Melissa looked up at him with Ice cool blue eyes, her bottom lip trembling slightly, which the boy in front of her found ever so attractive,

"I hate you Sirius Black!" She hissed softly, yet fiercely at him as James Potter helped her back to her feet. Sirius looked at her blankly, a little confused, alright he'd been run, but only cause James had been chasing him, and okay.. maybe he had ccrashed into her, but it wasn't his fault she had been standing right round the corner. It had been a complete accident really, he'd run round the corner, not looking where he was going, and crashed right into her, sending books, quills and ink flying, Sirius had just stood stock still as she'd shouted at him while James helped her to her feet and collected her things.

"It was an accident!" he protested as he looked sheepishly at her furious face.

"Just stay away from me Sirius!" She spat at him before turning to James. James stepped back and ran a hand through his hair, preparing to be yelled at too. but she just smiled at him sweetly,

"Thanks James." She whispered softly, she smiled once more and walked off towards the Library.

"Great!" muttered Sirius, embarrassed that he'd ket a girl yell at him like that, not that he could have done much about it, "I get the.. 'Stay away from me Sirius I hate you!' and you get the 'Thanks James!' and a sweet smile, how unfair is that?"

"Yeah.." Grinned James, "Definetly head over heels in love with you is this one!" he rolled his eyes slightly.

"Of course she is! I could get her out with me!"

"Prepared to bet on it?" asked James with a sly smile.

"Yes of course!" replied Sirius, "If I get the girl you have to tell Lily how you feel about her!"

"And if I win then you have to..." James thought for a moment then a sly smile crept onto his face, "You have to humiliate Malfoy in the entrance hall."

"Deal!" Said Sirius immediately, knowing that it would probably land him in detention, but then again, he wasn't going to loose! James smiled and they shook hands, then James headed for the changing rooms to get into his quidditch robes for practise while Sirius followed the Direction that Melissa had left in.
