Sirius looked up when Gwen walked into the empty and very dark corridor.
The only light was coming from a set of torches along the hall. He just
stayed sitting there and sat up against the wall watching her movements.
"So what exactly do you want Si? James won't be extremely happy if I'm
extremely late for his big victory party," asked Gwen.
Sirius just smiled a bit at her. "If you were willing to fly on a broom, you have the natural grace to be a superb Seeker," he commented.
"You didn't want to talk to me alone about trying to convince me to join the Quidditch team. It's useless anyhow," replied Gwen, scowling at him. "Just tell me or I'm going to leave!"
Sirius stood up and blocked any chance of Gwen trying to run for the exit and had her blocked into a corner. "I made a stupid mistake earlier this year. And I just want to correct it. We're just perfect together Gwen."
Gwen sighed a bit sadly, once again being the actress. "And I have something I need to." Sirius suddenly silenced her with a kiss. One part of Gwen just wanted to push him away or do a quick kick up with her knee. But the more dominant part seemed to enjoy it. She was even smiling when he pulled away, and that was not acting.
"I'll take that to mean yes?"
"I think I'll have to get back to you on that," replied Gwen. "I've gotten over you and really there's someone else."
"It's Snape, isn't it?" he replied, still remembering Valentine's day.
"He wishes. It's not even a Slytherin," said Gwen. "Just let me get back to you, and no more questions or you'll wake up one morning to find you've missed all your O.W.L.s."
"Very well M'lady. Shall we go back to the Gryffindor Tower before your brother wonders what I've done with you?"
"Bye," replied Gwen, leaving him behind.

Gwen did not make a very long appearance at the party and actually just went up to her room after a half-hour. Lily returned from talking to in only a quarter hour. "She's not doing very well," Lily said to Remus. James was too busy being covered in praise to currently worry what Lily was up to.
"Merlin's beard, what has happened now?" replied Remus, scooting over on a couch so Lily could sit down.
"Well first we need to curse James, yell at James and then drag Gwen back down here if possible." commented Lily. "It seems Sirius is getting very good a persuading, and James is bad with telling Sirius anything."
Remus looked entirely lost. "I was confused, but now you've got me topsy- turvy."
Lily sighed and grabbed Remus' wrist. "First we deal with James and then we can worry about what to do about Sirius." Remus stood up and was dragged by Lily over to the spot where James was sitting with the rest of the Gryffindor team, including Sirius. "May I have a word with James for a moment?" she asked the team sweetly, letting go of Remus.
"Is there something that you can't say in front of everyone?" he replied.
Lily just smiled at him. "Only if you want everyone in here hearing me yell all sorts of profanities at you," she whispered. James didn't want to see what would happen, so he went along quietly. Lily led him off to an empty room, not far from the Gryffindor entrance. Remus stayed behind in the Common Room.
It was not long before Lily came back, alone, but James was not extremely far behind since she had slammed the entrance closed on him. "He's not going to be any help. I can tell that much now," Lily sighed, flopping down on a chair.
"You know, it would really help me out if I even knew what the bloody hell is going on around here, so could you please fill me in?" Remus asked. He looked extremely desperate to know what happened and looked like he was about to go up to the girls' dormitory himself.
Lily looked like she was positive that she had told him, but answered anyhow. "Well it seems Sirius is trying to win Gwen's heart back and did a pretty good job at it. So rather than face either of you, she's hiding up in her bed," responded Lily. "I wouldn't suggest you go up there though unless you want to get throttled by Eva. She's still up there just talking things out with Gwen a bit." Remus looked like he was about to get up and talk to Sirius when Lily stopped him again.
"And I'd let Gwen confront him. Just my suggestion, but she needs to work things out and maybe you're going to lose this one. Though after what I did, I'm not sure about that." Lily smiled with this.
"And what have you done now?" asked Remus, sounding amused.
"Well she told me to smack her if she ever even considered Sirius again. So I did," Lily replied.
"Then we're just going to have to see what happens, but I might have some fun tomorrow..."

The next morning, most of the Gryffindors were either asleep or about to fall asleep in their breakfast. James was lively, but he was also running on 5 kilograms of chocolate. He also seemed to be talking a Quidditch pitch a second, and always about the match to the point where the team could say yes at any moment and not faze James in the least. "Bloody brilliant, but then I knew we would be. There was no possible way that we could have lost to Slytherin." James said, mostly to himself at this point.
"Yes, James," said Sirius, yawning a bit. His head was about to fall in the oatmeal. That was, until he caught sight of his other four friends sitting a bit farther down the table.
Lily and Peter were sitting next to each other. Not that he cared really who Lily was sitting and talking with, that was James' priority. Remus and Gwen sitting across from them though, and they looked a bit close for Sirius' comfort. Remus was sitting behind Gwen with his arms wrapped around her waist. He had his cheek resting on hers shoulder and was talking with Lily. Probably quizzing one another over possible questions on the O.W.L.s. They were only a week away after all.
Still. Sirius looked absolutely envious of the couple who, in all sincerity, looked perfect together. It made Sirius want to do something drastic, and he slowly started to plot.
Sirius just smiled a bit at her. "If you were willing to fly on a broom, you have the natural grace to be a superb Seeker," he commented.
