James sat in the great hall, buttering some toast. He was about to
take a bite when Lily slammed her books next to him.
"James Potter I hate you!" Her face was bright red. Sirius, who was talking to some Ravenclaws, came over to watch Lily rant.
"Oy! What did he do this time?" Sirius laughed.
"You made me agree to.." She stopped.
"What?" James asked menacingly.
Her eyes were squeezed shut. She sat down and whispered. "You got me so scattered brained that I have to go to Hogsmeade with Snivellus."
"Snivellus? Now you're talking-" Sirius started, but stopped himself. "Wait--Snivellus?" He started to laugh so hard he had to sit down.
"How did I make you do that?" James asked with a devilish grin on his face.
"You blew me a kiss!" She screamed. James looked at Sirius and started to laugh.
Through chortles James managed to say, "Well, excuse me for blowing you a kiss, which I must admit I was being sarcastic." He picked up his books and a piece of toast, leaving Lily with a cackling Sirius.
"Well, if it doesn't work out between you two, send me an owl." He winked and took a piece of toast off of James's plate and followed him out of the great hall.

Saturday came and much to Lily's dismay, Severus did not forget his date with Lily. They walked down the cobble stone roads util they reached a small bar called Hogshead.
"What do you think we stop here?" He asked.
"That would be fine." Lily answered, smile plastered on her face. Snape led Lily to a small round table with two chairs-a sure sign this was really a date.
"Lily," He began, touching her wand hand ever so slightly. "Your wand.It's very good for charm work."
"Yes, I think that's what the man said." She took her hand back.
"Well, how would you like to join a little club of mine? We serve-"
Lily's stomach dropped. "Listen Severus. I don't want to know whom you serve. I don't want to know anything." She stood up and ran out of the bar.

"I told you they fancied each other." Sirius stated, looking at some Fizzing Whizbees in the window of the joke shop. He pointed to them. "Shall we go in there?"
James craned his neck to look at the window as well. "No, we have a lot of Fizzies." He messed up his hair. "What do you reckon Snape wants with Lily anyway?"
"Probably for her to join his evil followers of the Dark Lord Vol-" Lupin pulled Sirius in to the joke shop before he could finish. James and Peter stood outside, noticing everything had stopped and all the people on the street were staring.
"Well, he must've missed his medication again. What do you think Peter?" James said rather loudly, so the people could hear him.
"I think we should take him back to St. Mungo's." Peter yelled.
"Right then, maybe some Whizbees will calm him down." The two waved goodbye and backed into the joke shop, where they soon encountered an angry Remus.
"Sirius, not everyone is as care free as you." He said, a bit sadly.
"Well then, they should be." He answered, picking up an enchanted quill. "I was only joking. Even I have more respect for Snivellus than to think that." The three stared at him.
"Really?" Peter asked, a bit awestruck.
"No. I was just trying to make Moony feel better." He smiled and walked over to the counter, where he brought the quill he was toying with before. Lupin rolled his eyes.
James, feeling a bit awkward with the silence changed the subject. "What did you just buy?"
"A pen." He walked out of the store. James quickly followed him.
"Am I supposed to believe it's just a pen then?"
Sirius stopped mid walk. "Yes, and next you ask me to borrow a quill, don't even suspect it might squirt ink all over you or not write the letters A, E, or R." He began to walk again.
"Okay, I wont." James agreed. Remus and Peter had caught up with them now.
"What does the pen do?" Peter asked nervously.
James laughed. "I don't know, but I do know it doesn't squirt ink all over you and writes the letters A, E, and R clear as day."
Remus sighed. "At least OWLs are over." He saw Sirius stop walking in front of him. "THAT TIME I WAS PRETENDING!" He yelled. He saw Sirius nod and keep walking. But stop again and turn around.
"THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PRETEND!" He paused and gave some staring old ladies a nasty look. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PRETEND YOU DON'T CARE!"
"WHOOPS! I'LL HAVE TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU WHEN WE TAKE OUR NEWTS. WHAT NEWT CLASSES DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET INTO?" Lupin asked, ignoring the appalled onlookers.
"THERE YOU GO AGAIN! JUST FORGET IT! YOU WONT BE ABLE TO DO IT!" Sirius rolled his eyes.
"DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME!" Lupin yelled back.
"WHY SO GITTY?IT ISN'T THAT TIME OF THE MONTH AGAIN?" This caused the street to stop again, engulfed in silence. An elderly wizard was staring at Remus, with an odd look on his face.
Remus gnarled his teeth and bit the air. "Werewolf." The old man just rolled his eyes and walked into the nearest shop. Peter, who was standing next to a laughing James, followed the man.
"Move along. There's nothing for you to see here. Some people are so rude." Lupin shooed people away making his way to Sirius.
"Sorry mate, forgot where we were." He could barely contain his laughter.
"A pile of rubbish." Lupin walked past him. "And you now have a date with a werewolf."
"James Potter I hate you!" Her face was bright red. Sirius, who was talking to some Ravenclaws, came over to watch Lily rant.
"Oy! What did he do this time?" Sirius laughed.
"You made me agree to.." She stopped.
