Everybody turned around to see Tilly waking up and asking the question.
Most of them were slack jawed seeing her wake up already. Then she said with a cute smile on her face "Well? What's caused the end of the World?"
Sirius spoke up before anybody could saying "N-nothing Tilly, they were just making fun of me." She looked at him and frowned saying "Why are you lying I would know whether you tell the truth because you stutter when you don't?"
I looked shocked and upset responding "Oh it's nothing really you needn't worry your p-self about that" Wow Sirius thought I almost called her pretty. After looking a little puzzled she smiled and said "Well must be off I believe I need to find somebody else who might love me." At that she got up, picked up her sketchbook, walked to the nurses door, asked whether she could leave, was told she could, and then walked out of the hospital wing with everybody looking at her doing that.
When she left. James said "Bad luck mate. Looks like you should have said yes before." Sirius ran his hair threw his hair, frustrated. Then he asked "What should I do? I actually thought she would've asked me one more time."
Lily stood up and touched Sirius' shoulder responding "I suggest you go find her right now so you can get her and hope she hasn't found anybody yet. I mean most of the guys here think she's pretty attractive." Angry over that comment, Sirius pushed those thoughts away, smiled at Lily, and said thanks to her while telling James "You've got a keeper." She blushed surprisingly at that and walked out of the hospital wing then Sirius winked at James and they both walked out leaving the other Marauders getting ready to look for the girls they need.
So they went into the Gryffindor Common Room and up to their rooms where Sirius pulled out the Marauders Map. In it they found Lily sitting near the tree on the Black Lake and Tilly talking to some Gryffindor boy who was a 7th year who was a year older than her in the Great Hall. They split off after that with Sirius keeping the map. Once he made it to the place, he saw something that almost made his heart break. He saw Tilly giggling and touching the guy (Jared Bones) with that forever cute smile on her face.
Instantly Sirius went toward Tilly and said "Tilly, I need to talk to you for a moment." He looked at Jared and said "If you'll excuse us." Jared smirked and said "By all means, I'll talk to you later Tilly, my beautiful girlfriend." Sirius heart stopped at that, but he calmed down and grabbed Tilly who was blushing the whole time.
Outside, Sirius led Tilly to a dark corner and said "Boyfriend? I thought you would at least observe who you think you should love." She smiled with a slightly dazed look on her face and said "b-but I love him!" Sirius heart felt like it was broken a million times when he was told this, but something wasn't right about how she looked because her face never looked like that. Suspicious, Sirius asked "and when did you realize this?"
She dazzled him with her beautiful smile and replied "right after I drank my pumpkin juice which tasted a little funky, but I instantly found out that it's Jared the one who I want. So I went up and asked him if he could be my boyfriend and he enthusiastically said yes." While Sirius confirmed what had happened, she sighed and repeated "Jared" and then she said "Hmm would that make me Tilly Jared Bones? That sounds delightful. Oh maybe I should find him now. Okay I will."
Right when she was about to leave and after Sirius thought I'd rather her name be Tilly Black, Sirius grabbed Tilly and said "Don't worry, I know where he is." She smiled again and jumped up and down saying thanks while Sirius was thinking She's so cute. I'm so gonna kill Bones for doing this to her. Then he grabbed her hand and led her into the lower corridors to Slughorns office. At the door, Sirius knocked while Tilly was getting anxious saying "Does my hair look alright? Do I look okay?" He responded while looking at her "You look absolutely gorgeous." She blushed at that but then that dazed look went back on her face saying "Good!" Right when she said that the door opened and out walked Slughorn.
He smiled and asked "now what are you two doing over here?" Sirius responded "I'm sorry sir, but I need the antidote for a very strong love potion." He looked at Tilly and said "Ah yes. Do come in dear boy, but I wonder why you didn't do it yourself considering you're pretty good in my class." Sirius responded "Sorry, but I don't have the ingredients considering we use yours." He chuckled and said "too true my boy. Almost forgot that little detail."
While he said that he grabbed a book, opened it to a page, read the page while grabbing ingredients, and said "Oh I'm sorry for this Mr. Black, but the potion will take about 3 days and you have to help me. Sadly, it might not even work then if she already has a true love. If she does, then she needs to be kissed by him and that will break the spell.
Depressed that Sirius didn't know who would be Tilly's true love, he felt a little hope that the potion will work. Then he asked "What should I do about Tilly now?" Slughorn said "I suggest you bring her to Dumbledore who will figure it out. Now come back tonight after classes and before Astronomy.
After that Sirius thanked Slughorn and grabbed Tilly to bring to Dumbledore. On the way Tilly was pouting and saying "I want my Jared!" Sirius grimaced and responded while grabbing her hand "Don't worry you'll see him soon. Now come on we're almost there." She smiled and started clapping "Yay!"
When they were almost there Sirius couldn't help but think what would happen if it didn't work. Images of Tilly kissing Bones made his blood chill, but the idea that they could be married made him feel like he had no reason to live. When they arrived at the gargoyles Sirius pushed those thoughts away and said "Chocolate Frogs" the gargoyles opened into the moving stairs and they were brought to the door. Before he could knock, Dumbledores' voice said "come in Mr. Black and Miss Lupin." They walked in with Sirius hoping that things will work out for the better.
