A/N: Judging by the reviews, nobody saw that coming. In fact, I didn't see it myself, but I figured that it'd be fun to twist things up a bit. After all, all's fair in love and war. Thanks to my reviewers (I'm starting to reply to you all… check the bottom A/N). For the record though, this ends up LxJ, not LxS.
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, Ginny would've married a Slytherin.

"Well then," a voice began. Into the compartment stepped Sirius Black, holding a brown bag. Opening the bag and pulling out a candy ring, he asked, "Lily Evans, will you go out with me?"
Chapter Two: Promiscuous Girl
"Padfoot!" James Potter called irately.
"Prongs!" Sirius called back jovially.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"I'm walking down the hallway!" Sirius said regally.
"No, Black, I meant what do you think you're doing dating my Lily Evans!?"
"Mate," Sirius said, patting James' shoulder, still grinning widely. "I don't think she's yours if she consented to date me."
With that, Sirius strode away rather drunkenly.
"It's alright, Prongs," Lupin said, patting James' shoulder just as Sirius had done.
"Moony, it's not alright! Sirius doesn't even like her. You know that was part of that bet!" James shouted. At the mention of their bargain, Remus grimaced.
"Doesn't like her, eh?" Remus asked, looking over James' shoulder, where Sirius was leading Lily into a passionate kiss. "James, I think you just need to get used to the fact that Lily isn't interested in you. I mean, if I counted correctly, she rejected you a hundred and forty six times."
"That's not the point, Lupin! The point is that Lily will like me!" James said, sinking onto the floor.
"James, I think you need to give it a rest. If Sirius does like her, and Lily does like him, just give them a chance."
"Moony, you don't get it. I can't imagine going to a wedding for my best friend and the love of my life."
"I doubt they'll get married."
--
"Lils, c'mon," Sirius said, pulling her to her feet after dinner had finished that evening.
"Sirius, I can't… I have to take the first years up."
"Well, then, what do you say we meet up in half an hour by the portrait of the dancing trolls on the seventh floor?"
"Alright, Sirius."
"See you later," Sirius grinned, hurrying up the staircase. Lily sheparded the first years up seven flights of stairs and announced to the group at large that the password that night was 'Gurdyroots', before she darted upstairs to her dorm.
"Hi, girls," Lily greeted her roommates. Melanie Walcott, Cassie Lewis and Evanna Williams were already sitting on their respective beds, leaving Lily the bed she always got; right next to the window.
"Sirius Black, eh, Lily?" Evanna laughed, tossing her light brown hair. "You certainly have moved up, my dear."
"I know! A Black. And boy, is he cute!" Melanie giggled, sighing dreamily.
"I wish I could get James Potter up here for a night!" Cassie said, striking a sexual pose. The three girls all laughed.
"Remus Lupin looks good, this year," Melanie said, closing her eyes to think about him.
"That leaves Peter Pettigrew for you, Evie," Lily smiled.
"Don't even think about it, Evans," Evanna said, shuddering.
"Come on, Evie," Melanie urged, pulling her hair up into a ponytail. "He's not that hopeless looking."
"Yeah, he got better this year," Cassie chimed in.
"You date him, then," Evanna shot at Cassie. "I'll take Potter any day," she added.
Lily smiled, but on the inside, was wishing that she had said yes to James. Sure, she had plenty of time left at Hogwarts, and she really did like Sirius... but there was something about James that made her heart flutter every time she walked by. And the way he said her name…
"Lily. Lily. Lily!" Evanna shot. "Daydreaming, are we?"
"No. Thinking. Of course," Lily said nervously.
"Liar, liar, pants on fire!" Cassie laughed. "You're a terrible liar, Lily."
"Oh, yeah? Well…" Lily began.
"Well, it's time for you to go get with your little Sirius," Evanna cooed.
"Evie, shut up!" Lily laughed. She threw off her school robes onto the bed and flattened out her Muggle jeans before darting out of the room. She didn't stop running until she was a corridor away from the portrait; she didn't want to seem to anxious. She strode around the corner confidently, and stopped at the portrait. Sirius was nowhere in sight.
"Sirius?" Lily asked.
"Evans, shh," Sirius' voice said.
"Sirius, where are--" Lily began, but then was pulled under a cloak.
"Lily, just be quiet. Filch is coming down this corridor in less than five seconds."
"How do you--"
"Did you hear something, Mrs. Norris?" a wheezy voice asked. Lily looked astounded and frightened. "Come out, come out, wherever you are…" Filch said tauntingly. Sirius held Lily around the waist and began to walk back and forth quietly. Then, Sirius pulled her through a door and shut it securely.
"Lily, what were you thinking? I told you not to talk!" Sirius said putting his head in his hands.
"Sirius, how'd you know Filch was coming? And how'd he not see us? And how do you know he can't find us now?!"
"He can't find us now because we're in the Room of Requirement."
"What about my other questions?"
"They're unimportant," Sirius said airily. Then, he gave her a wicked smile.
"Sirius…" Lily warned as he drew closer to her. Lily stepped backward until she stepped right with her back against a wall.
"Lily," Sirius said as he slid his hands down her sides.
"Sirius," Lily replied nervously. Her nerves disappeared when Sirius' lips touched hers. Then, the door banged open.
"Oy!" a voice shouted. "Found him!"
"Prongs!"
"Padfoot!" James said in mock happiness.
"What are you doing here?" Sirius shouted as the door closed behind his three friends.
"Making sure you were alive?" James said in concern. "You're lucky, Padfoot. We couldn't find the map, and we weren't sure where you were."
"Hi, Lily," Remus said, striding over to where Lily was pinned against the wall.
"Hi, Remus."
"How are you this evening?"
"Just lovely, thanks," Lily smiled.
"Oy, get off her," James shouted at Sirius.
"Why should I?" Sirius asked. "She's my girlfriend!"
"You should because she doesn't want you all over her," James replied scathingly.
"Yeah, Potter. Sure. The real reason is because you wish you were me getting in with her," Sirius shouted, walking coolly over to James. All the while, Lily and Remus were still making small talk, and Peter was hovering somewhere near the door.
"Stupify!" James shouted, sending Sirius flying back into the wall. "You two get out," He said to Remus and Peter. "I have to settle something with Sirius." Peter scuffled out the door while Remus sent James a reproachful look.
"She'll be fine," James said, gesturing loosely at Lily. Remus waved at Lily and left the room.
"James, why'd you hurt him?" Lily asked, rushing over to Sirius' side.
"He deserved it."
"Nobody deserves to get thrown against a wall. I never thought this way of you, James. This is Death Eater work," Lily said, her gaze hardening as she stood against James, looking up into his eyes.
"Take that back," James breathed. He turned her around so that, once again, she was pinned between a wall and a very attractive Quidditch player.
"No."
"Fuck you."
"You couldn't."
"Evans, I warned you," James said, sliding his hands under Lily's shirt.
"Stop it," Lily said, squirming.
"Evans," James said, turning the final consonant into a hiss. "Just tell me you don't want this. Tell me that," James said, kissing her lightly. "And I'll leave you alone."
"I—st—I don't want you," Lily whimpered, choking on the words.
"Ah, Evans," James smiled. "You were always an awful liar."
Her eyes flickered closed, and James' mouth caught hers in a mind-blowing, passionate kiss.
A/N: Okay. Sure, Lily's over in a corner, making out with James. But Sirius is knocked out, so he shouldn't care, right? I've gotten some PM's asking me what the hell is going on. So here's my chapter summary.
Lily says 'yes' to Sirius, which pisses James off. When Lily and Sirius are in the middle of a makeout session, James, Peter and Remus all barge in (probably led by James, though). So, then James curses Sirius, and he gets knocked out. James proceeds to kiss Sirius' girlfriend.
Haha. Anyway. Thanks, Reviewers! (Here's my dedication/replies:)
EmeraldLovesHazel Thanks for the review! I love dedicated people. And I'm glad you like it so far. I'll try to keep it up to par.
Too Lazy to Log in: For the entire chapter, we were in the present, but Sirius looked back through the diary, which is probably why it was confusing. Haha. So, yeah. But Sirius asked her out in the present.
Julx27xluvsxHM: Thanks for the (numerous) reviews! I'm glad you like it. This will end up as a LxJ, not a LxS. I have a plan! Haha. But I hope nobody was expecting that. Because I wasn't. I just tried to de-cliche it in an interesting way.
partofthatworld: Is that a Little Mermaid reference? 'Cause I love that movie. Anyway. Yeah. I'm glad you like it so far. I'll try to keep updating fast. [:
ParadiseDreams: Sorry about the confusing-ness. /: ... I hope it gets less-confusing. Haha. I'm glad you liked it, though.
