A Match Well Made
Chapter Three: Quarrelsome Affairs
"I can't decide when I should ask him out again. Should I even do it? I think so. I mean, it would show him that I really like him." Angela babbled.
"I think you should definitely go for it! Sirius is a great guy---"
"Did I just hear my name? Or I was I only dreaming that it popped up in the conversation between two beauties such as yourselves?" Sirius said.
"You definitely heard right." Lily said while walking to the other side of Angela so as to let Sirius be near her. Sirius seemed to frown a bit, but it escaped anyone's notice.
"What are you ladies up to? Not ditching class, are we?"
"Us? Ditching? I think you have us mixed up with your own friends, Siri." Lily said. Suddenly an idea popped into her head. "Shoot, I seem to have forgotten my quill in Professor Flitwick's room. I better go back and get it."
"We'll come with you." Sirius said.
"Oh no, I don't want to make you guys do that. Just carry on, I won't be long." With that being said Lily rushed off to get her forgotten quill.
Brilliant, Lily, just brilliant. Now just give them a few minutes and everything should be just fine. He's bound to ask her out, I just know it.
Minutes later, Lily had almost caught up. She was just close enough to hear a bit of their conversation.
"You mean you actually do? That's great! So do I! I can't believe my luck!" Lily sucked her breath in. Sirius had asked her out. Oh, this was just as she had planned. "I thought I was the only one that liked pickles dipped in ketchup!" Lily let out her intake of breath in disgust. At least they found something in common.

Remus Lupin wasn't just an ordinary wizard. True he was extremely good looking, but there was something else that set him apart from all the other Hogwarts students. Remus was a werewolf. Along with this secret, Remus held another one close to his heart. He was in love with Angela Jacobs. He had talked to James about asking Angela out. At first Remus was hesitant about a relationship. Due to the fact the he was a werewolf. His love for Angela soon overcame all reason. He had to ask her out. James knew that the best way for Remus to be happy was to convince him that Angela couldn't possibly say no. And that's just what he did. Remus wrote a letter to Angela expressing his feelings. Of course he knew it was an awful way to ask someone out, but him, being of a shy nature, thought it suitable.
Angela received the letter and was unable to believe its contents. She needed advice and she knew just who to turn to. Lily.
"Lily, you have to take a look at this." Angela said, a letter in her hand.
"What is it?"
"It's a letter from Remus. You just need to read it." Lily read the letter, her eyes wide in shock at what it said.
"It's a very good letter, but you must tell him soon and let him handle his disappointment."
"So you don't think I should go out with him?"
"You mean you were considering it?"
"Well, that's the whole reason I came to you. I wanted your advice."
"Angela, I could never decide for you. You must choose yourself. But I thought that you fancied Sirius. Of course, it wouldn't mean anything if you liked Remus, too."
"I do like Sirius but I guess if you won't help me decide then I'll have to choose for myself. And I had actually almost made up my mind to---reject Remus. Oh, is that mean?"
"Well, since you've decided I'll tell you my thoughts. I think you're doing the right thing. Sirius is a much more promising guy. You guys will be great." Lily said, with a look of relief clearly on her face.

Lily was found outside with James the following day. They were racing on their brooms around the Quidditch pitch.
"Lils, since you love hearing all the juicy couple gossip going around, I thought I'd share with you my latest news."
"Continue. News of any kind is wonderful to have."
"Well, one of the guys in my dorm seems to have taken a liking to Angela."
"Really? And who would this guy be?"
"Remus." Lily's face clearly fell at this statement.
"I seem to be one step ahead of you, James. He actually wrote Angela a letter yesterday. Her answer was no."
"I'm not sure I understand why. You wanted Angela to be with someone and now that someone wants to be with her, she rejects him?"
"Well, as you and I both know Remus is a werewolf. I hardly would want Angela to risk being with a guy that could possible kill her."
"Lily, Remus may be a werewolf once a month but that doesn't make him a monster. He can't control what he becomes. I never believed you would stoop so low as to judge him by that. You never had any objections to him before. Why do you suddenly have them now?" James asked clearly trying not to yell at her.
"When it comes to Angela's well-being I become very defensive. She's like a sister to me and I just don't want her getting hurt."
"I just don't seem to see why you should make her choice for her. She seemed to be enjoying Remus's company on the train."
"Maybe she did, but I just don't find Remus to be her equal."
"I don't think them being equal has anything to do with it. You just want Angela to be with Sirius. I can tell you right now that Sirius seems to have his eye on another girl. Although he may act as if he likes Angela, he sees her only as another fling." James said, anger apparent in his tone of voice.
"Well, aren't you just a little box of information today. Let me just tell you that I only truly care about Angela's—" Lily was cut off by James.
"No more, Lily. I don't want to hear it." With that being said James flew down to land and stormed off. He was seething with anger at Lily's determination to set up Sirius and Angela. If only she knew that it would never happen. Sirius wasn't likely to go out with Angela, she wasn't his type.

A week had passed since James and Lily's fight. Neither of them spoke to each other unless it was absolutely necessary. Neither one of them wanted to admit they were in the wrong. Lily felt horrible for fighting with James, but she just wanted her friend to be happy. Reading always helped Lily get her mind off of things, so that's what she was doing. She was curled up by the fireplace in the common room. It was then that Sirius approached her.
"Lily, I wanted to ask you something." Sirius said sitting down next to her.
"Sure thing, Sirius. What is it?"
"Well, since I had such a great time on the Hogsmeade trip I thought me, you, Angela, and James could all get together and do it again. Angela was so great and I thought it would awesome to do it again. So what do you think?"
"I think it's a fantastic idea! I'd be more than happy to go. And since you had such a nice time with Angela, you should ask her yourself. I think she might like the idea of going again if you asked her rather than me."
"If that's what you want, then I'll ask her." Sirius said with a smile. He got up and went to find Angela.
Lily's thoughts soon took place of her reading. This is going to such a rewarding trip for Angela. James doesn't know what he's talking about. Sirius and Angela are meant to be. Angela Black. It has a nice ring to it.
