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.
