"I can't believe you. I really can't believe you."
Kayla was staring at you with wide eyes and an open-mouthed smile. You could feel your face get hot and you looked away from her. Christmas night had seemed to come to fast. There you were, without a dress already. Lucky you had Kayla for a friend.
"Do you have a dress I can borrow or not?" you said.
"Of course i have a dress you can borrow. I brought about four. . . . So are you really going with Sirius Black."
"Yes i'm going with Sirius Black. How many times are you going to ask me that?"
"Until i'm positive that i'm not just dreaming! I mean, you're going with Sirius and Lily's going with James. . . . It's all a bit wild."
Kayla opened her trunk and carefully looked into it. Kayla was always one for tidy and had her trunk seperated into neat seperate sections so that things wouldn't get wrinkled and ugly. She laughed suddenly and stood up, pulling out a dress. "It's perfect for you," she said, laying it out on the bed.
There was a peck on the window and when you opened it, an owl came in carrying a white corsage (sp?). A note was attached from Sirius.
Can't wait to see you tonight.

Sirius POV
Sirius waited nervousley for his 'date' in the Entrance Hall. Kayla and Lily had already come and his friends were gone. He was on his own. He hoped he looked okay.
"Oh, Sirius!"
Sirius turned around excitedly only to find that Isabelle girl standing on the bottom step looking embarresed. She was dressed in a short perriwinkle dress and high looking shoes.
"Hey, Isabelle," Sirius said, nodding at her.
"This is a tad bit embarressing," she said, "but my heel seems to have gotten stuck in the stair. MInd if you help me?"
Sirius shrugged and moved forward. Easily, he grabbed her ankle and pulled her shoe from the stair . . . it should have been easy, considering she wasn't really stuck.
Her arms slipped around his shoulders and she smiled suspiciously. "Look up."
Sirius sighed and looked up, his face going pale.
MIstletoe.
"I really can't--" He started but Isabelle shoved her lips against his, almost making him fall backwards.
He gently pushed her off of him, only to see her grinning evily. He turned around and felt his heart drop and his stomach do flips.
There stood Taylor, looking stunning in a light green dress that went wonderful with her black hair. The dress was two strapped and hung short in the front, about to her knees and long in the back, about to the floor. Her hair hung about her face in soft curls, bouncing as she came down the stairs, looking hurt.
"Taylor, I --"
"Nothing to explain, Sirius," Taylor said, forcing a smile. "We agreed to come as friends remember? I could care less who you . . . kiss."
She hurried past him and into the Great Hall leaving him and Isabelle alone.
"Well, she didn't take that too well, did she?" Isabelle said laughing.
Sirius turned to her, horrified. "You're . . . awful!"
He went through the doors into the Great Hall to look for Taylor . . . only to find her talking to some Gryffindor he had seen before but never really talked to. She looked happy, entertained, as the boy flirted with her openly. He said something and when she nodded, he kissed her hand and led her out onto the dance floor.
Sirius's heart broke. How could he have been so stupid? He sat down at a table and sulked as his eyes settled on the girl he was supposed to be with.

Your POV
 Tyler was rather entertaining but not at all your type. You hadn't even really wanted to dance with him but then you saw Sirius walk in and you agreed, not quite sure why. Maybe because you didn't want to let a git like him ruin the dance for you? Maybe.
Tyler talked on and on about meaningless things while you danced. You nodded and laughed when you thought you were supposed to but you couldn't focus. Mostly because every time you looked up, you noticed Sirius staring at you. Finally, you had enough.
"I'm going to get some fresh air," you said to Tyler.
"Want me to come with you?"
"No, no, it's all right. I'll be back."
Quickly you hurried outside, feeling sort of flushed. Once outside, you sat down on the ledge of the fountain, listening to the soft music coming from the fountain.
You were a bit surprised to how you had felt when you saw SIrius kissing Isabelle. Your heart had stopped and dropped all at the same time. Mostly shock was what kept you standing there until Sirius had started to talk. But . . . what did it matter if he wanted to kiss Isabelle? You had agreed to come as just friends . . . . But . . . had you changed your mind, like Sirius had wanted you to? Had you wanted this to be an actual date?
"Taylor?"
You looked up and stood up as Sirius came towards you.
"Oh, hello," you said, forcing another smile and trying to keep your voice steady. "Enjoying the dance?"
"Not really," Sirius said, truthfully. "How about you?"
"Who me? Oh, I'm having a marvelous time. I just . . . it was all hot and sweaty in there, you know?"
You began to walk and very quickly, Sirius was in step with you. "Look, Taylor, about that kiss -"
"You don't have to explain about that kiss, Sirius," you said.
"Oh but i do. You see, i think that you think something else was going on --"
"You mean, there was something else besides the fact that the guy who supposed to be taking me to the dance was kissing another girl?" You stopped and crossed your arms.
Sirius stopped in front of you and said, "Look there was a mistletoe, okay? I told her i didn't want to but she -- she forced herself on me! You said it yourself, she wants anything you have!"
"But i don't have you Sirius! You're not mine and never will be! I don't want to be yours anyway!"
There was a shocked silence.
"But," Sirius started. "But -- I thought you and i had something going for us."
"Well," you lied, "we didn't. What makes you think I'd ever want to be with you?"
"Well, what makes you think i'd want to be with you? You may have change your outside but your still loner, ugly Mudblood!"
You took a step back as if you'd been slapped. Your heart pounded painfully against your ribs and tears came to your eyes though you willed them not to.
Sirius's anger dropped immediately. "Taylor," he said, "Taylor i didn't mean that."
"'Course you didn't," you said, thickly. "Just leave me alone, Black."
You pushed past him and back towards the castle, ignoring his calls and the fact that he was following you. In the Tower, you ran up the steps, knowing that as soon as he stepped on them, they would turn into a slide.
"So help me, God, Sirius Black," you said, looking down at him at the bottom of the steps, "if you don't leave me alone, if you ever come near me again, I'll hex you into oblivion! We're through!"
You turned and stormed into you bedroom, slamming the door behind you. You leaned against it, your legs slipping out from under you and you slid down to the floor. Looking around, you were alone, so you let the tears flow freely.
