Chapter 10- The Evil Plan

"Honestly, though, Belle…how can you like Sirius Black?" Lily asked Isabelle a few weeks later during dinner.

Isabelle shrugged and continued to eat her steak.

Lily rolled her eyes.

How can someone NOT KNOW how they can like someone?

Underneath the table, she felt James' hand touch hers. Lily flushed and instantly laced her fingers through his. She saw James grin next to her.

"Hey, Prongs?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, Padfoot?"

"Are we still going to carry out our evil plan?" He asked with a mischievous gleam in his eye.

Lily, Isabelle, Alice, and Frank—who now sat with them seeing as he and Alice were dating—all raised their eyebrows. Even Remus looked surprised.

Sirius had obviously noticed that he made a mistake on bringing this subject up.

Aw, come on, Padfoot! Is now REALLY the time?

"What are you two up to?" Lily asked, dropping James' hand.

"Uh…nothing…Just—just don't come near the Astronomy Tower around 9:30 tomorrow morning." James said nervously.

"Oh, yeah, 'cause that doesn't give anything away…" Sirius snapped.

Isabelle slapped her boyfriend, who gave her a dirty look.

"Oh, shut up." She said angrily.

Alice glanced at Lily worriedly. But Lily just shrugged.
