"Why are you naked? No, don't tell me, I really, really don't want to know, do I?" Lily asked, staring at Sirius. They were currently standing outside the portrait hole.

"It was James' idea," Sirius stated. "It's not my fault the cake didn't arrive!"

"Cake? Please tell me James wasn't planning to jump naked out of a cake to celebrate my birthday..." Lily muttered.

"No, no, but that was what started the whole idea," Sirius said brightly. Lily just sighed.

"And why are you standing out here instead of being inside?"

"Because I forgot the password?"

"I should just leave you out here, Sirius. I should just pretend I don't see or hear you, and go about my own business and not get involved in whatever the bloody hell James is plotting this time."

"But..."

"I won't, because we both know I won't because I'm a glutton for punishment for some reason. C'mon, Sirius," Lily said, taking off her robe and handing it to Sirius. "It will at least cover that," she stated nodding down to Sirius' manhood. He blushed a bit. "Now, I don't want to hear another word about this, got it?" she asked. Sirius nodded.

"Right, not a word," he answered as Lily gave the correct password and opened the door. They stepped inside and Sirius darted off to the boys' dorm. Peter and Remus looked up from their homework to see Lily.

"What happened to your robe?" Remus asked. Lily rolled her eyes.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," she answered. "I'm going to go burn an image out of my brain and then I'll come help you with the history homework, alright, Peter?' she asked. Peter squeaked out an answer in the affirmative. Lily nodded, charging up the stairs.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"I got it!" Sirius announced the moment he stepped into the boys' dorm. James looked up.

"You got Lily's robe? How? And why are you naked?"

"Never mind either of those two things. All that matters is I got it, now are you going to explain the plan?"

"Simple. I'm going to enchant her robe to smell like me. When she smells me all the time, she'll realize how much she loves me and then I'll ask her out. She'll say yes, because she's in love with my scent and then we'll live happily ever after."

"That sounds... actually better than most of your other plans," Sirius commented, handing James the robe and getting dressed.

"Exactly and that's why it's going to work. You're the best Sirius, you know that? Remus and Peter completely failed on getting this," he said, admiring the robe. He touched the fabric and brought it to his nose. "It smells like her perfume," he commented.

"It should, she did just give to me outside, right before I came up here," Sirius grumbled. James took another long sniff of Lily's robe.

"I need to get to work on the potion to make it smell like me. Peter's probably got Lily distracted by homework questions. Now, how should I do this, just pour it over the robe or weave it in somehow?" James mused. Sirius had sneaked off back down the common room to try and find Remus.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"Here's your robe back, Lily," Sirius said, handing it to her. James had already enchanted it to smell like him. Lily took it.

"What did he do to it?" she asked.

"Who?"

"James, you dolt. You think I don't know this was some elaborate plot to do something to my robe? What's it going to do, fall off in the middle of class?" she asked.

"No, I don't think," Sirius answered truthfully. Lily narrowed her eyes, took her robe and stalked out of the tower.

"She didn't put it on," James whined, staring at Sirius.

"She will," Sirius promised as Lily cast several spells out of sight of the boys, finding out what James had done. She growled, set the robes on fire and vowed to the same to James the moment she got a chance.
