quidditch match - I mean look at all the paper work I have got to do!"

The redhead indicated to the piles of paper work that were littering the desk in front of her.

The man that was leaning against the door frame let out a bark like laugh which caused A few strands of his elegant black hair to fall into his soft grey eyes.

"Aww come on Lils, are you trying to tell me that you would rather stay in all weekend doing stupid paper work, bored out of your mind, than come to a fun and exciting Quidditch match with ME?"

"Maybe I am ... No who am I kidding? Of course I would rather go to a Quidditch match Sirius but there is just too much to be done!" Lily said as she pulled her auburn hair into a messy bun.

"Tell you what, I promise that I will help you with this lot as long as you come to the game tomorrow and then come out for a drink after with Pete, Remus and me. It's been too long since you came out with us and you can bring that pretty little friend of yours - what's her name again...Amy isn't it?"

Lily laughed "No it's Amelie, how many times have I got to tell you? She would probably love to go to a match, we have only been to two or three since she got back from France and she has been nagging me every match to go. Hm ... you better help me with all this otherwise I will castrate you!"

Sirius stood up to his full height smiling "Amy ... Amelie no difference really! Now give me some of that paper work Silly-Lily so I can go home and start it immediately to avoid castration as I'm sure you have noticed I'm quite fond of my man parts!" he made his way over to the desk and collected up around half of the mess in his arms.

"Well if you want to keep your man parts I would advise you never to call me silly-lily ever again, so where and when will Amelie and I meet you tomorrow?" she asked him whilst standing up and stretching

"Ehm how about ten o'clock at the leaky cauldron, then we can have a drink before catching the eleven o'clock port key to the stadium." he said from the door way.

"Yeah, sounds good, we will see you there. Remember to do that paper work, okay Sirius!" she gave him a stern look whilst slipping on her pale green jacket.

"Don't worry Lils it's as good as done. See you tomorrow love, have a good night" and with that he apparate out of sight.

Lily gathered up the rest of the folders and headed out of the office closing the door behind her. She headed along to the end of the corridor and came to a halt in front of a large oak door and knocked lightly.

"Enter" she heard a rough male voice call out.

Lily entered the room, "evening Sir here are the four reports you requested on the background information on those death eaters."

"Ah that's excellent Evans, just what I needed. Remember that I need the other reports by Monday morning!" he said whilst flipping through on one the folders Lily had just given him.

"Don't worry Moody I will have them done. Is there anything else you need done?" Lily enquired.

"No No just be alert this weekend in case anything happens, but according to our sources there is nothing planned but they have been wrong before... ah well have a good weekend Evans."

Lily smiled "You have a good one to Moody"

And she turned and left.

Five minutes later Lily stood in the kitchen of her little flat. She placed down the files on one of the worktops and took off her coat as she sighed. She could hear the soft thump of music that was coming from her flat mates room.

"Amelie I'm home, do you want a cup of tea?" she shouted through the kitchen door.

She heard the music stop and a door open,

"Hola Lily, nice to see you home this early, and yes a cup of tea would be fantastic!" Amelie shouted as she made her way along the hall and into the kitchen.

Lily filled the kettle and took two mugs out if a cupboard and place tea bags in each.

"how was work in the office of hell?" Amelie enquired as she took a seat at their small table.

"How do you think it was? Hell! I have so many bloody reports to do because of the attack last week, stupid Death eaters, also last night the body of a young boy was found in his home with the dark mark over the house and a warning left on the living room wall in his blood - parents were out for a meal, haven't found the nanny's body yet - Moody suspects she was a death eater. We had to get the parents into hiding as soon as possible. The father is some well-off broomstick designer but has also been helping the ministry somehow - potions or something along those lines I believe - Anyway when you-Know-Who requested his assistance her refused flat out to help him and lat night was the out come." her emerald eyes were filled with tears as she told her friend about the horrific attack,

"Imagine coming home to find your child dead, because you refused to do something ... think how they must feel!"

Amelie patted her friend on the back "I know, it's horrible, I can't believe that people could do something like that to an innocent child! It's sick" anger could be seen in her blue eyes.

Lily wiped her eyes, took a sip of her tea and said with a slight chuckle in her voice -

"Yes it is, but on with much worse news. You and I are going to attend the Tornadoes vs. Puddlemere Quidditch match tomorrow with one Mr. Sirius Black...horrible - isn't it?"

Amelie's eyes with excitement now "Lils are you kidding? You are actually going to come to a match?"

"Yes I'm going, don't sound too surprised!"

Amelie laughed "Surprised? No. Thrilled, yes. Curious, slightly. I mean, I have been home from France almost one year and a half now and we have attended three games. I have begged you every time Puddlemere have a match ... or anyone really. Every time you have told me oh-so nicely where to shove it, so why all of a sudden, out of the blue are we going to a match?" She asked her friend who was looking amused.

Lily smiled "I just -"

"Oh my god! I know why!" Amelie interrupted, slamming her now empty mug onto the table "Your shagging Black! Aren't you, you sly old fox"

Lily spat her tea back into her mug and began laughing "Me and B-B-Black? Are you shitting me? Of course I'm not shagging him Amelie, I dated his best mate for a year. And ... And ... EWW" she finished lamely.

"Denial" Amelie said sweetly pulling her shoulder length curly hair into a high pony tail.

"So what if you dated his best mate, that was so two years ago, and Sirius Black is FAR from Ew lily - just admit it your pumping Black" she laughed.

She loved winding Lily up, her face always went as red as her hair, just as it was now.

Lily was shaking her head "I am not pumping Black, nor will I ever pump black. I mean yeah he's hot - I'm not blind - but he is also a womanising git ... not my type generally - they're more your cup of tea, also I'm not Sirius' type but you my little blonde haired, blue eyed, big breasted friend with a pulse are."

Amelie pretended to look scared and worried ,

"Oh no we must save me from the beast that we call Black! Tomorrow when I nip off to the loo be sure to inform him that I am probably re-stuffing my bra or I'm not a natural blonde ... or something like that."

Lily stopped outside her bedroom door "Never fear, I shall keep the beast at bay fair lady."

"ha ha I'm sure you will Lils" she stuck her tongue out at Lily who was slowly turning red again.

"not like that!" she whined.

"okay, whatever you say, so what time will I need to get up?" she asked as she sat on Lily's bed.

"Well we are meeting them at ten in the leaky cauldron so we can have a few drinks before hand" she told her friend as she was getting changed into her pyjamas.

"Wait, who's them?" Amelie propped herself up against the head board.

"Sirius, Remus and Peter. You remember Remus and Peter, don't you? They are Sirius' best mates, you've met them a couple of times before - both when we were extremely drunk in the leaky cauldron. Once was the night we were talking to those German wizards who hardly spoke English and were trying to communicate by pointing to you, Jess or me, then to themselves then hip thrusting ... it took me ages to figure out what they meant coz' I was so drunk." she plonked herself down on the bed beside Amelie who was shaking with laughter from the memory.

"Ah yes I remember now ... Remus was the hottie with sandy blonde hair? Tall and sorta' silent?"

"Yes, but Remus is far from silent! I believe he came across as silent due to the fact that Jess was signing extremely loud and trying to get them to dance with her then proceeded to be sick all over the table which lead to us being kicked out." Lily flicked her wand and a magazine that had been on the dressing table flew across the room and landed in her lap.

Amelie was laughing harder than ever "ah that was a good night. You, me and Jess need to go out again soon, we've not been out in a while, I think I will go and send her an owl, see what she is up to next weekend or something. We always have a good night with Jess, So I shall bid you a farewell" Amelie bowed from within the door frame.

"See you tomorrow, night."

"Goodnight and sweet dreams about Sirius!"
