DISCLAIMER - My plot bunnies own a little of this, but anything you recognise is J.K Rowlings creation!

Chapter 6

Saturday came very quickly, and too soon Lily was panicking so much she was hyperventilating over what to wear to meet James. "Anyone would think you have a crush Lils," Marlene winked laughing as Andi walked in, with a huge stack of toast for everyone, since no one seemed to be getting to the Great Hall for breakfast anytime soon. Mary shushed them as she tried to calm their friend down, while Alice was sifting through clothes trying to find an outfit for
Lily. "He's just a friend," hiccupped Lily as her breathing became steadier.

"Sure sure Lils, you've never been this nervous to meet a guy that you were going out with much less a "friend" such as my lovely twin," Andi grinned wickedly.

"Oh ignore them, they're trying to wind you up again," Alice sighed, knowing this would just start an argument, especially when she agreed with the majority of her friends, "Now go put this on, and get down to the Entrance Hall, before he thinks you're standing him up!"

The five of them went down to the Entrance Hall where Lily ran over to James, and Mary, Marlene and ALice all said their goodbyes to Andi walking with the couple. Peter and Remus had already gone to Hogsmeade to find their dates, so all that was left was Andi. Slowly back to her dormitory, Sirius jumped in front of her, and dragged her out the front door. "You're not spending a Hogsmeade day by yourself! You have a date with me!" And before she could say anything, they were running down to the carriages.

...

Sirius and Andi sat in a corner in the Hogs Head, sipping butterbeer and laughing away to themselves. The day had gone well, starting in Zonko's and Honeydukes, then they had a walk around the village, sniggering at the people going into Madam Paddifoots, it was far too gushy! They had been sitting in the pub for 3 hours now, just laughing and talking and having a great time. "It's been ages since we've done anything like this, just us!" Sirius said, bringing back two new butterbeers.

"I know! I've missed it, hanging out with the others is fun, but its much easier hanging out separately," Andi smiled at him. Sirius suddenly looked a little shy, not a look that often appeared on the usually confident boys face. Andi stared at him, about to ask him what was wrong, when Sirius leant over and kissed her. It was sweet and gentle and Andi leaned into the kiss happily. But then she remembered back years ago. The bet the four male Mauraders had made. Her, and Lily for that matter, being humiliated and embarrassed as Peter had let the cat out of the bag. Hurt and rejection flooding back, the tears cried, the sheepish look on Sirius's face. Not being able to face her best friends, bar Lily.

She couldn't do that again.

She pulled away from Sirius, dashing out of the door and running away, while Sirius sat a stared at the door where she last was. Picking up her bag of sweets and pranks, he sighed and slowly followed in suit. He ruined everything, their friendship, their hopefully one day relationship, all in the matter of a few seconds.

If James found out he'd probably murder him after last time.

Andi probably hated him and wouldn't talk to him.

The two people he cared about most in the world, not to be there.

It was a hard thought. Sirius sighed.

Why did he have to fall for his best friends sister?

...

A/N - What do you think? I know its short but it has all the things I needed to get the story going a little more. I'll try to update soon but I have no internet access or way to write them up at home so I need to steal library computers when I can.

Also I know this is unrelated and I never do this sort of thing, but my fiancé has finally joined fanfiction! Yays! And she has started writing a Harry Potter fic of her own and, trying not to be biased here, its really rather awesome! So if you want to, not pressuring, go and give it a look. She's dubickas19. Its her first fanfiction so don't flame her!

Speaking of review please and I appreciate complements and constructive criticism but please no flames, if you don't like it don't read it.

I'll be back soon, and if you read any of my other stories, I'm trying to update them in the next week too!

Cookies for you all!

Love
