Chapter2 In Which Sirius gets what he was aiming for.
As the sun rose on the first day of school for the year, an unusual sound was heard from the Griffindor girls' dormitory.
"Brrrrraaaaaaaakkkkkkkbrackkkkkkkkk!" Lily's owl came hurtling through the opened window, making a very 'un-owl-like' sound. In fact, it sounded more like a rooster than anything.
"BRRRRAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKBRACKKKKK!" Zeus sounded again, louder this time, impatiently hopping on Lily's bed.
"What the hell?!" Orla exclaimed, rolling over to sit up on her bed on the other side of the room.
"Make it go awaaaaaayyyy," Deirdre moaned, putting a pillow over her head "whose rooster is that?!"
Lily finally woke up, more because of her friends whining than the overly disruptive owl sitting on her bed, calling like a maddened rooster.
"Wassamatter?" she said sleepily "whose rooster?"
"Honestly Lily, you'd sleep through an explosion! And, for your information, it's not a rooster, it's your goddamned owl, and if you don't take that massive parcel of its leg and SHUT IT UP, I, Orla O'Ceallaigh, will personally KILL YOU!" Orla said, gesturing to the impatient owl and punching her pillow in disgruntled anger.
Lily shook her head, and untied the brown paper parcel. Carefully she opened the box, after discarding the paper onto the floor. Inside lay a small bouquet of various flowers, and a single piece of paper. Eyes widened, she read it.
"Oh. My. God." She said as she finished reading it.
"What? What did it say?" Deirdre said, now fully awake, brushing out her brown curls unconcernedly.
"How can you just be so blasé about this Deirdre?" Orlaith scolded her cousin "It's obviously from Sirius, you've got to have seen those looks he was giving her yesterday."
She raised an eyebrow at Lily. "So, it is from him, right?"
Lily reddened, turning the colour of her hair "Yeah it is."
"And what'd it say?" Orla probed further.
"He wants me to go out with him," Lily said, summing up the content "and he wrote about me in a poem."
"That's so sweet! You're a perfect couple anyway," Deirdre exclaimed, as Orla mock fainted onto her bed.
"Yeah Lily, Sirius is like the biggest girl magnet of the school, you're so lucky to get him." Orla said, her brown hair flopping in her face as she jumped off her bed.
"Yeah I am." Lily said, blushing and hoping going out with Sirius wasn't going to make her be permanently red in the face. "We better go to breakfast, we're going to be late!" she said after glancing at her pocket watch.
Still on her bed, now perched on the end, Zeus crowed again indignantly.
"One of the boys must have spelled him so he'd wake you up Lily." Deirdre said as she reversed the spell and Zeus went back to making more 'owl-ish' noises and flew off to the owlery.

As the girls made their way down to the dining hall (now showered and dressed in their uniforms), Sirius leaned outside the room waiting for Lily with James.
"You really reckon she'll have gone for it?" James asked his over confident friend.
"Of course she will, they all do," Sirius said, waving off James' concerns "who could resist Sirius Black?"
James shook his head disgusted. Honestly, Sirius had to be the biggest flirt in the world. As least he was good around girls. Despite being a huge girl-magnet himself, he couldn't act like Sirius did around girls, all relaxed and confident.
"Here she comes," Sirius said, straightening up.
"I'm going to go inside," James said after stealing a glance at Lily and the other girls.
Lily's hair had been done up with the flowers from Sirius's bouquet placed every so often throughout it.
James shook his head, Lily looked great, but he couldn't help to feel a little put out. After all it'd been he not Sirius who'd flown around in the middle of the night to find the flowers trying not to get caught.
"Bye James," Sirius said dismissing his friend
"Hi Lily," He began as she walked up with the flirtiest smile on his face. James went inside suddenly wanting to be as far away from them as possible.
~*~*~*~*~*~ Later, in Transfiguration ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily was sitting next to Sirius, their hands held discretely beside their chairs so Professor Mc Gonagal didn't get up them.
Lily sighed happily as she had been doing all day. Sirius was such a nice guy, she thought for the zillionth time. Totally romantic (they'd had a picnic lunch beside the lake) and eyes only for her (she'd been making sure he hadn't been watching the other, in Lily's opinion, more pretty girls).
Sirius, on the other hand, was simply thinking about how good it was to have a girl friend who he hadn't been out with before. As the biggest flirt of the school, pretty much every girl within a reasonable age range at the school had been out with him at least once.
Except Deirdre. She seemed to be waiting for some one particular.
He lent down to whisper in Lily's ear as James demonstrated a tricky spell of turning a pair of scissors (a Muggle invention) into a butterfly.
"So, you want to come with me to the lake tonight?"
Lily put her free hand to her mouth, animating her disappointment
"I've got to go the library to tutor Riley Jacobsen one of the first years in Charms. I'm so sorry Sirius, maybe tomorrow night?"
"Sure thing," Sirius said, warmly squeezing her delicate hand.
James looked over at them, as he was being praised on his butterfly, which was now flitting around the large room and sighed unhappily. They look so perfect; James thought pensively, why couldn't I find someone like that?
