"So she's older than fourth year?" Remus repeated impatiently.

"Yes. Definitely."

"Is she blond?" Lily asked. Sirius shook his head. "Redhead?" Sirius shook his head again. "Brunette?"

"Bingo!" Sirius rubbed his hands together. "Nine questions right there, Evans."

"Is she in any of our classes?" Remus asked.

"Yes."

"Charms?" James inquired.

"No."

"Herbology?"

"No."

"Transfiguration?"

"Yes."

James whistled excitedly, remembering a certain girl in Transfiguration Sirius had talked about. "Is it Ruby Bloom?" he asked, believing he had solved the mystery.

"No," Sirius said wistfully. "Unfortunately not."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Remus frowned. "You don't like the girl you're buying something for?"

"Not right now. She's being sort of mean." Sirius sighed, but brightened up again. "That's fifteen questions. You have five more."
