Sirius turned to Remus once the screen had faded. "Well, you heard the man let's go!"
"What do you think happened to him? Remus asked concerned.
"Who knows? He probably asked her out and she said no like always or he tried to kiss her and she slapped him… like always… but wait he sounded urgent… soooooo… SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!" Sirius concluded.
"Now let's not get too ahead of ourselves, what could Prongs possibly have done to get her to forgive him and dump Tyler Duke, Captain of the Ravenclaw team, just to go out with him?" Remus reminded Sirius.
"Yeah, whatever!" Sirius retorted.
"Let's go. Sirius, do you want to go to the kitchen and get us some snacks?"
"You actually think I'm going to want to go get food… well you're right just don't think that because I like food a little that I'm going to always going to want to get the food."
"Are you sure it's just a little?" Remus chuckled.
"Don't get mad when your food comes back half-eaten." Sirius warned his friend.
"Yeah, okay. I'll meet you there." Remus said leaving. Sirius followed him out and headed for the kitchen.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Lily's stomach growled loudly. 'I guess I can go eat something.' Lily turned to go to the kitchen. 'Patrolling is going to start soon. I should see if the Heads can patrol with prefects. Tyler is a prefect I can probably ask to go with him, anybody but Potter and Snape.'
Lily looked at the painting at the painting of fruit. She tickled the pear which immediately giggled and obediently opened the door. As soon as Lily entered the room hundreds of house-elves rushed to take her order. "It's okay I don't really want anything," Lily said. The elves contracted a dejected look on their faces. "Except, maybe, a tart and some pumpkin juice." At that their bulgy eyes raised and they instantly prepared her food.
'I'm going to get back at Potter, but how? I need a foolproof plan. I'll make him so jealous he'll wish he never kissed, but who? Tyler would never make him that mad… Remus? No, I would never do that to Dani.' Lily finished her pumpkin juice, stood up, wrapped up the rest of her tart to take with her, and made her way to the door.
Sirius had finally made it to the kitchens. He tickled the fruit and opened the door.
It all happened so quickly. After that minute passed, Sirius then laid on Lily. 'His best friend, Sirius! It's so perfect.' Lily's mind screamed.
"Oh, sorry, Lily," Sirius goofed, "I mean, Evans." He started to get up.
Lily batted her eyelashes flirtatiously and replied, "No it's okay, Sirius, and call me Lily, Evans makes me sound so old." She smiled charmingly and stood up as well.
'Whoa, what is Lily wearing? She should dress like that more often. Stop thinking about Lily like that, brain, she's James'. Why is she talking to me like that and acting like that around me, I thought she hated me?'
"Uh, uh, uh, L-l-lily, what are you doing here?" Sirius stuttered.
"Same as you are, getting food." Lily said turning to go back into the room. "Wow, I'm not even dating you and you already got me lying down."
'Whoa-oa-oa! Where did that come from? The temptation's killing me! I better change the subject.' "Lily, what did you do to James tonight?"
Lily pouted playfully and told him, "Now why did you have to bring that up? Hmmm… Well I simply told him what I always tell him, I will date every seventh year, except Snivellus, of course, and him, Oh and Remus because that would break a friend's heart."
"Uh-huh, so you would date someone like me?"
"Love to, just gotta tell Tyler!" Lily said. "I'll see you later to talk about it! Bye!" And with that she left.
'I am so dead!' Sirius reflected. "Elves get me one of anything you got!"
Lily walked into the Girls' Dormitory with a huge grin on her face.
"Something must have happened for her to have that huge smile on." Daniella joked. Emily looked up and Alice noticed.
"Let's go talk about in your room," Alice said and Emily stood forgetting she wasn't included. Everyone looked at her.
"What, I just need to go and talk to James!" Emily defended herself trying to cover up her mistake. She left the room.
"What, I just need to go and talk to James!" Dani mimicked and everyone laughed. "She acts like they're going out!" Daniella turned to look at Lily, "Lily, why do you have clothes in your hands?"
"I thought I was going to stay here but I don't need to because I got the best plan to get back at Potter. Come on let's hurry!" The three girls got ready to go and were soon off.
Once Sirius had come back and everyone had filled themselves satisfactorily, besides Peter who kept eating, not really paying attention, James filled them in on the night's events.
"Oh man, I was wrong! Lily was right to warn me! Oops!" Sirius covered his mouth with his hands.
"Lily… told you… when?!" James speculated.
"In the kitchen…" Sirius mumbled.
"Well what did she say?" James pondered.
"Prongs, mate, believe me when I say this, you don't want to know." Sirius emphasizing the 'don't'.
"And believe me when I say I do want to know."
'No you don't, mate, you really don't. Fine, I'll just leave out me and Lily going out because we really aren't. Yeah… that's right… we aren't.' "Okay basically I saw her at the kitchen, asked her what happened, and she told me that because of you she would go out with every guy in the seventh year, except you, Snivellus,and Remus."
"WHAT!!!!!" James bellowed.
"Prongs, mate, calm down, it's okay." Remus reassured.
"No, Remus, it is not okay, she would rather go out with someone like Sirius than me!" James said in disbelief.
"Hey! What's wrong with me?!" Sirius retorted.
Lily had finished explaining her plan and what James had done to her to her friends when they reached the painting that opened the Dormitory. Emily was waiting outside.
"What they do kick you out?" Lily said and Daniella and Alice guffawed.
Emily eyes began to water but she held back her tears and replied in what she hoped was a calm voice, "No, I just didn't know the password."
"Then why come at all?!" Lily snapped, but then she got an idea. "Get out of the way!" She shoved Emily and said the password. "Blabberwit." Once inside Lily began to put her plan into action. "Come on, guys, let's go to my room to talk about my date with Sirius!"
'Merlin! THAT CAN NOT BE TRUE!' Emily thought. The girls went into Lily's room and Emily stormed into James'.
"Hey! What's wrong with me?!" Sirius retorted.
"SIRIUS, IS IT TRUE YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH LILY?!" Emily yelled while running into the room and slamming the door behind her. All the boys looked at Sirius, James with an angry look on his face.
Sirius blushed, "Which Lily?"
"EVANS, OF COURSE! WELL, ARE YOU?" Emily kept yelling.
"No, of course not!" Sirius said with a nervous chuckle.
"Now why would Emily think such a preposterous thing, Sirius?" James growled.
Sirius opened his mouth to reply but Emily beat him to it again, "Because Lily said it herself, right in front of my face!"
"SHE SAID WHAT?!" Both James and Sirius yelled.
James got up and stormed into the bathroom. He got to Lily's door and began to shake the knob but it was useless because the door was locked. He began to pound on the door with his fists screaming, "LILY, OPEN THE DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW!!!!" He was so enraged that he didn't even think to open the door magically, he just continued jostle the door knob and bang on the door. "HOW COULD YOU ASK HER OUT, SIRIUS?!"
"Mate, it's not true! I never wanted to go out with Lily. She's telling a lie." Sirius accredited.
"SO YOU'RE CALLING LILY A LIAR!!!" James inquired.
"YES, MATE; I'M CALLING HER A LIAR! I NEVER WANTED TO DATE EVANS!" Sirius hollered.
This time Lily answered by opening her door and facing Sirius with a sad face, "What? So you really never wanted to go out with me, it was all just a big misunderstanding… well… well… well… well fine! Good Night!" And with that she slammed her door shut and locked it.
"Come on, mate, I told you I wasn't going out with her. It was all just a big misunderstanding. Let's go!" Sirius said walking away.
"I don't understand though, she wanted to go out with you. You would be better to date than me! I can't believe it!" James said in disbelief.
Inside…
"Lily, I can't believe you just pulled that off! You are such a good actor!" Daniella exclaimed once they had magically sound proofed the room so the others couldn't hear from outside.
"Actress! And you better believe it, I got him good!" Lily bragged.
"Whatever! Anyway James is so jealous!" Daniella chuckled.
"Well if I can't have Sirius I'll just have to keep flirting with him and wait until the Hogsmeade weekend for my date with Tyler!"
