Lily and Luna started actually plotting the next morning. They discussed their ideas about who would be good for Severus as they headed to breakfast early. The only other person who was there was Dorcas. Marlene was thankfully nowhere in sight.

"What about that girl in Ravenclaw, the one with the blond hair?"

"There are three blonds in Ravenclaw, and that's just our year. That's not counting the sixth and seventh years. I doubt Severus would be interested in someone much younger than himself," Luna stated. "What about one of Sirius' cousins? He's got two of them here at school."

"You don't mean crazy Bella!" Dorcas exclaimed looking at Luna shocked.

"Good point, I think the other one's seeing someone... darn. This is harder than I thought it was going to be. If I didn't dislike Marlene so much, I'd suggest her, but she broke my ink well in history yesterday."

"Maybe you should tell someone?"

"I know, I'm hoping she'll just get over things. I don't even understand why she hates me. It's not like her and Sirius were an item, were they?"

"No. She flirted with him, he flirted back, but no, there was never anything serious."

"You mean sirius?" Luna asked a smirk crossing her face.

"Really? You too? I thought that was just something stupid the boys did."

"Remus started it, honestly. We're betting on who can use that same pun the most in one month. James is winning," Luna added giving Lily a look. The red head rolled her eyes.

"Of course he is, and I'm going to the stupid dance with him," Lily muttered.

"He's not that bad, Lily. I promise, now, you were saying something about a blond in Ravenclaw?"

"Yes. I heard from someone, who heard from someone, who told Dorcas, that one of the blond girls in Ravenclaw thought Severus was kind of cute."

"Dorcas?" Lily asked looking over to their housemate. Dorcas nodded eagerly.

"Nancy Clay, the one over there with the green hair bow. She's the one that told me, I don't know who she was talking about though."

"Let's go find out," Luna stated grabbing Lily's arm.

"Why do I have to come?"

"This was your idea, wasn't it?" Luna asked giving her best friend a pointed look.

"Fine, you're right. But if this blows up in our faces, it was totally your idea. Severus likes you."

"He likes you too."

"More like he's got a crush on me, Luna, not the same thing. Nancy! Hi, I'm Lily, this is Luna and we were wondering if you'd help us with something?" Lily asked giving the Ravenclaw girl a huge smile.

"Maybe, depends on what it is? I'm most certainly not doing your homework for you."

"No, not homework. We have this friend and we're trying to get him a date for the dance."

"Oh, you're here about Severus?"

"Yes."

"Well, I'll never admit I'm the one that told you, but Mindee, the girl with her nose in a book over there. She thinks he's kind of cute. She's also not seeing anyone at the moment. But don't you Gryffindorks get my name involved in any of this," Nancy said. Lily and Luna nodded.

"Thanks, we'll talk to her in a few days so she won't know we talked to you," Luna stated as the two girls headed back to their own table.

"You really think this will work?" Dorcas asked as Lily sat down.

"What's the worst that could happen?" Luna asked grabbing a roll and shoving it in her mouth. "Oh look, here come the boys." Sirius slid into the seat next to Luna and kissed her.

"Hey, beautiful," he whispered.

"Morning, oh, I got another point, Remus. Lily is my witness."

"Lily?"

"Yes, she got another point for your siriusly stupid game," Lily answered rolling her eyes and smirking as Remus realized what she'd said.

"Now you're in on this too?" James asked staring at Lily in disbelief.

"Maybe, how many points to beat you, Potter?"

"More than you'll ever be able to get, Evans," he retorted. Luna laughed.

"I would tell you to get a room, but since we share one..." she started causing Lily to throw a roll at her. Luna dodged and it bounced off the table and landed onto the floor.

"Glad to see I'm such a good influence on you," James smirked causing Lily to raise her arm to throw another roll.

"Ten points from Gryffindor for wasting food," Professor Slughorn yelled walking past. Lily glared at James, but put the roll back on her plate. Luna sighed turning her attention back to Sirius.
