Part Two: Gifts
SB: One thing that is almost guaranteed to get a girl's attention is a gift.
RL: So even the great Sirius Black needed cheap tricks to get a girl's attention?
SB: There is no need to be so sarcastic, Reemy.
JP: Wow. Good job, Sirius. You actually picked up the sarcasm this time.
SB: Thank you, my friend.
RL: Now he just needs to work on realising when people are patronising him.
JP: Baby steps, Moony. Let him have his moment.
SB: Hey!
RL: Finally caught on, have you?
SB: Forget you guys! Back to the book.
RL: By all means, continue.
SB: A gift isn't the only way to charm a girl, of course. However, gathering a couple of flowers or buying a simple box of chocolates takes the least amount of effort.
JP: So I should get Evans lilies!
RL: Just because her name is Lily, it doesn't mean she has to like lilies.
JP: So I should get her roses?
SB: You could, but she'd probably still hate you.
JP: She doesn't hate me!
RL: What? So her calling you an arrogant toe rag and telling you to jump off the Astronomy Tower is her playing hard to get?
JP: Of course.
RL:…
JP: Why did you slap your forehead again, Moony?
SB: He does that a lot.
RL: I don't think anyone reading this will wonder why.
PP: Hey, have you guys done that potions essay due on Friday because I need help with the—
SB: Wormtail! Don't just barge in like that.
PP: Umm. This is my dorm room too, guys.
JP: You should still knock before you walk in.
PP: Since when have any of us ever knocked?
SB: Since now!
RL: Ignore the idiots, Peter. They're just being hormonal.
JP: Oi!, SB: Huh?
PP: You guys are being weird again so…I'll be in the common room.
SB: Well now that he's gone, we can get back on topic.
RL: It's not like we were on topic before he got here either.
SB: Shut up, Moony. You're killing the mood…Hey! Don't roll your eyes!
RL: Sorry, oh wise one. Please continue to enlighten us with your intelligence and literacy.
SB: Good to see you're finally coming around. Anyway, if you don't want to spend your money on flowers and chocolates, not only does Hogwarts have wild flowers growing in a few places, but there are also several spells to transfigure sticks into flowers.
JP: Which spells?
SB: I don't know. It'll probably be in a book somewhere. I've never needed to know those spells because birds are always throwing themselves at me no matter what I do.
RL: Did Sirius Black just tell someone to consult a book?
JP: Guys! This is serious. What spells can I use to make Evans flowers?
SB: No, I'm Sirius.
RL: James, I thought we agreed not to set Sirius up for any more of those terrible puns after third year.
JP: Well I didn't do it on purpose!
SB: You guys agreed that?! You are now Black-listed!
RL: Are you done with the terrible puns now.
SB: Just for the foreseeable future.
RL: Big word, Sirius. Good job.
SB: Why, thank you, my friend. Anyway, James, it won't matter if you get Evans flowers. She'll still hate you.
JP:…
RL: James, stop scowling at Sirius.
