Sirius was always incredibly weighed down with homework, and he never
really had free time, but he always had time to make small talk with Lily,
hoping to be considered her friend. James noticed this one day while the
friends were in the Common Room, just hanging around. Sirius just got done
asking questions to Lily about the Charms practice they were to be doing.
"Ha, I see your plot, Padfoot. You are trying to get close to Evans to
scope her out for me. God, you are a better friend then I thought." He said
with a loving smile on his face. Padfoot quickly caught Lupin's eye, then
dropped it. That certainly wasn't true, but Padfoot couldn't acknowledge
that. He would risk losing James' friendship, the number one thing he
prized most in the world. James would do anything for Sirius, and Sirius
would do anything for James. It was like the circle of life. "Whatever you
want, Prongsie old pal. Anyway, I'm bored. When's the next time you are
supposed to change anyway Moony?" He said quickly, trying to change the
subject. "Keep your voice down, Padfoot. Do you want everyone to know?
Anyway, its November 15, almost a month from now." Lupin said, not
appearing to be too keen on changing. Padfoot wasn't really thinking about
adventures at Hogsmeade anymore, but more along the lines of going with
someone to Hogsmeade. He thought about this for a long time, and when
mostly everyone went to bed except Wormtail, Prongs, Moony, Padfoot, Lily,
and a few third year students, he decided to make his move tomorrow. He was
going to ask Lily Evans to spend the day with him on the next Hogsmeade
visit.
