A Match Well-Made

Chapter One: Miss Match

Lily Rose Evans was a beautiful, witty, seventeen-year-old witch. She had long auburn hair and startling green eyes. Lily attended Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was going to be entering her final year. She was easily at the top of her class and despite her charming personality and beauty, she had never dated. Probably due to the fact that she never concentrated on her own love life. Lily was known as the matchmaker of Hogwarts. Matchmaking was her hobby. It was Quidditch to her. It was all about the twist and turns and the unexpected. Oh yes, Lily Evans lived for the thrill of the chase.

Lily Evans has two best friends, Angela Jacobs and James Potter. Angela was a blue-eyed brunette. While James had untamable raven black hair and hazel eyes. They had been her best friends since the very first voyage to Hogwarts. James was more like a big brother to her, and she considered and treated him like one. Lily's biggest accomplishment thus far in her matchmaking career had been setting up the previous year's Head Boy and Girl. Their wedding was actually scheduled for January. Lily, of course, was invited to the special event.

"Angie, did I show you Gwen and Andrew's wedding invitation? They're absolutely gorgeous! There's nothing better than a match well-made!" exclaimed an ecstatic Lily Evans, who was sitting with her best friend on the Hogwarts Express.

"I still can't believe those two ended up together! Andrew was heart broken after his break up with Julie. I heard people say he was never going to date again." Angela said.

"I know! It only makes my match the more triumphant-"

Suddenly the compartment door opened, effectively drawing the girls' attention. In the doorway stood the Marauders; James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. James was the first to break the silence.

"A triumph? More like a lucky guess, Lil."

"Have you ever known the triumph of a lucky guess, Mr. Potter?" Lily said mockingly.

"You're impossible, Lily. I pity your next victim. Now tell me how your summer has been." James said.

Angela sat and talked with the other Marauders while continued to whisper with James.

Lily abruptly asked, "Is Sirius dating anyone?"

"No, why?" James asked suspiciously.

"I have one main project this year. All summer I couldn't help but notice how lonely Angie has been. So I thought I best put my skills to use and make her a match. And the first guy that jumped to my mind was Sirius! Wouldn't they just be the cutest couple ever?"

"I see Angela is the lucky one to have my pity. Go ahead, Lil. Just don't put your matchmaking ahead of your friendship." James warned.

"Of course I won't! I'm a pro at this! I know what I'm doing. You're always trying to find some type of fault with me! Now who's the impossible one?" Lily exclaimed.

"Hey, that's what brothers are for; I have to find fault with my sister." James said with a smile.

*************************************

That night after the feast Lily decided to put her plan into action. Lily and Angela were sitting on their four poster beds having their usual midnight talk.

"So, Angie, what do you think about Sirius Black? He looked pretty good today. The summer certainly must have done him good." Lily said.

"Yeah, he did look hot, but did you see Remus? He didn't look like he was feeling good. I hope he's all right." Angela replied.

"I bet Remus is fine! He must have the flu. It's been going around lately. Sirius did say something nice about you, though." Lily said, trying to get Angela's attention on Sirius.

"Really? What did he say?" Angela asked, looking very interested.

"Oh, I couldn't possibly intrude on a matter like this. I was sworn to secrecy." Lily said with a slight smile. He plan was already working.

Angela looked disappointed until Lily finally gave in.

"I guess I could make and exception for my best friend."

Lily began to whisper in Angela's ear and the two friends giggled the night away; neglecting the fact that they had classed in the morning.

*************************************

The next day their first class was Charms, Lily's best subject. She took this as the perfect opportunity to talk to Sirius about Angela. She saw Sirius enter the room and quickly took a seat next to him.

"Hey Sirius, you don't mind if I sit next to you, do you?" Lily asked politely.

Sirius looked delighted. "Of course, Lily. No one in their right mind would turn down a chance to sit next to THE Lily Evans."

Lily sat and quickly started her mission. "So, Sirius, you're not dating anyone, right?" Lily asked looking for confirmation of what James had told her.

"No, I'm not. Why do you ask?" Sirius inquired.

"No reason. Look at Angela! Doesn't she look lovely today? I did her hair this morning. Though, she doesn't need my help to look beautiful." Lily said.

"You did it? Well, I must admit she does look hot." Sirius stated.

"Perhaps we could all get together for the first Hogsmeade trip? You, me, James, and Angela? I know Angela would LOVE to go with you." Lily said.

"Well, any friend of yours is a friend of mine." Sirius said, smiling at Lily.

Lily nodded and looked quite pleased with herself. That is until a piece of paper hit her on the back of the head. It was a note. Lily opened it.

Glad to see you're hard at work, Lils. Did I hear my name spring up in your conversation? –James

Lily quickly scribbled a reply and threw it back to James. James opened it and read-

James, you have to come with me, Sirius, and Angela for the first Hogsmeade trip. My plan is working so far! YOU HAVE TO COME! Please? –Lily

James wrote back.

What's in it for me?

Lily replied again.

I'll buy you a butterbeer that day and I'll do one Charms homework assignment for you. –Lily

Lily turned around to look at him. He smiled and nodded at her in agreement.

*************************************

That night Lily and Angela were yet again having their nightly chat.

"Ang, Sirius wants to go with you on the next Hogsmeade trip. He told me himself in Charms today. He definitely likes you."

"Lily, you're not just trying to match me up with Sirius because if you are-"

"Angela, I'm not. I really thing Sirius likes you! And I think you guys would be a great couple. I just want to see you happy."

"Well, as long as you're not trying to set me up, I'll go. You're going to come too, right?" Angela asked.

"Yeah, I'm just going with James. I owe him a butterbeer." Lily said, feeling somewhat guilty about lying. In the end Angela would thank her for making her happy, right? Right.

*************************************

The next few weeks passed by quickly. Finally the first Hogsmeade trip was upon them. Lily was overjoyed. This would definitely be her greatest match yet! Or so she thought…
