Chapter 4
A/N: I know this chapter took awhile to come out. :T Writers block. I no longer have writers block so chapters should be coming out much quicker. Thanks to all the reviewers! Scroll down to read all the comments. Now here's the much anticipated chapter.
*~*~*
The first part of their plan was a success. Sirius had managed to convince James to go to the ball with a Ravenclaw 7th year.
Lily and Steph were sitting in the Gryffindor common room doing their history homework when Steph decided to set her part of the plan in action.
"Did you hear that Hannah Summers is going to the ball with James?" Steph asked innocently.
"Mhmm." Lily mumbled. Steph made a face. It was not the reaction she had expected.
"I'm going to the ball with Sirius." Steph said hoping that would make her pay attention.
Lily's head snapped up. "What did you just say?" Her eyes were opened wide in surprise.(a/n: hey~! that kind of rhymed. hehe.)
"I finally got your attention." Steph stated. But Lily obviously did not hear her.
"Did you just say you were going to the ball with Sirius?" Lily asked in disbelief.
"Yes. Is that a problem?" Steph asked.
Lily just looked shock. "You're kidding right?"
"Much to your dismay, no, I'm not kidding." Steph said.
"But Sirius is just...not your type." Lily stated.
"Ever hear of 'Opposites Attract'?"
"But.."
"No buts."
"That's just awfully odd."
"Well if it makes you feel any better, we're going as friends."
Lily looked much more relieved. "Yes. That does make me feel slighty better."
"I heard John Frank is going to ask you to the ball." Steph said casually.
Lily was quiet for a second. She didn't know whether to jump up for joy or scowl at the thought. "Oh." She finally managed to squeak out.
"He would be the perfect dream date wouldn't he?" Steph asked.
"I suppose so." Lily mumbled.
"Speak of the devil." Steph muttered. She smiled inwardly. Her plan was working exactly as she wanted it to be.
John Frank, was indeed approaching their table. He was looking slightly nervous. He had brown hair and blue eyes. Many of the girls at Hogwarts fancied him. Lily had turned around and googled at him like he had four heads.
"Hey Lily." He said.
"Hi."
He ran his fingers through his hair. "Um..can i speak to you privately?"
Lily looked startled but got up and went with him to a deserted corner. When she got back, she had a huge smile on her face.
"So?" Steph asked.
"He asked me and I said yes!" Lily exclaimed. She had a faint blush on her cheeks.
"Now we both have dates to the ball!" Steph said.
Lily started to plan how she was going to do her hair, etc. blocking all thoughts of schoolwork at that moment.
*~*~*
James managed to get away from Hannah's questions about his dress robes. She told him she wanted the night to be unforgettable. That's for sure, he thought, who would forget the worst night of their lives. It was as if she was planning their wedding. He spotted Lily and Steph sitting nearby but decided not to go over there. He needed to relax. He felt his eyelids drooping and fell into a deep slumber.
*~*~*
Sirius was walking down the hallways when someone grabbed and pulled him into an old stuffy closet.
"What-t?"
He didn't have a chance to say anything else because the person kissed him. Hard. She, well from the way she smelled, Sirius assumed it was someone he was vaguely familiar with. She finally decided to pull away. He couldn't see who it was since it was pitch black.
She giggled. "I guess that makes up for what you owed me."
"Ginger?" He asked.
"Of course it's me." She said and continued kissing him.
He pushed her away. "Couldn't you have told me before you dragged me in here?"
She was silent for a moment. "Well I wanted to give you a surprise."
"Don't you think it would be better to continue this in a more comfortable place?"
"Nah. I like it here."
He sighed. "Look Ginger, I have to go."
"Leaving me again?"
"I have to go meet someone."
"Another girl, I suppose?" She sounded hurt.
"No, yes. But it's not what you think." He said.
"I can't believe you."
"Ginger..."
"You really are what the others say about you."
"Wait..."
"Good bye, Sirius. I hope you get back what you deserve." Ginger opened the door to the closet and walked out slamming the closet door. Sirius stood there for a good ten minutes thinking over what Ginger had said. Was he really that terrible?
*~*~*
Steph ran up the steps to the Astronomy Tower hoping she wasn't late with her meeting with Sirius. She couldn't wait to tell him her success. She was surprised to see he was already there. He usually wasn't one to be early. He seem to be thinking hard about something.
"Knut for your thoughts?" Steph asked. He jumped a little at the sound of her voice.
"Nothing big." He replied.
"Okay. Whatever you say." Steph said with a small laugh trying to lighten the mood.
"Am I terrible?" Sirius asked softly.
"What do you mean?"
"Am I that terrible with girls?"
Steph was speechless. She didn't want to tell him the truth and hurt him but she didn't want to lie to him either.
"Just tell me the truth." He said as if he was reading her mind.
"Sorry Sirius, but yes. You are that terrible with girls." Steph said as quickly as she could. She sat down next to him.
He didn't say anything but just looked at her with questioning eyes. She wondered why.
"I mean you could change right?" She continued. "You could just settle down for once."
He just stared at her.
"Okay." Steph said slowly. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Instead of giving her a response, he did the one thing he vowed never to do again that night. He kissed her.
*~*~*
A/N: Yeah I know. =O I was surprised at the ending too. I didn't mean for it to happen. It just did. LOL. Yup, that's me being silly again. ;D I'll start working on the next chapter soon. That all depends on you reviewers. hehe. Now go review. :-) *Scroll down to see the thank yous*
Disclaimer: I only own Steph and Ginger. Actually, Steph owns herself. Anyways, the other characters belong to J.K.Rowling.
