Sirius and Remus returned to the Gryffindor common room holding a white
gold ring with a clear quartz stone embedded in the metal.
Remus hid the ring box in his robes so no one would ask about it.
He saw that Sirius was having a hard time accepting that James was going to propose to the only girl he'd ever loved.
"It's OK Padfoot." assured Remus.
Sirius nodded uncertainly.
James came in the common room with a smile lighting up his face.
"Did you get it?" asked James.
Remus nodded and James walked up the stairs to the dorm.
Remus pulled Sirius with him up to the dorm even though he knew his down trodden friend would not show any interest.
Sirius closed the door behind him and James gestured for Remus to show him the ring.
Remus passed James the box and went to sit on his bed while he got an approval from James.
"It's beautiful just like Ill." smiled James staring at the ring.
"You can also charm the quartz to change colour," said Remus.
Sirius muttered a few words and it changed colour to suit his mood, black.
"Padfoot!" hissed Remus.
"What was that spell?" asked James with instant interest.
"Um just say your name backwards. Like for example Sumer Inpul and then it reflects the casters moods," said Remus.
The stone immediately changed to grey.
"Is there a colour guide with this thing?" asked James.
"No. Its just obvious." said Remus.
"OK. Semaj Rettop." said James and the stone turned a bright pink.
"Cool." smiled James.
"So when are you going to ask lily?" asked Remus.
"Tomorrow night. I can't wait to see her reaction." smiled James closing the box.
Sirius sat on his bed and closed the drapes around his bed, wanting to get away from the happiness.
"What's with him?" asked James putting the box in his robe pocket.
"Nothing, just Sahara hasn't been around for him to ask out again. He really misses her." lied rems changing for bed.
"Poor guy. I wish he had some one like I have Lil." sighed James sitting on his bed as he changed.
"Yeah such a shame." smiled Remus.
Lily lay on her bed watching as Kayla handed over all the homework to Robyn message, who was a timid girl like Kayla but still popular.
"Thanks Kayla. Sorry about my friends they can be a little bossy at times." apologised Robyn holding the piles of parchment in her hand.
"Your friends had better keep their end of the deal or I'll tell professor McGonagall," said lily rolling of her bed and approaching the older girl.
"And she'll do it too." grinned Gaia from her bed where she was meant to be meditating.
"Don't worry, I can assure you Josh Vellum will be putty in your hands tomorrow. I'll help you." smiled Robyn.
"We'll help too Kay. I think you should get some sleep, all that late night writing is really effecting you," said lily.
"Thanks again Kayla. Come up to our dorm tomorrow morning and we'll help you get gorgeous before breakfast." said Robyn before she left the dorm.
Lily saw Kayla was already asleep and covered her in a blanket before closing her drapes.
Gaia was actually meditating now leaving lily to go to sleep.
The Next day...
Sirius woke up to see James was already gone.
Remus was sat on his bed watching Sirius.
"What?" asked Sirius.
"You have to talk to lily. You have to tell her it's over before James proposes," said Remus.
"I can't I love her." said Sirius.
"You have to Sirius." said Remus.
Sirius sighed as he dressed.
"I suppose I have no choice. Where's Jamesy?" asked Sirius.
"Oh he's got a Quidditch practise, so you have your chance to talk to lily." said Remus.
"OK. I'll see you later," said Sirius before he left the dorm.
Lily woke to find Robyn and her four popular friends, Indigo mala, Ren Williams, Alice Drew, Beauti Jama and Heaven Thalia, all giving Kayla a makeover.
"At last your awake," said Gaia who was helping Indigo with Kayla's hair.
"Sorry. Need any help any one?" asked lily.
"Why don't you just get dressed and then you can help us pick out her outfit," said Robyn who was putting make up on Kayla's face.
Lily dressed quickly in the bathroom before picking out Kayla's knee length black skirt and a short-sleeved wrap around white top.
"Perfect." smiled Robyn taking the clothes from lily and passing them to Kayla so she could put them on.
Kayla walked into the bathroom and changed into the outfit, careful not to smug her make up or disturb her hair.
She came out later and lily could hardly recognise her friend.
"Whoa Kay you look whoa." said Gaia in awe.
"Thanks you guys. " smiled Kayla.
Heaven raided Kayla's trunk for shoes and slid her leather boots across to where she was stood.
Kayla stepped into the boots and indigo and Beauti zipped them up for her.
"I think she's ready guys," said Ren with an approving look. "Yep let's go." said Alice.
Kayla followed them out the dorm, with lily and Gaia behind her.
They were going into the great hall when lily noticed Sirius coming down the main staircase.
She felt Gaia pause beside her.
"You go in Gaia I'll be in soon," said lily gesturing for her friend to go.
Gaia gave lily a suspicious look before she went in the hall.
"Hey Sirius, I didn't see you there." smiled lily as Sirius came towards her.
She saw his usual cheeky grin was gone and could tell something was wrong.
"Something wrong Sirius?" asked lily.
"We need to talk Lily," said Sirius in a sad voice.
"Sure." said lily.
Sirius dragged her down to the dungeons where there was hardly anyone there.
"Lily we can't see each other anymore." said Sirius.
"Why? I thought you liked me," said lily.
"I do it's just, James likes you more and well there will only be a lot of trouble we continue to do this." sighed Sirius.
"But Sirius.... we can't do this. I love you," said lily.
"I know. But well James is going to propose." said Sirius.
"He's going to what?" asked lily.
"I know. He loves you that much. Which is why we can't do this anymore." said Sirius.
"But what if I don't say yes. We can still be together then can't we?" asked lily taking his hand desperately.
"I'm sorry Lily," said Sirius shaking his head.
Lily sighed dropping his hand.
"I've got to go now lily. But remember what ever happens I will always love you," said Sirius walking back up to the great hall.
Remus hid the ring box in his robes so no one would ask about it.
He saw that Sirius was having a hard time accepting that James was going to propose to the only girl he'd ever loved.
