Disclaimer: Me, myself and I do not own the wonderous and fabulous Harry Potter, even though I wished I did on a shooting dtar it is not yet true. I wonder how J.K takes to bribes??

A/N: I realise it's been like a year since I updated. I know bad ey but there's many reasons that you probably don't really care about. Anyways I really wanna finish this story so I've started writing again, yes rejoice and stuff. Anyway yes so here's the next rather delyaed chapter heh

An hour later and Lily was reading a book, well at least she pretended she was while all the while she was staring suspiciously at James who hadn't used a pick up line on her for the whole morning and Lily was starting to think that he was sick. Remus was discussing the different wand types with Kiara as she was borrowing Lily's during class and really needed to go to Diagon Alley and see a man named Ollivander. Suddenly the unusually quite common room was disturbed by the only person who could make silence vanish quicker then floo powder Sirius Black. He walked over beside Remus and sat down.

"Well Moony old chum I do believe she likes me?"

Remus who knew he was probably going to regret this question later asked who.

"What's-her-face. Tall brunette Ravenclaw chick. Kinda curly hair and great blue eyes," he said.

"You mean the head girl?" asked Remus.

What happened next was quite an odd site Sirius' smile dropped from his face and was replaced with a look of pure shock and horror.

"What's wrong?" asked James.

"I-I-I" stuttered Sirius.

Remus rolled his eyes and James whacked Sirius over the back of the head.

"I told her that this school was going to the dumps because of the wrongful election of heads and prefects," said Sirius horrified.

"I think you should apologise and…" started Remus.

"Great idea Moony! I'll tell her I didn't know what I was saying because I was drunk on butterbeer," said Sirius standing up and dashing out of the common room again before Remus could inform him that he would have to ingest at least 10 or so butterbeers before he could become drunk.

"That was a good idea Moony," said James with an impressed nod and Remus just gave a small sigh.

"Kiara could you come here a moment," said Lily who had given up all attempts of pretending to read. Kiara jumped up and walked over to Lily and they started having a conversation about Dana's strange ways lately. James grinned and moved closer to Remus.

"So Remmie my man looks like things are going great with Kiara," he said.

"Shh!" said Remus trying to hush him as Kiara was just on the other couch.

James lowered his voice but continued to look at Remus with a smirk.

"I think you're misinterpreting friendship as romance," said Remus determinedly trying to ignore the blush that he could feel was starting to creep onto his cheeks.

"Oh come on Moony, you're in denial and I don't know why. Kiara is quiet good looking and this is coming for a guy who isn't really into blondes," said James.

Remus was about to retort to this when Sirius was back into the common room looking extremely smug and pleased. He even did what appeared to either be a small jump of joy or a spasm, it was difficult to tell.

"It worked Moony, she believed me and I have got a date for Saturday," said Sirius so pleased with himself that he believed he should have the best seat by the fire and so sat directly on James. This resulted in James pushing Sirius onto the floor, punches were thrown and before long there was a full out fight unfolding on the Gryffindor common room. Lily and Kiara looked at the boys who nearly succeeded in knocking over a table which had Lily's finished Transfiguration on it

"Potter!" she yelled causing the whole common room to become completely silent and everyone including James and Sirius turned to look at Lily who seemed a bit surprised at her own outburst. James then quickly untangled himself and stood up brushing himself off.

"Yes Evans dear?" he asked.

Lily didn't say anything; she wasn't even sure why she had yelled out. She put her mind to work trying to think of why she would yell out his name.

"You nearly ruined my homework Potter. Do you know how long it took me to complete that?" she asked.

"Five hours, thirty two minutes and seventeen seconds," answered James not missing a beat.

Everyone turned to look at James now mainly with a bemused expression, Lily looked more shocked then anyone.

"Mate that's just creepy," said Sirius standing up himself.

James felt himself blush a bit as Lily's eyes narrowed "So what you've been stalking me now Potter?" she asked.

James tried to look innocent and failed miserably and everyone went back to what they were doing knowing this was going to turn into the usual Lily and James argument which is exactly what happened.

--------

Later on that day a prefect walked in and pinned sign to the board in the common room before walking out. Everyone exchanged odd looks and then went to try and see. Sirius being the tallest on in the room looked over the heads of everyone and read out the notice.

Attention students

As this has been a rather busy and hectic year for you all it has been decided that to all relax and loosen up that here will be a Christmas Ball. It will be held on Christmas Eve beginning at 8pm in the Great Hall. We hope you will all behave so everyone can have a good time.

For a few moments there was silence and then all the girls in the room started gossiping while all the boys groaned well except for James who looked over at Lily who caught his eye and the proceeded to shake her head and then James pouted. Oh the infamous pout the cruel-make-any-girl-weak-at-the-knees-pout that Lily hated so she picked up a book and hid her face behind it not realising that it was upside down. Kiara and Sirius suddenly had matching smirks on they're faces; they caught each other's eye it was match making time.

"What's happening?" asked Becky as she descended from the girl's dormitory with a yawn.

"There's going to be a Christmas Ball and…" started Kiara before she was interrupted by Becky's high pitched squeal which caused every person in the room to cover they're ears.

"Are you serious?" she asked in that same squeal and Kiara nodded her head causing Becky to squeal again and she dashed out of the room before anyone could say anything.

"Hey Evans," said James sitting down beside Lily who threw him a scathing look.

Kiara who noticed that James was going to ruin any chance he had with Lily took action by grabbing Lily by the hand and dragging her up to the girl's dormitory. This action caused James to look thoroughly disappointed and he slumped down in his seat. Remus who decided it were best he didn't get involved mentioned something about finding Peter disappeared into the boy's dormitory.

"Prongsie I have a plan," declared Sirius grinning broadly.

James looked up at his friend curiously "Yeah?" he asked willing to listen to anything.

"You must woo over the demonic red head," said Sirius

"Yeah and?" prompted James

Sirius paused "Er…"

James slumped down onto the couch so he was now lying down "It's hopeless, she hates me,"

"I don't hate you James," said Sirius who obviously thought h e was doing a wonderful job of impersonating Lily. James on the other hand knew Lily's voice all to well and was not fooled.

"Sirius I hate you," muttered James.

"Prongsie surely you jest. I mean who could possibly hate this face," said Sirius as he did the famous puppy dog eyes worked remarkably well.

James rolled his eyes before sitting up "Hey wait a minute where's Pete?" he asked.

Sirius looked around before checking the dormitory where he saw Remus reading a book and claiming that he hadn't seen Peter all day. Sirius ran back down stairs as Cassie came down from the girl's dormitory.

"Who guys haven't seen Dana have you?" she asked.

James and Sirius shook their heads "But Pete's missing too," said Sirius and then it dawned on the three of them.

"You don't think," started James

"That Pete and Dana are," said Sirius

"Are on a date?" finished Cassie

The three looked at each other and then said in unison "How in the name of Merlin did that happen?!"

Hopefully I should have another chapter up sooner then a year fingers crossed
