Chapter Two:

Peter was up in the dorm room, with Sirius, James, and Remus. A Hogsmeade weekend was coming up in just a few days, and they were planning everything they were going to do, just like they usually did. They really looked forward to these Saturdays.

"Oh! We could go to The Three Broomsticks and get drunk off of butterbeer!" Sirius smiled.

"Um, Sirius, you can't really get drunk off of butterbeer." Remus was quick to state.

Sirius ignored his friend and continued to tell them more about what a fun day it would be if they were all drunk. He thought that since they were all only a year away from being of age, they could go ahead and break the rules. That is, until Peter interrupted him.

"Um, guys, I…have to ask you something." Peter said slowly.

He had been thinking a lot the past night. Mainly about Calista. He realized that he really liked her, and even though he probably didn't have any chance in the world with her, maybe he should try at least. Peter knew he wasn't very brave, but he thought that maybe he should just try something for once. So he decided he wanted to ask Calista to spend the day in Hogsmeade with him.

"What is it, Pete?" James asked.

"Err…I was wondering…how should I ask out a girl?" Peter had never asked for girl advice before, because he didn't want to even bother with them in the past. His friends were now shocked.

James busted out laughing. "I'm not laughing at you mate. I'm just shocked! You have never asked out a girl before! For a while, we thought you were gay!"

Peter's face turned red as the other two joined in laughing.

"Who's the lucky girl, mate?" Remus asked.

Peter hesitated. He knew that Sirius would kill him for this…

"Calista Paisley."

It was silent for what seemed like forever. Then, Sirius yelled "WHAT?!"

Sirius jumped up and glared at Peter. The look was quite terrifying. Sirius's gray eyes were narrowed and seemed to darken. His fists were balled up, and it sounded as if he was growling.

"Whoa, calm down, mate." James said nervously, standing up to put a hand on his best friend's shoulder.

"What the hell, Peter?! Why do you even ask a dumb question like that?!" Sirius yelled. Remus had stood up also, and was looking rather nervous.

Peter stood as well, and said, "Well, I mean, uh, she's pretty, and I thought-"

Sirius cut him off. "Thought what?! You know I like her! And besides, what in Merlin's name makes you think that she would even look at you?!"

Peter's breath caught in his throat. Had Sirius just said what he thought he said? Peter's stomach seemed to knot up, and he didn't know what to say. But Sirius sure did.

"Yeah, you heard me, Peter! Why would such a beautiful girl look at a disgusting rat like you? You shouldn't even bother! Stay the hell away from her!" Sirius yelled.

Peter chose then to leave. He walked to the bathroom, which the four boys shared. He walked in, shut the door, and locked it. He slid to the floor, and tried to hold back his tears.

Sirius had hurt him badly. What he said was beyond mean. Peter knew he was nothing to look at. He wasn't ugly, as Sirius made him out to be. But then again, he wasn't a god. Peter knew he didn't have a chance with Calista, but Sirius had just ripped Peter's heart out.

Peter could hear his friends trying to calm Sirius down.

"Mate, that was a bit too far." James said calmly.

"I think you should go apologize to him." Remus stated. "It's rare that Peter gathers the confidence to ask a girl out. He took to courage to ask his friends how to talk to a girl, and you laughed in his face."

"You think I care?! He knew I liked her! He's seen my attempts to make her mine!" Sirius was still angry.

"Exactly, Sirius. Attempts. No offense, mate, but obviously she doesn't like you. So why not let Peter have a chance?" James asked.

"Because, James! If she won't date me, then obviously she won't want him!" Sirius said.

Peter let himself cry. His best friend of five years was insulting him with every word he said. He was glad that James and Remus were sticking up for him, but it was a lost cause. Sirius was livid.

Peter heard the door slam, and guessed that Sirius had left the dorm. Peter wiped his face and looked in the mirror. You couldn't even tell he had been crying. He put on a normal, confident looking face, and turned to the door.

James and Remus knocked softly.

"Pete? You okay?" Remus asked.

"Care to open the door and talk to us?" James said.

Peter opened the door, and Remus put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Don't listen to Sirius. He's a git."

"Yeah!" James agreed. "If you want to ask Paisley out, fine by me!"

Peter attempted to smile, but couldn't.

"Hey, mate, it'll be alright. Sirius is just mad because for once he can't get a girl. I'm sure he didn't mean anything he said." Remus said.

"And I'm sure he did." Peter managed.

Remus sighed. "James here can help you with the whole asking her out thing."

James immediately returned to his cocky, happy self and said, "Yep, I sure can! Sit back and listen to the advice of James Potter, god of dating!"

Peter smiled at his best friend's attempts. "Alright."

"Okay, mate. Tomorrow is Friday, so that means that you have one day to ask her to Hogsmeade with you. She's probably in the common room with Evans right now." James paused to think of his crush longingly. "So, all you do is go sit beside of her, and say 'Calista, I was wondering if you would like to spend Saturday in Hogsmeade with me.' Don't stutter, but don't act too confident either. Smile, but don't look stupid."

James thought for a moment, then continued. "If she rejects you, don't look too sad. Just say okay and then move on. If she says yes, then smile and arrange the meeting time. You'll have to meet down in the common room before we leave. Oh, and don't do anything embarrassing. I don't think I have to classify what those things are."

Peter took all this in, and then nodded. He was ready.

Calista sat in the Gryffindor common room, reading a novel. It was supposed to help her and Lily with their project. Lily was up in the dorm showering, and was going to come down when she was done so they could get started on the project.

Calista had told Lily last night about her thoughts on Peter Pettigrew. Lily hadn't shrieked in disgust like Calista thought she would. Like a true friend, Lily had just smiled and said 'good luck'.

So, Calista had an official crush on Peter Pettigrew.

Calista knew that Peter didn't date a lot. And, she knew that he was shy. So therefore she knew she didn't have much of a chance with him. But that was okay with her, she didn't absolutely need him as a boyfriend. It was merely a schoolgirl crush. At least, that was what she tried to tell herself.

Calista looked up and saw Peter walk into the common room. She stopped breathing, and looked back to her book, not really taking in the words.

"Hey, Calista." A nervous sounding voice said.

She looked up to see him sitting beside of her. She felt her body heat up, and she was sure her face was bright red.

"Oh, um, hey Peter." She managed to get out. "What's up?" She asked. Oh, that was stupid! She thought to herself.

"Well, I was, uh, wondering, if, um, you would want to spend Saturday in Hogsmeade with me?" He said. All this seemed to come out in one word very quickly. But she still understood him.

A bunch of feelings overtook her. Nervousness, happiness, and tons of others she couldn't describe. She had to remind herself that he was expecting an answer.

"I...I'd love to, Peter." She said. Wow, very classy! She thought. She was proud of herself for not stuttering or saying something stupid.

He smiled widely, and his bright blue eyes lit up. "Okay, sounds great! Um…" He seemed to think for a moment. "Just, um, meet me down here before everyone leaves?"

"Sounds great." She smiled. Those feelings were not going away.

He blushed furiously, and then stood up. "Okay, then. Well, um, I guess I'll see you in class tomorrow. Bye, Calista." And then he left.

Calista didn't allow herself to smile and freak out until he was gone, and she was back in her dorm.

She shut the door, and screamed in delight.

"What's going on?" Lily asked, coming out of the bathroom with her hair up in a towel.

Calista ran over and grabbed her best friend by the shoulders. "!"

"Um, what?" Lily asked, confused. Her best friend had just said one really long word that seemed to jumble together.

Calista took a deep breath, and repeated. "Peter Pettigrew just asked me to Hogsmeade with him Saturday!"

Lily's mouth dropped open, and she began to squeal in delight with her best friend. They began to discuss the details of the upcoming Saturday, and Lily started to give Calista ideas of what to wear.

Peter ran back up to his dorm, and collided with Remus. They both recovered, then James and Remus both began to demand to know what happened.

"She said yes!" Peter stated proudly.

"Oh yeah!" James pumped his fist in the air. He had just helped Peter get his first date! He felt so proud of himself.

Peter gave them the details they demanded. Once they had all calmed down and started to get ready for bed, Peter allowed himself to dream of the coming weekend. He lay down on his bed. He was almost asleep when he heard the door open and heard Sirius's footsteps.

He heard Sirius lay down on his own bed. Peter started to wonder where he had been, but then realized that he didn't care. Peter had a date with the most beautiful girl in the world, and he wasn't about to let Sirius Black ruin it for him.
