A/N: I don't own Harry Potter

"Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, Luna, do you three know why you're in my office?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Because Peter's a rat and Lupin's a chicken?" Luna suggested. Sirius bit his lip to keep from laughing. She had a point.

"You spiked Professor Slughorn's food with an unknown potion, he has not stopped talking about who he knows and other random gibberish."

"Peter ratted us out," Luna stated. "It was just a truth potion."

"At least now I know what you three did. Which one of you brewed it?"

"Not telling," James stated.

"It was harmless," Sirius argued. Professor McGonagall pinched the bridge of her nose. These three, it was always these three. She knew Professor Dumbledore would just turn another blind eye to what the Gryffindor trio had done.

"Detention, all three of you! You will be helping Professor Slughorn, starting tomorrow night at seven. And if you ever, ever do a stunt like this, I will see you three expelled. Do I make myself clear?" Sirius and James nodded. Luna looked at the floor.

"Yes Ma'am," she whispered.

"That went well," James muttered as the three made their way back to the dorms.

"Could've been worse."

"I can't believe that little rat...we can't trust him, guys," Luna stated. James and Sirius blinked but nodded.

"I think Luna's right. I don't know, but lately Wormy's been a little...off."

"Hey, James, you asking Lily to the Valentine's day dance? You'd better hurry up, otherwise you know who will ask her first." Luna rolled her eyes. At least they weren't calling him 'Snivilus' anymore.

"Good point, what do you think Sluggy will make us do?"

"Clean cauldrons, chop ingredients, answer his fan mail?" Luna suggested.

"All the above probably. Obsidian Blade," Sirius said the password and the three stepped inside. Remus was waiting for them.

"Detention, with Sluggy, where's Wormy?"

"Haven't seen him. James has a bigger problem though."

"Oh?"

"Lily's meeting Severus down by the lake to study. Pretty sure he's going to ask her to the dance."

"Dammit," James muttered hurrying back out the portrait hole. Sirius laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"James, trying to get a date to the dance, at least I don't have that problem."

"Really, who are you taking?"

"You, obviously."

"Really? Because you haven't asked me," Luna stated. Remus watched the pair.

"Oh, good point, Luna, will you go the Valentine's day dance with me, please?"

"Sure, I've got to get a dress though." Luna smiled hovering back to the girls' dorm. Dorcas was sitting on her bed reading.

"Sirius asked me to the dance."

"I figured he would. I got asked too!"

"Who?"

"You know Stubbins? He's a Ravenclaw a year younger. He's kinda cute," she added with a smile.

"Good, since we both have dates, you can help me find a dress this Hogsmeade weekend, Lily might be joining us."

"Who's she going with?"

"James or Severus...not sure who asked her first. I think they were racing," Luna laughed.

"She fancies them both?"

"Not sure, but they both fancy her."

"Luna! Are you up there?"

"Speaking of Lily. Later, Dori." Luna hovered back down to find Lily standing at the bottom of her stairs, her hands on her hips.

"You summoned?"

"Did you tell James where I was?"

"I might have mentioned it," Luna said with a shrug. "Why? Did he get in a fight with Severus?"

"Worse! He challenged him to a duel! The winner gets to take me to dance apparently."

"Wicked!" Sirius stated laughing.

"Severus is really good at dueling," Lily muttered. "I swear, if this was your idea!"

"No! I told him where you were, yes, I mentioned Severus might ask you. I told him to stop randomly hexing Severus for no reason, yes. At least he didn't hex Severus before he could ask you. I'd call that a slight improvement?" Lily rolled her green eyes at Luna.
